A solar radiation model was used to investigate the UV radiation at the surface offing Sejong Station in West Antarctica. The results calculated by this model were compared with the values measured by UV-Biometer and UV-A meter during 1999-2000. In this study, the parameterization of solar radiative transfer process was based on Chou and Lee(1996). The total ozone amounts measured by Breve. Ozone Spectrophotometer and the aerosol amounts by Nakajima et al.(1996) was used as the input data of the solar radiative transfer model. And the surface albedo is assumed to be 0.20 in summer and 0.85 in winter. The sensitivity test of solar radiative transfer model was done with the variation of total ozone, aerosol amount, and surface albedo. When the cosine of solar zenith angle is 0.3, Erythemal UV-B radiation decreased 73% with the 200% increase of total ozone from 100 DU to 300 DU, but the decrease of UV-A radiation is about 1%. Also, for the same solar zenith angle, UV-A radiation was decreased 31.0% with the variation of aerosol optical thickness from 0.0 to 0.3 and Erythemal UV-B radiation was decreased only 6.1%. The increase of Erythemal W-B radiation with the variation of surface albedo was twice that of UV-A increase. The surface Erythemal UV-B and UV-A radiation calculated by solar raditive transfer model were compared with the measured values fer the relatively clear day at King Sejong Station in West Antarctica. The model calculated Erythemal UV-B radiation at the surface coincide well with the measured values except for cloudy days. But the difference between the model calculated UV-A radiation and the measured value at the surface was large because of cloud scattering effect. So, the cloud property data is needed to calculate the UV radiation more exactly at King Sejong Station in West Antarctica.

The photodegradation and by-products of the gaseous toluene with $TiO_2$ (P25) and short-wavelength UV ($UV_{254+185nm}$) radiation were studied. The toluene was decomposed and mineralized efficiently owed to the synergistic effect of photochemical oxidation in the gas phase and photocatalytic oxidation on the $TiO_2$ surface. The toluene by the $UV_{254+185nm}$ photoirradiated $TiO_2$ were mainly mineralized $CO_2$ and CO, but some water-soluble organic intermediates were also formed under severe reaction conditions. The ozone and secondary organic aerosol were produced as undesirable by-products. It was found that wet scrubber was useful as post-treatment to remove water-soluble organic intermediates. Excess ozone could be easily removed by means of a $MnO_2$ ozone-decomposition catalyst. It was also observed that the $MnO_2$ catalyst could decompose organic compounds by using oxygen reactive species formed in process of ozone decomposition.

The feasibility study for the application of the removal and mineralization of Rhodamine B (RhB) was performed in a batch electrochemical reactor. The electro/UV process was consisted of DSA (dimensionally stable anode) electrode and UV-C or ozone lamp. The experimental results showed that RhB removal by the ozone lamp was higher than that of the UV-C lamp. Optimum current of the electro/UV process was 1 A. The electrochemical, UV and electro/UV process could completely degrade RhB, while a prolonged treatment was necessary to reach a high level RhB mineralization. It was observed that RhB removal in electro/UV process is similar to the sum of the UV and electrolytic decolorization. However, it was found that the COD of RhB could be degraded more efficiently by the electro/UV process (90.2 %) than the sum of the two individual oxidation processes [UV (19.7%) and electrolytic process (50.8%)]. A synergetic effect was demonstrated between the UV and electrolysis.

본 연구에서는 활성탄 흡착, 오존 단독, 오존/활성탄 혼합공정을 이용하여 부식산을 처리하고 부식산의 처리효율을 $UV_{254}$와 DOC를 통해 살펴보았으며, 부식산의 분해특성은 분자량 크기분포의 변화와 활성탄 표면변화를 통해 관찰하였다. 각 공정에서의 DOC 제거효율을 살펴본 결과, 활성탄 흡착공정은 약 19%, 오존 단독공정은 38%이었으나, 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서는 약 80%로 활성탄 흡착공정과 오존 단독공정의 DOC 처리효율을 합한 것보다 훨씬 높아, 혼합공정을 도입함으로써 시너지 효과를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기리고 $UV_{254}$ 감소율 역시 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서 활성탄은 고유의 흡착제 역할뿐만 아니라 흡착된 유기물과 오존의 접촉을 촉진시키는 반응자리를 제공하는 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다. 각 공정에서의 분자량크기분포 변화를 살펴본 결과, 활성탄 흡착공정에의 분자량 크기분포는 반응 전후에 큰 차이가 없었으며, 오존 단독공정에서는 30 kDa 이상의 분자량이 반응시간 10분 이후에는 거의 감소하지 않고 일정하였으나, 0.5 kDa 이하의 저분자량은 초기 4.8%에서 120분 처리시 12.3%로 증가하였다. 한편 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서는 120분 처리시 30 kDa 이상 분자량이 초기 36.3%에서 3.9%로 뚜렷하게 감소하였으며, 0.5 kDa 이하의 저분자량은 초기 4.8%에서 40.1%로 크게 증가하였다.

