본 연구는 SWRO/PRO 조합공정에서 PRO 공정 유입수로써 적합한 유입수질 조건과 전처리 기술을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험에 사용된 유입수로는 P시의 하수처리장 방류수를 사용하였으며, 유도용매는 역삼투막 농축수를 활용하였고, 이때 사용한 PRO막은 Toray사의 CTA재질막을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 응집-침전, 모래여과, DMF, 활성탄여과, 정밀여과공정, 역삼투공정 등 총 6가지 전처리공정을 선정하여 평가하였고, PRO 공정 성능에 영향을 크게 주는 것으로 확인하였다. 향후 SWRO/PRO 조합공정에서 안정적인 에너지 절감 효과를 기대할 수 있는 최적 공정을 도출할 계획이다.

본 연구에서는 분리막을 이용하여 안정적인 혐기소화조 전처리 농축공정에 대한 적용성을 평가하는데 목적을 두었다. 실험결과 슬러지 감량율의 경우 혐기조건에서 약 47.16%, 간헐폭기 조건에서 약 41.17%으로 나타났으며, 반류수의 농도의 경우 간헐폭기 조건이 평균적으로 혐기조건보다 낮은 반류수 농도를 나타냈다. Flux 감소에 대한 영향인자로 TTF, MLSS, CODcr, 및 EPS의 상관관계 분석결과 Flux 감소에 TTF가 가장 높은 연관성을 보였으며, 이외에 MLSS, CODcr 및 EPS도 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 도출되었다. 이러한 결과 혐기소화조의 전처리 공정으로 관형막을 이용한 경우 막오염 및 반류수 부하를 고려한 농축조 간헐폭기 조건이 안정적 전처리공정으로 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the applicability of a stable anaerobic digester using a separator membrane to the preprocessing thickening process. The results of the experiments showed about a 47.16% weight loss rate for the sludge under anaerobic condition, and about 41.17% under intermittent aeration condition. The concentrations of rejection water were SCODCr 25 mg/L, T-N 16.6 mg/L, and T-P 1.4 mg/L on the average under the intermittent aeration condition, which were lower than the concentrations of rejection water under an anaerobic condition. As for the factors affecting the reduction of the flux, correlation analyses of TTF, MLSS, SCODCr, and EPSProtein, EPSPolysacchride resulted in -0.97, -0.95, -0.84 and -0.86, -0.95, respectively, which showed that TTF had the highest correlation to the reduction of the flux. In addition, it was concluded that MLSS, SCODCr and EPSProtein, EPSPolysacchride also have close correlations. The results are considered to show that, in the case of the process using a tubular membrane in the preprocessing process of an anaerobic digester, an intermittent aeration condition of the thickener considering the contamination of the membrane and load of rejection water is appropriate for the stable preprocessing process.

To elucidate the effects of a pretreatment process on the uniformity of Ag electroless plating on Cu flakes, pretreatment time was mainly considered with a mixed solution of 0.15 M ammonium hydroxide and 0.0375 M ammonium sulphate. Optical inspection of Ag-coated Cu flakes determined that the optimal pretreatment time is 120 s. Repetition of the sequence in which Ag plating was done immediately after the pretreatment of 120 s clearly enhanced the plating uniformity. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that holes were formed irregularly on some Cu flakes during the period from the asdropping of an Ag precursor solution to 5 min. The hole formation was judged to be due to continuous removal of Cu on the local surfaces by the repetitive formation and elimination of Cu2O or Cu(OH)2 layers. However, the increase of the amount of Ag coating suppressed the hole creation and increasingly enhanced the antioxidant property.

하수방류수 재이용을 위한 RO 전처리로 부유물질 및 콜로이드 물질의 제거를 위해 가압식 MF를 사용하였다. 남양주 J 하수처리장의 생물학적 처리와 모래여과를 거쳐 방류되는 방류수를 원수로 사용하였으며 100 톤/일 규모의 pilot plant를 1년 이상 운전하여 성능을 검토하였다. 가압식 MF에 의해 원수 수질 및 온도의 변화에 상관없이 flux 40 LMH 운전이 가능하였으며 전처리로 응집제를 넣어 용존 유기물을 응집할 경우 60 LMH 운전이 가능하였다. RO 공정에서 장기간 정지 이후 운전을 재개하였을 때 1단 pressure drop이 급격히 증가하는 현상이 나타났고 이러한 결과는 배관 내 형성된 유기물과 이온물질의 복합오염물질이 1단 RO막에 침적된 결과로 사료된다.

