Bioreactors are devices used by sewage treatment plants to process sewage and which produce active sludge, and sediments separated by solid-liquid are treated in anaerobic digestion tanks. In anaerobic digestion tanks, the volume of active sludge deposits is reduced and biogas is produced. After dehydrating the digestive sludge generated after anaerobic digestion, anaerobic digested wastewater, which features a high concentration of organic matters, is generated. In this study, the decomposition of organic carbon and nitrogen was studied by advanced oxidation process. Ozone-microbubble flotation process was used for oxidation pretreatment. During ozonation, the TOC decreased by 11.6%. After ozone treatment, the TOC decreased and the removal rate reached 80.4% as a result of the Ultra Violet-Advanced Oxidation Process (UV-AOP). The results with regard to organic substances before and after treatment differed depending on the organic carbon index, such as CODMn, CODCr, and TOC. Those indexes did not change significantly in ozone treatment, but decreased significantly after the UV-AOP process as the linkage treatment, and were removed by up to 39.1%, 15.2%, and 80.4%, respectively. It was confirmed that biodegradability was improved according to the ratio of CODMn to TOC. As for the nitrogen component, the ammonia nitrogen component showed a level of 3.2×102 mg/L or more, and the content was maintained at 80% even after treatment. Since most of the contaminants are removed from the treated water and its transparency is high, this water can be utilized as a resource that contains high concentrations of nitrogen.

Microbubbles oxygen transfer to water was simulated based on experimental results obtained from the bubbles generation operated under varying liquid supply velocity to the multi-step orifices of the generator. It had been known that liquid supply velocity and bubble size are inversely related. In the oxygen transfer, a non-steady state was assumed and the pseudo stagnation caused the slow movement of bubbles from the bottom to the water surface. Two parameters were considered for the simulation: They represent a factor to correct the pseudo stagnation state and a scale which represented the amount of bubbles in supply versus time. The sum of absolute error determined by fitting regression to the experimental results was comparable to that of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) model, which is based on concentration differential as the driving force. Hence, considering the bubbles formation factors, the simulation process has the potential to be easily used for applications by introducing two parameters in the assumptions. Compared with the ASCE model, the simulation method reproduced the experimental results well by detailed conditions.

Water and wastewater treatment has always been a challenging task due to the continuous increase in amount and the change in characteristics of the poorly biodegradable and highly colored organic matters, as well as harmful micro-organisms. Advanced techniques are therefore required to successfully remove these pollutants from water before reuse or discharge to receiving water bodies. Application of ozone, which is a powerful oxidant and disinfectant, alone or as part of advanced oxidation process depends on the complex kinetic reactions and the mass transfer of ozone involved. Micro- and nano bubbling considerably improves gas dissolution compared to conventional bubbles and hence mass transfer. It can also intensify generation of hydroxyl radical due to collapse of the bubbles, which in turn facilitates oxidation reaction under both alkaline as well as acidic conditions. This review gives the overview of application of micro- and nano bubble ozonation for purification of water and wastewater. The drawbacks of previously considered techniques and the application of the hydrodynamic ozonation to synthetic aqueous solutions and various industrial wastewaters are systematically reviewed.

PURPOSES : The computational fluid dynamics of flow and fine particles in a road were set to determine the insert flow and occurrence characteristics.METHODS: The road extension was 100 m with two lanes. A one-ton truck traveled a 50-m distance. After a noise barrier was installed on one side of the road, the flow and a collision analysis were tested.RESULTS: The flow that occurred was 5 m/s beside the vehicle, and fine particulate was 5.0×102 μg/m3 after 20 m from the exhaust vent.CONCLUSIONS: After a collision analysis of the fine particulate on the noise barrier to find the most suitable position of the filter panel in height, the bottom 1 m was the most optimum position because 88.1% of the distribution was concentrated there.

