This study examines the optimum filtration conditions in pretreatment of seawater desalination by reverse osmosis. For this purpose, Masan bay seawater is treated through a gravity filter column while $FeCl_3$ is added as coagulant. The conditions of coagulantd osage, media depth, filtration rate, and backwash time are evaluated. The study results show that the filtrate quality improved with increasing coagulant dosage, but head loss rapidly increased. After 4mg/L, the unit filter run volume reduced to less than $200m^3/m^2$. Considering the head loss development, 4mg/L is determined as the optimum dosage. The better filtrate qualities are obtained with depth of 100cm than that of 80cm. The two stage filtration, which outperformed the single stage filtration, is suggested for treatment of Masan bay. The filtration rate of 5m/h is decided as the optimum condition considering the head loss development. At 10m/h, the filtrate quality deteriorated even though the extent was minimal, and head loss increased rapidly. The backwash time of 10 min is decided appropriate.

Damaged spermatozoa are supposed to be trapped in glass wool. In the respect of this, two glass wool filtration spermatozoa groups (0.5 cm, 1 cm depth) were compared with control group to assay sperm motility, HOS values, and vital rate by CFDA/PI staining method following glass wool filtration. The motility of canine sperm extended with PBS+PVP after glass wool filtration was lower in both filtrated groups than that of the control group (p<0.01) and the same significant difference was also shown in canine semen extended with Tris buffer (p<0.01). The motility of canine sperm diluted with PBS+PVP was higher than that diluted with Tris buffer in the same experimental groups (p<0.05). The motility of control group was not significantly decreased until 2 hours immediately after extending, however, the motility of both glass wool filtrated spermatozoa were significantly decreased as time passed until 2 hours after filtration (p<0.01). At each time for assay (immediately, 30 min, 2 hours after filtration), the motility of canine sperm of control group was higher than the filtrated groups (p<0.05), whereas the motility of 0.5 cm depth group was higher than 1 cm depth group at the immediate time after filtration (p<0.05), 30 minutes later (p<0.05) with no difference at 2 hours. No difference was shown among the experimental groups in HOS values of canine sperm after glass wool filtration. The vital rate assayed by CFDA/PI staining of both filter groups was higher than the control group (p<0.05).

A depth filter medium was newly designed in order to achieve high collection of dust and low pressure drop in this work. Multilayer depth filter media consist of an upstream layer of highly porous structure which allows particles to pass through and to follow by one or more downstream layers to hold the particles inside the media. For each filter media, flat sheet and pleated module were made of newly developed depth filter media and filter media of commercial products. Commercial depth filter cartridge for gas turbine air intake cleaning were used as reference for filtration area and pleat geometry of pleated modules. This work attempts to evaluate and compare the newly developed depth filter medium and two commercial filter media in terms of filtration parameters such as air permeability, initial pressure drop, particle retention and pressure drop variation with dust loading. According to the close examination the newly developed depth filter showed better performance compared to the commercial depth filter media.

A new depth filter media was designed and samples of flat sheet as well as cartridge assembly were prepared and tested to evaluate the filtration performance and compare with the commercial product. The arrangement of the depth filter media layers is important to reach the optimal filtration parameters like filter pressure drop, particle collection efficiency and dust holding capacity. Initially, both flat sheet samples of new media and commercial product have been tested using standard test units. Tests with new depth filter media cartridges of various pleat count were conducted in order to find the optimal pleat count which would represent the lowest pressure drop. These tests give an insight on how the pleat count and the assembly configuration affect the performance of the depth filter media cartridge. By comparing the samples with a commercial product we could confirm relatively high filtration performance of the sample cartridge with pleat count 150 made of new depth filter media. The cartridge with the same pleat count exhibits better performance without the outer mesh.

A metal fiber bed has seldom been applied to the practical filtration process despite its excellent mechanical and chemical stability. The filter-bed used in this work was highly porous with open structure, of which apparent porosity was 80 ∼ 90%. Although pressure loss across the filter-bed was very low, separation efficiency was found to be quite high. This paper focuses on the basic filtration mechanisms of a metal filter-bed and a thin ceramic filter from fly ash for reference. The experimental parameters were face velocity, dust loading and porosity of filter-bed. Pressure drop increased with increasing face velocity and dust feeding load for both filters. It also showed that dust particles deposited in the deep flow path, finally resulting in clogging the pore channels. It thereby indicates that the dominating mechanism of the metal filter-bed would be depth filtration. Meanwhile, the thin fly ash composite filters trapped the aerated dust mainly on the surface of the filter medium, so that the instantaneously formed dust layer might cause a steep increase of pressure drop across the filtration system.

