Linear interpolation and mean method were used as the missing value handling technique. The experiment was conducted by dividing the data into train and test data according to the optimal ratio. Various single models were used, and the prediction performance of the model was compared and evaluated using coefficient of determination (R2).Results and Discussion:The gated recurrent unit (GRU) model was the best among the single models.

To define the firing temperature of the tubular media, the microstructure and the adsorption equilibrium characterized the thermal stability of halloysite and magnesium silicateResults and Discussion : The magnesium silicate used in this study shows broad peaks in x-ray diffraction; however, the treatment of 750℃ induces its crystallization. The specific surface area of the magnesium silicate is also gradually decreased along with the firing temperature increase. No significant degradation in methylene blue adsorption capacity for magnesium silicate is observed until 500℃-treatment. However, the higher firing temperature reduces the capacity: 6.9%P, 27.3%P, and 91.2%P decrease for 600℃, 700℃, and 750℃, respectively. Regardless of heat treatment, the Langmuir isotherm equation represents the adsorption equilibria well compared to the Freundlich model. The tubular media of the halloysite – 30 wt% of magnesium silicate fired at 600℃ exhibits a high specific surface area of 115 m2 g-1 and a relative porosity of 43.5%. Compared to the halloysite-only tubular media, the adsorption capacity of the composites is significantly improved with the incorporation of magnesium silicate. The adsorption capacity of 168h for methylene blue is more than tripled, 29.8 mg g-1, and the adsorption capacity of Cr(III), Cu(II), and Zn(II) is also greatly enhanced by more than 4.8 times.Conclusion : The thermal stability of magnesium silicate is investigated for use as an additive adsorbent in terms of the microstructure and the adsorption capacity. Even at 600℃ of the firing temperature, magnesium silicate shows a higher specific surface area and higher adsorption capacity of MB compared to those of the halloysite; the adsorption fits well into Langmuir behavior. The addition of magnesium silicate into the halloysite media significantly enhances its adsorption capacity for MB and heavy metal ions such as Cr(III), Cu(II), and Zn(II).","PeriodicalId":52756,"journal":{"name":"daehanhwangyeonggonghaghoeji","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49492995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods:Five NOM samples were characterized: Suwannee River NOM(SRNOM), Mississippi River NOM(MRNOM), Nakdong River NOM(NR), NOM in effluent of Jinhae wastewater treatment plant(WP), and NOM in a small stream(SG) in Changwon city. The various analytical instruments were used including TOC analyzer, UV spectrometer, fluorescence spectrometer, and size-exclusion chromatography.

In this study, a stainless steel filter was used for the sampling of microplastics and SOs species.Results and Discussion:In 2019, the average concentration of SOs in the atmosphere of Gwangju City was 0.24 (± 0.56) µg/m3, and in 2020, the average concentration of SOs in Gwangju City was 0.10 (± 0.16)µg/m3. Those average concentration in Jeju Island in 2020 was monitored to be 0.11 (± 0.07) µg/m3. Moreover, the concentration of microplastics present in the atmosphere of Gwangju City and Jeju Island in 2020 ranged from 0.13 particles/m3 to 1.13 particles/m3. In this time, 9 types of microplastics were detected, and the most frequently detected microplastics were polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and acrylate materials. The monitored microplastic shapes were both fibers and fragments, suggesting that atmospheric microplastics are mainly released from fibers or caused by friction and breakage. Consequently, SOs and microplastics can be new pollution indicators for evaluating air quality.

It is located at the end of the basin, so complex and various pollutants flow in from a wide basin, and it has a characteristic of longer retention and greater accumulation for a long time in the lake. Since the continuous inflow and accumulation of non-point pollution sources for agricultural purpose occurred due to the repeated reuse of agricultural water near freshwater lakes, and the complex water use and occurred drainage structure, water pollution is aggravating. In this study, the main pollution sources of large-scale freshwater lakes were derived through multivariate statistical analysis using various water quality factors for efficient freshwater lake management. The analysis is performed out to predict the future Chlorophyll-a(Chl-a) and to identify major factors affecting algal growth, and to use them as establish effective countermeasures to improve water quality based on the characteristics of freshwater lakes algal growth the future.Methods:In the case of GanWol(GW), GeumGang(GG), GeumHO(GeH), NamYang(NY), DaeHo(DH), BuNam(BN), SapGyo(SG), ASan(AS), YoungSan(YS), YoungAm(YA) in the water environment information system operated by the Ministry of Environment, water quality data on a monthly basis for 10 years from January, 2011 to December, 2020 were collected from three point measurement located in the lake.

Through this experiment, various design factors to be considered can be derived in application of foam glass media in the rain garden.Methods:Sieve analysis and SEM/EDS analysis were conducted to confirm the physicochemical properties of the foam glass. Column experiments filled with only foam glass and mixtures of sand and foam glass were conducted to simulate rain garden to evaluate the removal efficiency of suspended solids and turbidity using the foam glass media, head difference (Δh) and hydraulic conductivity (K) changes, and calculation of filtered suspended solids loading using both discrete and cumulative mass approach. Finally, comparison of filtration performance with various filter media used in LID facilities was performed to evaluate the feasibility of foam glass media in rain garden.Results and Discussion:Since foam glass media has a lower density than water, homogeneous particle size, and smooth surface with pores of various sizes, foam glass media effectively induces internal capture and external adsorption of suspended solids. Foam glass media has been applied to high suspended solids and turbidity removal efficiency. As the suspended solids inflow load increased, clogging occurred in the pores and the removal efficiency gradually decreased, but the foam glass media with lower density than water was continuously disturbed and rearranged due to the head difference energy, and some clogging were alleviated by rearrangement of pores and channels. The load of suspended solids in precipitated, adsorbed, and retained on the foam glass was calculated using the effluent sample (discrete) collected at regular time intervals and the continuously accumulated sample (cumulative) from the output. The filtered suspended solids load calculated using the cumulative mass approach was higher due to the estimation of the amounts of suspended solids remaining in the filtration column is lower because the samples (discrete) collected at regular time intervals from the output do not reflect the amount of suspended solids that change over time. Thus, the amounts of suspended solids removed through the filtration process can be much more accurately estimated using the cumulative samples. Finally, when comparing the removal efficiency with other filter media, foam glass can be used as excellent filter media with higher removal efficiency and greater lifespan.Conclusion:Foam glass media with smooth surface, pores of various sizes, and lower density than water can rearrange and regenerate pores to alleviate some clogging, resulting in high suspended solids and turbidity removal efficiency for a long period of time.
