인공식물섬의 BOD, SS, T-N, T-P제거효율과 조류의 성장억제 능력을 분석하였으며 조류제어효과에 있어서 미생물보유활성화, 식물의 흡수효과에 대한 각각의 효과성을 판단하기 위해 구성요소별 장치를 구성하여 실험하였다. 구성요소별 장치는 (1) Blank Test, (2) 인공식물섬(VAFI) $0.25m^2$, (3) 식물을 식재 하지 않은 인공식물섬(AFI) $0.25m^2$, (4) 인공식물섬을 수면위로 부유시키기 위한 부력재 $0.25m^2$, (5) Media (부력재 $0.25m^2$에 50cm 길이로 Media를 4줄 부착)이다. BOD제거는 VAFI, AFI, 부력재, Media에서 각각 82.7, 80.8, 45.2, 59.6%로 나타났다. T-N제거는 VAFI, AFI, Media에서 각각 51.2, 31.7, 25.1%로 나타났다. T-P제거는 VAFI, AFI, 부력재, Media에서 각각 23.3, 16.7, 10.0, 13.3%로 나타났다. 엽록소-${alpha}$는 VAFI에서 97.9%가 제거되었다. VAFI의 구성 요소별 제거율은 차광효과 35.1%,미생물의 복합작용에 의한 효과 61%, 식물과 뿌리에 의한 효과 1.8%인 것으로 나타났다.

Conventionally used flocculation tanks require large space and high energy requirement for mixing. Static flocculators using gravel bed filter operate at a lower flow rate ($5-10m^3/m^2{\cdot}h$). Further, the cleaning of this system is difficult. A novel high rate static flocculator/filter developed at UTS packed with buoyant media such as polystyrene, polypropylene has been found to operate at higher filtration rates (30-45 $5-10m^3/m^2{\cdot}h$). They can easily be cleaned with minimal energy. Detailed experiments conducted with an artificial kaolin clay solution show that buoyant media is an excellent static flocculator in producing uniform filterable microflocs (12-15 m) even when it is operated at a high rate of 30-40 m/h. Detailed filtration experiments were conducted in a wastewater treatment plant to treat the biologically treated effluent with a floating media of depth of 120 cm. This filter was able to remove majority of phosphorus and remaining solids. It reduced significantly the fecal coliforms and fecal streptoccoci, thus requiring less amount of chlorine for disinfection. The advantage of this system is the low energy and water requirement for cleaning of filter bed. The periodic backwash adopted 30 seconds air and water and 30 seconds water cleaning every 90 minutes filter operation. Thisis equivalent to 1-2% of filtered water production. Mechanical cleaning system on the other hand, requires very low energy requirement (<1% of filtered water production).

Recently it revealed that urban runoff was one of the major source that contaminates the river, lake and estuary because it contains toxic compounds such as heavy metals and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) as well as suspended solids, organic compounds and nutrients. The engineered polymetric media in this research were developed for reducing pollutants in urban runoff and would be used to be charged in the storm water treatment equipment. The engineered media that were composed of the polypropylene was foamed to have the buoyancy and then shattered by mechanical for the efficient filtration. In this study, Spherical Expanded Polypropylene Media (SEPM), Crushed Polypropylene Media (CPM), Large Crushed Expanded Polypropylene Media (LCEPM), Small Crushed Expanded Polypropylene Media (SCEPM) were made from polypropylene. Surface characteristics of the developed media were determined by scanning electron microscopy analyses. Also, removal efficiencies of SS, $COD_{Cr}$ in the artificial road runoff and the bed headloss by media and particle pollutants captured by media were examined. Results on the surface characteristics of media indicated that SCEPM had the largest specific surface area, $0.80m^2/g$, the lowest specific gravity, 0.091, and the biggest porosity, 0.63, because of crushing the media at the process of manufacturing. And the SCEPM's removal efficiencies of TSS and $COD_{Cr}$ in the artificial road runoff were 92.9% and 83.6%, respectively and the headloss of SCEPM was the least of them.

Generally, thermal analysis of spent fuel storage cask has been conducted using the porous media and effective thermal conductivity model to simplify the structural complexity of spent fuel assemblies. As the fuel assembly is composed of two regions; active fuel region corresponding to UO2 pellets and unactive fuel region corresponding to the top and bottom nozzle, the heat transfer performance can be influenced depending on porous media application at these regions. In this study, numerical analysis on concrete storage cask of spent fuel was performed to investigate heat transfer effects for two cases; one was porous media application only to active fuel region(case 1) and the other one was porous media to whole length of fuel assembly(case 2). Using computational fluid dynamics code, the three dimensional, 1/4 symmetry model was constructed. For two cases, maximum temperatures for each component were evaluated below the allowable limits. For the case 1, maximum temperatures for fuel cladding, neutron absorber and baskets inside the canister were slightly higher than those for the case 2. In particular, even though the helium flows with low velocity due to buoyant forces occurred at the top and bottom of unactive fuel region, treating only active fuel region as the porous media was ineffective in respect of the heat removal performance of concrete storage cask, implying a conservative result.

본 연구에서 개발한 시스템은 기존에 사용되던 유수분리기를 유류가 혼입되어 발생하는 도로, 교량 등의 도시 불투수면 비점 오염저감장치로 업그레이드한 것으로서 유적입자가 coalescence 원리에 의하여 고밀도 고분자 폴리에틸렌 소재를 사용하여 제작된 메디아의 표면과 공간 사이를 타고 이동하면서 합체되어 유적의 크기가 증가한 후 부상하여 제거되는 기전과 SS 성분의 고형물이 침전에 의해 제거되는 원리를 이용한 도시 비점오염저감시설이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 coalescence 기전을 통해 유수분리가 일어나는 나선형 고분자 여재의 유수분리 특성을 image analysis를 통해 규명하였으며 또한 도로노면 먼지와 폐엔진오일을 이용하여 비점오염원 저감시설에 유입되는 폐수를 모사하여 비점오염원 저감시설의 유수분리 성능을 실험하였다. 연구에 사용된 여재는 부정형의 투명한 나선형 구조를 갖고 있으며, SEM 사진 및 BET 측정 결과 매끄러운 표면 특성을 나타내고 있다. 직접 측정 방법으로 여재의 표면적을 측정한 결과, 여재 1립당 표면적은 1,428 $mm^2$으로 나타났으며, 단위당 중량은 45.3 $kg/m^3$으로 조사되었다. 또한 폐수 내 기름 입자의 액적크기를 현미경으로 촬영하여 이미지 분석을 수행한 결과, 메디아를 통한 폐수내 기름성분의 제거가 coalescence에 의해 일어나고 있음을 증명하였다. 마지막으로 나선형 부유 메디아를 적용한 비점오염저감시설의 성능평가 결과, 유량에 따라서 부유성 고형물은 $86.6\sim95.2%$, $COD_{Cr}$, $87.3\sim95.4%$, n-Hexane 추출물 $71.8\sim94.8%$의 제거효율을 나타내어 본 장치의 처리성능은 기존의 비점오염원 저감시설의 처리대상물질인 유기물과 부유물질 뿐만 아니라 유류의 제거에도 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다.
