Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane has high resistance to chlorine, which is a great advantages in chemical cleaning to recover water flux during membrane processes in drinking water systems. A humic kaolin water with approximately 4 mg/L of DOC and 10 NTU of turbidity was prepared as a feed water. Coagulation pretreatment with or without settling was applied. The coagulation with settling showed the greatest water production. The reduced flux was effectively recovered by NaOCl cleaning, i.e., 21% recovery by 50 mg/L of NaOCl cleaning and 49% recovery by 500 mg/L NaOCl cleaning. The images of SEM and AFM analyses were corresponded to the water flux variation. However, when the floc was accumulated on the membrane surfaces, the efficiency of NaOCl cleaning was substantially limited. In addition, dynamic contact angle became greater after cleaning, which indicates changes in characteristics of fouling layer such as surface hydrophobicity. Proper cleaning technologies during enhanced backwash using NaOCl would expand application of PTFE membranes in drinking water systems.

This study examined a feasibility of coagulation as post-treatment to remove sulfide and phosphorus for the effluent of anaerobic fluidized bed reactor (AFBR) treating domestic wastewater. Removal efficiencies of sulfide, phosphorus and COD by coagulation were not affected by pH in the range of 5.9 to 7.2. Alkalinity requirement could be estimated by the amount of Fe3+ to form Fe(OH)3(S) and to remove sulfide and phosphorus. At coagulant aid dosage of 2 mg/L, anionic polymer showed best results regarding size and settleability of flocs. Sulfide removal for the AFBR effluent at the Fe3+/S2- ratio of 0.64, close to the theoretical value of 0.67 found with a synthetic wastewater, was only 75.2%. One of the reasons for this low sulfide removal is that the AFBR effluent contains, phosphorus, hydroxide and bicarbonate which can react with Fe3+ competitively. Concentrations of sulfide and phosphorous reduced to below 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L, respectively, at the Fe3+/S2- ratio of 2.0. Average effluent COD of 80 mg/L, mostly soluble COD, was obtained at the dosage 50 mg Fe3+/L (Fe3+/S2- ratio of 2.0) with corresponding COD removal of 55%. For better removal of COD, soluble COD removal at the AFBR should be enhanced. Coagulation with Fe3+ removed sulfide, phosphorus and COD simultaneously in the AFBR effluent, and thus could be an alternative process for the conventional wastewater treatment processes where relatively high quality effluent is not required.

A coagulation-flocculation (CF) process using aluminum sulfate as a coagulant was employed to treat highly suspended solids in tunnel wastewater. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a Box-Behnken design was applied to evaluate the effects of three factors (coagulant dosage, pH and temperature) on total suspended solids (TSS) removal efficiency as well as to identify optimal values of those factors to maximize removal of TSS. Optimal conditions of coagulant dosage and pH for maximum TSS removal changed depending on the temperature (4 ~ 24°C). As temperature increased, the amount of coagulant dosage and pH level decreased for maximum TSS removal efficiency during the CF process. Proper adjustment of optimal pH and coagulant dosage to accommodate temperature fluctuations can improve TSS removal performance of the CF process.

This study was conducted to establish optimum conditions for coagulation of konjac jelly as well as antimicrobial activity by concentration of Ca(OH)2. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of konjac jelly increased according to concentration of konjac powder, the key material of konjac jelly. The highest sensory evaluation score was acquired with konjac jelly made with 3% konjac powder. A Ca(OH)2 concentration of 0.4-0.6% as a coagulation agent was optimum for coagulation of konjac jelly. Further, sensory score was highest at a Ca(OH)2 concentration of 0.6%. All populations of bacteria, yeast, and mold in konjac jelly were restrained by Ca(OH)2 in a concentration- dependent manner. Furthermore, all tested microorganisms were strictly restrained at 1.0×10−2 N of Ca(OH)2.

A new model and resultant equation for the coagulation of acrylonitrile monomers in precipitation polymerization are suggested in consideration of the surface tension (γ) and cohesive energy density (ECED). The equation was proven to be quite favorable by considering figure fittings from known surface tensions and cohesive energy densities of certain organic solvents. The relationship between scale value of surface tension (γ/M) and cohesive energy density of monomers can be obtained by changing the coagulation bath component for effective precipitation polymerization of acrylonitrile in wet spinning.

