For this study, we polymerized polyacrylamide base flocculants (PAA) and tested their properties and settling efficiency as a treatment for potable water. The most common chemicals for potable water treatment in Korea are alum or PAC. However, due to various reasons (such as rainy season or algae), inorganic flocculants cannot be solely depended on to solve all the problems caused by the poor quality of inflow water. When PAA coupled with coagulants in a potable water purification process is used, the turbidity removal efficiency increases by a factor of three on a single chemical system using PAC (Raw water: 5.21 NTU; Treated PAA+PAC: 0.34 NTU; and, Treated PAC: 1.04 NTU). It is possible to offset the toxic effect of residual monomers in treated water using PAA, because the concentrations of residual acrylamide are less than 400 mg/L in the polymer itself and less than $0.04\;{\mu}g/L$ in the treated water base at a dosage of 0.1 mg/L. Therefore, PAAs may be a workable, and dependable, potable water treatment process for the high pollutant level of resource water.

말뚝이 결합된 블록식 안벽의 말뚝 근입깊이의 영향에 따른 거동파악을 하기 위해 잔류수위차 크기와 상치 콘크리트 유무 조건에 대하여 2차원 수치해석을 실시하였다. 수치해석 결과, 말뚝의 근입에 따라 안벽의 수평변위의 억제 효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, 말뚝이 사석층까지 근입된 경우에서 수평변위 억제 효과가 가장 크게 나타났다. 말뚝이 근입되지 않은 조건에서는 잔류수위차가 증가함에 따라 안벽의 수평변위도 비례적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 말뚝이 지반에 근입된 경우 잔류수위차가 증가하더라도 안벽의 수평변위에 대한 제어가 크게 발휘되었다. 상치콘크리트 유·무에 따른 블록식 안벽의 수평변위는 차이가 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝의 근입깊이가 사석층까지 근입된 경우 조건에서는 말뚝이 짧은 말뚝에서 보이는 회전 거동을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝의 근입깊이가 더 깊어짐에 따라 중간 말뚝의 거동과 같은 휨거동 양상을 보이는 것으로 해석되어 말뚝이 결합된 블록식 안벽에서 말뚝이 수평변위 억제에 크게 기여하는 것을 알 수 있다.

This study investigated the determinants of Tap Water consumption patterns. Socio-demographic variables(gender, family income, education level, residual area) and consumer attitude knowledge(confidence, knowledge, problem experience, risk perception and aesthetic satisfaction)were included in the analysis. Three hundred fifty-nine teachers were participated in this study. ANOVA(Scheffe test), t-test, regression and logistic regression were conducted. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Tap water was consumed by only 1.7%, boiled water prior to drinking by 37.9%, water filtered by 39.8% and bottled water by 19.0%. 2. Consumer attitude knowledge was affected by socio-demographic variables. That is, aesthetic satisfaction was affected by age, risk perception by gender and educational level, confidence by educational level, knowledge by gender and age, and problem experience by age. 3. Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, confidence and aesthetic satisfaction were the determinants of bottled water or filtered water choice. However, risk perception was not a significant determinant. This suggests alternatives to tap water is related to non-risk, or non-safety factors.

