삼투압과 기계적 가압의 영향을 모두 받아 비가역적 거동을 보이는 역삼투 (RO) 막오염과는 달리 정삼투(FO)에서 발생된 막오염층은 물리적 세척을 통해 일정수준이상 회복되는 가역성을 보인다. 최근 연구결과에 따르면 FO의 막오염 물질 중 단백질과 다당류와 같은 물질들이 비가역적인 막오염을 유발할 수 있 다는 결과를 보여주었는데 이는 FO의 장점인 가역성을 저해할 수 있다. 이러한 원수에 있는 막오염 물질들이 막오염에 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문에 실제 하수 2 차 처리수를 이용하여 평가한 결과 40% 이상 막오염 회복도가 떨어졌으며 이는 분리막과 원수의 특성에 따라 차이를 나타내었다. 따라서 정삼투공정 운전 시 원수성상과 사용하고자하는 분리막의 재질을 고려하여 물리적세척주기를 결정하여야 한다.

Technical Barriers to International Trade are emerging as main non-tariff barriers and so MRA is getting widespread. In addition, a significant amount in international trade occurs as intra-industry trade instead of inter-industry trade. Based on the cost reduction of testing and certification except many other effects of MRA, we compute the economic impact of MRA quantitatively. First, we use a Cournot model for intra-industry trade to compute the effect of trade balance caused by the cost reduction of testing and certification. Second, we estimate the effect on production inducement, value added inducement and employment inducement via input-output analysis.

The costs of large computing facilities like data centers were dominated by the costs of the information technology (IT) equipment that they have in 1990s. As the indirect cost of IT has increased, Total Cost of Ownership(TCO) analysis is required to find the lifetime costs of acquiring, operating, and changing IT equipment. Nowadays, electricity-related costs such as the electrical power used by IT equipment and the facility costs associated with powering and cooling IT equipment has sharply grown. Nonetheless, those electricity-related costs have been underestimated up to now. In this paper, we will develop TCO model for a high performance computing data center and perform TCO analysis. We will also show that the trend towards growing electricity-related IT equipment costs continue, direct IT equipment acquisition costs will not be an critical factor of the economics of computing services.

Several kinds of coagulants such as aluminum sulfate, PAC, PASS are being used to treat drinking water resulting in residual aluminum ions in the water. Recently, it has been reported that high intake of aluminum ion may cause neurological dieseases such as Alzheimer's diesease and presenile dementia. Because of the possible adverse effect, WHO and EEC recommand to regulate residual aluminum. The autorities in Korea also has plan of regulating residual alunimum from 1995. But there is not enough information about the range of residual aluminum ion concentration when the aluminum sulfate, PAC or PASS has been used as a coagulant. Therefore the study has been conducted to find out the range of residual aluminum ion concentration after using aluminum sulfate, PAC, and PASS. Furthermore the effect of turbidity and alkalinity have been investigated. The experimental results are summarized as; 1. Most of the residual aluminum ion concentrations were within $10^{-6}$ and $10^{-5}mole/l$. Three coagulants have not showed any considerable difference in the residual aluminum concentration up to 50 NTU. However PAC has showed the least residual aluminum in high turbidity water over 100 NTU. 2. The low alkalinity water having 25mg/l as $CaCO_3$ has showed less residual aluminum than the water having 50mg/l alkalinity. However, the difference was not significcant. 3. Even the lowest residual aluminum concentration was over 0.05mg/l. Therefore the process to reduce residual aluminum would be necessary in water treatment plants.

The effects of chlorine dioxide on the oxidation of phenol and disinfection were studied in the various test water conditions. With the 0.3mg/l of chlorine dioxide dose, the spiked phenol(initial concentration: 0.1mg/l) was completely oxidized within 10 minute. The removal rate of phenol was much faster in distilled water than in ground water and filtered water. The applied dose of chlorine dioxide concentrations higher than 0.2mg/l was sufficiently enough for the complete oxidation of phenol. However, with 0.1mg/l of dose, chlorine dioxide can oxidize only 20% of the spiked phenol. The reactive substances present in test water may influence the chlorine dioxide demand in water. pH effect of oxidation rate was also investigated. Increasing the pH, the removal rate of phenol was found to be increased. The disinfection test of chlorine and chlorine dioxide were conducted and compared. The lethal effect for the both disinfectants are similarly powerful. The time for 99% inactivation of E. coli was obtained within 120 sec with the 0.2mg/l of each dose.
