This study was initiated to evaluate the effect of HRT(hydraulic retention time) on removal efficiencies of organic matter (C), nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) in municipal wastewater for suspenced-growth processes(MLE; Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) and hybrid process(Modified-Dephanox). M-Dephanox process was designed to improve the performance of Dephanox process on denitrification efficiency. As the results, removal efficiencies of C, N and P in M-Dephanox process, which is hybrid process, were higher than those in MLE, which is suspended-growth process. Especially, nitrification inhibition of MLE was observed more severely than M-Dephanox as hydraulic retention time was reduced from 6 hr to 3.5 hr. Nitrification in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox, at short HRT, was so excellent that ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency in nitrification reactors of M-Dephanox was about 92% at 1.59 hr of HRT of nitrification reactors, however, nitrification in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox was affected severely by organic matter entering to nitrification reactors from downstream settler. It was observed that reducing of HRT in whole process resulted from reducing of HRT in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox.

본 연구에서는 국립환경과학원에서 체계화된 유역 및 하천환경 DB 구축을 통해 국내 모든 하천에 대한 수리 수문학적 기초자료를 표준화기 위해 만들고 있는 한국형 Reach File을 통하여 경안천 유역에 대해 QUAL2E 모형을 이용하여 수질모의 하고자 한다. 수질 모델링의 적용 사례를 살펴본 바에 따르면 하천을 모델링하기 위해서는 현장 특성 자료의 중요성, 특히 하천수리특성에 관련된 기초 자료의 가용성 여부가 모형의 성패에 매우 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있다. 유량, 유속 및 폭과 깊이로 대변되는 하천 지형은 물질 이송에 대한 주요 외력 함수이며, 다른 모든 예측치 들은 이들에 의존적일 수밖에 없다. 따라서 이들의 정확한 표현은 올바른 수질 예측에 있어서 필수적이다. 국립환경과학원에서 구축하는 한국형 Reach File에는 도형 및 속성자료를 설계하였을 뿐만 아니라, 각 수계별 주요하천에 대한 Reach별로 하상단면정보 및 수리계수를 DB화하여 관리하고 있기 때문에 대상 하천의 유량, 유속 및 수심자료를 일괄적으로 제공을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국형 Reach File을 통하여 경안천유역의 수질을 모의하였다. Reach File에는 경안천 유역의 Reach 별로 수리학적 특성인 하천연장, 하상경사, 조도계수, 수리계수등 QUAL2E 모델의 입력자료등을 제공해 줌으로써 수질모의 과정의 정량화 및 간편화를 가능하게 하였다. 또한 효율성 증대에 기여하는 바가 클 것으로 예상되며 2013년 6월부터 시행되는 한강수계 수질오염총량관리 의무제 시행과 관련하여 보다 과학적이고 정확한 모델링 결과 도출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Most of the sludge pre-treatment methods to improve the anaerobic digestibility of sludge are not practied in the fields with low economical efficiency. The venturi cavitation system (VCS) adopting hydrodynamic cavitation is simple and requires low energy. This research was conducted to investigate the optimum design and operating conditions of the VCS. The experimental results indicated that the optimum number of venturi in series was three, and the suction mode operation of the pump yielded 1.6 times higher pre-treatment efficiency per unit energy consumption than the discharge mode. The combination of venturies with different throat sizes did not affect the pre-treatment efficiency. Also, the parallel installation of the three in series venture unit yielded 30% higher pre-treatment efficiency per unit energy consumption than the single unit. Under parallel conditions, the solubilization efficiency was 5.6 mg ${\Delta}SCOD/g$ TS/kWh, which is higher than the previously reported value.

The purpose of this study is to examine the hydraulic stability of the vegetation mat method on high water revetment. Recently, the river is managed not only for the flood control also for the environmental friendliness. For improving the environmental function of the river, the ecological river restoration projects are being performed. To ensure the stability of flood control, instead of removal of concrete revetment, the vegetation mat method has been widely used on the recovery soil. However, the recovery soil method often failed to be stable against the flood, which has caused the economic loss. In this study, the rate of soil loss is evaluated by the hydraulic experiments. Also, the velocity distribution on high water revetment is analyzed by both the hydraulic and numerical experiments.

