A sedimentation basin is used to remove suspended sediments which can cause abrasive and erosive wear on hydraulic turbines of hydropower plants. This sediment erosion not only decreases efficiency of the turbine but also increases maintenance costs. In this study, the three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out on the overseas hydropower project. The simulations of flow and suspended sediment concentration were obtained using FLOW-3D computational fluid dynamics code. The simulations provide removal efficiency of a sedimentation basin based on particle sizes. The influence of baffles on the flow field and the removal efficiency of suspended sediments in the sedimentation basin has been investigated. This paper also provides the numerical simulations for sediment-induced density currents that may occur in the sedimentation basin. The simulation results indicate that the formation of density currents decreases the removal efficiency. When a baffle is installed in the sedimentation basin, the baffle provides intensive settling zones resulting in increasing the sediments settling. Thus the enhanced removal efficiency can be achieved by installing the baffle inside the sedimentation basin.

본 연구에서는 연안어장 준설퇴적물을 이용하여 적조생물인 Cochlodinium polykrikoides을 제거하는 실험을 수행하였다. 최적의 적조제거 조건을 도출하기 위해 준설퇴적물의 투입량 및 입자크기, 열처리, 첨가제 종류 및 함량, 적조 분포 깊이 등의 인자를 조절하였다. 준설퇴적물의 적정 투입량은 6~10 g/L 정도였으며, 이를 살포했을 때 제거율은 60분 후 73~93%이었다. 실제 바다에 투입시 단위면적당(1 $m^2$) 건조한 준설퇴적물 기준으로 6~10 $kg/m^3$를 살포하는 것이 필요하다. 준설퇴적물의 입자크기가 작을수록 적조제거율이 증가했다. 입자크기가 <100 ${\mu}m$일 때 제거율이 93%로 100 ${\mu}m$ ${\mu}m$ 입자의 경우(51%)보다 훨씬 높았다. 준설퇴적물의 90% 이상이 100 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 크기를 차지하므로 준설퇴적물을 별다른 처리없이 살포했을 때 상당한 효과를 거두리라고 본다. 준설퇴적물에 첨가제(CaO)를 넣어서 적조제거에 높은 효율(99%)을 얻었다. 첨가제의 적정량은 5~10%이지만 pH 상승을 고려해서 가능한 소량 투입하는 것이 적합하다. 적조 분포 깊이가 깊을수록 제거효율은 증가했다. 깊이가 5 cm 일 때 제거효율이 83%이었고 50 cm 깊이에서는 93%이었다. 바다에서 적조가 발생하는 깊이는 3 m 이내이고, Cochlodinium polykrikoides 대부분이 1 m 이내의 깊이에 존재한다. 이 실험결과를 통해 실제 바다에 준설퇴적물을 적용하면 더 높은 적조 제거효율을 얻을 수 있으리라고 기대한다. 연안어장 준설퇴적물(<100 ${\mu}m$) 10 g/L을 투입하여 적조를 최대 93%까지 제거할 수 있었으며, 이 결과는 황토를 이용한 결과(90~97%)와 비슷했다. 본 연구결과는 연안어장 준설퇴적물 살포법이 기존의 황토살포법을 대체할 수 있을 정도로 처리효율이 뛰어남을 보여주었다.

Reverse osmosis filtration(RO) system and ultrafiltration(UF) system are principally use for domestic home drinking water treatment systems. The object of this study is to make a comparison between two systems in terms of theirs abilities to remove RNA coilphage QB as an indicator of pathogenic enteroviruses. The virus removal ratio of RO system was 99.999%, which was higher than EPA virus treatment guideline(99.99%). In the course of filtration, removal ratios of sediment filter, pre-carbon filter, reverse osmosis membrane and post-carbon filter were 75.000%, 93.208%, 99.997% and 99.999%, repectively. In case of UF system, virus removal ratio was 99.708%. Removal ratios of sediment filter, pre-carbon filter, post-carbon filter and ultrafiltration membration membrane were 71.038%, 91.530%, 98.283% and 99.708%, respecively, in UF steps. Therefore, RO system is more effective than UF system in virus removal.

