The continuous industrial growth increases the volume of pollutants discharged into the water, which induces Cyanobacteria in the receiving bodies. The removal of various cyanobacteria such as Microcystis, Anabaena, and Oscillatoria was explored to analyze their removal characteristics using different chemical and mineral coagulants. The chemical coagulants, including poly aluminium chloride (PACl), Alum, and mineral coagulants such as Loess and Illite, were tested to remove selected cyanobacteria. Results indicated that the removal rate increased with coagulant dosage regardless of the type of coagulant. The removal of selected cyanobacteria using chemical coagulant was found in the order: Microcystis > Anabaena > Oscillatoria. The PACl coagulant showed the most efficient removal rate for Microcystis, Anabaena, Oscillatoria. Removal rate of Microcystis conducted by PACl showed 92% at 100,000 cells/mL and 98.4% at 1,000,000 cells/mL whereas Illite showed lower 70% and Loess showed lower 50% in both 100,000 cells/mL and 1,000,000 cells/mL. The removal rate of Anabaena and Oscillatoria by PACl and Alum was higher 80%, while the other coagulants exhibited lower than 75% at 1,000,000 cells/mL. The removal rate of Oscillatoria by PACl was 80.1%, while the other coagulants exhibited lower than 70% at 1,000,000 cells/mL. Moreover, the mineral coagulants showed better removal efficiency at a higher concentration than low concentration during experiments. Therefore, removing cyanobacteria from water streams can be improved through coagulation by selecting a specific coagulant for a particular type of algae.

전해질 농도가 낮은 병원폐수를 전기화학적으로 처리할 경우 무기응집제 주입 효과에 대해 고찰한 결과, 무기응집제 주입으로 전해질 농도가 높아져 병원폐수 내 유리염소의 농도의 증가로 유기물질의 간접산화효과가 증가하여 전류밀도 $1.76A/dm^2$, 반응시간 120분에서 무기응집제를 주입하지 않은 경우보다 COD 제거효율이 약 2배 향상되었다. 또한, 무기응집제에 의한 전해질의 증가로 HOCl과 같은 유리 잔류염소의 증가로 병원폐수 내의 클로라민이 질소로 전환되는 속도가 증가함에 따라 전류밀도 $1.76A/dm^2$, 반응시간 120분 및 응집제 주입량 700 ppm에서 T-N 제거율을 약 2배 향상시킬 수 있었다. 동일 조건에서 90% 이상의 높은 T-P 제거율을 얻을 수 있었는데, 이는 무기응집제에 의한 전해질의 증가로 양전극에서의 발생되는 용존산소에 의해 생성된 불용성 금속 화합물과 인산염의 화학적 흡착반응 속도가 증가하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 실험에서 전해질이 부족한 병원폐수의 전기화학적 처리시 무기응집제를 전해질로 첨가할 경우 유기물질 및 영양염 제거에 모두 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

The effects of temperature, coagulants and pre-chlorination on the removal of turbidity and pathogenic protozoa by coagulation process were investigated using jar test of lab scale. In room temperature ($25^{\circ}C$), protozoa were removed over 1.0log at the proper concentration range of coagulants, and up to over 2log at the optimal concentration of coagulants. Considering the 1.5log target removal for Giardiain the processes of coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration, this results implies that the target could be satisfied. However, the removal of protozoa and turbidity was reduced, and optimal PAC concentration was narrowed in low turbidity and cold temperature ($5^{\circ}C$). These results suggest that the drop of coagulation efficiency may be occurred in winter if the conditions are not optimized. Despite the effect of water temperature, the relation of turbidity and protozoa removal appeared to be good. The various kinds of coagulants did not significantly affected for removals of turbidity and protozoa when the concentrations of $Al_2O_3$ were considered. Prechlorination did not increase or decrease the removal of turbidity and protozoa in optimum condition at room temperature, pH 7, 15mg/L of PAC concentration.

The objectives of this research are to investigate coagulation efficiencies of two coagulants l.e., alum and polyaluminum chloride and to understand effects of the coagulants on membrane fouling in microfiltration. The turbidity of supernatant from alum coagulation was increased with increasing doses whereas the turbidity from PACl coagulation was maintained at the low values. The observed injection volume of PACl for the same removal was approximately 30 percent less than alum, which produced a low sludge volume. The settling velocity of PACl flocs was greater than alum flocs. The results corresponded well with floc size measurements. Flux decline from alum coagulation was significant due in part to small sizes of flocs. At the low dose, alum floc had less specific cake resistance than PACl floc. However, as the dosage was increased, the increases in specific cake resistances of alum was substantial. Alum coagulation pretreatment needs careful operation to reduce membrane fouling by flocs. In general, PACl coagulants were more effective than alum coagulants for pretreatment of membrane processes because PACl showed the better performance in coagulation and membrane fouling.

