The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of coagulants and solid-liquid separation methods on algal removal in water treatment processes. Thus characterization of raw water quality in terms of turbidity. UV-254, $KMnO_4$ consumption, chlorophyll-a and correlation analysis of these parameters were conducted. In addition, the effect of commercial Al-based coagulants(Alum. PAC and PACS) on algal removal was studied by turbidity and organic removal, algal species removal, characteristic of pH drop and alkalinity consumption using laboratory jar tests. Organic components including UV-254, $KMnO_4$ consumption, chlorophyll-a in case of algal bloom were highly correlated with turbidity and the correlation coefficients of UV-254, $KMnO_4$ consumption, chlorophyll-a with turbidity were 0.775, 0674 and 0.623, respectively. In coagulation and sedimentation, the Al-based coagulants showed similar efficiency of organic and turbidity removal in low organic($KMnO_4$ consumption below 15mg/l) and low turbidity(below 30NTU). However, PAC and PACS showed better algal removal than alum in high organic concentration($KMnO_4$ consumption above 20mg/l) and high turbidity(above 100NTU) raw water conditions generated by high algal growth, which is considered to be due to the floc settleability. In comparison of sedimentation and flotation after chemical coagulation and flocculation, the removal efficiency of organic and turbidity were higher in case of alum dose with flotation than with sedimentation, while those were better in case or PAC and PACS with sedimentation than with flotation. Thus, Alum with flotation and PAC and PACS with sedimentation is recommended for efficient algal removal. The dominant phytoplankton in raw water were Microcystic and pediastrum simplex and the removal efficiency of algae with sedimentation using alum. PAC and PACS were 27%, 45% and 22% respectively, while those with DAF showed 100% removal of phytoplankton and zooplankton.

Transient behavior of fouling resistance was observed with a laboratory-scaled, submerged microfiltration membrane system treating high-turbidity source water consisting of inorganic silica particles and humic acid. Fouling mitigation efficiency with inorganic silica particles caused by aeration was reduced significantly as both humic acid and calcium ion existed together. Scanning electron microscopic observations showed that humic acid was adsorbed onto the surface of inorganic silica particles in the presence of calcium. Turbidity removal was achieved almost completely by submerged MF system regardless of feed compositions. However, the $UV_{254}$ removal of humic acid was improved in the presence of both calcium and inorganic silica particles. Additionally, increasing air-flow rate tended to increase $UV_{254}$ removal efficiency higher than 80%. This may be caused by back-transport of humic acid enhanced by inorganic silica particles providing surface for organic adsorption in the presence of calcium.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of Horizontal Flow Fins Inclined Plate (HFIP) for the removal of high-turbidity raw water in water treatment plant. As an experimental result, treated water quality and removal efficiency were 0.34 NTU and 90.45% by the application of HFIP for low-turbidity raw water and for the high-turbidity influent resulted 0.75 NTU and 97.27% in removal efficiency. In view of stability for discharge water NTU, the standard deviation were found as 0.12 NTU for low-turbidity and 0.75 NTU for high-turbidity raw water indicating low fluctuations. Result of flow analysis using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) that the addition of HFIP improves the turbidity treatment followed by the stabilization of flow velocity distribution and increases in settling velocity.

This study sought to establish the optimum operating condition for the recovery of caustic (NaOH) solution from mercerization in textile process. As main factors, the silt density index (SDI) evaluation of ceramic membrane for the application of nanofiltration/reverse osmosis (NF/RO) membrane, the recovery yield measurement of caustic solution for the application of polymeric membrane, the optimum condition of chemical cleaning for the membrane regeneration, the optimum removal condition of total organic carbon (TOC), turbidity, color, and the permeate flux of ceramic membrane/polymeric membrane combined process were investigated. As results, ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) in the first step and nanofiltration (NF) in the second step were found to be suitable for the removal of total suspended solid (TSS), residual organics, turbidity including color, and the recovery of caustic solution from caustic wastewater stream in mercerization process. When only the ceramic UF membrane was used, the rejection efficiency of both of TSS and turbidity was more than 99.0%, and the color and TOC were rejected about 74.7% and 49.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, the combined membrane precess of UF and NF membranes showed even more efficient removal abilities and thus more than 99.9% of TSS and turbidity, 87.7% of color, and 78.2% of TOC were removed. In particular, 91.3% of NaOH was successfully recovered with 83.7% of total volume in the combined membrane process. With this regard, a clean caustic solution was obtained in a high purity, which can be reused for mercerization process, expecting to offer economical benefits.