국내산 담수 이매패 펄조개를 이용하여 부영양 저수지의 표층수를 실험실로 유입 처리하고 처리수는 다시 저수지로 환원하는 이른바 '흐름형 유기물 제어'(CROM: continuous removal of organic matters) 기술을 개발하고 하천에서 채취한 모래퇴적물의 첨가가 유기물 제어와 수질에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 조사하였다. CROM은 크게 저류조, 조정조, 처리조, 분석조 등으로 이루어졌으며, 실험은 처리조에 현장수, 현장수+모래, 현장수+패류, 현장수+모래+패류 등을 각각 구성하여 유업속도는 18${\sim}$25 L $h^{-1}$ 패류밀도는 486.1 indiv. $m^{-2}$, 수온은 15${\sim}$22$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 13일간 실시하였다. 유기물 및 수질 변화를 확인하기 위하여 매일 동일한 시간에 수온, pH, DO, 전도도, 탁도, 염분도, 엽록소 a, 부유물질, TN, TP, $NO_2$, $NO_3$, $NH_3$, $PO_4$ 등을 측정하거나 채수하여 곧바로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 미처리수의 반송이 패류의 유기물 제어에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으며 퇴적물의 첨가에 상관없이 실험기간 동안 80% 이상 유기물(부유물질 빛 ChI-a)을 감소시켰으나 높은 농도의 암모니아와 인산 등을 배출하였다. 결국 한국산 이매패 펄조개를 이용한 CROM 운영효과는 매우 뚜렷하였으나 장기간 운영시 유기물 제어능 및 패류 생존율에 미치는 다른 요인들-수온, 미생물, 세정주기 등의 변화가 예상되며, 처리수에 대한 처리 및 활용에 대한 다각적인 연구가 뒤따라야 할 것으로 사료되었다.

The removal efficiency of road-deposited sediment (SDR) by road sweeping was analyzed by performing particle size analysis before and after road sweeping at four highways during May to December 2019. The SDR accounted for the largest proportion in the range of 250 to 850 ㎛ and the degree of its proportion had an effect on the particle size distribution curve. The particle size distribution of the collected sediments showed a similar distribution at all sites. Below 75 ㎛, the removal efficiency of SDR showed a constant value around 40%, but above 75 ㎛, it increased as the particle size increased. The removal efficiency was 82-90% (average 86%) for gravel, 66-93% (average 79%) for coarse sand, 35-92% (average 64%) for fine sand, 29-69% (average 44%) for very fine sand, 19-58% (average 40%) for silt loading, 10-59% (average 40%) for TSP, 13-57% (average 40%) for PM10, and 15-61% (average 38%) for PM2.5. SDR removal efficiency showed an average of 69% for the four highways. It was found that if the amount of SDR was less than 100 g/m², it was affected by the road surface condition and had a large regional deviation. As such, the amount of SDR and the removal efficiency increased. The fine particles, which have relatively low removal efficiency, contained a large amount of pollutants, which is an important factor in water and air pollution. Therefore, various measures to improve the removal efficiency of fine particles in SDR by road sweeping are needed.

In this study, an Excel-based model (ROADMOD) was developed to estimate pollutant loading from the road and evaluate BMPs. ROADMOD employs the Chezy-Manning equation and empirical expression for estimating surface runoff, and power function for pollutant buildup, and exponential function for pollutant washoff in SWMM. The results of model calibration for buildup and washoff using observed data revealed a good match between the simulation results and the observed data. The long-term surface runoff and sediment simulated by ROADMOD demonstrated a good match with those by SWMM with 2 ~ 14% of relative error. The shorter sweeping interval (within 8 days) remarkably decreased sediment loads from the road. It was found that the effect of reducing sediment loads from the road was greatly affected not only by the sweeping interval but also by sweeping on the day before a rainfall event. The 48% of removal efficiency of sediment loads from the road was achieved with 26 times of road sweeping per year when sweeping was performed on the day before the rainfall event. A 4-day sweeping interval showed similar removal efficiency (48%) with 96 times of sweeping per year. It is considered that the road sweeping on the day before a rainfall event could maximize the effect of reducing the non-point source pollution from the road with minimization of the number of road sweeping. So, the road sweeping on the day before a rainfall event can be considered as one of the useful and best management practices (BMPs) on road.

