Nitrifying bacterial community structures of suspended and attached biomasses in a full-scale integrated fixed-film activated sludge process were investigated by analyzing 16S rRNA gene sequences obtained from pyrosequencing. The suspended biomass had a higher number of ammonia-oxidizing bacterial sequences (0.8% of total sequences) than the attached biomass (0.07%), although most of the sequences were within the Nitrosomonas oligotropha lineage in both biomasses. Nitrospira-like nitrite-oxidizing bacterial sequences were retrieved in the suspended biomass (0.06%), not in the attached biomass, whereas the existence of Nitrobacter-like sequences was not evident. The suspended biomass had higher nitrification activity (1.13 mg N/TSS/h) than the attached biomass (0.07 mg N/TSS/h). Overall, the results made it possible to conclude the importance of the suspended biomass, rather than the attached biomass, in nitrification in the wastewater treatment process studied.

Recently, an autotrophic single-stage nitrogen removal (ASSNR) process based on the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) reaction has been proven as an economical ammonia treatment. It is highly evident that double-layered gel beads are a promising alternative to the natural biofilm for ASSNR because of the high mechanical strength of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/alginate structure and efficient protection of ANAMMOX bacteria from dissolved oxygen (DO) due to the thick outer layer. However, the thick outer layer results in severe mass transport limitation and consequent lowered bacterial activity. Therefore, the effects of the thickness of the outer layer on the overall reaction rate were tested in the biofilm model using AQUASIM for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and ANAMMOX bacteria. A thickness of 0.5~1.0 mm is preferred for the maximum total nitrogen (TN) removal. In addition, a DO of 0.5 mg/L resulted in the best total nitrogen removal. A higher DO induces NOB activity and consequent lower TN removal efficiency. The optimal density of AO B and NO B density was 1~10% for a 10% ANAMMOX bacterial in the double-layered PVA/alginate gel beads. The real effects of operating parameters of the thickness of the outer layer, DO and concentrations of biomass balance should be intensively investigated in the controlled experiments in batch and continuous modes.

Contribution of immobilized media with bacteria to the odor removal was evaluated in a lab scale bio-filter compared to that with sponge or ceramic media without the immobilized bacteria. Candida tropicalis for volatile organic compounds and ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) for inorganic compounds were used as seeds in lab-scale bio-reactors. Three different type of media in the bio-reactors that immobilized bioreactor (IBR), sponge bioreactor (SBR), and ceramic bioreactor (CBR) were examined, respectively. An empty bed contact time (EBCT) of the bio-filters was fixed as 60 seconds, and the inlet concentration of toluene was changed from 20 ppm to 200 ppm to observe the removal efficiency depending on the concentrations. As a result, the maximum elimination capacities of IBR, SBR, and CBR were 166 $g/m^3/hr$, 138 $g/m^3/hr$, and 138 $g/m^3/hr$, respectively. In addition, toluene as an organic compound and ammonia as an inorganic compound were applied together with different inlet concentrations varied from 80 ppm to 250 ppm of toluene and from 2.5 ppm to 40 ppm of ammonia. The toluene maximum elimination capacities in IBR, SBR, and CBR were 97.4 $g/m^3/hr$, 59.5 $g/m^3/hr$, and 81.9 $g/m^3/hr$, respectively. The ammonia maximum elimination capacities were reached as 7.2 $g/m^3/hr$ in IBR, 6.6 $g/m^3/hr$ in SBR, and 7.0 $g/m^3/hr$ in CBR.

질소는 하수처리과정에서 제거되어야 하는 주요 오염물질 중의 하나이며, 세균 군집을 이용한 고도처리 시스템에서 생물학적 질소제거는 중요한 기술이다. 질산화반응은 생물학적 질소제거 시스템의 첫 단계로 미생물에 의해 진행된다. 암모니아는 암모니아산화세균에 의해 아질산염으로 산화되며, 그 후에 아질산염은 아질산염 산화세균에 의해 질산염으로 산화된다. 실험실 규모의 생물학적 질소제거 시스템인 변형된 eBAF 시스템, Nutrient removal laboratory 시스템과 반추기법을 적용한 rSBR 시스템의 질산화반응조 시료에서 16S rRNA 유전자를 이용한 terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) 방법으로 아질산염 산화세균군집을 분석하였다. 제한효소로 형성된 단편의 클러스터분석에서 Nitrobacter 군집은 각각의 폐수처리 시스템에 따라 군집의 차이가 있음이 나타났다. 그러나 Nitrospira 군집의 클러스터분석에서는 액체와 담체의 서식지 환경 차이에 의해 군집이 구분되었다.

