This study is conducted to determine the potential of zerovalent iron (ZVI), pyrolusite and birnessite to remediate water contaminated with chlorothalonil. The degradation rate of chlorothalonil by treatment of ZVI, pyrolusite and birnessite was much higher in low condition of pH. Mixing an aqueous solution of chlorothalonil with 1.0% (w/v) ZVI, pyrolusite and birnessite resulted in 4.7, 13.46 and 21.38 hours degradation half-life of chlorothalonil, respectively. Dechlorination number of chlorothalonil by treaonent of ZVI, pyrolusite and birnessite exhibited 2.85, 1.12 and 1.09, respectively. Degradation products of chlorothalonil by teartment of pyrolusite and birnessite were confirmed as trichloro-1,3-dicyanobenzene and dichloro-1,3-dicyanobenzene which were dechlorinated one and two chlorine atoms from parent chlorothalonil by GC-mass. Degradation products of chlorothalonil by ZVI were identified not only as those by pyrolusite and birnessite but as further reduced chloro-1,3-dicyanobenzene and chlorocyanobenzene.

PVC is the thermoplastic offering excellent material properties. PVC is used in wide variety of applications, however, it causes environmental problems when it is discarded because of its high chlorine content. Since dechlorination reaction of PVC is taking place relatively low temperature compared to the pyrolysis temperature of plastics, study on the dechlorination reaction has been carried out as a pre-treatment process. Twin screw reactor which shows excellent mixing capabilities is employed. Experimental variables are first and second reactor temperature, PVC content in mixed plastics, viscosity of mixed plastics, feeding rate, rotational speed of the second reactor. Over 90% of dechlorination rate can be obtained under proper operation conditions. Chlorine gas evolved from reactor is absorbed in water and can be recovered as a hydrochloric acid. Analysis had been done on chlorine flows by taking material balance over reactor.

It was investigated whether an electrode could serve as an electron donor for biological reductive dechlorination of chlorinated phenols in the bio-electrochemical process. There was no dechlorination in the absence of current and scanning electron microscope image showed that the electrode surface was covered with microorganisms. As a result, the electrode attached cells was responsible for reductive dechlorination. Also, initial high chlorinated phenol concentration such as $437mg/{\ell}$ was rapidly reduced within 5 hours. The maximum dechlorination rate using Monod equation was $5.95mg{\ell}$-h($cm^2$ (electrode surface area)) in the bio-electrochemical reactor.

The parameter which determines the plateau length of current-voltage curve for ion- exchange membranes was studied at various concentrations of NaCl and different flow rates. Moreover, the feasibility of the electrodialytic removal of 0.1 M NaCl solution at various current densities was tested by assessing the electrodialysis performance parameters such as salt removal efficiency, current efficiency, energy consumption and water dissociation. The diffusion boundary layer (DBL) thickness decreased with the NaCl concentration and flow rate of fled solution and it was observed that the plateau length of current-voltage curves was related with the DBL thickness. The removal efficiency and current efficiency were not affected significantly by the current densities even at the overlimiting current region indicating that most current were passed by electrolyte, and water dissociations are not responsible for the overlimiting current. Energy consumption increased when the current density supplied exceeded the limiting current density (LCD) values, because additional energy was necessary to overcome the plateau potential. Beyond the LCD values the energy consumption required to get a certain removal efficiency was not affected by the current density applied. The result suggests that it is allowed to operate electrodialysis processes at as high as possible current density unless water-splitting does not occur.

Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) is a variation of the conventional CDI process that can improve desalination efficiency by employing an ion-exchange membrane (IEM) together with a porous carbon electrode. The IEM is a key component that greatly affects the performance of MCDI. In this study, we attempted to derive the optimal fabricating factors for IEMs that can significantly improve the desalination efficiency of MCDI. For this purpose, pore-filled IEMs (PFIEMs) were then fabricated by filling the pores of the PE porous support film with monomers and carrying out in-situ photopolymerization. As a result of the experiment, the prepared PFIEMs showed excellent electrochemical properties that can be applied to various desalination and energy conversion processes. In addition, through the correlation analysis between MCDI performance and membrane characteristic parameters, it was found that controlling the degree of crosslinking of the membranes and maximizing permselectivity within a sufficiently low level of membrane electrical resistance are the most desirable membrane fabricating condition for improving MCDI performance.

