MgO based nanocomposite powder including ferromagnetic iron particle dispersions, which can be available for the magnetic and catalytic applications, was fabricated by the spray pyrolysis process using ultra-sonic atomizer and reduction processes. Liquid source was prepared from iron (Fe)-nitrate, as a source of Fe nano-dispersion, and magnesium (Mg)-nitrate, as a source of MgO materials, with pure water solvent. After the chamber were heated to given temperatures (500~), the mist of liquid droplets generated by ultrasonic atomizer carried into the chamber by a carrier gas of air, and the ist was decomposed into Fe-oxide and MgO nano-powder. The obtained powders were reduced by hydrogen atmosphere at 600~. The reduction behavior was investigated by thermal gravity and hygrometry. After reduction, the aggregated sub-micron Fe/MgO powders were obtained, and each aggregated powder composed of nano-sized Fe/MgO materials. By the difference of the chamber temperature, the particle size of Fe and MgO was changed in a few 10 nm levels. Also, the nano-porous Fe-MgO sub-micron powders were obtained. Through this preparation process and the evaluation of phase and microstructure, it was concluded that the Fe/MgO nanocomposite powders with high surface area and the higher coercive force were successfully fabricated.
The Wastewater from the weight reduction process of polyester is more difficult to be treated biologically than the general wastewater from dyeing and finishing processes in textile industries. Above wastewater shows high pH, high organic strength and wide variation of organic loading. These characteristics are due to TPA and EG resulting from alkaline weight-reduction process and make trouble in the operation of activated sludge process. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop the pretreatment method for the successful operation of treatment process. For the successful pretreatment process, the wastewater from weight-reduction process should be segregated from other wastewater stream and then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid to precipitate out TPA from DST solution. At the optimum pH of 2. 2, the initial $COD_{cr}$ 60,000mg/l is reduced to 11,500mg/l and the removal efficiency of $COD_{cr}$ is 81.1%. The required amount of sulfuric acid for pretreatment is not greater than the amount for the the existing neutralization process. Moreover, the supernatant of pretreatment process can be reused in acidification of wastewater.
In this study, the applicability of reduction-oxidation-linked treatment was evaluated for nitrobenzene and a by-product by analyzing the reaction kinetics. Nitrobenzene showed very low reactivity to persulfate that was activated using various methods. Nitrobenzene effectively reacted through the reduction process using Zero-Valent Iron (ZVI). However, aniline, a toxic substance, was produced as a by-product. Reduction-oxidation-linked treatment is a method that can allow the oxidative degradation of aniline after reducing nitrobenzene to aniline. The experimental results show improved reactivity and complete decomposition of the by-product. Improved reactivity and decomposition of the by-product were observed even under conditions in which the reduction-oxidation reaction was induced simultaneously. No activator was injected for persulfate activation in the process of reducing oxidant linkage, and the activation reaction was induced by ferrous iron eluted from the ZVI. This indicates that this method can be implemented relatively simply.
