Column tests in the laboratory were preformed to investigate characteristics of settling process of dredged soil sampled from in-situ. Test results were analyzed by using the existing theories on discrete settling and hindered settling. From column tests of monitoring the interface with time, settling was found to be a linear process with time and the settling rate was increased with initial water content of slurry. The settling rate was also observed to decrease with increasing initial height of slurry. Most of settling process were composed of flocculation, hindered settling and self-weight consolidation. On the other hands, flocculation of soil during settling was observed and it was found that the size and density of flocculated particles could be analyzed by using the method proposed by Richardson and Zaki.

A series of column test with a silty marine soil mixed with Jumunjin Standard Sand were performed to investigate the characteristics of settling and consolidation of non-plastic dredged soils. Column tests were carried out by using the separable column to measure the grain size distribution of consolidated layer. Column tests were performed with changing the mixing ratio of Jumunjin Standard Sand to the silty marine soil, initial water content of slurry and initial height of slurry. Height of interface of slurry was monitored during tests and grain size distribution tests were carried out after finishing tests. Influencing factors on the particle segregation, eventually to the characteristics of settling and consolidation of non-plastic soil, were analyzed on the thesis of test results. As results of column tests, the mixing ratio of sand to the silty marine soil and the initial water content of slurry were known to affect the characteristics of settling and consolidation resulted in significant particle segregation of slurry. Initial height of slurry was found not to affect seriously to particle segregation.

새만금 미세점착성 퇴적물의 침강특성을 퇴적물 자체의 물리ㆍ화학적 기본특성과 연계 해석하기 위하여, 퇴적물의 입경분포, 광물질 구성 및 유기물 함량 조사로 구성되는 새만금 퇴적물에 대한 물리ㆍ화학적 특성 조사가 수행되었다. 새만금 퇴적물의 물리ㆍ화학적 특성에 대한 분석 결과, 새만금 퇴적물은 평균입경(52$\mu\textrm{m}$)이 비교적 크고 유기물 함량(2%)이 매우 작으며, 점착력이 비교적 자은 석영이 주된 광물질 구성성분으로 점착력에 의한 침강효과 보다는 중력에 의한 침강효과가 더 큰 퇴적물인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 이러한 효과로 인하여, 새만금 퇴적물은 응집효과가 침강속도를 증가시키는 응집침강 영역에서 비교적 작은 침강속도를 가지며, 응집효과가 침강속도를 감소시키는 간섭침강 영역에서는 비교적 큰 침강속도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구의 목적은 시화호 점착성 퇴적물의 침강 및 침식특성을 정량적으로 분석하는 것이다. 침강특성은 특수 제작된 1.8 m의 침강수주를 이용하여 multi-depth 부유사 농도 채취방법으로 수행하였고, 침식특성은 전북대 환형수조를 이용하여 각기 다른 밀도를 갖는 균일저면 조건하에서 수행하였다. 침강실험의 결과로서, 시화호 점착성 퇴적물은 부유사 농도값이 0.1$0.002의 침강속도 값을 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 침식실험의 결과로서 저면밀도를 $1.14{\sim}1.32g/cm^{3}$로 변화 시켰을때, 침식한계전단응력은 $0.19{\sim}0.55N/m^{2}$으로 증가하였으며, 침식률계수는 $18.4{\sim}3.9mg/cm^{2}{\cdot}hr$의 범위로 감소하였다.

In this paper, activated sludge settling was characterized based on field trip and zone settling tests. Plants used for this study include 5 conventional activated sludge processes and 3 A2O type treatment processes. The treatment capacities are in the range from 12,000 to $250,000m^3$/day. Total number of zone settling tests were 188 set and SVI values representing settling characteristics were from 100 to 300 mL/g. It was found out that zone settling velocity of these examined plant sludges can be approximated by mean values calculated by Keinath and Daigger/Roper models. Based on these three models, solid flux analysis were carried out in order to compare design criteria ($3.96{\sim}6.04kg/m^2-hr$) recommended by Korea Sewage Facility Design Guideline with two models used in USA. The results show that design criteria are only applicable for normal condition in settling characteristics (below SVI 100 mL/g). Solid flux analysis of surveyed plants indicates that most of the plants are operated underload conditions except several plants experiencing poor sludge settling problem. Most of the plants are operated under high sludge blanket depths (SBD).

