To obtain the experimental data for design and operation of actual filtration processes, a sand filter and three kinds of dual media filters in pilot-plant scale were operated in this study. We analyzed the effect of filter medium composition on the filter performance and the effects of backwash water flow rates, length of stream line and air flow rate on the filter backwash efficiency. We also compared the efficiencies of the combined air-water backwashing and the water backwashing in dual media filters. As the backwash water flow rates or the length of stream line increased, the final turbidity of backwash water was decreased and the filtration duration time after backwash was increased. In the case of the combined air-water backwashing, the backwash water quantity needed for backwashing the dual media filters could be decreased. The total volume of filtered water for the dual media filters during filter run was over three times larger than that for the sand filter. The dual media filters could be operated at a high filtration rate of 360 m/day.

In this study, application of groundwater thermal energy by use of riverbank filtration(RBF) system is reviewed and checked as an energy resources. Also, the cooling and heating system using RBF was developed in Chang-Won Waterwork site to examine the feasibility in real operation of the system. We estimates the roughly overall energy obtained from RBF system if the system is used in cooling and heating. The water temperature and room temperature have been monitored to evaluate the efficiency of the system and the preliminary results show that the geothermal energy obtained by RBF could be adopted in cooling and heating energy source efficiently.

Ambient air pollution, in particular, particulate matter (PM) pollution imposes serious health concerns such as hospitalization and premature deaths, worldwide. While commercial breathing masks are in use for protection against this hazardous issue, yet their efficiency in filtering PM was not up to the par, besides several other discomforts such as poor breathability due to reduced air flow, sweat production etc. In this study, commercial face mask coated with β-glucan, a high molecular weight polymer is tested for its efficacy in filtering PM. Quantification of PM before and after filtration and microscopic observation (using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)) of the fabric used in filtering the dust pollutants (generated from wood chips and cigarette) showed that β-glucan coated fabric were significantly efficient in capturing PM (size of 10 and 2.5 ㎛ in diameter) than that of the untreated control fabric, wherein the former had filtration efficacy with fold increase of 11.6 and 2.6 towards capturing PM2.5 and PM10 respectively than the latter. Thus, β-glucan coated fabric was found to be effective in filtering PM.

This work addresses the development of microfiltration ceramic membrane from alumina using extrusion method. The membranes were sintered at different temperatures ranging between 1000 and 1300℃. The alumina was characterized with thermogravimetric analysis, particle size distribution, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope analysis. Subsequently, the effect of sintering temperature on the membrane properties such as porosity, flexural strength, and pure water permeability was investigated and optimized for the sintering temperature. It is observed that with increasing sintering temperature, the porosity of the membranes decreases and the flexural strength, and pure water permeability of the membranes increase. The uncoated and coated membranes were compared at constant flux mode of filtration. Under the turbidity solution recirculation alone at 100 NTU, trans-membrane pressure (TMP) of uncoated membrane remained constant when the filtration flux was below 121 Lm^-2 h ^-1 , while the coated membrane was 111 Lm_-2 h ^-1 . Although suction pressure increased more rapidly at higher turbidity, coated membrane filtration showed better removal efficiency of the turbidity.

Ceramic filter has been demonstrated as an attractive system to improve the thermal efficiency and to reduce the effluent pollutants. Removal of particulates from the hot gas stream is very important in air pollution control. In particular, the elimination of the particulate matters discharged from a gas turbine at high temperature can prevent the corrosion inside the IGCC. In this study, a Lab. scale test and numerical simulation were carried out to comprehend the relationship between pulse jet pressure and recovery of pressure drop and to characterize the reverse cleaning flow through a ceramic fil-ter element under high temperature and high pressure. When the pulse-jet pressures were 2, 3 and 4 kg/$ extrm{cm}^2$, the cleaning effect increase of about 10~30% by recovery of pressure drop caused by pulse pressure. Cleaning effect at 45$0^{\circ}C$ was greater than that at 55$0^{\circ}C$ or 650$^{\circ}$ for the same pulse pressure. According to the result of the present simulation, high pressure has been formed in terminal and central regions in our models and temperature distribution caused by pulse air is to be uniform comparatively on inner surface of filter.

