This study aims to present the practical Nitrogen monoxide (NO) removal capacity of cement mortar with Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) which is one of the paving materials by considering the environment of pavement in urban areas. NO removal capacity test under designated conditions of humidity of inflow gas and the test with variation of the degree of saturation of specimen were conducted. In the test for humidity, dry specimen is subject to the test and NO removal ratio was observed. Humidity-NO removal ratio curve is a log normal distribution in shape, and the maximum NO removal ratio appears at specific humidity. NO removal capacity test relying on the degree of saturation was carried out with wet specimen to reflect the unsaturated pavement by rainfall and domestic sewage. Wet specimen presents less NO removal capacity than dry specimen and the recovering evolution of NO removal capacity follows evaporation. Moreover, $TiO_2$ under the specific depth of specimen hardly contributes to NO removal capacity.

In this study, we analyzed experimently the NO and $SO_2$ removal by the dielectric barrier discharge-photocatalysts hybrid process. The glass spheres were used as a dielectric material for dielectric barrier discharge and the $TiO_2$ photocatalysts were coated onto those spheres by the dip-coating method. The $TiO_2$ particles were coated in the sponge-shape, which has the larger surface area. As the voltage applied to the plasma reactor, the pulse frequency of applied voltage, or the residence time increases, the NO and $SO_2$ removal efficiencies increase. The increase in the supplied concentrations of NO and $SO_2$ leads to the higher energy for NO and $SO_2$ removal and the NO and $SO_2$ removal efficiencies decrease. These experimental results can be used as a basis to design the dielectric barrier discharge-photocatalysts hybrid process to remove NO and $SO_2$.

유전체 장벽 방전 반응기 (Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Reactor)를 이용한 비열 플라즈마(Non-thermal plasma) 공정에서 NO 제거 특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 질소 분위기에서 전자에 의한 NO 의 제거는 $N_2$ + e $\longrightarrow$ N + N + e 반응에 의한 질소의 전자충돌해리 (electron-impact dissociation)와 이 반응에 의하여 생성된 질소원자에 의한 NO 의 환원반응 N + NO $\longrightarrow$ $N_2$ + O 으로 설명될 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 $O_2$ 나 $H_2O$ 의 첨가에 따른 부산물(O, $O_3$, OH 등)에 의한 산화반응이 주로 일어나는 경우 (XO + NO $\longrightarrow$ X + NO$_2$) 와는 달리 NO 제거에 소모된 에너지를 평가하기에 용이한 장점이 있다(Penetrante et al., 1995).

A bacterial strain AE-1-3, isolated from soil and wastewater identified as Pseudomonas strain, removed $NH_4^+\;and\; NO_3^-$ simultaneously in anaerobic cultivation in a medium containing $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3\;and\;3.0\%$ glucose. The strain removed $NH_4^+\;,\;NO_3^-\;and\;NO_2^-$ completely in 15 days of anaerobic cultivation. Though N03- removed completely, $33\%\;of\;NH_4^+$ remained in 15 day of incubation in $1\%$ glucose and $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3$ medium. The bacterium could remove $0.1\%\;NH_4NO_3$ completely in a short time by addition of $Cu^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Sn^{2+}\;in\;0.5\%$ glucose medium. By chaning the metal concentration, $0.3\%\;NH_4NO_3$ could be removed completely.

In this study, we have analyzed the removal efficiencies of $SO_2$ and $SO_2/NO$ by the pulsed corona discharge process and investigated the effects of several process variables on those removal efficiencies systematically. The effects of process variables such as applied voltage, pulse frequency, residence time, and initial concentrations of reactants (NO, $SO_2$, $NH_3$, $H_2O$, and $O_2$) on the removal efficiency were analyzed. As the applied voltage, the pulse frequency or the residence time increases or as the $O_2$ or the $H_2O$ or the $NH_3$ concentration in the inlet feed gas stream increases, the $SO_2$ removal efficiencies and the simultaneous removal efficiencies of $SO_2/NO$ also increase. These experimental results can be used as a basis to design the pulsed corona discharge process to remove $NO_x$ and $SO_x$.

A bench-scale feasibility study was conducted with solid farming feed to evaluate a treatment process for microbiological removal of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Strains, Bacillus sp. CK-10 and Bacillus sp. CK-13, were originally isolated from water samples of shrimp farming pond. Simultaneous removal of N/P in marine media was monitored in the co-cultures, CK-10 and CK-13. As the results, $400\;{\mu}M\;NH^{+}_4$ and $400\;{\mu}M\;NO^{-}_2$ were eliminated within 12 hours and $NO^{-}_3$ within 36 hours, and $500\;{\mu}M\;PO^{-3}_4$ was completely disappeared within 36 hours from the media. Cultures of CK-10 and CK-13 were applied for removal of N/P leached from shrimp farming fred. HPAEC-PAD system was used to analyze sugars in farming feed, resulting in resolution of various sugars including glucose, galactose, galatosamine, mannose, and fucose. $0.2\%$ (w/v) Pulp densities of the farming feed contained approximately $33.3\;{\mu}M\;NH^{+}_4,\;12.9\;{\mu}M\;NO^{-}_2.\;81.5\;{\mu}M\;NO^{-}_3\;and\;248\;{\mu}M\;PO^{-3}_4$ which could dissolved within 72 hours of leaching in aqueous solution followed by bacterial removal. Complete bacterial removal of N/P was achieved within 84 hours at $0.2\%$ of the feed in co-cultures, whereas single cultures removed to incompletion of N/P during the incubation period. This work demonstrated that test cultures, CK-10 and CK-13 showed effective removal of N/P derived from shrimp farming feed.

