본 연구에서는 Sorfactant/Cosolvent 혼합용액을 적용한 Soil flushing 기법에 의해 농약(Endosulfan(6,7,8,9,10,10-Hexachlor-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methane-2,3,4benzo (e)dioxathiepin-3-oxide))으로 오염된 토양의 정화효율을 알아보았으며, 회분식 및 연속식 실험을 통하여 최적의 운전조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 세척용액의 적정 사용조건을 알아보기 위한 회분식 실험은 Jar tester를 사용하여 진탕비 (토양 중량 : 세척용액 부피), Surfactant(SDS ＋ POE$_{5}$, POE$_{9}$ ＋ POE$_{14}$, POE$_{5}$ ＋ POE$_{14}$, POE$_{14}$)와 보조용매(water, ethanol, methanol, ethanol＋methanol)의 혼합비 및 농도 조건을 변화시켜가며 토양세척을 수행하였다. 세척용액은 보조용매에 Surfactant의 농도를 0.5%, 1%로 용해하여 적용하였다. 연속식 실험은 회분식 실험에서 얻어진 최적 세척용액 사용조건 즉, 계면활성제 SDS + POE$_{5}$(1:1, 용액농도 1%), 보조용매 ethanol을 일정 비율로 혼합한 세척용액을 오염된 토양이 충진된 유리칼럼에 여러 유량조건에서 1 - 20 pore volume까지 통과시켜 각 통과된 pore volume에서의 토양세척 효율을 알아보았다. 본 실험조건에서 얻어진 세척용액의 최적 통과 속도는 0.31 ㎤$cm^{-2}$$min^{-1}$ 이었으며, 세척온도의 증가에 따른 세척효율의 향상은 2$0^{\circ}C$이상에서 크게 둔화되었다. 또한 보조용매의 사용량을 줄이기 위해 에탄올을 물로 1:3까지 희석한 결과 세척효율에 큰 영향이 없음을 알 수 있었다.

Surfactant enhanced in-situ soil flushing was peformed to remediate the soil and groundwater at an oil contaminated site, and the effluent solution was treated by the chemical treatment process including DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation). A section from the contaminated site(4.5m$\times$4.5m$\times$6.0m) was selected for the research, which was composed of heterogeneous sandy and silt-sandy soils with average Hydraulic conductivity of 2.0$\times$10$^{-4}$ cm/sec. Two percent of sorbitan monooleate(POE 20) and 0.07% of iso-prophyl alcohol were mixed for the surfactant solution and 3 pore volumes of surfactant solution were injected to remove oil from the contaminant section. Four injection wells and two extraction wells were built in the section to flush surfactant solution. Water samples taken from extraction wells and the storage tank were analyzed by GC(gas-chromatography) for TPH concentration with different time. Five pore volumes of solution were extracted while TPH concentration in soil and groundwater at the section were below the Waste Water Discharge Limit(WWDL). Total 18.5kg of oil (TPH) was removed from the section. The concentration of heavy metals in the effluent solution also increased with the increase of TPH concentration, suggesting that the surfactant enhanced in-situ flushing be available to remove not only oil but heavy metals from contaminated sites. Results suggest that in-situ soil flushing and chemical treatment process including DAF could be a successful process to remediate contaminated sites distributed in Korea.

Estuary is a transitional zone between river and ocean environment that receives the maritime and riverine influence simultaneously. Estuaries are the most productive habitats because their incoming water provides large quantities of nutrients. The Seomjin River estuary, located in the middle south of Korea, has no barrage and shows natural characteristic of estuary. However, due to dredging and reclamation the environment of the estuary has been changed significantly in the river mouth. In addition, increased freshwater intake in midstream of the Seomjin River results in salinity intrusion. In this paper salinity variation in downstream estuary of the Seomjin River has been simulated and tested using EFDC model. The results of simulation were compared with measured data collected at three points, Culture & Art Center, Sumjin Iron Bridge, and Mokdori, located at 9Km, 14Km, and 15.5Km respectively from downstream estuary. Based on the simulated results, the contribution of the flushing discharge has been evaluated in preventing the salinity intrusion by increasing the discharge flowrates released from the Juam dam.

Four pluriparous Korean black goat does were superovulated with FSH and mated with fertile bucks. Anesthetized animals were placed in lateral recumbency, then size 8 Foley catheter was inserted into the uterus through the cervix under the vaginal speculum and the balloon was inflated to fix the catheter in the uterine body. The opposite end of the catheter was connected to a 3-way and a flushing medium was infused into the uterus. Modified Dubecco's PBS with 1% FBS was used as the flushing medium. Four goats were allocated in two groups depending on the type of medium infusion into uterus. Injection group; the flushing medium was injected into uterus and the infused medium was collected by to-and-fro method using a syringe. Gravity-flow group; the flushing medium was allowed to enter the uterus by gravity flow by lifting the medium bottle and drained out of the uterus into a collecting tube. All four goats had catheter inserted through the cervix and uteri flushed successfully. The volume (recovery rate) of recovered medium varied considerably from 87 ml/200 ml (43.5%) to 148 ml/160 ml (92.5%). Nine embryos/ova in total were recovered from Gravity-flow group goats. Although the embryo recovery rate was low, the possibility of a transcervical embryo recovery in Korean black goat had been proven in this preliminary experiment.

