Abstract

A phytoplankton cultivation system was installed and operated for removal of nutrients from stream water polluted by nonpoint source pollution. The system was a continuous-flow culture comprising a phytoplankton tank that received inflow from a storage reservoir. When the system was operated as a batch culture for the purpose of determining hydraulic retention time (HRT), the proper HRT value was three days, and the removal rate of TP and TN averaged 70% and 44%, respectively. When the system was operated with the continuous flow from a stream for 45 days, 53.9% of TP and 53.1% of TN were removed as sludge. Due to active growth of phytoplankton, pH and dissolved oxygen in the phytoplankton tank were extremely high, reaching 10.8 and 16mg $L^{-1}$, respectively. It was concluded that nutrients can be effectively removed from polluted stream waters by cultivating phytoplankton.

비점오염원으로부터 오염된 소하천에서 영양염류를 제거하기 위하여 식물플랑크톤 배양 장치를 설치하고 운영하였다. 식물플랑크톤 배양조에서 식물플랑크톤 정치배양 결과, 식물플랑크톤의 연속배양을 위한 배양조의 체류 시간을 3일로 결정하였으며 TP는 70%, TN은 44%가 제거됨을 확인하였다. 연속배양 결과 45일 동안 배양조에 유입된 TP의 53.9%, TN의 53.1%가 식물플랑크톤에 의한 흡수와 슬러지로 제거되었다. 식물플랑크톤이 성장하면서 배양조의 pH와 용존산소농도는 각각 평균 10.8, 16mg $L^{-1}$이었다. 결국 비점오염원에 오염된 하천수의 영양 염류는 식물플랑크톤의 사체와 화학반응으로 생성된 침전물로 제거되었다. 비교적 설치가 간단하고 경제성이 높은 식물플랑크톤 배양법의 높은 현장적용 가능성을 확인하였다.
