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.

In this study we investigated the electrical properties of ZnO-based MOS capacitor with $HfO_2$ as the gate dielectric. MIM capacitor, which uses either $HfO_2$ or $Al_2O_3$ as the dielectric layer, is also studied to understand the dependency of the dielectrics on the preparation conditions. It was found that thinner $HfO_2$ films yield better electrical properties, namely lower leakage current and higher breakdown electric field. These properties were observed to deteriorate when subsequently annealed. Capacitance in the depletion region of MOS capacitor was found to increase with UV ozone treatment time up to 60min. However, when the treatment time was extended to 120min, the trend is reversed. The 'threshold voltage' was also observed to positively shift with UV ozone treatment time up to 60min. The shift apparently saturated for longer treatment.

Campylobacter jejuni was studied for its disinfection by heat-and cold-treatment and UV-irradiation. When C. jejuni was treated by heat, no viable cell was found after 10 min treatment at $55^{\circ}C$, whereas small fraction of cell population was survived after 60 min treatment at $45^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. When they were treated by cold temperature for 30 days, no cell was survived at -$23^{\circ}C$ but about 4 log of the cells were survived at both temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ and -$40^{\circ}C$. When the organisms were UV-irradiated, thier survival rates were proportionally varied to the distance of irradiation. The scanning electron microscopic studies of C. jejuni cells treated by the disinfecting agents revealed that shapes of thecells were deformed from spiral rod into spherical form. The heat-treated cells showed rough and damaged surface on the scanning electron micrographs. In the heat-treated cells, some proteins of high molecular weight appeared to become accumulated in the electrophoretic analysis. The DNAs extracted from the cells treated with the physical agents showed some differences in agarose gel electrophoresis, comparing those of normal cells.

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings were irradiated or not irradiated with UV-B for several days in environment controled growth chambers. The first leaves irradiated with UV-B were retarded in growth but simultaneously acquired a remarkably high tolerence to oxidative stress, as induced by SA treatment, compared with the non irradiated leaves. Observed within 1 d after the start of UV-B and was maintained during the 5 d period of UV-B treatment. There were low rates of growth and photosynthesis in cucumber plants when treated with SA, suggesting alterations in anatomy and ultrastructure organisation of chloroplasts. Exogenous application of SA diminished chloroplast photosynthetic activity.

This study investigated the treatment of acetaminophen in municipal wastewater by conventional ozonation, ozone-based advanced oxidation, ozone/UV, and the electro-peroxone process. The ozone/UV process and electro-peroxone process of electric power consumption increased 1.25 and 2.04 times, respectively, compared to the ozone process. The pseudo-steady OH radical concentration was the greatest in the electro-peroxone process and lowest in the ozone process. The specific energy consumption for TOC decomposition of the ozone/UV process and electro-peroxone process were 22.8% and 15.5% of the ozone process, respectively. Results suggest that it is advantageous in terms of degradation performance and energy consumption to use a combination of processes in municipal wastewater treatment, rather than an ozone process alone. In combination with the ozone process, the electrolysis process was found to be more advantageous than the UV process.

Wood has always been used for various day-to-day applications such as interior or exterior construction materials, and household products. However, it can undergo photodegradation and discoloration by environmental factors including ultraviolet (UV) light, and thus has shortened its service life. Bleaching or delignification of wood surfaces is a suitable solution to stabilize wood against weathering by UV because these techniques can alter or remove the chromophores in lignin, which is a main factor of wood discoloration. To improve the color stability of wood surface according to the lifespan, surface delignification was conducted using peracetic acid (PAA) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) on the woods of Larix kaempferi and Quercus mongolica. After the PAA treatment, L^* increased considerably from 60-70 to 90-95. Furthermore, wood surface color did not change significantly after UV exposure. The color differences (𝜟E^*) between before and after PPA treatment of wood showed the 4.8-12.2 of L. kaempferi, and 1.7-3.7 of Q. mongolica, respectively. The lignin-related peaks in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra disappeared with increased duration of PAA treatment. These results confirmed that the lignin component was partially or completely removed after the PAA treatment; the color differences (𝜟E^*) clearly showed that there was a reduction in redness (a^*) and yellowness (b^*), and an increase in lightness (L^*) owing to the removal of lignin. Based on these results, this study demonstrated that the partial removal of lignin from wood surfaces is a fundamental method for resolving photo-degradation.

