인공함양은 대수층함양관리 중 하나의 기법이며 하수처리장 방류수의 영향을 직·간접적으로 받은 물을 지하대수층에 함양하여 수질의 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 방류수의 영향으로 인해 다수의 미량유해물질들이 대수층으로 유입됨에 따라 함양 후 회수할 때 이들의 검출이 빈번해졌다. 이에 따라 이 미량유해물질의 제거를 위해 인공함양의 후속 공정으로 나노막 여과를 고려하여 인공함양과 나노막 공정을 통하여 미량유해물질의 거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 인공함양 지하저수지 모사 컬럼을 설계하여 실험하였다. 서울특별시 탄천 하류에서 샘플링한 물을 원수로 사용하였으며 인공함양에 앞서 염소, 과망간산염, 오존의 3종류 산화 전처리를 통하여 그 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 함양기간은 2.5일이었으며 함양 후 나노막 장치를 통하여 최종 유출수를 획득하였다. 인공함양 결과 용존유기물은 45%~63% 수준에서 제거가 되어 인공함양시 용존유기물의 제거가 가능함을 확인하였다. 산화 전처리에 따른 동화가능유기탄소의 증가로 인하여 생분해가 주요 기작인 인공함양 처리를 통하여 동화가능유기탄소의 제거율이 유기용존탄소의 제거율에 직접적으로 영향을 주었음을 알 수 있었다. 미량유해물질로 알려진 과불화화합물의 경우 산화 전처리에 따른 제거는 관찰되지 않았으며 잔류의약물질의 경우 대상 물질의 물리·화학적 특성에 따라 산화시 제거가 가능함을 확인하였다. Iopromide와 같은 조영제의 경우 오존 산화를 통하여 98% 이상 제거되어 산화를 통한 제거가 가능함을 확인하였다. 인공함양시 과불화화합물은 분자량이 큰 PFNA, PFDA, PFOS 등이 제거되었으며 그 제거율은 각각 최대 >99%까지 도달하였다. 분자량이 작은 과불화화합물의 경우 인공함양을 통과하는 경향을 보였다. 잔류의약물질의 경우 생분해가 용이한 물질은 제거가 됨을 확인하였으며 carbamazepine 등 제거가 안 되는 물질은 제거율이 18% 미만으로 확인하였다. 나노막 여과 결과 과불화화합물이 최대 >99%까지 제거됨을 확인하였으며 미량유해물질의 경우에도 대부분의 물질이 제거됨을 확인하였다.

