달래의 전처리 방법을 통해 미생물 저감과 품질 유지 효과를 알아보기 위해 물리적인 처리로는 손 세척 1분, 버블 세척, Ultrasonication 처리를 50oC와 60oC의 온도에서 각각 1분, 3분, 5분 동안 세척하였고, 화학적 처리에서는 유기산인 푸마르산과 아세트산 용액 1.5%와 2% 농도에서 각각 1분, 3분, 5분 동안 침지 처리하였다. 미생물과 품질 분석 결과 물리적 처리에서는 버블 세척 3분이 곰팡이 저감에 효과적이었으나 일반세균 저감 효과는 적었고, Ultrasonication 60oC, 5분 처리에서 미생물 저감 효과가 가장 높았으나 색도의 a값이 증가하는 경향을 보여 녹색이 약해졌다. 화학적 처리에서는 acetic acid에 비해서 fumaric acid에서 일반세균과 곰팡이의 저감 효과가 높았으며, fumaric acid 1.5% 용액에서 3분 처리의 저감효과가 가장 높았다. 달래의 미생물 저감 효과가 좋은 버블세척 3분 (B3), fumaric acid 1.5%, 3분 처리(F153), 두 가지 방법을 조합한 병합(BF) 처리를 실시하고 9일 동안 4oC에서 저장하며 품질 특성을 비교해 본 결과, 일반세균보다는 곰팡이 저감에 더 효과적이었으며, 일반세균은 BF가 곰팡이는 F153에서 미생물 감소 효과가 있었다. 색변화에 있어 BF 처리의 ΔE값이 가장 낮았으며, 유기산 처리에서 색변화를 보여 F153에서 녹색이 약해졌다. 최대응집력 변화 알뿌리 보다는 녹색 줄기에서 현격히 나타났는데 저장 9일 차에 F153처리에서 녹색 줄기의 경도가 가장 높게 유지되었고 (P<0.05), 알뿌리 부분은 물리적 방법인 버블 세척 시 6일 차부터 다른 처리에 비해 낮아졌다(P<0.05). 달래의 미생물 저감과 품질의 유지를 고려할 때 전처리 방법으로는 fumaric acid 1.5%용액으로 3분 처리 시 미생물 저감 효과와 색·최대응집력의 특성 유지가 우수하였고, 3일 이내 의 유통기간이라면 병합 처리도 효과적인 방법으로 적용 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the effects of silver treatment and activation on the physical and chemical properties of spherical activated carbon (SAC) were studied. The textural properties of SAC were characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, iodine adsorption, strength intensity, pressure drop and antibacterial effects. BET surface areas of SACs decreased with an increase of the amount of PR before and after activation, and the BET surface areas of SACs were found to be about 2-3 times the size of those before activation. The XRD patterns showed their existing state as stable Ag crystals and carbon structure. The Ag particles are seaweedlike and uniform, being approximately 5-10 μm in size deposited on the surface of activated carbon. All of the samples had much more iodine adsorption capability after activation than before activation. The strength values of SACs increased with an increase of the amount of PR, and there was a smaller drop in the strength values of SACs with silver treatment than with non-silver treatment after activation. The Ag-SAC composites showed strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. Coli).

최근 국제 유가의 상승으로 인한 선박 운용비를 절감하기 위하여 중소형 선박에서도 저질연료유의 사용이 검토되고 있는 추세이다. 이 연구에서는 현재 중소형 선박에서 연료유로 사용중인 경유와 중유MF380을 혼합하여 소형선박에 사용이 가능하도록 제조한 혼합연료유인 MF30 연료유에 대하여 그 물리 화학적 특성을 분석하고 정제처리 및 연료유첨가제 효과에 대해 알아보았다. 연구결과 두 가지 전처리 방식인 원심식청정기와 가열 및 균질 방식(M.C.H)의 효과는 다소 미약하였지만, 유동점과 인화점은 다소 낮아졌다. 연료유첨가제로 인한 개질 효과는 뚜렷이 나타나지 않았다.

Waste water-soluble cutting oil was treated with W1 type #1 and W1 type #2. The properties of the original water-soluble cutting oil were pH=10.4, viscosity=1.4cP, CODcr=44,750 ppm, and TOC=10,569 ppm. However, the properties of the oil used for more than 3 months were changed to pH=7.82, viscosity=2.1cP, CODcr=151,000 ppm, and TOC=74,556 ppm. It might be attributed to the fact that molecular chains were cut due to thermal oxidation and impurities such as metal chips were incorporated in to the oil during the operation processes. To prevent the putrefaction of oil, the sterilization effect of ozone and UV on the microorganism in the oil was investigated. Ozone treatment showed that 99.99% of the microorganism was annihilated with 30 minutes contact time and 60 minutes were necessary for the same effect when UV was used. Ozone treatment could cut molecular chains of the oil due to strong sterilization power, which was evidenced by the increase of TOC from 25,132 ppm at instantaneous contact to 28,888 ppm at 30 minutes contact time. However, UV treatment didn't show severe changes in TOC values and thus, seemed to cause of severe cut of molecular chains. When the activated carbon was used to treat the waste water-soluble cutting oil, TOC decreased to 25,417 ppm with 0.1g carbon and to 15,946 ppm with 5.0g carbon. This results indicated that the waste oil of small molecular chains could be eliminated by adsorption. From the results, it could be concluded that these treatment techniques could be proposed to remove the waste oil of small molecular chains resulting in the degradation of the oil properties. In addition, these experimental results could be used for the correlation with future works such as investigation of the molecular distribution according to the sizes, lengths, and molecular weight of the chains.

The soil from constructed wetland system for sewage treatment was analyzed to examine physical and chemical characteristics. Clogging and lowered permeability were the physical matters of concern, and nutrient and salt accumulation were the chemical matters of concern. However, the soil properties of the constructed wetland system after 3 year operation demonstrated no degradation and still the soil works almost same as the initial stage. Encouragingly, no sludge accumulation was observed inside the system. Therefore, it implies that the wetland sewage treatment system can work continuously as long as it is operated and managed properly not to cause excessive pollutant loading.

This study was conducted to assess the characteristics of pigment wastewater and the removal rates of appropriate treatment by physical, chemical and biological process, and the possibility of reuse for effluent. Based on the results, the wastewater qualities of pigment were pH 5.1±3.4, temperature 43.0±5.0℃ BOD 1,431.4±589.6㎎/ℓ, COD 2,282.8±66.5㎎/ℓ, turbidity 1,340±82ONTU, color 243.0±147.Ounit, Pb 36.5±9.5㎎/ℓ and Cr^+6 10.3±1.3㎎/ℓ, respectively. The removal rates of adsorption by activated carbon and filter process were BOD 40.6%, COD 57.0%, turbidity 89.6%, color 87.2%, Pb 86.0% and Cr^+6 10.6%, respectively. And the removal rates of reduction, neutralization, coagulation and air floatation process were BOD 18.2%, COD 24.3%, turbidity 74.3%, color 56.7%, Pb 68.6% and Cr^+6 97.8%, respectively. The removal rates of activated sludge process were BOD 95.9%, COD 86.0%, turbidity 27.8%, color 25.2%, Pb 26.9% and Cr^+6 50.0%, respectively. The total removal rates of treatment by physical, chemical and biological process were BOD 98.0%, COD 95.4%, turbidity 98.1%, color 95.8%, Pb 97.0% and Cr^+6 99.0%, respectively. According to the test results for possibility of reuse with coagulation-adsorption by activated carbon process of effluent, COD was higher than that of raw water and others were similar to that of raw water, thus, it is considered to be reused.
