  • In order to remove both nitrate and sulfate present in the concentrate of RO(reverse osmosis) process, a combined bio-regeneration and ion-exchange(IX) system was studied. For this purpose, both denitrifying bacteria(DNB) and sulfate reducing bacteria(SRB) were simultaneously cultivated in a bio-reactor under anaerobic conditions. When the IX column containing a nitrate-selective A520E resin was fully exhausted by nitrate and sulfate, the IX column was bio-regenerated by pumping the supernatant of the bio-reactor, which contains MLSS concentration of $125{\pm}25mg/L$, at the flowrate of 360 BV/hr. Even though the nitrate-selective A520E resin was used, the breakthrough curves of ionic species showed that sulfate was exhausted earlier than nitrate. The reason for this result is due to the fact that the concentration of sulfate in RO concentrate was 36 to 48 times higher than nitrate. The bio-reactor was successfully operated at a volumetric loading rate of 0.6 g $COD/l{\cdot}d$, nitrate-N loading rate of 0.13 g $NO_3{^-}-N/l{\cdot}d$, and sulfate loading rate of 0.08 g $SO_4{^{2-}}/l{\cdot}d$. The removal rate of SCOD, nitrate-N, sulfate was 90, 100, and 85%, respectively. When the virgin resin was fully exhausted and consecutively bio-regenerated for 2 days, 81% of nitrate and 93% of sulfate were reduced. When the virgin resin was repeatedly used up to 4 cycles of service and bio-regeneration, the ion-exchange capacity of bio-regenerated resin decreased to 95, 91, 88, and 81% of virgin resin.

  • 노동 집약적이던 농업은 급속한 기계화로 인하여 노동력의 절감은 여러 분야에서 활성화되고 있지만, 농업은 수익성이 높지 않아 여전히 사람들이 노동을 기피하는 산업중의 하나이다. 온실 자동화는 특용 작물 등의 고부가가치 상품에만 한정되어 있으므로 이를 개선해야 한다. (중략)

  • 컴퓨터 시각장치에 의한 3차원 정보를 이용한 연구현황으로서는 최근에 많이 연구되어지고 있으며, 그 중에서 가장 일반적인 방법으로 사람의 눈과 비슷한 구조를 가진 스테레오 시각을 이용한다. 한 대의 카메라를 통해 얻어지는 3차원 형상 정보는 3차원 대상체가 2차원 평면상에 투사되어 얻어진 정보이므로 대상체가 갖는 3차원 공간 정보를 얻기 위한 접근법이 필요하다. (중략)
