중금속류, VOCs 및 다이옥신류를 포함한 특정대기유해물질 처리기술은 상당히 미량의 오염물질을 처리하는 것이고 높은 처리효율을 필요로 한다. 따라서 공정 또한 일반적인 대기오염물질 처리공정의 조합을 최적화 하거나 첨가제나 반응제를 추가 투입하는 등 필요에 따라 추가적인 공정을 설치하는 것이 대부분이다. 기존 공정의 변형을 통하여 일반대기오염물질의 처리효율을 높이고 목표로 하는 특정대기오염물질을 일부 제거할 수는 있으나 다양한 특정대기오염물질을 고효율로 처리하기 위해서는 개별물질에 대한 단위장치의 개발보다는 복합적인 장치의 개발이 필요하고 또한 경제성이 있다.

국내 대기오염물질 배출에 대한 규제는 단계적으로 강화되고 있으며, 2005년 이후에는 한층 강화된 배출허용기준치가 적용될 예정이다. 오염물질 배출시설을 보유한 각 산업체에서는 이러한 정부의 대기오염물질 규제 방안에 대처하기 위해 고효율의 오염물질 처리설비를 도입하여야 하며, 이에 따른 비용부담도 증가할 것이다. 따라서 저비용 고효율 오염물질 처리설비의 개발은 현재 대기오염물질제어 연구개발에 있어서 가장 중요한 핵심사항이다.(중략)

Daechung Reservoir has been suffering from severe cyanobacterial blooming periodically due to the water pollutants from the watershed, especially nutrients from nonpoint sources. As a countermeasure, an artificial wetland was constructed to mitigate the pollutant load from the watershed by utilizing the vegetation. We investigated the water quality of the influent and outflow of the wetland during years 2014~2020 to evaluate the performance of pollutant removal through the wetland. Major pollutants (e.g. BOD, COD, SS, T-N, and T-P) were largely reduced during the retention in the wetland while nutrients removal was more efficient than that of organic matters. Pollutant removal efficiency for different inflow concentrations was also investigated to estimate the wetland's capability as a way of managing nonpoint sources. The efficiency of water treatment was significantly higher when inflow concentrations were above 75^th percentile for all pollutant, implying the wetland can be applied to the pre-treatment of high pollution load including initial rainfall runoff. Furthermore, the yearly variation of removal efficiency for seven years was analyzed to better understand long-term trends in water treatment of the wetland. The annual treatment efficiency of T-P was very high in the early stages of vegetation growth with high concentration of inflow water. However, it was confirmed that the concentration of inflow water decreased, vegetation stabilized, and the treatment efficiency gradually decreased as the soil was saturated. The findings of the study suggest that artificial wetlands can be an effective method for controlling harmful algal blooms by alleviating pollutant load from the tributaries of Daechung Reservoir.

A study was conducted to investigate the behavior of pollutant forms at each area in the sewage treatment plant by natural purification method. The sewage treatment plant by natural purification method that consisted of aerobic and anaerobic area was constructed. The efficiency of sewage treatment depending on the operation time, the loading amount of pollutant season variation were investigated. The removal amount of BOD, COD, TOC and SS in the aerobic area was significantly increased as the treatment proceeded. Decreased BOD, COD, TOC, SS, T-N and T-P depending on the loading amount of pollutants in the aerobic and ananerobic area were mostly insoluble BOD (IBOD), insoluble COD (ICOD), soluble TOC (STOC), volatile SS (VSS), dissolved T-N (DTN) and dissolved T-N (DTP) types, respectively. The removal efficiency of BOD, COD, TOC, SS, T-N and T-P in hot season (summer and autumn) were more than that in cold season (spring and winter). The removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, TOC, SS, T-N and T-P of the effluent were about 92, 89, 73, 95, 46 and 84% in all seasons, respectively.

