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.

2012년 현재, 국내 광공업 중 자동차 및 트레일러 제조업, 금속가공제품 제조업 등 금속가공을 필요로 하는 사업체는 전체 광공업 사업체 중 약 40%를 차지하고 있으며, 이와 같은 금속가공 과정에서 필요로 하는 것이 절삭유이다. 그러나 절삭유 내에는 50~80% 정도의 미네랄 오일 외에 amins, carboxylates, chlorine, glycols와 같은 부식방지제, 안정제, 습윤제, 극압 첨가제 등 20여종 이상의 화학성분이 다량 함유되어 있으며, 인체에 지속적으로 노출 시 호흡기 자극, 천식, 폐렴, 피부염, 모낭염 및 피부암 등을 일으키게 된다. 또한 고농도의 유기성분이 함유되어 있으며 유기성분 외에도 금속가공유 내 함유된 암모니아성 질소는 수생태계에 방류되면 부영양화 및 녹조현상과 같은 문제를 일으키며, 수중에서 산화반응을 하여 아질산성 질소와 질산성 질소로 변화되면서 수계의 용존산소를 감소시켜 수계 내 오염을 일으켜 각별한 처리가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수용성 절삭유의 효율적인 처리를 위해 용성전극인 알루미늄과 SUS316전극을 이용하여 전극간격, 전압, NaCl 농도변화를 통해 암모니아성 질소 제거 효율에 미치는 영향을 검토하여, 전극 특성과 각 인자에 따른 제거양상을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 시료는 수용성 절삭유 W1-1종을 초순수와 함께 5%(V/V) 희석하여 사용하였으며 성상은 Table 1과 같다. 장치구성은 반응조, 전극, 전원공급장치, 전압안정기(AVR)로 진행하였으며, 장치모식도는 다음 Fig. 1에 나타내었다.

Generally, metal working fluids (MWFs) are used to reduce friction in metalworking processes. In addition to mineral oils, MWFs contain many chemical substances, such as anticorrosive agents, extreme-pressure additives, and stabilizers, as well as high concentrations of organics and ammonia nitrogen. Accordingly, MWFs must be managed to advanced treatment for hydro-ecological conservation. This study investigated the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen from MWFs according to operating time, applied voltage, distance between electrodes, and NaCl concentration using aluminum in a batch-type reactor. The experimental results were as follows: First, without NaCl, removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen were 69.6%, 37.9%, and 22.7%, when the distance between electrodes was adjusted to 1, 4, and 7 cm, respectively, at 15 V for 60 min. Secondly, without NaCl, removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen were 49.5 and 90.9% when the voltage was adjusted to 5 V and 10 V, respectively, for 60 min and 94.6% at 15 V for 40 min. Lastly, with the addition of NaCl 10 mM, the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen was 40.3% and 11.5% greater than that of no addition of NaCl at 5 V for 60 min and at 10 V for 30 min.

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.

For electrolysis process using an insoluble electrode, electrochemical performance was greatly affected by the manufacturing method and procedure, such as the firing temperature, pre-treatment, type of precursor solution, coating method, electrode material, etc. Components of the electrode therein is one of the most important factors in electrochemical reaction. To achieve such characteristics, a appropriate ratio of the electrode material should be carefully chosen. The aim of this research was to apply experimental design method in the optimization of electrode component for the maximum generation of oxidants in electrochemical oxidation process. Mixture design, especially expanded simplex lattice design, in DOME (design of mixture experiments) with Design Expert - commercial software - was used to analyze the data. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a high coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.9470, thus ensuring a satisfactory adjustment of the 3rd order special cubic regression model with the experimental data. The application of response surface methodology (RSM) yielded the following regression equation, which is an empirical relationship between the TRO generation concentration and independent variables(mol ratio of 3 electrode components) in a real unit: TRO generation concentration (mg/L) = TRO conc. = 98.25×[Ir] + 49.71×[Sn] + 95.29×[Sb] 16.91×[Ir]×[Sn] - 29.47×[Ir]×[Sb] 22.65×[Sn]×[Sb] + 703.19 ×[Ir]×[Sn]×[Sb]. The optimized formulation of the 3 component electrode for an high TRO (total residual oxidants) generation was acquired at mol ratio of Ir 0.406, Sn 0.210, Sb 0.384 (desirability d value, 1).

