Background: Disinfection is essential to provide drinking water from a water source. The disinfection process mainly consists of the use of chlorine and ozone, but when chlorine is used as a disinfectant, the problem of disinfection by-products arises. In order to resolve the issue of disinfection by-products, electro-chlorination technology that produces chlorine-based disinfectants from salt water through electrochemical principles should be applied. Objectives: This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic NaCl solutions using an electro-chlorination system through RSM. Methods: Response surface methodology (RSM) has been used for modeling and optimizing a variety of water and wastewater treatment processes. This study surveys the possibility of optimally producing active chlorine from synthetic saline solutions using electrolysis through RSM. Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. Results: Various operating parameters, such as distance of electrodes, sodium chloride concentration, electrical potential, and electrolysis time were evaluated. A central composite design (CCD) was applied to determine the optimal experimental factors for chlorine production. Conclusions: The concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution and the distance between electrodes had the greatest influence on the generation of hypochlorite disinfectant. The closer the distance between the electrodes and the higher the concentration of the synthetic NaCl solution, the more hypochlorous acid disinfectant was produced.

The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the bleaching efficacy of three nonvital bleaching techniques: Walking bleaching, Walking bleaching and heat application, and Walking bleaching and bleaching light application. 36 extracted anterior teeth with intact crowns were immersed in 5 % sodium hypochlorite solution for twenty-four hours to loosen extrinsic debris. Lingual access openings were prepared in all teeth and the pulps were extirpated. The teeth were stored in 5% sodium hypochlorite for twenty-four hours to open the dentinal tubules and they were stained via whole blood. Once the teeth were stained, they were evaluated with Colorimeter. The teeth in each group were ranked from lightest to darkest and divided equally into three experimental groups in which the following bleaching techniques were used. Intracoronal base was placed 2mm below cementoenamel junction. Group 1 Walking bleaching (Superoxol + Sodium perborate) Group 2 Heat application + Walking bleaching (Superoxol+Sodium perborate) Group 3 Light application+Walking bleaching (Superoxol+Sodium perborate) The bleaching agents were changed every 3 days and the teeth were bleached for a total of 14 days. The teeth were evaluated with Colorimeter before the start of any bleaching and on day 14. The results were as follows: 1. At the end of 14 days, all the sample teeth demonstrated the increase of Lightness Index at cervical 1/3 of crown (p<0.05) Lightness Index was significant difference in group 2 and 3, but there were some minor differences among groups (p>0.05). 2. In all groups, there was significant difference in red chromacity (p<0.05), but there were some minor differences among groups (p>0.05). 3. In all groups, there was no significant difference in yellow chromacity (p>0.05).

Objectives: This study evaluated the maximum depth and percentage of irrigant penetration into dentinal tubules by passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). Materials and Methods: Thirty extracted human teeth were instrumented and divided into three groups. According to final irrigation regimen, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (Group A, NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (Group B, CHX) and saline solution (Group C, control group) were applied with Irrisafe 20 tips (Acteon) and PUI. Irrigant was mixed with 0.1% rhodamine B. Sections at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm from the apex were examined with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The percentage and maximum depth of irrigant penetration were measured. Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test were performed for overall comparison between groups at each level and for pairwise comparison, respectively. Within a group, Wilcoxon test was performed among different levels. p values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Results: In all groups, highest penetration depth and percentage of penetration were observed at the 8 mm level. At 2 mm level, Groups A and B had significantly greater depths and percentages in penetration than Group C (p < 0.05), but there were no significant differences between Groups A and B. At 5 mm level, penetration depths and percentage of penetration was not significantly different among the groups. Conclusions: NaOCl and CHX applied by PUI showed similar depth and percentage of penetration at all evaluated levels.

