석탄을 가스터빈에 직접 사용하여 발전 효율을 높이고자 용매추출법으로 회분이 제거된 청정석탄 제조공정이 개발되고 있다. 용매추출에 의해 생산된 청정석탄에는 미량의 알카리금속이온이 들어있어서 연소시에 터빈 날개의 부식을 일으킬 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 청정석탄 제조공정의 알카리금속이온 제거를 위하여 무기이온교환제인 ${\alpha},{\beta}$-인산금속 산화물들(ZP: $Zr(HPO_4)_2$, TP: $Ti(HPO_4)_2$, ZTP: $ZrTi(HPO_4)_4$, Z1TP3: $Zr_{0.25}Ti_{0.75}(HPO_4)_4$, Z3T1P: $Zr_{0.75}Ti_{0.25}(HPO_4)_4$)과 H-Y 제올라이트를 제조하여 수용액 및 석탄이 용해된 고온의 유기용매(N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone)에서 나트륨 이온 제거 특성을 비교 분석하였다. ${\beta}$ 형태의 인산금속산화물들은 모사 수용액($Na^+$ Conc. 100 ppmw)에서 ${\alpha}$ 형태에 비해 높은 이온교환용량을 가지고 있으며 H-Y 제올라이트에 비해서도 높은 나트륨 이온 제거용량을 보여주었다. 이온교환매체가 고온의 유기용매($Na^+$ Conc. 12 ppmw in NMP)일 경우에는 H-Y 제올라이트의 나트륨이온 제거율은 $300^{\circ}C$까지 90% 이상이었으나, 그 이상의 온도에서는 50% 가량으로 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 그러나 ${\beta}$ 형태의 인산금속산화물들은 여러 온도조건($250{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)에서 90% 이상의 제거율을 나타내었고 강산용액을 이용한 재생 후에도 최초 실험과 유사한 나트륨 이온 제거율을 보여주었으며 그 중 가장 높은 제거율을 나타낸 $Zr_{0.75}Ti_{0.25}(HPO_4)_2$는 알카리금속이온 제거공정에 가장 적합한 무기이온교환제로 판단된다.

원자로 정지시 혼상 탈염기의 최적 운전방법을 제안할 목적으로 산성-산화성 분위기에서 저농도의 Ni, Co 및 Ag 이온이 함유된 모의 냉각재 용액의 연속식 이온교환특성을 연구하였다. 금속 이온의 제거 용량에 미치는 양이온 교환수지 형태의 효과로서 $H^+$형 수지의 성능은 $Li^+$형 수지의 성능보다 약 6% 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 혼합층 이온교환 방법인 양이온과 음이온 수지의 혼합은 비혼합시와 비교하여 금속 이온들의 제거 용량에는 영향을 미치지 않았으나 금속 이온들의 파과곡선의 기울기를 매우 조금 증가시켰다. 냉각재의 산성-산화성 분위기와 관계된 영향으로서 붕산의 첨가는 금속 이온들의 파과곡선의 기울기를 매우 작게 감소시킨 반면, 과산화수소의 첨가는 금속이온들의 제거 용량을 약간 감소시켰다.

