The Raw water from Deer Creek (DC) reservoir and Little Cottonwood Creek (LCC) reservoir in the Utah, USA were collected for jar test experiments. This study examined the removal of arsenic and turbidity by means of coagulation and flocculation processes using of aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride as coagulants for 13 jar tests. The jar tests were performed to determine the optimal pH range, alum concentration, ferric chloride concentration and polymer concentration for arsenic and turbidity removal. The results showed that a comparison was made between alum and ferric chloride as coagulant. Removal efficiency of arsenic and turbidity for alum (16 mg/L) of up to 79.6% and 90.3% at pH 6.5 respectively were observed. Removal efficiency of arsenic and turbidity for ferric chloride (8 mg/L) of up to 59.5% at pH 8 and 90.6% at pH 8 respectively were observed. Optimum arsenic and turbidity removal for alum dosages were achieved with a 25 mg/L and 16 mg/L respectively. Optimum arsenic and turbidity removal for ferric chloride dosages were achieved with a 20 mg/Land 8 mg/L respectively. In terms of minimizing the arsenic and turbidity levels, the optimum pH ranges were 6.5 and 8for alum and ferric chloride respectively. When a dosage of 2 mg/L of potassium permanganate and 8 mg/L of ferric chloride were employed, potassium permanganate can improve arsenic removal, but not turbidity removal.

In this study, four Korean black raspberry wines were developed from different regions in Korea; Gochang (G), Heongsung (H), Jeongup (J), and Sungchang (S). Their flavor profiles were determined using a combination of volatile analysis and sensory evaluation. From the volatile analysis of the developed wines, 8 acids, 17 alcohols, 12 esters, 9 terpenes, 3 aldehydes and ketones, and 4 miscellaneous compounds were identified. Preferences of appearance, aroma, full-body, and overall acceptability in the developed wines were determined using 9-point hedonic scale by 43 panelists, compared with one commercial black raspberry wine (Sunw). The sweetness, sourness, astringency levels were also evaluated using 9-point just-about-right (JAR) scale. The mean overall acceptability score of Sunw (5.58) was the highest among the tested wines, followed by G (4.81), S (4.44), H (4.41), and J (4.13) (p<0.05). Sweetness levels in the developed wines were overall lower than JAR level, while sourness and astringency levels were overall higher than JAR level.

A feasibility test was conducted to evaluate the addition of turbidity substance in a coagulation process to remove natural organic matters (NOM), the precursor of disinfection by-products (DBPs). The experimental water sources were synthetic water containing 5 mg/L of humic acid and 50 mg/L of NaHCO3 and drinking water resource of Ulsan city (S Dam water, D Dam water and Nak-Dong raw water). The examined turbidity substances were kaolin, acid clay, and modified clay (0.38 meq $NH_4{^+}-N/g$ clay). In Jar tests at different concentrations of the turbidity substances (5, 10, 15, 20, 30 mg/L) using the synthetic water, the turbidity substances improved the removal of turbidity, UV-254 absorbance and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by 23.8-38.1%, 17.0-24.5% and 2.5-44.5%, respectively. The modified clay showed higher removal efficiencies than other substances. In Jar tests using the drinking water, 10 and 20 mg/L of modified clay enhanced the removal efficiencies of turbidity, UV-254 absorbance, DOC, trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP), and haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) by 3.0~4.3%, 19.1~29.0%, 12~34.9%, 4.9~36.7%, and 1.6~30.2%, respectively.

이암 및 셰일은 점토를 함유하고 있어 풍화작용을 받을 경우 공학적 성질이 급격히 변화하여 강도 저하, 내구성저하현상 및 토사와 유사한 거동을 보이는 등 토목공사에 위험한 요소가 되고 있다. 풍화된 시료엔 대한 실험용 시료 가공이 어렵고 적용 가능한 실험법이 적어 공학적 특성이나 거동을 정량적으로 파악하는 기법이 다른 암종에 비해 극히 제한된다. 현재까지 강도측정과 같은 일반적인 물성의 단순측정보다는 내구성을 분석하는 슬레이킹 내구성 시험 (Slake durability test), Modified Jar test, 팽창율 측정시험 (Swelling test) 등의 정량화 시험법이 주로 사용되고 있으며 국내 현장에서도 적용을 권장할 수 있다. 이러한 실험치의 해석에서 단일 실험치 (예: 팽창율)만으로 지질공학적 특성을 파악하는 경우 잘못된 판단을 할 수도 있으므로, X선 회절분석시험 (XRD: X-Ray Diffraction Test), TG-DTA분석, 주사전자현미경 (SEM: Scanning Electron Microscope) 이미지 분석, 투수계수 측정실험 등도 함께 수행하여 실험결과를 종합적으로 해석하는 것이 바람직하다.

