This study was performed for minimization of excessive biofilm effects at the high strength organic wastewater treatment. As a results of biofilm attachment experiment using piggery wastewater, aggravation of water quality due to excessive biofilm showed after 15 days of operating times.4 excessive biofilm phase, the equivalent biofilm thickness and VSS contents per unit aura were observed in the range of 1,100 to $1,200{\mu}m$ and 2.5 to 3.0mg $VSS/cm^{2}$, respectively. In the aerobic fixed biofilm reactor/anoxic fixed biofilm reactor(AFBR/ANFBR) process with endogenous respiration phase, the BOD removal efficiency was obtained more than 90 percentage at the surface loading rate and volumetric loading rate of the AFBR maintained less than 17 g $BOD/m^{2}{\cdot}$day and 1.7kg $BOD/m^{3}{\cdot}$day, respectively. The removal efficiency of TKN and $NH_{3}$-N at the loading rates below 5.60g $NH_{3}-N/m^{2}{\cdot}day$ and 0.56kg $NH_{3}-N/m^{3}{\cdot}$day were above 76 percentage and 82 percentage, respectively. In order to reduced sludge production rate and aggravation of water quality, endogenous respiration phase was accepted at first AFBR reactor. As a results of this operating condition, sludge production was minimized and removal efficiency was maintained stability.

In this study, we investigated the buffering effect with different COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and TP shock loads on the performance of lab-scale Sequencing Batch Reactor(SBR) using synthetic wastewater. This study was operated under the following conditions : HRT, 12 hrs : MLSS, 2,000 mg/L : F/M ratio, $0.2kgCOD/kgMLSS{\cdot}d$ : SRT, 20days, and was increased by a factor, COD : ranging from 200-2000 mg/L, $NH_4{^+}-N$ : ranging from 30-300 mg/L, T-P : ranging from 5-50 mg/L in the reactor. As results, COD removal rate at different shock loads was decreased until 42.1%(stable state : 95%) and concentration with effluent was higher than 695 mg/L(at Run 6). In case of $NH_4{^+}-N$ removal rate was decreased until 35.8% from 97.0% and also T-P removal rate was decreased until 5.0%. Effluent concentrations of COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and T-P were rapidly increased according to shock loads and needed 3, 4 and 6 additional cycle times for recovering the stable condition.

Biological nitrogen removal, using a continuous flow packed-bed reactor (CPBR) in a consecutive nitrification and denitrification process, was evaluated. An apparent decline in the nitrification efficiency coincided with the steady increase in $NH_4{^+}$-N load. Sustained nitrification efficiency was found to be higher at longer empty bed contact times (EBCTs). The relationship between the rate of alkalinity consumption and $NH_4{^+}$-N utilization ratio followed zero-order reaction kinetics. The heterotrophic denitrification rate at a carbon-tonitrogen (C/N) ratio of >4 was found to be >74%. This rate was higher by a factor of 8.5 or 8.9 for $NO_3{^-}$-N/volatile solids (VS)/day or $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3$ ceramic media/day, respectively, relative to the rates measured at a C/N ratio of 1.1. Autotrophic denitrification efficiencies were 80-90%. It corresponds to an average denitrification rate of 0.96 kg $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3$ ceramic media/day and a relevant average denitrification rate of 0.28 g $NO_3{^-}$-N/g VS/day, were also obtained. Results presented here also constitute the usability of an innovative porous sulfur ceramic media. This enhanced the dissolution rate of elemental sulfur via a higher contact surface area.

To treat wastewater efficiently by a one-step process of nitrogen removal, a new bacterial strain producing $N_2$ gas from ${NH_4}^+$ under an aerobic condition was isolated and identified. The cell was motile and a Gram-negative rod, and usually occurred in pairs. By 16S-rDNA analysis, the isolated strain was identified as Enterobacter asburiae with 96% similarity. The isolate showed that the capacity of $N_2$ production under an oxic condition was approximately three times higher than that under an anoxic condition. Thus, the consumption of ${NH_4}^+$ by the isolate was significantly different in the metabolism of $N_2$ production under the two different environmental conditions. The optimal conditions of the immobilized isolate for $N_2$ production were found to be pH 7.0, $30^{\circ}C$ and C/N ratio 5, respectively. Under all the optimum reaction conditions, $N_2$ production by the immobilized isolate resulted in reduction of ORP with both the consumption of DO and the drop of pH. The removal efficiencies of $COD_{Cr}$, and TN were 56.1 and 60.9%, respectively. The removal rates of $COD_{Cr}$, and TN were the highest for the first 2.5 hrs with the removal $COD_{Cr}/TN$ ratios of 32.1, and afterwards the rates decreased as reaction proceeded. For application of the immobilized isolate to a practical process of ammonium removal, a continuous operation was executed with a synthetic medium of a low C/N ratio. The continuous bioreactor system exhibited a satisfactory performance at 12.1 hrs of HRT, in which the effluent concentrations of ${NH_4}^+$-N was measured to be 15.4 mg/L with its removal efficiency of 56.0%. The maximum removal rate of ${NH_4}^+$-N reached 1.6 mg ${NH_4}^+$-N/L/hr at 12.1 hrs of HRT(with N loading rate of $0.08\;Kg-N/m^3$-carrier/d). As a result, the application of the immobilized isolate appears a viable alternative to the nitrification-denitrification processes.