현재 건설생산현장에서 이루어지고 있는 거푸집 제거 시기 결정, 설계기준강도 확보 등의 강도관리는 그 시점을 예측할 수 없다는 단점이 있기 때문에 건설생산현장에서의 공정계획 및 강도관리에서 한계가 있을 수밖에 없다. 이에 따라 콘크리트의 강도를 예측할 수 있으면 보다 합리적인 강도관리 및 공정계획이 가능하게 된다. 본 연구는 적산온도 방법에 의해 새로 제안된 강도예측모델의 적용가능성을 검증하기 위해 기존 강도예측모델 중 Logistic 모델과 비교 평가하였으며, 모의부재에서 채취한 코어공시체와 현장양생공시체의 압축강도를 비교 평가한 후 새로운 강도예측모델에 의해 강도를 예측하여 거푸집 제거시기를 결정하는 것에 대한 합리성을 검증하고자 하였다. 실험결과 Freiesleben의 활성화에너지를 이용한 등가재령함수에 있어서 콘크리트의 강도는 양생온도에 관계없이 유사한 강도수준을 나타내고 있으나 강도-적산온도의 상관성을 높이기 위해서는 등가재령 계산시 이용되는 활성화에너지에 대한 검토가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 새로 제안된 모델의 경우 Logistic 모델에 비해 초기재령에 있어서 강도예측이 보다 정확한 것으로 나타났으며, SSE는 작고 결정계수는 높게 나타나고 있어 이를 이용한 강도예측이 보다 합리적일 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 범위 내에서 양생온도 10~15$^{\circ}C$의 경우 강도관리 측면에서 새로운 강도예측모델 사용시 압축강도 50kgf/${cm}^2$ 발현시점이 기존에 제안된 기간과 비교하여 빠르게 나타나고 있어 이를 건설생산현장에서 적용할 경우 거푸집제거시기의 단축에 의한 공기단축이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

A major problem in automation of turning operations is the difficulty in obtaining a sufficient and reliable chip control. Therefore it becomes desirable to find a method which can detect the chip form. Newly born chips in usual metal cutting radiate infrared rays. When such chips run out of cutting point quickly, the radiated energy from the zone around the tool is low compared with that of the case when long tangled chips are staying around the tool. The difference in chip pattern can be detected from the output of pyrometer. But, strictly speaking, only the output of pyrometer does not identify the chip form because that is the removal of chip. Therefore, in this paper, a method of the identification of chip form using output of pyrometer and fuzzy inference is developed.

The World Health Organization(WHO, 1998) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 1992) recommended $2{\mu}\;guranium/{\ell}$ in drinking water as a guideline. The Korea Institute for Environmental Research recently reported that the radioactive pollution in ground water was almost negligible In Korea$(1999\~2002)$. Cs were cast into beads(2mm in wet form) and treated with hexamethylene diisocyanate for stability in acidic aqueous solution through cross-linking of the beads surfaces. The removal study was carried out in a static batch system and a flow system. In the static system, a certain amount of sample water was confined in a vessel and beads(dry weight 0.5g) were packed into it in order to adsorb uranium for a certain period of time. Afterwards the remaining uranium in water vessel was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The effective pH range was 4 to 8. The smaller the size of beads, the better the removal efficiency. Furthemore, the lower the flow rates, the higher the removal efficiency. The results showed that chitosan beads can be effectively used for the removal of uranium contained in water.

Natural zeolites have exhibited high sorption capacity for inorganic cations including heavy metals and ammonium. Moreover, they were proven to be effective for environmental applications such as permeable barriers for controlling the spread of cation-contaminated groundwater. However zeolites have little or no affinity for anionic species like chromium, as they possess a net negative structural charge. To achieve the simultaneous sorption for anionic contaminants, surfactant-modified zeolite (SMZ) has been employed as the possible sorbents. Current study focuses on simultaneous removal of heavy metals having different ionic form in aqueous solution, cadmium (C $d^{2+}$) and chromium (Cr $O_{4}$$^{2-}$), using newly developed materials, ZanF. ZanF, a potential alternative to SMZ, was derived from zeolite modified by Fe(II) chloride followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Batch experiments were performed to estimate the removal efficiency of ZanF at different conditions. Under different pH ranging from 2 to 6, removal efficiency was investigated. And C $d^{2+}$ removal efficiency was estimated by varying background concentration of Cr $O_{4}$$^{2-}$, and vice versa. With the test results, ZanF was expected to be a possible reactive materials alternative to SMZ in permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) for treating the contaminated groundwater with cationic and anionic heavy metals.als.