Some quality characteristics of tofu prepared with soyprotein isolate (SPI) were investigated to study the effects of various ratio of coagulants mixture and addition of oil, sucrose and dextrin. The tofu was prepared by addition of coagulants into the boiled SPI suspension and compression. The results showed that the mixed coagulants of CaCl $_2$-GDL(50 :50) and CaSO$_4$-GDL(25 :75) resulted the highest volume yield of 4.23g/g SPI among the various ratios of CaCl$_2$-CaSO$_4$, CaCl$_2$-GDL and CaSO$_4$-GDL. The water holding capacity(WHC) expressed as the area of water absorbed on filter paper was relatively high for those tofu coagulation with CaCl$_2$-GDL(75 : 25) and CaSO$_4$ -GDL(75 : 25). Addition of sucrose or oil-sucrose (1 : 1) decreased the yield wihle WHC was improved. Their addition also caused less hard and cohesive tofu which was coagulated by CaCl$_2$-GDL(75 : 25) and CaSO$_4$-GDL(75 : 25).

Natural organic matters(NOMs) are found everywhere such as soil, surface and ground waters and consist of both humic and nonhumic components, and their heterogeneith makes each source unique. This study was carried to evaluate the removal characteristics of NOMs by mixing coagulants and the variation of apparent molecular weight distribution(AMWD) in coagulation process. Ratio of optimum coagulants dosage for removal of DOC and turbidity by mixing coagulants was 1.83 mM F $e^{3+}$/mM $Al^{3+}$. DOC removal increased at lower pH. The pH6 control focused on the removal of organic matters could reduce the amount of coagulant consumption by 2 to 3 times based on the pH8.5 of natural water. The dissolved organic matters in the natural water from the mid-stream of Han River were composed of the low molecular weight(LMW,<1 K) of 59.7%, and the medium and high molecular weight(M.HMW, 1~30 K) of 40.3%, respectively. At pH6, the DOC removal efficiencies of LMW(<1 K) and M.HMW(1~30 K) in coagulation process were 27~35%, 62~72%, respectively. The fraction smaller than 1 K was not eliminated to a noticeable degree, while the fraction of 1~30 K was relatively well removed. In conclustion, mixing coagulants were fairly effective in the removal of natural organic matter.r.

Cellulose(cell)/dimethylacetamide(DMAc)/lithium chloride(LiCl) solutions were prepared and spun to fibers in coagulants. Then, obtained fibers were annealed in appropriate chemicals. The fibers from cell/DMAc/LiCl showed cell III morophology prior to annealing without differenciating the kind of coagulants. Morphology of crystallite, however, was affected by annealing. Annealed fibers at 17$0^{\circ}C$ showed cell IV morphology and had better mechanical properties than others.

Cell recovery from high cell density broths of Alcaligenes eutrophus by pretreatment with aluminum-based coagulants such as aluminum sulfate, polyaluminum hydrooxide chloride silicate (PACS), and polyaluminum hydrooxide chloride (Hi-PAX) was carried out. Cells coagulated with coagulants could be successfully recovered above 95-99% by centrifugation or filtration. The optimum initial pH of fermentation broths for cell recovery was in the range of 10 to 12. Optimum coagulants dosage for cell recovery increased with increasing of cell concentrations (21-160 g/L). The optimum coagulant dosages to recover cells with more than 95% cell recovery by centrifugation for the cell concentrations ranged 21-160 g/L were as follows: aluminum sulfate, 416-1708 mg Al/L; PACS, 211-826 mg Al/L; Hi-PAX, 320-960 mg Al/L. At optimum conditions for the coagulation of cells, centrifugal forces for 95% of cell recovery were dependent on the cell concentration. The centrifugal forces at 82 g/L and 160 g/L of cell concentration were only 45${\times}$g and 1600${\times}$g, respectively.

To prepare soybean curds, the concentration of $CaCl_2,\;MgCl_2,\;CaSO_4$ and glucono-%{\delta}$-lactone fresh solution as coagulants were determined by transmittance of whey using spectrophotometer. The concentrations of four coagulants at which the transmittance had the highest value were chosen. Moisture content, yield and protein recovery of soybean curds prepared with four coagulants were investigated. The textural properties were examined by Instron Universal Testing Machine, and sensory evaluation was carried out. The microstructure of soybean curds was examined by SEM. Soybean curds obtained with $CaCl_2\;and\;MgCl_2$ were hard and coarse, and had roasted nutty taste, whereas those with $CaSO_4$ and GDL revealed very smooth, soft and uniform. Soybean curd prepared with GDL had the lowest acceptability because of sour taste. The texture and acceptability of soybean curds were influenced by the type of coagulant.

본 연구에서는 하수 내 인 제거 시 티타늄계열 응집제의 인 제거특성을 알아보기 위해 알루미늄계열 응집제와 비교하였다. Jar-tester를 이용하여 다양한 OH/Ti 몰비(B값)의 응집제를 투여하여 실험을 진행하였다. 초기 인 농도가 증가할수록 처리 후 $PO_4-P$ 농도가 0.2 mg P/L 이하에 도달하기 위한 [Ti]/[P]는 감소하였다. T-P 제거효율은 응집제 주입량이 증가할수록 높아졌지만, 최고 제거효율에 도달한 후에는 B값에 관계없이 감소하였다. 반면에 $PO_4-P$ 제거율은 최고점에 도달한 후 B값에 상관없이 일정하게 유지하는 경향이 나타났다. 동일한 인 제거효율에서 Ti계열 응집제의 주입량은 Al계열 응집제보다 약 2배정도 높았다. 또한, Ti계열 응집제의 B값에 따라 인제거효율에 영향을 미쳤다.