The purpose of this study was to study accumlated residual soils which may be one of the causes for yellowing of worn cloths. Wear and wash tests of white cotton undershirts were repeated at 30 households sellected at random over a period of 60 days. Laundry conditions were similar to home laundry habits in a fact-finding survey, using a powdery heavy duty detergent containing no enzymes or enzymes. The subjects in this study were survey of laundry actual condition, the undershirts from prior to and after the final washing was measured residual soils, $L^*a^*b^*$ value and mellowness index of CIE system. D3ta were analysed by simple correlation analysis of wear and wash cycle, residual soils, whiteness The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Using pattern of washing machine, Presoaking was no singinificant differnece in general characteristics of survey respondent. Laundry frequency was significant difference in income level, occupation of housewives whether or not. Use of cold and hot water was significant difference in residence shape. 2. The analyzed consequences of recognition and actual behavior in connection with laundry were found variables each other to have independence or not. 3. Amount of residual sebum soils is using non-enzyme detergent were much more than in using enzyme detergent, increased linearly with increase of the number of wear and wash cycles. 4. Residual protein soils with increase of the number wear and wash cycles less than in laundering more easy than sebum soils. Since accumulated residual sebum soils were much more than residual protein soils. 5. Increase of residual soils was raised mellowness index and diminshed whiteness. yellowness index of residual sebum soils was higher than protein soils. If increase of whiteness will be incresed, amount of residual sebum soils will be decreased sebum soils. Because amount of residual sebum soils much more than protein soils, yellowness index of residual sebum soils was more higher than that of protein soils.

풍화토나 풍화암 지반의 경우 집중호우에 의한 사면붕괴는 주로 지표면부근 2.0m 이내에서 발생되며, 강우발생 전에 사면 내 지하수위가 높지 않다면 강우가 지하수위 상승에 미치는 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 국내 사면설계에 적용되고 있는 우기시 지하수위 조건은 강우에 의해 지하수위가 지표면까지 상승하는 것으로 보고 있어, 사면의 활동 파괴면이 지표부근 보다는 사면 심부에서 발생되는 것으로 검토 되고 있다. 본 연구는 사면 안정에 주된 영향을 미치는 지하수위 조건의 적정성 여부를 검토하기 위하여 서울지역 30년 평균일강우량을 적용하여 실제 우기시 지하수위 상승 및 사면안정성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 지하수위 상승량은 사면 높이의 6.0~41.0%로 나타나 현재 통용되고 있는 우기시 지하수위 적용 기준이 과대평가되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

A set of experiments has been conducted on the performance sensitivity of the passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) for an advanced integral type reactor, SMART, by using a high temperature and high pressure thermal-hydraulic test facility, the VISTA facility. In this paper the effects of the opening delay of the PRHRS bypass valves and the closing delay of the secondary system isolation valves, and the initial water level and the initial pressure of the compensating tank (CT) are investigated. During the reference test a stable flow occurs in a natural circulation loop that is composed of a steam generator secondary side, a secondary system, and a PRHRS; this is ascertained by a repetition test. When the PRHRS bypass valves are operated 10 seconds later than the secondary system isolation valves, the primary system is not properly cooled. When the secondary system isolation valves are operated 10 or 30 seconds later than the PRHRS bypass valves, the primary system is effectively cooled but the inventory of the PRHRS CT is drained earlier. As the initial water level of the CT is lowered to 16% of the full water level, the water is quickly drained and then nitrogen gas is introduced into the PRHRS, resulting in the deterioration of the PRHRS performance. When the initial pressure of the PRHRS is at 0.1MPa, the natural circulation is not performed properly. When the initial pressures of the PRHRS are 2.5 or 3.5 MPa, they show better performance than did the reference test.

