This study aimed for evaluating the applicability of the two stage dual media filtration system in field water treatment plant. The field plant of two stage and dual media filtration system was operated for 2 months. Average iron concentrations of the settled water, existing filtered water and second stage filtered water was 0.041 mg/L, 0.007 mg/L and 0.005 mg/L, respectively. Removal efficiency of iron concentration in the second stage is appropriately 35% more than in existing filtered water. Also removal efficiency of residual chlorine in the dual media filtration system is relatively 42.3% more than in existing filtered water due to adsorption of activated carbon, but the removal of ammonia nitrogen by adsorption is insufficient. Average concentrations of THM and chloroform in the settled water are 0.033 mg/L, 0.026 mg/L, respectively and in existing filtered water are 0.023 mg/L and 0.023 mg/L. Average concentrations of THM and chloroform in the dual media filtration system are 0.008 mg/L and 0.013 mg/L. Therefore removal efficiency of THM concentration in second stage is more than 66.4% in existing filtrated water. Also removal efficiency of chloroform in the dual media filtration system is more than 50.0% in existing filtered water because of the adsorption of activated carbon. In this case backwashing period in dual stage system is 4~5 days, but in existing filtration system is 1~2 days.

This study investigated the determinants of Tap Water consumption patterns. Socio-demographic variables(gender, family income, education level, residual area) and consumer attitude knowledge(confidence, knowledge, problem experience, risk perception and aesthetic satisfaction)were included in the analysis. Three hundred fifty-nine teachers were participated in this study. ANOVA(Scheffe test), t-test, regression and logistic regression were conducted. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Tap water was consumed by only 1.7%, boiled water prior to drinking by 37.9%, water filtered by 39.8% and bottled water by 19.0%. 2. Consumer attitude knowledge was affected by socio-demographic variables. That is, aesthetic satisfaction was affected by age, risk perception by gender and educational level, confidence by educational level, knowledge by gender and age, and problem experience by age. 3. Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, confidence and aesthetic satisfaction were the determinants of bottled water or filtered water choice. However, risk perception was not a significant determinant. This suggests alternatives to tap water is related to non-risk, or non-safety factors.

Present investigation was conducted to determine the post-thaw sperm motility and acrosomal damage of filtered and non-filtered frozen semen of Murrah buffalo bulls. Twenty semen ejaculates (from four Murrah buffalo bulls collected at weekly interval) were diluted in Tris egg yolk glycerol extender and divided into two parts. One was filtered through sephadex G-100 column and the other portion was kept as such (non-filtered). Both fractions were frozen in liquid nitrogen ($-196^{\circ}C$) by the standard method developed in the laboratory. After 24 h of freezing, non-filtered and filtered semen samples were thawed at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 min. These samples were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ in a water both. The different seminal characteristics i.e. percent progressive sperm motility, live and abnormal spermatozoa and spermatozoa with damaged acrosome were assessed at hourly interval till they remained motile. The filtered frozen and thawed semen showed significantly (p<0.05) high sperm viability and acrosomal integrity as compared to non-filtered semen.

Grager-Induced colony formation was examined using strains of green alga Scenedemus dimorphus (Turpin) Kutzing. Alga was cultured in a medium with or without filtered water in which Daphnia magna or Moina macrocopa had been reared. Colony formation was obviously promoted in S. dimorphus by exposure to zooplankton filtered water (ZFW), showing in proportion to the volume of zooplankton filtered water in cultured media. The particle volume as well as the number of cells per one colony of S. dimorphus increased between 24 and 48 hours after exposure to ZFW, which were caused by an infochemical released from from Daphnia or Moina probably as a part of defense mechanism against zooplankton grazing.