본 연구는 PVC를 포함한 혼합플라스틱을 연료화하는데 있어서 가장 큰 장애요인으로 되어있는 염소분을 효율적으로 제거하기 위한 목적으로 진행되었다. 염소성분을 원천적으로 제거하기 위해서는 PVC 내에 함유된 염소분을 제거하는 것이 관건이며 원천탈염을 통하여 제거하지 않으면 총괄 염소분의 변화가 없기 때문에 실제로 연료사용에는 한계가 있는 경우가 많다. 본 연구는 PVC중 56% 이상 함유되어 있는 염소성분을 연속식 스크루 반응기에 의하여 가열하여 제거하는 방식을 사용하였으며 각 공정의 변수별로 제거효율을 분석하여 최적조업조건에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 일반적인 공정조업조건은 공급량, 혼합 플라스틱의 점도, 2차 반응기의 온도, 스크루 회전수 등이며 이 가운데 가장 결정적인 조건은 가열온도 변수이며 여타의 최적조업조건 하에서 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상인 경우에는 90% 이상의 탈염효율을 유지할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

원자력 발전소 2차계통수에는 pH를 조절하여 부식을 억제하기 위해 pH제어제로 암모니아를 사용하였으나 상변화 지역에서 액상의 pH가 낮아 부식생성물이 생성, 증기발생기로 유입되어 진열관의 부식을 촉진 시킨다. pH 제어제로 암모니아 대신 ETA를 도입하여 pH를 증가시키고 증기발생기로 유입되는 부식생성물의 양을 감소하여 진열관의 부식을 억제시키고 있다. 그러나 암모니아에서 ETA로 변경함에 따라 증기 발생기취출수계통의 탈염의 운진기간이 단축되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 탈염기의 수지 교체주기도 연장시키고 안전성도 확보할 수 있는 탈염기내 양ㆍ음이온 이온교환수지 조성 비율을 최적화하는데 있다. 연속화학평형모델을 이용한 결과 양ㆍ음이온 이온교환수지 비율이 10:1일 경우 최적인 것으로 조사되었다.

Residual pesticides discharged from diffuse sources at agricultural area in association with suspended solid will be settled at downstream, and may degrade surface water quality. This research studied dechlorination kinetic of atrazine, one of triazine-category herbicide, using zero-valent iron (ZVI) in sediment. It can be observed from the experiments that buffer capacity of sediment helped pH maintained beutral, resulted in continuous dechlorination. Sediments were spiked with atrazine at 10, 30, and 50 mg atrazine/L of total sediment for batch experiments. Dechlorination constants were $1.38x10^{-1}/d$ for the initial concentration of 10 mg/L, $1.29x10^{-l}/d$ for 30 mg/L, and $7.43x10^{-2}/d$ for 50 mg/L while dechlorination constants of initial concentration of 50 mg/L without ZVI adding were estimated as $3.05x10^{-2}/d. Half lifes atrazine by ZVI were estimated as 5.03 d fur 10 mg/L, 5.38 d for 30 mg/L, and 9.33 d for 50 mg/L, respectively.

This study investigated potential damages and conservation methods for the ceramics (without glaze) by examination of physical and chemical effects from the burial environments. For this study, pottery samples excavated from Daejeon Hakha, Asan Eumbong, Hwasung Sogeunsan and Kongju Haengbokdosi were examined with released ions and extraction through desalination. The result showed that the ion inflow into the ceramics was dependent upon the porosity and the absorption of ceramics. The high temperature fired ceramics (over $1,000^{\circ}C$) have low porosity and absorption, therefore almost no salt infiltration during the burial period. However, low temperature fired ceramics (under $800^{\circ}C$) have high porosity and absorption, and most of salts were removed during the desalination. The 40 to 60% of salts were removed in two days and 60 to 80% of slats were released in a week. Furthermore, fertilizer residues such as $K_2SO_4$, in soils were detected in the ceramcis. Also the characteristics of buried soil affected ion infiltration into ceramics. Ceramics buried in sandy soil had relatively less ion contents from buried environments than those in clayey soil. Therefore, low temperature fired ceramics could do not only cleaning but also desalination if it is necessary, and the period could be decided to the condition of ceramics.

The present study concerns quantitative assessment of chloride extraction, repassivation and structural behavior of concrete. Concrete specimen ($160{\times}160{\times}1000mm$) was fabricated with 3 steel bar located in the middle with 20 mm of the cover depth, containing 5.0% of chloride to accelerate corrosion process, then to be subjected to electrochemical treatment. The current density accounted for $750mA/m^2$ at 2, 4 and 8 weeks. As a result, it was found that an increase in the duration of the treatment resulted in an increase in the chloride extraction, accounting for 64.7-83.7% for the specimen at 8 weeks treatment. It implies that a portion of bound chlorides would turn free to be removed, considering the binding capacity of cement about 50-60% to total ones. Even after the treatment, the corrosion was still active; the corrosion rate was $6.5mA/m^2$ and 330 mV vs. SCE in the potential. For structural behavior, the maximum load was increased by corrosion on the steel bars, which was subsequently lowered by the treatment, but still higher than for control.
