The feasibility of foam separation to remove protein in aquacultural recirculating water was investigated. From the results of batch foam separation on protein removal, superficial air velocity and initial protein concentration in bulk solution were found to be important operational factors In determining removal rates of protein. The protein removal rate by batch foam separation was proportionally increased with the superficial air velocity. Performance characteristics of continous foam separator were highly dependent upon the operating parameters of superficial air velocity, hydraulic retention time(HRT) and foam height. Removal effeciency of protein increases with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT, and independent on foam height. As DO concentration was increased with superficial air velocity, foam separator is also used for oxygen addition. It could be confinned that foam separator might offer better perspective for protein removal in aquacuitural recirculating water.

A study was conducted to evaluate a protein removal characteristics by foam separation. The foam separator was operated in well-mixed tank which would be considered as a completely mixed condition. The feasibility of foam separation to remove protein from fresh and sea water was investigated. Protein removal characteristics of the foam separator were obtained by batch reactor operations. To find the effect of the operating parameter to protein removal rate, the foam separation was carried with variation of initial protein concentration and foam height. The results indicated that the protein removal efficiency was increased with increasing protein concentration and decreased with increasing foam height. The relationship between protein concentration and protein removal rate was evaluated by linear regression.

The feasibility of foam separation to remove protein produced from fish culture water was investigated, By assuming foam separation column as a single well-mixed pool, a simplified model for foam separator conditions was alse studied under the batch operation. The model indicated that the protein removal could be described as a first-order reaction whose rate increases with both superficial air velocity and protein concentration in the bulk solution. from ,the results of an experimental study on the effects of superficial air velocity, the protein concentration, temperature, and pH on protein removal, the superficial air velocity and initial protein concentration in bulk solution were found to be important operational factors. Other experimental results important that foam separator operated under batch conditions would be considered as a completely mixed reactor. The protein removal rate by foam separation process was increased proportionally with the superficial air velocity, and the adsorptive removal rate of protein was found to obey Langmuir adsorption formula. The preposed simplified model was verified with the experimental data obtained from this study. Under the experimental range used, both temperature and pH did not affect the protein removal.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate a experimental model developed for the protein removal by foam separation. The foam separator was operated in well-mixed tank which would be considered as a completely mixed condition. The feasibility of foam separation to remove protein from sea water was investigated. Protein removal characteristics of the foam separator were obtained by batch experiments. To find the effect of the operating parameter to protein removal rate, the foam separation was carried with variation of initial protein concentration and superficial air velocity. The result indicated that the protein removal efficiency was increased with increasing protein concentration and superficial air velocity. The relationship between operation parameters and protein removal rate were evaluated by non-linear regression as the form of exponential function, Using both relationships, the simplified model was determined. The simplified foam separator operation model was verified by the batch operation. The simulation results showed a good relationship with the experimental data.

The polyurethane foam impregnated with 5, 7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (DBHQ) has been studied to be applied to the quantitative adsorption and recovery of Hg(II) from the aqueous solutions. The adsorption of Hg(II) by DBHQ-OPP foam is due to the chelation between DBHQ-OPP foam and Hg(II) on the foam, forming each colored insoluble chelate with 1:2 mole ratio. The optimum experimental conditions for the adsorption of Hg(II) has been determined. The quantitative recovery of Hg(II) adsorption by the OPP foam and reuse of DBHQ-OPP foam were investigated. Hypothesis on the adsorption and separation mechanism of Hg(II) and DBHQ to the polyurethane foam was proposed.

Removal of waste generated by Paralichthys olivaceus in the seawater aquarium using a foam separator was investigated. Protein concentration without a foam separator continuously increased until 3 days after stocking and reached at 25 mg/L after 5 days stocking, but protein concentration became lower than the initial protein concentration (2.5 mg/L) with a foam separator. The trends of other fish wastes such as ammonia, total suspended solids (TSS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were similar to protein. Dissolved oxygen (DO) in the aquarium decreased below 6.0 mg/L without a foam separator, but with a foam separator the average DO in the aquarium was 7.3 mg/L. Foam separation with the increase of superficial air velocity (SAV) was more effective than that with the fixed SAV. This study showed that wastewater. treatment of seawater aquarium using a foam separator is effective method for a fish waste removal and oxygen supply.

A continuous foam separator has been used to remove TSS, $NH_3\;and\;NO_2^-$ from the recirculating water in aquaculture. Experimental runs were carried out to determine the foam separation variables, such as, hydraulic retention time, superficial air velocity and foam .height. The removal efficiency of TSS, $NH_3\;and\;NO_2^-$ was increased with hydraulic retention time and superficial air velocity, and removal efficiency of $NH_3$ was increased steadily with foam height. As DO concentration was increased with superficial air velocity and foam height, foam separator is also used for oxygen addition. It was concluded that foam separator might offer better perspective for removal of harmful components in fish culture water.

The feasibility of foam separation to remove solid produced from fish culture water was investigated. Performance characteristics of foam separator were highly dependent upon the operating parameters which were superficial air velocity, Hydraulic retention time (HRT), and foam height. About $50\%$ of the total protein contained in a sample of fish culture water could be removed by foam separator. The removal efficiencies of protein, T-N, TA, and solid components were increased with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT. The combined effects of these operational variables show that removal rates of TVS increase with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT, and decrease as foam height goes up. It could be confirmed that foam separator might offer good perspective for removal of harmful components such as TA and TVS in aquacultural recirculating water.

As part of planning for waste minimization, decontamination foam has been considered as a potential application for the cleaning of radioactive contaminant. In this study, we synthesized silica particles to improve foam stability by varying synthesis parameters. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was found to influence the stability of the decontamination foam. The reason was that higher interaction between $SiO_2$ nanoparticles and surfactant at the air-water interface in aqueous solution is beneficial for foam stability. CTAB can also be used as an additive for the aggregation of silica nanoparticles. In the separation of $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, CTAB plays a critical role in the nanoparticles flocculation because of the charge neutralization and hydrophobic effects of its hydrocarbon tails.

One of the major failure modes in composite sandwich structures is the separation between skins and core. In this study, the effect of employing foam filled composite corrugated core on the skin/core debonding (resistance to separation between skin and core) is investigated both experimentally and numerically. To this aim, triangular corrugated core specimens are manufactured and compared with reference specimens only made of PVC foam core in terms of skin/core debonding under bending loading. The corrugated composite laminates are fabricated using the hand layup method. Also, the Vacuumed Infusion Process (VIP) is employed to join the skins to the core with greater quality. Utilizing an End Notched Shear (ENS) fixture, three point bending tests are performed on the manufactured sandwich composite panels. The results reveal that the resistance to separation capacity and flexural stiffness of sandwich composite has been increased about 170% and 76%, respectively by using a triangular corrugated core. The Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) with appropriate cohesive law in ABAQUS finite element software is used to model the progressive face/core interfaces debonding the difference between experimental and numerical results in predicting the maximum born load before the skin/core separation is about 6 % in simple core specimens and 3% in triangular corrugated core specimens.
