Objective of the research is to deteonine the praeLic따 running parameters for neutralization and removal of heavy metals from plating wastewater with waste-oyster shells by the Bohart$.$Adams equation. Waste-oyster shells discharged from the d domestic oyster cultnring fields cause a serious ocean environmental pollution. However, it is expected that those are able to b be recycled for removal of heavy metals through neutralization of plating wastewater because the shells contain approximate 93% $CaCO_3$, and have multi-pore voids. By applying the results of the continuous experiments to Bohart-Adams equation, s service time decreases in the order of Cr>Fe>Cu while removal efficiencies of metals become less in the order of Fe>Cr>Cu.

This study was performed to investigate removal efficiency of wastewater by the prepared coagulant using waste oyster shell and loess. Waste oyster shell and loess contain respectively high CaO(55.43% by weight), $SiO_2$(45.30% by weight). Waste oyster shell was calcined to improve the purity of CaO at the calcination condition of $900^{\circ}C$ for 2hours, and then crushed 0.074 mm(200mesh) size by ball mill. Also, coagulant was prepared with calcined waste oyster shell and loess powder by hydration reaction. Calcined waste oyster shell and loess powder were combined with mixing ratio of 6 : 4, 7:3, 8:2 and 9:1. Though comparison experiment between prepared coagulant and chemical )$Ca(OH_2$, prepared coagulant was proved as having replaceable possibility of chemical )$Ca(OH_2$in wastewater treatment plant.

In this study, various batch tests were performed to examine the utilization of waste oyster shells for removal of $PO_4^{3-}-P$ in livestock wastewater, because waste oyster shells have been known to be very porous and to have alkaline minerals such as calcium and mangnesium. $PO_4^{3-}-P$ removal rate were increased by waste oyster shells, as specific surface area and contact efficiency per unit area of their were increased. Generally, it could be showed that $PO_4^{3-}-P$ removal rate were very influenced by particle size, dosage and temperature. At low pH of initial reactions, it would be showed that $PO_4^{3-}-P$ removals were directly influenced by adsorption but crystallization process were dominated with passed time and pH increasing. The SEM observed that the variations were hardly seen, but particle sizes of waste oyster shell were relatively big after reactions and showed forms of smaller plate than before reactions.

Objective of the research is to estimate neutralization capacity and to determine practical running parameters required in packing tower design of waste oyster shells using Bohart-Adams equation. It is expected that waste oyster shells are able to be recycled for removal of heavy metals through neutralization of plating wastewater because those contain approximate 93% $CaCO_3$. By applying the results of the continuous experiment to Bohart-Adams equation, service time decreases in the order of Cr>Fe>Cu, while removal efficiencies of metals become less in the order of Fe>Cr>Cu.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of stabilization for army firing range soil highly contaminated with Pb (total Pb: 29,000 mg/kg) using calcined waste oyster shells. The calcination was conducted to activate quicklime from calcite. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of calcination, both natural oyster shells (NOS) and calcined oyster shells (COS) were applied to the Pb contaminated soil. Stabilization was conducted by mixing the contaminated soil with oyster shell media at 5-20 wt% and cured for 28 days. Following 28 days of curing, Pb leachability was measured based on the Korean Standard Test method (0.1 N HCl extraction). The treatment results showed that the COS treatment outperformed the NOS treatment. All of the NOS treatments failed to meet the Korean warning standard of 100 mg/kg. However, the Pb concentrations were significantly reduced to 47 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg upon 15 wt% and 20 wt% COS treatments, respectively which passed the Korean warning standard. Moreover, -#20 mesh materials were more effective than the -#10 mesh materials in effectively reducing Pb leachability. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results indicated that Pb immobilization was strongly linked to Al and Si.

This study was carried out to evaluated for dewaterability of sewage sludge using waste oystershell and loess. The Jar-Test and the Buchner funnel test were proceeded for the assessment of dewaterability of a thickened sludge and digested sludge. TTF(Time to Filter), SRF(Specific Resistance to Filtration) were adopted as the valuation indices of sludge dewaterability. Dewatering conditioner which composed of both oystershell and loess is much dewaterable than the one composed of only oystershell. In the course of combining with oystershell and loess, the following fact was found that the dewaterability of the combination which have the higher ratio of oystershell than that of loess is superior. The most suitable oystershell :loess ratio of dewatering conditioner is 9:1 in treating both thickened sludge and digested sludge.

본 연구에서는 토양을 충진한 컬럼을 사용하여 질산화 반응을 촉진시키기 위한 첨가제에 따른 효과를 검토하였다. 토양만을 충진한 컬럼에서는 $NH_{4-}$/N의 약 26%가 질산화 되었으며 제올라이트를 첨가 하였을 때 실험초기에는 $NH_{4-}$/N가 유출되지 않다가 20일 이후부터 $NH_{4-}$/N의 농도가 증가 하기 시작하였으며 이는 제올라이트에 의한 흡착능력의 저하로 사료된다. 폐굴껍질 20% 충진한 토양컬럼에서는 실험 95일까지 99.7%의 질산화율을 보았다. 위의 결과로부터 알 수 있듯이 토양컬럼에 폐굴껍질과 제올라이트를 첨가제로 충진하였을 경우 질산화 반응을 촉진시켜서 질산화율을 높일 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The material properties of waste oyster shell, which is largely generated from the treatment of marine products, have been investigated for its possible utilization as an adsorbent for fluoride ion-containing wastewater. The major composition of waste oyster shell was analyzed to be $CaCO_3$ and loss of 46% in weight reduction occurred during its thermal treatment by the emission of moisture and $CO_2$. The surface structure of oyster shell was decomposed by the heating and its surface potential was negatively increased with pH. As the pH of wastewater was increased, the adsorbed amount of fluoride ion onto oyster shell was decreased and the wastewater was found to be neutralized during adsorption process by ${CO_2}^{3-}$ which generated from the partial dissolution of oyster shell
