Over the past decades, a flocculation and/or sedimentation process have been adopted to remove pollutants from CSOs. It has been learned that major factors affecting settlement of pollutants are the particle size distribution, their settling velocities and their specific gravity. It is, therefore, a good idea to analyze the particle size distribution and settleability of CSOs pollutants in order to develop details in designing a process. Discussed in this study are pollutant characteristics of CSOs such as particle size distribution and settleability of pollutants. The power law function is applied and is found to be an effective and reliable index for expressing the particle size distribution of pollutants in CSOs. Based on the regression analysis it is observed that the derived constants of curves representing settling velocity profile are proportional to the initial concentration of particles and to the ${\beta}$-values of power law distributions.

The mud deposit located to the south of Cheju Island, the East China Sea, is characterized by an upwelling system or, on occasions, a combined upwelling-downwelling system. The water mass here is associated with relatively high suspended matter concentrations. In the present study, a vertical I-D model is used to undertake numerical experiments for evaluating the upwelling and downwelling effects on the suspended particulate matter distribution patterns within the water column. The results show that: (1) because the upwelling or downwelling velocity tends to be of the same order of magnitude as the settling velocity of suspended particles, a number of different patterns of suspended matter concentration distribution are possible, depending on the relative importance of the velocities; (2) the presence of upwelling can enhance the suspended particulate matter concentration; and (3) in an upwelling-downwelling system, maximum concentrations may or may not lie in the middle of the water column, depending on, once again, the interrelationships between the opwelling/downwelling velocities and the settling velocity. Hence, the physical processes associated with upwelling/downwelling appear to be relevant to the suspended material distribution over shelf mud areas.

본 연구는 점착성 미립자의 침전률에 대한 플록의 영향에 관한 것이다. 연구 진행시 플록 밀도와 입경변화의 영향도 고려하였다. 플록입자의 침전속도는 정지수면에서 측정되었다. 플록 입경과 밀도는 수정된 Stokes방정식에 유체의 밀도, 입자의 밀도, 점성계수 및 측정된 침전속도와 입경과의 관계식으로부터 얻은 플록 차원을 이용하여 분석되었다. 석영과 알루미나의 플록지름은 초기농도가 증가함에 따라 증가되었으며, 염도농도의 증가에 따른 석영의 플록된 입경은 $0.8{\sim}10$ ${\mu}m$이다. 플록밀도는 입경이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 플록 침전속도와 입경의 관계는 로그표위에 직선식으로 표현된다. 플록 차원($=n_f$)은 초기농도가 증가할 경우 2.65이며, 염도가 증가할 때 2.93이다. 침전속도를 예측하기 위한 비례상수(n)는 제시되었으며, 그 범위는 $1{\sim}1.93$이다.

대전의 관평천에 설치된 1.8 m 높이의 침강 실험장치를 이용하여 총 4회에 걸쳐 강우 유출수를 채취하여 오염물질제거 효율 및 특성을 측정하였다. 오염물질 농도는 초기 4시간 동안 급격하게 감소하였으며 약 24시간 후 일정한 수준을 나타내는 경향을 보였다. 침전 실험 장치 내에서는 높이 별 농도가 크게 다르지 않은 것으로 관찰되었으며 이는 침전장치 내에서 대부분의 고형물질은 서로 방해하지 않고 독립적으로 침전하기 때문인 것으로 분석된다. 강우 유출수를 대상으로 분석한 입도는 $10{\sim}100{\mu}m$의 범위로 나타났다. 강우 유출수내에서 TP의 경우 입자성 물질이 평균 52.4%, TN의 경우 23.5%의 비율로 나타났으며 TN의 경우 침강에 의해 효율적으로 제거되기 어렵다는 것을 확인하여 주고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 초기 강우 유출수에 포함되어 있는 TSS와 TP와 같은 오염물질이 단순한 침강에 의해 효과적으로의 제거될 수 있다는 것을 나타내고 있으며 하천수질을 보호하는데 적극적으로 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

In order to measure the vertical fluxes of particles and reactive radionuclides such as thorium and polonium isotopes, Dunbar-type sediment traps were freely deployed at the Ulleung Basin and in warm and cold water masses around the polar front of the East Sea. We estimated the ratios of the catched (F) to the predicted $^234$Th fluxes (P) using natural tracers pair $^234$Th-$^238$U. The F/P ratios are decreased with increasing water depth. Whereas the concentrations of suspended particles are homogeneous in water column, the mass fluxes are also decreased with increasing water depth like the F/P ratios. These facts indicate that organic matters of settling particles are destructed within the euphotic layer due to decomposition. Whereas regenerations of sinking particles are negligible in the cold water mass, about 80% of them are regenerated in the warm water mass during falling of large particles. These downward mass fluxes are closely correlated with their primary productions in euphotic zone. The activities of $^234$Th, $^228$Th and $^210$Po in the sinking material were increased with water depth. Because $^234$Th steadily produced in the water column are cumulatively adsorbed on the surface of sinking particles, vertical $^234$Th fluxes were observed to increase with water depth. Therefore, these sinking particles play important roles in transporting the particle reactive elements like thorium from surface to the deep sea. The scavenging processes including adsorption and settling reactions generate radio-disequilibrium between daughter and parent nuclides in water column. The activity ratios of $^234$Th/$^238$U and $^228$Th/$^228$Ra were observed to be < 1.0 in the surface water and approached to be equilibrium below the thermocline. The extent of the deficiency of daughter nuclides compared to the parents nuclide was highly correlated with the vertical particle flux. Because most of the $^210$Po in the surface water are scavenged on a labile phase and are recycled at sub-surface depths (< 200 m), the $^210$Po are always observed to be excess activities compared to $^226$Ra in surface water.