양어장 순환수 속의 암모니아성 질소를 제거하기 위하여 PVA를 boric acid. 처리법과 ethanol 처리법 및 freezing-thawing 처리법으로 제조된 구형 bead와 칼럼형 bead에 이들을 이용한 질화균군을 고정화 시켰다. 유가식 배양에서는 boric acid 처리법으로 제조된 구형 bead가 유동층 반응조에서 사용하기에 성상면에서나 암모니아 제거율에서 가장 이상적이었으며, 90일 동안의 유동층 반응기에서 운전하였으나 bead의 성상이나 효율은 변화없이 일정하였다. Boric acid 처리법으로 제조된 bead를 충전한 연속 빈용기에서의 암모니아성 질소 제거에 대한 실험에서 수리학적 체류시간이 0.6시간에서 암모니아 제거 속도는 31.9g $NH__3-N/m^3$/day였으며 제거효울은 36% 였다. 연속 반응기내에 2mg/L의 암모니아가 주입되고 공기량을 0.1vvin으로 공급하더라도 용존산소 농도를 4,64~5.40mg/L로 유지할수 있었으므로 질산화에 필요한 용존산소를 충분히 유지할 수가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 pH는 7.7~7.9의 범위를 유지할 수가 있어 pH에 따른 위해 요소는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The computer simulation model was used to forecast the concentrations of COD$_{cr}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$-N and NO$_{3}$$^{-}$-N in each reactors. In the biological wastewater treatment system, the computer simulation model was used to observe the behavior of pollutants especially. In this research, effect of SRT, feeding pattern and recirculation rate on UCT(University of Cape Town) process was evaluated by computer simulation model. T-N removal was affected to the SRT. SRT for effective T-N removal was 15 days or longer. Feeding pattern in UCT process was affected to the T-N removal. Feeding pattern which 100% loading to the first reactor was most effective for T-N removal. The effect of recirculation rate was clear for T-N removal. The recirculation from anoxic reactor to anaerobic reactor was not need but the recirculation from oxic reactor to anoxic reactor was need. In aspect of nitrogen removal efficiency, A/O process was higher than UCT process.

첨단 전자 제품 산업의 비약적인 발전은 환경적 측면에서 고농도 암모니아 폐수의 증가를 초래했다. 고농도 암모니아 폐수를 안정적으로 처리하기 위해 다양한 방법의 기술이 시도되고 있으나, 지금까지 성공적인 기술이 개발되어 적용되지는 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 첨단 전자산업에서 발생하는 고농도 암모니아 함유 폐수에 대하여 밀폐(closed) 순환형 대향류 충전탑 형식의 실증설비를 이용하여 온도, 공기부하율 그리고 폐수부하율 변화에 따른 암모니아성 질소의 제거효율과 제거 특성을 평가하였다. 폐수량 20.8 m³ h^-1, 공기량 18,000 Nm³ h^-1의 운전 조건에서 온도를 45, 50, 55 그리고 60℃로 변경하여 운전한 결과, 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N)의 제거율은 각각 87.5, 93.4, 96.8 및 98.7%로 온도가 제거율에 미치는 가장 큰 영향 인자임을 알 수 있었다. 공기부하율을 증가시키면 제거율도 증가하나, 흡수탑의 액적(droplet)이 탈기탑으로 유입되어 제거율 증가는 크지 않았다. 폐수 부하율이 변경되어도 제거율은 크게 변하지 않았는데, 이는 제거율에 영향이 없는 것이 아니라, 상대적으로 높은 공기부하율에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 실증연구를 통해 암모니아 탈기법은 첨단 전자산업에서 발생하는 고농도 암모니아 폐수를 안정적으로 처리할 수 있는 적정한 공법임을 확인할 수 있었다.