This study was initiated to evaluate efficiencies of suspenced-growth processes(CAS; Conventional Activated Sludge, MLE; Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) and hybrid process(Modified-Dephanox) on removal of organic matter(C), nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) in municipal wastewater. M-Dephanox process was designed to improve the performance of Dephanox process on denitrification efficiency. As the results, removal efficiencies of total chemical oxygen demand(TCOD), total nitrogen(T-N) and total phosphorus(T-P) in M-Dephanox process, which is hybrid process, were 12,3, 18.6 and 28.2% higher than those in MLE, which is suspended-growth process. The better removal efficiencies of TCOD, T-N and T-P in M-Dephanox than those in MLE result that M-Dephanox is not only hybrid or multi-sludge process but also process using biosorption mechanism which is possible to use organics in denitrification, effectively. Ammonia removal efficiency in nitrification reactor of M-Dephanox was 96.7% at short hydraulic retention time(HRT) of 2 hr which was 3 hr more short HRT than that(HRT 5 hr) reported in other related papers. This indicates that M-Dephanox process can reduce HRT of whole process.

A numerical variation and abnormalities were studied on egg bags and embryos of Korean salamander, Hynobius leechii from agricultural habitat. The teratogenic and toxic effects of fungicide benomyl were also investigated with early embryos from non-agricultural habitat. We collected 144 egg bags from agricultural region, and 3418 of early embryos were contained. The lengths of egg bags were varied from 10 to 23 cm and the most frequent length was 19 cm. The number of embryos was varied from 7 to 43, and the most frequent range was 22 to 26. Spontaneous abnormalities were occurred in 406 embryos among 116 egg bags, and 24 kinds of external abnormalities were found. Individuals showing severe external defect were histologically studied and they showed optic dyspalsia, thyroid carcinoma, somatic muscular dysplasia, partial biaxial structure, decrease of red blood cells in the heart, cephalic degeneration and intestinal dysplasia. 385 embryos from non-agricultural region were exposed to 200 nM${\sim}$ 1 ${\mu}$M of benomyl at blastula or gastrula for 12 days. All embryo were dead in the concentration of 1 ${\mu}$M (LD$_{100}$) and 75% of embryos were dead in 800nM of benomyl. Speciflc effect due to benomyl was acrania or cephalic dysplasia and this restult suggests that the benomyl inhibit stongly to the development of neural tissue. These abnormal developments may be caused by antimitotic action, inhibition of tubulin complex, destruction of microtubule, inhibitions of neurulation and closing of neural fold, and by the inhibition of the movement of neural crest cells.

최근 들어 치수 기능만을 위한 공학적 효율 위주의 하천관리 정책에서 벗어나 하천의 환경적 기능의 개선을 위한 생태하천으로의 복원사업이 이루어지고 있다. 치수적 안정성 확보를 위해 기 설치된 콘크리트 호안을 철거하는 대신에 복토후 식생매트리스 공법을 통한 자연친화적인 하천공법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 홍수로 부터 제방을 보호하기 위하여 일반적으로 제방 사면에 호안을 설치한다. 설계 홍수량의 규모가 작거나, 상대적으로 규모가 작은 하천에는 호안이 설치되어 있지 않는 경우도 있지만, 국내는 하천계획의 수립시 호안을 설치하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 이와 같은 자연친화적인 하천공법의 적절한 수리학적 기준이 제시되지 않아 홍수기 유실로 인한 경제적 손실이 자주 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 직선수로에 친환경적인 호안을 설치하여 실험을 통하여 하천의 안정성을 살펴보았다.