Horizontal-Flow Roughing Filtration (HRF) is one of altemative pretreatment methods e.g. prior to Slow Sand Filtration (SSF). However, some of its limitations are that the effluent quality drops drastically at higher turbidity (>200 NTU) and at higher filtration rate (>1 m/h). To overcome these drawbacks, we suggested Direct Horizontal-Flow Roughing Filtration (DHRF), which is a modified system of Horizontal-Flow Roughing (HRF) by addition of low dose of coagulant prior to filtration. In this study to optimize the DHRF configuration, a conceptual and mathematical model for the coarse compartment has been developed in analogy with multi-plate settlers. Data from simple column settling test can be used in the model to predict the filter performance. Furthermore, the model developed herein has been validated by successive experiments carried out. The conventional column settling test has been found to be an handy and useful to predict the performance of DHRF for different raw water characteristics (e.g. coagulated or uncoagulated water, different presence of organic matter, etc.) and different inital process conditions (e.g. coagulant dose, mixing time and intensity, etc.). An optimum filter design for the coarse compartment (grain size 20mm) has been found to be of 3 m/h filtration rate with filter length of 4-4.5 m.

본 연구에서는 mesocosm을 이용하여, 습지내 인의 거동을 살펴보기 위한 현장실험 자료를 고찰하였으며, 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Mesocosm내 수체의 TP농도는 대조구인 M1에서는 $0.48\;mg\;L^{-1}$에서 $0.6\;mg\;L^{-1}$으로 증가한 반면, 처리구인 M2, M3, M4에서는 12.4, 20.4, $23.6\;mg\;L^{-1}$에서 1.92, 6.97, $6.94\;mg\;L^{-1}$로 감소되었고 TP 감소율은 M2, M3, M4에서 각각 84.5, 65.8, 70.6%로 평균 73.7%의 감소율을 보였다. 처리구 중 부착조류가 사멸하지 않은 M2와 대조구인 M1의 전체적인 물질 수지를 비교해 보면, M1의 경우는 부착조류에서의 인의 양이 소량 증가하였고, 갈대와 퇴적물에서의 인의 양은 소량 감소하였다. M1에서 부착조류의 인의 양이 늘어난 것은 대형수생식물이 고사기에 접어들어 습지내의 광조건이 충분해지면서 조류의 증가가 일어난 것이라 판단된다. M2의 경우엔 퇴적물내의 인의 총양은 5, 443 mg에서 8, 086 mg으로 증가하였고, 부착조류와 갈대 역시 각각 1, 147 mg, 1, 740 mg에서 2, 452 mg, 2.160 mg으로 증가하였다. 이로써 습지내 인의 거동에 있어 부착조류와 거대조류에 의한 인의 흡수와 침전 및 식물체에 의한 흡수가 주된 역할을 한다고 판단되며, 부착조류의 흡수가 활발했던 M2의 경우 TP 감소율이 85%에 이르고 부착조류의 흡수가 없었던 M3, M4에서 70% 이하의 TP 감소율을 나타낸 것을 볼 때, 침전과 식물체에 의한 흡수가 병행되는 것이 고농도의 TP처리에 상당히 효과적이라 생각된다. Mesocosm을 이용한 인의 이동경로 추정은 영향인자가 많은 습지내 오염물질 거동을 규명하는 매우 유용한 방법이라 판단되며, 그 결과는 인공습지를 조성하여 활용하는 데 필요한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

One of the issues with clayey soils, particularly those with significant quantities of organic matter, is the creep settling problem. Clay soils can be strengthened using a variety of techniques, one of which is the use of stone columns. Prior research involved foundation loading when the soil beds were ready and confined in one-dimensional consolidation chambers. In this study, a particular methodology is used to get around the model's frictional resistance issue. Initially, specimens were prepared via static compaction, and they were then re-consolidated inside a sizable triaxial cell while under isotropic pressure. With this configuration, the confining pressure can be adjusted, the pore water pressure beneath the foundation can be measured, and the spacemen's lateral border may be freely moved. This paper's important conclusions include the observation that secondary settlement declines with area replacement ratio. Because of the composite ground's increasing stiffness, the length to diameter ratio (l/d) and the stone column to sample height ratio (Hc/Hs) both increase. The degree of improvement varies from 12.4 to 55% according to area replacement ratio and (l/d) ratio.

An analytical model for predicting the convection-diffusion of solute dumped in a homogeneous open sea of constant water depth has been developed in a time-integral form. The model incorporates spatially uniform, uni-directional, mean and oscillatory currents for horizontal convection, the settling velocity for the vertical convection, and the anisotropic turbulent diffusion. Two transformations were introduced to reduce the convection-diffusion equation to the Fickian type diffusion equation, and then the Galerkin method was then applied via the expansion of eigenfunctions over the water column derived from the Sturm-Liouville problem. A series of calculations has been performed to demonstrate the applicability of the model.

Hydraulic dredgers(Hopper dredger) are the most important piece of equipment in the entire harbor engineering field, and most suitable for the removal of sand and weakly consloidated sediment such as silt. In maintenance dredging, specially confined harbor or congested passage area, Hopper dredger is user most popularly because less obstruction and danger to navigation than other mostly stationary dredgers. Investigation of the physical behave of dredged material disposal in coastal water from the Hopper dredger includes estimations of pattern as well as thickness of material on the bottom. Calculation based on vertical settling and horizontal advection of single particles ignore the effects of bulk properties of the disposed marterial, vertical and horizontal diffusion. and material dilution due to the entrainment of ambient water during descent. This paper focuses on the analysis of dredging and dumping characteristics and the spatial and temporal changes in the dumping fields for the water column and bottom at a hypothetically confined coastal water. This model accounts the behavior of material after release from the hopper dredger. It is shown that the model describes the qualitative feature of prototype dumping process and its response.
