마이크로 크기 상업용 칠 분말의 반응성 향상을 위한 변수로 포기 반응 조건인 pH 조절과 산 세척을 통한 철 분말의 표면처리를 선정하고 질산성 질소를 처리대상오염 물질로 선택하여 철 분말에 의한 질산성 질소 처리 실험을 수행하였다. 산을 이용한 초기 pH조절에 의한 반응성 향상 실험에서 가장 좋은 pH 조절제는 염산이었으며 critical pH는 2 였고 산 세척에 의한 반응성 향상 실험에서는 산 세척한 철 분말의 반응성이 그렇지 않은 철 분말보다 현저하게 좋았으며 황산의 세척능이 염산보다 더 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 초기 반응조건의 조절과 철 분말의 산 세 척을 통한 전처리로 기존의 마이크로 크기 상업용 철 분말이 지닌 반응성의 향상을 꾀하였으며 수중의 질산성 질소 처리실험을 통하여 최적의 반응조건을 확립하였다.

Nitrate reduction with zero valent iron $(Fe^0)$ has been extensively studied, but the proper treatment for ammonium byproduct has not been reported yet. In groundwater, however, ammonium is regarded as contaminant species, and particularly, its acceptable level is regulated to 0.5 mg-N/L. for drinking water. This study is focused on developing new material to reduce nitrate and properly remove ammonium by-products. A new material, Fe-loaded zeolite, is derived from zeolite modified by Fe(II) chloride followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Batch experiments were performed without buffer at two different pH to evaluate the removal efficiency of Fe-loaded zeolite. After 80 hr reaction time, Fe loaded zeolite showed about $60\%$ nitrate removal at initial pH of 3.3 and $40\%$ at pH of 6 with no ammonium release. Although iron filing showed higher removal efficiency than Fe-loaded zeolite at each pH, it released a considerable amount of ammonium stoichiometrically equivalent to that of reduced nitrate. In terms of nitrogen species including $NO_3-N$ and $NH_4^+-N$, Fe-loaded zeolite removed about $60\%\;and\;40\%$ of nitrogen in residual solution at initial pH of 3.3 and 6, respectively, while the removal efficiency of iron filing was negligible.

Reductive reactivity of zero-valent iron nanoparticles was investigated for removal of nitrate-nitrogen which is considered one of the major water pollutants. To elucidate the difference in reactivity between preparation methods, iron nanoparticles were synthesized respectively from microemulsion and aqueous solution of ferric ions. Iron nanoparticles prepared from microemulsion were deposited on aluminum by electrophoretic method, and their reaction kinetics was compared to that of the same nanoparticles suspended in aqueous batch reaction. With an approximation of pseudo-first-order reaction, rate constants for suspended nanoparticles prepared from microemulsion and dilute aqueous solution were $3.49{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ and $1.40{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$, respectively. Iron nanoparticles supported on aluminum showed ca. 30% less reaction rate in comparison with the identical nanoparticles in suspended state. However, supported nanoparticles showed the superior effectiveness in terms of nitrate-nitrogen removal per zero-valent iron input especially when excess amounts of nitrates were present. Iron nanoparticles deposited on aluminum maintained reductive reactivity for more than 3 hours, and produced nitrogen gas as a final reduction product of nitrate-nitrogen.

This study is on the denitrification process using the sodium alginate and $CaCl_2$ as a flocculant. Removal techniques of nitrate nitrogen from waste water are reverse osmosis, ion exchange, electro dialysis and biological method etc. We tried to remove nitrate nitrogen with flocculation and sedimentation method in the present study. Calcium alginate is expected to form a chelate bond with nitrate nitrogen in the solution. So the effects of flocculantt component, flocculation reaction time, molar ratio of the flocculant, flocculant injection rate are studied to determine the best removal rate of nitrate nitrogen. In addition, we tried to determine the nitrate nitrogen removal mechanism by analyzing the structure and component ratio of the configuration after the agglutination precipitate by FE-SEM and EDS. As a result, the nitrate nitrogen removal mechanism is turned out to form calcium-nitro-alginate, and the best mole ratio of flocculating agent is 1 : 1, the injection rate of the flocculant was up to 2%, the removal rate of the nitrate nitrogen to be 56.7% in the synthetic wastewater.