Fundamental experiences have been studied for development of pre-treatment process of Sn by-prod-ucts such as solders. Dry and wet separation/recovery processes were considered by the differences of physicalproperties. The by-products, which are analyzed by solder metal and oxides. The metal and oxide were simplyseparated by dry ball-milling process for 12 hours, after that recovery metal powder might be reusable as lead orlead-free solders. In terms of wet separation process, samples were dissolved in HNO3+H2O2 and the precipita-tion were analyzed by SnO2. Overall efficiency of recovery might be increasing via developing simple pre-treat-ment process.

본 연구에서는 초임계 CO2 추출법을 이용하여 공정변수가 대두유의 수율에 미치는 영향과 초고압 처리가 초임계 추출에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. RSM 실험법을 통한 최적화 실험에서 468.18 bar, 80.23oC, 46.82 g/min의 조건에서 최대값 25.88%를 나타내었다. 초임계 추출법의 최적추출조건에서 초고압 전처리 후 추출 수율은 17.15-23.66%로 전처리 전보다 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 462.13MPa, 1분의 추출조건에서 정상점은 최대값으로 24.91%가 예측되었다. 초고압 전처리 후 초임계 추출에서 수율이 증가하지 않은 이유는 초고압 전처리시 입자의 뭉침현상이 일어나 평균입자크기가 증가하여 나타난 현상으로 추론하였다. 결과적으로 초고압 전처리는 초임계 추출 수율 증가에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 초임계 CO2 추출법을 이용하여 대두유를 추출할 경우 추출 압력, 유량이 높을수록 추출온도가 낮을수록 더 많은 양의 대두유를 추출할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to assess the levels of microbiological hazards of preprocessed Namuls, which were served at the school foodservice. 19 preprocessed ground or root vegetables were collected from 21 schools in May to June of 2011. Heavy contamination of aerobic plate counts (from 3.39 to 8.42 logCFU/g) and total coliform groups (from 3.16 to 7.84 logCFU/g), enterobacteriaceaes (from 2.53 to 7.55 logCFU/g) were detected in preprocessed Namuls. In addition, the detection rates of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus (emetic form) were 4.3%, 11.7% and 2.1%, respectively. In addition, sanitary indicative bacterium at preprocessing steps of root vegetables (lotus root, burdock root, bellflower root) and blanched Namuls (bracken, sweet potato vine, chinamul) were analyzed. Aerobic plate counts, coliform groups, and enterobacteriaceaes were not effectively removed during preprocessing including washing and soaking steps. In the case of blanched Namuls (bracken, sweet potato vine, chinamul), contamination levels increased more after drying process and no significant reduction effect on the levels of microbial contamination was observed during preprocessing steps. Thus, effect of preprocessing steps on the microbiological hazards in Namuls must be reevaluated to improve the microbiological quality of preprocessed Namuls at the school foodservice and retail markets.

With an increased production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) in electronic equipment, the consumption of solder alloys is growing globally. Recently, increasing importance of recycling solder scrap has been recognized. Generally, solder scrap contains many impurities such as plastics and other metals. Hazardous components must be eliminated for recycling solder scrap. The present work studied pretreatment for reuse of solder scrap alloys. An experiment was conducted to enhance the cleanliness of solder scrap melt and eliminate impurities, especially lead. Physical separation with sieving and magnetic force was made along with pyrometallurgical methods. A small decrease in lead concentration was found by high temperature treatment of solder scrap melt. The impurities were removed by filtration of the solder scrap melt, which resulted in improvement of the melt cleanliness. A very low concentration of lead was achieved by a zone melting treatment with repeated passage. This study reports on a pretreatment process for the reuse of solder scrap that is lead free.
