The feasibility of foam separation to remove solid produced from fish culture water was investigated. Performance characteristics of foam separator were highly dependent upon the operating parameters which were superficial air velocity, Hydraulic retention time (HRT), and foam height. About $50\%$ of the total protein contained in a sample of fish culture water could be removed by foam separator. The removal efficiencies of protein, T-N, TA, and solid components were increased with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT. The combined effects of these operational variables show that removal rates of TVS increase with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT, and decrease as foam height goes up. It could be confirmed that foam separator might offer good perspective for removal of harmful components such as TA and TVS in aquacultural recirculating water.

순환여과식 양식은 어류를 효과적으로 대량 생산할 수 있는 반면 어류의 배설물과 미섭취 사료 등에 의해서 암모니아, 아질산 및 유기질 고형 성분 등이 발생하여 사육중인 어류에 나쁜 영향을 야기하게 된다. 배설물과 미섭취 사료는 대부분 유기성 고형물로 어류의 아가미에 끼여 질병을 유발시키며 미생물에 의해 분해되면서 어류에 유해한 암모니아나 아질산으로 전환되어 어류에 유해하다. 그러므로 미생물에 의해 분해되기 전에 신속하고 효과적으로 제거하여야 한다. (중략)

최근 경제 성장과 더불어 고단백, 저지방 식품인 어류의 수요가 증대되고 있으며, 특히 횟감용 활어의 소비량이 급증하고 있다. 반면 해수의 수급이 용이하지 않은 내륙지방의 경우 활어수조 내 해수의 오염도가 높아 어류의 폐사가 발생하며, 이로 인해 국민건강에 영향을 미친다. 활어 수조 내에서 발생되는 어류의 배설물 중 단백질 성분은 미생물에 의해 분해되어 암모니아를 발생시키고 용존산소를 감소시키는 물질로서 신속한 제거가 필요하다(서 등, 1999). (중략)

In the present work, the sequencing batch reactor process of two-sludge type was optimized. The effects of solid retention time, hydraulic retention time, length of biosorption phase and temperature variation were investigated, respectively. In the T-N removal, the long solid retention time was favored. It was speculated that SCOD biosorption efficiency was higher in long solid retention time than in short solid retention time. In the comparison of hydraulic retention time, the removal efficiency of $NH_4^+-N$ and T-N were almost same in all applied hydraulic retention times which were 8 hr, 10 hr and 15 hr. It was observed that there was no need to have the hydraulic retention time more than 20 min in biosorption phase for enhancement of T-N removal efficiency. An experimental comparison of removal efficiencies with different temperature conditions was carried out. Decrease of temperature didn't affect the performance of the process, however, phosphorus removal efficiency was a little higher at low temperature than high temperature. Consequently, the process developed in this study was much amenable to wastewater treatment which was conducted in the low temperature and high loading rate.

Solid and liquid phase peroxidases were extracted from Chinese cabbage roots by using commercial juicer in order to use peroxidases from agricultural waste for industrial applications. Since peroxidases are distributed into 66% in liquid (juice) and 34% in solid phase (pulp), enzymes from both phases were applied to investigate the enzymatic removal of phenol from waste water. After contacting 150 ppm Phenol solution with liquid phase enzyme (1,800 unit/$\ell$) for 3 hours in a batch stirred reactor, 96% of phenol could be removed through polymerization and precipitation. Also, phenol could be removed from initial 120ppm to 5ppm by applying solid phase enzyme in an air lift reactor ($600 unit/\ell$). Almost equivalent efficiencies of phenol removal were observed between two systems, even though only one third of the enzymes in batch stirred reactor was applied in airlift reactor. The possible reason for this phenomenon is because peroxidases exist as immobilized forms in solid phase.

