In this study, solid-liquid separation conditions for coagulation and sedimentation experiments using inorganic coagulant (aluminum sulfate and Poly-Aluminum Chloride (PAC)) were optimized with brine wastewater discharged by the epoxy-resin process. When the turbidity and suspended solid (SS) concentration in raw wastewater were 74 NTU and 4.1 mg/L, respectively, their values decreased the lowest in a coagulant dosage of 135.0 - 270.0 mg Al3+/L. The epoxy resin was re-dispersed in the upper part of wastewater treated above 405.0 mg Al3+/L. The removal efficiencies of turbidity and SS via dosing with aluminum sulfate and PAC were evaluated at initial turbidity and SS of 74 - 630 NTU and 4.1 - 38.5 mg/L, respectively. They increased most in the range from 135.0 - 270.0 mg Al3+/L. The solid-liquid separation condition was quantitatively compared to the correlation of SS removal efficiency between the coagulant dosage and SS concentration based on the concentration of aluminum ions. The empirical formula,   , shows the relationship between SS removal efficiency (R) and coagulant dosage (D) at 38.5 mg/L; it produced high correlation coefficients (r2) of 0.9871 for aluminum sulfate and 0.9751 for PAC.

Recent research has demonstrated that treating poultry litter with alum (aluminum sulfate) and aluminum chloride can remove environmental threats (ammonia, soluble phosphorus and odor) posed by litter. However, scientific information available on heavy metal in poultry litter with liquid aluminum chloride is still lacked. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of applying liquid aluminum chloride to rice hulls on heavy metals and to provide basic information to producers. Six hundred 0-d-old broiler were assigned to 4 treatments (control, 100 g, 200 g and 300 g of liquid AlCl3/kg of rice hulls, respectively) with 3 replicates of 50 birds. The experimental period lasted for 6 weeks. Liquid AlCl3 was sprayed on the rice hulls surface using a small hand pump. Total Al contents increased (P<0.05) with the increasing levels of liquid AlCl3 levels over time in comparison with control groups. Total Cu and Pb were lowered in all liquid AlCl3 treatments compared with the controls during 6 weeks. Significant differences in all treatments were found for total Cu contents at 2, 3 and 5 weeks and total Pb at 0, 1, 2 and 3 weeks. Total Zn contents decreased with time when compared with controls. However, no significant differences in total Zn contents were observed among all treatments. In light of environmental managements, spraying liquid AlCl3 to rice hulls indicated the significant advantages in reducing heavy metals as well as improving poultry industrial competitiveness.

The goals of this study were conducted to investigate the effects of applying liquid aluminum chloride (AlCl3) to rice hulls on pH and soluble reactive P (SRP). A total of 800 broiler chicks (4 treatments × 4 replicates × 50 birds) were housed into 16 floor pens in a single house for 5 weeks. The treatments were divided into 4 groups: control, 100 g of liquid AlCl3/kg of rice hulls, 200 g of liquid AlCl3/kg of rice hulls, and 300 g of liquid AlCl3/kg of rice hulls. Liquid AlCl3 was sprayed on the rice hulls surface at a rate of 100 g, 200 g, and 300 g liquid AlCl3 per kg rice hull. pH values and SRP contents were significantly decreased (P<0.05) with the increased liquid AlCl3 levels in comparison with control. However, no significant differences in SRP contents were observed among all treatments at 3 and 4 weeks. Applying 100 g, 200 g, and 300 g liquid AlCl3 to rice hulls reduced SRP contents by 18, 25, and 52% for 5 weeks, respectively, compared with the controls. In conclusion, these results suggest that using liquid AlCl3 on rice hulls should be promising for reducing water contamination and resulted in a reduction in SRP contents, which reduced pH.

본 실험은 벼 종자에 Al을 0, 300, 600 및 900ppm으로 처리하여 발아중 Al에 대한 벼의 초장, 근장, 발아율 등의 생육특성, 엽록소 함량, 전분, 당 및 유리 proline함량 등의 변화를 일품벼와 향미벼 001를 공시하여 검시한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 초장과 근장은 Al의 농도가 증가할수록 신장이 감소하였는데 뿌리의 신장억제가 보다 현저하였다. 발아율은 일품벼와 향미벼 001 모두 Al의 농도가 증가함에 따라 발아율의 급격한 감소를 보였다. 2. 엽록소 함량은 품종간 뚜렷한 차이를 보였고 두 품종 모두 Al의 농도가 증가할수록 함량이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 3. 식물체의 전분과 당함량은 Al 처리시 대조구에 비해 함량이 감소하였다. 4. 식물체의 중금속과 무기성분의 함량은 일품벼에 있어 무처리보다 Al의 농도가 증가함에 따라 Al 600ppm까지는 식물체내의 중금속 축적이 증가하다가 Al 900ppm에서는 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였고, Ca, Mg, Fe 및 Mn의 식물체내의 함량은 두 품종 모두 Al 처리시 무처리에 비해 Al 처리시 급격한 증가를 보였다. 5. 무처리에 있어서는 발아일수별로 proline함량이 차이가 없었으나 Al 처리의 경우 발아후 1일째는 Al의 농도가 증가함에 따라 유리 proline의 함량도 증가하였고 특히 처리 후 3일째에는 급격한 함량의 증가를 보였다.
