The methanol addition was required for the biological treatment of the blast furnace wastewater, of which the C/N ratio was less than 1. We confirmed that SNR and SDNR values were changed by the amount of the methanol addition. But, it needed to consider that the surplus poured methanol could induce the increase of CODcr in the discharge. We confirmed that in spite of the change of SNR values according to the increase of CN- concentration during the operation periods, the nitrification rate of the total process was not influenced by CN- concentration. Also, SNR and SDNR were evaluated to confirm the inhibition of F- concentration. They were not influenced by F- concentration. It was thought that the difference of these values occurred by the operation parameters.

Today, many problems of dye-processing wastewaters were raised due to industry of dyeing and textiles. It is difficult to treat them perfectly because they contain many poorly degradable matters, such as surfactants, ethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, and so on. To improve the performances of conventional physicochemical treatment and activated sludge process, new systems of combining jet-loop reactor (JLR) with physicochemical treatment were developed. Volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) of JLR was significantly larger than that of air-lift reactor. Also, for the effective treatment of dye-processing wastewater, JLR with active carbon supports (JLRAS) were investigated. Removal efficiency of BOD, CODMn, CODCr and color were found as 99, 86, 84, 83%, respectively, when HRT was 8 hrs. And performance of JLRAS was rapidly restored after step change of CODMn loading late. The optimal coagulant and dosage of second physicochemical treatment after JLRAS were polyferric sulfate and 130 mg/L, respectively, when removal efficiencies of CODMn and color were 85 and 73%, respectively. In conclusion, this system enables the reduction of operation cost, and the effective removal of many organics.

본 연구에서는 $CO_2$를 이용한 알칼리폐수의 중화처리 시 jet loop reactor의 적용가능성을 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 연속식 jet loop reactor에서 pH=10.1인 알칼리 폐수의 유입유량($Q_{L,in}=0.9{\sim}6.6L/min$)과 유입가스유량($Q_{G,in}=1{\sim}6L/min$)을 변화시키면서 유출수의 pH 변화 및 $CO_2$ 제거특성을 살펴보았다. 중화반응 후 유출수의 pH는 $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ 비가 1.1일 때는 $Q_{G,in}$ 및 $Q_{L,in}$이 증가하여도 pH가 7.2 정도로 일정하게 유지되었다. 그러나 $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ 비가 1.1 이상에서는 $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ 비가 증가할수록 $CO_2$ 제거효율 및 배출수의 pH가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구범위에서 얻어진 최대 $CO_2$ 제거효율은 98.06%로 $Q_{G,in}=2L/min$, $Q_{L,in}=4L/min$인 조건이었으며, 이때의 유출수 pH는 8.43 이었다.

This paper investigates the feasibility of applying the jet loop reactor for the neutralization of alkaline wastewater using carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). In this study, pH changes and $CO_2$ removal characteristics were examined by changing influent flow rate of alkaline wastewater (initial pH=10.1) and influent $CO_2$ flow rates. Influent flow rates of alkaline wastewater ($Q_{L,in}$) ranged between 0.9 and 6.6 L/min, and inlet gas flow rate ($Q_{G,in}$) of 1 and 6 L/min in a lab-scale continuous flow jet loop reactor. The outlet pH of wastewater was maintained at 7.2 when the ratio ($Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$) of $Q_{L,in}$ and $Q_{G,in}$ was 1.1. However, the $CO_2$ removal efficiency and the outlet pH of wastewater were increased when $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ ratio was higher than 1.1. Throughout the experiments, the maximum $CO_2$ removal efficiency and the outlet pH of wastewater were 98.06% and 8.43 at the condition when $Q_{G,in}$ and $Q_{L,in}$ were 2 L/min and 4 L/min, respectively.

In this study, we tested the absorption of $CO_2$ in combustion gas into an alkaline wastewater to simultaneously control $CO_2$ and wastewater. During the experiment, we investigated the effects of operating parameters on neutralization characteristics of the wastewater by using $CO_2$ in a bench-scale semi-batch jet loop reactor (0.1 m diameter and 1.0 m in height). The operating parameters investigated in the study are gas flow rate of 1.0-2.0 L/min, liquid recirculation flow rate of 4-32 L/min, and liquid temperature of $20-25^{\circ}C$. It was shown that the initial pH of wastewater rapidly decreased with increased gas flow rate for a given liquid recirculation flow rate. This was due to the increase in the gas holdup and the interfacial area at higher gas flow rate in the reactor. At constant gas flow rate, the time required to neutralize the wastewater initial pH of 10.1 decreased with liquid recirculation flow rate ($Q_L$), reached a minimum value in the range of $Q_L$ = 16-24 L/min, and then increased with further increase in $Q_L$. Further, the time required to neutralize the wastewater was shortened at higher temperatures.

