In this study, a pH control method by carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) was applied to coagulation process in water treatment plant (WTP) to investigate the coagulation efficiency and residual dissolved aluminum when high pH raw water is flowing into the plant during algal blooming. Existing coagulant dose (1 mg/L in raw water) resulted in the pH reduction of 0.0384 by LAS, 0.0254 by PAC, 0.0201 by A-PAC, and 0.0135 by PACS2, respectively. And then the concentration of dissolved aluminum was 0.02 mg/L at pH 7.44, 0.07 mg/L at pH 7.96, 0.12 mg/L at pH 8.16, 0.39 mg/L at pH 8.38 showing the concentration increase with pH in the coagulation process. It was noteworthy that rapid increase was observed at pH above 8.0 next the rapid mixing. Therefore it is necessarily required to control pH below 7.8 in the coagulation process in order to meet drinking water quality standard of aluminum for high pH raw water into WTP, $CO_2$ injection could control pH successfully at about 7.3 even for the raw water of high pH above 8.0. In addition it was found that the pH control by $CO_2$ injection was significantly effective for coagulation in terms of turbidity removal, coagulant dosage, and residual dissolved aluminum concentration.

전처리 후 얻어진 셀룰로스 고분자를 단당류로 전환하기 위해서는 셀룰라제를 이용한 당화 과정이 필요하다. 통상 실험식 연구에서는 셀룰로스 당화시 당수율을 최대로 하기위해 pH조절을 위한 Citrate buffer와 미생물 오염을 막기 위한 Autoclave에서의 멸균 과정을 거친다. 하지만 대량생산을 목적으로 하는 산업체에서는 적용이 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 이를 대신하여 산업체에서 적용 가능한 당화전환 공정의 효율성을 평가하고자 하였다. Autoclave 멸균을 대체하는 공정으로 항생제 첨가와 여과에 의한 제균을 선택하였고, citrate buffer를 대신하여 buffer를 첨가하지 않은 물을 pH를 조정하여 사용 하였다.실험결과 기존의 당화공정을 사용하였을 때 당화율이 81%이었고, pH를 조절한 제균 water에 항생제를 첨가하는 공정은 71%로 나머지 배지들 중 가장 높은 당화율을 나타냈다. 이것은 기존의 당화율보다 10% 낮은 수치이나 공정비를 교려하여 봤을 때 효율성 있는 공정으로 판단된다.

최근 귀금속중의 하나인 Ruthenium(Ru)은 높은 일함수, 누설전류에 대한 높은 저항성등의 톡성으로 인해 캐패시터의 하부전극으로 각광받고 있다. 하부전극으로 증착된 Ru은 일반적으로 각 캐패시터의 분리와 평탄화를 위해 건식식각이 이루어진다. 하지만, 건식식각 공정중 유독한 $RUO_4$ 가스가 발생할 수 있으며, 불균일한 캐패시터 표면을 유발할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 CMP 공정이 필요하게 되었다. 하지만, Ru은 화학적으로 매우 안정하기 때문에 Ru CMP 슬러리에 대한 연구가 필요하게 되었으며, 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ru CMP 공정에서 Chemical A가 에칭제 및 산화제로 사용된 슬러리의 pH 변화와 pH 적정제에 따른 영향을 살펴보았다. Ru wafer를 이용하여 static etch rate, passivation film thickness와 wettability를 pH와 pH 적정제에 따라 비교해 보았다. 또한, pH 적정제로 $NH_4OH$와 TMAH를 이용하여 pH별 슬러리를 제작하고 CMP 공정을 실시하여 Ru의 removal rate을 측정하였다. $NH_4OH$와 TMAH의 경우 각각 130. 100 nm/min의 연마율이 측정된 pH 6에서 가장 높은 연마률을 보였으며, TMAH의 경우가 pH 전 구간에서 $NH_4OH$에 비해 낮은 연마율이 측정되었다. TEOS 에 대한 Ru의 선택비를 측정해 본 결과, $NH_4OH$의 경우 pH 8~9. TMAH의 경우 pH 6~7에서 높은 selectivity를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study Provides the treatment methods of liquid wastes from the dissolution/purification process of nuclear fuel raw material and the fabrication process of nuclear fuel powder. One of the treatment methods is to process liquid waste from uranium raw material dissolution/purification process. This waste, of the strong acid, can be reused to dissolve the fine ADU particles in filtrate which is ADU waste of pH 8.0 converted from AUC waste after recovery of uranium. To dissolve the fine ADU particles, ADU filtrate was pretreated to pH 4.0 with the dissolution/purification waste, and then mixed with the lime to pH 9.2 and aged for 30 minutes. From this processing, uranium content of the filtrate was decreased to below 3ppm. The waste from fuel powder fabrication is emulsified solution dispersed with fine oil droplets. This emulsion was destroyed effectively by adding and mixing the nitric acid with rapid heating at the same time. After this processing, $Na_2U_2O_7$ compound is produced by addition of NaOH. Optimum condition of this processing was shown at pH 11.5, and uranium content of the filtrate was analyzed to 5ppm. To remove the trace of uranium in the filtrate, lime should be added. Otherwise, 4N nitric acid was used to destroy the emulsion directly, and then lime was added to this waste. Uranium content of the treated filtrate was below 1 ppm. In addition to these wastes, the trace of uranium in filtrate after recovery of uranium from the AUC waste which is produced during PWR power preparation, is treated with NaOH to takeup fluorine(F) in the waste because fluorine is valuable and toxic material. In the finally treated waste, uranium was not detected.