본류와 지류가 만나는 하천 합류부에서 발생하는 복잡한 흐름 구조는 하상변동에 영향을 주며, 본류와 다른 특성을 보이는 지류의 유입은 수질과 수생태계에도 영향을 준다. 합류부는 하천 변화의 다양성을 보이기 때문에 하천 관리 측면에서 중요한 구간으로, 흐름 및 혼합 특성 이해가 중요하다. 합류부에서의 흐름 및 혼합은 본류와 지류의 유량비, 밀도차, 단차, 합류각, 하도형상 등의 영향으로 그 양상이 달라지며, 흐름장 및 두 수체에 의한 이송물질의 혼합이 이루어졌다고 간주하는 혼합거리는 지류가 본류에 미치는 영향 범위 분석을 위한 중요한 매개변수이다. 본 연구에서는 합류부 흐름에 미치는 주요 인자 중 유량비와 밀도차가 합류부 흐름 및 혼합에 미치는 영향을 수치해석을 통해 분석하고, 조건의 변화에 따른 혼합거리를 예측해 보고자 한다. 본 연구의 대상 지역인 낙동강-황강 합류부는 다기능보와 댐의 운영에 따라 유입 유량 및 유량비가 조절되며, 여름철에는 황강의 수온이 낙동강보다 평균 4℃ 이상 낮으며, 9℃(지류 20℃; 본류 29℃) 이상의 수온차가 발생하기도 한다. 이 경우 밀도비는 0.998로 밀도류가 발생할 수 있는데, 밀도류가 발생할 경우 수표면과 저층이 분리되어 흐르기 때문에 동일 유량 조건에서도 혼합 양상은 달라진다. 밀도류가 발생하기 위해서는 수표면과 저층이 분리되는 성층이 발달해야 하는데, 이는 유속 또는 유량의 범위에 따라 성층의 발달 여부가 달라질 수 있다. 이러한 현장 조건을 반영한 수치해석을 통해 다양한 유량 조건(유량비)에서 밀도의 차이(수온차)가 합류부의 흐름 및 혼합에 미치는 영향을 분석해 보고자 하며, 합류부에서 밀도차에 의한 흐름의 변화 조건을 무차원수(Richardson number, Densimetric Froude number 등)를 통해 정량화해보고자 한다. 이는 지류가 본류에 미치는 영향의 정도와 범위를 파악함으로써 하천 관리를 위한 관측망 및 현장 조사의 범위 선정의 기초자료 마련뿐 아니라 본류의 수온 변화가 발생할 수 있는 범위의 파악을 통해 수생태계에 미치는 영향 파악을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A periodic backflushing was performed to reduce the membrane fouling of ultrafiltration for wastewater, and the effect and the optimum condition were investigated in this study. The alumina¬ceramic tubular membrane with pore size of 0.02${\mu}m$ was used for the wastewater treated by coagulation and sedimentation from two paper plants, of which A plant made toilet paper by recycling milk paper cartons and B plant recycled corrugated cardboards. And the effect of periodic backflushing to membrane fouling and quality of permeate were studied with a constant backflushing time of 3 sec. As results of measuring SS, TDS, and COD of source and permeate, the rejection rate of SS showed the highest value at the backflushing period of 15 see, which was the shortest time in these experiments, in case of waste¬water discharged from A plant. However, the rejection rate of COD had the highest value at the period of 30 sec for wastewater from both A and B plant. Then, the rejection rate of TDS was almost same at 30 and 60 sec for A plant wastewater, and the highest at 60 see for B plant. The effect of periodic back¬flushing to membrane fouling was investigated by change of permeate flux according to operating time. The permeate flux decreased slowly at the operation with backflushing, and was higher compared with that without backflushing in both case of A and B wastewater. But, the optimum period with the highest flux of A wastewater was different from that of B, because SS and COD of A was higher than those of Band TDS of B was higher than that of A.

So many nationwide drinking water treatment plants are under much difficulties by new reinforced discharged effluent standards. Generally, the sludge at thickener should be retended for a long time during usual days. Sometime, the soluble manganese and chloroform may be formed under the anaerobic condition in the sludge thickener when the sludge retention time is longer with low turbidity. This phenomenon results in difficulties to keep regulatory level of the discharged effluent. It was necessary to improve the operation conditions and process itself in order to meet water quality standard recently reinforced. For an effort to overcome the problems, a sludge aeration was successfully implemented into the thickening process. Sludge aeration prevent particle oxidated Manganese eluting soluble de-oxidated Manganese, excrete formated Chloroform from effluent to air, and improve sludge settling through homogenized sludge particle. We aerated sludge at the conventional water treatment plant, measured Manganese and Chloroform of clarified water at upper sludge, and solid-fluid interface height of sludge in mass cylinder. As a result, contaminant's concentrations of the final effluent was much decreased : 41% of manganese, approximately 62% of chloroform and 35% of sludge volume, compared with non-aeration sludge.

In order to develop the deep ocean water, the characteristics of vertical distribution of dissolved trace metals(Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) were investigated from Apr. to Oct., 2005 in the East Sea. Total six sampling sites were selected in Gangwon-Do and Gyeongsangbuk-Do. Accuracy of the analytical procedures was assessed by the SRM(CASS-4) for dissolved metals in seawater. The mean recoveries cf CASS-4 ranged from 89.4% for Co to 99.8% for Cd. In this study, the dissolved metal concentrations varied with space, time and element. The metal concentrations showed wide range in the surface. Cd, Ni and Zn showed a nutrient-type profile with surface depletion and enrichment at depths. However, Co, Cu and Pb were irregular in the vertical distribution. All metal concentrations studied in this study are lower than the criteria cf Korean drinking water.

