Desalination Technology in South Korea: A Comprehensive Review of Technology Trends and Future Outlook
Abstract:
Due to advances in desalination technology, desalination has been considered as a practical method to meet the increasing global fresh water demand. This paper explores the status of the desalination industry and research work in South Korea. Desalination plant designs, statistics, and
the roadmap for desalination research were analyzed. To reduce energy consumption in desalination, seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) has been intensively investigated. Recently, alternative desalination technologies, including forward osmosis, pressure-retarded osmosis, membrane distillation, capacitive deionization, renewable-energy-powered desalination, and desalination batteries have also been actively studied. Related major consortium-based desalination research projects and their pilot plants suggest insights into lowering the energy consumption of desalination and mitigation of the environmental impact of SWRO brine as well. Finally, considerations concerning further development are suggested based on the current status of desalination technology in South Korea.

Removal Of Polar Organic Micropollutants By Pilot-Scale Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Treatment
Abstract : The robustness of reverse osmosis (RO) against polar organic micropollutants (MPs) was investigated in
pilot-scale drinking water treatment. Experiments were carried in hypoxic conditions to treat a raw anaerobic riverbank filtrate spiked with a mixture of thirty model compounds. The chemicals were selected from scientific literature data based on their relevance for the quality of freshwater systems, RO permeate and drinking water. MPs passage and the influence of permeate flux were evaluated with a typical low-pressure RO membrane and quantified by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. A strong inverse correlation between size and passage of neutral hydrophilic compounds was observed. This correlation was weaker for moderately hydrophobic MPs. Anionic MPs displayed nearly no passage due to electrostatic repulsion with the negatively charged membrane surface,
whereas breakthrough of small cationic MPs could be observed. The passage figures observed for the investigated set of MPs ranged from less than 1%e25%. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between physicochemical properties and passage. The effects of permeate flux were more pronounced for small neutral MPs, which displayed a higher passage after a pressure drop.

Overview Of The Main Disinfection Processes For Wastewater And Drinking water Treatment Plants
Abstract: The use of water disinfection as a public health measure reduces the spread of diseases. Various disinfection technologies can be used to meet the pathogen inactivation demand in water. This work is an overview of the main disinfection technologies of wastewater and drinking water that reports for the conventional processes the action mechanism, the possible formation of by-products, the operative conditions, the advantages and disadvantages. For advanced and natural processes the action mechanisms are reported. Advanced technologies are interesting but are still in the research state, while conventional technologies are the most used. There is a tendency, especially in Italy, to use chlorine-based disinfectant, despite in some forms could lead to production of disinfection by-products.

Correlation Between BOD5 and COD for Al- Diwaniyah Wastewater Treatment Plants to Obtain The Biodigrability Indices
ABSTRACT
The present study aims to establish an empirical correlation between biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the sewage flowing in Al-Diwaniyah wastewater treatment plant. The strength of the wastewater entering the plant varied from medium to high. High concentrations of BOD5 and COD in the effluent were obtained due to the poor performance of the plant. This was observed from the BOD5 /COD ratios that did not confirm with the typical ratios for the treated sewage. Regression equations for BOD5 and COD removal percentages were suggested which can be used to evaluate rapid effluent assessment after the treatment processes or optimal process control to improve the performance of wastewater treatment plants. The average Biodegradability indices (B.I) of Al-Diwaniyah wastewater plants was found to be 0.69. The equations relating the percentage removal of BOD5(y) with influent BOD5(x), y= 0.044x + 80.66 and the percentage removal of COD (y) with influent COD (x), y= 0.045x + 55.15 were found with high correlation R2 =0.72 and 0.86 respectively. Keywords: BOD5, COD, BOD5/COD ratio, Biodegradability indices, BOD5 and COD correlations

Engineered Nanomaterials for Water Treatment and Remediation
Water is one of the world’s most abundant resources, but less than 1% of the global supply of water is available and safe for human consumption [1]. According to the World Health Organization, over 760 million people were without adequate drinking water supply in 2011 [2]. Where it is available, the cost of potable water is rising due to increasing energy costs, growing populations, and climatic or other environmental issues [1,3]. In addition, an increasing number of drinking water sources are showing evidence of contamination, especially by emerging pollutants like pharmaceuticals and personal care products [4,5]. Many traditional water and wastewater treatment methods do not effectively remove these emerging contaminants, and/or are not capable of removing enough to meet increasingly stringent water quality standards [5,6]. Contamination of surface waters also constitutes a risk to water supplies because pollutants may penetrate into aquifers, where they can be transported to drinking water sources.

Determination of Optimal Operating Condition in Nanofiltration (NF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) During The Treatment of a Tannery Wastewater Stream
Introduction
Industrial wastewater treatment, such as those used for tannery wastewater, is complex due to the variety of chemicals added at different stages of processing of hides and skins. Major problems in tanneries are due to wastewater containing heavy metals, toxic chemicals, chloride, lime with high dissolved and suspended salts and other pollutants (Uberoi, 2003). The tanning process and the effluents generated have already been reported in literature (Wiegant et al., 1999, Sreeram and Ramasami, 2003, Stoop, 2003). Many conventional processes were carried out to treat wastewater such as biological process (Ahn et al., 1996, Vijayaraghavan and Murthy, 1997, Wiemann et al., 1998, Di Iaconi et al., 2003, Farabegoli et al., 2004), oxidation process (Sekaran et al., 1996, Dogruel et al., 2004, Sacco et al., 2012, de Caprariis et al., 2012) and chemical process (Di Iaconi et al., 2001, Orhon et al., 1998, Song et al., 2004) etc. Among these, physical and chemical methods are considered very expensive in terms of energy and reagents consumption (Churchley, 1994, Stern et al., 2003), and generation of excessive sludge (Chu, 2001). To reduce the production of sludge by the treatment of this wastewater combined or alternative systems must be explored. In particular, in this work, two spiral wound membrane modules were used: nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO). The goal of this approach is to insert membranes into the cycle of wastewater treatment in order to remove the entire chain of biological treatment and the resulting post physico[1]chemical residue with a significant reduction of sludge up to 95%. A modified version of the traditional method used to measure critical fluxes of membranes, that is the pressure cycling method, was applied to measure both the critical and the threshold flux on the nanofiltration membrane in order to optimize the operating conditions. Once obtained the critical and threshold flux values, this data was used as input for a batch membrane process optimization method developed previously by Stoller at al. (Stoller and Chianese, 2006, Stoller and Bravi, 2010, Stoller, 2009, Iaquinta et al., 2009, Stoller, 2008, Stoller, 2011). The output of the method indicates the optimal permeate feed flow rate which should be used during the batch in order to inhibit membrane fouling. Finally, the obtained results were compared from an economical point of view with a conventional biological process to validate the membrane plant as possible alternative to conventional process.
