Considering the characteristics of a filtration bio-reactor equipped with a mesh filter module which can effectively maintain high concentration of biomass and enhanced solid-liquid separation performance, the hybrid process of filtration bio-reactor combined with coagulation was investigated to get improved filtration characteristics as well as water quality in this work. Two bio-reactors (Run-1 & Run-2) were operated under the following conditions: working volume of 25 L, continuous loading of a synthetic wastewater (BOD: 200 mg/L, T-N: 50 mg/L, T-P: 5 mg/L), where an appropriate amount of alum ($Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}18H_2O$) was added once a day into the reactor (Run-2). In the system without using a alum (Run-1), the clogging of mesh filter module was observed two times through 85 days of whole operation. Meanwhile, the filter module did not clog even at higher MLSS concentration (6,000~12,000 mg/L) and the stable filtration (0.7 mid) was continued in the case of using a alum. Due to the stable formation of cake layers, BOD and SS were shown below 6 and 3 mg/L, respectively. T-P and pH of the effluent were changed because of the intermittent addition of the alum. In the case of Al/P=2.5, the average T-P removal efficiency per day was 85.2% and the average T-P concentration of the effluent was 0.3 mg/L. However, the removal efficiency of phosphate was influenced by pH in the reactor.

슬러리 쉴드 TBM (Slurry shield TBM) 공법에서 벤토나이트 슬러리의 침투와 필터 케이크의 형성 여부는 공법의 적용성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 벤토나이트 슬러리는 해수와 접촉하였을 때 팽윤성과 점도가 저하되어 공법에 대한 적용성을 확보하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 해수의 영향에 따른 슬러리 쉴드 TBM 공법의 적용성 변화를 평가하기 위해 슬러리의 해수 비율을 다르게 하여 주입 실험을 수행하였고 해수가 슬러리의 폐색 현상에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 해수의 비율이 0%에서 20%까지 증가할수록 폐색 효과에 의한 슬러리 쉴드 TBM 공법의 적용성을 나타내는 slurry clogging criteria (SCC)가 최대 67%까지도 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 슬러리의 물리적 성질이 동일함에도 지반 조건에 따라 SCC값이 공법 적용에 문제가 없는 수준에서 공법 적용을 위해 슬러리에 추가적인 처리를 요하는 수준으로 변화하는 것을 통해 슬러리 쉴드 TBM의 적용성을 평가할 때 슬러리의 특성뿐만 아니라 지반 조건에 대한 고려도 필요함을 입증하였다.

Abundant growth of algae in raw water sources caused by eutrophication brings about significant side effects on water supply, such as taste and order problem, oxygen depletion, toxic material secretion, and filter clogging problem in water treatment process, etc. The purpose of this research is to remove the algae and phosphorus compounds in the Pal-dang reservoir promptly by using the upflow filtration system with coagulant addition. The filter tower consisted of sand media and sieve filter with air back-washing process. By using coagulation and filtration with $132{\mu}m$ pore size filter, about 55% and 70% of algae and phosphorus compounds were removed respectively. The experimental conditions were as follows; head loss of 0.2m, linear velocity of 200m/day, and filtration flux of 1000($L/m^2/day$). In the case of filtration with cartridge type filter of $25{\mu}m$ pore size, the filtration flux was about 7800 LMH, and the removal ratios of COD, SS, T-P, and Chlo-a. were 61%, 99%, 54%, and 98%, respectively. However, high pressure air back-washing process with should be required for the maintenance of such high filtration flux.

안료 생산 공정의 슬러지로부터 물을 제거하는 감량화 공정은 제품의 질 향상, 건조경비 절감 그리고 안료 운송경비 절감 등의 다양한 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 안료입자는 크기가 $5{\mu}m$ 이하로 미세하여 기계적인 힘에 의한 탈수가 어렵다. 미세입자의 탈수율 향상을 위해 기존의 필터프레스 탈수장치의 압착판 사이에 고정 열판을 장착하고, 열수를 고정열판에 공급하여 케이크 층에 열을 공급하여 슬러지 탈수하는 열필터프레스 탈수장치를 개발하였다. 이 장치를 통해 압착공정의 유무 탈수시간 변화와 같은 변수 실험을 통해 안료슬러지에 대한 탈수율 평가하였다. 그 결과 열 탈수 시 압착공정에 의한 탈수율이 비압착공정에 비하여 약 20% 증가하였다. 압착공정이 있는 경우, 탈수시간을 70분과 80분으로 하여 수행한 결과 탈수시간이 80분으로 길게 하였을 때, 함수율 46.7wt%에서 43.9wt%로 감소하였고, 탈수속도는 $4.0DSkg/m^2{\cdot}hr$에서 $3.5DSkg/m^2{\cdot}hr$으로 감소한 것으로 분석되었다. 열 탈수는 케이크 층으로부터 액체의 배출을 원활이 할 수 있어 장치의 여과포 막힘 현상(Clogging)을 최소화 할 수 있음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해, 압착공정이 탈수율 향상에 효과적이며, 탈수시간이 80분으로 길게 할 경우, 저함수율 탈수 케이크를 생산할 수 있지만 탈수속도의 감소로 인한 생산량 저감을 초래할 수 있다. 즉 본 연구에서 개발한 열필터프레스 탈수장치를 안료와 같은 미세입자가 함유된 슬러지에 적용한다면 보다 효과적으로 탈수케이크를 생산 할 수 있을 것으로 분석된다.

