사무용 고지의 상당량을 차지하는 복사고지는 열과 압력으로 융착된 합성고분자 물질인 토너를 함유하고 있으며 이들 토너는 펄핑 후 크고 판상 형태의 잉크 입자를 형성하 여 기존의 부유부상법으로 제거가 곤란한 문제점을 지니고 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하 는 방안으로 응집제를 이용하는 방법을 검토하였다. 복사기용 인쇄 잉크로 널리 사용되는 토너 업자는 낮은 표면에너지를 가지는 소수 성 물질이므로 같은 표면 특성을 가지는 소수성 물질과 서로 잘 결합한다. 따라서 소수성의 응집제를 이용하면 분리된 토너 잉크업자를 응집시킬 수 있으며, 응집된 토너 응집체는 스 크린 또는 클리닝 같은 정선 공정을 이용하여 제거가 가능할 것이다. 따라서 복사고지를 효 과적으로 재활용할 수 있는 탈묵방법으로 응집제를 이용하여 토너 입자를 조대한 웅집체로 형성시키고 이를 기존 탈묵방법인 스크린처리로 제거하는 방법을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 고급알코올의 하나언 1 -octadecanol을 이용하여 기존의 탈묵 방법 인 부유부상법으로는 제거가 곤란한 토너 잉크의 업자를 웅집시켜 구형의 조대한 응집체로 형성시켜 이를 제거하는 기술에 대하여 연구하였다. 펄핑 시의 온도를 70C의 고온으로 설 정한 경우 토너 입자가 유리전이온도에 이르게 되며 이들 토너 입자는 응집제에 의하여 웅 집되어 구형으로 성장하는 특정이 뚜렷하였으며, 토너 응집체의 크기는 최대 800 µm에 이 르기까지 조대하게 성장하였다. 또한 슬롯 폭 $250\mu\textrm{m}$의 진동 스크린 처리에 의한 토너 제 거 효율 측정 결과 역시 이들 토너 업자 웅집체의 형태가 구형임을 보여주었다. 해리 및 응 집 처 리 시 의 pH를 3으로 조정 하였을 때 토너 입 자가 웅집 제인 1 -octadecanol에 의 해 가장 효과적으로 구형의 조대한 웅집체를 이루는 것으로 나타났으며, 스크련을 통한 토너 웅집체 제거효율이 향상되었다. 복사고지 내에 포함되어 있는 전분 또는 사이즈제는 웅집 효과를 떨어뜨리는 주요 인으로 나타났다.

에어로졸의 물리적, 화학적 특성은 주로 입자의 크기 분포와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 따라서 시간에 따른 입자의 크기분포의 변화를 아는 것은 중요한 문제로서, 입자에 작용하는 중력이나, 전기적인 힘, 입자간의 상대속도 등에 의해 입자의 크기분포는 달라질 수가 있다. 이러한 입자간의 상호작용으로 인해 서로 충돌하여 합쳐지는 것으로 이를 응집(Coagulation)이라 한다. (M.M.R. Williams, 1988) (중략)

The agglomeration of titania particles with 30 nm in radii was simulated based on the colloidal stability. For surface potential increase from 4.5 to 16.8 mV the height of energy barrier increased. This tendency may explain the experimentally observed aggregation behavior where particles with smaller size and higher potential exhibited higher stability but form bigger and harder agglomerates with irregular shapes after drying.

Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) in the water environment assemble fine, colloidal particles, such as clays, microorganisms and biomass, in large flocs, which are eventually subject to sedimentation and deposition and determine water/sediment quality and quantity. This study hence aimed to investigate the way that water and colloidal chemistry affects EPS-mediated flocculation of colloidal particles, using a jar-test experiment. Especially, ionic strength, divalent cation and humic substances concentrations were selected as experimental variables in the jar-test experiments, to elucidate their effects on EPS-mediated flocculation. A higher ionic strength increased flocculation capability, reducing electrostatic repulsion between EPS-attached colloidal particles and enhancing particle aggregation. 0.1 M NaCl ionic strength had higher flocculation capability, with 3 times larger floc size and 2.5 times lower suspended solid concentration, than 0.001 M NaCl. Divalent cations, such as $Ca^{2+}$, built divalent cationic bridges between colloidal particles and EPS (i.e., $colloid-Ca^{2+}-EPS$ or $EPS-Ca^{2+}-EPS$) and hence made colloidal particles to build into large, settelable flocs. A small $Ca^{2+}$ concentration enhanced flocculation capability, reducing suspended solid concentration 20 times lower than the initial dosed concentration. However, humic substances, adsorbed on colloidal particles, reduced flocculation, because they blocked EPS adsorption on colloidal particles and increased negative charges and electrostatic repulsion of colloidal particles. Suspended solid concentration in the tests with humic substances remained as high as the initial dosed concentration, indicating stabilization rather than flocculation. Findings about EPS-mediated flocculation in this research will be used for better understanding the fate and transport of colloidal particles in the water environment and for developing the best management practices for water/sediment quality.