Aeration is the most important and indispensable operation unit for the treatment of swine manure using aerobic liquid-composting process. The composting of swine manure depends on biological treatment process, but the highly concentrated ammonia nitrogen is required a pretreatment to expect the appropriate efficiency of the biological treatment process. In this study, pilot experiments have been carried out to estimate of the fit condition about ammonia stripping process as a pretreatment to aerobic liquid- composting. pH adjustment with $Ca(OH)_2$ was economically superior to use of NaOH and optimum pH of ammonia stripping was 12.3, ammonia nitorgen was rapidly removed as pH were increased at $$35^{\circ}C$$. When air stripping is performed before aerobic liquid-stripping, a high initial pH is required for complete ammonia removal and is additional effects such as organic substances, phosphorus, turbidity, and color removal. Stripping process was very efficient in the pretreatment of highly concentrated ammonia nitrogen for composting of swine manure. Emission rate of gaseous ammonia was $0.5355mole\;s^{-1}$ at initial time and $0.0253mole\;s^{-1}$ at finitial time. The fit condition of ammonia stripping in this study were at the temperature of $$35^{\circ}C$$, and the pH of 12.3 during 48 hours.

[ $O_3$ ]/catalyst를 이용한 고급산화공정에서 pH변화에 따른 1,4-dioxane의 화학적 분해 특성을 알아보기 위해 이 실험을 수행하였다. 초기 pH를 6, 8, 10으로 조절하여 변화를 보면 오존의 pH 완충효과에 의해 시간이 지남에 따라 알칼리와 산의 경우 중성 쪽으로 중화되는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 시간에 따른 1,4-dioxane의 제거율은 pH 10 > pH 8 > pH 6 의 순서로 나타는 것을 보였다. 이는 오존이 산성에서는 안정하지만 알칼리성에서는 불안정함으로 인해 자기분해를 일으켜 OH라디칼의 생성을 촉진시켜 제거율이 높게 나타났다. 초기 pH를 조절한 실험, 초기 pH를 일정하게 유지한 실험에서의 50분 후의 최종 제거율은 비슷하였지만, 초기 pH를 일정하게 유지한 실험에서 제거율이 꾸준히 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The pH of recycled aggregate is over 12 because of high alkalinity of cement. This high alkalinity give circumstance harmful effect. The high alkalinity of recycled aggregate can appear variously according to aggregate properties, elution time of alkalinity, aggregate size, and so on. This study analyzed recycled aggregate properties according to wet and dry type manufacture process; different test methods: waste official test, soil contamination official test, BS EN 1744-3 standard; elution time and different size to test effects of various condition. These test results can contribute to solving environmental problems by recycled aggregate. In the test results, pH of recycled aggregate was as higher as smaller particle size and as time elapsed. There was no difference between dry and wet type recycled aggregate except for difference according to elapsed time. Waste official test method got the highest pH value between pH test methods. So unified pH test method need to test recycled aggregate pH.

High leakage current and threshold voltage shift(${\Delta}Vth$) are demerits of a-Si:H TFT. These characteristics are influenced by gate insulator and active layer film quality, surface roughness, and process conditions. The purpose of this investigation is to improve off current($I_{off}$) and ${\Delta}V_{th}$ characteristics. Nitrogen-rich deposition condition was applied to gate insulator, and hydrogen-rich deposition condition was applied to active layer to reduce electron trap site and improve film density. $I_{off}$ improved from 1.01 pA to 0.18 pA at $65^{\circ}C$, and ${\Delta}V_{th}$ improved from -1.89 V to 1.22 V.

Curdlan is one biopolymer composed of ${\beta}$1,3-glucan and dissolved in a alkali solution but formed salt under neutral or acid condition. It was produced by Agrobactrium species and the separation process is necessary to make pure curdlan from the culture broth. The pH swing separation method was as feasible separation process using solubility changes with the pH difference. however, this method requires a lot of acid and alkali solution also produces a lot of waste. Therefore, an efficient process which could save energy and minimize toxic waste was developed. A density gradient separation process was developed in this research. High density sucrose solution was used as a separation agent. Curdlan was separated from the culture broth when the density of the sucrose solution was 1.15 g/L. Since the curdlan was produced on the surface of cell wall. the pre-treatment of culture broth was necessary. Curdlan recovery yield was increased up to 83% with the homogenization of the culture broth and further increased up to 87% with the treatment of alkai-acid solution.