The influence of material composition such as aggregate types, addition of supplementary cementitious materials as well as exposed temperature levels have significant impacts on concrete residual mechanical strength properties when exposed to elevated temperature. This study is based on data obtained from literature for fly ash blended concrete produced with natural and recycled concrete aggregates to efficiently develop prediction models for estimating its residual compressive strength after exposure to high temperatures. To achieve this, an extensive database that contains different mix proportions of fly ash blended concrete was gathered from published articles. The specific design variables considered were percentage replacement level of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) in the mix, fly ash content (FA), Water to Binder Ratio (W/B), and exposed Temperature level. Thereafter, a simplified mathematical equation for the prediction of concrete's residual compressive strength using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) was developed. The relative importance of each variable on the model outputs was also determined through global sensitivity analysis. The GEP model performance was validated using different statistical fitness formulas including R², MSE, RMSE, RAE, and MAE in which high R² values above 0.9 are obtained in both the training and validation phase. The low measured errors (e.g., mean square error and mean absolute error are in the range of 0.0160 - 0.0327 and 0.0912 - 0.1281 MPa, respectively) in the developed model also indicate high efficiency and accuracy of the model in predicting the residual compressive strength of fly ash blended concrete exposed to elevated temperatures.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of raw water pH and basicity of coagulants on turbidity removal with several raw waters having different level of turbidity, alkalinity and pH. Raw waters were sampled from M, S and B water treatment plants(WTP) located at Miryang, Nakdong, Han river, respectively. Six coagulants which have different levels of basicity and aluminum contents were used for this evaluation. High basicity of the coagulant helped to properly control coagulation processes for treating turbid and low alkali raw water. It was difficult for operators to determine optimum coagulant dose for high basicity coagulants, since residual turbidity tended to decrease continuously as coagulant dose increased. Turbidity removal efficiencies with high basicity coagulants(E and F) were higher than the other coagulants at ambient pH for the M WTP. Turbidity removal efficiencies, however, at adjusted pH 7.0 showed similar among six coagulants. Residual turbidity kept low at excess dosages with high basicity coagulants. Optimum coagulant dosages at adjusted pH 7.0 showed higher than those at ambient pH in M WTP. On the contrary in B WTP, optimum coagulant dosage at ambient pH were higher than that at adjusted pH 7.0.

This study was conducted to evaluate the heavy metal contamination in the soils of Maehyang-ri inland shooting range area. The texture of the Maehyang-ri inland shooting range soil was sandy. Extraction of heavy metals reached quasi-equilibrium within 6 hours using shaking with 0.1 N HCl. 95% and 94% of extraction efficiency was observed for Cu and Pb in the Maehyang-ri shooting range soils, respectively. And Cu and Pb contamination of level of the T-1 region soil was $114.4{\pm}5.7mg/kg$ and $362.3{\pm}20.5mg/kg$. This may be due to the effects of mineralogical factor, soil particle size and un-residual fractions such as exchangeable, carbonate, Fe-Mn oxide and organic+sulfide.

본 논문은 California의 South Lake Tahoe, 서울 뚝섬정수장 그리고 성남 복정정수장에서 2010년 2월에서 2012년 2월까지 수행된 파일럿 실험에 대한 분석결과를 기초로 작성되었다. 본 실험의 목적은 첫째, 한강을 원수로 하는 모래여과 처리수에 대한 오존 및 과산화수소(Peroxone)의 반응특성을 파악하고, 둘째는 AOP(고도산화공정)을 통해 맛 냄새 유발물질인 2-methylisoborneol(MIB)를 제거하기위한 경험적인 오존 및 과산화수소의 투입량을 결정하고자 하였다. 또한 셋째로, 처리공정이후 인체에 안전한 잔류오존농도로 감소시키기 위한 최적 투입량을 결정하고자 하였다. 본 실험은 계절의 기온변화에 따라 저수온 및 고수온의 조건하에서 실시간으로 수행되었다. 본 실험을 통해 오존의 분해속도는 온도와 pH에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 다른 연구결과와 일치한다. 원수로 모래여과수에 MIB를 40~50ng/L의 농도로 투입하였으며, 모든 경우에서 7ng/L 이하로 처리되었으며 대부분의 경우에서 검출(ND)되지 않았다. Peroxone은 MIB을 제거할 뿐아니라 오존을 단독으로 사용한 경우보다 오존+과산화수소 동시에 투입한 경우에 잔류오존농도가 더 낮았다. 저수온에서 상당량의 오존이 반응 및 분해를 통해 감소된다. 본 실험을 통해 "Pre-Conditioned" 과산화수소를 적용함으로써 초기 반응율을 향상시키고 잔류오존농도를 낮출 수 있었으며, 약품의 과투입 및 효율저하를 방지하는 과산화수소의 투입 위치 및 구성 그리고 투입방법을 제시하였다.