The purposes of this study were to establish washing conditions for vegetable salad to reduce the microbial hazard by using sodium hypochlorite solution and eventually to implement HACCP for salad processing. By using the salad production line of Shinkeum Co. located in Gwacheon, Gyunggi-do, salad samples were washed under several washing conditions (chlorine dip period, chlorine concentration, rinse time, etc.) to determine the most effective conditions. The original washing line consisted of 3 baths (100 ppm chlorine water dip, water rinse, and water rinse), each with a capacity of 100 L of tap water and 5 kg of salad. First, the salad samples were washed with 100 ppm of sodium hypochlorite solution for various dip times (3, 6, 9, 12 min); however, only a 1 log- or less-reduction in total microbial counts was achieved in all groups and the time of chlorine water dip was not a significant factor in reducing the microbial hazard. When another water bath was added before the chlorine water dip (4-bath washing), a 2 log-reduction in total microbial counts was achieved. This result suggested the importance of pre-dipping salad materials in water before chlorine treatment to reduce the organic load on the surface of the vegetables. Coliforms were not detected at all after washing. As the concentration of chlorine $(50{\sim}150\;ppm)$ and rinse time $(0.5{\sim}2\;min)$ increased, greater microbial reduction was achieved; however, physical damage of the salad was observed. Finally, the optimum washing conditions for salad were determined as 3 min-water dip, 3 min-chlorine (100 ppm) dip, 2 min-rinse, and 2 min-rinse.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of passive ultrasonic agitation on the cleaning capacity of a hybrid instrumentation technique. Materials and Methods: Twenty mandibular incisors with mesiodistal-flattened root shape had their crowns sectioned at 1 mm from the cementoenamel junction. Instrumentation was initiated by catheterization with K-type files (Denstply Maillefer) #10, #15, and #20 at 3 mm from the working length. Cervical preparation was performed with Largo bur #1 (Dentsply Maillefer) followed by apical instrumentation with K-type files #15, #20 and #25, and finishing with ProTaper F2 file (Denstply Maillefer). All files were used up to the working length under irrigation with 1 mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (Biodyn$\hat{a}$mica) at each instrument change. At the end of instrumentation, the roots were randomly separated into 2 groups (n = 10). All specimens received final irrigation with 1 mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. The solution remained in the root canals in Group 1 for one minute; and ultrasonic agitation was performed in Group 2 for one minute using a straight tip inserted at 1 mm from working length. The specimens were processed histologically and the sections were analyzed under optic microscope (x64) to quantify debris present in the root canal. Results: The samples submitted to ultrasonic agitation (Group 2) presented significant decrease in the amount of debris in comparison with those of Group 1 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The hybrid instrumentation technique associated with passive ultrasonic agitation promoted greater debris removal in the apical third of the root canals.

This study was carried to figure out the effect of bleaching on the cationic surfactant (DSDMAC) absorption by cotton fabrics. And physico-chemical change, static electricity, and fabric stiffness of bleached cotton fabrics were measured. Cotton fabrics bleached with sodium hypochlorite soluton and with sodium percarbonate solution were used to analyze the DADMAC absorption. The results were as follows: 1. As the number of bleaching cycles were increased, the degree of oxidation on cotton fabrics was increased. So their carboxyl content was increased and their tensile strength was decreased. 2. DSDMAC absorption by cotton fabrics was increased by bleaching and was in propor- tion to carboxyl content. Therefore, it was groved that DSDMAC absorption by cotton fabrics was motivated by ion exchange mechanism. 3. The static electricity of cotton fabrics almost no change when bleached and unbleached absorption had no effect on the static electricity of cotton fabrics. 4. DSDMAC which was absorbed by cotton fabrics acted as a lubricant. DSDMAC absorption reduced the friction coefficient of yarn, so stiffness of cotton fabric was decreased.

차아염소산나트륨(NaClO)은 병원 및 식품산업 분야에서 널리 사용되는 소독제로 세균, 곰팡이, 바이러스에 대해서도 항균 활성이 있다. 차아염소산나트륨의 항균 활성은 용액의 pH에 의해 조절되는 안정적인 HClO 농도의 유지에 있다. 차아염소산(HClO)은 화학적으로 중성이므로 세균의 막에 쉽게 침투할 수 있으며 차아염소산나트륨의 항균 활성은 차아염소산염 이온(ClO^-)보다는 용액 내 HClO 농도에 의존하리라 사료된다. 본 연구에서 pH 조절에 따른 차아염소산나트륨의 항균 활성을 time kill test와 차아염소산나트륨 처리 전후의 활성산소종(ROS) 및 ATP 농도 변화로 조사하였다. 또한 전계방출형 주사 전자 현미경(FE-SEM)을 통하여 세포벽의 파괴정도를 확인하였다. pH 5 조건에서 5 ppm 차아염소산나트륨은 Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) 균에 대하여 99.9%의 항균 활성을 나타내었고, ROS 생성량은 pH 7 조건보다 48% 증가하였다. 또한, pH 5 조건의 차아염소산나트륨에 노출된 E. coli와 S. aureus의 ATP 농도가 각각 94%와 91% 감소하였다. FE-SEM 결과, pH 5 조건에 노출된 균의 세포벽이 파괴된 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과를 종합해보면, pH를 조절하는 것 만으로 5 ppm 농도의 차아염소산나트륨의 항균 활성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.