본 연구는 ‘청도반시’ 감을 열대지역으로 수출하는 상황을 모의하여 실시하였다. 수송 중이나 수송 후 유통과정에서 홍시를 만들기 위한 적절한 수송 온도(0℃, 5℃, 10℃)와 에틸렌 발생제 투입시기(수송 전, 수송 후)를 구명하고자 하였다. 15일간 모의 수송 후와 이후 30℃에서 5일간 모의 유통 후에 과실의 숙성과율과 품질을 조사하였다. 에틸렌 발생제를 처리하여 15일간 모의 수송한 후의 숙성과율은 10℃에서는 모두 홍시가 되었으나 0℃와 5℃에서는 홍시가 되지 않았고, 수송 전에 에틸렌 발생제를 처리하지 않은 과실은 모든 온도에서 홍시가 되지 않았다. 이후 30℃에서 5일간 모의 유통한 과실은 수송 전 에틸렌 발생제를 투입한 처리는 5℃와 10℃에서 모두 홍시가 되었으나 0℃에서는 38.5%만 홍시가 되었다. 수송 후 에틸렌 발생제를 투입한 처리는 모두 홍시가 된 처리구가 없었으며, 0℃와 5℃에서는 각각 63.5%와 59.6%로 비슷했으나 10℃에서는 19.2%로 오히려 낮았다. 결론적으로 수송 직후 바로 출하하기 위해서는 수송 전에 에틸렌 발생제를 투입하고 10℃에서 수송하는 것이, 그리고 5일간의 현지 유통 중에 숙성을 유도하기 위해서는 수송 전에 에틸렌 발생제를 투입하여 5℃에서 수송하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다. 수송 후 에틸렌 발생제를 투입해서 유통 중 숙성을 유도하여 홍시를 제조하는 방식은 수송 온도에 따른 차이는 있으나 10℃ 이하에서 15일간 수송한 감에서는 홍시가 잘 되지 않으므로 앞으로 그 원인과 적절한 수송온도에 대한 연구가 더 필요하다.

PURPOSES : The noise, which is typically generated by fast moving vehicles, can be intercepted by installing a noise barrier with a soundproof panel. However, reflections from the panels cause secondary noise, and hence lower the effectiveness of the panels. In this study, the reduction of reflection noise by considering the shape, especially zigzag one, of the soundproof panel have been evaluated. METHODS : The simulation model used in this study was Nord2000, which simulates real-road situations effectively. Based on the simulation results, the joining angle of 133。with the pattern width (a) equal to 2 m and the projection height (b) equal to 0.5 m was adapted in the zigzag shape as the best profit designing factors. RESULTS: The measuring results at middle height, 15 m showed reduction at all points except the point with average -1.6 dB. At a greater height of 30 m, 2 points showed reduction. A real-sized facility was constructed to investigate the reflected sound from a zigzag shaped panel up to the height of 5 m. CONCLUSIONS: The reduction effects were detected in all the receive points in the range of 2-6 m distances and 1-5 m heights comparing the plane panel. Compared to plane panel, the noises are reduced at an average of 2.4 dBA.

The porous Mg3Sb2 based compounds with 60~70% of relative density were prepared by powder compaction at room temperature and reactive liquid phase sintering at 1023 K for 4hrs. The stoichiometric Mg3Sb2 compounds were synthesized from elemental Sb and Mg powder in the mixing range of 61~63 at% Mg. The increased scattering effect due to the micro-pores reduced the mobility of the charge carrier and the phonon, which caused the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity to decrease, respectively. But the scattering effect was greater for the electrical conductivity than for the thermal conductivity. Excess Mg alloyed in the Mg3Sb2 compounds decreased the electrical conductivity, but had no effect on the thermal conductivity. On the other hand, the large increase of the Seebeck coefficient was the result of a decrease in the charge carrier density due to the excess Mg. Dimensionless figure of merit of the porous Mg3Sb2 compound reached a maximum value of 0.28 at 61 at% Mg. The obtained value was similar to that of Mg3Sb2 compounds having little pores.

PURPOSES : This study is to compare sound transmission loss(STL) value depending on the four kinds of materials, PC(Polycarbonate), PMMA(Polymethyl mathacrylate), PE(Polyethlyene), PP(Polypropylene), and two types of structure, single layer and double with vacuum layer, of soundproof panel. METHODS : With four sorts of polymer material, the specimens were made as various structures, 4 mm and 8 mm of single soundpoof panel and vacuum layered 4 mm of one. The experimental condition and procedures were complied with authorized process test, KS F 2808. RESULTS: STL of single panel made of PC were the greatest followed by PMMA, PE, PP regardless of the thickness of panel, However, STL of PMMA panel began to decrease around 2500 Hz and reached the lowest value among others in 5000 Hz. Vacuum layer soundproof panel showed good performance in more than 2000 Hz. Only vacuum layer panel made of PC presented resonance frequency at 800 Hz while that of other vacuum ones at 1000 Hz. CONCLUSIONS: According to results of single layer, it was found that single panel functioned as the theorical way we expected in terms of surface density. That trends were blurred as the panel got thicker. And it was suggested also that vacuum layer panel performed well at high frequency, more than 2000 Hz.