In order to investigate low molecular antioxidants synthesized by enhanced UV-B radiation, we used the seedlings of two rice varieties. Woonjangbyeo, UV-tolerant, and Hwajoongbyeo, UV-susceptible, were subjected under supplemental UV-B irradiation. When rice seedlings were irradiated with UV light for short period, biosynthesis of total phenolic compound, ascorbate and glutathione were momently reduced. With an increase of UV-B radiation, however, those were slightly synthesized. The content of lipid peroxides in UV-challenged rice leaves was considerably increased after 12 hrs of UV-B treatment. Lipoxygenase activity under supplemental UV-B radiation was differently responded on rice varieties.

Interactive effects of UV-B and Cd on growth, pigment, photosynthesis, and lipid peroxidation have been studied in Anabaena, Microcystis, and Nostoc; all the tested cyanobacteria showed differential sensitivity to different dosage of UV-B and Cd alone as well as in combination. Phycocyanin was severely affected by UV-B and Cd by all the strains; the degree of pigment bleaching was most pronounced in Anabaena followed by Microcystis and Nostoc. $UV-B_2+Cd_2$ produced nearly 83, 78, and 65% inhibition of phycocyanin in Anabaena, Microcystis, and Nostoc, respectively. The above treatment also significantly decreased the contents of Chl ${\alpha}$ and carotenoid. Presence of capsule in Microcystis protected the phycocyanin bleaching as compared to decapsulated cells. Laboratory-grown Microcystis revealed about 75 and 80% inhibition, following $UV-B_2+Cd_2$ treatment, respectively. in capsulated and decapsulated cells. Damage caused by Cd was more pronounced than UV-B. Inhibition of photosynthesis did occur in all the test strains, being maximum in Anabaena. PS II was the most sensitive component of the electron transport chain, showing 84, 80, and 70% inhibition in Anabaena, Microcystis, and Nostoc, respectively. As compared to control, significant lipid peroxidation (6.5-fold higher) was observed in Anabaena with $UV-B_2+Cd_2$, $^{14}C-uptake$ was more susceptible to Cd and Uv-B than oxygen-evolution. Approximately 84, 80, and 76% inhibition of $^{14}C-uptake$ was observed in Anabaena, Microcystis, and Nostoc, respectively. Similarly, $UV-B_2+Cd_2$ inhibited APT content of Anabaena by 87%. This ,study suggests that inhibition of carbon fixation was due to decreased ATP content of the test cyanobacteria by UV-B+Cd, where Anabaena was the most sensitive and Nostoc the most tolerant.

조류는 호소의 부영양화 현상을 발생시킬 뿐 아니라 전반적인 정수처리공정에 많은 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 그 중에서도 조류 세포와 조류유래 유기물질(Algogenic Organic Matter; AOM)은 휴믹물질처럼 염소 소독 시 유해성 물질인 소독부산물질(Disinfection By-Products; DBPs)을 형성하는 전구물질이다. 본 연구는 전 염소처리와 응집공정에 의한 조류유래 유기물질의 제거특성 변화를 확인하였으며, 또한 부영양화된 호소수 처리 공정으로 철(III)을 이용한 고도응집공정과 UV산화 공정의 적용성을 평가하였다. 전 염소처리공정은 조류제거에는 효과적이지만 수중의 DOC(Dissoluble Organic Carbon)농도와 TMHs(Trihalomethanes) 생성량을 증가시켰다. 응집실험에서는 응집 반응 pH가 조류유래 유기물질과 소독부산물질 제거에 있어 중요한 인자로 작용하였으며, 중성 pH에서 보다 낮은 반응 pH 5에서 DOC, THMs 제거율이 각각 50%와 28% 향상되었다 조류유래 유기물질과 THMs제거에 있어 UV 산화 공정을 적용한 결과, $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{3+}$ 공정이 가장 효과적이었지만, 반응 pH를 조정한 고도응집공정보다는 효과적이지 않았다.
