운전 온도 $35^{\circ}C$, 평균 유기물부하 $3.1{\;}kgCOD/m^3/day$ 및 수리학적체류시간 10일에서 혐기성 연속회분식공정에 의한 분뇨처리를 수행하였다. 공정의 평가는 대조 소화조로 완전혼합형의 소화조와 병행하여 수행되었다. 본 실험에서 분뇨는 고농도의 암모니아성 질소와 침전성 고형물을 함유하고 있음에도 불구하고 희석 없이 소화가 가능하였다. 혐기성 연속회분식공정에서 고형물은 급속하게 증가하여 완전혼합형의 대조 소화조에 비하여 소화조내 고형물(biomass)의 농도가 2.4배로 증가하였고, 가스발생량에 있어서도 대조 소화조에 비해 현격한 증가를 보였으며 그 증가율은 205~220%에 달했다. 부가적인 침전 시설이 없이도 혐기성 연속회분식공정의 유출수질이 대조 소화조 보다 높게 나타났는데 상징액 기준으로 휘발성고형물 제거율은 혐기성 연속회분식공정이 대조 소화조 보다 12~14% 높았다. 한편, 혐기성 연속회분식공정의 운전인자로 반응/침강비(R/T ratio)를 조사한 결과 R/T비가 1인 경우가 3의 경우보다 가스발생량, 메탄함량 및 유기물 제거율이 약간 높았으나 큰 차이는 없었다. 위의 실험결과들로부터 혐기성 연속회분식공정은 고농도의 암모니아성 질소와 침전성 유기물을 함유하고 있는 분뇨의 처리에 효과적이고 안정적인 공정으로 판단된다.

Using the whole cell immobilized glucose isomerase which was prepared in the previous work (Korean J. Food Sci. & Technol., 11(3), 192 (1979), the specific activity of the immobilized enzyme was 48.1 units in the batch reaction system and 114 units in the continuous reaction system per g of matrix, respectively. In the continuous reactor the voidity was 0.36, which was suitable for the packed bed reactor. This immobilized enzyme showed a good operational stability of 115 days of half life which was sufficient for the continuous operation. The experimental result showed that 55 % of the substrate was converted to the product in the packed bed reactor. The productivity was dependent on the flow rate, column geometry, enzyme loading, and substrate concentration. An intrapaticle diffusion was observed by the effectiveness factor of 0.75 and interparticle diffusion by the decrease of Km' with increasing the superficial velocity.

In order to elucidate the relationship between the sludge retention time(SRT) and the toxicity of heavy metals, such as copper (Cu), cadmium(Cd), and zinc(Zn), in sequencing batch reactor(SBR) process, IC50 was estimated with measuring of INT-dehydrogenase activity in variable SRTs. When the concentrations of heavy metals were increased, the activity of INT-dehydrogenase was gradually decreased indicating the heavy metals inhibit bacterial activity. Cu showed higher toxicity than Zn and Cd. $IC_{50}$ of Cu, Cd, and Zn ranged from $0.37\sim1.96$ mg/L, $15.4\sim16.9$ mg/L, and $9.70\sim23.4$ mg/L, respectively. The toxicity of Cu and Zn was reversely proportional to the length of SRT. It is probably caused by the increased concentration of extracellular polymeric substances in longer SRT which absorb heavy metals. Therefore, the operation of SBR with increased SRT is desirable in treatment of industrial wastewater containing heavy metals.

A contactor coupled sequencing batch reactor composed of pre-anoxic contact zone and intermittently aerated zone was proposed and operated for nitrogen removal. Emphasis was placed on the fact that the contactor can be operated in a rapid reaction mode that results In biological uptake but incomplete metabolism of organic matter. Consequently, 61.2% of the sewage SCOD was adsorbed to activated sludge by 30-minute contact reaction. The specific uptake of organic matter was 22.3 mg SCOD/g MLVSS that enhanced the denitrification efficiency in the following denitrification stage. The removal efficiencies of the organic matter(SCOD) and the total nitrogen(T-N) were 86% and about 60% at the TCOD/TKN ratio as low as 6.0, respectively.

