Transmission of tuberculosis (TB) is a recognized risk to patients and healthcare workers in healthcare settings. The literature review suggests that implementation of combination control measures reduces the risk of TB transmission. Guidelines suggest a three-level hierarchy of controls including administrative, environmental, and respiratory protection. Among environmental controls, installation of ventilation systems is a priority because ventilation reduces the number of infectious particles in the air. Natural ventilation is cost-effective but depends on climatic conditions. Supplemented intervention such as air-cleaning methods including high efficiency particulate air filtration and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation should be considered in areas where adequate ventilation is difficult to achieve. Personal protective equipment including particulate respirators provides additional benefit when administrative and environmental controls cannot assure protection.

Modern people spend most of their daily lives in their homes, schools, or workplaces, hospitals, shopping malls, subway stations, rooms, and parking lots. According to the survey, air quality management at the multi-use facility is less than 50% satisfied. In this study, a photocatalytic filtration system is developed by utilizing a broadband-to-active photocatalyst that utilizes a media photocatalyst filter that removes airborne germs from indoor air as well as indoor air quality and operates on visible light as well as ultraviolet light.

The particle filtration mechanisms in an infiltration trench should be varying due to the different hydraulic conditions during stormwater runoff. The understanding of these variations associated with different filtration mechanisms and their effect on the particle removal efficiency is of vital importance. Therefore, a LID (Low Impact Development) system comprising of an infiltration trench packed with gravel and woodchip was investigated during the monitoring of several independent rainfall events. A typical rainfall event was divided into separate regimes and their corresponding flow conditions as well as filtration mechanisms in the trench were analyzed. According to hydraulic conditions, it was found out that filtration changes between vertical and horizontal flows as well as between unsaturated, saturated, and partially-saturated flows. Particle separation efficiency was high (55-76%) and was mainly governed by physical straining during the unsaturated period. It was then enhanced by diffusion during the saturated period (75-95%). When the trench became partially saturated at the end of the rainfall event, the efficiency decreased which was believed to be due to the existence of a negatively charged air-water interface which limited the removal to positively charged particles.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the structure of general filter using ultrafine filter (Profilter), dust collector filter, HEPA (HAPA-High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, deodorized filters, etc. of air purifiers and to study new types of purified filters that can improve ultrafine dust, harmful gases, and sterilization cleanup performance. The study was also conducted by adding photocatalyst filters to the existing step-by-step filtration filter types, which were proposed in the design three coupling structure filters of the left and right UV-LED installation frames and the photocatalyst coating honeycomb frame. Future research is needed on the effect of photocatalyst filters. This study was to investigate the application and structure of photocatalyst filters to air purifiers.

This study was performed to evaluate the air lift reactors (ALR) by variations of HRT and recycling rate. Air lift reactor was composed of bioreactor and clarifier above it. To remove organic matters and nitrogen through the formation of microbic film and filtration, bio-filter reactors were filled with clay, glass, bead, waste plastic, respectively. Influent wastewater was fed to biofilter reactor, and effluent wastewater from bio-filter reactor was injected ALR again, instead of adding external carbon source. Effluent BOD concentration was satisfied with lower than 10 mg/L in recycling rate 100% regardless of the variation of HRT and the kinds of media materials. In HRT 4 hr, recycling rate 100%, BOD removal efficiency rate was from about 85 to 90%, COD removal efficiency rate was higher than 90%. Effluent TN concentration was satisfied with less than 20 mg/L, if HRT was maintained by over than 6 hr regardless of recycling rate and media materials. Over than HRT was 4 hr, microbes concentration in air lift reactor was maintained over than 2,500 mg/L constantly, not sensitive to environmental condition, and organic removal was effective as it was higher.

여과집진장치는 기존의 집진장치 중에서 집진효율이 가장 우수하나, 여과집진에서 필연적으로 발생하는 높은 압력손실과 탈진에 따른 여과포의 마모, 그리고 고온조건에서의 성능저하 등은 여과집진장치의 광범위한 적용을 저해하는 요인으로 작용해왔다. 탈진에 따른 여과포의 손상을 막고, 먼지입자의 표면여과를 극대화시키는 방법으로 기존의 여과포에 박막을 입히는 방법이 많은 연구자들에 의해 개발되어 왔다.(중략)

고온 집진을 위한 세라믹 필터의 개발은 1980년대 이후 유럽을 중심으로 활발한 연구가 수행되고 있으며 기존 대기오염 방지 시설로는 처리가 불가능한 고온 공정에 상용화 되어 있고 국내에도 비철금속, 탄화공정, 유리 용해로 등의 공정에 세라믹 필터을 이용한 고온 집진 공정이 설치되어있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발한 저밀도 세라믹 필터를 이용해 300~$600^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 장시간 실험을 수행 하였으며 장기 집진시 차압과 효율 그리고 세라믹 필터의 특성 변화를 관찰하였다.(중략)

디젤 엔진에서 발생되는 입자는 대기 오염의 주 오염원이 되고 있다. 따라서 이를 감소시키기 위해 필터(Diesel Particulate Filter :DPF)를 이용한 다양한 후처리 시스템이 개발되고 있다. DPF 시스템에서 가장 많이 사용하는 필터는 cordierite로 구성된 벌집 모양의 세라믹 필터이다. 그러나 이러한 타입의 필터는 여과시 압력강하가 높을 뿐 아니라 재생을 위한 고온 상태에서 낮은 열전도율로 crack이 일어나거나 melting이 있어 필터 자체의 파손의 위험이 있다. (중략)