In this study, a high performance Bubble Jet Loop Heat Pipe (BJLHP) was developed using the enhanced nucleate boiling surfaces in an evaporating section. A sintered tube and GEWA-T(Wieland) tube were used enhance nucleate boiling. The thermal performance of these BJLHP was compared with the conventional smooth tube BJLHP with an effective thermal conductivity. This experiment was conducted under the following conditions : working fluid, charging ratio and input power of R-141b, 50%vol., 75W and 100W, respectively. As a result, the effective thermal conductivity of BJLHP with a sintered tube in the evaporating section was 300% higher than the smooth tube BJLHP.

Bubble jet loop heat pipe is a newly devised variation of heat pipe in which heat is effectively transported by the latent heat of evaporation and condensation as well as the heat capacity of circulating working fluid. The circulatory and oscillating motion of the working fluid becomes possible by the motion of bubble jet which is generated at a narrow circular gap. These bubbles are condensed at the condensing section. Bubble jet loop heat pipe makes it possible to carry heat long distances upward and horizontal directions. Because Its structure is a very simple and a low cost, it is available for the floor heating, vinyl house heating, the defrosting of heat pump system and home refrigerator.

This study was conducted to determine optimum design parameters in nitrification and denitrfication of chemical fertilizer wastewater using pilot plant, Jet Loop Reactor. The chemical fertilizer wastewater which contains low amounts of organic carbon and has a high nitrogen concentration requires a post-denitrfication system. Organic nitrogen is hydrolyzed above $86\%$, and the concentration of organic nitrogen was influent wastewater 126mg/L and of effluent wastewater 16.4mg/L, respectively. The nitrification above $90\%$ was acquired to TKN volumetric loading below $0.5\;kgTKN/m^3{\cdot}d$, TKN sludge loading below $0.1\;kgTKN/kgVSS{\cdot}d$ and SRT over 8days. The nitrification efficiency was $90\%$ or more and the maximum specific nitrification rate was $184.8\;mgTKN/L{\cdot}hr$. The denitrification rate was above $95\%$ and the concentration of $NO_3-N$ was below 20mg/L. This case was required to $3\;kgCH_3OH/kgNO_3-N$, and the effluent concentration of $NO_3^--N$ was below 20mg/L at $NO_3^--N$ volumetric loading below $0.7\;kgNO_3^--N/m^3{\cdot}d$ and v sludge loading below $0.12\;kgNO_3^-N/kgVSS{\cdot}d$. At this case, the maximum sludge production was $0.83\;kgTS/kgT-N_{re}$ and the specific denitrfication rate was $5.5\;mgNO_3-N/gVSS{\cdot}h$.

산소전달률은 음폐수, 축산폐수 그리고 매립지 침출수와 같은 고농도 폐수처리를 호기성 공정으로 처리할 시 그 성과를 결정하는 아주 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는, Jet Loop Reactor (JLR)를 이용하여 공기유량과 동력량을 운전조건의 변수로 두고 미생물의 농도에 따른 산소소비율(Oxygen uptake rate, OUR)과 물질전달계수(Volumetric mass transfer coefficient, $K_L{\cdot}a$)를 측정하였으며, 산출된 $K_L{\cdot}a$ 값의 결과를 가지고 통계학적인 분석을 통하여 비선형 회귀 모형을 제안하여 보았다. 연구 결과, 미생물 농도를 높게 유지시켜야 하는 고농도 폐수를 적용할 경우에는, 동력량과 공기량은 산소전달률의 중요한 인자이며, 마지막으로 최종 비선형 회귀모형을 동력량과, 공기량 그리고 점성계수의 함수로 나타내보았다.

Oxygen transfer rate generally determines the performance of an aerobic wastewater treatment process that treats high strength wastewater such as food wastewater, animal wastewater and landfill leachate. In this paper, OUR and $K_L{\cdot}a$ were evaluated by using Jet Loop Reactor (JLR) according to the concentration of a mixed liquor volatile suspended solid (MLVSS), oxygen (air) flow rate and energy input as the variable of the operating conditions. Also, a nonlinear regression model was proposed by the statistical methods with the calculated $K_L{\cdot}a$. As a results, in case of applying the high strength wastewater which has to maintain high MLVSS, the energy input and the air flow rate are major parameters oxygen transfer rate in JLR. Finally, the final nonlinear regression model had been developed as a function of E/V, $Q_g$, and ${\mu}_c$.

