Effect of humic acid (HA) with periodic nitrogen back-flushing was investigated in hybrid process of alumina microfiltration and photocatalyst for drinking water treatment. It was compared and investigated with the previous results of microfiltration water back-flushing or ultrafiltration nitrogen back-flushing in viewpoints of membrane fouling resistance ($R_f$), permeate flux (J), and total permeate volume ($V_T$). As results, the trends of membrane fouling were different depending on nitrogen or water back-flushing, and depending on ultrafiltration or microfiltration made with the same material. Also, the nitrogen back-flushing using microfiltration was more effective membrane fouling inhibition than ultrafiltration, and the nitrogen back-flushing was more effective than water back-flushing using the same microfiltration membrane. Turbidity treatment efficiencies were almost constant independent of HA concentration, but HA treatment efficiency was the maximum at HA 10 mg/L. From this results, it was shown that the treated water HA quality increased as increasing HA concentration, but HA could be removed the most effectively by photocatalyst beads adsorption and photo-oxidation at HA 10 mg/L.

The present works concerns a side flushing device for the improvement of the conventional Electric-Discharge Machining(EDM) process. In the EDM process, chips are usually generated as the workpiece is removed, and deposited between the electrode and the workpiece. This sediment degrades the surface finish of the machined product as well as the processing efficiency. In the present study, a flushing device with additional side injection equipments is proposed in order to remove the deposited chips effectively. Through numerical simulations, the validity of the proposed device is verified, and the influence of process parameters is investigated. Experiments have been also carried out in the die sinking EDM process. It was observed that the process efficiency and the surface finish are improved by virtue of the proposed flushing device.

The solvent flushing apparatus for soil remediation was manufactured. After the soil around nuclear facilities was sampled and was compulsorily contaminated by Co, the remediation characteristics by solvent flushing were analyzed. Meanwhile, one-dimensional solute transport within nonequilibrium sorption code was developed for modelling of the soil remediation, input parameters for modelling were measured by laboratory experiment. Experimental results are as follows : When water was used as a solvent, the higher was the hydraulic conductivity, the higher the efficiency of soil remediation was. When EDTA solution was used as a solvent, the soil remediation efficiency of EDTA solution showed higher than that of water.

Spilling of petroleum hydrocarbons such as gasoline, motor oils, and diesel fuel from underground storage tanks (USTs) is a major source of contamination to ground water and soils. In response to the need of developing an effective and economical cleanup technique, this study investigates the effectiveness of using sonication to enhance the soil flushing method. The study involves laboratory testing, and the testing was conducted using a specially designed and fabricated device to determine the effect of sonication on contaminant removal. The sonication was applied at 20 kHz frequency under different power levels. Test soil was Joomoonjin Sand, and diesel fuel was used as a contaminant of soil flushing test. The results of the investigation show that sonication enhanced the contaminant removal from soils significantly, and the degree of enhancement varied with power levels of sonication. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the flushing method with sonication has a great potential to become an effective method for removing petroleum hydrocarbons from the contaminated ground.

In this study, the combined electrokinetic and ultrasonic remediation technique onto simple soil flushing was studied for the enhancement of water and liquid flows and the removal of contaminants in contaminated soils. The ultrasonic technique has been used to increase liquid flow and remove pollutants in contaminated soil. The laboratory soil flushing tests combined electrokinetic and ultrasonic technique were conducted using specially designed and fabricated devices to determine the effect of these both techniques. A series of laboratory permeability experiments involving the simple, electrokinetic, ultrasonic, and electrokinetic & ultrasonic flushing test were carried out. A soil admixed with sand and kaolin was used as a test specimen, and Pb and ethylene glycol were used as contaminants. An increase in out flow, permeability and contaminant removal rate was observed in electrokinetic and ultrasonic flushing tests.

A comparative study on the two techniques of uterine flushing in superovulated sheep was conducted. The first method was carried out by flushing of the horn through a Foley catheter inserted into the uterine horn (method I ). The second method involved flushing of the horn with the medium injected into uterine tip nea. the utero-tubal junction through a Foley catheter inserted into uterine horn(method II). Superovulation was carried out on day 8 of the estrous cycle by a FSH-PG method. Ova were flushed on 6 or 7 days after mating. The recovery rates in methods I and II were 68.0%(51/75) and 43.6%(17/39), respectively(p<0.05). It indicated that method I is effective technique for flushing of the sheep ova from the uterus.

