해양 투기가 금지되면서 혐기소화를 통해 최종적으로 발생되는 폐기물 양을 줄이고 메탄 등의 바이오 가스를 얻어 이를 에너지로 얻기 위한 많은 공정들이 현장에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 혐기 소화 과정을 마친 후 유출되는 유출액은 고농도의 유기물질 및 암모니아성 질소, 인산염 등을 다량으로 함유하고 있어 적은 양이라도 하천이나 호수 등에 유입되면 수질 악화와 부영양화를 초래할 위험성이 크다. 이번 연구에서는 음식물류 폐기물로부터 바이오가스를 생산하기 위한 혐기소화 공정에서 발생하는 유출액의 방류수 수질기준 확보와 경제성을 만족시킬 수 있는 처리공정의 상용화 기술을 개발하기 위해 생물학적 처리， 물리 화학적 처리를 통합한 공정을 적용하였다. P건설사 혐기소화 유출액 pilot plant(1 ton/day) 운전 결과 50~70% 로 $NO_2$-N 이 약 1,000 mg/$\ell$정도로 축적되는 현상을 보였으며 상대적으로 $COD_{Cr}$의 농도는 400~600 mg/$\ell$로 C/N 비가 낮아 탈질이 어려울 것으로 판단하였다. 이에 실험실 규모에서의 실험을 진행하였다. $NO_2$-N와 $NO_3$-N을 기준으로 McCarty 양론비 기준 80% 에서 300%까지 메탄올을 주입해 제조 폐수와 실제폐수로 실험을 진행하였고 제조폐수로 실행된 실험에서 아질산 탈질의 효율을 확인하였다. 미생물이 메탄올에 순응 후 완전 탈질에 걸리는 시간은 약 2.5 일로 확인 되었으며 메탄올이 추가로 주입되지 않은 반응조의 $NO_2$-N의 탈질량은 메탄올이 이론값 100% 주입 된 반응조에 비해 30% 이하의 처리 효율을 나타냈다. 이론값을 기준으로 메탄올이 100% 주입된 반응조는 약 96.1%의 탈질 효율을 보였으며 메탄올 순응 후에 약 1.5 일의 HRT가 단축되었기 때문에 메탄올에 장시간 순응 시 탈질 효율이 더 좋아질 것으로 보인다. 아질산탈질에 대한 실험실 규모 연구결과를 토대로 pilot plant에서 재현성 검토를 목적으로 운전을 수행하였다. 무산소조의 HRT는 2.7 일 이었으며 호기조의 HRT는 4.1 일 이었다. 유입수의 평균 $COD_{Cr}$ 농도는 2,878 mg/L, T - N 농도는 2,723 mg/L로 나타났으며 $NO_2$-N 기준 C/N비 1.2-1.8의 메탄올을 주입하였을 때 96% 이상의 탈질율을 보였다.

A laboratory experiment was conducted to find out the denitrification rate upon the different levels of nitrogen fertilizer in submerged sandy soil. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The highest denitrification rate was observed at 25 days after incubation. The amount was reached at 1830 ug/100g soil for 20mg nitrogen was applied in 100g soil. 2. Increases of fertilizer nitrogen was enhanced the rate of ammonification and nitrification during the incubation time. 3. Deep correlation was observed between the denitrification capacities which was determined as nitrous oxide and Mitchaelis-Menten kinetic with relation to nitrate concentration. More higher denitrification rates were observed in Mitchaelis-Menten kinetic than dentrification rate with determined as nitrous oxide. 4. A Zero order (with relation to nitrate concentration) kinetic model for denitrification was presented in this experiment condition to illustrate the variability of nitrous oxide concentrations in the submerged soil atmosphere.

This study aims to examine the modified $A^2/O$ process is useful to reduce the environmental pollution caused by nutrient in wastewater. Specific results are as follows: The removal rate was evaluated at each time period, ie., 18h, 8h, 6h, and 3h after the reaction started. The anoxic rate was more than 94-97% from 18h to 6h but was less than 50% before 6h. Thus, the test of nitrification was done using 6h as the optimal anoxic retention time and the aerobic retention time set at 24h. When the flow change was 1:1, the average ammonia concentration inputted was $30mg/{\ell}$. Returned top nitric acid solution and the concentration of ammonia solution falling into the anoxic reactor was about 50％ of the initial concentration, and the flow change was 1:2, the concentration of ammonia falling into the anoxic reactor was about 62% of that of influxed ammonia. And the results of this study showed that the nitrogen removal rate can be improved by inputting untreated nitric acid and changing the flow of top nitrate solution using the modified $A^2/O$ method.

The government has recently come up with a policy to tighten regulations on air pollutant emissions due to public concerns over the emission of pollutants such as fine dust. The coal-fired power plant is speeding up the improvement of the performance of environmental facilities, and this paper deals with the cases of performance improvement by adding a catalyst to the 500 MW standard coal-fired power DeNox system, and examines the change in the performance factors according to the addition of catalysts and the efficiency of NOx removal. The DeNOx efficiency before and after improvement increased from 80% to 88%, and the conversion rate of SO2/SO3, ammonia slip which are performance factors satisfied the design assurance value, but exceeded the design assurance value for differential pressure. At the same time, the ammonia slip concentration and differential pressure items increased as the NOx removal efficiency increased, resulting in the need for management and improvement.

