In the industrial wastewater that occupies a large proportion of river pollution, the wastewater generated in textile, leather, and plating industries is hardly decomposable. Though dyeing wastewater has generally been treated using chemical and biological methods, its characteristics cause treatment efficiencies such as chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) to be reduced only in the activated sludge method. Currently, advanced oxidation technology for the treatment of dyeing wastewater is being developed worldwide. Electro-coagulation is highly adapted to industrial wastewater treatment because it has a high removal efficiency and a short processing time regardless of the biodegradable nature of the contaminant. In this study, the effects of the current density and the electrolyte condition on the COD removal efficiency in dyeing wastewater treatment by using electro-coagulation were tested with an aluminum anode and a stainless steel cathode. The results are as follows: ① When the current density was adjusted to 20 A/m2, 40 A/m2, and 60 A/m2 under the condition without electrolyte, the COD removal efficiency at 60 min was 62.3%, 72.3%, and 81.0%, respectively. ② The removal efficiency with NaCl addition was 7.9% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities. ③ The removal efficiency with Na2SO4 addition was 4.7% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities.

PFC (perfluorocompound) gases have an extremely high global warming potential (GWP). A study of the destruction of NF3, CF4 and SF6 gases emitted from the semiconductor industry was attempted by plasma power at 4.4 kW, 5.5 kW, 6.0 kW, 6.6 kW, 7.6 kW, 8.1 kW and 9.1 kW. As electric power increased, DRE (destruction and removal efficiency) of NF3, CF4 and SF6 was also increased. It was confirmed through experiment that the DRE of NF3 is 99% at 7.6 kW, 97% for CF4 at 9.14 kW and 100% for SF6 at 7.6 kW of plasma power. By-products formed by PFC destruction were mainly F2, SO2F2, NOx and CO gases. In addition, particulate matter was formed, and particle were proven to be AlF3.

As industry continues to develop, the amount of various recalcitrant substances that cannot be removed by conventional wastewater treatment has increased in modern society. The SCFs (Soluble Cutting Fluids) used in metalworking processes contain many chemical substances, such as mineral oils, anticorrosive agents, extreme-pressure additives and stabilizers, as well as high concentrations of organics. Recently, electrolysis has been expected to become an alternative to conventional processes and to be useful in various wastewater treatments. Electrolysis is a highly adaptable industrial wastewater treatment method, having a high efficiency, short processing time, and simple equipment composition, regardless of the biodegradable nature of the contaminants. The effects of operating time, current density, and electrolyte on COD removal of waste SCFs have been studied using the stainless steel (SUS316) electrode in a batch type reactor. The results were as follows. ① Without electrolytes, when the current density was adjusted to 40 A/m2, 60 A/m2, and 80 A/m2, the removal efficiencies of the COD were 25.0%, 37.7%, and 49.1% after 60 min, respectively. ② In the comparison between NaCl (5 ~ 10 mM) addition and non-addition, the removal efficiency with NaCl was higher than for without after 60 min for all current densities. ③ In the comparison between Na2SO4 (5 ~ 10 mM) addition and nonaddition, the removal efficiency with Na2SO4 showed no significant difference to that with NaCl at all current densities.

As industry continues to develop, the contents of various recalcitrant substances that are not removed by conventional wastewater treatment have increased in modern society. The metal working fluids (MWFs) used in the metal working process contain chemical substances, such as mineral oils, anticorrosive agents, extreme-pressure additives, and stabilizers, as well as high concentrations of organics and ammonia-nitrogen. Accordingly, MWFs are required to develop advanced treatments to conserve hydro-ecological resources. This study investigated the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen from MWFs according to operating time, applied voltage, and NaCl concentration using a Ti/IrO2 electrode in a batch-type reactor. The experimental results showed that ammonia-nitrogen removal efficiencies without NaCl were 89% and 92% when voltage was adjusted to 15 and 20 V for 60 min and removal efficiency was 90% at 25 V for 40 min. Removal efficiencies of 10 mM NaCl were 4% and 2% greater than those of not adding NaCl at 15 V for 50 min and 20 V for 30 min.

1900년대 초부터 금속 가공 장비의 수명 연장 및 가공물의 품질 향상을 위해 금속 가공 공정에 절삭유가 이용되어 왔다. 금속 가공 특성에 따라 절삭효율 향상을 위해 각종 첨가제를 포함시켜 여러 종류의 절삭유가 제조되고 있으며, 일반적으로 수용성과 비수용성으로 분류된다. 비수용성 절삭유의 경우, 폐유처리과정에서 유독성 물질 발생, 발연･발화 등의 문제로 수용성 절삭유의 사용이 점차 증가해 왔으며, 국내에서 이용되는 절삭유의 60% 이상이 수용성 절삭유이다. 사용된 수용성 절삭유는 비수용성 절삭유와 같이 소각처리 하기에는 비용이 크며, 수계로 유출시 COD 약 30,000~100,000ppm의 고농도 유기성분에 의해 인근 수계를 오염시킬 수 있으므로 각별한 처리가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Ti-IrO2전극을 이용하여 NaCl 첨가, 인가전압 변화를 통해 수용성 절삭유 내 오염물질의 전기화학적 처리에 미치는 영향을 검토하고, 수용성 절삭유의 전기화학적 처리에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 시료는 U사의 W1-1종 수용성 절삭유를 이용하였으며 증류수와 혼합하여 5% 농도의 인공 시료를 제조하였다. 시료의 특성은 Table 1, 실험 조건은 Table 2에 나타내었다.