댐 건설을 하게 되면 저수지 형성으로 인한 통수단면 증가가 발생하고 이에 따른 하천의 유속 및 난류 영향이 감소하게 된다. 이러한 영향으로 댐 상류 구간에서 발생한 유사량은 저수지에 퇴적하게 되고 유효저수량은 감소하게 된다. 저수지의 유효저수량 감소는 댐의 주요 기능인 용수공급, 수력발전 등의 기능 저하에 지대한 영향을 주게 된다. 특히 해외 수력발전 사업의 경우 하천 경사가 크고, 퇴사가 많이 발생하는 지역에 댐이 위치하고 있다. 이와 같은 문제 해결을 위한 중 장기적 퇴사거동 및 예측에 대한 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 파키스탄 Gulpur 지역에 설치 예정인 수력발전용 댐에 대한 장기간 퇴사모의를 위해 1차원 유사해석 모형인 HEC-RAS sediment module을 이용하였다. 퇴사모의에 적용한 모형의 입력 자료로는 총 52개년(1960-2011년)간 유사량 관측값과 20년간 유량측정 결과를 이용하였다. 유사해석 모의 시나리오는 유사 재질 비율변화에 따른 장기간 Deposited 모의와 댐의 Gate를 통한 유사 배제를 운영하는 Flushing 모의를 수행하였다. 유사해석 모의 결과 Deposited 시나리오의 경우는 저수지에서 퇴적된 유사는 대부분 Sand가 차지하게 된다. Sand의 포착률은 저수지가 가득 차기 이전에는 거의 100 % 포착이 되며, 저수지가 가득 차는 시기인 운영 20년 후에는 Sand를 포함한 전체 유사의 59%가 포착하게 되어 저수지가 한계에 도달한 것을 확인하였다. 또한, Flushing 시나리오의 경우는 Flushing 운영 기간의 변화에 따른 퇴사 포착 영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었으며, Gulpur 댐의 경우는 운영기간을 5일로 설정하는 것이 안정한 하상상태를 유지하는 것으로 검토되었다.

This paper presents a quasi-steady model for numerical simulations of reservoir sedimentation and reservoir flushing. The quasi-steady model is based on the assumption that the flow is steady with time-dependent stream morphology change. This is reasonable because stream morphology changes over a long period, while the flow changes rapidly. The proposed model is first applied to two laboratory experiments for reservoir sedimentation. The channel is shown to be adjusted to new sediment supply at the upstream by changing both the flow depth and slope. Simulated water surface and bed profiles compare favorably to measured data. The model is also applied to reservoir flushing. Good agreement between simulated and measured data is not obtained due to time variation of outflow generated to facilitate the flushing in the experiment. Finally, relationships for equilibrium flow depth and bed slope are proposed and tested through numerical experiments.

A series of batch and lab-scale continuous tests were conducted to optimize the design parameters for the full-scale in-situ soil flushing experiments. The cleaning abilities of the surfactant solutions of Tween 80, Triton X-100 and SDS were compared for the soil artificially contaminated by hydrophobic organic contaminants: n-dodecane, naphthalene and anthracene. Tween 80 and Triton X-100 were shown to be efficient for n-dodecane. SDS and Tween 80 were shown to be efficient for naphthalene and anthracene. At the end of each column test, the sorbed amount of surfactant to soil was also measured. Tween 80 was found to be the least adsorbed surfactant to soil. The flushing ability at flowrate of 7 ml/min, was hampered comparing to flowrate of 3 and 5 ml/min. Initial pH of the soil did not significantly affect the flushing efficiencies. Tween 80 was determined as the most harmless surfactant for the Gram(+) and Gram(-) bacteria.

To examine the effects of nitrogen flushing on the storage stability of red pepper powders, the color and capsanthin and capsaicin contents were investigated. Capsanthin and capsaicin contents of red pepper powders during their storage decreased as the increase of temperature. Nitrogen flushing packaging was good for the retention of capsanthin and capsaicin than air packaging. Brown color of red pepper powders during their storage differed with storage temperature and packaging condition, thus low temperature and nitrogen reduced the brown color substantially, L and b values by Hunter's color were almost not changed during 10 months storage of red pepper powders, and a value was decreased as the increase of temperature. Therefore, nitrogen flushing packaging for the storage of red pepper powders was good than air packaging.

The Gongji stream water of Chuncheon city was filtrated by 2 kinds of tubular alumina ceramic MF membranes with periodic $N_2$-back-flushing. $N_2$-back-flushing time (BT) was changed in $0{\sim}50$ sec at fixed filtration time (FT), or back-flushing period, of 4 min for NCMT-5231 membrane ($0.05\;{\mu}m$). Then, FT was changed in $0{\sim}32$ min at fixed BT of 40 sec for NCMT-7231 $0.1{\mu}m)$). In the viewpoints of total permeate volume ($V_T$), dimensionless permeate flux ($J/J_0$) and resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$), the optimal $N_2$-BT was 50 sec, which was the longest BT, at 4 min FT for NCMT-5231. It means the longest BT was the most effective to minimize the membrane fouling, and we could acquire the most $V_T$. But the optimal FT for NCMT-7231 was 16 min in the viewpoint of $V_T$, and was 8 min in the viewpoints of $J/J_0$ and $R_f$ at fixed BT of 40 sec. The rejection rates were excellent as $80.6{\sim}96.6\;%$ for turbidity, $35.2{\sim}58.4%$ for $NH_3$-N, $16.3{\sim}45.2%$ for T-P and $16.3{\sim}45.2%$ for $COD_{Mn}$. However, the rejection rate of T-N was very low as $2.7{\sim}13.4%$ and it of TDS below 6.1%.