본 연구에서는 응고조와 도프조성에 따른 투과특성을 알아보기 위해 첨가제로 PEG, PVP를 사용하였고, 상전이법을 이용하여 PSf 평막을 제조하였다. 고분자의 농도, 첨가제의 농도 그리고 응고조의 조성을 달리하여 제막하였다. 평막의 모폴로지와 수투과도를 각각 FE-SEM과 수투과 테스트 장치를 이용하여 측정하였다. 가장 높은 수투과도(986 L/mh)는 PSf 15 wt%, PEG 25 wt% 그리고 응고조로 물이 사용되었을 경우 나타났다. PSf/PEG조성일때 응고조에 DMAc의 함량이 증가할수록 순수투과도는 급격히 감소하였다. 그러한 결과 첨가제의 함량과 응고조의 조성의 변화가 모폴로지와 수투과 특성에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 Y 정수장의 세라믹 정밀여과막 공정을 위한 최적의 응집 조건을 도출하고자 수행되었다. 쟈테스트 결과 Y댐 원수의 pH를 7로 조정 시 응집효율이 가장 우수하였으며, 원수 탁도가 10 NTU 이하인 평상시 탁도 조건하에서 최적 응집제 주입량은 3 mg/L (as Al2O3)인 것으로 나타났다. 최적 응집제를 선정하기 위하여 응집제 종류(PAC, PACS (II), PAHCS)별로 미니모듈 실험장치를 이용하여 평가한 결과 PAC를 주입하고 원수 pH를 7로 조정한 경우 비여과유속 감소율이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 원수 탁도를 10~150 NTU로 변화시키며 미니모듈에서 비여과유속 감소율을 평가한 결과 원수탁도 10~30 NTU 조건에서는 응집제 주입량 증가에 따라 비여과유속 감소율이 크게 감소하였으나 원수탁도가 50 NTU 이상에서는 응집제 주입량을 증가시켜도 비여과유속 감소율에 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 Y 정수장을 위해서 는 원수탁도 10 NTU 이하에서는 PAC (11% as Al2O3) 30 mg/L, 10~50 NTU에서는 30~50 mg/L, 50 NTU 이상에서는 50 mg/L이 적절하다.

아크릴 폐수를 응집-여과-중화의 전처리 공정에 적용하여 막오염 인자를 최소화 한 후 UF/RO 공정에 적용하였다. 막의 형태 및 종류에 따라 한외여과 및 역삼투 모듈을 조합을 이루어 전처리 수를 온도 및 압력변화에 따라 적용하여 분리 특성을 고찰하였다. 투과 플럭스는 모듈 set 1의 UF모듈보다 모듈 set 4의 UF모듈의 투과량이 약 2~3배 더 많이 배출됨을 확인하였다. 최종적인 투과량은 관형모듈과 조합을 이룬 모듈 set 2와 모듈 set 3이 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 모든 UF 모듈에서 TDS, T-N 및 COD의 제거 효율은 온도 및 압력변화에 영향을 받지 않고 제거 효율 또한 낮음을 알 수 있었다. RO모듈에서 TDS, T-N 및 COD가 우수한 제거 효율을 보였다. 아크릴 폐수의 최종적인 수질결과는 공장폐수의 배출 허용기준을 만족하였고, 막모듈 조합은 폐수의 재활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The influences of fluorescence, scattering, and flocculation in turbid material by light scattering were interpreted for the scattered fluorescence intensity and wavelength, it has been studied the molecular properties by the spectroscopy of laser induced fluorescence (LIF). The effects of optical properties in scattering media have been found by the optical parameters(μs, μa, μt). Flocculation is an important step in many solid-liquid separation processes and is widely used. When two particles approach each other, interactions of several colloid particles can come into play which may have major effect on the flocculation and LIF process, The value of scattering coefficient μs is large by means of the increasing particles of scatterer it has been found that the slope decays exponentially as a function of distance from laser source to detector. It may also aid in designing the best model for oil chemistry, biopharmaceutical products, laser medicine and application of medical engineering on LIF and coagulation in particle transport mode.