This study evaluates treatment efficiencies of pollutants in Boknae bio-park constructed wetlands surrounding Juam Lake for 5 years from January 2006 to December 2010, in order to treat non-point pollutants effectively. The analysis of monthly treatment efficiency of pollutants shows that the scope of BOD is -19.11~37.72%, and of COD is 30.14~27.38%, thus the monthly deviation COD is relatively higher than BOD, and the scope of SS is -54.07~64.82%. Moreover, the analysis of seasonal treatment efficiency of pollutants shows that the treatment efficiency of TN is higher than 36.8% on average for 5 years in the spring and winter, and of TP relatively lower than other pollutants, however, the seasons don't make much difference to the treatment efficiency of TP.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become an increasing concern in terms of human health risks as well as aesthetic impairment due to their toxicity. The reduction of water pollutants, especially nutrients from non-point sources in a reservoir watershed, is fundamental for HABs prevention. We investigated the pollutant removal efficiencies of a constructed wetland to evaluate its feasibility as a method for controlling non-point sources located in the Annaecheon stream within the Daecheong Reservoir watershed. The overall removal efficiencies of pollutants were as follows: BOD 14.3%, COD 17.9%, SS 50.0%, T-N 19.0%, and T-P 35.4%. These results indicate that constructed wetlands are effective in controlling pollutants from non-point sources. The seasonal variation in removal efficiency depended on the specific pollutants. The removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, and T-N were stable throughout the year, except during winter, which might have been influenced by lower microorganism activity. In contrast, T-P showed a consistent removal efficiency even during the winter season, suggesting that the wetland can reduce external phosphorus loading to the reservoir. Regarding the effects of pollutant loadings on removal efficiency, the effluent concentrations of all pollutants were significantly decreased compared to those in the influent in case of middle and high loadings. This demonstrates that constructed wetlands can handle high pollutant loads, including the initial runoff during rainfall, to prevent reservoir eutrophication. Despite the various strengths of wetland water purification, there are limitations as passive treatment. Therefore, more case studies should be conducted to suggest optimum operational conditions for constructed wetlands, taking into consideration reservoir-specific characteristics.

A field soil highly contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons (JP-8 and diesel fuels) was employed for its remediation by a lab-scale thermal desorption process. The soil was collected in the vicinity of an underground storage tank in a closed military base and its contamination level was as high as 4,476 ppm as total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH). A lab scale directly-heated low temperature thermal desorption (LTTD) system of 10-L capacity was developed and operated for the thermal treatment of TPH contaminated soils in this study. The desired operation temperature was found to be approximately $200-300^{\circ}C$ from the thermal gravimetric analysis of the contaminated field soils. The removal efficiencies higher than 90% were achieved by the LTTD treatment at $200^{\circ}C$ for 10 min as well as at $300^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. As the water content in the soils increased and therefore they were likely to be present as lumps, the removal efficiency noticeably decreased, indicating that a pre-treatment such as field drying should be required. The analysis of physical and chemical properties of soils before and after the LTTD treatment demonstrated that no significant changes occurred during the thermal treatment, supporting no needs for additional post-treatments for the soils treated by LTTD. The results presented in this study are expected to provide useful information for the field application and verification of LTTD for the highly contaminated geo-environment.

환경오염은 인간이 지구상에서 산업활동을 시작한 이래 계속되어 오고 있는 문제인데, 최근에 들어서 전세계적으로 산업화가 가속되고 또한 인구의 급격한 증가로 인하여 매우 심각한 국면을 맞이하고 있다. 환경오염은 원재료를 가공하여 인간의 일상생활에 필요한 물픔을 생산하는 전 산업 영역에서 발생하고 있는데 이러한 환경오염은 토양오염, 수질오염, 대기오염의 세 가지로 분류할 수 있다. 오늘날의 심각한 환경오염은 환경기술이라는 신조어를 만들게 되었는데, 이는 환경오염을 적게 유발시키는 생산공정을 의미하는 저오염 생산기술(clean technology)과 생성된 오염 물질을 분리 회수하는 오염물질 처리기술(cleaning technology)로 대별할 수 있다. 저오염 생산기술은 자동차의 전착공정 등에서 보듯이 오염물질을 최소한도로 배출하게 설계한 'zero discharge' 개념의 생산공정 등에서 실용화되고 있는데, 최근에는 에너지 효율을 향상시켜 궁극적으로 CO$_{2}$의 발생을 억제하려는 시도도 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 하지만 환경기술이라고 부르는 경우 거의 대부분은 생성된 오염 물질을 처리하는 오염물질 처리기술을 의미한다.

To treat non-point source pollution in Juam lake, removal efficiencies of pollutants were investigated in Bongsan constructed wetlands (CWs) at different treatment time, stages and wastewater loads. The constructed wetlands consisted of forebay, $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ wetlands. The concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N, and T-P in inflow were $1.87mg\;L^{-1}$, $1.62mg\;L^{-1}$, $11.47mg\;L^{-1}$, and $4.40mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. The removal rates of BOD, SS, T-N, and T-P in Bongsan CWs were 26, 18, 16 and 9%, respectively. The removal rates of BOD and T-N were higher than those for SS and T-P. The amounts of pollutant removal in Bongsan CWs were higher in the order of forebay > $1^{st}$ wetland > $2^{nd}$ wetland for BOD, forebay > $2^{nd}$ wetland > $1^{st}$ wetland for SS, $1^{st}$ wetland > forebay > $2^{nd}$ wetland for T-N and $2^{nd}$ wetland > forebay > $1^{st}$ wetland for T-P.
