Sediment contains a high fraction of organic matter, high buffering capacity, and a large portion of fine grained particles such as silt and clay, which are major barriers to remove heavy metals from sediments. In this study, a lab-scale electrokinetic (EK) technique was applied to remove heavy metals effectively from marine sediment at a constant voltage gradient of 2 V/cm. A concentration of 0.1 M of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid (CA), $HNO_3$, and HCl were circulated in the cathode, and tap water was circulated in the anode. CA extracted 92.4% of Ni, 96.1% of Cu, 97.1% of Zn, and 88.1% of Pb from marine sediment. A higher voltage gradient enhanced the transport of citrate and EDTA into the sediment and, therefore, increased metal extraction from the marine sediment through a complexation reaction between metals and the chelates. Based on these results, the electrokinetic process using a high voltage gradient with EDTA and CA might be useful to extract heavy metals from marine sediment.

When a active sonar signal is transmitted and returned back from a target, it has been distorted by various properties of acoustic channel such as multipath arrivals. And signals have been appeared to be different form by target position and attitude. Therefore, we simulated the target echo signal using 3 dimensional target model include reflects target features. In this paper, we develop components form of a simulated target model is made up equally spaced highlight points, and each part of the target consists of shape function. We can simulate a target echo signal and Target strength (TS) according to wave incident angle. To verify, we made small scale target in kit form and we had got underwater target signal for comparing simulation result in water tank.

It studies that effect of limestone of physicochemical characteristic on the performance of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and application examination for technology of wet type FGD process and to utilize the limestone in Donghae-Samcheok. The experiment method was measured total neutralizing capability (TNC) using the lab scale experimental apparatus based on the HCl titration test. The results of TNC of limestone samples were more dependent on the physical characteristics including particle size rather than chemical compositions such as CaO content and particle size of limestone get smaller, TNC is increased.

We studied the removal of toluene vapors in a lab-scale biofiter. Biofiltration was performed in a column fed in a downflow manner with contaminated air at ambient conditions. The column was packed with a mixture of peat and calstone(5:3 vol. Ratio), which was inoculated with microbes of selected stains(Pseudomonas putida type A). The microorganisms were immobilized on the filter media and biofilms were formed. The fiofilter was operated at various inlet toluene concentrations for days, and treated up to a maximum elimination capacity of $20 g/m^3hr$ at an inlet load of $30 g/m^3hr$, which corresponds to removal efficiencies in the range 20∼90% and a gas retention time of 1 to 2 min. The pressure drop was almost negligible over the biofilter columns, amounting to only $1.062 cmH_2O/m$ and appreciably smaller than other studies. The effects of operating conditions such as flow rate, inlet toluene concentration and moisture content on the performance of the biofilter were sequentially investigated.

We studied the release characteristics of the marine sediment which could facilitate sea eutrophication through some lab-scale simulation experiments. Environmental indicators such as pH, ORP(oxidation reduction potential), nitrogens, and phosphates were measured in order to calculate the corresponding release rates. $CaO_2$, an oxygen releasing compound was used to determine how it would effect on the natural process of sedimental release. COD, ammonia nitrogen, phosphorous compounds were less released under the oxic environment caused by $CaO_2$. This basic data will help developing methodology for reducing marine eutrophication which may be initiated by the sedimental release.

During the electrokinetic remediation, direct current applied to a soil-water-electrolyte system derives the variations of fluid transport phenomena in soil-water system and soil-water interface characteristics. Therefore, these variations affect the electrokinetic reaction. In this study, lab-scale electrokinetic remediation tests were performed to characterize the electrical and chemical parameters variation in soil. During the test, voltage gradient, electrical current, zeta potential and pH variations were measured. On the basis of experimental results, computer modeling techniques predicting the variations of these parameters are suggested.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of film cooling in the lab-scale dump-cooled liquid rocket engine using LOX and kerosene as propellants. The nozzle of the rocket engine was film cooled with water as coolant. A special film cooling adapter was fabricated to introduce the film-coolant into the thrust chamber. The flow rates of film coolant was approximately 15~19 percent of the total propellant. The nozzle heat flux was determined from the measured temperature rise and flow rate of the coolant(water). Large reductions in the nozzle heat flux was resulted when film cooling adapter located directly upstream of the nozzle.

In this study, we stabilized the screened soil from landfills by using aerobic bioreactor and evaluated aerobic decomposition of it. Four lab-scale bioreactors (anaerobic and 1 PV/day aeration, 5 PV/day aeration, 10 PV/day aeration) filled with screened soil were operated to investigate the effect of air injection quantity on stabilization of screened soil. In case of aerobic bioreactors, the decomposition of organics in screened soil was higher than anaerobic bioreactor. According to the results of landfill gas and soil respiration test, the air injection quantity of 5 PV/day was most efficient in stabilization of screened soil.

In this paper the new statistical method called "New Modified Triangle Test" is studied. This method is to test the null hypothesis based on the result which comes from evaluating sample size "t", where $t{\geqq}3$, by using Triangle Preference Scale Test. It a confirmed that "New Modified Scheffe's Method 1" can be used for appraising "New Modified Triangle Test". In this report, the weight fraction of in-correct oddity chosen to correct oddity chosen is made 1/2 in terms of chance probability.
