In this study treatment efficiencies of methylene blue were evaluated in term of BOD, COD, TOC, absorbance and initial decolorization rates. Ozonation of the dye in distilled water was performed in a laboratory scale cylindrical batch reactor. The decolorization process of methylene blue was carried out by bubbling ozone at the bottom of a bubble column reactor containing the dye solution. Decolorization, determined by measuring the light absorbance at the maximum wavelength in the (${\lambda}_{max}$, 660 nm), was almost complete after 40 min with an ozone concentration of $50{\pm}10mg/L$. The $TOC/TOC_0$ ratio after ozonation was about 83.8%, the COD was diminished to 44.0% of the initial value. The $BOD_5/COD$ ratio was increased from 64.2% to about 90.8%, indicating an enhancement of biodegradable compounds in the ozonated solutions. The pseudo first-order rate constants of the ozonation was $3.30{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ and the activation energy was $3.01kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ at $30^{\circ}C$.

The effect of steam and ozone pretreatments on fibrillation efficiency by wet disk-milling was investigated. Hemicellulose (40%) and lignin (42%) of Korean white pine were partially removed by steam and ozone pretreatments, respectively. With increasing wet disk-milling time, the diameter of fibers was significantly decreased and its size distribution became narrow. Especially, the average diameters of lignocellulose nanofibers after steam and ozone pretreatments were 19 nm and 12 nm, respectively. Thus-obtained lignocellulose nanofibers-reinforced polyurethane composite was prepared. Tensile strength and elastic modulus were drastically improved with increasing wet disk-milling time and lignocellulose nanofiber content. Nanocomposite reinforced by lignocellulose nanofibers after two pretreatments showed higher tensile properties, compared to that reinforced by lignocellulose nanofiber without pretreatment, at the similar wet disk-milling time.

This objective of this study was to investigate the degradation characteristics of phenol, a refractory substance, by using a submerged dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor. To indirectly determine the concentration of active species produced in the DBD plasma, the dissolved ozone was measured. To investigate the phenol degradation characteristics, the phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations were evaluated based on pH and the discharge power. The dissolved ozone was measured based on the air flow rate and power discharged. The highest dissolved ozone concentration was recorded when the injected air flow rate was 5 L/min. At a discharge power of 40W as compared to 70W, the dissolved ozone was approximately 2.7 - 6.5 times higher. In regards to phenol degradation, the final degradation rate was highest at about 74.06%, when the initial pH was 10. At a discharged power of 40W, the rate of phenol decomposition was observed to be approximately 1.25 times higher compared to when the discharged power was 70W. It was established that the phenol degradation reaction was a primary reaction, and when the discharge power was 40W as opposed to 70W, the reaction rate constant(k) was approximately 1.72 times higher.

To improve hygienic quality of egg, the ozone treatment was applied. Eggs were inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium, and the inoculated eggs were treated by ozone (38.8 ppm) for 10-30 min. Furthermore, microbiological and chemical quality changes of eggs were investigated during storage. Initial number of S. Typhimurium of egg shell was 6.18 log CFU/g and the number was increased during storage (p<0.05). However, those of ozonated samples for 10-30 min were 4.22-5.25 log CFU/g, which was lower than that of the control. Especially, ozone treatment for 30 min achieved about 2 decimal reductions and the numbers were maintained during storage. Other physical and chemical characteristics of eggs by ozone treatment, including Haugh unit, yolk color, pHs of egg white and yolk, foaming ability, foam stability and lipid oxidation development were not different when compared with that of the control. Therefore, ozone treatment is one of the available methods to improve hygienic quality of eggs.

현재까지 개발되고있는 휘발성유기화합물질의 처리기술들로는 소각, 흡착, 산화, 그리고 생물학적 처리 등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 기술은 각기 나름대로의 장점과 단점들, 그리고 적용의 한계성을 가지고 있으며, 아직도 많은 극복해야될 문제점을 가지고 있어서 여전히 연구개발 진행중에 있다. 지금까지 대형 배출원에서 일부 응용되고 있거나 처리시설로 가장 활발히 검토되고 있는 제어기술은 활성탄 흡착을 이용한 흡착처리기술이다. 그러나 실제로 흡착을 이용하여 휘발성유기화합물을 처리하고 있는 많은 업체에서 흡착시설 또는 흡착탑을 효율적으로 이용하지 못하고 있다.

In the electrolytic preparation of persulphate from sulphate solution, the current efficiency decrease with temperature increase at the platinum anode. But in case of electrodeposited lead peroxide anode, the current efficiency increase with temperature of the solution. The reason seems to be that the ozone formation is faster in platinum anode than in lead peroxide as temperature increase.

The pine wood meal was ozonated in acidic water. A 91.3% of lignin and 13% of polysaccharides in pine wood meal were degraded with 180 min ozonation. The phenolic hydroxyl groups of lignin in ozonated wood meals were increased with ozonation time. The vanillin content in nitrobenzene oxidation products of lignin is decreased with 10 min. ozonation and it was slightly increased with ozonation time. The sugar composition of ozonated wood meals showed that the hemicellulose was more susceptible to ozonation than cellulose. The crystallinity of ozonated wood meal was increased.

The effect of $O_3$, $O_3/pH$, and $O_3/H_2O_2$, $O_3/UV$, and $H_2O_2/UV$ advanced oxidation process(AOP) were investigated for the treatment of tetrachloroethylen(PCE) at various condition. The removal efficiency of 10, 20, and 30ppm PCE by ozonation were almost same, only about 60%. And pseudo first-order rate constants, ko for overall oxidation was about 0.097($min^{-1}$). In the $O_3/pH$ AOP experiment for the 20ppm PCE, the removal rate of PCE increased with the increase of pH. However, mineralization rate of PCE at pH 7 was higher than at pH 10. In the $O_3/H_2O_2$ AOP, the removal rate of PCE was the highest at peroxide-to-ozone dosage ratio of about 0.9, which PCE was removed over 99.95%. Despite 42% of PCE was directly photolyzed by the UV irradiation, the removal efficiency of PCE by $O_3/UV$ AOP was only about 70%. In $H_2O_2/UV$ AOP, the removal efficiency of PCE increased to about 98% in proportion to the $H_2O_2$ injection concentration at constant UV intensity of 5W/l.

While a range of natural organic matter (NOM) types can generate high levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs) after chlorination, there is little understanding of which specific compounds act as precursors. Use of eight model compounds allows linking of explicit properties to treatability and DBP formation potential (DBPFP). The removal of model compounds by various treatment processes and their haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) before and after treatment were recorded. The model compounds comprised a range of hydrophobic (HPO) and hydrophilic (HPI) neutral and anionic compounds. On the treatment processes, an ozone oxidation process was moderate for control of model compounds, while the HPO-neutral compound was most treatable with activated carbon process. Biodegradation was successful in removing amino acids, while coagulation and ion exchange process had little effect on neutral molecules. Although compared with the HPO compounds the HPI compounds had low HAAFP the ozone oxidation and biodegradation were capable of increasing their HAAFP. In situations where neutral or HPI molecules have high DBPFP additional treatments may be required to remove recalcitrant NOM and control DBPs.