The Bubble Jet Loop Heat Pipe (BJLHP) is designed to operate in the horizontal orientation. The motion of the bubble generated by boiling working fluid on a heater surface in the evaporating section of the BJLHP helps the working fluid transfer heat to the condensing portion. In this study, we changed the position of the heater in the evaporating section from concentric to eccentric. The concentric heater is located at the center of the tube in the evaporating part, and the eccentric heater is located at the bottom of the inner surface of the same tube. We used R-134a as the working fluid, and the charging ratio was 50%vol. We measured the temperatures of the evaporating and condensing sections by changing the input electric power from 50 W to 200 W, measuring every 50 W. The results of the experiment show that the effective thermal conductivity of BJLHP using an eccentric heater is four times higher than the BJLHP obtained using a concentric heater. Additionally, we conducted a visualization experiment on the evaporating portion of BJLHP to determine why the effective thermal conductivity was higher. The working fluid was water, and we took pictures of the flow visualization for BJLHP. Nucleate boiling with the eccentric heater was more intense and generated more bubbles. Therefore, the eccentric heater was more saturated by the liquefied working fluid.

In order to increase the performance of conventional hot water floor heating system, the bubble jet loop heat pipe for the system was developed. This experiment was conducted under next conditions : Working fluid was R-134a, charging ratio was 50%. A temperature of hot water, room temperature and flow rate were $60^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$ and 0.5~1.5 kg/min, respectively. The experimental results, show that bubble jet loop heat pipe had a high effective thermal conductivity of $4714kW/m^{\circ}C$ and a sufficient heat flux of $73W/m^2$ to heat the floor to $35^{\circ}C$ in case of the 1.5 kg/min of flow rate. So the bubble jet loop heat pipe has a possibility for appling of the floor heating system. Additionally, the visualization of bubble jet loop heat pipe was performed to understand the operating principle. Bubbles made by the narrow gap between inner tube and outer tube of evaporating part generate pulsation at liquid surface of working fluid. The pulsation had slug flow and wavy flow. So working fluid circulates in the bubble jet loop heat pipe as two phase flow pattern. And large amount of heat is transferred by the latent heat from evaporating part to condensing part.

본 연구에서는 합성폐수로부터 암모니아 탈기 시 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기의 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐과 일반 노즐이 장착된 각각의 제트 루프 반응기를 이용하여 조업조건 변화에 따른 암모니아 제거효율과 총괄물질전달계수($K_La$)를 각각 얻은 후, 이를 통해 성능을 비교하였다. 운전변수로는 pH(pH = 10-12), 액체순환유량($Q_L=25-35L\;min^{-1}$), 공기유입량($Q_G=5-20L\;min^{-1}$)을 변화시키며 실험하였다. 실험결과, 동일한 조업조건에서 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐(two-fluid venturi-type swirl nozzle, TVSN)이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기가 이유체 벤츄리형 일반 노즐(two-fluid venturi-type conventional nozzle, TVCN)이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기보다 암모니아 제거효율과 $K_La$가 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 이유체 벤츄리형 선회 노즐이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기에서 형성된 선회류 흐름에 의해 난류강도가 이유체 벤츄리형 일반 노즐이 장착된 제트 루프 반응기에 비해 높기 때문이라 판단된다. 또한, 실험조건 범위에서 $K_La$는 pH, 공기유입량 및 액체순환유량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히, 실험변수 중 공기유입량이 pH나 액체순환유량에 비해 $K_La$에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

We investigated the performance of a jet loop reactor (JLR) with the two-fluid venturi-type swirl nozzle (TVSN) during experiment for ammonia removal by air stripping from a synthetic wastewater, and compared it with that of a JLR with the two-fluid venturi-type conventional nozzle (TVCN), with the variation of pH, liquid circulation rate ($Q_L$), and air flow rate ($Q_G$). Their performance levels were compared based on the ammonia removal efficiency and overall mass transfer coefficient ($K_La$). Investigated parameters in a JLR were pH (10-12), air flow rate ($Q_G=5-20L\;min^{-1}$), and liquid circulation rate ($Q_L=25-35L\;min^{-1}$). Throughout the experiment, the ammonia removal efficiency and $K_La$ in a JLR with TVSN was higher than in a JLR with TVCN. This may be due to the enhanced turbulent intensity by swirling flow formed in the JLR with TVSN compared to that with TVCN. Further, we obtained higher $K_La$ when pH, $Q_L$ and $Q_G$ were increased. In particular, $K_La$ was increased more efficiently by increasing $Q_G$ than by increasing pH and $Q_L$.