An electrochemical treatment has great efficiency for the removal of non-biodegradable material and it has high applicability in wastewater treatment due to its short operating time. The purpose of this study using an electrochemical process is to provide fundamental data on the cutting fluid treatment, which has difficulties in the treatment of nonbiodegradable material. The results are as follows. Experimental data in relation to applied voltage and concentration of NaCl are outlined. With no addition of NaCl, and an applied voltage of 5 V, 10 V, or 15 V for 60 mins, the removal rates of CODMn were 29.87%, 55.32%, and 67.27% for each voltage. The removal rates of CODCr were 39.51%, 70.73%, and 85.37%, respectively. The removal rates of CODMn and CODCr increased with increasing applied voltage. These experimental results showed that the removal rate of COD with varying concentrations of NaCl (0 mM, 5 mM, 10 mM) increased increasing NaCl concentration.

Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) are usually used as novel etching and cleaning gases in semiconductor industry and electrical equipments. Recently, the many studies about PFCs decomposition have been performed due to high global warming potential (GWP). This study is to identify the effects of the hydrogen on the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of NF3 and SF6 when using the electron-beam. The experiment was conducted at a flow rate of 10 LPM with NF3 and SF6 of 1,000 ppm. Absorbed dose (electric current) was 1,028 kGy (5 mA). The DREs of NF3 and SF6 gases increased about 54% and 68% respectively with hydrogen injection. By-products formed by NF3 and SF6 destruction were mainly HF and F2 gases. In addition, the particles were generated during the NF3 and SF6 destruction due to corrosion of reactor and SF6 decomposion, respectively.

The decomposition of NF3 using only an electron beam, and an electron beam in the presence of hydrogen are assessedin terms of the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE, %). Experiments were conducted at a flow rate of 500LPM.The inlet concentration of NF3 in nitrogen gas was about 1,000ppm, and the concentration of hydrogen ranged from 1,500to 8,000ppm, respectively. Absorbed dose (kGy) and electric current ranged from 33.87 (5mA) to 203.21kGy (30mA).The results in this study indicate that the DRE increased about 35% with hydrogen addition at electric current 30mA.Additionally hydrogen gas played a significant role in the constituents of byproducts.

SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas has an extremely high global warming potential (GWP) because of strong absorption of infrared radiation and long atmospheric lifetime which cause the global warming effect. The objective of this study is to identify the effects of destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of SF6 by the addition of oxygen, water vapor and hydrogen. The applied dose of ionization energy was 1,028 kGy(5 mA). The initial concentrations of SF6, O2, H2O and H2 gases were 1,000 ppm, 1,000 ppm, 3,000 ppm, 3,000 ppm, respectively. The DRE was increased about 2 times with O2 gas injection. The SF6 was completely removed with H2O and H2 gas injection. By-products formed by SF6 destruction were mainly HF and F2 gases. In addition, SF2, NF3, N2O, SO2, SO2F2, and NOx gases were produced.

Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) has been used as a novel etching and cleaning gas in semiconductor industry. Recently, the many studies about NF3 decomposition have been performed due to high global warming potential (GWP : 17,000). In this study, the role of conditioning agents such as H2, O2, and H2O (water vapor) in the destruction of NF3 gas using electron-beam technology is assessed in terms of the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE, %). The inlet concentration of NF3 was 1,000 ppm and the concentration of conditioning agents ranged from 250 to 1,500 ppm respectively and electron beam current was 5 mA. From the result, the by-products of NF3 decomposition were NO, N2O, and HF.

The chlorination pattern of naphthalene vapor when passed through a 1 cm particle bed of 0.5% (mass) copper (II) chloride (CuCl2) mixed with silicon dioxide (SiO2) was studied. Gas streams consisting of 92% (molar) N2, 8% O2 and 0.1% naphthalene vapor were introduced to an isothermal flow reactor containing the CuCl2/SiO2 particle bed. Chlorination of naphthalene was studied from 100 to 400 °C at a gas velocity of 2.7 cm/s. Mono through hexachlorinated naphthalene congeners were observed at 250 °C whereas a broader distribution of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) including hepta and octachlorinated naphthalenes was observed at 300 °C. PCN production was peak at 250 °C with 3.07% (molar) yield, and monochloronaphthalene (MCN) congeners were the major products at two different temperatures. In order to assess the effect of a residence time on naphthalene chlorination, an experiment was also conducted at 300 °C with a gas velocity of 0.32 cm/s. The degree of naphthalene chlorination increased as a gas velocity decreased.

The pressure drop through pulse air jet-type bag filter is one of the most important factors on the operating cost of bagfilter houses. In this study, the pilot-scale pulse air jet-type bag filter with about 6 ㎡ filtration area was designed and tested for investigating the effects of the four operating conditions on the total pressure drop, using the coke dust collected from a steel mill factory. When the face velocity is higher than 2 m/min, it is not applicable to on-spot due to the increase of power expenses resulting from a high-pressure drop, and thus, 1.5 m/min is considered to be reasonable. The regression analysis results show that the degree of effects of independent parameters is a order of face velocity > concentration > time > pressure. The results of SPSS answer tree analysis also reveal that the operation time affects the pressure drop greatly in case of 1 m/min of face velocity, while the inlet concentration affects the pressure drop in case of face velocity more than 1.5 m/min.
