I-D-F curves were induced by Box-Cox transformation using rainfall data from five major cities in Korea: Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Gwangju, as well as from Sancheong (South Gyeongsang province) and Yeongcheon (North Gyeongsang province) stations. The practicality of the Box-Cox transformation is more scalable than the traditional method of frequency analysis in terms of applicability because it is available even if the analysis data are insufficient to perform general frequency analysis and do not produce an appropriate probability density function. For the case in which rainfall data for the entire period (10-1440 minutes) and short-term period (20, 30, 40, 50 minutes) at the foregoing 7 stations are omitted, there was a relative error of -23.0 % to 14.7 % at a duration of 10 to 60 minutes below the 100-year frequency. Accordingly, rainfall analysis requires inducing I-D-F curves, including for the short term (20, 30, 40, 50 minutes), and if rainfall data are omitted for the short term (20, 30, 40, 50 minutes), it is necessary to increase the existing margin rate depending on the point in order to ensure the safe design of small-scale hydraulic structures.

A new graphical method was developed to separate two distinctive decay rate coefficients($k_1$ and $k_2$) at their respective degradable substrate fractions($S_1 and $S_2$). The mesophilic batch reactor showed $k_1$ of $0.151\;day^{-1}$ for wasted activated sludge(WAS), $0.123\;day^{-1}$ for thickened sludge(T-S), $0.248{\sim}0.358\;day^{-1}$ at S/I ratio of $1{\sim}3$ for sorghum and $0.155{\sim}0.209\;day^{-1}$ at S/I ratio $0.2{\sim}1.0$ for swine waste, whereas their long term batch decay rate coefficients($k_2$) were $0.021\;day^{-1}$, $0.001\;day^{-1}$, $0.03\;day^{-1}$ and $0.04\;day^{-1}$ respectively. At least an order of magnitude difference between $k_1$ and $k_2$ was routinely observed in the batch tests. The portion of $S_1$, which degrades with each $k_1$ appeared 71% for WAS, 39% for T-S, 90% for sorghum, and $84{\sim}91%$ at S/I ratio of $0.2{\sim}1.0$ for swine waste. Ultimate biodegradabilities of 50% for WAS, 40% of T-S, $82{\sim}92%$ for sorghum, and $81{\sim}89%$ for swine waste were observed.

In order to study the degradation pattern of propanil in solution, the environmental factors such as temperature, pH and UV irradiation effect on propanil degradation were investigated. The degradation of propanil in solution was more rapid in high temperature than in low. The production amount of DCA was increased in high temperature, and then was decreased in a certain period of time because of conversion to TCAB, but the concentration of TCAB was maintained without more degradation. Propanil was rapidly hydrolyzed in alkaline solution as well as in strong acidic solution. Degradation product, DCA was rapidly produced and condensed to TCAB in strong acidic and alkaline condition. On exposur to ultraviolet light, 90% of original propanil was degraded within 20minutes, 0.3 ppm of DCA was produced in 10 minutes, and maintained the concentration throughout irradiation times.

In this study, rare earth elements (REE) leaching from a refractory REE ore containing goethite as a major gangue mineral was conducted, introducing a two-stage method of chemical decomposition-acid leaching. At the chemical decomposition step, using one of alkaline agent, NaOH, the ore was decomposed, changing NaOH concentration from 20 to 50 wt% at 10% (w/w) of pulp density and the maximum temperature achieved without boiling at each NaOH concentration. With increasing NaOH concentration, light REE (Ce, La and Nd) and iron were concentrated in the solid phase which is the decomposed product, while aluminum (Al) and phosphorus (P) were removed to the liquid phase, and their concentrations in the solid phase were down to 0.96 and 0.17%, respectively. In addition, through XRD analysis, it was found that the crystallinity of goethite was considerably decreased. At the acid leaching step, the product decomposed by 50 wt% NaOH was leached at 3.0 M HCl and 80 ℃ for 3 hr, then the REE leaching efficiency was above 94% (Ce 80%), and the leaching efficiencies of Al and P were decreased to 12 and 0%, respectively. Therefore, in terms of both REE leaching efficiency and impurity removal, those decomposition and leaching conditions were chosen as optimum processing methods of the investigated material. In terms of REE leaching mechanism, because REE and iron leaching efficiencies showed the positive correlation each other, so it can be concluded that decreasing crystallinity of goethite affect the improvement of REE leaching.

