The effect of ozone oxidation on biodegradability of leachate was studied. Ozone oxidation process was used as pre-treatment process to enhance performance of biological process in treating landfill leachate. Optimum ozone dosing rate and contact time in this experiment was $160mg\;O_3/L$ hr and 45 minutes, respectively. Biodegradability was enhanced 5.08% by ozone oxidation. The ratio of ozone demand/DOC concentration was $0.049{\sim}0.091mg\;O_3/mg$ DOC. The increase of biodegradability depending on ozone dosing rate(D) and contact time(T) can be expressed as follows ; ${\Delta}E=0.00479{\cdot}D^{0.773}{\cdot}T^{0.800}$ The biodegradation rate of DOC was increased proportionally with the increase of ozone dosing rate and contact time irrespective of landfill site age. The increase of biodegradability by ozone addition was not satisfactory. It is hard to expect significant increase in biodegradability by ozone treatment only. Thus, it is evaluated that ozone oxidation can not increase biodegradability significantly in concentrated wastewater composed of complex organic compound such as leachate.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in quality of soybean sprouts grown by ozone treatment during storage. Soybean spouts were cultivated under conditions of ozone water watering after soaking in water (W/W), watering after soaking in ozone water (O/W), ozone water watering after soaking in water (W/O) and ozone water watering after soaking in ozone water (O/O). The ozone concentration in soaking of soybean and watering of soybean sprouts was 0.3 ppm, respectively. No significant difference in shelf-life between W/W soybean sprouts and ozone treated samples showed. But shelf-life of soybean sprouts stored in 0.01 ㎜ polyethylene film at 10$\^{C}$ and 20$\^{C}$ prolonged 4 and 2 days, respectively. The slow growth of total microbe in the ozone treated samples stored at 10$\^{C}$ was observed, whereas that of products at 20$\^{C}$ showed rapid growth during storage. However, no great difference occurred among samples in the changes of moisture, vitamin C and chlorophyll content during storage. Higher hardness of soybean spouts stored at 10$\^{C}$ and 20$\^{C}$ was kept in the O/W and W/O products. Color, flavor and overall acceptability evaluated by sensory teat during storage had higher scores in O/W products as compared to the other samples.

We studied on the decoloring effect of viscose rayon by vapor type ozone processing using ozone's strong oxidation. When ozone is generated, it becomes high concentration in vapor state, but in the insolving process with water, there are a lot of lose of ozone. As a result, a study using ozone in vapor-high concentration state is needed. So, in this paper, vapor type ozone processing is used unlike previous ozone treatment method-an aqueous solution method-to get a good effect from shortening the processing time. When vapor type ozone processing was directly treated to fabrics, high concentration ozone was generated then in a short time oxidized a dye existed in fabrics and finally decolored it. As vapor type ozone did not directly response to an organic dye, viscose rayon's decolorization was to be studied by changing pick up ratio(60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%) using water as a medium. When pick up ratio of water was 40%, fabric's whiteness was improved but tensile strength and elongation were reduced. So 60 minutes was assumed as the most adjust time to minimize the reduction of fabric's tensile strength and elongation moreover of maximize the improvement of whiteness.

This study is currently giving priority to developing the ship's ballast water treatment system using ozone (Ozone BWTS). The Ozone BWTS was tested in a full scale land-based mobile barge to evaluate performance according to the IMO G8 Guidelines. Test cycles using the mobile-barge were conducted in seawater and brackish water in the vicinity of the Port of Busan and Nakdong River, Republic of Korea. All tests were conducted according to the requirements of the G8 Guidelines. Test results show that the Ozone BWTS meets the Ballast Water Performance Standard contained in Regulation D-2 of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention, as well as all of the operational, safety, and environmental testing requirements of the G8 Guidelines, as required for type approval of IMO. The study results show that the Ozone BWTS is capable of meeting the Ballast Water Performance Standard under Regulation D-2 of the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, and also the more stringent standards being proposed under US legislation.