The aim of this paper is to compare the characteristics of the T-P removal from synthesized municipal wastewater by electro-coagulation using cylindrical Al and Fe electrode as anode. For this purpose, a concentric circle type electrolysis reactor was used and the operating conditions for T-P removal from synthesized wastewater are as follows; potential 10 V, electrolyte 0.03% NaCl, initial T-P concentration 1.0 ~ 6.0 mg/L and flow rate 1.0 ~ 5.0 L/min. From the experimental results, T-P concentration of treated wastewater was decreased to less than 0.2 mg/L enough to discharge standard and Al electrode showed performance than Fe electrode for T-P removal by electro-coagulation. Optimal conditions for T-P removal to less than 0.15 mg/L which is 75% of discharge standard for large scale municipal wastewater plant (capacity higher than 500 m3/day) were obtained as follows; flow rate 2.503 L/min, and 2.337 L/min, HRT 1.059 min, 1.134 min, for Al and Fe electrode, respectively. Consumed mass of Al and Fe were of 3.76 times and 8.90 times respectively, were obtained to removed T-P at optimal conditions with potential 10 V, and 0.03% NaCl as electrolyte.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the performance of insoluble electrode for the purpose of degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and oxidants generation [N,N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline (RNO, indicator of OH radical), O3, H2O2, free Cl, ClO2)]. Methods: Four kinds of electrodes were used for comparison: DSA (dimensional stable anode; Pt and JP202 electrode), Pb and boron doping diamond (BDD) electrode. The effect of applied current (0.5～2.5 A), electrolyte type (NaCl, KCl and Na2SO4) and electrolyte concentration (0.5～3.5 g/L) on the RNO degradation were evaluated. Experimental results showed that the order of RhB removal efficiency lie in: JP202 > Pb > BDD ≒> Pt. However, when concerned the electric power on maintaining current of 1 A during electrolysis reaction, the order of RhB removal efficiency was changed: JP202 > Pt ≒ Pb > BDD. The total generated oxidants (H2O2, O3, free Cl, ClO2) concentration of 4 electrodes was Pt (6.04 mg/W) > JP202 (4.81 mg/W) > Pb (3.61 mg/W) > BDD (1.54 mg/W), respectively. JP202 electrode was the best electrode among 4 electrodes from the point of view of performance and energy consumption. Regardless of the type of electrode, RNO removal of NaCl and KCl (chlorine type electrolyte) were higher than that of the Na2SO4 (sulfuric type electrolyte) RNO removal. Except BDD electrode, RhB degradation and creation tendency of oxidants such as H2O2, O3, free Cl and ClO2, found that do not match. RNO degradation tendency were considered a simple way to decide the method which is simple it will be able to determinate the electrode where the organic matter decomposition performance is superior. As the added NaCl concentration was increases, the of hydrogen peroxide and ozone concentration increases, and this was thought to increase the quantity of OH radical.

progressing in widely. Among of theses photoconductor materials, mercuric iodide compound than amorphous selenium has excellent absorption and sensitivity of high energy radiation. Also, the detection efficiency of signal generated in photoconductor film varies by electric filed and geometric distribution according to top-bottom electrode size. Therefore, in this work, the x-ray detection characteristics are investigated about the size of top electrode in HgI photoconductor film. For sample fabrication, to solve the problem that is difficult to make a large area film, we used the spatial paste screen-print method. And the sample thickness is 150μm and an film area size is 3cm×3cm on ITO-coated glass substrate. ITO(Indium-Tin-Oxide) electrode was used as top electrode using a magnetron sputtering system and each area is 3cm×3cm, 2cm×2cm and 1cm×1cm. From experimental measurement, the dark current, sensitivity and SNR of the HgI film are obtained from I-V test. From the experimental results, it shows that the sensitivity increases in accordance with the area of the electrode but the SNR is decreased because of the high dark current. Therefore, the optimized size of electrode is importance for the development of photoconductor based x-ray imaging detector.

Voltammetric diagnostics of pesticide thiram was studied in plant leafs in vivo fluid with DNA immobilized on a carbon nanotube electrode (DCE). Sensor properties of carbon nanotube (CE) and DNA immobilized nanotube were compared. DCE was more effective than CE in target detecting. The parameters such as pH strength, stripping accumulation, amplitude, and increment potential were examined to find the optimum condition for detection of pesticide thiram in a sesame leaf. The optimized conditions were as follows 550 Hz frequency, 0.15 V amplitude, 0.005 V increment potential, -1.2 V initial potential, 4.78 pH, 500 sec accumulation time. Under optimum condition, the detection limit of thiram was attained at 0.01ng/L.