The study of flocculation kinetics is of fundamental interest in the field of water treatment, because rational study of the factors affecting the coagulation process should be based on the rate of particle growth. The effect of sulfate on flocculation kinetics were examined using ferric nitrate as a coagulant to coagulate kaolin clay in water under several experimental conditions. Both the particle size distribution data obtained from the AIA and the on-line measurement of turbidity fluctuation by the PDA were used to measure flocculation kinetics. Results show that sulfate ion added to the kaolin suspension played an important role in the flocculation process, not only improving flocculation kinetics at more acidic pH levels but also changing surface charge of particles. The kinetics of flocculation were improved mainly by the enhanced rate and extent of Fe(III) precipitation attributed to the addition of sulfate, and thereby, better interparticle collision frequency, but little by the charge reductions resulting from the sulfate addition. The increase in sulfate concentration beyond $3\times10^{-4}M (up to 2\times10^{-3}M)$ did not induce further improvement in flocculation kinetics, although the higher concentrations of sulfate ion substantially increased the negative ZP value of particles. Key Words : Flocculation Kinetics, Fe(III) Coagulant, Sulfate ion, Turbidity Fluctuation.

This research carried out to evaluate the disadvantage of pre-chlorination and the effect of polyamine as coagulant aids for treating the blooming water with Microcystis sp.. Pre-chlorination on blooming water makes the colony of Microcystis sp. to the smaller size. Coagulation with polyamine advanced treatment efficiency not only turbidity but also particulate matters especially less then $5{\mu}m$ size for the blooming water compared with using alum alone. Particle count was more sensitive than turbidity on water quality management of settlement and filtrate.

This study is unrefined ZnO, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles is expose M4 medium to search nanoparticle aggregation and Daphnia magna was any effect by immobilization and mortality. ZnO and $TiO_2$ nanoparticle powder-size is respectively 20 nm and 40 nm. but, M4 medium has about respectively as 1333 nm and 1628 nm, 40 to 70 times were agglomerated. Immobilization of ZnO and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was influenced both time and concentration the higher to swimming of D.magna. Especially, The immobilization of D.magna in nano-ZnO is greater than that influence in nano-$TiO_2$. Mortality of ZnO nanoparticle is higher rate at long time and high concentration. $TiO_2$ nanoparticle observed mortality at 10ppm concentration after 72h. Consequently, when Nanoparticles is introduced into ocean. Particle size become grow. Additionally, aggregation be caused affect aquatic ecosystems.

Characteristics of flocculent aggregates have great effects on membrane fouling. Floc from kaolin particles gave higher permeate throughputs than floc from natural particles at the same conditions. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to thoroughly analyze characteristics of flocculated aggregates and to investigate effects of flocculated aggregates on membrane fouling. Image analysis, specific rake resistance and cake compressibility were used for characterization of flocs. Different flocculent aggregates formed with natural and kaolin particles were employed in this study. The fractal dimensions from the image analysis were $D_2=1.79{\pm}0.07$ for floc from natural particles and $D_2=1.84{\pm}0.06$ for floc from kaolin particles. The lower fractal dimension($D_2$) of floc from natural particles indicated that the aggregates were more porous and less compact than floe from kaolin particles. In addition, both the specific cake resistances and compressible degrees of flocs from natural particles showed greater values than those of flocs from kaolin particles. The results implied that the porous and loose flocs from natural particles were more easily compressed on membrane surface than the dense and compact flocs from kaolin particles. The compressed flocs yielded the great hydraulic resistances by hindering the water flow through the cake layer.

Grouting is reinforcement or cutoff method which uses the hardening agent which is typically represented by portland cement and injected into the ground or the structure. When mixing the cement in powder form with water, the particles tend to cohere each other. Once they cohered, the particle size tends to become larger while injection efficiency becomes lower. This study, in a bid to reduce the cohesion of cement, the screen was set inside the grout mixer so that the cement particles are separated while vibrating them. To validate the effect of vibration screen, comparison test was conducted by using ordinary portland cement, slag cement and micro cement. Viscosity test, bleeding test and grain-size analysis indicated that the characteristics varied significantly after passing through the vibration filter. It is expected that the vibration filter installed inside the grout mixer will reduce the cement cohesion when mixing with water.
