본 조사를 통해 토양오염유발시설 중 유류 유출사고가 잦은 주유소에서의 오염현황 조사방법과 오염토양에 대한 적정한 정화기법을 제시하고자 하였다. 오염현황 조사결과, 지층구조 는 전반적으로 Clay로 구성되어 있으나 오염토양 주변은 비교적 투수도와 통기성이 우수한 Silty Sand층을 나타내고 있었다. 본 주유소의 경우 주유기 주변(상층부)과 지하유류저장탱크 주변(수직분포)에 오염이 분포되어 있고, 오염원인은 주유기의 배관 파손 및 결함에 의해 발생한 것으로 예상된다. 본 조사지역에 대한 정화기법으로는 토양증기추출기술(SVE)과 불포화대를 생물학적으로 복원할 수 있는 바이오벤팅기술을 결합시킨 Bioslurping이 효과적일 것으로 평가된다. 또한 Bioslurry injection treatment를 병행하여 효과적으로 고농도의 오염토양을 처리하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

There are two types of rectangular secondary clarifier at biological nutrient removal (BNR) facility to settle MLSS; conventional activated sludge secondary clarifier and Gould Type I clarifier. In this study, the performances of two types at respective biological nutrient removal facility are compared using weekly operational data. Surface Overflow Rate (SOR), Surface Loading Rate (SLR), Sludge Volume Index (SVI), secondary effluent SS concentration are studied. It has found that Gould Type I has 3.5 times less average secondary effluent SS concentration that is 2.4 mg/L than that of conventional activated sludge secondary clarifier. Both SOR and SLR have shown little effect on secondary effluent SS concentrations at Gould Type I clarifier in contrary that SOR affects the secondary effluent SS concentrations at conventional activated sludge rectangular secondary clarifier. From this study, it is recommended that Gould Type I must be considered for secondary clarifier when BNR plant is designed.

This study is a numerical representative modelling analysis for applying the process that unravels networks between cells in genetics to WWW of informatics. Using the probabilistic graphical model, the insight from the data describing biological networks is used for making a probabilistic function. Rather than a complex network of cells, we reconstruct a simple lower-stage model and show a genetic representation level from the genetic based network logic. We made probabilistic graphical models from genetic data and extends them to genetic representation data in the method of network modelling in informatics.

국제협약에 따라 2012년부터 유기성폐기물의 해양배출이 금지됨에 따라 환경문제를 유발하는 축산분뇨, 음식물쓰레기, 농축산 폐기물 등의 처리가 곤란한 실정이다. 그러나 최근 저탄소 녹색성장으로 정부가 폐자원 에너지화에 관심을 기울이면서 위의 폐기물을 바이오가스로 전환하는 바이오가스 플랜트(Biogas Plant, BGP)의 이용이 보다 활성화 될 전망이다[1]. 이 바이오가스 처리방법에서 유기물은 메탄가스로 배출되고[2], 나머지 영양성분들(질소, 인산, 칼륨 등)은 모두 소화액에 남아있으므로[3] 이들은 친환경농업에서 필요한 액비로도 활용이 가능하며, 혐기소화 처리방법은 일반적인 가축분뇨 처리과정에서 발생되는 악취문제도 해결할 수 있는 장점 또한 가지고 있다. BGP는 유기성 폐기물에서 혐기성소화를 통해 바이오가스를 만드는 장점이 있는 반면, 가스를 만들고 남은 소화액은 액비로 활용이 가능하지만, 액비로 활용이 불가능할 경우 악성 폐수로 그 처리가 매우 까다로운 단점이 있다. 일반적인 생물학적인 폐수처리방법으로는 처리가 곤란하며, 환경기준을 맞추도록 처리하는데 많은 비용이 소요된다. 이러한 폐액처리를 위해 공정의 단순화와 높은 처리 효율[4]을 가지면서, 액비 또는 정화처리공정이 가능한 방법으로서 분리막공정이 바람직하나, BGP 발생폐액의 성상이 고농도의 오염물질을 함유하고 있어 적용이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 보안할 수 있는 와류발생형 막모듈을 이용하여 Biogas Plant의 발생폐수에 대하여 분리막을 이용한 효과적인 처리공정을 개발하고 그에 따른 최적의 조건을 찾는 연구를 하고자 한다. 와류발생형 막모듈을 막과 막 사이에 와류를 발생시킴으로써 막에 전단력을 가하여 막의 가장 큰 단점인 막오염을 줄이는 방법으로 기존의 막모듈과 큰 차이가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 분리막 모듈[5]과 와류발생형 막모듈의 차이를 실험을 통해 확인하며, 막에 가해지는 압력, 막을 통과하는 유량 등의 차이를 두어 최적조건을 탐색하였다.

