Deposition of flame-synthesized silica particles onto a target is utilized in optical fiber preform fabrication processes. The particles are convected and deposited onto the target. Falkner-Skan wedge flow was chosen as the particle laden flow. Typically the particles are polydisperse in size and follow a lognormal size distribution. Brownian diffusion, thermophoresis, and coagulation of the particles were considered and effects of these phenomena on particle deposition were studied. A moment model was developed in order to predict the particle number density and the particle size distribution simultaneously. Particle deposition with various wedge configurations was examined for conditions selected for a typical VAD process. When coagulation was considered, mean particle size and its standard deviation increased and particle number density decreased, compared to the case without coagulation. These results proved the fact that coagulation effect expands particle size distribution. The results were discussed with characteristics of thermal and diffusion boundary layers. As the boundary layers grow in thickness, overall temperature and concentration gradients decrease, resulting in decrease of deposition rate and increase of particle residence time in the flow and thus coagulation effect.

A simple bimodal model has been developed to analyze charged particle coagulation by modifying previously suggested bimdal model for evolution of particle generation and growth. In the present model, two monodisperse modes are used and 40 charge nodes are assigned to each mode to account both change of the particle size and charge distribution. In addition, we also implemented the effect of electrostatic dispersion loss in the present model. Based on the developed model, we analyzed coagulation of asymmetric bipolar charged particles by computing evolutions of particle number concentration, geometric mean diameter of particles, charge asymmetric ratio and geometric standard deviation of particle size distribution for various initial charge asymmetric ratios. The number concentration of asymmetric bipolar charged particles decreases faster than that of neutral particles but that does not give faster growth of particles since the electrostatic dispersion loss overwhelms particle growth by coagulation.

Nanosize ZnO particles were prepared by oxidation of zinc vapor and the particle growth was modeled by a coagulation model by assuming that the characteristic time for reaction was much shorter than coagulation time and residence time (${\tau}_{reaction}{\ll}{\tau}_{coagulation}{\ll}{\tau}_{residence}$). Experimental measurement of zinc oxide particles diameter was consistent with the predicted result from the coagulation model. For practical purpose of predicting zinc oxide size in areosol reactor, the constant kernel solution is concluded to be sufficient, Uniqueness of nano-scale property of zinc oxide was confirmed by the higher photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide than nanosize titania particles.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal condition for granite particle coagulation process by using various chemical coagulation agents. The coagulation of a suspended granite particle was monitored by using various different coagulants, such as $Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}14H_2O,{\;}FeCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O,{\;}SA-solution(KOH{\;}+{\;}Al(OH)_3{\;}+{\;}K_2CO_3{\;}mixture)$ and jade particle. To accomplish this study, analysis of water quality, removing Turbidity and Packing Density were measured with jar-tester. In the results of this experiment, it was found that the removal rate of the granite particle was increased with the decrease of the pH of the sludge. The turbidity(NTU) at the above coagulants was reduced from 95% to 98%. Removed of Turbidity and Packing Density was more efficiency to the SA-solution than others.

A numerical analysis on condensation and coagulation of the metallic species with fly ash particles pre-existing in an incinerator was performed. Waste was simplified as a mixture of methane, chlorine, and small amounts of Pb and Sn. Vapor-phase amounts of Pb- and Sn -compounds were first calculated assuming a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Then theories on vapor-to-particle conversion, vapor condensation onto the fly ash particles, and particle-particle interaction were examined and incorporated into equations of aerosol dynamics and vapor continuity. It was assumed that the particles followed a log-normal size distribution and thus a moment model was developed in order to predict the particle concentration and the particle size distribution simultaneously. Distributions of metallic vapor concentration (or vapor pressure) were also obtained. Temperature drop rate of combustion gas, fly ash concentration and its size were selected as parameters influencing the discharged amount of metallic species. In general, the coagulation between the newly formed metal particles and the fly ash particles was much greater than that between the metal particles themselves or between the fly ash particles themselves. It was also found that the amount of metallic species discharged into the atmosphere was increased due to coagulation. While most of PbO vapors produced from the combustion were eliminated due to combined effect of condensation and coagulation, the highly volatile species, PbCl$_{2}$ and SnCl$_{4}$ vapors tended to discharge into the atmosphere without experiencing either the condensation or the coagulation. For Sn vapors the tendency was between that of PbO vapors and that of PbCl$_{2}$ or SnCl$_{4}$. To restrain the discharged amount of hazardous metallic species, the coagulation should be restrained, the number concentration and the size of pre-existing fly ash particles should be increased, and the temperature drop rate of combustion gas should be kept low.

