Disclosed herein are a humidifying apparatus which may be prevented from being contaminated. A humidifying apparatus comprises a water tank configured to store water, a filter assembly configured to filter the water stored in the water tank and a humidifying assembly configured to perform humidification by absorbing and vaporizing the water filtered by the filter assembly, a drain flow passage provided at a lower surface of the humidifying assembly, wherein residual water remaining after being absorbed in the humidifying assembly is recovered in the water tank via the drain flow passage, and a guide rib configured to guide the water recovered in the water tank is provided in the water tank.

Humidifying apparatus

A water softening apparatus having an improved structure to provide a function of an air brake, a dishwasher including the same and a control method thereof, the water softening apparatus having an air brake assembly and a regeneration tank and configured to soften wash water being supplied from a tub, wherein the air brake assembly including a water supply valve allowing wash water to be introduced therethrough, an ion exchange tank to accommodate an ion exchange resin therein, and a plurality of valves installed on a first path allowing wash water being introduced through the water supply valve to flow toward the ion exchange tank, wherein the regeneration tank is connected to the air brake assembly and accommodates regeneration material configured to purify the ion exchange resin.

Water softening apparatus, dishwasher having the same and control method thereof

An evaporative humidifier including a water bucket, a tub configured to accommodate water introduced from the water bucket, a humidifying element configured to execute humidification by receiving the water accommodated in the tub and evaporating the received water, and an ultraviolet ray emitting part provided on the tub to emit ultraviolet rays to the tub.

Evaporative humidifier and control method thereof

The present invention relates to a novel microbial strain,sp. SN2 (KCTC11700BP) having an activity for degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), a bioremediation process of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminants, comprising contacting a microbial strainsp. with PAH, and a composition for purifying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminants, comprising a microbial strainsp. It is advantageous that the present invention may be suitably utilized in treatment or remediation of oil contaminants, particularly naphthalene soil contaminants without production of a secondary contaminant source. As the strain and bioremediation process of this invention could be industrially utilized through low-cost and environment-friendly process, the present technology also may be carried out much more economically and efficiently than conventional technologies such as thermal technology, solidification technology, and vapor extraction technology.