A lot of existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are rebuilt or retrofitted for advanced wastewater treatment processes to cope with reinforced effluent criteria of nitrogen and phosphorous. Moreover, how to treat the wasted sludge from WWTPs has been also issued since the discharge of the wasted sludge into ocean is impossible from 2011 due to the London Convention 97 protocol. These trend changes of WWTPs get a motivation to assess environmental and economic impacts from the construction stage to the waste stage in WWTPs. Therefore, this study focuses on evaluation of environmental and economic impacts of the advanced wastewater treatment processes and waste sludge treatment process by using life cycle assessment. Four advanced wastewater treatment processes of Anaerobic/Anoxic/Oxic ($A_2O$), 5 stages-Bamard Denitrification Phosphate (Bardenpho), Virginia Initiative Plant (VIP), and Modified University of Cape Town (MUCT) are chosen to compare the conventional activated sludge (CAS) and three waste sludge treatment methods of land fill, incineration, and composting are used. To evaluate environmental and economic impacts of each advanced wastewater treatment processes, life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) are conducted based on International organization for standardization (ISO) guidelines. The results clearly represent that the $A_2O$ process with composting shows 52% reduction in the environmental impact than the CAS process with landfill. On the other hand, the MUCT process with composting is able to save 62% of the life cycle cost comparing with the CAS process with landfill. This result suggested the qualitative and quantitative criteria for evaluating eco-environmental and economic technologies of advanced treatment processes and also sludge treatment method, where their main influence factors on environmental and economic impacts are analyzed, respectively. The proposed method could be useful for selecting the most efficient and eco-friendly wastewater treatment process and sludge treatment method when retrofitting the existing WWTPs to advanced treatments.

A bioreactor filling with pellets and stones was equipped to the swine manure treatment system, which is expected to emit high concentration of odor in the process of the organic wastewater treatment system, and in comparison with the activated sludge process as the control process, the reactor operation state, treatment water quality and odor emission concentration were measured. The reactor using the bioreactor proved to be much more stable in the bubble condition, treatment water transparency, etc, and BOD removal efficiency was also much better. The removal efficiency of T-N and T-P, however, showed little difference in the two reactors. Odor, as a result of examining $NH_3-N$, $NH_3$ concentratio, and complex odor, was 4 times to 24 times less emitted in the system using bioreactor than in the activated sludge system. $H_2S$, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide were not found or were found in only 5 ppbs in each reactor and showed little difference between the two reactors. In the bioreactor process, Bacillus sp./ Pseudomonas sp. species were mainly found and in the activated sludge process, acterium sp. Chryseobacterium sp. species were mainly found.

A decontamination technology for radioactive liquid wastes was newly developed and hypothetically applied to the liquid waste management system (LWMS) of the nuclear power plant (NPP) to evaluate its decontamination efficacy for the purpose of the fundamental reduction of spent resins. The basic principle of the developed technology is to convert major radionuclide ions in the liquid wastes into inorganic crystal minerals via chemical or biological techniques. In a laboratory batch experiment, the biological method selectively removed more than 80% of cesium within 24 hours, and the chemical method removed more than 95% of cesium. Other major nuclides (Co, Ni, Fe, Cr, Mn, Eu), which are commonly present in nuclear radioactive liquid wastes, were effectively scavenged by more than 99%. We have designed a module including the new technology that could be hypothetically installed between the reverse osmosis (R/O) package and the organic ion-exchange resin in the LWMS of the APR1400 reactor. From a technical evaluation for the virtual installation, we found that more than 90% of major radionuclides in the radioactive liquid wastes were selectively removed, resulting in a large volume reduction of spent resins. This means that if the new technology is commercialized in the future, it could possibly provide drastic cost reduction and significant extension of the life of resins in the management of spent resins, consequently leading to delay the saturation time of the Wolsong repository.