Dye wastewater generally contains strong color and non-biodegradable materials. Therefore, the conventional wastewater treatment plant can hardly meet the regulation of wastewater effluent water. In this study, a pilot plant of the conventional process followed by advanced oxidation process (AOP), was set up to treat the dying wastewater. The treatment efficiencies on the various candidate processes, such as ozone alone, UV alone, ozone/UV, $ozone/H_2O_2$, $H_2O_2/UV$ and $ozone/UV/H_2O_2$, were investigated in the various ozone and $H_2O_2$ doses. As the results, the $ozone/H_2O_2$ process, among the tested processes, showed the highest efficiency for removing color and $COD_{Cr}$. For color removal, the ozone alone process was enough without combining UV or $H_2O_2$. No significantly enhanced efficiency for removing color and $COD_{Cr}$ by UV irradiation was observed because of the very low transmittance of UV light in dye wastewater.

The purpose of this study was to monitor bacteria present in raw water and to investigate the effect of ozone, UV and combined ozone/UV processes for inactivating bacteria. Both polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-fragment length polymorphic analysis (PRA) and PCR-sequence analysis (PSA) were applied for the simultaneous analysis of numerous bacteria species present in each tested water, such as drinking water (DRW), drinking water source (DRWS) and sewage effluent water (SEW). According to the result, the number of detected bacteria species was zero in DRW, 58 in DRWS and 13 in SEW. After treatment of the each process, the ozone/UV process was the most successful for inactivating almost all bacteria. However, it was found that Flavobacterium sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Beta proteobacterium sp. had strong resistant to all tested processes, requiring further detailed study.

There are 5 purification plants with the adopted advanced water purification treatment process in Korea. Annual operating costs were 8,990 million won including purchase cost of oxygen and power usage charges. We need research to optimize, in the future, when considering the direction of domestic water treatment continues to adopt advanced water treatment process. In this paper, calculate the optimal operating costs by injected the oxygen gas, used power cost. approximately 25% of the operating costs can be reduced when injected the ozone gas is 1.0ppm than 2.0ppm, the necessary amount of oxygen is increased then power is lower. so operating costs are decided according to oxygen costs. On the other hand, high ozone concentration 2.0ppm, the necessary power is increased then amount of oxygen is lower. Therefore, in the case of G purification plant, the controlling factor of the input ozone concentration 2ppm, PID control operation by setting the concentration of over 10Wt% is efficient. The installed capacity is the more little the more better when considering on Ozone injection rate in the process of water treatment.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of paracetic acid (PAA) and ozone disinfection on the tensile bond strength (TBS) of silicone-based resilient liners to acrylic resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred and twenty dumbbell shaped heat-polymerized acrylic resins were prepared. From the mid segment of the specimens, 3 mm of acrylic were grinded off and separated parts were reattached by resilient liners. The specimens were divided into 2 control (control1, control7) and 4 test groups of PAA and ozone disinfection (PAA1, PAA7, ozone1 and ozone7; n=10). While control groups were immersed in distilled water for 10 min (control1) and 7 days (control7), test groups were subjected to PAA (16 g/L) or ozone rich water (4 mg/L) for 1 cycle (10 min for PAA and 60 min for ozone) per day for 7 days prior to tensile tests. Measurements of the TBS were analyzed using 3-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test. RESULTS. Adhesive strength of Mollosil decreased significantly by application of ozone disinfection. PAA disinfection had no negative effect on the TBS values of Mollosil and Molloplast B to acrylic resin. Single application of ozone disinfection did not have any negative effect on TBS values of Molloplast B, but prolonged exposure to ozone decreased its adhesive strength. CONCLUSION. The adhesion of resilient liners to acrylic was not adversely affected by PAA disinfection. Immersion in ozonated water significantly decreased TBS of Mollosil. Prolonged exposure to ozone negatively affects adhesion of Molloplast B to denture base materials.