A study on the particle growth in $TEOS/O_2$ plasma was performed by observing the particle size and its morphology by TEM. The qualitative chemical analysis of particles was also determined by the EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer). The effects of process variables such as the plasma on-time and bubbler temperature on the particle growth were investigated. The particle size becomes larger as the plasma on-time because of the longer coagulation, and also as the bubbler temperature increases because of the faster coagulation between particles.

The log-normal size distribution theories developed recently for aerosol coagulation are reviewed. The analytical solutiosn to Brownian coagulation developed recently for various particle size regimes are reviewed. In order to describe the evolution of the size distribution of a coagulating aerosol over the entire size range, the analytical solutions developed individually for the free-molecule regime, the transition regime, the nearcontinuum regime, and the continuum regime have been combined. The work described here represents the first analytical solution to the aerosol coagulation problem covering the entire particle size range.

Achieving very low phosphorus levels in treated wastewater will require the installation of additional treatment. Phosphorus removal experiments by chemical coagulation were carried out for the effluent of wastewater treatment plant in this study. TP (total phosphorus) or phosphate were highly related to the addition of PAC (poly aluminium chloride) which is one of the inorganic coagulants. But, organic polymer did not significantly affect the phosphorus removal efficiency. Polymer affected the flocculation of particle especially particle matter less than 10 micrometer so, the number of micro particles was decreased by polymer dose. Chlorination would not affect on chemical coagulation process and TP and turbidity could be effectively removed by the co-addition of PAC and polymer.

플라즈마 반응기 내에서 입자 전하 분포가 Gaussian형태로 표현될 때 전하 분포를 가지는 입자들의 충돌에 의한 입자 성장을 discrete-sectional 모델을 사용하여 이론적으로 고찰하였다. 플라즈마 반응기 내에서 입자 성장을 분석하기 위해 monomer크기, monomer생성 속도 등의 공정 변수들을 변화시켰다. 입자 크기가 40 m이상인 큰 입자들은 플라즈마 반응기내에서 대부분이 음으로 존재하였으며 40 m이하인 작은 입자들은 음성, 중성 혹은 양으로 존재하였다 입자 충돌에 의해 입자 크기가 증가함에 따라 입자 표면적의 증가와 더불어 입자가 가지는 평균 음전하수도 증가하였다. 입자 충돌에 의해 큰 입자들이 생성됨에 따라 입자크기분포는 2개의 모드로 양분화 됐다. 본 연구의 이론 결과와 Shiratani 등 [3]의 실험결과가 비교적 잘 맞았으며 본 연구에서 사용한 모델식은 플라즈마 반응기 내에서 수 나노 크기의 입자 성장 연구에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The recycled washwater, which has different water quality and is produced about 5 to 20% of the total water volume treated, affects the unit operation of water treatment, especially coagulation process. However, the effects of recycled washwater on unit operation of water treatment have not been fully investigated. In this study, effects of recycled washwater on coagulation process were investigated to find the optimum coagulation condition by analyzing turbidity, $UV_{254}$, TOC removal efficiencies. In addition, effects of recycled washwater on residual Al after coagulation were studied by analyzing soluble and particulate Al. The size distribution and fractal dimension of coagulated also analyzed. The recycled washwater was lower pH than the raw water. And the recycled washwater had higher $UV_{254}$, TOC and residual Al concentration than the raw water. Residual Al concentration of recycled washwater was about 50 times higher than that of raw water. Optimum coagulant dosages on the blending recycled washwater and the raw water for turbidity, $UV_{254}$ and Al removal were lower than that on the raw water. However, TOC removal increased by increasing coagulant dosage. The size and fractal dimension of coagulated particle produced in the blending recycled washwater were larger, which imply faster settling velocity, than those produced in the raw water only.
