The feasibility of simultaneous phosphorus and nitrogen removal by enhancing anoxic phosphorus uptake was investigated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). By introducing an anoxic phase into an anaerobic-aerobic SBR (AO SBR), significant amounts of denitrifying phosphorus accumulating organisms (DPAOs) which can utilize nitrate as electron acceptor could be accumulated in the reactor (anaerobic-aerobic- anoxic-aerobic SBR, $(AO)_2$ SBR). A direct comparison of phosphorus uptake rate under anaerobic and aerobic conditions showed that the fraction of DPAOs in P-removing sludge were increased from 10% in the AO SBR to 64% in $(AO)_2$ SBR. The $(AO)_2$ SBR showed stable phosphorus and nitrogen removal efficiency: average removal efficiencies of TOC, total nitrogen, and phosphorus were 92%, 88%, and 100%. respectively. Results of the $(AO)_2$ SBR operation and batch tests showed that nitrite (up to 10 mg-N/L) was not detrimental to anoxic phosphorus uptake and could serve as good electron acceptor like nitrate.

Laboratory experiments were aimed to evaluate the effect of nitrate as a electron acceptor during the biological phosphorus uptake and to investigate the microbial community. Anaerobic-anoxic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) compared the removal behaviour to anaerobic-oxic SBR, both SBRs maintained lower effluent quality with 1.0 mgp/1. Anaerobic-anoxic SBR was able to remove additional 5.0 to 7.0 mg (P+N)/ι than other biological nutrient removal (BM) system. Therefore, it was proposed that the anaerobic-anoxic SBR was more effective at weak sewage. From the results of the maicrobial community analysis, it can be inferred that denitrifying bacteria and polyphosphate accumulating bacteria coexist in anaerobic-anoxic SBR during stable condition for removing the nitrogen and phosphorus. Particularly, it was suggested that the Zoogloea ramigera in the $\beta$-subclass of proteobacteria and the Alcaligenes defragrans of the Rhodocyclus group in the $\beta$-subclass of proteobacteria played a major role for removing the nitrogen and phosphorus as dPAOs (denitrifying phosphate accumulating organisms).

축산물의 수요가 증가함에 따라 가축의 사육규모 및 두수도 증가하여 가축분뇨의 발생량이 증가한다. 가축분뇨는 일반하수에 비해 고농도의 유기물, 질소, 인 등의 오염물질이 포함되어 있다. 적절한 처리 없이 하수처리장 및 수계로 유입될 경우 하수처리장 처리 효율에 영향을 미치거나 부영양화 등 다양한 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 아질산화 반응을 이용하는 다양한 공정들이 연구되고 있다. 아질산화 반응은 완전 질산화 반응에 비해 질산화 단계에서 약 25%의 산소요구량이 절감되고, 탈질 단계에서 약 40%의 탄소원이 절감되는 경제적 장점이 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 부피 8L의 실험실 규모 아질산화 반응조 원통형 아크릴로 제작되었고, 서울 A하수처리장 미생물을 채취하여 사용했다. 또한 SRT의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 35℃ 동일 온도를 유지했다. 반응조 슬러지 반송 및 폐기가 없는 완전 혼합 반응조로 SRT와 HRT가 동일하게 운전하는 방법을 사용하여 SRT를 조절하는 방식으로 운전했다. SRT의 경우 8일, 6일, 4일, 2일의 변경조건을 통해서 차이를 살펴보았다. Ammonia Removal Rate(%)의 경우 각각 86%, 86%, 87%, 24%의 효율을 보였고, Nitrite Conversion Rate(%)의 경우 각각 10%, 45%, 80%, 41%의 효율을 보였다. 35℃ 실험실 규모 반응조에서 가축분뇨 유입 원수의 아질산화 반응을 유도하기 위해서는 SRT운전 조건은 4~8일, 고효율의 아질산화 반응을 유도하기 위해서는 SRT 4일 조건이 적합하다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 실제 가축분뇨 처리 효율 상승을 위해서 아질산화 공법을 도입할 경우 중요한 자료로 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The study purpose was to examine an effect of zero emission of excess sludge on biological reactor and treated water quality within the biological reactor in the process of biological treatment combined with excess sludge reduction system with ozone. Under an ozone injection rate 0.03 g $O_3/g$ SS, Sludge Disintegration Number (SDN) 3 and less than pH 4 as pre-treatment process, it was possible to maintain a stable biological treatment process without sludge disintegration. In the test of $OUR_{max}$, of sludge, its value was hardly under the condition of ozone injection rate 0.03 g $O_3/g$ SS. There were almost no changes of MLVSS/MLSS within biological reactor followed by a solubilization of excess sludge. Accumulation of microorganism within biological reactor was also not observed. After solubilization of excess sludge, an increase for organic matter and SS concentrations of an effluent was not observed and T-N concentration was reduced by increasing nitrification and denitrification rate within biological reactor. Most of T-P was not removed by zero emission of excess sludge and was leaked by being included in effluents.
