In this study, a hydrocyclone operated by centrifugal force was examined as a part of dredge system of lake sediments. It does not help dehydration of the sediments, but also enables the classification of fine particles in the stable and sanitary treatment. Several experiments were performed focusing on the separation efficiency under the condition of room temperature with virtual sediment samples and simulated particles. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the apex size of the cyclone greatly affected the cut diameter(d$_{50}$), and high density particles were separated more effectively.y.

전기분해에 의한 부상현상을 이용하여 토양세정 후 발생되는 유출수 중의 유수를 분리하기 위한 적정 운전조건에 관하여 고찰하였다. 전압에 의한 유수분리 효율을 관찰한 결과, 전기분해 1시간 후 3V의 전압만으로도 88% 정도의 제거율을 나타내었으며 6V 이상의 전압에서는 90% 정도로 거의 비슷한 제거율을 나타내어 대부분의 에멀젼이 분리됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 동일조건에서는 전기분해 시간이 경과될 수록 분리효율이 향상되었으며, 전극 간격이 넓어질수록 같은 효율을 얻기 위해 소요되는 전압의 크기가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 전기분해 시 양극에서는 OH$^{-}$의 방전으로 발생되는 산소에 의해 산화반응이 일어나며, 음극에서는 H$^{+}$가 방전되어 발생되는 수소에 의해 환원반응이 일어나며 미세한 기포가 형성된다. 유분의 부상분리 현상은 유분의 (-)charge와 전기분해에 의해서 발생되는 양이온의 결합으로 인한 중화반응 및 음극에서 발생되는 미세 수소기포로 인만 부상분리가 대부분을 차지하며, 전압 및 전기분해 시간이 증가하고 전극 간격이 좁을수록 음극에서 발생되는 미세기포의 양이 증가되어 부상효과가 크게 나타나는 것으로 판단된다. 전극 종류는 구리 > 알루미늄 > 철 > 티타늄 순으로 효율을 나타내었으며, 이는 양극으로 사용된 이러한 금속들의 전기전도도 차이에 의해 일어나는 현상으로 판단된다

The aim of this study was to produce Aminotosan$^{(R)}$ fertilizer using optimized chitosan coagulant from waste livestock blood. Amino-acid fertilizer was produced by pretreated livestock blood. Chitosan coagulant was aggregated with amino-acid fertilizer to produce Aminotosan$^{(R)}$. Optimized coagulation conditions were set using chitosan coagulant such as 10% citric acid and 500 ppm chitosan coagulant by analysis of CST and TTF. The efficiency of coagulation by chitosan coagulant under the optimal conditions was better than chemical coagulants. After solid/liquid separation for coagulated amino-acid fertilizer, Aminotosan$^{(R)}$ fertilizer which added eco-friendly and aesthetic functions was produced.

The soil sample obtained from shooting area contaminated with Pb, Cu, and Zn was investigated to determine the chemical forms of heavy metals with Tessier’s sequential extraction method, which is constituted of five fractions such as ‘exchangeable’, ‘bound to carbonate’, ‘bound to oxide’, ‘bound to organic matter’, and residual fractions. The amount of organic matter was measured by loss on ignition (LOI) and then the results of ‘bound to organic matter’ and LOI were compared. The sequential extraction results show that 4.7%-45% of Pb, 6.2%-25.9% of Cu and 3.9%-15.3% of Zn belong to the ‘bound to organic matter’ fraction, but LOI result shows that only 1.0%-2.8% of organic matter exists in the soil sample. In heavy medium separation tests, because Pb and Cu extracted in ‘bound to organic matter’ and residual fractions were removed, the heavy metals in the fractions would exist as heavier forms. These results suggest that the part of heavy metal extracted in ‘bound to organic matter’ fraction would result from the oxidation of metallic forms by hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid used in the fraction, and, consequently, that the ‘bound to organic matter’ fraction should be investigated in detail to determine the removal method and treatment capacity when the Tessier’s sequential extraction method is used to examine heavy metal contaminants resulted from elemental metal like bullets.

