This paper dealt with the disinfection performance by Ultra-Violet Light Emitting Diode (UV LED) for a phytoplankton as a basic study for the development of a low-energy consumption ballast water treatment system. UV LEDs having peak wavelength of 255nm, 265nm and 280nm were used in the experiment. UV LED modules with driving circuit were fabricated, and optical and electrical characteristics of them were analyzed. The disinfection performance for phytoplankton depending on the UV wavelength was evaluated by comparing the number of phytoplankton before and after the UV treatments. The experimental result showed that the highest disinfection wavelength for the phytoplankton was 265nm.

This study has carried out a performance of dimensionally stable anode for the purpose of disinfection of Legionella pneumophila in water. Three kinds of electrode were prepared by plating and thermal deposition, which were coated by the oxides of Pt, Ru and Ir on Ti metal surface, respectively. The order of disinfection performance for Legionella pneumophila was Ru/Ti > Ir/Ti > Pt/Ti. Free Cl and $ClO_2$ generation of Ir/Ti electrode was higher than that of two electrodes. However, the concentrations of generated $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ of the Ru/Ti electrode were highest among the three electrodes. The higher NaCl concentration was, the more oxidants was generated and disinfection effect was increased. However, optimum NaCl dosage was 0.0125% due to the regulation on the conductivity and $Cl^-$ concentration for the cooling water quality of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. With the increase of current, oxidants was more generated and following disinfection effect was increased. The increase of electrode distance reduced oxidants generation due to the low electric power, and their disinfection effect was decreased accordingly.

Disinfection performance in clearwell is generally measured by CT, which is expressed by $C{\times}T$. C is represented by disinfection concentration, and T is represented by $T_{10}$ which means 90% contact time in clearwell. In order to improve Disinfection performance, augmentation of $T_{10}$ is required. Guide wall has been generally used to improve $T_{10}$ because $T_{10}$ changes according to flow field. In this study, porous media is proposed instead of guide wall, and disinfection performance between guide wall and porous media wall are compared. Flow field and $T_{10}$ in each clearwell are investigated as well. Improved Disinfection performance appear in case of porous media wall compare to guide wall, and best performance occur in porosity factor ${\beta}$ 1e+4.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, issues related to quarantine are emerging. There are various infection prevention methods, but among them, it is certain to frequently disinfect the surface or the entire space of an object that has come into contact with the virus. However, the reality is that the number of times such disinfection is legally designated and the required number of personnel are very different depending on the building and facility. For this reason, there are no companies and systems that can professionally receive orders for disinfection work. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, this paper presents a method to design a disinfection service platform based on the MVC pattern, and implements the required functions based on this. Through this, it is possible to build a more systematic system, and it is hoped that it will be of great help to quarantine with an orderly process for disinfection work.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the status of disinfection and sterilization in healthcare facilities. Method: A survey of 193 Korean healthcare facilities was conducted from February 8 to March 7, 2013. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ${\chi}^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe with SPSS WIN 18.0. Results: Of the healthcare facilities 93.2% had specific guidelines for disinfection/sterilization, but only 47.9% had a committee on disinfection/sterilization for decision-making, less than half (42.7%) conducted regular monitoring of actual practices, while 83.9% had established procedures for recovery in case of problems with the disinfection process and 89.0% kept records and archives of disinfection practices. Cleaning process, selection of chemical disinfectants and process of disinfection and sterilization were found to be inadequate in some healthcare facilities. Perception score for adequacy of medical instruments was 8.10, environmental disinfection was 7.20, and sterilizer management was 8.45 out of a possible 10. Conclusion: Compared to larger institutions, smaller healthcare facilities had less effective disinfection and sterilization management systems, while some facilities showed inadequate practices for medical equipment and general sterilization. Better academic and state-level support is recommended for smaller facilities in order to establish a better system-wide management system.

상수도 소독공정에서 사용되고 있는 차아염소산나트륨은 일반적으로 유효염소 0.8 %로 생산되어 투입되고 있으며, 투입량이 많아질수록 소독부산물(Chlorate)이 증가되었고 수질기준을 초과하게 된다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 유효염소를 12%로 높인 차아염소산나트륨 발생장치의 전해조에 대해 소독부산물을 제어할 수 있도록 양극수 pH를 조절하였다. 실험결과 전해조 내 양극수 pH를 4.2(일반적인 차아염발생장치 운전 pH)에서 1.53으로 조절함으로서 Chlorate 농도는 95% 이상 낮아진 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 낮은 전류가 인가됨에 따라 양극의 효율도 15% 개선되는 결과를 얻었다. 이 장치의 개발로 대용량 상수도에서도 안전한 차아염소산나트륨의 적용이 가능하여 소독공정의 안전성 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Disinfection of a waterborne pathogenic protozoa, Giardia lamblia, by the conventional chlorine method has been known to be difficult. An alternative disinfection has been carried out by using a UV -light illuminating optical­fiber photoreactor. Light intensity diffused from one piece of a clad-removed optical-fiber was $1- 1.5{\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$. Disinfection capability in a UV -light irradiated optical-fiber reactor suspended with 0.01 g $TiO_{2}\;dm^{-3}$ was 1.4 times that in the same reactor without $TiO_{2}$ photocatalysts. To resolve the absorption and scattering of UV light by the particles themselves as well as the difficulty of recycling particles in the slurry­type reactor, $TiO_{2}$ which was obtained by a hydrothermal method, was immobilized on clad-removed optical fibers. Such pretreatment of fiber surface resulted in an excellent transparency, which enhanced the UV light to diffuse laterally from a fiber surface. Coating time of the prepared solution by the hydrothermal method was not effective after more than two times. Disinfection capability in the $TiO_{2}$-immobilized optical-fiber reactor was $83\%$ in 1 h at $40^{\circ}C$, which was slightly higher than $76\%$ at $22^{\circ}C$ and $68\%$ at $10^{\circ}C$. Disinfection capability at $22^{\circ}C$ increased from $74\%$ at an initial pH of 3.4, through $76\%$ at pH 6.5, to $87\%$ at an initial pH of 10. Oxygen supply with air-flow rate of 5 $cm^3\;min^{-1}$ did not seem to increase the disinfection capability with UV /immobilized $TiO_2$.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of paracetic acid (PAA) and ozone disinfection on the tensile bond strength (TBS) of silicone-based resilient liners to acrylic resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred and twenty dumbbell shaped heat-polymerized acrylic resins were prepared. From the mid segment of the specimens, 3 mm of acrylic were grinded off and separated parts were reattached by resilient liners. The specimens were divided into 2 control (control1, control7) and 4 test groups of PAA and ozone disinfection (PAA1, PAA7, ozone1 and ozone7; n=10). While control groups were immersed in distilled water for 10 min (control1) and 7 days (control7), test groups were subjected to PAA (16 g/L) or ozone rich water (4 mg/L) for 1 cycle (10 min for PAA and 60 min for ozone) per day for 7 days prior to tensile tests. Measurements of the TBS were analyzed using 3-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test. RESULTS. Adhesive strength of Mollosil decreased significantly by application of ozone disinfection. PAA disinfection had no negative effect on the TBS values of Mollosil and Molloplast B to acrylic resin. Single application of ozone disinfection did not have any negative effect on TBS values of Molloplast B, but prolonged exposure to ozone decreased its adhesive strength. CONCLUSION. The adhesion of resilient liners to acrylic was not adversely affected by PAA disinfection. Immersion in ozonated water significantly decreased TBS of Mollosil. Prolonged exposure to ozone negatively affects adhesion of Molloplast B to denture base materials.
