This study used the extensive monitoring datasets of the Korea Ministry of Environment to examine trends in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Han River raw water. To estimate the organic contents of water, we adopted allied parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) as substitutes for DOC. Spatial and temporal analyses were performed on monthly BOD and COD data from 36 monitoring stations (14 for Main Han River, 7 for North Han River and 15 for South Han River) measured from 1989 to 2007. The results of trend analysis indicated that, on the whole, water quality according to BOD showed a downward trend at more than 67% of monitoring stations (9 for Main Han River, 6 for North Han River and 9 for South Han River). However, the water quality of COD showed an upward trend at more than 78% of monitoring stations (8 for Main Han River, 7 for North Han River and 13 for South Han River). The upward trend of COD contrary to the BOD trend indicates that there has been an increase in recalcitrant organic matter in Han River water that is not detectable by means of BOD.

수돗물내의 불쾌한 이취미는 수도사업자에게 여러 가지 문제를 일으킨다. 비록 이취미는 건강상에 유해하지는 않지만 소비자들에게 수돗물의 안정성을 의심하게 되는 주된 요인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 원수와 급속 모래여과 처리수에 함유된 geosmin에 대한 오존과 오존/과산화수소 공정에서 접촉시간별 제거경향을 조사한 결과, 오존 단독공정에 비하여 오존과 과산화수소 혼합공정이 오존 단독공정 보다 접촉시간별로 geosmin 제거율이 월등히 증가하였다. 오존과 과산화수소 투입농도에 따른 여과수 중의 geosmin과 2-MIB의 제거특성 평가에서 2-MIB 보다 geosmin이 오존 및 오존/과산화수소 공정에서 제거가 용이한 것으로 나타났다. 원수 및 여과수에 함유된 geosmin과 여과수에 함유된 2-MIB에 대해 오존 주입농도 $0.5\sim2.0$ mg/L 범위에서 오존과 과산화수소 주입비율 $(H_2O_2/O_3)$에 따른 각각의 반응 속도상수 k의 변화를 조사한 결과, 오존 및 오존과 과산화수소의 주입비율이 증가할수록 반응 속도상수 k가 급격히 증가하였으며 오존과 과산화수소의 주입비율이 어느 한계 이상에 도달하면 반응 속도상수 k는 더 이상 증가하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 오존 주입농도 $0.5\sim2.0$ mg/L 범위에서 오존 대비 과산화수소의 적정 주입비율($(H_2O_2/O_3)$ $1\sim2$ 사이인 것으로 나타났다. 급속 모래여과 처리수에서 보다는 오존과 OH 라디칼 소비물질이 많이 존재하는 원수에서의 반응속도 상수가 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 호존 주입농도별로 과산화수소 주입농도에 대한 급속 모래여과 처리수중의 geosmin이 제거되는 반감기를 조사한 결과, 오존과 과산화수소 주입농도가 증가할수록 geosmin의 반감기는 급격히 줄어들었으며, 오존만 2 mg/L 주입하여 geosmin을 산화시킨 경우보다 오존 2 mg/L와 과산화수소 10 mg/L를 함께 주입한 경우 반감기가 38.9분에서 4.6분으로 8.5배 정도 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.

20개의 돼지 등심육을 각각 1주일씩 건염과 습염을 한 다음 2주일간 숙성하여 생햄을 제조한 후 진공포장하여 10과 $25^{\circ}C$에서 90일간 저장하면서 물리화학적 및 관능학적 품질을 조사하였다. 생햄의 10과 $25^{\circ}C$에서 저장 중 식염 함량은 모두 약 5.1% 수준을 유지하였다. 그리고 수분, 조단백질, 조지방 및 회분 등 일반성분의 함량에 있어서 저장 온도와 기간에 따른 시료 간 차이는 나타나지 않았다. TBA와 VBN값은 저장기간 중 계속 증가함으로써 지방과 단백질의 분해가 진공포장한 상태에서도 지속적으로 이루어졌다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 조사된 pH, 수분활성도, 물성, TBA와 VBN값, 그리고 관능학적 품질 변화는 $10^{\circ}C$에서보다 $25^{\circ}C$에 저장된 시료에서 더 크게 일어나는 경향을 보였다. 저장 기간이 연장될수록 경도, 부서짐성, 탄성, 응집성, 검성 및 점착성 등과 같은 조직감에서의 유의적인 품질 저하가 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 색은 10과 $25^{\circ}C$ 시료 간, 그리고 저장구간별 큰 차이가 없었다. 관능검사 결과에 따른 생햄의 저장수명은 10과 $25^{\circ}C$에서 각각 75와 45일로 추정되었다.