The sediment of Shihwa Lake contains an abundant quantity of cohesive sediments. The transport processes of the cohesive sediments are complex and difficult to predict, quantitatively. The cohesive sediments are the primary reason for the pollution of the environment and water quality in the coastal region. In this study, a column test has been performed. In order to quantify the settling velocities of sediment from Shihwa Lake, an experiment was conducted using a specially designed 1.8m tall settling column. A series of settling tests and physico-chemical property tests on Shihwa Lake cohesive sediments has been conducted to investigate the correlation between settling properties and their physico-chemical properties, which are represented as grain size distribution, mineralogical composition, and percentage oj organic contents. Experimental results of physico-chemical property tests show that Shihwa Lake sediments are relatively large in average grain $size(74\mu m)$ contain very small organic $material(6\%)$, and are dominantly composed of Quarts, which has relatively low cohesion. Thus, Shihwa Lake sediments might be specified as those whose settling properties are more influenced by gravity than cohesion. It is concluded that the magnitude of settling velocities of muddy sediments can be quite different, regionally, and it implies that field or laboratory experiments for settling velocity measurement should be preceded over the numerical modeling of muddy sediment transport, in order to obtain the reliable prediction results for a given specific site.

점토질 입자를 다량으로 포함하는 준설토의 매립 시 발생하는 침강 및 압밀 거동에 대하여 조사하고자 일련의 실내실험을 수행하였다. 카올린 점토를 사용하여 초기함수비, 전해질의 종류 및 농도 등 다양한 조건에서 침강실험을 실시하였으며, 침강을 촉진하고 압밀에 의한 체적감소를 극대화하기 위하여 동전기프로세스를 채택하여 자연 상태의 침강 및 압밀 거동과 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과 전해질 용액에 존재하는 다양한 양이온의 영향으로 침강속도가 증가하였으며, 자연 상태의 침강거동에 비해 동전기적 침강의 경우 더 많은 침하량을 유발시켰으며 함수비의 감소를 확인하였다.

This study was performed to develop the method for producing industrial coal sources by cleaning Korean anthracite. Laboratory hindered-settling separation column was set and three coal samples were used for tests. Tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of the major operating variables, teeter water flow rate and relative column pressure (set point). Additional tests were performed to elevate the yield and properties of the products using air bubble injecting process. In results, nice products were obtained with high teeter water flow rate and air bubble injection. Also, model of continuous hindered-settling separation process was established to assist the evaluation of the equipment and several operating variables, such as dispersion, teeter water flow rate, feeding rate, etc.

The primary purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine whether there was a difference in the settling velocities of cohesive sediments in the Saemankeum artificial lake before and after the closure of the Saemankeum seadike. Through in situ sediment sampling and laboratory experiments, the settling velocities were estimated as a function of the suspension concentration and their physico-chemical properties, such as grain size distribution, the percentage of organic contents, mineralogical composition, etc. were also examined. In this study, their inter-relation with settling velocities were also analyzed qualitatively. The result of the settling tests for Saemankeum sediments showed that there was a big difference in the settling velocities before and after the closure of the Saemankeum seadike. Its settling velocities in a flocculated settling region became remarkably larger after the closure compared to those before the closure, while they were similar but relatively smaller in a hindered settling region. This was found to be mainly due to the difference in their grain size.

Evaluating and designing secondary clarifier require to define characteristics of influent MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids). In this study, bioflocculation and settling characteristics for MLSS from a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) plant located in near Seoul were measured. MLSS concentrations in bioreactor were about 2,500mg/L in summer and about 4,000mg/L in winter, respectively. Tests showed that there was not much bioflocculation occurred in secondary clarifier. Average ESS/DSS (Effluent Suspended Solids/Dispersed Suspended Solids) was 100%. From the settling tests, ZSV (Zone Settling Velocity) and settling constant (n) in Vesilind equation were estimated at different MLSS temperatures. SVI (Sludge Volume Index) and SSVI (Stirred Sludge Volume Index) were also measured at different temperatures. It was found that ZSV was positively correlated with temperature and n was inversely proportional to temperature. SVI and SSVI had very similar values at about $25^{\circ}C$ of MLSS, However, SVI had more than 2 times higher values than SSVI at below $20^{\circ}C$ of MLSS. Temperature effect must be considered to design and evaluate secondary clarifier.