The water quality from nonpoint source run off results from different land use types has been studied. The construction of a buffer strip is one method of nonpoint source pollutant control. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been applied to estimate the pollutant removal through the buffer strip. When the non-business land has been changed into grass to form a buffer-strip, the change of land use effects the results of the model according to measures of the water quality. The data from a water level station within the watershed in the years 2006 and 2007 was used for calibration and validation of the model. Under the rainfall conditions in 2007, the removal rates of SS, BOD, TN, TP were 11.5%, 9.5%, 1.2%, and 4.5%, respectively. During the rainy days, the removal rates at the buffer strip were 92.3% of SS, 91.2% of BOD, 82.4% of TN, and 83.5% of TP. The pollutants from nonpoint sources were effectively removed by over 80% as they passed through the buffer strips. Rainfall resulted in soil erosion, which led to an increase in the SS concentration, therefore, the construction of buffer strips protected the streams from SS inflows. Since TN concentrations are affected by the inflows of ground water and the N concentration of the rainfall, the removal rate of TN was relatively lower than for the other pollutants.

This study was performed to investigate the reaction characteristics of piggery wastewater for biological nutrient removal. The reaction characteristics were discussed the fraction of organics, the behavior of nitrogen, nitrification, denitrification, and the behavior of phosphorus. The fraction of readily biodegradable soluble COD was 11-12 percent. The ammonia nitrogen was removed via stripping, nitrification, autotrophic cell synthesis, and heterotrophic cell synthesis. The removal percents by each step were 12.1%, 68.9%, 15.0%, and 4.0%, respectively. Nitrification inhibition of piggery wastewater was found to occur at an influent volumetric loading rate over 0.2 NH$_{3}$-N kg/m$^{3}$/d. Denitrification rates were the highest in the raw wastewater and the lowest in the anaerobic effluent. The denitritation of piggery wastewater came out to be possible, and the rate of organic carbon consumption decreased about 10 percent. The phosphorus removed was released in the form of ortho-p in the aerobic fixed biofilm reactor, it was caused by autooxidation. The synthesis and release of phosphorus were related to the ORP and the boundary value for the phase change was about 170mV. In the synthesis phase, the phosphorus removal rate per COD removed was 0.023mgP$_{syn}$/mgCOD$_{rem}$. The phosphorus contents of the microorganism were 4.3-6.0% on a dry weight basis.

The study on the improvement of discharge water quality from domestic wastewater treatment plant (DWTP) was performed in a filter type bioelectrochemical system. The COD removal efficiency for a synthetic discharge water was about 88%, and the effluent COD was less than 5mg/L. The nitrification efficiency of the bioelectrochemical system was over 97%, but a considerable amount of the nitrogen was remained as nitrate form in the effluent. The total nitrogen removal efficiency was only around 30%. There are no significant differences in the removal of COD and nitrogen at 0.6 and 0.8V of the applied voltages between anode and cathode. The removal of COD and nitrogen in the system were quite stable when the HRT ranged from 60 to 15 minutes, and at 10 minutes of HRT, the nitrification efficiency was slightly decreased. The performance of the bioelectrochemical system has quickly recovered from the shocks in the influent due to high concentration of COD and nitrogen. For the effluent that discharged from the DWTP, the removal efficiencies of COD and total nitrogen from the bioelectrochemical system were 50 and 30%, respectively. Thus the bioelectrochemical system was a feasible process for further polishing the effluent quality from DWTP.

To better understand the ecology of tetrade forming organisms (TFOs) floating in a large amount of dairy wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent (sequencing batch reactor [SBR]) during the inefficient phosphorus (P) removal process of an enhanced biological P removal system, the TFOs from the effluent of a full scale WWTP were separated and attempts made to culture the TFOs in presence/absence of oxygen. The intact TFOs only grew aerobically in the form of unicellular short-rods. Furthermore, to identify the intact TFOs and unicellular short-rods the DNAs of both were extracted, analyzed using their denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)-profiles and then sequenced. The TFOs and unicellular short-rods exhibited the same banding pattern in their DGGE-profiles, and those sequencing data resulted in their identification as Acinetobacter sp. The intact TFOs appeared in clumps and packages of tetrade cells, and were identified as Acinetobacter sp., which are known as strict aerobes and efficient P-removers. The thick layer of extracellular polymeric substance surrounding Acinetobacter sp. may inhibit phosphate uptake, and the cell morphology of TFOs might subsequently be connected with their survival strategy under the anaerobic regime of the SBR system.