Treatability tests were conducted to study the feasibility of EMMC process as a recycling-water treatment system in high density seawater aquaculture farm. To study the effect of organic and ammonia nitrogen loading rate on system performance, hydraulic retention time was reduced gradually from 12hr to 10min. The conclusions are can be summarized as follows. When the system HRT was reduced from 12hr to 2hr gradually, there was little noticeable change(reduction) in ammonia nitrogen removal efficiencies. However, removal efficiencies were decreased dramatically when the system was operated under the HRT of less than 2hr. In case of organics(COD), there was no dramatic change in removal efficiencies depending on HRT reduction. COD removal efficiencies were maintained successfully higher than 9％ when the system was operated at tile HRT of 10 min. System performances depending on media packing ratio in the reactors were also evaluated. There were little differences in each reactor performances depending on media packing ratio in reactor when the reactors were operated under the HRT of longer than 1hr. However, differences in reactor performances were considerably evident when the reactors were operated under the HRT of shorter than 1hr. When comparing reactor performance among 25％, 50％,7 5％ packed reactor, it can be judged that media packing ratio more than 50％ plays no significant role in increasing reactor performance. For this reason, packing the media less than 50％ is more reasonable way in view of economic. Such a tendency shown in COD removal efficiencies well agreed with the variation of ammonia-nitrogen removal efficiencies according to the media packing ratio in reactors at each HRT. Difference in effluent ammonia-nitrogen concentration between 50％ media packing reactor and 75％ media packing reactor was negligible. When comparing with the results of 25％ packing reactor, difference was not so great.

낙동강 홍수예경보 시스템은 낙동강 유역의 홍수피해 방지를 위해 1986년에 구축되어 낙동강홍수통제소에서 운영되어 온 이래로 여러 차례에 거친 시스템의 개선 및 보완을 통해 현재의 시스템을 갖추게 되었다. 그러나 4대강 사업을 통해 시행된 하도 준설 및 보 설치로 인한 하도 조건의 변경과 기존의 저류함수모형 및 수위-유량 관계식을 이용한 수위예측의 한계로 인해 낙동강 하도에 대한 수리해석모형 구축의 필요성이 대두되었다. 이에 따라 낙동강 홍수통제소에서는 기존의 저류함수모형을 이용한 강우-유출 해석모형과 낙동강 본류 및 주요 지류에 대한 수리해석 모형을 구축하여 연계하는 과업을 수행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천기본계획의 설계홍수량의 산정시 적용되는 HEC-HMS 모형을 통해 강우-유출해석모형을 구축하고, 낙동강 본류 및 8개 지류에 대해 FLDWAV 모형을 이용해 수리해석 모형을 구축하여 연계하였다. 수자원단위지도의 표준유역과 수위관측소 지점을 기반으로 하여 낙동강 유역을 287개의 소유역으로 분할하였고, 271개의 분할하도 및 10개의 다목적 댐 방류량을 반영하여 강우-유출 모형을 구축하였다. 수치지형도 및 토양도, 토지이용현황도를 통해 유역유출 및 하도유출에 대한 매개변수 산정하였고, 낙동강 본류 및 지류내의 주요 수위관측소를 유량의 검보정 지점으로 설정하였다. 수리학적 모형 구축을 위해 낙동강 본류의 383개의 단면 및 8개 지류의 497개 단면을 반영하였고, 그 이외의 6개 주요 지류는 측방유입으로 처리하였으며 낙동강 본류에 신설된 8개의 다기능보의 운영을 반영하였다. 각각 구축된 강우-유출 모형과 수리학적 모형은 모듈화하여 연계하였으며, 현재 낙동강홍수통제소에서 운영되고 있는 낙동, 왜관, 현풍, 진동, 삼랑진, 구포, 동촌수위관측소를 홍수예보지점으로 선정하여 모형의 검보정을 실시하였다. 구축된 모형은 낙동강홍수통제소의 홍수예보모형의 계산결과와 비교하여 적용성 및 효율성을 입증할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 낙동강에서의 실시간 홍수예 경보를 위한 홍수예보모형으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the hydraulic stability of non-toxic revetment technique for eco-friendly design of the domestic river restoration. Recently, instead of the flood control function-oriented river management policy for the engineering efficiency, the improvement of the environmental performance for the ecological river restoration project is implemented. However, the inappropriate hydraulic design criteria of the new revetment technique happen to the economic losses at flood season frequently. The hydraulic stability of the riprap and the block include the banks of rivers, riverbed protection, scour protection and so on. In this study, the high speed experimental channel was developed, which has the maximum velocity of 3.5 m/s, to perform the hydraulic experiments of the block method with non-toxic glue with various conditions to find the critical velocity of the revetment block for the hydraulic stability.