PURPOSES : This study is to suggest future development direction and application of environmental noise barriers as multi-functional soundproof wall. METHODS : Based on the literature review, case study and patent search, research and patent trend were investigated. Patent search was conducted by Patent searching tools, 'Focust'. RESULTS : As environmental noise barriers, Vegetative soundproof wall, photovoltaic soundproof wall, and air-pollution reduction soundproof wall were investigated. First of all, In Korea, Vegetative soundproof wall is being developed mostly as soundproof wall that has vegetation foundation inside, to meet the domestic condition with 23 patent applications. Second, Photovoltaic soundproof wall is being developed mainly with efficiency of photovoltaic system rather than soundproofing. And it is limited to one generation solar cell technology, although Solar cell technology is developing at a rapid pace. On the other hand, for reducing air-pollutant by soundproof wall, a variety of methods are being suggested (filtration, adsorption, and photocatalytic oxidation), and one of them, adsorption are applied for developing air pollution reduction soundproof wall in Korea. CONCLUSIONS: The above soundproof wall is not simple structure, but road facility applied fusion technique. Therefore, as one system, it is difficult to harmonize due to various considerations for design factor. However, if it's possible that a benefits of one system apply to another system, Synergy effect may be created. In the foreseeable future, soundproof wall may be considered as a road system using fusion technique rather than just functional facility. Therefore, substantial studies for applying multi-functional soundproof wall on the road are needed for the future.

국내의 방음시설은 비교적 저렴하고, 설치 및 시공이 간단한 방음벽에 초점이 맞춰져 왔다. 특히, 반사형 방음패널의 경우 흡음형 방음패널과 같은 불투명형 방음벽과는 달리 시야를 가리지 않으므로 방음시설을 요구하는 거주자들에게 인기를 얻고 있다. 그러나 흡음의 효과가 거의 없어 방음벽을 설치한 반대측의 거주자에게 2차 피해를 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 반사형 방음패널의 형태를 개량하여 시야를 가리지 않는 범위에서 피해를 줄일 수 있는 방안마련의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이에 반사형 방음 패널의 전면 형상 및 기하학적 형태를 변화시켜 반사음의 전달이 방음벽 설치 반대방향으로 나아가는 것을 최소화 시킬 수 있는 형상을 도출하고자 하였다. 설계형상 및 설계인자는 그림 1과 같으며, 반사소음 평가는 방음벽이 설치되지 않은 맞은편 도로의 15m(R1), 30m(R2)높이를 목표지점으로 설정하였다. 추가로 도로내측(R3)의 경우 평판형 대비 소음이 증가여부를 확인하기 위하여 선정하였다. 방음벽 설계인자는 표 1에 제시하였으며 위 경우의 소음도를 예측하였다. 그 결과 방음벽 A와 B의 경우 평판 형에 비해 R1지점에서 반사소음을 저감하는 것이 확인되었으며, 특히 A의 경우 2.2 dB(A)의 소음이 감소되어 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. R2지점은 0.2~0.7dB(A)의 소음이 증가하였고, B와 C방음벽은 모든 지점에서 0.1~0.2 dB(A)의 소음이 증가하였다. 결론적으로, 방음벽의 설계인자에 따라 반사소음 증감이 나타났고 방음벽 설계인자중 θ값이 작을수록 저감효과가 좋은 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 방음벽 형상에 따른 반사소음저감 기술개발의 가능성을 확인하였다.

