The effectiveness of a UV(ultra violet) disinfection system depends on the characteristics of the waste water, flow conditions, the intensity of UV radiation, the amount of time the microorganisms are exposed to the radiation, and the reactor configuration. The wast water flow conditions are important factors in the design of UV disinfection system from the point of enhancement view of UV disinfection. The turbulent energy intensity in the wake by the vortex shedding are effective for UV radiation. Therewith the effectiveness of vortex generator is considered as a enhancement of UV disinfection. The experimental results presented give important evidences and explain that it is possible to predict UV disinfection performance based on flow experiments. An experimental investigation of two types of the vortex generator is presented. The qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the wake are made by flow visualization using smoke wire method and the measurement of vortex frequencies in the wind tunnel. From the experiment, following results were obtained that the delta wing type vortex generator is more effective than circular type because of the higher vortex frequencies and the smaller drag.

Recently, the use of UVC lamps inside building air-conditioning system has been increasing in both medical and nonmedical buildings for the control of environmental microorganisms. In the present study, irradiance performance test of UVC lamp was carried out and surface sterilization effect of UV ray was investigated by using UV ray irradiation experimental chamber and pilot system. Experimental results show that the effective irradiance of UVC lamp is strongly dependent on air velocity and temperature with exception of relative huminity in air-conditioning system. An individual microbiological kill effectiveness experiment also shows that the fractional kill of two microbiological samples such as E. Coli and Legionella is roughly the same as the estimated fractional kill in the case of chamber test and pilot system test.

The irradiation of Ultra-Violet (UV) is an efficient treatment for polymer to improve hydrophilic properties. 4-Channel PET knit fabrics were treated with UVA and UVC to develop functional and environment-friendly fabric. The fabric was treated with various treatment times and distances from UV lamps having different wavelength. FT-IR and XPS investigated the chemical changes. To confirm the change of surface properties, contact angle, surface energy and SEM were examined. The study of UV as a treatment for PET knit fabric shows significant changes in chemical and surface properties, which is proved by analyses. FT-IR and XPS analyses prove the augmentation of carboxylic, Hydrophilic groups on the surfaces treated by UV. The increase of water contact angle and surface energy means more water wettable and surface energy of PET film was substantially increased by UV irradiation time. The ageing after surface treatment had little influence on the surface energy of the irradiated PET film. SEM proves the surface modification of PET such as etching, bubble and crack. The negative effects are increased in accordance with increasing treatment time.

The purpose of this study was to develop functional and environment-friendly polyester fabric by irradiating Ultra-Violet, which was produced by the low-pressure mercury lamp. UV irradiation was conducted with various treatment times and distances. Also, pretreatments of solvents and photoinitiator were used to improve the surface modification effects. The effects of UV irradiation on the moisture regain were found to increase gradually with increase of UV treatment time and decrease of treatment distance. Compared the effects of UVC and UVA, UVC was more effective than UVA. Moisture regain and wicking of PET was increased after UV treatment in our experimental condition. And owing to increasing of moisture regain, static charge was decreased. Pretreatment of solvents such as methanol, ethyl ether and addition of photoinitiator such as Benzophenone accelerated surface modification. The moisture regain was increased but wicking was decreased with pretreatment and addition of photoinitiatior. Therefore it is considered as inappropriate f3r clothing because of wicking effects. Yellowness, tensile strength and elasticity slightly decreased after UV irradiation.

The purpose of this study is to identify the conceptions of middle school students and teachers about Visible-Light, Ultra-Violet(UV) and Infrared-Ray(IR). We administered questionnaire 3 teacher and 102 students(48 people of middle school 2nd students and 54 people of middle school 3rd students) who learned by 3 teachers in seoul. From the analysis, it was found that many students and teachers didn't understand the basic principle of UV and IR. Significant number of students belive that it is possible to see objects the absence of visible light. Most students belive that they can see objects in the presence of UV light alone. They think that "Light" is single concept. Teachers were generally more aware of the origin and explanation of UV. But teachers expressed some uncertainties. They tend to think negative effect for UV.

Attempts to isolate the naturally occurring ultra-violet resistant bacteria from environmental sources were made. The isolates, designated No.29, 100, and 107, among numbers of bacterial isolates revealed a remarkable resistance to UV ray, whose degree of resistance in dose/response kinetics was comparable to that of an endospore-former, Bacillus subtilis. In a range of 100-300 $Jm^{-2}$/min of UV irradiation, the isolates exhibited 500-1000 fold resistance compated with E. coli. The isolated appeared to possiss cell-bound pigment of organge or crimson-red. The isolate 29 is spherical in pairs or tetrads, whereas the isolates 100 and 107 are rod. All are Gram-gositive bacteria and seemed to be non-endospore-bearer. A number of biochemical studies pursued on the isolates suggested that they are quite different to each other. Electron microscopic examination and the physiological characters of the isolate 29 suggested that this UV resistant spherical bacterium might be one species of Deinococcus, probably Deinococus radiophilus. Since there is no documents on UV resistant, Gram-positive, non-sporeformer bacillus so far, the isolates 100 and 107 might be turned out as new kinds of UV resistant bacteria occurring in nature by further investigation.

UV disinfection system allows the disinfection of municipal and industrial water and wastewater without the use of expensive chlorination and dechlorination techniques, labor intensive equipments In traditional ultraviolet systems the UV lamps are seperated from water by quartz sleeves. quartz is one of. the few materials that is virtually transparent to UV light, the UV lamp is placed inside the Quartz sleeve. UV light from the lamp is passed through the quartz and into the water, thereby providing disinfection. In fluoropolymer tube-used non-contact UV systems, the water flows through fluoropolymer plastic tubes. banks of UV lamps surround these tubes such that each tube gets exposed to ultra violet light from all sides. in non-contact design the lamps operates at almost constant temperature. this design is extremly efficient in the utilization of UV energy and superior to conventional contact- systems.

In this paper, we investigated the phosphor degradation characteristics on the ultra violet ray (UV) irradiation as well as ion bombardment. We propose a novel experiment method which is related with phosphor degradation causes. The phosphor deterioration experiments were made on the UV irradiation as well as ion bombardment. To carry out the experiment and compare the results, we made up the specific experimental setup. The results show that the deterioration by ion damage is more rigorous than that by vacuum ultra violet (VUV) on the phosphor efficiency.