Seven bacterial strains capable of conversing Gardenia irridoidglucoside into blue color was isolated on nutrient agar plates with 0.1% water extracted solution of Gardenia's dryad seed. In the seven, strain No. C2 was most effective in the production of blue color. The optimal conditions in production of blue color were when initial pH of medium was 7.0 and cultivation temperature was 35$^{\circ}C$. In 5 $\ell$-Jar fermantor, the powder of blue color was produced about 15% (W/W). And the color was relatively stable in our test.

In this study, not only making an effort to find a solution for sewage and wastewater treatment, but also demonstrating a feasibility of wastewater disposal process which is treated with the cohesion and adsorption mechanism of sewage and wastewater using quartz porphyry and zeolite, which is a domestic natural resource. By using a jar test, we evaluated removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$ after reation. According to the result of experiment, when we injected 400~1,200 g/L of quartz porphyry and zeolite into a sewage as a coagulant, there was no difference of the rejection rates of $COD_{Cr}$, however, when quartz porphyry and zeolite, which were sintered at $600^{\circ}C$, were treated into urban sewage, removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$ had increased by about 15%, 3% respectively. In addition, we applied into a cosmetic tissue wastewater by using mixture of quartz porphyry and natural zeolite in order to analyze the applicability of other wastewater as well as Municipal Sewage.

Chemicals are injected in order to remove a variety of organic substances contained in the water purification plant influent. It can be determined with measuring sedimentation turbidity 4~7 hours later, whether the chemical dosage rate is proper or not, which make the real-time feedback control impossible. In addition, manual operation in accordance with the Jar-Test carried out in the laboratory and the operator's experience may cause the experimental and human error by the changes of organic characteristics and water quality. Especially at night ad weekend, the rate have been determined only by the operator judgment owing to environment engineer's absence. Therefore, the decision of optimal chemical dosage rate using proposed intelligent control algorithm is expected to result in real-time injection and cost reduction.

The operating conditions of sludge disposal for sanitary paper manufacturing wastewater treatment plant were monitored on the basis of daily check sheets during the 3 years of operation. Generated wastes were mainly composed of 79% of sludge, 14% of ash, 5% of waste synthetic resin and 2% of etc. Maximum sludge was produced to 233 ton and the average was 113 ton daily, where the primary sludge occupied 85% and 15% for the secondary sludge. The concentration of coagulant for sludge dewatering was extremely exceeded and the additional experiment such as jar-test was required for the establishment of proper dosage. Presently, the generated sludges were partially treated outside and were also partly handled inside. In the future, most sludges will be expected to be treated to recycling material for the iron industry.

Conventional coagulation is still the main treatment process for algae removal in water treatment. The coagulation efficiency can be significantly improved by the preoxidation of algae-containing water. Jar test was conducted to determine the optimal condition for the removal of diatoms, especially Cyclotella sp. by preoxidation and the subsequent coagulation. The effects of various concentration of PAC (Polyaluminum chloride) on coagulation with and without preoxidation using chlorine or potassium permanganate at different pHs (7.7 and 9.0) were evaluated. At pH 7.7, preoxidation with 2ppm $Cl_2$ followed by coagulation with 7.5 ppm PAC coagulant could reduce Cyclotella sp. concentration by 86%. At pH 9.0, preoxidation with 1 mg $KMnO_4/L$ followed by coagulation with 12.5 ppm PAC coagulant reduced Cyclotella sp. concentration by 85%. Non-linear regression was applied to determine the optimal condition. At pH 7.7 and 9.0, R was over 0.9, respectively. The pH of algal blooming water is over 9.0. Algae (diatom; Cyelotella sp.) can be controlled in the following ways: preoxidation with 1 mg $KMnO_4/L$ followed by coagulation with 12.5 ppm PAC coagulant can remove 80% algae from water. If water pH is adjusted to 7.7, it was expected that less amount of coagulant (7.5 or 10 mg PAC /L) after preoxidation ($Cl_2$ 2 ppm or $KMnO_4$ 0.33, 1 ppm) would be needed to achieve similar level of algae removal. The oxidation with 0.33ppm $KMnO_4$ followed by coagulation with 7.5 ppm PAC coagulant was preferable due to cost-effectiveness of treatment condition and color problem after treatment.

Zoogloea ramigera 115 was cultured for biopolymer production and its bioflocculant usages. Cultural conditions of the organism were examined with regard to high production of the microbial polysaccharide. The most suitable medium was found to contain glucose as a carbon source, $NaNO_3$ as a nitrogen source, and yeast extract as an organic nutrient. The initial pH of 6.0 proved to optimal. The biopolymer was extracted effectively using ultrasonication and high speed centrifugation, followed by propanol addition. Jar test results indicate that the polysaccharide produced by the organism is an effective flocculant.