It is well known that manganese is hard to oxidize under neutral pH condition in the atmosphere while iron can be easily oxidized to insoluble iron oxide. The purpose of this study is to identify removal mechanism of manganese in the D water treatment plant where is treating bank filtered water in aeration and rapid sand filtration. Average concentration of iron and manganese in bank filtered water were 5.9 mg/L and 3.6 mg/L in 2008, respectively. However, their concentration in rapid sand filtrate were only 0.11 mg/L and 0.03 mg/L, respectively. Most of the sand was coated with black colored manganese oxide except surface layer. According to EDX analysis of sand which was collected in different depth of sand filter, the content of i ron in the upper part sand was relatively higher than that in the lower part. while manganese content increased with a depth. The presence of iron and manganese oxidizing bacteria have been identified in sand of rapid sand filtration. It is supposed that these bacteria contributed some to remove iron and manganese in rapid sand filter. In conclusion, manganese has been simultaneously removed by physicochemical reaction and biological reaction. However, it is considered that the former reaction is dominant than the latter. That is, Mn(II) ion is rapidly adsorbed on ${\gamma}$-FeOOH which is intermediate iron oxidant and then adsorbed Mn(II) ion is oxidized to insoluble manganese oxide. In addition, manganese oxidation is accelerated by autocatalytic reaction of manganese oxide. The iron and manganese oxides deposited on the surface of the sand and then are aged with coating sand surface.

수돗물내의 불쾌한 이취미는 수도사업자에게 여러 가지 문제를 일으킨다. 비록 이취미는 건강상에 유해하지는 않지만 소비자들에게 수돗물의 안정성을 의심하게 되는 주된 요인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 원수와 급속 모래여과 처리수에 함유된 geosmin에 대한 오존과 오존/과산화수소 공정에서 접촉시간별 제거경향을 조사한 결과, 오존 단독공정에 비하여 오존과 과산화수소 혼합공정이 오존 단독공정 보다 접촉시간별로 geosmin 제거율이 월등히 증가하였다. 오존과 과산화수소 투입농도에 따른 여과수 중의 geosmin과 2-MIB의 제거특성 평가에서 2-MIB 보다 geosmin이 오존 및 오존/과산화수소 공정에서 제거가 용이한 것으로 나타났다. 원수 및 여과수에 함유된 geosmin과 여과수에 함유된 2-MIB에 대해 오존 주입농도 $0.5\sim2.0$ mg/L 범위에서 오존과 과산화수소 주입비율 $(H_2O_2/O_3)$에 따른 각각의 반응 속도상수 k의 변화를 조사한 결과, 오존 및 오존과 과산화수소의 주입비율이 증가할수록 반응 속도상수 k가 급격히 증가하였으며 오존과 과산화수소의 주입비율이 어느 한계 이상에 도달하면 반응 속도상수 k는 더 이상 증가하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 오존 주입농도 $0.5\sim2.0$ mg/L 범위에서 오존 대비 과산화수소의 적정 주입비율($(H_2O_2/O_3)$ $1\sim2$ 사이인 것으로 나타났다. 급속 모래여과 처리수에서 보다는 오존과 OH 라디칼 소비물질이 많이 존재하는 원수에서의 반응속도 상수가 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 호존 주입농도별로 과산화수소 주입농도에 대한 급속 모래여과 처리수중의 geosmin이 제거되는 반감기를 조사한 결과, 오존과 과산화수소 주입농도가 증가할수록 geosmin의 반감기는 급격히 줄어들었으며, 오존만 2 mg/L 주입하여 geosmin을 산화시킨 경우보다 오존 2 mg/L와 과산화수소 10 mg/L를 함께 주입한 경우 반감기가 38.9분에서 4.6분으로 8.5배 정도 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.

To understand the mechanism of phytoplankton succession in the Nakdong River, the resource availability (silica) and grazing effect on the phytoplankton community were investigated in an enclosure experiment at Mulgum in March 1995. In all enclosures, Stephanodiscus hantzchii was dominant during the first week. Two weeks later, the diatom community in the A (river water only) and B (filtered river water) enclosures was shifted to colonial green algae (Actinastrum sp., Pediastrum spp. and Scenedesmus spp.) and nanoplankton (2~3 ${\mu}$m of diameter) due to the silica depletion. In the C (silica addition in river water, 3 mg 1$^{-1}$ week$^{-1}$) and D (silica addition in filtered water) enclosures, Fragilaria crotonensis and Synedra acus increased as the silica addition was continued. The percentage of small phytoplankton (size, 10~13 ${\mu}$m) in the filtered enclosures (B and D) was much higher than that of A and C enclosures. A laboratory bottle experiment conducted in the fall of 1994 also showed similar results. Therefore, it is concluded that silica and zooplankton are important regulators in phytoplankton succession during the diatom blooming season in the Nakdong River.