On the purpose of conform the more stringent government regulation for turbid stormwater from construction sites, the feasibility and availability of synthetic fiber placing after the conventional protection barrier were tested in this study. Initially, comparative work on the filtering performance of fiber media and conventional gravel filter was carried out, 27% higher filtration capacity was obtained under the similar operational conditions. The filter efficiency was about 20 to 52% with a varying filter depth of 5 to 15cm, presuming at extreme storm flow conditions (800-1500 m/day of filtration rates). Fiber filter was found to have a similar filtration prosperity as grain media; namely, the separation efficiency is directly and inversely proportional to filter depth and rate, respectively. The effects of filter aid (polyaluminium chloride) on filter performance was also investigated, it greatly affected the turbidity reduction at the dosage of 2 mg/L. At the time of breakthrough, a simple filter washing was carried out, herein, the solid recovery achieved over than 88% and greatly determined by operational parameters. Based on the operational data, the empirical models aimed for predicting filtration efficiency were established, which can effectively determine the required filter depth and filtration area in field.

하수처리장 방류수를 추가로 처리하여 하천의 수질을 개선하려는 노력의 일환으로 범람/휴지식 홍수터여과에 대한 파일럿 규모의 실험을 수행하였다. 대상토양은 낙동강의 구미, 대구, 그리고 김해에서 얻었으며, 각 토양별로 운전경과에 따른 침투율 감소현상과 여러 침투율에서 각종 오염물질의 여과거리에 따른 제거율을 조사하였다. 실험결과 운전시간이 경과함에 따라 표층에서 폐색이 점차 발달하였고 이에 따라 침투율이 지수함수적으로 감소하였다. 표층의 폐색제거에 필요한 주기는 모든 토양에서 2주 이상이었고, 안정적인 침투율은 구미토양의 경우 5 m/day, 대구와 김해 토양의 경우에는 1 m/day이었다. 불포화대에서는 여과거리 증가에 따라 용존산소의 농도가 오히려 증가하여 범람/휴지를 번갈아 적용하는 방식이 토양을 호기환경으로 유지하는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 모든 토양에서 침투율이 증가하여도 여과거리에 따른 오염제거특성은 거의 일정하였다. BOD와 탁도는 모든 토양의 여과거리 1.2 m에서 대부분 제거가 가능하였으며, COD는 3.6 m 여과에서 30% 이상 제거되었고 여과거리가 증가하면 그 제거율이 다소 향상될 것으로 예상되었다. 모든 토양의 표층부근에서 질산화반응이 진행되었으나 실험된 여과거리에서는 질소의 제거가 거의 없었다. 구미토양에서는 인 제거율이 낮았으나 다른 토양에서는 인 제거율이 상당하거나 매우 높아서 본 공법을 잘 활용하는 경우 하천수질을 크게 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.

본 연구에서는 박테리아 제거를 위한 완속모래여과에서 탄소나노튜브(Carbon Nanotube, CNT)의 적용성을 검토하기 위해서 전자현미경 분석 및 칼럼 실험을 수행하였다. CNT의 형태적 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 주사전자현미경으로 분석한 결과 CNT는 박테리아 부착이 용이한 섬유형태로 응집되어 있었다. CNT의 충진 두께, pH, 이온강도를 달리하며 칼럼 실험을 수행하였다. CNT의 충진 두께가 1 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm로 증가할수록 박테리아 제거율이 44.15%에서 99.95%로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, pH가 5.5에서 8.5로 증가할 경우 정전기적 반발력에 의해 박테리아 제거율이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이온강도를 0 mM에서 50 mM로 증가하여 칼럼 실험을 수행한 경우 박테리아 제거율이 97.25%에서 70.90%로 감소하였다. 본 연구를 통해 CNT가 오염된 물에 함유되어 있는 박테리아를 처리하는 완속모래여과에 적용 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