Pseudomonas sp. KM1 was separated from soil contaminated by petroleum and identified. The isolated strain is Gram-positive, rod-shaped and immotile. In batch culture, the optimum cultivation temperature and pH was $35^{\circ}C$ and 7, respectively. Biodegradation of PAHs experiment with soil slurry system was performed using Pseudomonas sp. KM1. Pseudomonas sp. KM1 could degrade 7 PAHs including naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and fluoranthene. These mixed PAHs was easily degraded within one day except fluoranthene, which was degraded much slowly, taking several days by this isolated bacteria. Pseudomonas sp. KM1 is good candidate for bioremediation of PAHs contaminated soils. Biodegradation rates of naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene in soils were different at each soil, and the rates were decreased as sorption capacity increased.

In this paper, the errors found in the existed analytical solutions described the mechanism of residual pore-water pressure accumulation were examined and a new analytical was proposed. The new analytical solution was derived by using a Fourier series expansion and separation of variables was verified by comparison with the existed both analytical and numerical solutions and experimental result. The new analytical solution is very simple that there is no need for numerical integration for deep soil thickness. In addition, the solutions of the residual pore-water pressure for finite, deep, and shallow soil thickness reveled that it is possible to approach from finite to shallow soil thickness, but not possible to deep soil thickness because there was discontinues zone between finite and deep soil thickness.

In this study a conceptual soil water model is proposed to simulate water balance at catchment scale. The model is based on the sequential separation of daily precipitation into surface runoff, wetting, vaporization, and percolation. The proposed model is calibrated by using three observation sets: empirically estimated annual vaporization, monthly wetting estimated by NRCS-CN method, and both of them. The model performance is evaluated to understand which hydrologic components for calibrating the model are needed. It is shown that both of annual vaporization and monthly wetting are indispensable hydrologic components to simulate reasonably precipitation partitioning.

The steady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out to evaluate the velocity fields around the seabed tiller used for the improvement of the seabed soil and the pulling force and buoyancy generated by driving the seabed tiller. The turbulence model used in this study is a realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ well known to be excellent for predicting the performance of the flow separation and recirculation flow as well as the boundary layer with rotation and strong back pressure gradient. As a results, a typical vortex pair appears near the adjacent rotor vane tip. When the current is stopped, there is no force when pulling the seabed tiller, but when the current flows at 1.2 knots, the force acts on the downstream side and the pulling force is much greater. In stationary currents, the buoyancy of the seabed tiller acts more strongly towards the seabed as the number of rotations of the rotor increases, but acts more strongly toward the sea surface at 1.2 knots of current.

Accurate prediction of the fate and transport of contaminants in soils and sediments is very Important to environmental risk assessment and effective remediation of contaminated soils and sediments. The fate and transport of contaminants in subsurface are affected by geosorbents, especially carbonaceous materials including black carbon. Various physical and chemical treatment methods have been developed to separate different kinds of carbonaceous materials from soils and sediments. However, the effects of these separation methods on the properties of remaining carbonaceous materials including sorption capacity and linearity are unclear. The objective of this study is to determine if the chemical and thermal treatment methods previously used to separate different carbonaceous material fractions affect the properties of carbonaceous materials including longer term sorption capacity of hydrophobic organic contaminants. The results indicate that treatments with hydrochloric acid (HCl)/hydrofluoric acid (HF), trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) may not affect the sorption capacity of black carbon reference materials such as char and soot, however, treatments with acid dichromate $(K_2Cr_2O_7/H_2SO_4)$ and heat $(375^{\circ}C)$ for 24 hours in sufficient of oxygen) decrease the sorption capacity of them. The results of longer term sorption isotherm indicate that 2 days might be enough for trichloroethene (TCE) to equilibrate apparently with treated black carbon reference materials. The results suggest that acid dichromate and heat treatments may not appropriate method to investigate sorption properties of black carbon in soils and sediments.