낙동강 원수와 급속 사여과 처리수중에 함유된 인공 사향물질(Synthetic Musk Compounds, SMCs) 3종에 대해 오존처리 공정에서의 제거특성을 살펴본 결과, Musk Ketone (MK)이 AHTN (7-acetyl-1,1,3,4,4,6-hexamethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene)과 HHCB (1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta[c]-2-benzopyran)에 비해 오존처리에 의한 제거율이 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 동일한 운전조건에서 원수에 함유된 SMCs의 제거율은 원수 중에 함유된 오존 소모물질들에 의한 영향으로 급속 사여과처리수에 함유된 경우보다 제거율이 훨씬 낮았다. 오존 투입농도 0.5~10.0 mg/L에서 낙동강 원수와 급속 사여과 처리수 중에 함유된 3종의 SMCs에 대한 제거 속도상수(k)는 오존 투입농도가 증가할수록 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 반감기 역시 오존 투입농도 증가에 비례하여 급격히 감소하였다. 전/후오존 공정이 갖추어진 낙동강 하류에 위치한 정수장들의 경우, 전오존 공정은 최대 1.5~2.0 mg/L의 오존 투입농도로 2~4분 및 후오존 공정은 최대 2.0~2.5 mg/L의 오존 투입농도로 6~8분 정도의 체류시간을 가지도록 설계되어져 있어 비교적 고농도의 SMCs가 유입될 경우에는 오존처리만으로는 이들 물질들에 대한 제어가 어려운 것으로 나타났다.

This study aimed to investigate the biofilm formation, bacterial regrowth, and bacterial community structure in the granular-activated carbon (GAC) filter adsorbers (FAs) used in water treatment plants. In 2005 and 2006, raw water, settled water, GAC FA by depth, and filtered water were collected twice a year from water treatment plants (WTPs) B and S. The number of heterotrophic bacteria, including mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria, in such collected waters was investigated along with the total number of coliforms therein. Heterotrophic bacteria were detected in most samples, mainly at the surface layers of the GAC FAs, and fewer such bacteria were found in the lower and bottom layers. An increase in the bacterial number, however, was observed in the samples from various depths of the GAC FAs in WTPs B and S compared with the surface layers. An increase in the bacterial number was also detected in the filtered water. This may indicate that there is a regrowth of the bacteria in the GAC FA. Considering, however, that heterotrophic bacteria were not found in the filtered water, it can be deduced that most bacteria are removed in the chlorination process. Coliforms were detected at the surface layer of the GAC FAs, but their regrowth was not observed. MicroLog systems were used to identify the bacteria community distribution. Eight genera and 14 species, including Pseudomonas spp., were detected in WTP B, and 8 genera and 9 species, including Aeromonas spp., in WTP S. Further studies are required to elucidate their role in the biofilms in water treatment processes.

This study investigated the thermal hydraulic issues in the Containment Filtered Venting System (CFVS) for a long operating time using the MELCOR computer code. The modeling of the CFVS, including the models for pool scrubbing and the filter, was added to the input file for the OPR-1000, and a Station Blackout (SBO) was chosen as an accident scenario. Although depressurization in the containment building as a primary objective of the CFVS was successful, the decontamination feature by scrubbing and filtering in the CFVS for a long operating time could fail by the continuous evaporation of the scrubbing solution. After the operation of the CFVS, the atmosphere temperature in the CFVS became slightly above the water saturation temperature owing to the release of an amount of steam with high temperature from the containment building to the scrubbing solution. Reduced pipe diameters at the inlet and outlet of the CFVS vessel mitigated the evaporation of scrubbing water by controlling the amount of high-temperature steam and the water saturation temperature.