The main object of this study was to investigate experimentally the characteristics of electrostatic cyclone-bag filter with upper tangential inlet in order to overcome the low collection efficiency for the submicron particle and high pressure drop which were main problems of general fabric bag filters. The experiment was carried out for the analysis of collection efficiency and pressure drop of electrostatic cyclone-bag filter comparing to those of fabric bag filter with various experimental parameters such as the inlet velocity(filtration velocity) and applied voltage etc. In the results the upper tangential inlet type showed higher collection efficiency for submicron particles below 2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter than that of center inlet and over 99.9% for overall collection efficiency. Pressure drop reduction ratios were shown as 40-50% for the applied voltage 0kV by centrifugal force and 70-90% for 20k V by the centrifuga and electrostatic force with the tangential inlet velocity (12-21m/s)

좁쌀 약주의 가열살균에 따른 품질열화의 대안으로 비 가열공정 시스템인 미세 및 한외여과용 중공사막(hallow fiber membrane) 카트리지 (cartridge)의 도입을 통한 좁쌀 약주의 고품질화를 시도하였다. 비 가열살균 좁쌀 약주의 제조 및 저장 중 품질변화를 조사하기 위하여 0.65, 0.45, 0.2및 0.1 $\mu$m의 MF(micro-filtration) 카트리 지와 500 K의 UF(ultrafiltration) 카트리지 등 중공사막의 공극의 크기에 따른 제조공정상의 효용성을 시험하였다. 시험한 모든 막 카트리지에서 미생물 제거 능력은 확인되었으나 여과 속도 및 안전성 면에서 0.45 $\mu$m 막 카트리지가 적당한 것으로 조사되었다. 저장 중 모든 시료에서 환원당 및 색택 변화의 차이가 측정되었는데, 6개월 저장 결과 가열살균 약주가 비 가열 약주에 비하여 투명도(L 값)가 감소하고 황청도(b 값)는 크게 증가하여 색택이 어두워지는 현상이 관찰되었다. 저장 중 환원당의 감소는 색택이 진해지는 비효소적 갈변과 관련이 있는 것으로 추정되며, 다른 화학적 성분에 대한 변화는 가열 살균과 비 가열 간에 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 관능검사 결과 카트리지의 종류에 따른 좁쌀약주의 품질에 대한 차이는 인정되지 않았으나, 가열살균과 비 가열에 대한 품질은 유의적인 차이가 있었으며 비 가열처리 공정이 더 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 도시지역 강우유출수 내에 존재하는 다양한 오염물질에 대한 여과장치의 제거 효율을 평가하고 여재의 특성에 따른 설계인자를 도출하는데 있다. 비점오염물질 제어기술로서 여과 장치 내에 충전될 여재의 선정은 여과장치의 수명과 크기를 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 컬럼운전을 수행함으로써 펄라이트와 합성여재의 강우유출수 내에 존재하는 오염물질에 대한 제거능을 조사하였다. 각 여재의 양이온교환능력 (CEC) 및 제타전위 등 여재의 표면특성을 분석한 결과 펄라이트가 양 이온계 오염물질의 흡착에 있어서는 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 컬럼 운전 수행 결과 입자성 오염물질인 $TCOD_{Cr}$와 탁도는 초기 2.5분의 접촉시간만 가지고도 대부분의 제거가 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 수리학적 특성에 있어 EBCT (empty bed contact time) 2.5분의 시점에서 살펴보았을 때 폐색이 발생한 시점은 펄라이트는 630분, 합성여재에서는 810분으로 동일 조건에서 합성여재의 운전 수명이 더 긴 것으로 나타났다. 용존성 오염물질인 $SCOD_{Cr}$에 대하여서는 두 여재 모두 뚜렷한 제거 특성이 보이지 않았으며 이 결과는 흡착에 필요한 접촉시간이 확보되지 못한 것으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 여재의 표면 특성인 양이온 교환능력과 중금속 제거효율 사이의 상관관계는 찾아볼 수 없어 대부분 입자에 포획된 상태로 제거됨을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 도시지역 강우유출수 처리를 위한 여과장치 설계 및 적정 여재 선정에 있어 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Masks are a portable functional product for daily use. They can protect user health by filtering harmful fine particles in the air. In the past decade, there have been approximately 10 yellow dust incidences per year, amounting to a total duration of 20 days, and they continue to increase year after year. In addition, the frequency of yellow dust incidences in Korea has increased by more than four times compared to levels from the 1970s. Statistical reports indicate that annual damages caused by yellow dust amount to more than six trillion KRW. This study developed a zero-fog multi-layer mask with a collection efficiency and yellow dust and particulate matter filtration areas that are at least thrice as effective as existing masks. The new mask also reduces pressure drag by half.
