The aim of the study was to optimize harvesting method for concentrating microalgae from microalgae mass culture. It is well known that the mass density of microalgae is usually very low and these are small size (5-20 ${\mu}m$) in the culture medium. It is essential that microalgae is harvested and concentrated economically for economical biodiesel production from microalgae. In this study, to determine optimized conditions for microalgae harvesting by chemical flocculation. Flocculation of three algae, Chlorella ellipsoidea, Dunaliella bardawil, and Dunaliella tertiolecta, was performed using various chemical flocculants, such as inorganic flocculants (aluminium sulfate, aluminium potassium sulfate, ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, ferric chloride, calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium nitrite, and sodium aluminate), organic flocculant (polyacrylamide), and biopolymer flocculants (chitosan and starch). The results indicated that aluminium based inorganic flocculants is suitable for microalgae harvesting such as Chlorella ellipsoidea, Dunaliella bardawil, and Dunaliella tertiolecta. The results also recommended that flocculant doses, agitation speed, agitation time, sedimentation time for economical microalgae harvesting method using chemical flocculants.

It needs several large reservoirs and long time to remove suspended solid like steel fines and iron oxide in hot rolling coolant. If removing rate of suspended solid in rolling coolant is improved by using high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) system, the productivity of working process can be increased and the area of reservoir can be reduced. Pre-treatment process that react magnetic floc with inorganic and organic flocculant in coolant was studied. Horizontal type superconducting HGMS system was manufactured successfully, which was constituted with automatic filter transportation apparatus, 6 T He-free superconducting magnet system and water circulation system. The solid suspension removal ratio in hot rolling coolant was increased by flocculation with inorganic and organic flocculant.

Laboratory-scale membrane bioreactor added alum into the anaerobic basin as a flocculant and adsorbent was carried out to find removal efficient of nitrogen and phosphorus components in the mixed liquid and weather or not maintaining the stability for the permeate flux and pressure at various internal recycle conditions. It was found that denitrification efficient of maximum 65% was obtained when the ratio of internal recycle was 3Q. Additionally when the ratio of internal recycle was fixed at 3Q, $BOD_5$ and T-P concentration of permeate was much more reduced compared to not added alum in anaerobic basin but T-N concentration of permeate was relatively increased. In case of added alum as the flocculant and adsorbent in anaerobic basin, the permeate flux was maintained above $10{\ell}/m^2/hr$ but the permeate pressure was relatively higher than alum was not added in anaerobic basin.

Two-stage membrane bioreactor using submerged hollow fiber membrane was applied in laboratory scale to treat nitrogen and phosphorus of domestic wastewater. Alum as the flocculant and adsorbent was added into the anaerobic basin of two-stage membrane bioreactor and mixed liquid of aerabic basin was recycled to the anaerobic basin for the purpose of nitrogen removal. Experiment was carried out to find removal efficient of phosphorous and nitrogen components in the mixed liquid, and the stability of the permeate flux and pressure of two-stage membrane bioreactor. In case of alum was added as the flocculant and adsorbent into the anaerobic basin, soluble phosphorus removal efficient was relatively higher and total permeate resistance(Rtot) was more increased out nitrogen removal efficient was lower as the result of lack of alkalinity and insufficient nitrification process than the case of alum was not added.

The effects of activated carbon originated Ballasted Flocculant (BF) on the settleability of activated sludge and the recovery of BF by Hydro-cyclone (HC) were analyzed experimentally. Two kinds of BF (M-I: 125-250 ㎛, M-II: 250-425 ㎛ in dia.) and three kinds of activated sludges with different SS concentration (2,300-7,100 mg/L) were applied for this study. With the dosage variation of BF from 0.14 to 1.3 g-BF/g-SS, we could obtain 24-31% improvement in SV30 (Sludge Volume after 30min sedimentation) for the lowest SS concentration sludge (2,300 mg/L). Whereas the SV30 improvement was much higher as 44-48% for the highest SS concentration sludge (7,100 mg/L). The settling characteristics of the sludge with BF followed Vesilind model the best among three models (Vesilind, Takacs and Cho model). HC could effectively separate BF with the separation efficiency of 70-90% and over 95% separation efficiency could be obtained when the HC was applied twice.