본 연구에서는 호소 및 저수지의 수질을 예측하는데 널리 사용되는 WASP6 모델을 이용하여 저수지 수질을 예측함으로써 수질관리자의 수질관리 정책 및 의사결정에 효과적으로 반영하고자 하였다. 연구결과 오염부하량중 관광객에 의한 오염 배출부하량이 전체의 T-N, T-P 중 91.66%, 92.75%로 축산과 토지이용에 의한 배출부하량 보다 월등히 높은 것을 알 수 있으며, 이는 대상유역의 주 오염원이 관광객과 인구에 의한 것을 알 수 있다. 년도별 오염 배출부하량 예측결과 BOD는 2012년 현재 보다 약 1.6배, T-N은 2012년 1.5배 정도 T-P는 1.5배 정도 증가 할 것으로 예측되어, 오염부하량 저감을 위한 대책 마련이 시급한 것으로 판단된다. 수옥정 저수지의 BOD의 경우 현재 비교적 양호한 수질을 나타내고 있으나, 년도가 지날수록 수질오염이 증가할 것으로 판단되므로 시급한 오염저감시설 확충 및 관리가 필요하다. 특히 T-N과 T-P는 호소 부영양화 조절을 위한 제한 영양소임을 고려할 때 오염원 통제에 대한 집중적인 관리가 필요할 것이다.

A 1,000 ㎥/d DAF(dissolved air flotation) pilot plant was installed to evaluate the performance of the floating process using the Nakdong River. Efficiency of various DAF operations under different conditions, such as hydraulic loading rate, coagulant concentration was evaluated in the current research. The operation conditions were evaluated, based on the removal or turbidity, TOC(total organic carbon), THMFP(trihalomethane formation potential), Mn(manganese), and Al(aluminum). Also, particle size analysis of treated water by DAF was performed to examine the characteristics of particles existing in the treated water. The turbidity removal was higher than 90%, and it could be operated at 0.5 NTU or less, which is suitable for the drinking water quality standard. Turbidity, TOC, and THMFP resulted in stable water quality when replacing the coagulant from alum to PAC(poly aluminum chloride). A 100% removal of Chl-a was recorded during the summer period of the DAF operations. Mn removal was not as effective as where the removal did not satisfy the water quality standards for the majority of the operation period. Hydraulic loading of 10 m/h, and coagulant concentrations of 40 mg/L was determined to be the optimal operating conditions for turbidity and TOC removal. When the coagulant concentration increases, the Al concentration of the DAF treated water also increases, so coagulant injection control is required according to the raw water quality. Particle size distribution results indicated that particles larger than 25 ㎛ showed higher removal rates than smaller particles. The total particel count in the treated water was 2,214.7 counts/ml under the operation conditions of 10 m/h of hydraulic loading rate and coagulant concentrations of 60 mg/L.