The effect of temperature and influent alkalinity/ammonia (K/A) ratio on the start-up of the partial nitrification (PN) process for an activated sludge-based domestic wastewater treatment was studied. Two different sequence batch reactors (SBR) were operated at 26 ℃ and 32 ℃. The relationship between temperature and the concentration of free ammonia (FA) and free acid nitrite (FNA) was investigated. A stable PN process was achieved in the 32 ℃ reactor when the influent ammonium concentration was lower than 150 mg-N/L. In contrast, the PN process in the 26 ℃ reactor had a higher nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) and ammonium removal efficiency (ARE) when the influent ammonia concentration was increased to more than 150 mg-N/L. Then three different ranges of the K/A ratio were applied to an SBR reactor. In the K/A range of 2.48~1.65, the SBR reactor achieved the highest NAR ratio (75.78%). This ratio helps to achieve the appropriate level of alkalinity to maintain a stable pH and provide a sufficient amount of inorganic carbon source for the activity of microorganisms. At the same time, FA and FNA values also reached the threshold to inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) without a significant effect on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). Results showed that the control of temperature and K/A ratio during the start-up period may be important in establishing a stable and steady PN process for the treatment of domestic wastewater.

본 연구에서는 PCR-DGGE 기법을 이용하여 DO 농도에 따른 동시 질산화.탈질 반응조 내 미생물 군집 변화 양상을 규명하고자 하였다. DO 농도의 변화에 따른 eubacteria의 군집 변화 해석 실험에서, DO 농도를 2와 1 mg/L로 운전한 반응조 내의 band profile은 거의 유사하게 관찰되었으며 5종의 우점화 미생물(Uncultured Bacterium 3종, Bacillus sp. 1종, Uncultured Bacteroidetes sp. 1종)을 포함한 16종의 미생물을 동정할 수 있었다. 그리고 DO 농도 0.5 mg/L로 운전한 반응조 내의 DGGE 결과 7종의 우점화 미생물(Uncultured Bacterium 5종, Zoogloea sp. 2종)을 포함한 12종의 미생물을 동정할 수 있었으며, DO 농도 0.1 mg/L로 운전한 반응조의 경우 3종의 우점화 미생물(Uncultured Bacterium 1종, Zoogloea sp. 2종)을 포함한 11종의 미생물을 동정할 수 있었다. 반응조 내 DO 농도의 변화에 따른 $\beta$-AOB($\beta$-Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria)의 군집 변화 해석 실험 결과, 하나의 band를 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 band는 Uncultured Nitrosomonas sp. done DNB Y20와 97%의 유사도를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 2, 1, 그리고 0.5 mg/L의 DO 농도에서 추출한 sample에서는 선명하게 관측되었으나, 0.1 mg/L DO 농도에서 추출한 sample에서는 선명도가 현저히 감소하였다. 이는 NH$_4{^+}$-N의 질산화 양상과 상관관계가 있음을 보였다. 반응조 내 DO 농도에 따른 탈질 bacteria의 군집 변화 해석실험 결과, 다섯 개의 band(nirS를 함유하는 Uncultured organism 미생물 3종, nirK를 함유하는 Uncultured bacterium 미생물 2종)가 관측되었으며 관측된 band 중 한 band는 DO 농도가 낮아질수록 선명도가 현저히 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 band에 해당하는 미생물은 86%의 유사도를 가진 Uncultured organism clone eS1 cd1 nirS gene, partial cds로, 본 연구의 탈질 반응에 직접적으로 관여 하는 미생물로 사료된다.