Non-point pollutants, which mainly originate from high traffic roads and rural areas, contaminate the environment by flowing into various rivers and lakes and thus are of interest as an environmental issue. Accordingly, efforts have been made to design and maintain efficient filter systems for the control of the non-point pollutants. Meanwhile, clay-type materials are widely used for the absorption of chemicals included in pollutants and the absorption performances of various clays have been reported in the literature. Thus, the present study proposes a non-destructive monitoring method for the performance of a clay-type filter using electrical resistivity measurement. A series of experimental tests is performed on celite-based particulate filters with infiltrating non-point source pollutants having the same characteristics as pollutants on high traffic roads. Each test measures permeability, resistivity of the filter materials and resistivity of the filtrated water. As the particulate filter materials filtrate pollutants and absorb heavy chemicals (e.g., $Cr^{6+}$, lead, nickel, among others), ionic concentration increases resulting as the electrical resistivity decrease. When the filter systems approach the end of their lifetime, the electrical resistivity of the filter material converges to a very low value due to lowered filter absorption efficiency. Hence, the electrical resistivity of the filtrated water also converges to a low value due to high concentrations of heavy metals. The permeability converges to a very low value because of significantly reduced porosity due to clogging and absorption of pollutants on the filter material. The experimental results show that electrical resistivity monitoring of filter materials is a promising approach to estimation of filter performance and its life expectancy.

Drip irrigation system is a low energy cost method which can efficiently save and supply water by dropping water slowly on the crop's root zone during crop growth. In the drip irrigation system, disk filters take an important role to physically remove impurity (inorganic and suspended organic) particles present in agricultural water which can cause emitter clogging. For the purpose, both top-and-bottom surfaces of the disk are grooved in micron size flowing from outside to inside. However, many congested flow paths in disk filter media incur higher head loss of inflow water resulting in relatively decreasing velocities depending on operation time than sand and mesh filters. Therefore, it is important to optimize the structure of disk filter in micro irrigation system. The head loss of disk filter media takes also charge of more than 60 % of total head loss in whole disk filter. This study is to find the appropriate cross-sectional shape of the disk groove to minimize the head loss by executing the experiment. The experiment used three disk filters that have similar filter body but have a half-elliptic and two kinds of triangular cross sections. The experimental results showed that the disk filter with half-elliptic cross sections of disk grooves have less head loss than the disk filter with regular triangular one.

Health effects associated with metal working fluid (MWF) exposures include dermatitis, respiratory disease, hypersensitive pneumonitis, and asthma. Frequently, occupational exposures to MWFs are controlled by ventilating an enclosure with an air cleaning unit that includes a fan preceded by various kinds of filtration. There are several kinds of air cleaning units used in machining centers. But the associated troubles have hindered from efficiently using these devices. The main problem is the relatively short period of filter replacement. The reason is that the air cleaning units usually do not have the de-oiling systems, thus leading the earlier clogging of filters and reducing the flow rate of hood. Thus, the first stage of study was conducted to overcome this problem by developing the new oil mist collector equipped with the easy de-oiling system. The principle of de-oiling is that the centrifugal force generated by spinning the drum covered by filter fabric separates oils from the filter fabric. It would be very similar to the spin-dry laundry. By adopting this de-oiling technique, the problems associated with the conventional oil mist collectors could be solved. Several tests/analyses were performed to make the lab-scale oil mist collector. The collection efficiencies and the de-oiling efficiencies of commercially available filter fabrics were tested. Subsequently, the endurance test were conducted by observing SEM photos of filter fabrics and measuring tensile strength/expansion coefficient after spinning the filter drum for 20 minutes at the different rotation speeds. By doing these experiments, the most appropriate filter fabric and rotation speed/duration were selected. Finally, the new oil mist collector was designed. In the near future, this device must be tested in the real machining center.

Currently, the coolant system in industrial sites is an efficient process to keep clean cutting oils. However, the damage to a pump occurs due to a chip and debris when inhaled into the pump, and thus problems such as the reduction of both efficiency and lifespan might arise. In this study, a new type of filter was developed in order to primarily prevent the damage from the pump impeller and make it unnecessary to have the replacement and cleaning at the same time. This study found the problem reducing the suction volumetric efficiency and cavitation when inhaled, and conducted a method to solve the problem compared to the result of fluid analysis according to two velocity conditions. As a result, this study achieved the effect of lowering the pressure and meeting the suction flow rate by connecting the four filters.