도시화, 산업화로 인해 하수처리장 유입하수 내 질소 농도가 증가하면서 그에 따른 부영양화 발생, 수생태계에 독성을 미치는 등의 악영향 또한 증가하게 되었다. 하수 내 고농도 질소를 처리하기 위해 1990년 초 연구가 시작되어 현재 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 생물학적 질소 제거 공정은 산소공급과 외부탄소원 보충 과정에서 상당한 비용이 소요된다. 이와 같은 문제점이 대두됨에 따라 고도의 질소 제거 공정이 요구되면서, 경제적으로 개선이 이루어져 기존의 질산화·탈질 공정보다 효율적인 혐기성 암모늄 산화 공정(ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation, ANAMMOX)이 제안되었다. ANAMMOX 공정은 혐기성 조건 아래 전자공여체와 전자수용체로써 암모니아성 질소와 아질산성 질소를 이용해 질소가스 형태로 질소를 제거하는 공정이다. 질산화·탈질 공정과 비교했을 때, 폭기과정에서의 산소요구량 감소, 외부탄소원 불필요, 질소 제거 과정 단축 등의 장점을 가진다. 본 연구는 수처리공정에서의 ANAMMOX 공정의 적용 가능성을 확인하고, 암모니아성 질소대비 아질산성 질소 비율에 따른 Mainstream ANAMMOX 공정의 효율 비교를 통해 공정의 안정성과 높은 제거효율을 확보할 수 있는 NH₄⁺ 대비 NO₂^- 비율을 도출하는데 목적이 있다. 실험실 규모의 Mainstream ANAMMOX 반응조에 적용한 비율은 선행연구를 비롯한 화학양론식에서 제시된 비율을 바탕으로 산정하였다. 1.00부터 1.30의 전체적인 비율을 Initial과 Advanced 2개의 구간으로 나누어 운전한 결과, 각 구간의 NH₄⁺ 제거효율은 각각 58~86%, 94~99%였다. NH₄⁺ 대비 NO₂^- 비율이 증가함에 따라 공정의 안정성이 확보되고, NH₄⁺ 및 총질소(TN) 제거효율이 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 수처리공정에서의 안정적인 ANAMMOX 공정 적용을 유도하고, ANAMMOX 공정의 성능개선을 도모하는 연구의 기초로 활용될 수 있다.

In this study, Fenton reaction was studied for the possibility of applying as advanced treatment and its optimal condition for the removal of refractory organics from the dye wastewater. Fenton reaction was applied to remove refractory organics after the bio-treatment (secondary treatment) inside test laboratory and on-site pilot plant. Wastewater from the secondary treatment was used and its $COD_{Mn}$ was measured as 30~50mg/L. After the Fenton reaction, the optimal condition was found as pH 3~3.5, reaction time 2~2.5hr, chemical input ratio of ($FeCl_2$(33%)/$H_2O_2$(35%)) was 3 : 1. When chemical input ratio of ($FeCl_2$(33%)/$H_2O_2$(35%)) was at its optimal, amount of sludge volume ($SV_{2hr}$) was 21~28%. With pilot plant test, removal rate was heavily influenced by the hydraulic retention time(HRT), and optimum value of HRT was 2.0 hr. When pilot plant($2m^3/d$) was placed on-site and operated continuously, it showed steady and fairly good treatment of COD where COD removal rate was 60~70%, treated water showed below 20mg/L.
