The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of As(V) reduction by aqueous Fe(II), and subsequent As(III) immobilization by the precipitation of As(III) incorporated magnetite-like material [i.e., co-precipitation of As(III) with Fe(II) and Fe(III)]. Experimental results showed that homogeneous As(V) reduction did not occur by dissolved Fe(II) at various pH values although the thermodynamic calculation was in favor of the redox reaction between As(V) and Fe(II) under the given chemical conditions. Similarly, no heterogeneous reduction of sorbed As(V) by sorbed Fe(II) was observed using synthetic iron (oxy)hydroxide (Goethite, ${\alpha}$-FeOOH) at pH 7. Experimental results for the effect of As(V) on the oxidation of Fe(II) by dissolved oxygen showed that As(V) inhibited the oxidation of Fe(II). These results indicate that As(V) could be stable in the presence of Fe(II) under the anoxic or subsurface environments.

Laboratory experiments were aimed to evaluate the effect of nitrate as a electron acceptor during the biological phosphorus uptake and to investigate the microbial community. Anaerobic-anoxic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) compared the removal behaviour to anaerobic-oxic SBR, both SBRs maintained lower effluent quality with 1.0 mgp/1. Anaerobic-anoxic SBR was able to remove additional 5.0 to 7.0 mg (P+N)/ι than other biological nutrient removal (BM) system. Therefore, it was proposed that the anaerobic-anoxic SBR was more effective at weak sewage. From the results of the maicrobial community analysis, it can be inferred that denitrifying bacteria and polyphosphate accumulating bacteria coexist in anaerobic-anoxic SBR during stable condition for removing the nitrogen and phosphorus. Particularly, it was suggested that the Zoogloea ramigera in the $\beta$-subclass of proteobacteria and the Alcaligenes defragrans of the Rhodocyclus group in the $\beta$-subclass of proteobacteria played a major role for removing the nitrogen and phosphorus as dPAOs (denitrifying phosphate accumulating organisms).

Using Mu dJ(Km lac) operon fusion, several oxygen-regulated genetic loci were identified in Salmonella typhimurium. Nine aerobically inducible(oxi) and thirteen anaerobically inducible(ani) operon fusions were newly identified. Based on the control by oxrA regulatory locus, the ani-lacZ fusions were grouped into two classes: class I loci were regulated by oxrA regulatory locus; class II genes were not affected by this locus. Some of the ani-lacZ fusions had required growth in CAA and LB before they exhibited the inducible phinotype. Most of all ani-lacZ fusions were repressed by nitrate and fumarate. Three of the ani loci were mapped into $59{\pm}0.14$ map unit (YK114), $64{\pm}0.5$ map unit(YK120), and $93{\pm}0.29$ map unit(YK112) by testing the cotransduction frequency, respectively.

국내의 하수도 보급률은 90%에 달하고 있으며, 하수의 고도처리와 처리기술이 향상된 신기술개발 등으로 수질개선 효과가 크게 개선되어 있고, 전국 각지에 활발하게 하수처리장의 건설이 추진 중에 있지만, 다양한 오염원의 증가와 함께 환경기준은 점차적으로 강화되고 있어 기존 하수처리장은 강화되고 있는 환경기준을 만족시키기 어려운 실정으로 새로운 처리법의 도입이 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 시설이 노후화된 하수종말처리장의 경우에는 경제적인 부담감을 이유로 기존 공법 개선을 통한 수질기준을 만족하기 위하여 노력하고 있으며, 특히, 방류수 수질 중에서 총질소(T-N)와 총인(T-P)의 기준을 평상시와 겨울철(12월 1일부터 3월 31일까지)로 구분하여 적용하여 왔지만, 2012년부터는 이를 동일하게 적용함으로써 겨울철 생물학적 처리 공정에서의 효율저하로 인한 기준치 만족이 어려운 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 인천의 하수처리장을 대상으로 동절기 수온의 저하에 따른 생물학적 공정을 개선시키기 위하여 운전조건을 변경하여 수질개선 증대 방안을 도출하고자 하였으며, 생물학적 공정인 MLE공법으로 동절기 외부 온도의 영향을 받는 조건을 갖는 사업소를 대상으로 실내 실험장치를 구성하여 조건을 변화하면서 개선 효과를 검토하였다. 생물반응조의 공정위치 변화, 미생물농도 그리고 체류시간변화 등의 실험조건으로 하수 처리 효율을 분석하였으며, 운전 중 외부반송 유량, 내부반송 유량 등의 운전인자는 일정하게 유지하였고, 동절기 온도인 $10^{\circ}C$로 유지하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과 대상 하수처리장의 생물학적 공정의 개선방향은 공정 배열을 변화하였을 때, 현재의 공정 배열 조건인 무산소조 1개, 호기조 4개의 공정보다 호기조 1개, 무산소조 1개, 호기조 3개로 수정하는 경우 현재 공정보다 질소는 7%, 유기물은 9.2% 처리효율이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다. 미생물 농도 변화를 주어 수질 개선 효과를 검토한 결과 하수처리장 설계농도인 3,500ppm의 경우보다 미생물 농도를 5,970ppm으로 증가시킨 경우 17.4% 처리효율의 개선효과를 보여 질소 제거를 위해 미생물의 농도를 증가시키는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단하였다. 또한, 체류시간(HRT)을 변화한 경우에는 현재 체류시간(HRT)인 8시간 보다 10시간으로 증가시켰을 경우 유기물은 3.2%, 질소는 2.6%의 처리효율이 개선되는 것으로 분석되었다.

