Abstract

Transport of nitrous oxide and treated waste water was investigated in an estuary receiving treated waste water. Seasonal change of water quality were also observed to assure origins of $N_2O$ and to estimate the influence of treated waste water on $N_2O$ production in the survey area. Based on nitrous oxide concentration profiles in the survey area, discharged treated waste water were traced, which flowed upstream at the flood tide and downstream at the ebb tide with concentration maxima. It is assumed that nitrous oxide discharged from treated waste water is transported to the survey area with partial and vertical mixture. To determine the production of $N_2O$ in survey area, flux at each sampling sites were calculated and 25% of the produced $N_2O$ was originated from treated waste water in result. The remaining percentage of the production was also assumed to be the discharge from the sediment layers.

본 연구는 부영양화되어 있는 하구감조역에서의 $N_2O$생성과 거동을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 도시역에서의 N2O발생에 착안하여 그 중에서도 인위적 임팩트가 크다고 판단되는 하수처리수 생활폐수 등이 유입되는 도시하천감조역을 대상으로 현지 정점조사를 실시하여 수역의 사계절에 걸친 각 질소성분의 농도변화와 flux를 상세히 파악하고 저질간극수 중의 연직분포를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 완혼합이고 염수쐐기설(楔)가 형성되는 Tatara천(川)에서 하수처리수는 해수의 혼합형태의 영향을 크게 받고 고농도수괴(水塊)로서 표층을 이동하고 있으며, 이 수역의 질소변환기구 및 $N_2O$생성과정에 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이 수역에서 관측된 $N_2O$농도는 1.8-20.9 $\mu M$로서 대기중의 포화농도와 담수중의 포화농도를 고려하면 항상 포화농도상태이며, 주발생원은 수역저토였다. 저질간극수 중의 각 질소성분의 농도분포는 호소와 인근해역에서의 분포와는 달리 분자확산 이외의 수송경로가 있다는 것이 시사되었다.