Optimum design conditions of rapid mixing impellers for an effective Water Treatment Plant operation were experimentally studied by thorough examination of parameters, such as impeller type and detention time. which govern the removal efficiency of turbidity. It was found that the impeller type is one of the major parameters governing the economic power consumption and the efficiency of turbidity removal. The experimental results showed that not only the velocity gradient G but also a new design guide. so called mixing energy per unit volume of raw water, could be used as a design and operation guides for rapid mixing in W.T.P.

The two major tannins were separated by Sephadex LH-20 and MCI-gel CHP-20 from peel of astringent persimmon fruits. Purified tannins were identified to (+)-catechin and (+)-gallocatechin by NMR, IR spectrum and FAB-mass spectrum. The removal rate of turbidity, T-N, T-P and CODcr in wastewater with lime and (+)-gallocatechin was higher than those of (+)-catechin because (+)-gallocatechin has more hydroxyl groups. As increasing concentration of tannins from peel of astringent persimmon fruits, the removal rate of turbidity, T-N, T-P and CODcr were increased. Synergistic activity by mixed tannins(catechin+gallocatechin) was also observed.

현재 유통되고 있는 일반백미의 경우 소비자가 밥을 짓기 위해서는 쌀을 씻어야하는 번거로움 뿐만아니라 쌀 중량의 약 15배의 물이 소요되고, 또한 이때 발생된 쌀뜨물이 수질오염의 원인이 되기 때문에 무세미가공 및 보급 필요성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 무세미 가공분야의 선진국인 일본의 경우 ‘92년부터 습식 무세미조제기가 실용화되기 시작, 현재 사다께 등 6개사에서 기계장치를 생산보급 하고 있으며, 무세미의 유통도 일반화되어가고 있는 추세이다. 국내의 경우 무세미조제기는 근래에서야 습식 무세미 조제설비가 국산화되어 보급초기 단계 있으며, 무세미의 안정적 가공 및 보급을 위해서는 앞으로 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다. 특히 습식의 경우 쌀이 물에 접촉하는 시간이 길 경우 품질저하의 우려가 크고, 쌀중량의 1.4배에 해당하는 물이 가공과정에 필요하기 때문에 물사용량을 억제할수 있는 가공기술의 개발 필요성이 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물사용량을 최소화 할 수 있는 무세미 조제시스템을 개발하고자 하였으며, 주요결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 시작기는 연마 및 공기세척부, 정전기 세척부, 미세가수세척부로 구성하여 쌀이 단계적으로 세척될 수 있도록 제작되었다. 성능시험 결과, 각 세척공정별 세척수의 탁도 감소효과는 연마 및 공기크리닝부에서 22.67ppm, 정전기 크리닝부에서 8.33ppm, 미세가수세척부에서 17.34 ppm이 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 정전기세척부의 탁도감소 효과는 다른 두공정에 비해 작지만 제거가 쉽지 않은 미세한 쌀겨들을 제거하여 탁도를 개선을 시켰기 때문에 미세가수세척장치에서 가수량을 적게 사용하는데 기여한 것으로 판단된다. 가공시 적정 탁도를 확보할 수 있는 가수량은 430cc/kg로 기존의 습식에 비해 약 69%정도 세척수 절감효과가 있었다. 이때 미세가수세척부의 원통스크린 회전수는 108, 205rpm범위가 적정한 것으로 나타났다. 쌀의 품위는 탁도가 가공전 97.33ppm(일반백미)에서 가공후 최대 48.00ppm으로 낮아졌으며, 백도도 가공전 36.80에서 42.80으로 향상되어 씻지 않고도 밥을 지을수 있는 무세미 가공이 가능하였다. 이밖에 쇄립률은 가공전 5.30%에서 7.37%로 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 함수율은 가공전 15.60%에서 15.80%로 약 0.2%가 증가하였으나 기존의 연구결과에 비춰볼 때 문제가 되지 않을 것으로 여겨진다.
