Increased impervious surface caused by rapid urbanization serves to produce the discharge of non-point source pollutants such as total suspended solid (TSS). There exist various methods of removing TSS, including a filtration process using granular media (a well-known method to be practically used after the consideration of removal efficiency, clogging, and backwashing efficiency). To determine the TSS removal capability of the filter, we initially performed lab-scale experiments which assessed flow rates, influent concentrations, permeability co-efficients, the particular shapes of suspended solids and potential clogging, and also evaluated TSS removal efficiency when applied to filtration facility in a pilot-scale. In low filtration flux condition, the removal efficiency of suspended solids was more than 95 %, while decreased to 83% in high filtration flux. Regarding the clogging aspect of the experiment, total cumulative solids were loaded up to $19.15kg/m^2$, and TSS removal efficiency was noted to commence to decrease when the loaded solids exceeded $9.0kg/m^2$. It was also noted, however, that superior efficiency was maintained for six hours. In addition, for pilot-scale experiment, the removal efficiency was still high enough (83.4 %) for the solid concentration of 140 ~ 343 mg SS/L and after backwashing, head loss was recovered to 92 ~ 95 % during two hour filtration. With these results, It was confirmed that lifetime of the filter applied to the test was prolonged due to the high treatment efficiency and good backwashing efficiency for the cumulative solids load.

A method was proposed which employed control of the drop location of fertilizer particles on a spinner disc to optimize the spread pattern uniformity. The system contained an optical sensor as a feedback mechanism, which measured discharge velocity and location, as well as particle diameters to predict a spread pattern of a single disc. Simulations showed that the feed gate adaptation algorithm produced high quality patterns for any given application rate in the dual disc spreader. The performance of the feed gate control method was assessed using data collected from a Sulky spinner disc spreader. The results showed that it was always possible to find a spread pattern with an acceptable CV lower than 15%, even though the spread pattern was obtained from a rudimentary flat disc with straight radial vanes. A mathematical optimization method was used to find the initial parameter settings for a specially designed experimental spreading arrangement, which included the feed gate control system, for a given flow rate and swath width. Several experiments were carried out to investigate the relationship between the gate opening and flow rate, disc speed and particle velocity, as well as disc speed and predicted landing location of fertilizer particles. All relationships found were highly linear ($r^2$ > 0.96), which showed that the time-of-flight sensor was well suited as a feedback sensor in the rate and uniformity controlled spreading system.

Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) do not fully remove micropollutants. Enhanced treatment of sewage effluents is being considered or implemented in some countries to minimize the discharge of problematic micropollutants from WWTPs. Representative enhanced sewage treatment technologies for micropollutant removal were reviewed, including their current status of research and development. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as ozonation and UV/H₂O₂ and adsorption processes using powdered (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC) were mainly discussed with focusing on process principles for the micropollutant removal, effect of process operation and water matrix factors, and technical and economic feasibility. Pilot- and full-scale studies have shown that ozonation, PAC, and GAC can achieve significant elimination of various micropollutants at economically feasible costs(0.16-0.29 €/m³). Considering the current status of domestic WWTPs, ozonation and PAC were found to be the most feasible options for the enhanced sewage effluent treatment. Although ozonation and PAC are all mature technologies, a range of technical aspects should be considered for their successful application, such as energy consumption, CO₂ emission, byproduct or waste generation, and ease of system construction/operation/maintenance. More feasibility studies considering domestic wastewater characteristics and WWTP conditions are required to apply ozonation or PAC/GAC adsorption process to enhance sewage effluent treatment in Korea.

본 연구는 전라북도 내 하수처리장 방류수를 효율적으로 재이용하기 위해 일일 방류량이 $5,000m^3$ 이상 되는 12개 하수처리장을 대상으로 방류수 수질을 조사하고 처리장 주변 현황을 파악하여 용도별 재이용 가능성을 제안하는데 목적을 두었다. 추가적으로 방류수를 재처리하기 위한 실험실규모의 실험도 수행하였다. 방류수는 7개 용도별 수질기준에 근거하여 중금속 16개 항목을 포함한 총 28개 항목을 수질 분석하였다. 분석결과 부적합 항목은 색도, BOD, TN, SS, 염화물, 전기전도도 등 6개 항목이며, 색도와 TN이 각각 8개소, 5개소로 가장 높았다. 유입원수가 공단폐수 및 음식물처리수가 유입되는 처리장의 경우 염화물과 전기전도도가 높았다. 방류수 재처리없이 직접 재이용수로 가능한 처리장은 4개소였다. 실험실 규모의 실험(Lab test)은 모래여과(SF)-활성탄흡착(GAC)-정밀여과(MF)-역삼투압(RO) 순으로 실험을 수행하였다. 총대장균군, 색도, 부유물질(SS) 제거는 SF와 GAC조합이 경제성과 처리 효율면에서 가장 적절하였으며, 염화물과 전기전도도는 SF, GAC, MF에서는 큰 효과가 없었으며, RO처리 후 90% 이상의 제거효율을 보였다. $UV_{254}$는 원수가 0.3651/cm에서 SF-GAC공정 후 0.0306/cm로 92% 이상의 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 중금속 중 총붕소(B-total)는 SF-GAC-MF-RO 처리 후 0.7054 mg/L에서 0.0854 mg/L로 88% 제거효율을 보였다. 결론적으로 각 처리장은 방류수 수질분석결과와 주변 지형을 고려하여 방류수 재이용 용도를 선택하여야 한다. 또한 재처리가 필요한 경우 처리할 수질 항목과 처리비용을 고려한 처리방법을 결정하는 것이 적절하다고 판단된다.

플라즈마 화학 기상 증착법으로 구리 막$(foil,\;35{\mu}m)$표면 위에 $SiH_4$와 Ar혼합가스를 공급하여 실리콘 박막을 증착 한 후 리튬 이온전지의 음극으로 활용하였다. 증착 온도에 따라 비정질 실리콘 박막과 copper silicide박막 형태의 다른 두 종류의 실리콘 박막 구조가 형성되는 것이 관찰되었다. $200^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 비정질 실리콘 박막이 증착되었고, $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 실리콘 라디칼과 확산된 구리 이온의 반응에 의한 그래뉼러 형태의 copper silicide박막이 형성되었다. 비정질 실리콘 박막은 copper silicide박막 보다 높은 용량을 나타냈으나 충·방전 반응에 의한 급격한 용량 손실을 나타냈다. 이것은 비정질 실리콘 박막의 부피 팽창에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 copper silicide 박막을 음극으로 사용했을 때는 copper silicide를 형성한 실리콘과 구리의 화학결합이 막 구조의 부피변화를 감소 시켜줄 뿐 아니라 낮은 전기 저항을 갖기 때문에 싸이클 특성이 향상되었다.