Ozone is one of the most significant atmospheric constituents controlling the intensity of solar UV-B irradiance (280 to 320nm), and the decrease of the total ozone amount supported by ozonesondes and spectrometers will result in the increase of UV-B irradiance at the earth's surface. For example, 1% decrease in stratospheric ozone is expected to yield a 2-3% increase in UV-B irradiance and in the incidence of skin cancer. (omitted)

Ozone/high pH, Ozone/$H_2O_2$ 공정 및 OH라디칼 scavenging 조건인 알칼리도가 존재하는 공정에서의 오존처러 후 생성되는 과산화수소의 농도와 $UV_{254}$ 감소율의 변화를 통하여 유기물의 분해 특성을 조사하였다. 부식산의 농도, 초기 pH 및 과산화수소와 알칼리도의 농도 등을 변화시키면서 생성되는 과산화수소의 농도와 $UV_{254}$ 감소율을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 수중 부식산의 오존처리시 부식산과 오존과의 반응에 의한 과산화수소의 생성과 부식산의 분해에 따른 $UV_{254}$의 감소는 서로 다를 반응경로를 거치는 것을 확인 하였다. 생성되는 과산화수소의 농도는 용존 오존분자의 안정성이 높은 산성조건에서 높게 나타났다. 반면, $UV_{254}$의 감소율은 강알칼리성 용액이나 $H_2O_2$가 투여된 경우, 즉 ${\cdot}OH$, ${\cdot}HO_2$와 같은 라디칼이 많이 형성되는 조건에서 높았다. 이러한 결과는 부식산의 오존처리 과정에서 생성되는 과산화수소의 농도가 용존 오존분자의 직접반응에 주로 의존하는 반면, $UV_{254}$의 감소율은 오존분자의 직접반응과 더불어 라디칼과의 간접반응에 영향을 받음을 나타낸다.

In this study, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), an endocrine disrupting chemical, was removed by ozone treatment processes under the various experimental conditions including UV irradiation, $TiO_2$ addition. The ozone flow rate and concentration were maintained at $1.0L{\cdot}min^{-1}$ and $70{\pm}5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The pH, COD and TOC of the samples were obtained every 10 minutes for 60 minutes in laboratory scale batch reactor. We found that the combination of UV irradiation and $TiO_2$ addition for ozonation improves the removal efficiency of COD and TOC in 4-NP aqueous solution. In case of the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ system, COD and TOC were greatly reduced to 85.3 ~ 94.0% and 89.2 ~ 97.2%, respectively. 4-NP degradation rate constants, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$, were calculated based on the COD and TOC values. Significantly, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were improved in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ treatment process compared with single $O_3$ process, because the oxidation and the mineralization of 4-NP were increased by generating of the hydroxyl radical. The $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were obtained to be $5.81{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}10.8{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ and $11.9{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}19.4{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ process. Activation energy ($E_a$) of ozone oxidation reaction based on $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were increased in order of $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ < $O3/UV$ < $O_3/TiO_2$ < $O_3$ process. It was confirmed that the addition of $TiO_2$ and UV irradiation to the ozone oxidation reaction significantly reduced the $E_a$ value and the degradation of 4-NP.

The performance of ozone contactor in ozone-BAC advanced water treatment process was evaluated by the degree of decomposition of organic matters. The degree was measured by the analyses of $UV_{254}$ absorbance and the concentrations of DOC and BDOC for the sand filtered water and the ozone treated water, respectively. In addition, the ozone concentration in the contactor, required for the maximum BDOC concentration, was selected as the optimum concentration, and the appropriate residential time of ozone treated water in a reservoir was recommended based on the residual ozone concentration in the treated water. The following results were obtained from the pilot scale experiments. By ozonation $UV_{254}$ absorbance was decreased, and BDOC concentration was increased. The change of DOC concentration by ozonation was negligible, but the excess input of ozone resulted in the removal of the small amount of BDOC by complete oxidation. The optimum ozone concentration was 0.58mg $O_3/mg$ DOC. In order to remove residual ozone, 20minutes of the residential time were enough after ozonation.

UV-catalytic oxidation technique was applied for the treatment of bio-refractory character of the leachate, which is generally present in the form of adsorbable organic halogens (AOX). Destruction of AOX was likely to be governed by pH adjustment, quantitative measurement of oxidants, and the selection of oxidation model type. Peroxide induced degradation ($UV/H_2O_2$) facilitated the chemical oxidation of organic halides in acidic medium, however, the system showed least AOX removal efficiency than the other two systems. Increased dosage of hydrogen peroxide (from 0.5 time to 1.0 time concentration) even did not contribute to a significant increase in the removal rate of AOX. In ozone induced degradation system ($UV/O_3$), alkaline medium (pH 10) favored the removal of AOX and the removal rate was found 11% higher than the rate at pH 3. Since efficiency of the $UV/O_3$ increases with the increase of pH, therefore, more OH-radicals were available for the destruction of organic halides. UV-light with the combination of both ozone and hydrogen peroxide ($UV/H_2O_2$ 0.5 time/$O_3$ 25 mg/min) showed the highest removal rate of AOX and the removal efficiency was found 26% higher than the removal efficiency of $UV/O_3$. The system $UV/H2O_2/O_3$ got the economic preference over the other two systems since lower dose of hydrogen peroxide and relatively shorter reaction time were found enough to get the highest AOX removal rate.