T-P removal efficiency was analyzed according to the metal to initial T-P ratio (mole basis) with respect to the samples from different WWTPs having various initial T-P and SS conditions. Also, operating costs were calculated based on the injected coagulant amount and the amount of sludge production. Most experiments were conducted by the standard jar-test protocol. Molar ratio of coagulant dose was varied considerably according to the initial SS concentration range in secondary clarifier effluent samples which had above 0.5 mg/L of initial T-P. Based on 90% T-P removal efficiency, results were: At the initial SS range of below 10 mg/L, Alum (8%) = 11 mol Al/mol P needed and PAC (17%) = 9.6 mol Al/mol P needed; At the initial SS range of above 10 mg/L, Alum (8%) = 3.9 mol Al/mol P needed and PAC (17%) = 3.2 mol Al/mol P needed.

The performances of a parallel current air driven type foam separator were evaluated in the pilot-scale recirculating aquaculture system. The system was stocked with Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at an initial rearing densities of $2\%$, $5\%$ and $7\%$ of water volume of rearing tank and reared for 15, 30, 35 days, respectively. The condensated volume of effluent foam was increasing with increased rearing density. As increasing rearing density from $2\%$ to $7\%$, the protein concentration in rearing tank was increased from 16.6 g/$m^3$ to 21,9 g/$m^3$ and the removal amount of protein through foam separator as increased from 0.99 g/day to 2.5 g/day. But protein concentration ratio in the foam was decreased from 3.2 to 1.9. Changes of the removal amount and the concentration ratios of total suspended solid (TSS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD_cr.) were similar to proteins. The highest concentration ratios of TSS and COD_cr. were 10.2 and 8.4 at 2$2\%$ of rearing density.

Contamination of soil and groundwater by the compounds of hydrocarbon petroleum has been widely accepted as the main cause that harms the environments and health. To remove those pollutants, absorbing clothes, activated carbons, or oil-water separation devices with the gravity method are employed for treatment. However, those materials and devices cannot remove the emulsion pollutants despite of their efficiency for removing free products. Therefore, we investigated the problems which occur during the groundwater treatment for the highly concentrated suspended solid particles, which can be resulted from excavation, and to propose methods to remove TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon). After coagulation experiment with high molecular polymers, the concentration of SS(Suspended Solids) and COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) turned to satisfy the groundwater quality criteria within 5 minutes while the concentration of TPH failed to meet the water quality standard of effluent. Consequently, the water quality criteria for effluent could not be met by single DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) process. However all water quality criteria could be satisfied after 20 minutes when coagulation reactions are carried out simultaneously in the DAF reactor.

The antioxidant activities and properties of freeze-dried(FD) coffee were examined. Aqueous solution of FD coffee showed antioxidant activity on lard, and the antioxidant effect increased with increasing the addition of the aqueous solution. In contrast, FD coffee powder did not showed antioxidant activity on lard. The antioxidant activities of aqueous FD coffee solution of different solid contents were closely correlated with the water activity(Aw). Aqueous FD coffee solution with high Aw(over 0.98) showed strong antioxidant activity. Emulsifiers added to lard did not change the antioxidant activities of aqueous FD coffee solution. The lard that aqueous FD coffee solution was removed from by centrifuging had an antioxidant activity as the lard with aqueous FD coffee solution did. The spectrophotometry test showed that unidentified nonpolar components of FD coffee were introduced into lard.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of solids content and mixing speed in treatment of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils using a slurry-phase bioreactor. Performance results on slurry-phase bioremediation of diesel fuel contaminated soil were generated at the bench-scale level. The fate of TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) was evaluated in combination with biological treatment. Abiotic and biotic fate of the TPH were determined using soil not previously exposed to compounds in diesel fuel. The reactor volume for given throughput can be reduced by maximizing the solids content. Applications of 50% and 20% solids content(dry weight basis) were showed a little difference(57.5% : 61.6%) in biological TPH removal rate each other. Mixing and particle suspension are critical to desorption and biological degradation. In this standpoint, this study was performed using two mixing speed. When the reactor was operated at 70rpm, it had a better result in the particle suspension and TPH removal rate than the reactor with mixer rotated at 20rpm. In the reactor applied 20rpm, it was resulted in failure of particle suspension.