In this study, the reservoir sediment reduction methods for long-term operation are proposed by the analysis of both sediment deposit characteristics and sediment reduction effect by each method. To that end, a flowchart for sediment analysis in reservoir is established and sediment deposit is simulated by SMS-SED2D model. The sediment reduction methods which are sediment passing (sluicing), flushing, trapping, bypassing and mechanical removal are used. From the simulation results, the effective method for sediment reduction is operation which is coupled by both sediment passing with sand gate and sediment trapping with debris dam. And If sediment flushing will be used once a year after 50 years, conservation storage can be secured until 100 years after dam construction.

In this study, the effect of hydrochloric acid (HCl) concentrations on removal efficiency and chemical forms of heavy metals in dredged sediment during acid washing was investigated. The removal efficiencies of Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni and Cd by acid washing were 18.4-92.4%, 7.2-83.7%, 9.4-75%, 8.1-53.4% and 34.4-70.8%, respectively. Overall, the removal efficiencies of heavy metals were remarkably enhanced with the increase of the acid strength. However, the removal efficiencies for 0.5 and 1.0 M HCl were comparable, and both cases met the Korean soil contamination standard. Based on the sequential extraction results, concentration of the exchangeable fraction (F1), the most labile fraction, increased whereas concentrations of the other fractions decreased with increasing acid strength. Particularly, the carbonate (F2) and Fe/Mn oxides (F3) fractions drastically decreased by using 0.5 M or 1.0 M HCl. The current study results verified that acid washing could effectively reduce heavy metal concentrations and its potential mobility in dredged sediments. However, the study also found that acid washing may cause significant increase in bioavailable fraction of heavy metals, suggesting the need to evaluate the changes in chemical forms of heavy metals by acid washing when determining the acid strength to be applied.

Large amount of water is diverted annually for irrigation along the Yellow River. Owing to the tremendous sediment carried by the river , sediment deposits is an important problem in irrigation and drainage system. The sediment has to be taken out by machines from the irrigation system, otherwise water can not be available in the right place at the right time. In order to improve the sediment desilting efficiency, the sediments that settle in certain sites of a irrigation system must be removed by different desilting machines with special performance and working conditions. Those certain sites include : the diversion canal in the flood plain , the mouth of inlet, settling basin , irrigation and drainage system. In view of removal sediment above, the paper presents the ideas of type selection of desilting machines applied to certain sites. Proposals of making further improvement on performance for some desilting machines are also put forward.

본 연구에서는 HEC-6 모형을 이용하여 태화강 본류하도 하구부에 위치한 방사보의 영향에 따른 하상변동특성을 분석 검토함으로서, 향후 태화강 하도종합개발계획 수립시에 효과적으로 이용할 수 있도록 하였다. 하상변동특성 분석에 필요한 유량 조건은 태화강 하천정비기본계획수립에서 검토된 풍수량, 홍수량 및 계획홍수량 조건을 이용하였다. 먼저, 하상변동폭에 대한 분석 결과, 삼호교 하류 하도구간에서는 유하유량이 클수록 세굴과 퇴적이 활발히 진행되고 있으나 삼호교 상류 하도구간에서는 큰 변동이 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 다음으로, 유사이송능을 검토한 결과, 유하유량이 클수록 유사이송능은 큰 값으로 추정되었으나 계획홍수량 유하시 방사보 철거전후의 태화강 하구부의 유사이동능은 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 방사보 철거로 인한 토사유입량 감소대책을 고려하여 태화강 하류부에서 유입되는 동천지류의 최하류부에 하천유지용수 확보와 태화강으로의 유사량 유입을 감소시키기 위하여 적절한 수리 구조물을 설치한다면 방사보 제거 후에도 태화강 최하류부의 유사량 퇴적을 감소시키는 좋은 방안이 될 것으로 판단된다.