This study was carried out to estimate the performance of modified sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process by the application of SBR process for small advanced wastewater treatment plant. Organic, nitrogen and phosphorus were able to remove in the unit reactor by SBR process and it would be able to select the suitable operation method. The plant was operated to achieve high performance with influent control, optimum anoxic/oxic condition using intermediate aeration method, and solid (sludge) /liquid (effluent) separation by modified decanter. The optimum operating mode was 3Cycles a day and intermediate input and aeration. Under these conditions, the treatment efficiencies were good with 60% of designed flow rate and low influent quality. When the influent concentrations of BOD and CODMn were 120.4 mg/L and 95.7 mg/L, respectively. The effluent concentrations of BOD and CODMn were 6.8 mg/L and 11.0 mg/L, respectively. The average removal efficiencies of BOD and CODMn were 94.4% and 88.5%, respectively. The removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P were 69.6% and 73.6%, respectively when the average T-N and T-P concentrations were 32.2mg/L and 4.65mg/L, respectively. The T-N and T-P removal efficiencies were slightly decreased to 58.8% and 68.5%, respectively in the winter season but its were also stable efficiencies. BOD, T-N and T-P were removed by 90%. 67% and 46% respectively in the first anoxic/oxic condition, in addition to T-P was removed by 70% in the second anoxic/oxic condition. From the results, modified sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process is suitable for small advanced wastewater treatment.

In this study, experiment on phosphorus removal was performed by using microbubble liquid film flotation tank with microbubble module. After dissolving gas and liquid in dissolving tank, microbubble liquid film system created microbubbles in equal size under fixed low pressure. After being passed through $A_2O$ and m-$O_3$ process, secondary treatment wastewater was used as influent in phosphorus removal process. When the T-P concentration of influent was 2.89 mg/L, alum(8%, 30 mg/L) was injected into a microbubble flotation tank, the treatment resulted 94% of T-P removal rate. Remaining T-P concentration was less than 0.2 mg/L, which is in accord with the effluent quality standard. Seasonal variations in water temperature showed no differences in T-P removal property. When the inflow concentration of SS was 1.0 mg/L or more, it served as coagulation nuclei in the coagulation process. In that condition, average T-P removal rate was higher than 97%. When 50% of floated scum was returned, coagulator Al included in scum assisted the injected coagulator and maximized the coagulation efficiency of pollutant. In such treatment, the T-P concentration was measured as 0.18 mg/L and satisfied the outflow water quality standard, which is 0.2 mg/L or less.

This study was conducted to investigate an aeration tank with RBC process attached Bacillus sp. known as a suitable microorganism for the removing of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. An aeration tank was based on tapered aeration because Bacillus sp. was well grown in this like environment conditions. The biofilm process with Bacillus sp. as an advanced treatment process could be a best technology for the prominent removal of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus if the mechanism in the process is verified. The operation conditions of DO in the tapered aeration tank were maintained as $1.2{\sim}1.5mg/L$ in aeration tank1, as $0.3{\sim}0.5mg/L$ in aeration tank 2 and less than 0.2 mg/L in aeration tank 3, respectively. Lab-scale experiments were conducted, at room temperature, internal recycle rate was from 200% to 50% and returned sludge rate was from 100% to 50%. As a result, concentration of organic carbons, nitrogen and phosphorus in Period 1 (the time of Bacillus sp. adapted to environment) were decreased gradually. Ultimately, each removal rate in this biological experiment were TCODCr 94%, BOD 87%, T-N 85%, T-P 89% in Period 2. Hence, this process showed an excellent performance of the removal of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus and this is an effective system fur treating of wastewater.

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.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of an adsorption process in removing organic matter and micropollutant residuals. After a full-scale water circulation system, the adsorption process was considered a post-treatment step. The system, treating anthropogenically impacted surface waters, comprises a hydro-cyclone, coagulation, flocculation, and dissolved air flotation unit. While the system generally maintained stable and satisfactory effluent quality standards over months, it did not meet the highest standard for organic matter (as determined by chemical oxygen demands). Adsorption experiments utilized two granular activated carbon types, GAC 830 and GCN 830, derived from coal and coconut-shell feedstocks, respectively. The assessment encompassed organic materials along with two notable micropollutants: acetaminophen (APAP) and acid orange 7 (AO7). Adsorption kinetics and isotherm experiments were conducted to determine adsorption rates and maximum adsorption amounts. The quantitative findings derived from pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models suggest the effectiveness of the adsorption process. The findings of this study propose the potential of employing the adsorption process as a post-treatment to enhance the treatment of contaminants that are not satisfactorily treated by conventional water circulation systems. This enhancement is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of urban water cycles.
