While sludge is settling in batch column, sludge concentration becomes high. Because the characteristic of sludge settling changes in function of time due to the sludge concentration change, the sludge settling velocity changes too. Also, because the sludge settling characteristic is influenced by a physical characteristic of sludge and a column height etc, it is difficult to exactly measure the sludge settling characteristic. Although the sludge volume indexes, SVI, SSVI and $SSVI_{3.5}$, are used to predict sludge settling characteristic, these indexes are not reliable values. Because the previously established models for sludge settling velocity predict the sludge settling velocity only, it is difficult to predict sluge-water interface height by using those models. The purpose of this experiment is to establish the empirical model which predicts the sludge interface height change with respect to the sludge physical characteristic and the settling condition.

While sludge settles down in a column, sludge settling characteristic is influenced by effect parameters, interparticle force, wall effect etc. As the height of a column changes, the settling velocity of sludge-water interface changes, too. At lower sludge concentration, particular effect was not observed by the difference of column height, however it was observed that settleability of sludge was greatly influenced by column height when sludge settling was poor or sludge concentration was high. It is therefore required to consider the effect of column height when the power model for sludge interface settling is established. In the tests, there was hardly any $SVI_{ts}$(SVI after "t" minutes) difference in each column after 10min at $1.5kg/m^3$ of sludge concentration. When sludge concentration was at $2.5kg/m^3$, $SVI_{ts}$ tended to be constant after 20min. At $3.5kg/m^3$, $SVI_{ts}$ increased to 30minuets. The purpose of this work is to establish the correction factor that is able to compensate the errors derived from each different height of column.

Column tests in the laboratory were preformed to investigate characteristics of settling process of dredged soil sampled from in-situ. Test results were analyzed by using the existing theories on discrete settling and hindered settling. From column tests of monitoring the interface with time, settling was found to be a linear process with time and the settling rate was increased with initial water content of slurry. The settling rate was also observed to decrease with increasing initial height of slurry. Most of settling process were composed of flocculation, hindered settling and self-weight consolidation. On the other hands, flocculation of soil during settling was observed and it was found that the size and density of flocculated particles could be analyzed by using the method proposed by Richardson and Zaki.

For understanding sludge concentration profile as a function of time, sludge was sampled at each sampling port. When sludge concentration was 3g/L, the vertical sludge concentration distribution was similar to that of 2g/L of sludge concentration. During the early stage of sludge settling, sludge concentration increased remarkably as the sludge interface height in batch column became lower. The higher sludge concentration became, the worse sludge setteability became. Also, the type of sludge settling was influenced with sludge concentration gradient in batch column. In the same concentration, the greater sludge concentration gradient was, the faster sludge interface settled down. And the changing sludge concentrations in a batch settling or a continuous settling were simulated by using the equation of sludge interface height change model.

A series of column test with a silty marine soil mixed with Jumunjin Standard Sand were performed to investigate the characteristics of settling and consolidation of non-plastic dredged soils. Column tests were carried out by using the separable column to measure the grain size distribution of consolidated layer. Column tests were performed with changing the mixing ratio of Jumunjin Standard Sand to the silty marine soil, initial water content of slurry and initial height of slurry. Height of interface of slurry was monitored during tests and grain size distribution tests were carried out after finishing tests. Influencing factors on the particle segregation, eventually to the characteristics of settling and consolidation of non-plastic soil, were analyzed on the thesis of test results. As results of column tests, the mixing ratio of sand to the silty marine soil and the initial water content of slurry were known to affect the characteristics of settling and consolidation resulted in significant particle segregation of slurry. Initial height of slurry was found not to affect seriously to particle segregation.

For the further study of the solids flux theory, several researchers have proposed models to predict sludge settling velocity for each different concentration by using sludge indexes, SVI, SSVI and $SSVI_{3.5}$. It is difficult to apply the above models to predict sludge-water interface height in a batch column because sludge settling velocity changes while sludge settle down. While sludge settle down in a batch column, sludge concentration becomes high. The sludge concentration change is one of the most critical causes of the change of sludge settling velocity. Also, sludge concentration change causes of sludge index to change. SVI is more sensitive than SSVI or $SSVI_{3.5}$ to the change of sludge concentration. Each sludge has physical characteristics of its own which makes the settling velocity for each sludge different. The purpose of this study is to establish the correction factors that are able to compensate the errors derived from each different sludge settling characteristic by using sludge indexes, therefore the correction factors are applicable to the model for the change of sludge-water interface height.

While sludge settles down in a batch column, sludge concentration becomes high. Sludge concentration change is one of the most critical causes of the sludge settling velocity variation. Therefore, sludge concentration change causes sludge index to change. SVI is more sensitive than other sludge indexes to the change of sludge concentration. And if sludge-water interface has reached final height within 30minutes, SVI is not suitable for prediction of sludge settling characteristic, Therefore, SVIs of each sludge are, in some cases, different although each sludge has the same settling velocity. But SVI has been widely used to interpret sludge settling characteristic by a simple testing method. This work has two purposes. The first purpose is to predict sludge settling velocity by using sludge-water interface settling velocity. And the second purpose is to develop new sludge settling characteristic index to exactly interpret sludge settling characteristic by overcoming the limit of SVI.

This study was performed to develop the method for producing industrial coal sources by cleaning Korean anthracite. Laboratory hindered-settling separation column was set and three coal samples were used for tests. Tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of the major operating variables, teeter water flow rate and relative column pressure (set point). Additional tests were performed to elevate the yield and properties of the products using air bubble injecting process. In results, nice products were obtained with high teeter water flow rate and air bubble injection. Also, model of continuous hindered-settling separation process was established to assist the evaluation of the equipment and several operating variables, such as dispersion, teeter water flow rate, feeding rate, etc.

점토질 입자를 다량으로 포함하는 준설토의 매립 시 발생하는 침강 및 압밀 거동에 대하여 조사하고자 일련의 실내실험을 수행하였다. 카올린 점토를 사용하여 초기함수비, 전해질의 종류 및 농도 등 다양한 조건에서 침강실험을 실시하였으며, 침강을 촉진하고 압밀에 의한 체적감소를 극대화하기 위하여 동전기프로세스를 채택하여 자연 상태의 침강 및 압밀 거동과 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과 전해질 용액에 존재하는 다양한 양이온의 영향으로 침강속도가 증가하였으며, 자연 상태의 침강거동에 비해 동전기적 침강의 경우 더 많은 침하량을 유발시켰으며 함수비의 감소를 확인하였다.

오염된 지역의 연안 퇴적물은 PCB 등 소수성 오염 물질을 흡착하고 있으며, 준설과 같은 환경 정화사업을 할 때, 재부유되어 오염되지 않은 인근 수역으로 이동될 수 있다. 이러한 환경 영향의 평가를 위해 저자는 앞서 침강, 연직확산, 응집에 의해 입자크기 분포가 변화하는 것을 모사할 수 있는 수학적 모델을 개발 제시한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 모델을 이용하여, 연안환경을 실험적으로 재현한 높이 2 m의 settling column으로부터 측정된 입자크기분포 자료를 이용하여 시뮬레이션하며 분석한 결과를 제시하였다. 분석결과, 모델은 퇴적물 입자가 column 내에서 연직이동을 하며 입자 분포가 시간적으로 또 수심별로 변화하는 것을 상당히 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났으며 재부유된 퇴적물 입자는 연직이동과 함께 응집이 되고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 크기가 다양한 오염된 퇴적물이 응집에 의해 입자크기분포가 변화하며 연직 이동되는 매우 복잡한 현상에 대해 유효하게 컴퓨터 모사할 수 있음을 보였다.