In this study, we investigated the ozone nanobubble process in which nanobubble and ultrasonic cavitation were applied simultaneously to improve the dissolution and self-decomposition of ozone. To confirm the organic decomposition efficiency of the process, a 200 mm × 200 mm × 300 mm scale reactor was designed and phenol decomposition experiments were conducted. The use of nanobubble was 2.07 times higher than the conventional ozone aeration in the 60 minutes reaction and effectively improved the dissolution efficiency of ozone. Ultrasonic irradiation increased phenol degradation by 36% with nanobubbles, and dissolved ozone concentration was lowered due to the promotion of ozone self-decomposition. The higher the ultrasonic power was, the higher the phenol degradation efficiency. The decomposition efficiency of phenol was the highest at 132 kHz. The ozone nanobubble process showed better decomposition efficiency at high pH like conventional ozone processes but achieved 100% decomposition of phenol after 60 minutes reaction even at neutral conditions. The effect by pH was less than that of the conventional ozone process because of self-decomposition promotion. To confirm the change in bubble properties by ultrasonic irradiation, a Zetasizer was used to measure the bubbles' size and zeta potential analysis. Ultrasonic irradiation reduced the average size of the bubbles by 11% and strengthened the negative charge of the bubble surface, positively affecting the gas transfer of the ozone nanobubble and the efficiency of the radical production.

방향족 화합물인 폴리염화비페닐(PCB)은 비페닐 기본골격의 10개소의 탄소에 1개에서부터 10개까지의 염소가 치환되어 있는 물질로써 그 독성과 잔류성으로 인해 중대한 환경오염물질의 하나로 주목받고 있다. 폴리염화비페닐에 의한 환경오염은 수질오염으로 이어지며, 식물연쇄에 의해 어류의 경우 그 농축계수가 10만 정도까지 이른다고 한다. 이러한 현상은 육상에서도 일어나며 생물농축과 식물연쇄에 의해 결국 식품을 오염시키게 된다. 이와 같은 난분해성 오염물질의 정화에는 미생물이 가지고 있는 분해능력이 큰 역할을 담당한다는 것이 알려져 있다. 1970년대 토양으로부터 비페닐을 분해ㆍ이용할 수 있는 비페닐 자화성균이 단리된 이후, 호기적으로 폴리염화비페닐을 분해하는 균을 중심으로 연구가 행해져 왔으며 방향족 화합물에 있어서의 대사 경로 등이 밝혀지게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 폴리염화비페닐을 분해하는 능력을 가지는 분해균을 모델로 하여 다양한 환경하에서 폴리염화비페닐을 분해ㆍ대사 할 수 있는 미생물의 분리를 시도하였다. 그 결과 클로로비페닐 분해능을 가진 Gram 양성균을 단리하는데 성공하였고, 이 균이 Bacillus속의 미생물인 것을 확인하였다.

토양 오염의 주된 원인인 디젤은 휘발성과 용해도가 낮아 생물학적 처리법이 많이 이용된다. 생물학적 처리에서 Bioavailability 는 생분해의 속도에 영향을 미치며 유효성평가에 있어 중요하다. 디젤로 오염된 토양의 생분해 특성 및 Bioavailability를 평가하기 위하여 생분해 실험과 mass transfer 실험을 수행하였다. 생분해 속도와 mass transfer 속도의 비교를 통해 생분해 초기에는 mass transfer에 의해 그 속도가 부분적으로 제한을 받으나, 일정시간 후에는 mass transfer 속도에 의해 생분해 속도가 결정되어짐을 알 수 있었다. Multi -component 인 디젤 성분에서의 mass transfer 의 영향을 알기 위해 각 성분별에 따라 조사한 결과, linear H.C 성분과 고 휘발성 성분은 생분해 속도가 초기에는 mass transfer 에 의해 부분적으로 제한되고 후에 mass transfer 에 의해 결정되어지나, tracked H.C 성분과 저휘발성 성분은 전체적으로 mass transfer 에 의해 생분해 속도가 제한되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

교류 펄스전압을 이용한 글라이딩 아크 플라즈마를 이용하여 PFCs(Perfluoro compounds) 가스의 일종인 $CF_4$ $SF_6$, $NF_3$를 가스분해하는 연구를 실시하였다. 반응기 양전극 사이에 인가되는 전압은 10kV로 고정하고 각각의 가스의 유량을 조절하여 분해한후 FT-IR을 통해 각각의 가스의 분해율과 분해후 가스내 성분을 스펙트럼을 이용하여 분석하였다. 유량이 낮아질수록 분해율은 좋아졌고 $SF_6$와 $NF_3$의 경우 99%이상의 높은 분해율에 도달하였을 뿐 아니라 대표적인 난분해 가스로 손꼽히는 $CF_4$의 경우 82%이상의 분해율을 확인하였다.