글로우 고압 방전 방식에 의한 저온 플라즈마(Non-thermal Plasma, NTP) 공정은 액상에서 광전자, 전자, OH-라디칼, 전자기 에너지 등 반응성이 높은 화학물질의 형성할 수 있다. 이 NTP는 공기를 carrier 가스로 활용하여 반응성이 높은 화학종을 생성하는데, 유기물을 효과적으로 산화시키는 고도산화공법의 일종이다. NTP의 강력한 산화력에도 불구하고, NTP 공정에서 발현되는 오염물질의 분해 메커니즘과 그 중간부산물 및 최종 생성물의 경로는 명확하게 밝혀지지 않아 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구는 폐수 내 다양한 오염물질이 어떠한 메커니즘으로 분해되는가를 실험적으로 규명하고, 2종(sulfamethazine sodium salt와 sulfathiazole sodium salt)의 sulfonamide 계열 항생제에 NTP 공정을 적용하여 제거성능과 분해경로를 검증한다. 또한, 대상 항생제의 분해가 폐수처리 과정에서의 분해 동역학 및 생태 독성과 어떻게 관련되는지를 확인하기 위해 주요 중간부산물 및 신규생성물의 fate를 확인한다. NTP 공정의 진보된 효과를 증명하기 위해 반응성 화학종인 과산화수소 (H2O2)의 순간 생성량을 정량하였으며, OH-라디칼 생성의 간접지표인 N-Dimethyl-4-Nitrosoaniline (RNO) 물질의 분해동역학적 성질을 바탕으로 분해속도계수를 산출하였다. H2O2의 농도는 초기 NTP 공정 적용 시 300 mg/L 까지 증가하였고, 1440 min 적용 시 약 12 mg/L로 감소하며 OH-라디칼 생성과 오염물질 분해에 관여하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 RNO 물질은 일차함수 형태로 감소하며, 0.91/hr의 속도로 제거되었다. LC-MS/MS (6410 LC-ESI/MS/MS (QQQ), Agilent, USA) 분석을 통해 검출된 중간부산물과 신규생성물을 통해 분해경로를 확인하였다. 문헌과 실험결과의 비교는 NTP 공정이 OH-라디칼 발생 및 산화 환원제와 반응종의 상호 작용으로 인한 산화력 측면에서 다른 산화 공정보다 우수함을 보여준다. Daphnia magna를 이용한 생태독성(Toxicity Unit, TU) 결과는 폐수처리에 대한 NTP 공정 적용이 반응성 화학종의 생성촉진을 통해 독성의 저감에 기여함을 보여주며, 실험결과 TU 값은 초기 2.2 대비 24 hr 적용 후 0.8로 크게 감소하였고, 충분한 체류 시간이 핵심 설계요소임을 밝혔다. 궁극적으로 본 연구는 항생제의 효과적인 제어 및 부산물 관리방안에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공한다.
석탄과 철광석은 산업발달의 시작부터 현재까지 지속적으로 사용되고 있다. 이에 따라 수반된 석탄 및 철광석 정제산업의 발달은 석탄철광폐수의 양적 증가를 초래하여 그 처리가 많은 관심 속에 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 석탄철광폐수는 페놀, 시안과 같은 독성 물질 뿐 만 아니라 혐기성미생물과 경쟁관계에 있는 황산염환원균활성증가를 초래하는 SO42-를 고농도로 함유한다. 이 석탄철광폐수의 처리법으로는 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 처리가 다양하게 연구되어왔는데, 고농도의 폐수처리에 익히 알려진 혐기성미생물을 이용한 석탄철광폐수의 처리는 경제성과 재생에너지 측면에서 최근 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 폐수에 함유된 페놀, 시안, 등과 같은 독성물질이 생물학적 처리에 심각한 저해를 초래할 수 있어 문제로 지적되고 있으나 그 독성에 대한 현재까지의 연구는 미진한 형편이다. 이에 본 연구는 입상 혐기성미생물이 석탄철광폐수 소화 시 받게 되는 급성독성에 대하여 실험적 고찰을 진행하고 그 적응 방안을 연구하였다. 석탄철광폐수는 석탄철광정제의 완료시점에 실폐수 샘플을 채취하여 사용하였다. 폐수특성 분석결과 pH 7, 페놀 589±23 mg/L, 시안 49 mg/L, 암모니아성질소 39±9 mg/L, SO4-2는 735 mg/L이며 화학적 산소요구량은 3.9 g/L으로 나타났다. 석탄철광폐수에 대한 물벼룩 급성독성시험 결과 TU가 28로 매우 높게 측정되었다. 이 폐수에 UASB의 입상슬러지를 이용하여 혐기성소화를 수행하였다. 약 20일간 유기물 부하 0.6 g COD/L/day에서 초기 적응을 수행하였고, 혐기성소화조의 정상상태에서 COD 제거율은 98%, 메탄수율은 약 80 mL CH4/g COD로 나타났다. 이 혐기성소화조가 석탄철광폐수 유기물부하 0.76 g COD/L/day에 노출 되었을 경우 미생물의 활성을 모니터링한 결과, 폐수유입 즉시 메탄가스발생이 80% 이상 감소되는 강한 독성이 감지되었으며 COD 제거효율은 점차 감소하여 약 20일 후 10%로 낮아졌다. 유출수 내 페놀은 약 210 mg/L로 제거율 60%을 나타났지만 시안은 106 mg/L로 분해되지 않고 축적되어 유입 대비 2배가량 증가하였다. SO4-2 는 2000 mg/L로 급격하게 농도가 증가한 후 약 20일 후 1000 mg/L 이하로 감소하였다. 이로보아 석탄철광폐수 내 시안과 황화합물로 인하여 혐기성미생물 내의 메탄균의 저해가 이루어짐을 짐작할 수 있다. VFA 분석결과는 산발효균과 메탄발효균의 공생관계가 파괴되었음을 보여주었다. 더불어 높은 SO4-2 농도는 황산염환원균과의 경쟁이 유도될 수 있는 농도로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 석탄철광폐수의 급성독성은 고농도의 독성물질 제거를 위한 전처리 혹은 혐기성미생물의 적응기간이 필요함을 나타내었으며, 후자를 선택하여 약 30일 간 단계적인 미생물의 독성적응절차를 거친 결과 급성독성을 극복하고 유기물 및 페놀 분해가 점진적으로 가능함을 확인 하였다.

The SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system is highly-effective technique for NOx reduction from exhaust gases. In this study, the effects of the direction and size of nozzle and the ammonia injection concentration on the performance of SCR system are analyzed by using the computational fluid dynamics method. When the nozzle is arranged in zigzaged direction which is normal to exhausted gas flow, it is shown that the uniformity of gas flow and the NH3/NO molar ratio is improved remarkably. With the change of the ammonia injection concentration from 0.2 vol%(wet) to 1.0 vol%(wet), the uniformity of gas flow shows a good results. As the size of nozzle diameter changes from 6 mm to 12 mm, the uniformity of gas flow is maintained well. It is shown that the uniformity of the NH3/NO molar ratio becomes better with decreasing the ammonia injection concentration and the size of nozzle diameter.
The effect of temperature on the removal process of Cr(VI) ion contained in wastewater by a precipitation method has been investigated for the improvement of its design and operation. The distribution diagram of chromium ion was constructed by employing the MINTEQ program and the quantitative feature of Cr(VI) depending on pH was investigated. As the temperature increases, the relative amount of H2CrO4 was examined to be raised and the pH range in which H2CrO4 exists as a stable form was also investigated to be extended according to the temperature. Cr(VI) ion was shown to be changed from HCrO4 − to Cr2O7 2− as the concentration of Cr(VI) ion is increased in the neutral pH condition and the concentration of Cr(VI) ion which is necessary for the ionic transformation was observed to rise in the acidic and alkaline conditions. The major reactant which involved in the reduction reaction for the removal of Cr(VI) ion was examined to be HCrO4 − and the reduction of Cr(VI) ion to Cr(III) ion was investigated to be influenced much by the temperature change at higher pH conditions. The reduction reaction of Cr(VI) ion for its removal as a precipitate was examined to be promoted as the temperature decreases and pH is lowered. In addition, the stable region of Cr(OH)3 was shown to be enlarged with temperature based on the thermodynamic estimation and it was thought to be necessary to design and control the precipitating process of Cr(VI) ion by considering the thermal characteristics of reduction and precipitation stage.
In order to clarify the impact of emissions reductions on the air quality over Metropolitan area of Korean Peninsula, several numerical experiment and analysis of integrated process rate(IPR) of ozone were carried out. Numerical models used in this study are WRF for the estimate the meteorological elements and CMAQ for assessment of ozone concentration.
As result in the sensitive test of VOC/NOx reduction experiments, although VOC reduction tends to induce the different impact on the advection and photochemical reaction rate of ozone in urban area and rural area, the mechanism of ozone appeared to be more sensitive to the reduction of VOC than that of NOx over the metropolitan and its surround area. So the control of VOC emission inventories is an effective means to decrease the ozone concentrations around this area.
