In this research, a retrofitting process, which consists of a pretreatment system (coagulation) for dye wastewater combined with a biological nutrient system (MLE process using media), for a sewage treatment plant that has to treat dye wastewater efficiently with domestic wastewater were developed and a pilot plant was operated for verifying adoptability and performance of the developed advanced process for dye wastewater. From the results of the pilot plant operation, BOD 52.9%, $COD_{Cr}$ 55.9%, and color 71.3% were removed in pretreatment of coagulation process and the biodegradability of dye wastewater was improved to $0.32{\sim}0.59BOD/COD_{Cr}$ of the coagulated wastewater from $0.29{\sim}0.43BOD/COD_{Cr}$ of the raw dye wastewater. The final effluent concentrations were BOD of 8 mg/L, $COD_{Cr}$ of 43 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ of 18 mg/L, T-N of 8 mg/L, and T-P of 1.3 mg/L, respectively. Color was removed from 1655 to 468 unit by coagulation and then to 123 unit by MLE process. The HPLC analysis of aromatic amines in wastewater showed that decolorization was achieved by cometabolism while aromatic amines were produced by cleavage of azo bonds under anaerobic conditions and these products were removed in an aerobic tank subsequently. Nitrification rates of attached and suspended microorganisms were evaluated comparatively and the acclimating conditions of bacteria on media were validated by the scanning electron microscope.

We studied runoff characteristics of combined sewer overflows in a city while it was raining. The event mean concentration (EMC) of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand ($COD_{Cr}$), suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) in one of the combined sewer sites in Chuncheon was 63.5-211.6 mg/L, 114.9-523.8 mg/L, 70.3-436.4 mg/L, 6.4-33.0 mg/L, and 1.09-6.81 mg/L, respectively. In another combined sewer, the EMC of BOD, COD, SS, TN, and TP was 42.1-131.4 mg/L, 107.7-256.5 mg/L, 33.7-221.1 mg/L, 7.9-26.4 mg/L, and 1.16-3.91 mg/L, respectively. The ratio of the cumulative pollutant mass and the cumulative discharged volume determined using all parameters (BOD, $COD_{Cr}$, SS, TN, and TP) was over 1.0, which shows the first flush effect. Relationships between flow and loadings of BOD, $COD_{Cr}$, SS, TN, and TP were 0.90, 0.89, 0.88, 0.89, 0.92, respectively. Although the size of two areas was almost same, pollutant concentration and loading were different because of the amount of rainfall, rainfall intensity and basin area.

The spectroscopic characteristics and chemical oxygen demand (COD) oxidation efficiencies were investigated for dissolved organic matters (DOM) from diverse sources, which may indirectly affect the concentrations and the quality of DOM found in watersheds. The DOM investigated for this study showed a wide range of the percent distributions of refractory organic matter (R-OM) from 8 to 100%. Relatively high R-OM distributions were observed for the DOM with the source of head water, sediments, paddy soils, field soils, and treated sewage whereas the DOM from livestock waste, reed, weeds, algae, and attached algae exhibited lower R-OM percent distributions. The percent distribution of R-OM had positive correlations with specific UV absorbance (SUVA) and humidification indices (HIX) of DOM. The investigated DOM was classified into four different source groups (i.e., biota, vegetables, soils, sediments) by comparing the synchronous fluorescence spectra. The DOM group from biota source was characterized by a prominent presence of protein-like fluorescence (PLF) whereas fulvic-like fluorescence (FLF) was additionally observed for vegetable-source DOM. FLF became significant for the DOM from both soils and sediments although no PLF was found for soil-derived DOM. A range of COD oxidation efficiency was observed for the various DOM, ranging from 36 to 94% and from 65 to 125% for $COD_{Mn}$ and $COD_{Cr}$, respectively. The results indicate that $COD_{Cr}$ reflects the higher OM concentration than $COD_{Mn}$. However, 95% confidence intervals of the COD oxidation efficiencies were similar for the two types of COD, suggesting that $COD_{Cr}$ may not be the superior OM index to $COD_{Mn}$ in terms of the variability of the oxidation efficiency. No significant correlations were obtained between COD oxidation efficiencies and the spectroscopic characteristics of DOM for this study.

Constructed wetlands were typically cost less to build and operate, and require less energy than standard mechanical treatment technology but they have similar performance to centralized wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, they were constructed especially many in rural areas, where are small villages but not industries. Accordingly, plantless column tests were performed to investigate the possibility on using zeolite as a filter medium of constructed wetland for the wastewater treatment. $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency was 94.63% at hydraulic load $314L/m^2{\cdot}d$ and filtering hight 100cm filled with a zeolite mixture. This zeolite mixture consisted of 1 : 1 by volume of a zeolite in the diameter range of 0.5 to 1mm to a zeolite in the diameter range of 1 to 3mm. According, hydraulic load $314L/m^2{\cdot}d$ was considered as optimal. Three zeolite mixture were used to determine the optimal mixing ratio by volume of a zeolite(A) in the diameter range of 0.5 to 1mm to a zeolite(B) in the diameter range of 1 to 3mm diameter. 1 : 3, 1 : 1 and only B in A to B by volume were tested at hydraulic load $314L/m^2{\cdot}d$ and filtering hight 100cm. $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency was more than 89% at mixing ratios of 1 : 3 and 1 : 1 in A to B. Removal efficiency was lower at the column filled with only B. Removal efficiency was better at filter medium filled with mixing ratio 1 : 1 in A to B than with the other mixing ratios. Thus, it was found that the mixture of mixing ratio 1 : 1 in A to B was appropriate for filter medium of constructed wetland. Removal efficiency was higher in down-flow than in up-flow, and $COD_{cr}$ and BOD were removed best in 20cm filter height near feeding area.