네덜란드 브리젠빈 하폐수처리장 최종방류수의 $NH_4$-N 및 TN(Total Nitrogen)농도를 방류수 수질기준인 각각 4 mg/L와 10 mg/L에 맞추기 위한 최적의 운전조건을 도출하기 위해 다양한 제어시스템이 시뮬레이션 되었다. 본 연구에 사용된 모델은 IWA(International Water Association) 활성슬러지 모델 No.1 (ASM No.1)이었고, GPS-X가 시뮬레이터로 사용되었다. 모델링을 위한 매개변수 민감도 분석결과 ASM No.1의 총 19개 매개변수 중 8개 변수 ($Y_H$, ksh, koh, $b_H$, ${\mu}_a$, $k_{NA}$, kh, ka)가 방류수 수질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었고 이들 매개변수에 대해 보정을 수행하여 사용하였다. SRT, 호기/무산소기간, 외부탄소원 주입시간 변화에 따른 방류수질 변화를 시뮬레이션하였는데, 호기/무산소 11h/1h인 조건에서 SRT가 20일에서 25일로 증가되면 $NH_4$-N가 5.0 mg/L에서 2.9 mg/L로 감소되었고 호기/무산소 2h/1h의 조건에서는 SRT증가에 따라 $NH_4$-N은 큰 감소를 보이지만, 바이패스되는 유입수량의 감소로 탈질율이 낮아 방류수 TN이 11.1~11.5 mg/L로 예측되는 결과가 도출되었다. 탈질율을 높이기 위한 아세트산 주입은 동일한 양의 아세트산을 무산소 전기간 (1h)동안 균일 주입하는 것 보다는 무산소 초기 15분내에 주입하는 것이 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

Anaerobic denitrification in a two phase anaerobic digestion(TPAD) process combined with biological nutrients removal (BNR) system was studied for a piggery wastewater treatment. Denitrification efficiency and the effects of the nitrified effluent on acidification was investigated by recycling the nitrified effluent to the acidogenic reactor. Recycle of the nitrified effluent to the acidogenic reactor enhanced the conversion efficiency of the influent COD into volatile fatty acids(VFAs) in the TPAD-BNR system treating the piggery wastewater. Acidification rate of the acidogenic sludge acclimated with the nitrified effluent showed 6 times higher than that acclimated without it. VFA could be used for denitrification as carbon sources, however, nitrate could enhance acidification activity in the acidogenic reactor. VFA production rate was affected on the COD/Nitrate(COD/N) ratio, however, it depended much more whether the acidogenic sludge acclimated with nitrate or not. Denitrification with the acidogenic sludge acclimated without nitrified effluent followed zero-order reaction and the reaction rate constants were in the range of 1.31$\sim$1.90 mg/L$\cdot$h. Denitrification reaction rate constants of the acidogenic sludge acclimated with nitrified effluent were 3.30 mg/L$\cdot$h that showed almost twice of them evaluated from the previous tests. The stoichiometric ratios of utilized COD to removed nitrate showed similar in both tests which were in the range of 5.1$\sim$6.4 at COD/N ratio of 10.

The independent anoxic reactor was introduced in biological aerated filters as the regulation of water quality requirement, especially total nitrogen, had been strengthened. The process studied in this work was upflow $Biobead^{(R)}$ process which was used commercial invented for removal of organic materials and nitrification. For the purpose of evaluating the independent anoxic reactor, PCR-DGGE, of the molecular biological methods, was performed. Two types of nitrite reductase genes were selected. One is nirS represented cytocrome $cd_1$ nitrite reductase gene and the other is nirK represented Cu-containing nitrite reductase gene. Denitrifier community in the independent anoxic reactor was analyzed with PCR-DGGE using these two denitrifying functional genes. As the result of the PCR, only nirS gene was detected between nirS and nirK. With the result of the DGGE, specific bands became strong, as the operating days were longer, nitrate loading rate was increased. otherwise those of the initial activated sludge showed various bands. In the consequence of the sequence of DGGE bands, various denitrifiers were sequenced in the initial activated sludge, while specific denitrifiers like alcaligenes faecalis were predominant in the anoxic reactor. Consequently, introduction of the independent anoxic reactor made it possible to achieve 96% denitrification efficiency, and was proper for the modification of BAF process.

The purpose of this study was to select an effective and economical alkali source for sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification. Tests on acid neutralization and denitrification at various alkali/sulfur mixing ratios were performed for charcoal, briquette ashes, sea shell, and limestone. The results of the experiments showed that sea shell was the most effective alkali source because it could provide more surface area than limestone, and the optimal alkali/sulfur mixing ratio was 1/1(V/V). In a sulfur/sea shell packed bed reactor, the denitrification efficiency was above 90% up to a loading rate of 116 g $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3-day$. but the denitrification efficiency deteriorated to 48% at the loading rate of 145 g $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3-day$. The average $SO_4{^{2-}}$ generation per g of $NO_3{^-}-N$ removed was 7.02 g, which is lower than the theoretical value of 7.54 g. Denitrification and sulfate generation appeared to be a first-order and a zero-order reaction with a reaction rate constant of 0.146 /hr and -53.1 mg/L-hr, respectively. According to nitrogen mass balance, 71~109%, with an average of 90%, of the removed nitrogen was recovered as $N_2$ gas.