In this study, we investigated the activity of Pd and Cu co-incorporated on mesoporous silica support such as MCM-41 and SBA-15 for catalytic nitrate reduction in water. In pure hydrogen flow, nitrate concentration was gradually decreased with the reaction time, but nitrogen selectivity was too low due to very high pH of reaction medium after the reaction. In order to acquire high nitrogen selectivity, we utilized carbon dioxide as a pH buffer, which resulted in higher nitrogen selectivity (about 40%). For the above reaction conditions, Pd-Cu/MCM-41 showed better performance than Pd-Cu/SBA-15. The physicochemical properties of both catalysts were investigated to figure out the relationship between the characteristics of the catalysts and the catalytic activity on the catalytic nitrate reduction by $N_2$ adsoprtion-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), $H_2$-temperature programmed reduction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques.

충북 괴산군-보은군 일대를 따라 발달된 중부 옥천대의 구룡산층과 운교리층 분포지역에서, 기반암에 따른 지하수의 수질특성의 차이를 규명하고자 하였다. 2002년 11월에 18개 지점에서 지하수 시료를 채취하였고, 이를 분석하여 기반암에 따른 지하수의 수질을 분류하였다. 구룡산층 시료와 운교리층 시료 모두 Ca-(HCO$_3$+ CO$_3$) 유형의 수질특성을 보였다. 군집분석의 결과 기반암의 종류에 따라 수질특성이 나됨을 알 수 있었다. 수질 분석결과를 국내 먹는물 수질기준와 비교 하였을때, 질산성 질소 항목만 기준치를 초과하였다. 질산성 질소의 경우, 국내 먹는물 수질기준인 10 mg/L를 초과한 시료는 한 지점이었지만, 인간 활동에 의해 오염된 것으로 여겨지는 2 mg/L이상의 시료는 전체 18개 시료 중 61%인 11개 지점으로 나타나, 이 연구지역에서 인간활동에 의한 질산성 질소의 오염이 진행되고 있음을 추정할 수 있었다.

전기분해법을 이용하여 수용액 중의 질산성 질소의 환원거동에 대한 연구를 통하여 수용액중의 질산 함량을 제어하는 연구를 수행하였다. 촉매전극을 채택한 복극전해조에서 30분의 조업에 질산 100ppm 이하의 저농도 용액은 70%, 300ppm 이상의 고농도의 경우는 90%까지 질소를 용이하게 제거할 수 있었다. 초기 질소농도가 증가하면서 한계전류밀도도 크게 증가하였으며, pH가 감소할수록 환원전류가 증가하였다. 그리고 수용액의 pH는 질소 환원반응기구에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 판명되었으며, 산성에서는 질소형태로 중성 혹은 염기성에서는 암모니아 형태로 환원되는 것으로 추정된다.

It is a well known fact that baseflow discharge of rainfall runoff impacts on water quality of surface water significantly. In this paper, impacts of nitrate discharged as base flow on stream water quality were studied by using a software, PULSE from USGS to calculate monthly ground water discharge from hydrograph. We used water quality and flow rate data for Ghapcehon2 site in Daejeon city for year 2005 as well as ground water quality data in the watershed acquired from government agencies. Agricultural and forestry land use are dominant for upstream of Ghapcheon2 in the watershed. Base flow contributes about 85~95% of stream flows during spring and fall while 25~38% of stream flow was induced by base flow during summer and winter. Monthly nitrate loading discharged as base flow for Ghapcheon2 was estimated by using averaged nitrate concentration of groundwater in the watershed. Nitrate loading induced by base flow at Ghapcheon2 was estimated as 5.4 ton of $NO_{3}{^-}-N/km^{2}$, which is about 60% of nitrate loading of surface water, 9.2 ton of $NO_{3}{^-}-N/km^{2}$. Seasonal variation of nitrate concentration of base flow was estimated by dividing monthly nitrate loading by monthly base flow discharge. Nitrate concentration of groundwater was increasing from rainy season. From this study, it can be understood that ground water quality monitoring is important for the proper manage of surface water quality.

The effect of humic acid on the simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate was investigated in a micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF). At the low molar ratio of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) to contaminants, the removal of nitrate was lower to 50％ by 100 ppm of humic acid due to the competition for binding on micelles. At the molar ratio higher than 3, however, the removal of nitrate was over 80％. Phosphate was removed over 80% at the molar ratio higher than 1. The CPC and humic acid were rejected over 99 ％ by UF membrane. The flux did not decrease by 100 ppm of humic acid but rather slightly increased since the humic acid adsorbed on the membrane made the membrane more hydrophilic. As a result, humic acid did not diminish the performance of MEUF in the simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate.