도시화가 가속화됨에 따라 도로주변의 주거지역 개발 및 교통량 증가로 도로소음피해가 점차 증가하고 있다. 이에 소음피해의 대책으로 방음벽 설치 수요가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 방음벽은 특성 및 재질에 따라 다양한 형태로 분류되며 크게 흡음형과 반사형 방음벽으로 구분 할 수 있다. 이중 반사형 방음벽의 경우 주변경관과의 조화성이 높으며, 특히 투명형의 경우 조망권 확보가 유리하다는 장점이 있어 최근 투명형 방음벽의 설치요구가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 반사소음의 영향을 받을 우려가 있는 지역의 경우 설치에 제한이 있다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 반사소음 저감을 위하여 방음벽 형상에 따른 소음저감 효과를 수학적 모델을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 소음저감 목표지점은 방음벽 맞은편 5m(R1), 15m(R2) 높이와 도로내부(R3)등 3개 지점으로 선정하여 일반 평판형 방음벽대비 형상방음벽의 반사소음저감을 평가하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 R1지점에서는 평판형 대비 형상방음벽에서 2.2 dB(A)의 소음이 저감되었으며 R2지점은 0.7 dB(A)의 소음이 증가하였고 R3지점은 소음의 증감이 없었다. 주파수별로는 R1과 R2의 경우 63 Hz 부터 8 KHz까지 주파수별 반사소음차이는 없으나, R3의 경우 63Hz에서 1.3dB(A)가 증가하였고, 8000 Hz에서는 0.5 dB(A)의 소음이 감소하였다. 결론적으로, 방음벽에 형상을 둠에 따라 반사소음 저감효과가 있음을 확인하였으며 최적형상 방음벽을 개발함으로써 반사음 문제해결이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Mg3-xZnxSb2 powders with x = 0-1.2 were fabricated by mechanical alloying in a planetary ball mill with a speed of 350 rpm for 24 hrs and then hot pressed under a pressure of 70 MPa at 773 K for 2 hrs. It was found that there were systematic shifts in the X-ray diffraction peaks of Mg3Sb2 (x = 0) toward a higher angle with increasing Zn for both the powder and the bulk sample and finally the phase of Mg1.86Zn1.14Sb2 was formed at the Zn content of x = 1.2. The Mg3-xZnxSb2 compounds had nano-sized grains of 21-30 nm for the powder and 28-66 nm for the hot pressed specimens. The electrical conductivity of hot pressed Mg3-xZnxSb2 increased with increasing Zn content and temperature from 33 Sm-1 for x = 0 to 13,026 Sm-1 for x = 1.2 at 323 K. The samples for all the compositions from x = 0 to x = 1.2 had positive Seebeck coefficients, which decreased with increasing Zn content and temperature, which resulted from the increased charge carrier concentration. Most of the samples had relatively low thermal conductivities comparable to the high performance thermoelectric materials. The dimensionless figure of merit of Mg3-xZnxSb2 was directly proportional to the Zn content except for the compound with Zn = 1.2 at high temperature. The Mg3-xZnxSb2 compound with Zn = 0.8 had the largest value of ZT, 0.33 at 723 K.

본 연구는 8주령 Sprague-Dawley계통의 암컷 랫드에서 제독유황을 반복경구투여 독성평가를 하기위해 시행하였다. 랫드에 처치한 물질은 사료섭취량의 0.2%, 1%, 5% 제독유황과 사료섭취량의 1% 유황으로 13주 경구투여를 하였다. 제독유황의 안전성을 확인하기 위해 다음과 같은 관찰 및 검사를 하였다. 검사항목으로는 체중과 사료 섭취를 측정하였고 임상증상, 안과학적 검사, 혈액학적 검사, 혈청 생화학적 검사를 관찰하였다. 또한 랫드에 간과 신장에서 의 병리조직학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 체중, 사료섭 취량, 혈액학적 및 병리조직검사 소견에서 대조군과 제독 유황 그룹 간의 유의적인 차이가 보이지 않았다. 혈청생화 학적 검사소견에서는 0.2% 및 1% 투여군에서는 대조군과 비교시 용량의존적으로 유의적인 차이를 보이는 항목은 보이지 않았으나, 고용량군에서는 glucose 감소에 의한 저칼 륨혈증, 인슐린 과잉분비의 독성을 의심할 수 있었으며, 또 한 ALT와 ALP의 증가는 간 독성이나 간암, 황달의 유발이 의심되었다. 한편, 병리조직학적인 검사에서는 시험 전체군에서 대조군과 비교시 유의할만한 병리조직이상이 관 찰되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사료섭취량 1%의 제독유황까지 투여는 랫드에서 독성을 나타내지 않는 것으로 사료된다.

Ni-20Cr-20Fe-5Nb alloy with or without was manufactured by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The grain size of the alloy with was smaller than that of alloy without which results from the effect of suppressing grain growth. The tensile strength at room temperature was increased by the addition of but decreased abruptly at temperature above . It seems to result from the change of deformation mechanism due to fine grain size, that is, grain boundary sliding is predominant at above while internal dislocation movement is predominant at below . After conventional heat treatment process of solution treatment and aging, a small amount of phase was formed in Ni-20Cr-20Fe-5Nb alloy while a large amount of was formed in Inconel 718 in the previous report. This is due to exhaustion of Nb content by the formation of NbC during consolidation.