도시지역은 불투수층 면적비율이 높아 작은 강우에도 초기유출(first flush)이 강하게 발생하고 유출되는 오염물질 농도도 높다. 도로유출수에는 미세입자물질, 중금속, 유기물질 성분을 다량 함유하고 있다. 도로유출수의 수질과 입자의 유출특성을 파악하고자 교통량이 비교적 많은 도로 2개 지점을 대상으로 총 6회의 강우시료를 채수하여 분석하였다. 2개 조사 지점에서 분석된 도로유출수 수질농도범위는 SS $45{\sim}2,396\;mg/L$, $COD_{Cr}\;40{\sim}931\;mg/L$, TKN $0.1{\sim}19.6\;mg/L$, TP $0.2{\sim}25.1\;mg/L$, Fe $0.33{\sim}8.15\;mg/L$, Cr $0.06{\sim}0.50\;mg/L$, Pb $0.06{\sim}0.97\;mg/L$, Cr $0.01{\sim}0.12\;mg/L$으로 조사되었다. 강우초기의 농도는 극단적으로 높은 특성을 나타내었다. 도로유출수 SS와 상관계수가 높은 수질항목으로는 $COD_{Cr}$, TP, Cu, Pb이고, 상관계수가 가장 낮은 항목으로는 TKN으로 분석되었다. 도로유출수의 입경을 분석한 결과 평균 f3경간의 범위는 $6.7{\sim}23.4\;{\mu}m$이고 90% 입경의 범위는 $36.2{\sim}105.2\;{\mu}m$로 분석되었다. 또한, 입경은 유출량에 비례적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 균등계수를 분석한 결과 평균범위는 $6.4{\sim}10.2$로 입경 분포범위가 크게 나타났다.

Three types dyeing wastewater (dark, medium, light color) discharged from cotton textile dyeing with reactive dye was collected at each step of process. Each process dying wastewater was analyzed and treated by ionized gas. The analysis focused on $COD_{Cr}$, SS and color. Bleaching & scouring process wastewater has the highest $COD_{Cr}$ value in the three type dyeing wastewater. SS shows the highest value at dyeing process wastewater in dark and medium color but light color has at finishing process wastewater. The result of process wastewater treatment by ionized gas was that the ionized gas was effective in $COD_{Cr}$ removing of bleaching & scouring process and finishing process wastewater but was not good at dyeing process wastewater. From that result it is estimated that the ionized gas could not work in opening the aromatic ring and react only in aliphatic component of the molecule. Because the surfactants contained in bleaching & scouring process and finishing process wastewater have only one aromatic ring in its molecular structure, in contrast with the reactive dye compounds consist of aromatic rings great part of its molecular structure. The color almost removed in 1.5 hrs reaction time but $COD_{Cr}$ removal effiency was only 30.7% through 3hrs in 1500 mL of total dyeing wastewater treated by 10 L/min ionized gas.

Road runoff water is one of the non-point sources (NPSs) of pollution negatively influencing drinking water source. Numerous road runoff NPS waters have been studied for over the last decade. However, the sources of pollution can be conditional, seasonal, or accidental. Therefore, measurement of pollutant loadings in different site is necessary to estimate the effect of road runoff water. The objective of this study was to examine the quality of road runoff water from a city bridge in Seoul, Korea. This study was conducted for two years to assess annual discharge pollution loads. In this study, key water quality parameters including chemical oxygen demand ($COD_{Cr}$), biochemcial oxygen demand ($BOD_5$), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphorus (T-P), and suspended solid (SS) were measured at 18 different events. The results showed that typically the pollutant concentrations are higher at the beginning of each event and decrease afterwards. The first 20% of the volume of the runoff from each event is transporting 46% ($COD_{Cr}$), 48% ($BOD_5$), 50% (T-N), 34% (T-P), 30% (SS), respectively. The event mean concentrations (EMCs) were $COD_{Cr}$ (199 mg/L), $BOD_5$ (41.2 mg/L), T-N (7.97 mg/L), T-P (0.42 mg/L) and SS (113 mg/L). Although the results were consistent with the previous study (Barbosa and Hvitved-Jacobsen, 1999), $COD_{Cr}$, $BOD_5$, T-N exhibit a stronger first flush effect compared to the other contaminants.