Optimal sludge recycling ratio for maximum total nitrogen(TN) removal efficiency was calculated stoichiometrically using nitrification and denitrification reaction with given influent water qualities in anoxic-oxic process which was one of the popular nitrogen removal system. The water quality items for stoichiometric calculation were ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity, COD, and dissolved oxygen which could affect nitrification and denitrification. Optimal sludge recycling ratio for maximum TN removal efficiency was expressed by those five influent water qualities. TN concentration calculated stoichiometrically had kept good relationship with reported TN concentration in each tank and final effluent. In addition, it was possible to expect the TN concentration in final effluent by stoichiometric calculation within ${\pm}5.0\;mg/L$.

Ice wedges are subsurface ice mass structures that formed mainly by freezing precipitation with airborne dust and surrounding soil particles flowed through the active layer into the cracks growing by repeating thermal contractions in the deeper permafrost layer over time. These ice masses characteristically contain high concentrations of solutes and solids. Because of their unique properties and distribution, the possibility of harnessing ice wedges as an alternative archive for reconstructing paleoclimate and paleoenvironment has been recently suggested despite limited studies. It is imperative to preserve the physicochemical properties of the ice wedge (e.g., solute concentration, mineral particles) without any potential alteration to use it as a proxy for reconstructing the paleo-information. Thawing the ice wedge samples is prerequisite for the assessment of their physicochemical properties, during which the paleo-information could be unintentionally altered by any methodological artifact. This study examined the effect of thawing conditions and procedures on the physicochemical properties of solutes and solid particles in ice wedge samples collected from Cyuie, East Siberia. Four different thawing conditions with varying temperatures (4 and 23℃) and oxygen exposures (oxic and anoxic) for the ice wedge sample treatment were examined. Ice wedge samples thawed at 4℃ under anoxic conditions, wherein biological activity and oxidation were kept to a minimum, were set as the standard thawing conditions to which the effects of temperature and oxygen were compared. The results indicate that temperature and oxygen exposure have negligible effects on the physicochemical characteristics of the solid particles. However, the chemical features of the solution (e.g., pH, electric conductivity, alkalinity, and concentration of major cations and trace elements) at 4℃ under oxic conditions were considerably altered, compared to those measured under the standard thawing conditions. This study shows that the thawing condition of ice wedge samples can affect their chemical features and thereby the geochemical information therein for the reconstruction of the paleoclimate and/or paleoenvironment.

The reciprocal effects towards the enhanced biological phosphorus removal were performed for anaerobic, aerobic and anoxic phases. The batch experiments showed that the p-absorption in the anoxic phase was 50% lower than aerobic phase. The correlation coefficient between p-back-solution and p-absorption was found to be $R^2=0.557$ however, the coefficient b(b = 8.4049) was relatively higher than the other researchers results. The increase and/or acceptance of the $K^+-,\;Mg^{2+}-$ and $NH_4-N$-concentration was proportional to those of the $PO_4-P$-concentration in the batch test. The relationship between $K^+-,\;Mg^{2+}$ and $PO_4-P$ was determined. The average value of this relation-ship agreed with 0.2 mol $K^+Ion$ / mol $PO_4-P$ ion and 0.21 mol $Mg^{2+}Ion$ / moi $PO_4-P$ ion in the anaerobic phase. The absorbed ratio of $K^+$ to $Mg^{2+}$ over $PO_4-P$ was found to be 1 : 5.

This study was carried out to investigate removal character of nitrogen and phosphorus with injection time of acetic acid on SBR, which is one of the biological treatment process. Wastewater used in experiment period was swine wastewater with character, relatively lower organic material concentration than nitrogen concentration. In the experiment with injection time of acetic acid, run 1 wasn't injected acetic acid during the anoxic period, and run 2 was injected intermittently acetic acid during the anoxic period of 15 hours. And run 3 was injected intermittently during the anoxic period of 3hours from end of wastewater filling. And filing time of the wastewater was 20hour from run 1 to run 3. In the study, the highest removal efficiency of organic and nitrogen were obtained by the operating condition of Run 2(the ratio of mixing/aeration time : 16.5/5.5, injection time of acetic acid : 15hours) and T-P was obtained by the operation condition of Run 3(the ratio of mixing/aeration time : 16.5/5.5, injection time of acetic acid : 3hours),and removal efficiency of $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, T-N and T-P in the treated water was 96.1%, 87.7%, 90.6%, 86.6% and 84.5%, respectively.

본 연구는 서로 다른 조건에서 질산화를 유도한 반응기의 군집동태를 살피기 위해 DGGE를 이용하여 반응기 초기의 슬러지 구성 군집의 상태와 질산화 유도후의 군집변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. DGGE의 전체 profile에 의하면 군집을 조성하는 개체군의 수가 상당히 축소되었다는 점과 비배양적인 질산화균이 여전히 많다는 점, 그리고 호기조건과 미호기/무산소 조건에 공존하는 band가 많은 것으로 볼 때 예상보다는 산소에 대해 내성이 있는 질산화균이 많다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
