Surface modification of a hydrophobic acrylic polymer film has been performed through simple chemical treatment to give a reactive surface. 2-Triphenylstannylthioethyl acrylate was polymerized under UV-illumination with various contents of a comonomer. When the polymer film was treated with fluoride ion, thiol functional group (SH) was generated on the film surface, which was observed through infrared absorption spectroscopy. The surface was functionalized by thiol addition reaction to acrylic chromophores. The SH content on the surface was controlled with a comonomer, tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane triacrylate, and examined with UV-Vis absorbance of the chromophore attached film. Similarly, a polymer film from 2-tributylstannylthioethyl acrylate was prepared. Destannylation from the triphenylstannyl and tributylstannyl surface completed after 30 and 5 min, respectively. The SH-exposed surface was modified with an isocyanate attached chromophore within 10 min, while acrylic chromophore required 24 h.

The photocatalytic degradation of livestock wastewater has been investigated over $TiO_2$ photocatalysts irradiated with a ultraviolet (UV) light. The effect of operational parameters, i.e., distance, reaction area, concentration of suspended solids(SS), and column diameter on the degradation of livestock wastewater has been performed in lab-scale. The optimal conditions for livestock wastewater were determined: distance was 3 cm (less than 7 cm), reaction area was $3.6\;m^2$, SS concentration was 40 mg/L (less than 300 mg/L) and column diameter was 5 mm (less than 10 mm). Under the optimal conditions, COD, color and coliform removal efficiencies were approximately 49%, 53% and 100%, respectively. Non-biodegradable COD removal efficiency increased with 57% using by photocatalysis process. Therefore, it is shown that photocatalysis has an effect on degradation of non-biodegradable organic matter.

Optimal bactericidal conditions of pilot scale UV-$TiO_2$ photoreractor were studied. As the inner diameter of reactor increased. the bactedcidal efficiency decreased. Similarly bactedcidal effect was elevated according to the higher concentration of $TiO_2$. however. the effect was not repressed by the highest concentration(6.000 $mg/{\ell}$)of $TiO_2$ Bactericidal effect of muscovite bead was higher than that of glass bead. When bacterial cells were applied to the photoreacter for 1. 5. and 15 min, bactericidal effects were 62, 94.3. and 99.8%, respectively. When 30 $mg/{\ell}$ of $H_2O_2$ was added to the reaction mixture and sterilized for 5 min, the bactericidal efficiency was 99.8%.

The photocatalytic activity of phenol degradation was investigated with the variation of operating parameters in $UV/TiO_2$ honeycomb reactor. In the comparison of phenol degradation rates among various $TiO_2$, Ishihara (STS-02)-coated honeycomb exhibited a slightly higher photocatalytic activity than Degussa P25-coated honeycomb. On the other hand, honeycomb coated by alcohol-mixed $TiO_2$ (N Co.) did not exhibit any photocatalytic activity on phenol degradation. With the increase of Degussa P25 coating amounts, the honeycomb reactor exhibited the gradual increase of phenol degradation rates. The degradation rate of phenol over $UV/TiO_2$ (Degussa P25) honeycomb reactor was asymptotically increased up to 500 mL/min, subsequently followed by a slight decrease as the recirculation rate (100~700 mL/min) was increased. UV absorption at 269 nm was high due to partial degradation of phenol at initial reaction time because the honeycomb surface was pre-adsorbed by phenol prior to UV irradiation.

Slurry sol(30at% anatase TiO$_2$)을 이용하여 스핀코팅으로 유리기판에 TiO$_2$박막을 제조하였다. 박막의 두께는 코팅주기의 횟수로 조절하였다. 한 코팅주기는 스핀코팅, 건조, 열처리를 포함한다. 박막의 반응성은 막 위에서의 자외선강도가 0.4mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$인 조건에서 벤젠기체의 광분해 속도를 통해 조사하였다. 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 표면적인 증가로 인해 반응성은 증가하였으며, 4$\mu\textrm{m}$정도이상의 두께에서 반응성은 더 이상 증가되지 않았다. porous한 TiO$_2$박막은 비교적 넓은 유효 표면적을 가지고 있으며, 그것은 두께증가에 따라 반응속도를 결정하는 결과를 낳았다.

Interest in application of ultraviolet light technology for primary disinfection that used for the treatment of water for consumption and wastewater has increased significantly in recent years. Analysis of these systems has been carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) procedure. It offers advantages over other techniques in specific circumstances. CFD has emerged as a powerful tool to aid design of a UV reactor by providing the UV dose delivered by the proposed reactor design and allowing engineers to evaluate alternative designs in much less time and at a reasonable cost. In this study, five different configurations of the apparatus depending on the location of the exit are evaluated in terms of maximum dose, minimum dose, flow patterns, particle tracks and transient dose. The configuration 3 results have higher minimum UV dose value and uniform particle distribution of the UV dose on the outlet than other's.

The performance of UV reactor which is used in water treatment is strongly affected by UV fluence rate and water flow in the UV reactor. Therefore, CFD tools are widely used in designing process of UV reactors. This paper describes the development of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology that can be used to calculate the performance of open channel type UV reactor used in wastewater treatment plant. All computations were performed using commercial CFD code, CFX, by considering three dimensional, steady, incompressible flow. The Eulerian-Eulerian multi-phase method were used to capture the water-air interface. The MSSS model, provided by UVCalc3D, was used to calculate the UV intensity field. The numerical predictions and calculated UV Dose were compared with experimental dataset to validate the CFD methodology. The reactor performance based on MS2 log reduction was well matched with measurements within 6%.

본 연구에서는 4차 암모늄염의 대전방지 현상을 알아보기 위하여 아크릴기가 있는 2-(dimethyl amino)ethyl methacrylate(DMA)를 알킬화 시켜 대전방지제를 합성하고, 자외선 경화 반응을 통해 대전방지 기능이 지속적으로 유지되게 하였다. 여기에서 얻어진 대전방지제를 PMMA 판에 코팅하여 코팅 도막의 전기저항의 변화를 관찰한 결과, 대전방지제의 함량이 20part 이상으로 높아질 때 표면저항 값이 낮아지는 현상을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 대전방지제의 함량이 10part인 경우, 상대습도가 $20\%$ 증가할 때 저항 값은 $10^2{\Omega}/cm^2$까지 감소하는 결과를 볼 수 있었다.

Pseudo first-order rate constants for reactions of seven m- or p- phenyl-ring substituted 3,5-diphenyl 1,2,4-dithiazolium triodides with hydrazine in excess, in pyridine, were determined by a UV spectrophotometry. For these reactions, calculated some activation parameters, identified the reaction products, and investigated the effect of substituent on the reaction rate. These reactions were accelerated by electron-withdrawing substituents and obeyed the Hammett rule. From the observed kinetics, a reaction mechanism was proposed.

In this study, mercury was removed by $TiO_2$ using fluorescent light and sunlight, instead of UV lamps. A reactor was specially designed to increase the $TiO_2's$ exposure to the light source and to make the rotational speed constant. The contacting surface area between mercury and adsorbents was increased by packing the adsorption bed with mixture of $TiO_2$ and glass beads. The mercury removal efficiency was more than 99% under all light sources tested in this study. The mercury removal efficiency was more than 99% under the fluorescent light or sunlight which is harmless and cheap or free.