An improving example for traditional rapid mix system was studied in the base of mechanisms of alum coagulation. Local status of the major water treatment plants was also investigated and evaluated for upgrading these plants. A new design and operating criterium for rapid mix system was proposed to velocity gradient, G of $1,000-1,500sec^{-1}$ and detention time, t of 1 sec from the results of experiments and literature reviews. Comparing the present rapid mix system to this criterium, apparent difference existed between them. In this study, for improving Seongnam water treatment plant, a design criterium of velocity gradient, and detention time was set to $1,100sec^{-1}$, 1 sec, respectively. A new rapid mix system adopted the nozzle injection countcurrently cross the inlet pipe to the whole area. The injection velocity was 17m/s, nozzle diameter was 1.0mm, and number of nozzle was 70. The new modified system without running present four 75 HP agitators was able to improve water quality(based on sedimentation effluent) by 15-35% and to reduce electrical energy by 98%.

The mean velocity gradient, G, has been used as a principal design and operation parameter for flocculation unit. This paper questions that significance. The physical and qualitative meaning of collision efficiency factors of each transport mechanism (Brownian motion, fluid shear, and differential sedimentation) are reviewed. The overall collision frequency function is calculated by summing up the collision frequency function of each mechanism. In the collision of two particles of different size, a diagram showing the dominant region in which each mechanism is important is developed and the meaning of the diagram is discussed. The primary ramification of this curvilinear, heterodisperse approach is that G is found to be not nearly so important. Previous experimental work in which the role of G has been examined is reviewed in light of this finding.

Various humic substances are widely distributed in natural water body, such as rivers and lakes and cause the yellowish or brownish color to water. The evidence that humic substances are precursors of THMs formation in chlorinated drinking water has been reported m the Jiteratures. For the reason of public health as well as aesthetics, needs for humic substances removal have been increased in the conventional water treatment processes. In this research, the characteristics of aluminium coagulation of humic acids and humic acids were investigated. The optimum pH and coagulants dosage to remove these materials simultaneously by coagulation were alto studied. The results are as followed; 1. UV-254 absorptiometry for measuring the concentration of aquatic humic acids showed good applicability and stable results. 2. The optimal pH range for humic acids removal by aluminium coagulation was 5 to 5.5, however, an increase in aluminium coagulant dosage could enhance the removal rate of humic acids in the wide pH range. 3. Coprecipitation of humic acids in the typical pH range of 6.5 to 8 in water treatment processes may require the sweep coagulation mechanism with the excess aluminium coagulant dosage. 4. Using PAC(poly aluminium chloride) or PASS(poly aluminium silica sulfate) as coagulants was able to expand the operating range for removing humic acids. 5. From the coagulation of humic substances(UV-254) and turbidity at pH range of 5.5 - 6.0 and alum dose of 86 ppm, the removal efficiency of turbidity from the reservoir water was above 90% and that of UV-254 was above 70%. 6. By using the reservoir water, the optimum condition of rapid mixing for simultaneous removal of turbidity and UV-254 absorbance was pH of 5.8 and LAS dose of 86 ppm, in this study.

The kinetics of flocculation of heterodisperse suspension like those in water treatment plants and natural water system are usually described by the Smoluchowski equation, which incorporates collision frequency functions for particle collisions by Brownian motion, fluid shear, and differential sedimentation. These collisionfrequeney functions have been based on a rectilinear view of collisions, i.e., one that ignores short-range forces and changes in fluid motion as particles approach one another. In this research, a curvilinear approach, i.e., one that accounts for hydrodynamic forces and particle interaction in the collision of two different size particles is developed. Collision efficiency factors of each mechanism can be calculated by trajectory analysis (fluid shear and differential sedimentation) or the solution of diffusion equation (Brownian motion). The results are presented as a set of corrections to the rectilinear collision frequency functions for each mechanism.

