Abstract
In an effort to find a solution to the eutrophication of major Korean rivers, a method to utilize multi-purpose filtration pond was investigated. As literature showed that oyster shell is known to be the most adequate for the removal of dissolved phosphorus in Korean rivers, batch and column experiments were performed using oyster shell as an adsorbent in this study. The results of the batch experiment showed that the removal of dissolved phosphorus from river water through adsorption as a way of preventing algal growth was not practical. The results obtained from the column experiment, however, suggested that oyster shell may be utilized as an adsorbent under limited conditions. Based on the results of the experiments a methodology was proposed to remove algae from river water through the use of multi-purpose filtration pond. This method involves mechanically removing the accumulated algae cake from the surface of the artificial stream in the pond towards the condensing part located at the lower reach of the stream, where particles gather before the final removal. In addition, employment of oyster shell as an adsorbent in the condensing part allows prevention of phosphorus released from the dead algae re-entering the river water.