As the sequencing batch reactor process is a time-oriented system, it has advantages of the flexibility in operation for the biological nutrient removal. Because the sequencing batch reactor is operated in a batch system, respiration rate is more sensitive and obvious than in a continuous system. The variation of respiration rate in the process well represented the characteristics of biological reactions, especially nitrification. The respiration rate dropped rapidly and greatly with the completion of nitrification, and the maximum respiration rate of nitrification showed the activity of nitrifiers. This study suggested a strategy to control the aeration of the sequencing batch reactor based on respirometry. Aeration time of the optimal aerobic period required for nitrification was daily adjusted according to the dynamics of respiration rate. The aeration time was mainly correlated with influent nitrogen loadings. The anoxic period was extended through aeration control facilitating a longer endogenous denitrification reaction time. By respirometric aeration control in the sequencing batch reactor, energy saving and process performance improvement could be achieved.

As aeration is an energy-intensive process, its control has become more important to save energy and to meet strict effluent limits. In this study, predictive aeration control based on the respirometric method has been applied to the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process. The variation of the respiration rate by nitrification was great and obvious, so it could be a very useful parameter for the predictive aeration control. The maximum respiration rate due to nitrification was about 60 mg O₂/L·h and the maximum specific nitrification rate was about 7.5 mg N/g MLVSS·h. The aeration time of the following cycle of the SBR was daily adjusted in proportion to that which was previously determined based on the sudden decrease of respiration rate at the end of nitrification in the respirometer. The aeration time required for nitrification could be effectively predicted and it was closely related to influent nitrogen loadings. By the predictive aeration control the aerobic period of the SBR has been optimized, and energy saving and enhanced nitrogen removal could be obtained.

The respirometric technique has been used to analyze the nitrification process in a sequencing batch reactor(SBR) treating municipal wastewater. Especially the profile of the respiration rate very well expressed the reaction characteristics of nitrification. As the nitrification process required a significant amount of oxygen for nitrogen oxidation, the respiration rate due to nitrification was high. The maximum nitrification respiration rate, which was about $50mg\;O_2/L{\cdot}h$ under the period of sufficient nitrification, was related directly to the nitrification reaction rate and showed the nitrifiers activity. The growth rate of nitrifiers is the most critical parameter in the design of the biological nutrient removal systems. On the basis of nitrification kinetics, the maximum specific growth rate of nitrifiers in the SBR was estimated as $0.91d^{-1}$ at $20^{\circ}C$, and the active biomass of nitrifiers was calculated as 23 mg VSS/L and it was about 2% of total biomass.

This study was performed to investigate the characteristics of nutrient removal by Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) system, which could achieve high removal efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus and make it possible convenient management and operation. In this study, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen, and phosphorus in SBR system were examined by variation of anoxic-oxic phase repetition in order to optimize an operational method. The 1~4 times of anoxic-oxic phases (Run 1~4) were repeated during 1 cycle operation period. As the repetition frequency increased, it was more difficult to maintain DO condition enough for denitrification. The SBR system showed high COD removal efficiency more than 91% regardless of operational condition. About 68% of nitrogen removal rate was obtained in conditions of 2 or 3 times repetition of anoxic phases, in which NOx-N among discharged total nitrogen account for more than 99%. Approximately 40% of phosphorus was eliminated in the conditions of 1~3 times of anoxic phase repetition.

Lab scale experimental study was carried out for SBR process, to investigate the effects of influent ship sewage organic compound removal and Bacillus sp. state on design parameters. This process was able to remove nitrogen and phosphorus as well as organic matter efficiently. More than 95% of chemical oxygen demand(COD) were removed. In addition, about 97% of total nitrogen (T-N) was reduced. The total phosphorus(T-P) reduction averaged 93%. The performance load of SBR process was shown to be 0.095kg ${\cdot}$ TOC/$m^{3}$ ${\cdot}$ day. The pH was decreased from 8.1 to 7.0 within 30 min and increased to 7.3 at the end of anoxic stage, and these phenomena were explained. The sluge produced in the SBR process is characterized by low generation rate (about 0.36kg ${\cdot}$ MLSS/kg ${\cdot}$ TOC) and excellent settleability. The number of Bacillus sp. in the SBR was 24.2%, indicating that Bacillus sp. was a predominant species in the reactor.