The use household water purifier is continuously increasing due to the distrust of the piped, rap water, which may be caused by the deterioration of water quality and water supply facilities in Korea. The water purifier distributing in the domestic market is the membrane type that composes of membrane as a basic filter, sediment filter as a prefilter and activated carbon filter instead of one purifying water system. The membrane type using as a water cleaning system is mainly the method of micro filtration(NIF) as well as ultra filtration(UF) and reverse osmosis(RO). The types of MF and UF are using to remove suspended solids and virus, and RO is using to remove ionic compound in chemical organic compounds. At the beginning the household water purifier was imported as end-product or assembled by only importing module from small businesses in Korea. Therefore, people was hard to confide in the product quality because the sales policy and management of water purifier by small business were not effectively organized. However, the defects of water purifier having up to now ate improving by the efforts of special branches of water purifier and large enterprises, and new great products are developing and producing. To develop the best quality product of water purifier in Korea, it should be considered seasonal water characteristrics rather than any other condition. For example, the water purifier can be affected by the water temperature change, increase of suspended solids in the rainy season and inflow of raw water having concentration in a dry season. The subject we have to investigate in the future is to develop the water purifying system adaptable in Korea which can treat the water quality using close analyses of local and seasonal water characteristics.

Up to now, only superficial studies on the combustion velocity of smokeless fuels have been reported, while it should be a basical factor on the utilization of low quality coals and some other smokeless solid fuels. It was, therefore, difficult to choose raw material coals in manufacturing gaseous fuels. With the intent to solve above problem, we have determined combustion velocity of domestic anthracites, graphites, coalites of lignite and cokes from Japanese bituminous coal. The results show that the cokes from Japanese bituminous coal which has been used as raw material in the manufacturing gaseous fuels such as water gas, or producer gas in Korea can be replaced by some sources of domestic anthracite or coalite of lignite.

Ultrafiltration membranes have several advantages over conventional drinking-water treatment. However, this technology presents major limitations, such as irreversible fouling and low removal of natural organic matter. Fouling depends heavily on the raw-water quality as well as on the operating conditions of the process, including flux, permeate recovery, pre-treatment, chemical cleaning, and backwashing. Starting with the premise that the optimisation of operating variables can improve membrane performance, different experiments were conducted in a pilot plant located in Granada (Spain). Several combinations of permeate and backwashing flow rates, backwashing frequencies, and aeration flow rates were tested for low-quality water coming from Genil River with the following results: the effluent quality did not depend on the combination of operating conditions chosen; and the membrane was effective for the removal of microorganisms, turbidity and suspended solids but the yields for the removal of dissolved organic carbon were extremely low. In addition, the threshold transmembrane pressure (-0.7 bar) was reached within a few hours and it was difficult to recover due to the low efficiency of the chemical cleanings. Moreover, greater transmembrane pressure due to fouling also increased the energy consumption, and it was not possible to lower it without compromising the permeate recovery. Finally, the intensification of aeration contributed positively to lengthening the operation times but again raised energy consumption. In light of these findings, the feasibility of ultrafiltration as a single treatment is questioned for low-quality influents.

Supplying clean and safe water to people is facing both quantitative and qualitative challenges. Due to climate change, access to freshwater becomes increasingly difficult, while pollution from various sources decreases the public trust in water quality. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) which stores and uses surface water in aquifer is receiving attention as a new technology to secure freshwater. Recently, there is a global expansion in the attempt to combine general purification plants and hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) which manages all the process from raw material to consumer for food safety. This research is about an attempt to apply HACCP to the drinking water supply process using MAR to secure both quantity and quality of drinking water. The study site is a MAR plant being constructed in the downstream area of the Nakdong River Basin, South Korea. The incorporation of HACCP with MAR-based water supply system is expected to enhance the safety and reliability of drinking water.

Shallow water withdrawal systems have been replaced with a selected withdrawal system to keep stable raw water quality in spite of occurrence of algae and muddy inflow. Before reconstruction of the water intake tower in Yongdam reservoir supplying water to Gosan water treatment facility, we have predicted flow patterns of inflowing water into the water intake tower for various withdrawal conditions. It has been predicted that the water in the withdrawal layer is significantly inflowed from the front with fast velocity into the water intake tower irrespective of withdrawal depth, while the water away from the withdrawal layer is withdrawed a little from the side with slow velocity.
