  • Ozonization for rearing seawater in land-based culture system has recently been utilized for disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms and improvement of water quality. This study was conducted to examine the effects of total residual oxidants (TRO) in ozone-treated seawater on survival, blood parameters, osmolality and oxygen consumption, and gill tissue of the flounder. Paralichthys olivaceus. Experiments were carried out with the starved flounder of 12~19 cm in total length at $20^{\circ}C$. The 48-hr and 96-hr $LC_{50}$ for the flounder amounts to 26.4 ppb and 22.3 ppb, respectively. With increase of TRO concentration from 24 to 39 ppb, the values of hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count and osmolality of the flounder with respect to exposure time were significantly elevated, however, the oxygen consumption rates decreased. In the case of the fish exposed to 13 ppb for 96 hrs, blood glucose increased with an elapse of exposure time, while survival rate was 100%. Death apparently resulted by massive destruction of gill lamellar epithelium, severe osmotic imbalance and the lack of oxygen uptake. The results of this experiment indicated that to protect aquaculture organisms, the ozone-treated seawater should not contain any residual oxidants, and that relatively long-term exposure to TRO of low concentration can impact on survival and physiological conditions of the flounder.

  • In this research, we tried to develop the application method to water management and treatment using toxicity test method. When we measure the toxicity of environmental samples, we have to decide whether we take some countermeasures to reduce the toxicity or not. The first issue is how to set these action levels in each bioassays. A new idea was attempted to authorize indirect approach of each bioassays through the response characteristics against mixture of chemicals in water quality standard. The significant response in the cell-growth-inhibition bioassay was detected for standards-mixture(STDs). For acute toxicity assay, STDs-based implicit correlation between risks to humans and bioassay data showed a rational approach to set action levels in practical management. A simple model was proposed to describe and predict the changes in the total toxicity based on the concentrations of toxic-controlling chemicals during the ozonation of landfill leachates. On the basis of this simple model, toxicity reduction was predicted for pre-aggregation treatment before ozonation and ozone concentration during the ozonation. The method proposed in this study would be useful in optimizing water treatment processes and their running conditions in terms of the toxicity reduction efficacy.

  • 최근 polyolefin계열의 고분자 분리막이 많이 사용되고 있는데 특히 그 중 polypropylene막은 특성상 내약품성 및 내열성이 뛰어나 막 손상이나 성능 저하가 비교적 적은 고분자 막으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 재질의 소수성 특성 때문에 심각한 fouling을 유발하게 되어 이를 방지하기 위해 막 표면을 hydrophilic agent로 개질 시켜 fouling을 제어하는 기술이 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 막 재질을 개질 시키기 위하여 sulfonating agents, ozone, 그리고 hydrophilic monomer등을 grafting하는 방법들이 사용되고 있는데, 이는 공정상의 어려움이 있고 완벽한 친수성의 부여를 기대하기가 어렵다. 또한 막 기공 구조의 변화와 붕괴를 초래한다는 단점이 있다. 이밖에 hydrophilizing agent 등을 이용하여 wetting시킴으로써 일시적인 친수화 처리를 하는 방법이 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 membrane matrix로 부터 hydrophilizing agent가 새어 나가므로 영구적으로 사용할 수 없으며, 특히 의료용 분리막으로 이용될 경우 유출된 hydrophilizing agent가 cell membrane을 공격하여 cell 분해와 같은 인체에 해로운 결과를 초래하기 때문에 부적당하다. 최근 들어 저온 plasma를 이용한 표면 개질의 방법이 연구되고 있는데, 이는 plasma가 고분자 물질의 구조나 화학적 반응성과는 상관없이 모든 고분자 물질의 표면을 일정하게 개질 시킬 수 있으며 여타의 다른 방법들과는 달리 막 제조시 residual solvent의 문제점과 swelling의 문제점들이 발생하지 않는 장점 때문에 최근 각광받고 있는 기술 중의 하나이다. 또한 다른 방법에 비해 막과 plasma와의 강한 흡착력 때문에 영구적 친수성을 가지게 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저온 plasma를 이용한 표면 개질이 막의 친수성 향상 및 fouling 방지에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다.

  • Creepage discharge faults in air on solid insulating material play a vital role in degradation and ageing of material which ultimately leads to breakdown of power equipment. And electric discharge decompose air in to its by-products such as Ozone and $NO_x$ gases. By analyzing air decomposition gases is a potential method for fault diagnostic in air. In this paper, experimental research has been conducted to study the effect of creepage discharge on rate of generation of air decomposition by-products using different insulating materials such as RTV, epoxy and fiberglass laminated sheet. Moreover XRF analysis has been done to analyze creepage discharge effect on these insulating materials. All experiments have been done in an open air test cell under constant temperature and pressure conditions. While analysis has been made for low and high humidity conditions. The results show that the overall concentration of air decomposition by-products under creepage discharge in low humidity is 4% higher than concentration measured in high humidity. Based on this study a mathematical relationship is also proposed for the rate of generation of air decomposition by-products under creepage discharge fault. This study leads to indirect way for diagnostic of creepage discharge propagation in air.

  • Fig. 8 summarizes the present status of high yield pulp production and the directions of research on modification. A thick line indicates pulping process presently in use. As mentioned previously, one kind of modification is to introduce hydrophilic groups onto the pulp. Still unsolved is whether or not the introduction of hydrophilic groups should be restricted to lignin only. Goring (28) reported that middle lamella lignin has fewer phenolic hydroxyl groups than cell wall lignin and suggested that such a difference in the lignin may be useful in the removal of middle lamella lignin. The introduction of hydrophilic groups onto pulp may not be enough to modify high yield pulp. The removal of some portion of carbohydrate may be also necessary from the standpoint of softening of pulp fibers. There is no information at what lignin and carbohydrate, and how much should be removed. The combination with synthetic high polymers may also be important in modifying high yield pulp. Prof. C. Schuerch of the State University of New York who was a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo in 1974, mentioned that the hydrophilicity of lignin would be promoted, if phenolic hydroxyl or carboxyl groups could be introduced into the aromatic nucleus of lignin. If this were possible. this process would also mean a pulp yield of more than 100%. This idea is just one example of the expectation made possible through lignin chemistry. Instead of the introduction of hydrophilic group, the oxidative degradation of aromatic nucleus of lignin may also be useful in promoting the hydrophilicity of pulp. In this case, ozone may be an excellent chemical. However, there are a lot of problems to be solved such as homogeneity of reaction and selectivity of ozone for lignin. The above ideas are summarized in Fig. 9. There are many problems to be solved in the production of an excellent high yield pulp which is comparable to chemical pulp. The information from wood chemistry hopefully will elucidate some of the problems mentioned above.

  • In this paper, in these case of photoelectrode using UV treatment after oxygen solar conversion efficiency is increased. According to oxygen injection UV treatment will removal residual organics and increase the TiO2 surface area but also UV treatment can affect the same chemical action of ozone treatment. More porous networks and larger porosities were obtained in the TiO2 films prepared UV treatment after oxygen injection.