활성화시킨 Succinylaminopropyl glass beads에 glutaraldehyde을 사용하여 고정화시킨 Mucor spp L42 응유효소를 치즈 커드 형성과정에 이용하고져 고정화 효소의 안정성, 재이용성, 반응의 조건, 반응조의 형태등에 대하여 탈지유(pH 5.6, )를 사용하여 반응시킨후 항온수조내에서 커드의 형성 상태를 조사하였던바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 고정화 Mucor spp L42 응유효소를 0.2M phosphate buffer(pH 4.6)에 0.06% sodium azide을 첨가한 액에 침지한 상태로 이하에서 보존할 경우 3개월 후에도 활력의 80%가 유지되었다. 2) 고정화 Mucor spp L42 응유효소를 탈지유(pH 5.6, )로 반응시켰을때 반응 초기에는 고정화 효소의 활력이 급격히 감소하였고, 이것은 bead에 결합되는 질소화합물과 효소의 활력간에 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 고정화 Mucor spp L42 응유효소에 bead와 탈지유의 접촉시간을 60 sec/ml로 하여 탈지유(pH 5.6, )로 연속적으로 반응시켰을때 6시간 이후에도 bead의 활력의 70%가 유지할 수 있었다. 4) Fluidized bed와 shaking fluidized bed을 사용하는 것이 충진반응조 보다 탈지유의 반응속도가 높았다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of garlic diet on blood coagulation in cholesterol-fed rats. 36 male rats were divided into six groups and fed experimental diet for three weeks. Two-levels (2% and 4%) of fresh and boiled garlic were supplemented to the stock diet with 2% cholesterol and 0.25% bile salt for the experimental diet. After the rats fed with experimental diets during 3 weeks, the whole blood coagulation time, the content of plasma fibrinogen, the fibrinolytic activity and the prothrombin time were measured. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Garlic diet have no influence on body weight and food consumption in rats. 2. In the case of cholesterol-fed group, the whole blood coagulation time was decreased 24.3% compared with the normal group(A). But garlic diet group(C) was similar to the normal group(A) and groupD-F was increased 4.9-11.5%. 3. The content of plasma fibrinogen of cholesterol-fed group was higher 114.5% than that of normal gropu(A). In the garlic diets(C-F) the contents of plasma fibrinogen were increased 33.1-63.8%. 4. The fibrinolytic activity of cholesterol diet was decreased 16.2% compared with the normal group(A) but was increased 10.9-44.5% compared to the garlic diets(C-F). 5. The prothrombin time of cholesterol-fed group was decreased 8.9% compared with normal group(A) but was increased 8.0-46.3% in garlic diets(C-F). As mentioned above, the garlic diets increased whole blood coagulation time, prothrombin time and fibrinolytic activity and decreased the content of fibrinogen. For that reason it is thought that the garlic diets have a anticoagulation effect regulating the fibrinogen synthesis in liver.

Effects of garlic on hypocholesterolemia, anticoagulation and hypoglycemia were studied in the present experiments using male rats. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The supplementation of 2~4% garlic to 2% cholesterol diets did not affect food intake and weight gain in male rats. 2. Rat's groups fed the diets supplemented with 2~3% garlic (C.D.E.F) to 2% cholesterol diet (B) decreased serum total cholesterol levels by 16~32%, triglyceride levels by 18.6~26.8% and β/α-lipoportein rations by 42~58%, but increased HDL-cholesterol levels by 29~65% as compared to B group, and so the author assumes that garlic supplementation exerts hypocholesterolemic effect on cholesterol - fed rats because of the increase of HDL and HDL - cholesterol levels. 3. Rat's groups fed the diets supplemented with 2~4% garlic (C.D.E.F) to 2% cholesterol plus 0.25% bile salt diet (B) increased whole blood coagulation times, prothrombin times and fibrinolytic activities, but decreased plasma fibrinogen levels as compared to B group, and so the author assumes that garlic supplementation exerts anticoagulative effect because of the inhibition of fibrinogen synthesis in male rat's liver. 4. Rat's groups fed the diets supplemented with 2~4% garlic (B.C.D.E) to standard diet (A) decreased serum glucose levels by 1~24%, but increased serum insulin concentrations by 0.5~3.0 times as compared to A group, and so the author assumes that garlic supplementation exerts hypoglycemic effect because of the increase of serum insulin levels by stimulation pancreatic secretion of insulin from β-cells in the islets of Langerhans.
