In this study, using the developed pilot device, an experiment was conducted with groundwater according to the calcium carbonate concentration and silica concentration for a certain period of time to determine the degree of RO membrane contamination according to water quality. In addition, using wastewater with severe fouling of raw water, the treatment efficiency is compared through an experiment with a pilot device, the operation progress is evaluated for the scale effect, and the stability and convenience of the developed product are considered.

The performance characteristics and usefulness of the duct-type gas removal system to which the catalytic combustion method was applied were investigated by experiment. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene were selected for performance tests on gas detection and removal of the catalytic combustion system. Accelerated experiments were performed to evaluate the gas sensing performance, the adsorption performance of activated carbon, and the basic performance and durability of the catalytic combustion system. The amount of gas adsorption in the adsorption stage was changed according to the type of activated carbon, adsorption temperature and time. The adsorption amount increased with increasing temperature and particle size. BTEX gas removal rate was about 96%, and the performance of the module was maintained for more than 4,000 hours.

In order to research the adsorption removal characteristics of trace organic by-products in disinfection of drinking water by biological activated carbon(BAC), water samples disinfected with Cl_2, O_3 and ClO_2 after treatment by fluidized-bed system with water added with humic acid(l0㎎/L) were investigated the formation and the removal of trihalomethanes (THMs), and the trace organic by-products by gas chromatography(GC) & gas chromatography/mass selective detector(GC/MSD). Control was used by activated carbon(AC) and water added with hurnic acid(HA). The results were summarized as follow ; The THMs removal effect of BAC by chlorination was in lower 90 % than that of control(HA), the sorts of oxidants formed by Cl_2, O3 and ClO_2 were that O_3 was very fewer than Cl_2 or ClO_2 and that ClO_2 was fewer than Cl_2 The trace organic by-products were esters and phthalates etc. Based on results above, it is concluded that BAC was appeared the more desirable adsorption-degradation removal characteristics than that of AC.