하수관거는 장기간 사용에 의해 오염물질 퇴적 현상이 발생하여 관거 유하능력의 기능을 상실하게 되는 문제점이 발생한다. 관내 오염물질 제거 방법 중 관거 Flushing 방법을 적용하였을 경우, 유입유량, 유입시간, 관경사 변화에 따른 유속 및 수위 변화를 분석하여 하수관거 내 부유물질의 퇴적을 방지하기 위한 최소유속기준을 만족하는 관거 유하 길이를 분석하고자 한다. 관거 내의 수리학적 거동을 분석하기 위해서 SWMM 및 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여 관거 내 수리학적 거동 현상을 분석하였다. 또한 모형의 적용성을 검증하기 위해서 수리모형실험 자료를 이용하였다. $5\;{\textperthousand}$ 관경사에 대하여 유입유량 $0.16\;m^3/min$을 3 분 동안 Flushing 하였을 경우 최대유속은 0.58 m/s로 최소유속 0.6 m/s를 만족하는 관의 누가거리는 확보할 수 없는 것으로 모의되었다. 또한 관경사가 증가함에 따라서 최대유속 및 최대유량도 증가함을 보여주고 있다. 이와 같은 분석을 통해 관 내 부유물질의 퇴적을 방지하기 위해 Flushing 방법을 수행하였을 경우, 보다 효과적이며 경제적으로 Flushing 방법을 수행할 수는 설계 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

섬진강 하구는 남해안 중부에 위치해 있으며, 하구둑이 건조되어 있지 않아 하구역 일대와 광양만이 하나의 넓은 기수역을 형성하고 있다. 또한 섬진강 하구는 상류에 섬진강댐, 주암댐 등이 건설되고 취수량이 증가하면서 하구로 유입되는 수량이 감소해 기수역이 상류로 확대된 것으로 보고되고 있다. 2008년 주암댐에서는 갈수기 때마다 대두되는 수질악화 및 염수침입을 방지하고자 3/10~3/24일에 걸쳐 1차, 4/23~5/7에 걸쳐 2차로 나누어 flushing 방류를 실시하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실측된 염분 자료를 토대로 3차원 수리 및 수질해석이 가능한 EFDC 모형을 활용하여 flushing 방류를 실시한 경우와 하지 않았을 경우에 대하여 모의를 수행함으로써 flushing 방류 유무에 따른 하구의 염수침입 및 염해피해 방지 효과에 대해 분석하였다.

We performed periodic water-back-flushing using permeate water to minimize membrane fouling to enhance permeate flux in tubular ceramic microfiltration system for water treatment of high turbid source. The filtration time (FT) = 2 min with periodic 6 sec water-back-flushing showed the highest value of dimensionless permeate flux ($J/J_o$), and the lowest value of resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$), and we acquired the highest total permeate volume $(V_T)\;=\;6.805L$. Also in the result of BT effect at fixed FT = 10 min and BT (back-flushing time) = 20 sec showed the lowest value of $R_f$ and the highest value of $J/J_o$, and we could obtain the highest $V_T\;=\;6.660\;L$. Consequently, FT = 2 min and BT = 6 sec could be the optimal condition in water treatment of high turbid source above 10 NTU. However, FT = 10 min and BT = 20 sec was superior to reduce operating costs because of lower back-flushing frequency. Then the average quality of water treated by our tubular ceramic MF system was turbidity of 0.07 NTU, $COD_{Mn}$ of 1.86 mg/L and $NH_3-N$ of 0.007 mg/L.

During ballast of a LNG carrier, the mud at the sea floor can enter the tanks together with the ballast water if the LNG terminal is located at shallow water region. In order to remove the mud deposited on the tank floor during deballasting, the mud flushing system in the ballast tanks is applied. In this study, various analyses to conform the efficiency in the mud removal are performed. In order to design the mud flushing system, the particle size of the mud is measured by particle size analyzer. Flushing performance is evaluated by numerical analysis. From the results of numerical analysis including flow field and piping system network, the optimized flushing system is determined.