비지로부터 분리한 Bacillus subtills PUL-A 균주를 이용한 비지발효물로부터의 biopolymer flocculant 생산은 glutamate 함량이 5% 첨가한 후 $42^{\circ}C$에서 24시간동안 발효하는 경우에 PGA 생산량은 52.2g/kg으로 최대를 나타내었다. 부분 정제된 biopolymer flocculant의 PGA의 함량은 87%이었으며, 분자량은 $1.3{\times}10^6$ dalton 이상을 나타내었다. PGA의 pH 변화에 따른 점조도는 pH 6을 기준으로 산성 쪽으로 갈수록 급격하게 감소하였으나, 분자량의 변화는 거의 나타나지 않았다. Bioflocculant의 유동특성은 농도가 증가할수록 전단속도가 증가되어 전형적인 의가소성 흐름특성을 나타내었으며, 항복력도 증가하였다. Bioflocculant 용액의 점조도 값은 pH가 높을수록 열에 상당히 안정하였으나 열처리온도 및 시간이 증가할수록 pH에 따라 급격하게 감소하였다. Kaolin clay suspension을 이용한 응집활성에서 bioflocculant의 농도가 15 mg/L 일 때 최대 응집활성을 나타내었으며, 응집활성은 $Ca^{2+}$을 첨가할 때 가장 높게 증가하였으며 최적 농도는 4.5mM로 나타났다. 그러나 3가 양이 온인 $Fe^{3+}$을 첨가할 경우는 응집활성이 급격하게 감소하였다. 응집활성은 pH 5에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$에서 열처리함에 따라 응집활성은 급격하게 감소하였다. 또한 저분자량의 PGA보다는 native 고분자량의 PGA가 응집활성에 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Chitin and chitosan has been almost neglected until 1960s, although they are the second largest biomass on earth. Their major use were as a natural flocculant for waste-water treatment, and partially used in the areas of food, feed industry, cosmetics and medicine. Possible sources of chitin among biomass were tested, and antibacterial activity and viscosity-concentration relation- ship of diluted acidic solution were examined.

In this research effect of physicochemical parameter on flocculation using PASS-100 were evaluated. pEt flocculant dosage, mixing intensity and detention time were adopted as experimental variables. The physicochemical parameter( p% mixing intensity and mixing time ) were important Parameter on flocculation performance. Effluent pH range for effective flocculation was 4.5-7. Optimum Gt$_{d}$ range was 20,000-30,000 and its range similar to alum flucculation. Rapid mixing was very important parameter to floe formation in PASS- 100 flocculation. Whereas, slow mixing did not affect to the removal efficiency at settling time for 30minute or more.

산성광산배수(Acid mine drainage; AMD)를 처리하기 위한 자연정화시설의 반응조는 긴 체류시간을 위해 넓은 면적이 요구되며, 집중호우로 인해 유량이 급격히 늘어나는 여름에는 체류시간 부족으로 반응이 충분히 일어나지 못하고 많은 오염물질이 유출수로 빠져나가는 현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 부지 및 환경 특성으로 인해 넓은 면적이 요구되는 자연정화시설을 설치하기에 어려움이 있는 폐광산의 AMD에 응집제를 사용하여 빠른 시간 내에 오염물질을 침전시키고 탁도를 개선하는 연구를 진행하였다. W광산에서 배출되는 AMD에 무기응집제 PAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride)와 유기응집제인 PAM (Polyacrylamide) 성분이 포함된 고분자응집제를 사용하여 AMD의 상등수 및 여액의 중금속 농도와 침전된 슬러지의 형태를 파악하기 위해 입도분석, ICP-OES, SEM-EDS 분석을 실시하였다.
