Ozonation and advanced oxidation($H_2O_2/O_3$) process were investigated under various experimental conditions to improve the efficiency of biological filter used for the treatment of recycled wastewater from aquaculture. Ammonia removal followed the first-order reaction whose reaction rate constant(k) was $2.0{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ in ozonation. The ammonia removal rate increased according as the bicarbonate alkalinity is increased. About 46% $NH_3$ was oxidized by ozone at 200 mg/L as $CaCO_3$. When alkalinity existed in wastewater, ammonia removal rate by advanced oxidation was very low due to the inhibition effect of bicarbonate. However, when initial pH was adjusted to about 8.2 by 0.1 N KOH, ammonia removal rate was improved higher than that by ozonation. Especially. ammonia removal rate was the highest at $H_2O_2/O_3$ of 0.25 and about 90% of ammonia was removed in 30 min at this ratio as pH was maintained over 9. In the case of wastewater containing ammonia and organic constituents, ammonia removal efficiency by both ozonation and advanced oxidation decreased seriously because organic constituents consumed the oxidant faster than ammonia. In addition the optimal $H_2O_2/O_3$ ratio was changed. Like ammonia removal, DOC(dissolved organic carbon) increased for first 10 min and then decreased slowly because the particulate organic constituents were oxidized rapidly and then produce DOC. Even when the ammonia concentration by twice, oxidation of DOC was not retarded.

2020년 기준 국내 상수도 보급률은 99.1% 차지하고 있으며(환경부, 2019), 수도관리차원에서 수돗물은 먹는 물로 시판되어질 만큼 우수한 관리체계를 유지하고 있다. 그 반면에 지하수는 생활용수, 식품가공, 농·축산, 양어, 군부대를 비롯한 전국지역에서 연간 10억 8천만톤 용수를 소비하고 있음에도 (환겨례 신문, 2013; 환경부, 2019) 사용되는 지하수의 약 65%가 음용수 불가판정을 받았으며, 최근 지하수의 오염비율은 급격히 증가하는 추세이다. 특히, 지하수관정의 관리부주의에 의한 수질오염 및 수인성 다제내성균(슈퍼박테리아) 등에 의한 오염사례가 국내는 물론, 국제적으로 다수 보고되고 있는 실정이다 (환경부, 2013). 현재 지하수 수질관리는 공공기관 및 지자체 지정기관을 통해 진행되고 있으며, 검사기간은 수질채취로부터 통상 7~15일정도 소요되어 수질 관리 및 기준, 검사주기에 대한 애로가 많다. 현장 지하수관정에서 실시간 수질을 모니터링하고 이에 연동된 자동 수처리 시스템의 개발 및 도입은 나날이 심각해지는 환경오염 상황에서 선제적 예방과 해결방법으로 중요한 요소기술이다. 현재 지하수오염 및 부적합 음용의 수질처리는 화학약품, 필터여과, UV살균, O₃ (플라즈마)을 이용하는 것이 대표적이나, 화학약품의 경우 2차 오염이나 식품 세척 및 가공에 있어 부적합성의 한계점이 있다. 필터여과의 대표적인 RO필터의 경우 약 50% 순손실이 발생하고, UV 살균의 경우 UV에 의한 사용관리자의 위험 및 장비의 광부식 문제, O₃ 의 경우 고압전류 사용에 따른 위험성 등의 한계점이 나타나고 있다. 지하수 수질정화를 위한 광유도 활성산소(¹O₂, ·O^-₂)는 광감응제에 가시광의 빛 조사를 통해 생성되는 활성산소로의 에너지 및 전자 전이가 동시 진행되어 단일항 산소(¹O₂)와 슈퍼옥사이드 이온(·O^-₂)을 생성하게 된다. 생성된 활성산소는 유해미생물 또는 유기화학물과 개열, 제거, 치환 반응 등을 통해 미생물사멸 및 유해화학물질들이 분해 가능하다. 이를 이용한 지하수 유해미생물 사멸기술, 장비, 실시간 지하수의 분석기술 및 정수처리, 지하수 물순환 시스템 개발뿐만 아니라 지하수 음용수 및 오염개선, 지하수 기저유출에 의한 오염원 저감으로부터 지류·지천, 하천 본류 수질개선 등의 대상지역에 활용 가능하다. 또한 광유도 활성산소는 기존 상수도 수처리에 있어 오존(O₃) 처리와 이산화티탄을 이용한 AOP과정을 단일처리 공정으로, 기존 O₃ 의 특성상 확산 거리가 매우 길어 사람을 포함한 생체 내에 유입 시 다양한 부작용 발생과 O₃ 차폐시설 요구의 문제점 극복의 대안으로 환경 및 인체에 무해한 광유도 활성산소 시스템을 적극적으로 도입 및 적용해야 한다. 본 연구 목적은 정류상태 흡광분광기술을 이용한 실시간 수질 모니터링과 광유도 활성산소를 이용한 유해 미생물의 멸균효능 및 지하수 수질관리 기술로의 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

Denitrification by anaerobic bacteria is one of the most common processes of removing nitrate from recirculating aquaculture systems. This process is affected by many factors such as external carbon sources, hydraulic retention time (HRT), and $COD/NO_3-N$ ratio. Although external organic carbon sources are essential for the denitrification process, these also contribute to increase dissolved organic carbon concentration in recirculating aquaculture systems. So these external organic carbons must be removed from the systems. This study was conducted to find out the optimum operating conditions for the removal of external organic carbons in a submerged denitrification biofilter. Combinations of two external carbon sources (glucose and methanol), two HRT (4- and 8-hour), and four different C:N ratios (3, 4, 5, and 6) were used in this experiment. The removal efficiencies of organic carbon sources at 8-hour HRT were always better than those at 4-hour's (P<0.05). Maximum removal efficiencies were achieved when C:N ratio was 5 in both glucose and methanol. The removal efficiencies of methanol were always better than those of glucose. The maximum removal efficiencies of glucose and methanol were 76.5% and 84.0%, respectively and the removal rates were 223.5 $g/m^2/day$ and 247.1$g/m^2/day$. The maximum removal rates of glucose (290.9 $g/m^2/day$) and methanol (355.6 $g/m^2/day$) were achieved at 4-hour HRT and 5 C:N ratio. But the concentrations of SCOD in the effluent of both glucose ($52.5 mg/\ell$) and methanol ($40.9 mg/\ell$) were too high for rearing fish. Therefore, the optimum operating conditions for the removal of external carbon in a submerged denitrification biofilter were 8-hour HRT and 5 C:N ratio. And methanol showed better efficiency as an external carbon sources.
