Practical engineering approaches and infrastructure to address the problem of marine debris in Korea

As a solution to the problem of persistent solid marine debris, a nationwide project began in Korea in 1999 to develop and popularize fundamental changes to the infrastructure. The ten year project, called “A Practical Integrated System for Marine Debris,” consists of four linked types of technology: prevention, deep-water survey, removal and treatment (recycling). These reflect the characteristics of marine debris, which though widespread, vary by location and time of generation. Each technical component has each representative outcome that has been outreached the local governments and marine debris-related associations. The in situ infrastructures lead to enhance the retrieval of the marine debris and create direct and indirect benefits to industry. Both end-of-pipe technology improvement and the introduction of front-of-pipe technology should be considered as we strive to reduce the generation of marine debris in Korean coastal areas.     

透壁通风管路堤土体蒸发降温的试验研究

以多年冻土区透壁通风管路堤为研究对象,进行了路堤蒸发降温效果的室内试验,分析了土体水分蒸发对路堤降温效果的影响机制。分析结果表明,路堤通风期间的水分主要通过裸露在管壁小孔的土体表面直接蒸发,其有利于降低路堤温度。暖季空气与管壁的对流换热效应可使路堤土体增温,同时,通过管壁小孔的水分蒸发散热将对路堤产生降温效应,由于融土的未冻水含量较大,使得通过管壁小孔的水分蒸发散热降温作用也较大,这使透壁通风管路堤总体显现出降温效果     

岩石—土壤—植被(红背山麻杆、裸花紫珠)间的元素迁移——以广西巴马岩溶石山地区为例

通过对碳酸盐岩与土壤、碳酸盐岩与红背山麻杆、裸花紫珠及土壤与红背山麻杆、裸花紫珠间的元素相关分析,发现:(1)碳酸盐岩和土壤的元素存在高度的相关关系,从岩石到土壤,元素迁移顺序总体表现为:CaO＞MgO＞Na2O＞P2O5＞MnO＞Pb＞Zr＞Fe2O3＞TiO2＞SiO2＞Al2O3;(2)土壤与两种检测植物的元素也存在较高的相关性,并且两种检测植物还表现出基本相似的土壤元素生物吸收系数,即:红背山麻杆的土壤元素生物吸收系数顺序为:P＞Ca＞Fe＞K＞Na＞Mn＞Pb＞Al＞Mg＞Zr＞Ti＞SiO2,裸花紫珠的为:P＞K＞Fe＞Na＞Ca＞Mn＞Al＞Pb＞Mg＞Zr＞Ti＞SiO2;(3)植物中的常量元素由岩石中的常量元素所决定,在同样的岩性基底上,不同植物体内富集、累积而成的元素结构有着较高的一致性。      

Removal of NO3– from Drinking Water by Electrocoagulation – An Alternate Approach

The present study provides an electrocoagulation method, for the removal of NO₃^– from drinking water using magnesium as the anode and cathode. The experiments are carried out as a function of pH, temperature, and current density. The results show that the maximum removal efficiency of 95.8% was achieved at a current density of 0.25 A/dm², at a pH of 7.0. The adsorption of NO₃^– preferably fitting the Langmuir adsorption isotherm suggests monolayer coverage of the adsorbed molecules. The adsorption process follows a second‐order kinetics model. Thermodynamic studies show that the adsorption was exothermic and spontaneous in nature.     

老卤蒸发—冷却结晶脱镁的研究

采用蒸发—冷却结晶方法,对青海大柴旦盐湖提钾后的老卤进行脱镁试验研究。试验结果表明,一次蒸发温度为125℃时,老卤的镁去除率达到了33%,蒸发冷却后卤水的流动性较好。一次蒸发温度在135℃时,老卤的镁去除率达到了74%以上,但蒸发冷却后的卤水流动性差,过滤性能不佳。二次蒸发采用125℃蒸发后的卤水为原料,没有达到预期效果。     

Asymmetric Delamination and Convective Removal Numerical Modeling: Comparison with Evolutionary Models for the Alboran Sea Region

Convective removal and mantle delamination are geodynamical mechanisms proposed to explain the presence of extension in the Alboran Sea within a regional context of compression. Using a new thermo-mechanical algorithm, we present here a quantitative evaluation and comparison of conceptual models based on these geodynamical mechanisms. In contrast to the in situ convective removal process, the laterally propagating delamination mechanism is shown here to be consistent with first-order features of the Alboran Sea such as the thinning/thickening distribution, intermediate-depth seismicity and upper mantle structure imaged by seismic tomography. The lower crust is predicted to reach depths of 100–150 km in some areas, due to mechanically-driven viscous drag of the downwelling mantle.

Design and Development of Onsite Biofilter Unit for Effective Remediation of Contaminants from Wastewater

Agricultural biomass is proven ecofriendly and effective adsorbent for the remediation of contaminants from wastewater. Here, rice husk biochar (600 °C) prepared by a one-step pyrolysis method is used for the remediation of different contaminants in real samples. An onsite biofilter unit is fabricated with parallel trenches of different layers of coconut coir and biochar and is used as a biofiltration unit. The efficiency of the designed unit is assessed for the removal of different contaminants in pilot-scale experiments. Results show that removal efficiency varies from metal to metal and ranges from 5.52% to 90.76% using the biofilter unit. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis before and after the adsorption represent the changes in the morphology and surface functionalization of the biochar. Results indicate that the designed biofilter unit could also be used as a promising agent for the remediation of pharmaceutical and other emerging contaminants from wastewater.     

Comparison of Treatment Efficiency and Energy Consumption of Batch and Continuous Electrocoagulation in Urban Wastewater

In this study, domestic wastewater was used as the electrolyte. The work was carried out with an up-flow tubular reactor, made of stainless steel that was used as cathode, while the anode electrode material was aluminum and varying values of flow regime (25, 50, 75 and 100 mL/s for continuous system), initial pH value (5, 6, 7 and 7.8) and current intensity (10, 15 and 20 A) were applied. For domestic wastewater with natural pH, the effluent pH was >9 in the batch system, while in the continuous system the pH was 8–8.5. Likewise, while the effluent temperature was up to 60°C in the batch system, it was at most 35°C in the continuous system. However, the energy consumption values in the continuous system were considerably lower compared with the batch system. At a current intensity of 10 A, 80 kWh of energy per unit volume was consumed in the batch system, while it was 50 kWh for the continuous system. The present results show that the batch system can be used for small wastewater streams whereas the continuous system can be used for large wastewater streams for domestic wastewater treatment.
