양어용수 재순환을 위한 생물여과상의 처리효율을 향상시키기 위하여 전처리로서 오존처리와 고급산화($H_2O_2/O_3$) 처리가 다양한 조건하에서 시도되었다. 오존처리시 암모니아는 일차속도반응식으로 제거되었으며, 중탄산염 알칼리도가 증가할수록 제거효율이 향상되어 200 mg/L as $CaCO_3$에서 약 46%가 제거되었다. 고급산화법($H_2O_2/O_3$)을 적용시 알칼리도를 포함한 폐수의 경우 중탄산염의 저해작용으로 암모니아 제거율이 저조하였으나 0.1 N KOH로 초기 pH를 약 8.2로 맞추어 실험한 결과 암모니아 제거율이 오존처리시보다 향상되었다. 특히, $H_2O_2/O_3=0.25$ 조건하에서 가장 높은 암모니아 제거율을 나타내었으며, pH가 9 이상일 때 반응시간 30분동안 약 90%의 암모니아가 제거되었다. 그러나 유기물과 암모니아가 공존시 오존처리와 고급산화처리 모두 유기물과 산화제와의 빠른 반응으로 인하여 암모니아 제거율이 크게 저하되었으며, 최적 $H_2O_2/O_3$ 비도 변하였다. 암모니아 제거와 마찬가지로 고급산화처리의 경우 입자성유기물의 빠른 분해로 인하여 초기 10분간 DOC(dissolved organic carbon)농도가 증가한 후 서서히 감소하였다. 초기 암모니아 농도를 2배 이상 증가시켜도 유기물 산화에 저해를 주지 못하였다.
Ozonation and advanced oxidation($H_2O_2/O_3$) process were investigated under various experimental conditions to improve the efficiency of biological filter used for the treatment of recycled wastewater from aquaculture. Ammonia removal followed the first-order reaction whose reaction rate constant(k) was $2.0{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ in ozonation. The ammonia removal rate increased according as the bicarbonate alkalinity is increased. About 46% $NH_3$ was oxidized by ozone at 200 mg/L as $CaCO_3$. When alkalinity existed in wastewater, ammonia removal rate by advanced oxidation was very low due to the inhibition effect of bicarbonate. However, when initial pH was adjusted to about 8.2 by 0.1 N KOH, ammonia removal rate was improved higher than that by ozonation. Especially. ammonia removal rate was the highest at $H_2O_2/O_3$ of 0.25 and about 90% of ammonia was removed in 30 min at this ratio as pH was maintained over 9. In the case of wastewater containing ammonia and organic constituents, ammonia removal efficiency by both ozonation and advanced oxidation decreased seriously because organic constituents consumed the oxidant faster than ammonia. In addition the optimal $H_2O_2/O_3$ ratio was changed. Like ammonia removal, DOC(dissolved organic carbon) increased for first 10 min and then decreased slowly because the particulate organic constituents were oxidized rapidly and then produce DOC. Even when the ammonia concentration by twice, oxidation of DOC was not retarded.