The purpose of this study is to degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB, dye) and N, N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline (RNO, indicator of the electro-generation of OH radical) in solution using boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode. The effects of applied current (0.2~1.0 A), electrolyte type (NaCl, KCl, and Na2SO4) and electrolyte concentration (0.5~3.0 g/L), solution pH (3~11) and air flow rate (0~4 L/min) were evaluated. Experimental results showed that RhB and RNO removal tendencies appeared with the almost similar thing, except of current. Optimum current for RhB degradation was 0.6 A, however, RNO degradations was increased with increase of applied current. The RhB and RNO degradation of Cl type electrolyte were higher than that of the sulfate type. The RhB and RNO degradation were increased with increase of NaCl concentration and optimum NaCl dosage was 2.5 g/L. The RhB and RNO concentrations were not influenced by pH under pH 7. Optimum air flow rate for the oxidants generation and RhB and RNO degradation were 2 L/min. Initial removal rate of electrolysis process was expressed Langmuir - Hinshelwood equation, which is used to express the initial removal rate of UV/TiO2 process.

Sediment works as a resource for electric cells. This paper was designed in order to verify how sediment cells work with anodic material such as metal and carbon fiber. As known quite well, sediment under sea, rivers or streams provides a furbished environment for generating electrons via some electron transfer mechanism within specific microbial population or corrosive oxidation on the metal surfaces in the presence of oxygen or water molecules. We experimented with one type of sediment cell using different anodic material so as to attain prolonged, maximum electric power. Iron, Zinc, aluminum, copper, zinc/copper, and graphite felt were tested for anodes. Also, combined type of anodes-metal embedded in the graphite fiber matrix-was experimented for better performances. The results show that the combined type of anodes exhibited sustainable electricity production for ca. 600 h with max. 0.57 W/㎡ Al/Graphite. Meanwhile, graphite-only electrodes produced max. 0.11 W/㎡ along with quite stationary electric output, and for a zinc electrode, in which the electricity generated was not stable with time, therefore resulting in relatively sharp drop in that after 100 h or so, the maximum power density was 0.64 W/㎡. It was observed that the corrosive reaction rates in the metal electrodes might be varied, so that strength and stability in the electric performances(voltage and current density) could be affected by them. In addition to that, COD(chemical oxygen demand) of the sediment of the cell system was reduced by 17.5∼36.7% in 600 h, which implied that the organic matter in the sediment would be partially converted into non-COD substances, that is, would suggest a way for decontamination of the aged, anaerobic sediment as well. The pH reduction for all electrodes could be a sign of organic acid production due to complicated chemical changes in the sediment.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of water quality of cooling tower on Legionella pneumophila disinfection using Ru/Ti electrode. The influences of parameters such as pH, turbidity, CaCO₃ and TOC were investigated using laboratory scale batch reactor. Oxidants such as free Cl, ClO₂, H₂O₂ and O₃ were measured. The results showed that all of the water quality parameters of cooling tower had deteriorated disinfection of Legionella pneumophila. When the turbidity, CaCO₃ and TOC was increased, oxidants which was generated during electrolysis was decreased. pH, free Cl, ClO₂ and H₂O₂ concentration were decreased with the increase of pH, whereas O₃ concentration was increased with the increase of pH. The order of effect of water quality on the disinfection performance for Legionella pneumophila was turbidity > CaCO₃ > TOC > pH. To obtain the safety standard (1000 CFU/L), the simultaneous increase current and NaCl dosage was needed.

For the RhB removal from the wastewater, electrochemical method was adapted to this study. Three dimensionally stable anode (Pt, Ir and Ru) and graphite and Ru cathode were used. In order to identify decolorization, the effects of electrode, current density, electrolyte and air flow rate were investigated. The effects of electrode material, current, electrolyte concentration and air flow rate were investigated on the decolorization of RhB. Electro-Fenton's reaction was evaluated by added Fe2+ and H2O2 generated by the graphite cathode. Performance for RhB decolorization of the four electrode systems lay in: Ru-graphite > Ru-Ru > Ir-graphite > Pt-graphite. A complete color removal was obtained for RhB (30 mg/L) at the end of 30 min of electrolysis under optimum operations of 2 g/L NaCl concentration and 2 A current. Fe2+ addition increased initial reaction and decreased final RhB concentration. However the effect was not high.
