A biofiltration system using activated carbon/polyurethane composite as solid support inoculated with Bacillus sp. was developed for treating a gaseous stream containing high concentrations of H2S. The effects of operating condition such as the influent H2S concentration and the empty bed contact time (EBCT) on the removal efficiency of H2S were investigated. The biofilter showed the stable removal efficiencies of over 99 % under the EBCT range from 15 to 60 sec at the 300 ppmv of H2S inlet concentration. When the inlet concentration of H2S was increased, the removal efficiencies decreased, reaching 95 and 74%, at EBCTs of 10 and 7.5 sec, respectively. The maximum elimination capacity in the biofilter packed with activated carbon/polyurethane composite media was 157 g/m3/hr.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Ca(OH)2 and CO2 additions on the corrosion of metal coupons (ductile iron, galvanized steel, copper and stainless steel). Corrosion rate and released metal ion concentration of ductile iron and galvanized steel was decreased by adjusting alkalinity, calcium hardness and pH with Ca(OH)2 & CO2 additions named CCPP (Calcium Carbonate Precipitation Potential) index control process. But the effects of Ca(OH)2 & CO2 additions on copper and stainless steel were less than those on ductile iron and galvanized steel. When ductile iron coupon was exposed to water treated with Ca(OH)2 & CO2 additions, the main components of corrosion product formed on its surface were CaCO3 and Fe2O3 or Fe3O4, which often reduce the corrosion rate by prohibiting oxygen transport to the metal surface.

Effects of surface conditions (temperature and roughness) of test specimens, when measuring emissive power of far-infrared ray, have been investigated using FT-IR spectrometer. Element metal zinc (Zn) was selected in this study as representative specimen of materials consisting of simple element. The zinc specimens were heated to four temperatures, i.e., 333K, 353K, .373K, and also their surface was finished with SiC abrasive papers of 100, 220, 360, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mesh in size. The results shows that the emissive power (W/㎡) of the far-infrared ray increases with temperature for a given roughness and its relationship may be expressed by the following equations: Yη=1.0=0.142.T-0.937 for η=1.0, and Yη=10=0.016.T-1.286 for η=10. The emissive power is also known to increase with surface roughness for a given temperature. Their relationship can be represented by the following equations: YT=313K=0.234.ln(η)+3.53, at 313K, YT=353K=0.234.ln(η)+4.02 at 353K and YT=393K=0.243.ln(η)+4.62 at 393K.

An experimental study was conducted to indentify the direct denitrification of ammonium nitrogen in culture water by ozone. During the experimnet period, pH was 7.8-8.8. pH was grdually lower after ammonium nitrogen was reacted with ozone under Br^-. In addition, it can be known that the culturing water was improved greatly form the inverstigation of T-N by biofilm and ozonation. As the results of a variation of recirculation rate, denitrification of ammonium nitrogen was in increased in proportion to the recirculation rate. But Nitrification of microorganism was opposite to the recirculation rate. With the increasing injected ozone in ozonation tank uner 21 circulation /day(6.7 ℓ/min), dinitrification of ammonium nitrogen was increased lineraly in propotion to the increasing of injected ozone concentration.