본고에서는 초고압 추출 공정을 통한 홍경천의 독성 저감 및 항암활성 효과를 알아보기 위하여 실험을 실시하였는데 그 결과는 아래와 같다. 인간의 정상 신장세포인 HEK293을 이용한 세포 독성은 초고압으로 15분간 처리한 것에서는 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 최고 20.4%의 세포독성을 보였으며, 초고압으로 5분간 처리한 것은 22.5%로 초고압 시간이 길어질수록 세포독성이 낮아지는 것을 확인했다. 일반 추출물은 25.3%로 초고압 처리한 군에 비해 높은 독성을 나타내어 초고압 처리 시 독성이 저감되는 것을 확인하였다. 초고압 처리 군은 또한 HEL299를 이용한 세포독성 실험에서도 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 일반 추출물인 WE보다 5% 정도 낮은 독성을 나타냈다. 항암활성 측정은 A549, AGS, MCF-7, Hep3B의 암세포를 실험에 사용하여 실시하였다. 모든 암세포에서 1.0 mg/ml의 농도에서 75% 이상의 높은 억제활성을 보였고, 또한 암세포의 생육활성에 대한 정상 세포의 세포독성의 비로 나타낸 선택적 사멸도는 0.6 mg/ml에서 가장 높은 수치를 보였는데 모두 4이상으로 나타났으며, 15분 동안 초고압 추출을 한 것이 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 실험 결과를 통하여 초고압으로 인해 기존의 추출 방법으로는 추출되지 않았던 유용생리활성 물질들이 초고압으로 인해 조직과 세포막 파괴로 인해용출량 증가로 인해 수율이 증가하였으며, 홍경천의 독성 물질이 파괴되는 것으로 판단된다. 단순한 침전 추출법에 의한 추출방법보다는 초고압 추출에 의한 추출로 식물체에 함유되어 있는 성분 추출의 수율을 배가 시킬 수 있으며, 홍경천 자체 성분에 약간의 변화를 가할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 홍경천 성분의 변화는 초고압 추출을 통하여 에너지 수준이 제한된 수소결합, 전기적 결합, 반데르발스결합, 수소결합과 같은 약한 결합들이 분리됨으로써 성분의 변화가 있을 것으로 보인다.
It was compared the reduction effect of contaminants and odor according to DO change and EM (effective microorganisms) addition in maturation process of piggery slurry. The maturation processes were divided into three cases as follows: R-1 was operated at 2.5 mg/ℓ of DO without the addition of EM, R-2 was operated at 7.5 mg/ℓ of DO without the addition of EM and R-3 was operated at 2.5 mg/ℓ of DO with the addition of EM. The addition of EM was more effective than the increase of DO for the reduction of CODcr, NH3-N and T-N in the maturation of piggery slurry. In addition, the reducing effect of odor intensity appeared high even in the short-term maturation period in case of adding EM and one could not even smell the stimulating odor of piggery slurry.
The changes of contaminants and odor corresponding to anaerobic maturation process of piggery slurry were investigated by applying the additives, such as different kinds of complex microorganism products and deodorants containing microorganism activating agents. The pHs during 20-day anaerobic maturation were operated stably without great change regardless of the additives, although they were rather lower in the case that the additives were contained than the case that they were not contained. The effects of removing CODcr, NH3-N, T-N, and T-S in case that the additives were not contained, were not so great during the 20-day operation and so it would be difficult to remove the organic materials and nitrogen ingredients simply with anaerobic maturation process. However, in case of anaerobic maturation process that the additives were contained, their average removal rates were improved with the values of 49%, 63.5%, 48.5%, and 30.7% for above each of items, even if the 20-day of short-term maturation period was applied. Especially, odor intensity with the additives was lowered continuously during the operation period and it had more than two times of lowering effect compared to that without those.
The SBR(Sequencing Batch Reactor) process is ideally suited to treat high loading wastewater due to its high dilution rate. SBR operates by a cycle of periods consisting of filling, reacting, settling, decanting and idling. The react phases such as aeration or non-aeration, organic oxidation, nitrification, denitrification and other biological reactions can be achieved in a reactor.
Although the whole reactions can be achieved in a SBR with time distributing, it is hard to manage the SBR as a normal condition without recognizing a present state. The present state can be observed with nutrient sensors such as NH4+-N, NO2--N, NO3--N and PO43--P. However, there is still a disadvantage to use the nutrient sensors because of their high expense and inconvenience to manage. Therefore, it is very useful to use common on-line sensors such as DO, ORP and pH, which are less expensive and more convient. Moreover, the present states and unexpected changes of SBR might be predicted by using of them.
This study was conducted to get basic materials for making an inference of SBR process from ORP(oxidation reduction potential) of synthetic wastewater. The profiles of ORP, DO, and pH were under normal nitrification and denitrification were obtained to compare abnormal condition. And also, nitrite and nitrate accumulation were investigated during reaction of SBR.
The bending point on ORP profile was not entirely in the low COD/NOx ratio condition. In this case, NOx was not entirely removed, and minimum ORP value was presented over -300mV. Under suitable COD/NOx ratio which complete denitrification was achieved, ORP bending point was observed and minimum ORP value was under -300mV. Under high COD/NOx ratio, ORP bending point was not detected at the first subcycle because of the fast denitrification and minimum ORP value was under -300mV at the time.