Performance characteristics of a wet air cleaning system were investigated experimentally, and discussed in relation with physicochemical properties of the target pollutants. The system is composed of an air cleaner, a separator, and a medium filter. Removal efficiency of the system was measured for ambient particles and gaseous air pollutants: $SO_2$, NO, $NO_2$, HCHO, and $NH_3$. For particle removal test, particles were introduced into the system through a fan, and the particle size distribution was measured at three locations by using two laser particle counters. Particle removal efficiency for each system component was obtained from the particle size distribution. It was found that the separator primarily removed coarse particles greater than $5{\mu}m$ in diameter, and that the medium filter mainly removed fine particles less than $5{\mu}m$ in diameter. For gas removal test, air with gaseous air pollutant was injected into the outlet of the fan, and the concentration was measured both at the upstream of the air cleaner and at the downstream of the separator. It was found that the gaseous species with high Henry's law coefficients, such as $SO_2$, HCHO, and $NH_3$, showed high removal efficiency, but the gaseous species with low Henry's law coefficients, such as NO and $NO_2$, showed low removal efficiencies. It was also found that negative ions were generated from the air cleaner.

질소제거 능력이 있는 Pseudomonas aeruginosa을 고분자물질인 PEG 에 포괄고정화하였으며 제조된 고정화 미생물을 이용하여 질소제거에 미치는 C/N비, 농도, 충진율, 탄소별 제거율을 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) C/N비 10이상이면 NH$_4$-N 와 NO$_3$-N의 동시 제거가 가능하였으며 2) 탄소 원으로는 glucose를 사용하였을 때 NH$_4$-N 와 NO$_3$-N의 동시 제거가 가능하였으나 methanol은 탄소원으로 사용할 수 없었다. 3) 저농도의 NO$_3$-N(50 mg/L)는 완전히 제거 가능하였으나 NH$_5$-N인 경우에는 초기 NH$_4$-N 100 mg/L에서 60%정도만 제거되었다. 4) 연속처리 결과 NH$_4$-N는 HRT 변동에도 불구하고 유출수 농도 변화가 거의 없었으나, 오히려 C/N비를 증가시키면 NH$_4$-N 제거 효율이 높았고, NO$_3$-N인 경우도 마찬가지로 C/N비를 증가시키면 NO$_3$-N 제거 효율이 높았다.

본 연구는 저온플라즈마를 이용하여 배기가스중의 SOx와 NOx를 동시에 처리하는 공정을 개발하는 것으로서, 최적의 반응제 선정과 효율적인 공정의 구성을 위해 SOx, NOx와 반응제와 반응기구를 밝히고자 하였다. 실험은 1.0 N㎥/h의 모사가스를 이용한 기초실험과 20 N㎥/h의 실제 연소가스를 이용한 실험으로 진행되었으며, 반응제로는 NH3와 파리핀계 및 올레핀계 탄화수소를 사용하였다. NH3를 반응제로 한 SO2 제거반응은 비플라즈마 조건에서는 NH4HSO3, 플라즈마 조건에서는 (NH4)2SO4의 생성반응이었고, 두 조건 모두 높은 제거율을 나타냈다. 반응제를 사용하지 않은 플라즈마 조건에서 SO2는 환원반응이 일어나고 O2 농도의 증가는 역반응을 증가시키는 화학평형에 의해 SO2의 제거율이 감소되었다. 플라즈마 조건에서 NO는 O2농도가 낮은 경우는 NO의 환원반응이 주로 일어나고, O2 농도가 높을 경우는 산화반응이 지배적이었다. 올레핀계 탄화수소는 플라즈마 조건에서 NO 산화 반응에 탁월한 효과를 보였을 뿐만 아니라 SO2 제거에도 효과를 보여 최대 40%의 제거율을 나타냈으며, NH3의 사용을 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Nitrate removal rate in three wetland cells was examined. The acreage of each cell was 150 $m^2$. They were a part of a stream water treatment demonstration system which was composed of two ponds and six wetland cells. Earth works far the pond-wetland system were finished from April 2000 to May 2000 and reeds were planted in the three cells in May 2001. Waters of Sinyang Stream flowing into Kohung Esturiane Lake located southern coastal area of Korean Peninsula were pumped into a primary pont Effluents from a secondary pond were funneled into the three cells. Volumes and water quality of inflow and outflow were analyzed from July 2001 through December 2001. Inflow and outflow averaged 20 $m^3/d$ and 19.3 $m^3/d$, respectively. Hydraulic retention time was 1.5 days. Average influent and effluent nitrate concentration was 2.30 mg/L, 1.75 mg/L, respectively. Nitrate removal rate in the three cells averaged 80.9 $mg/m^2/day$. Seasonal changes of nitrate retention rates were closely related to those of wetland temperatures. Full growth of reeds within a few years can develope litter-soil substrates beneficial to the denitrification of nitrate, which may lead to increases of the nitrate retention rates.
