Because of refractory property of light, the travel path of UV light becomes longer than the straight line and shorter solely in water as UV light passes sequentially through air, quartz and water. Note that water significantly absorbs UV light. Hence, UV intensity shall be estimated to be lower when refraction is neglected than it is considered. Reflection is also critical for the design of UV radiation system. While the reflection at the interface of air and quartz is low enough to ignore, it is too high to be ignored at the interface of quartz and water. Assuming constant power, smaller length to width ratio of UV reactor is beneficial and single-lamp system is preferred to multi-lamps. Under the given cross section, optimal lamp positions could be decided. For example of an elliptical reactor with dual lamps, the optimal lamp locations shall be the 1/3 and 2/3 position of the longer axis.

This project studies marine Vibrio vulnificus in oysters in the marine environment and attempts to correlate this bacteria's presence within various environmental parameters; we design this study to determine how different storage temperatures affect the survival of V. vuinficus in oysters and whether V. vulnificus is able to persist in oysters after exposure to UV light-disinfected seawater. Experimental depuration systems consist of aquaria containing temperature-controlled seawater treated with UV light and 0.2 ㎛ pore size filtration. Results showed that depuration at temperatures higher than 25℃ caused V. vuinificus counts to increase in oysters. Throughout the process, depuration water contained high concentrations of U vuinificus indicating"that the disinfection properties of UV radiation and 0.2 ㎛ pore size filtration were less than 어e release of V. vuinificus into seawater, In contrast, when depuration seawater was maintained at 10℃, the numbers of V. vuinificus were very little and multiplication in oysters was inhibited.

Disinfecting water containing pathogenic microbes is crucial to the food safety of fresh green agricultural products. The UV-activated peracetic acid (UV/PAA) treatment process is an efficient advanced oxidation process (AOP) and a versatile approach to disinfecting waterborne pathogens. However, its effects on plant growth remain largely unknown. This study found that low-dose UV/PAA treatment induced moderate oxidative stress but enhanced the innate immunity of Arabidopsis against Pseudomonas syringae pv. (Pst) DC3000. When applied as water sources, 5- and 10-ppm UV/PAA treatments slightly reduced biomass and root elongation in Arabidopsis seedlings grown under hydroponic conditions. Meanwhile, treatments of the same doses enhanced defense against Pst DC3000 infection in leaves. Accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and callose increased in UV/PAA-treated Arabidopsis samples, and during the post-infection period, UV/PAA-treated seedlings maintained vegetative growth, whereas untreated seedlings showed severe growth retardation. Regarding molecular aspects, priming-related defense marker genes were rapidly and markedly upregulated in UV/PAA-treated Arabidopsis samples. Conclusively, UV/PAA treatment is an efficient AOP for disinfecting water and protecting plants against secondary pathogenic attacks.

A feasibility test was conducted to evaluate the addition of turbidity substance in a coagulation process to remove natural organic matters (NOM), the precursor of disinfection by-products (DBPs). The experimental water sources were synthetic water containing 5 mg/L of humic acid and 50 mg/L of NaHCO3 and drinking water resource of Ulsan city (S Dam water, D Dam water and Nak-Dong raw water). The examined turbidity substances were kaolin, acid clay, and modified clay (0.38 meq $NH_4{^+}-N/g$ clay). In Jar tests at different concentrations of the turbidity substances (5, 10, 15, 20, 30 mg/L) using the synthetic water, the turbidity substances improved the removal of turbidity, UV-254 absorbance and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by 23.8-38.1%, 17.0-24.5% and 2.5-44.5%, respectively. The modified clay showed higher removal efficiencies than other substances. In Jar tests using the drinking water, 10 and 20 mg/L of modified clay enhanced the removal efficiencies of turbidity, UV-254 absorbance, DOC, trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP), and haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) by 3.0~4.3%, 19.1~29.0%, 12~34.9%, 4.9~36.7%, and 1.6~30.2%, respectively.

Chlorination and UV illumination are being widely applied to inactivate a number of pathogenic microbials in the environment. Here, we evaluated the inactivation efficiency of individual and combined treatments of chlorination and UV under various aqueous conditions. UV dosage was required higher in waste water than in phosphate buffer to achieve the similar disinfecting efficiency. Free chlorine generated by electrolysis of waste water was abundant enough to inactivate microbials. Based on these, hybrid system composed of sequential treatment of electrolysis-mediated chlorination and UV treatment was developed under waste water conditions. Compared to individual treatments, hybrid system inactivated bacteria (i.e., E. coli and S. typhimurium) and viruses (i.e., MS-2 bacteriophage, rotavirus, and norovirus) more efficiently. The hybrid system also mitigated the photo re-pair of UV-driven DNA damages of target bacteria. The combined results suggested the hybrid system would achieve high inactivation efficiency and safety on various pathogenic microbials in wastewater.

