The kernel of wastewater treatment by activated sludge is elimination of organic substances and maintenance of well-flocculated sludge sedimentation. By the conventional activated sludge treatment, the optimum F/M ratio of soybean wastewater treatment was 0.24 (kg-BOD/kg-MLVSS day) and sludge bulking was generated at 0.48 (kg-BOD/kg-MLVSS day). To improve the treatment capacity and operation quality in higher loading of soybean wastewater, influent pH was constantly controlled by 9.0 using NaOH as a coagulant agent. In this process, higher loading up to 2.88 (kg-BOD/kg-MLVSS day) was possible and SVI was maintained under 150 without bulking. This was equivalent to 7.2 times higher than maximum permissible load of the conventional activated sludge process.

본 연구는 활성슬러지공법의 침전조를 막으로 대체하여 고액분리를 효과적으로 수행하도록 하는 막분리 활성슬러지 공법에 관한 것이다. 이와같은 방법은 공정자체가 간략화되는 동시에 종래법에서 슬러지 팽화(bulking)등에 의해 침전조에서 SS carry-over, 슬러지 침강성 향상을 위한 고부하처리의 곤란성, 침전조 처리수에의 SS 유출등 고액 분리의 문제점을 해소하므로, 여과, 응집침전, 혹은 활성탄흡착등의 고도처리설비없이 양질이 처리수를 얻을 수 있다고 보고 되고 있다.

Treatability and maximum no inhibitory effect concentration of benzene were measured in the synthetic wastewater medium by the activated sludge in the continuous activated sludge reactor. The maximum no inhibitory effect concentration was 1, 600mg per liter. Benzene concentration over 500mg per liter inhibited the growth of microorganims by the measurment of E/BOD, and the treatability of benzene at the maximum no inhibitory effect concentration was over 95%.

A dynamic model was applied to compare the environmental parameters and effluent characteristics of refinery wastewater in activated sludge treatment. The measured DO, pH, MLSS, and COD values were compared with the simulated their results in the activated sludge reactor. As results of simulation. good agreements between the measured and simulated results were investigated. The simulated and measured effluent COD were 19.0~19.4mg/L and 23.1mg/L. respectively. The simulated and measured DO were 1.9~2.4mg/L and 2.2mg/L. respectively.

Effect of various factors on the phenol degradation by activated sludge immobilized with the photocrosslinked resin were investigated. The optimum pH on the degradation of phenol in both free and immobilized activated sludge was 7. A higher rate of phenol degradation was observed when a bead size, vas smaller. The phenol degradation in the free activated sludge was inhibited at the 3000 mg/L of phenol, while that in the immobilized activated sludge was maintained at the same concentration for 28 hrs without an inhibition.

The purpose of this study is to examine the basis of design condition of existing treatment processes, namely, Extended Aeration Process, Conventional Activated Process, High Rate Aeration Process and Modified Aeration Process, by clarifying the correlations of influent wastewater concentration, hydraulic retention time, food-to-microorganism ratio and sedimentation of sludge, as well as to ascertain the feasibility of design, regardless of the existing design condition. In particular, this study made a priority investigation of hydraulic retention time and sludge sedimentation, because sludge sedimentation is the main factor$^{1)}$ which determines the operating conditions of existing treatment processes. Therefore, it is generally known that in case exceeds the sphere of design presented for each treatment, sludge bulking may occur. The results of Lesperance's test$^{1)}$, which formed the basis of design, showed the sphere of loading without security of sludge sedimentation, as in Fig. 1. The reason for sludge bulking in a certain condition, as above, is due to failure in application of optimum loading corresponding to each retention time by employing a few operating condition, which proved to be consecutively workable after years of trials and failures by Lesperance, for test conditions. However, the result of this test showed that in case of proper maintenance of loading. sludge sedimentation can be ensured under 120 SVI. Therefore, this study suggested hydraulic retention time and its corresponding optimum loading, and identified the hydraulic retention time as a determinant of sludge sedimentation. And. on the basis of these findings, this study suggested the feasiblity of UHR(Ultra High Rate), a new operating process, exceeding several times the applicable loading value of High Rate Aeration Process under one hour retention time which has not yet applied to the existing treatment processes.

We have investigated biosorption kinetics and equilibrium of $Pb^2+$ and $Cr^2+$ using waste sludge, and separation efficiency of waste sludge by dissolved air flotation was evaluated in the various A/S ratio. The biosorption capacity and contact time were shown as a simulation of biosorption equilibrium and kinetics models. Biosorption equilibrium of the $Pb^2+$ and $Cr^2+$ onto the waste sludge could be fitted by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, and Koble-Corrigan equation. The kinetics could be fitted by a pseudo-second-order rate equation more than a pseudo-first-order rate equation. The separation efficiency of waste sludge using DAF was kept above 90%.

A generated problem in treated highly concentrated organic wastewater by activated sludge process is the limitation of biomass concentration and oxygen transfer capability in aeration tank. To overcome the limitation, the deep shaft activated sludge process which has high oxygen transfer capability was applied to the wastewater treatment process. This paper investigated the characteristics of liquid circulation, oxygen transfer and biological treatment of paper mill wastewater by the deep shaft activated sludge process. From the obtained results, it was found that the oxygen transfer capability in the deep shaft system was much greater than those in the conventional aeration systems and almost tantamount to the pure oxygen system. The deep shaft system could treat highly concentrated organic wastewater by higher biomass concentration and organic loading rate.