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.

본 연구는 수산양식분야에서 용수를 살균하기 위해 제품화되어 있는 UV 및 플라즈마 장치를 100 ℓ 수조에 적용하고 처리수를 1 ℓ씩 채수, 농축하여 시료 내 세균 수의 변화를 확인하여 두 가지 처리 방식에 따른 효과를 비교하였다. 각 장치를 6시간 동안 작동시키면서 일반 해수 내 세균을 MA, TCBS, SS 배지에 배양하여 세균 수 변화를 확인하였고, 살균처리된 해수 내 Edwardsiella piscicida를 인위 접종한 후 처리수 내 E. piscicida 세균 수 변화를 확인한 결과 UV 장치와 플라즈마 장치 간의 세균 저감 효율은 99.5~99.9% 수준으로 거의 유사한 수준으로 확인되었다. 2가지 장치를 적용하여 100 ℓ의 수량을 동일한 시간 동안 처리하였을 때, 플라즈마 방식의 경우 UV 장치와 비교하여 더 짧은 시간 안에 세균을 사멸하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 단기적(6시간)으로만 세균 수 변화를 확인한 것으로, 사료찌꺼기, 배설물, 연안 오염 등에 따라 수질의 변동이 크고 biofilm과 유기물이 많이 존재하는 실제 양식환경을 고려할 때, 탁도와 유기물의 존재에 따라 한계가 있는 UV 처리 방식보다는 지속적이고 일정한 효과를 유지할 수 있는 플라즈마 처리 방식이 보다 효율적일 것으로 사료된다.

Reballasting at sea, as recommended by the IMO guidelines, currently provides the best-available measure to reduce the risk of transfer of harmful aquatic organisms, but is subject to serious ship-safety limits. It is therefore extremely important that alternative, effective ballast water management and treatment methods are developed as soon as possible, to replace reballasting at sea. Filtration-Ultraviolet radiation-Electrolytic process (FUE) was evaluated for disinfection of seawater used In ballast water Optimal current density and UV light intensity were 2.0A/dm$^2$ and, 220㎼/$\textrm{cm}^2$/m with which 100% reduction time was 2sec in a Ultraviolet radiation-Electrolytic process. This study showed that FUE process was effective for the disinfection of commonly isolated bacteria and bacillus from ballast water.

Ozone/UV combined process is an effective technique to enhance generation of OH radical which is non-selective and powerful oxidant. The objective of this study is to evaluate the inactivation rates of B. subtilis spores by three candidate processes (ozone alone, UV alone, ozone/UV combined processes) at 4 and $20^{\circ}$ and to investigate the effects of OH radical on inactivation of B. subtilis spores. On the UV alone process, required UV dosages for lag phase and 3-log inactivation of B. subtilis spores were determined as $8.9mJ/cm^2$ and $47mJ/cm^2$. However, the inactivation of B. subtilis spores didn't occured beyond 4.5-log inactivation despite increasing UV dose. The inactivation of B. subtilis spores by ozone alone and ozone/UV combined process was investigated with ozone CT (Concentration of disinfectant ${\times}$ Contact time) concept. As a result, inactivation of B. subtilis spores by ozone/UV combined process was faster than by ozone alone, and especially $CT_{lag}$ value B. subtilis spores in the presence and absence of t-BuOH, OH radical scavenger, was investigated to evaluate effects of OH radical formed during ozone/UV combined process. We found that OH radical plays important roles on inactivation of B. subtilis spores.

E. coli, S. agalactiae, S. aureus는 젖소의 유방염을 유발하는 주요 원인균들이다. 이 균들은 분변 혹은 우유에 존재하며, 감염되지 않은 다른 개체로의 감염을 유발한다. 자외선은 소독제로서 이미 산업계 및 의료계에서 쓰레기 및 물의 살균에 사용되고 있으므로, 자외선을 이용하여 젖소의 유방염 확산을 방지하는 것의 실효성을 검증하였다. 분변의 함수율은 젖소 유방염 유발균의 증식에 영향을 미치지 않았고, 144시간 이상의 장시간 생존이 가능함을 확인하였다. 자외선의 조사 시, 조사하는 동안 우분뇨 및 톱밥을 교반하는 것이 교반하지 않는 것보다 균의 증식을 억압하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 자외선의 살균력은 함수율이 낮을수록, 조사시간이 길수록, 조사거리가 짧을수록 더 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 실험을 통해 얻은 함수율, 조사시간, 조사거리, 교반 여부에 대한 결과는 환경 유래, 특히 우분뇨 유래 젖소 유방염의 감염을 예방하고자 할 때 자외선 살균기의 적용이 가능할 것이며, 현장에 적용할 살균기의 제작에 중요한 기초 자료로서 활용될 것이다.
