조류는 호소의 부영양화 현상을 발생시킬 뿐 아니라 전반적인 정수처리공정에 많은 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 그 중에서도 조류 세포와 조류유래 유기물질(Algogenic Organic Matter; AOM)은 휴믹물질처럼 염소 소독 시 유해성 물질인 소독부산물질(Disinfection By-Products; DBPs)을 형성하는 전구물질이다. 본 연구는 전 염소처리와 응집공정에 의한 조류유래 유기물질의 제거특성 변화를 확인하였으며, 또한 부영양화된 호소수 처리 공정으로 철(III)을 이용한 고도응집공정과 UV산화 공정의 적용성을 평가하였다. 전 염소처리공정은 조류제거에는 효과적이지만 수중의 DOC(Dissoluble Organic Carbon)농도와 TMHs(Trihalomethanes) 생성량을 증가시켰다. 응집실험에서는 응집 반응 pH가 조류유래 유기물질과 소독부산물질 제거에 있어 중요한 인자로 작용하였으며, 중성 pH에서 보다 낮은 반응 pH 5에서 DOC, THMs 제거율이 각각 50%와 28% 향상되었다 조류유래 유기물질과 THMs제거에 있어 UV 산화 공정을 적용한 결과, $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{3+}$ 공정이 가장 효과적이었지만, 반응 pH를 조정한 고도응집공정보다는 효과적이지 않았다.

Formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) including trihalomethans (THMs), haloacetic acid (HAAs), haloacetonitriles (HANs) and others from chlorination of algogenic organic matter (AOM) of Microcystis sp., a blue-green algae. AOM of Microcystis sp. exhibited a high potential for DBPs formation. HAAs formation potential was higher than THMs and HANs formation potential. The percentages of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) formation potential were 43.4% and 51.4% in the total HAAs formation potential. In the case of HANs formation potential, percentage of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) formation potential was 97.7%. Other DBPs were aldehydes and nitriles such as acetaldehyde, methylene chloride, isobutyronitrile, cyclobutanecarbonitrile, pentanenitrile, benzaldehyde, propanal, 2-methyl, benzyl chloride, (2-chloroethyl)-benzene, benzyl nitrile, 2-probenenitrile and hexanal.

The objective of this study was to assess the variation in the concentration of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) in a drinking water resource, and investigate the characteristics of AOC derived from algae. The seasonal change in AOC at the Kamafusa dam corresponded to changes in the algal cell number. In order to understand the relationship between AOC and algae in a water resource and water purification plant, two kinds of laboratory experiment were performed. The algal culture experiment showed that extracellular organic matter (EOM) that was released during the growth of Phormidium tenue with M-11 medium led to significant increases in the AOC concentration, but no significant variation in the AOC concentration was observed with CT medium containing a high dissolved organic carbon concentration. The chlorination experiment showed that the AOC included in EOM was not easily removed by chlorination, although the AOC included in intercellular organic matter released from the algal cells by chlorination was removed under conditions where residual chlorine was detected.

During low-pressure membrane treatments of cyanobacterial cells, including microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF), there have reportedly been releases of intracellular compounds including cyanotoxins and compounds with an earthy-musty odor into the water, probably owing to cyanobacterial cell breakage retained on the membrane. However, to our knowledge, no information was reported regarding the effect of growth phase of cyanobacterial cells on the release of the intracellular compounds. In the present study, we used a geosmin-producing cyanobacterium, Anabaena smithii, to investigate the effect of the growth phase of the cyanobacterium on the release of intracellular geosmin during laboratory-scale MF experiments with the cells in either the logarithmic growth or stationary phase. Separate detection of damaged and intact cells revealed that the extent of cell breakage on the MF membrane was almost the same for logarithmic growth and stationary phase cells. However, whereas the geosmin concentration in the MF permeate increased after 3 h of filtration with cells in the logarithmic growth phase, it did not increase during filtration with cells in the stationary phase: the trend in the geosmin concentration in the MF permeate with time was much different between the logarithmic growth and stationary phases. Adsorption of geosmin to algogenic organic matter (AOM) retained on the MF membrane and/or pore blocking with the AOM were greater when the cells were in the stationary phase versus the logarithmic growth phase, the result being a decrease in the apparent release of intracellular geosmin from the stationary phase cells. In actual drinking water treatment plants employing membrane processes, more attention should be paid to the cyanobacterial cells in logarithmic growth phase than in stationary phase from a viewpoint of preventing the leakage of intracellular earthy-musty odor compounds to finished water.

오염 하천수 수질개선 연구를 위해 pilot plant 규모의 호기성 생물여과 공정을 이용하여 실제원수를 적용한 경우 유입 공기량을 $0.1m^3air/m^2min$으로 고정하고 EBCT를 90, 60, 45, 30 min으로 운전 시 입자성 물질(SS, Turbidity, Chl.-a)의 경우 EBCT와 관계없이 80% 이상의 처리효율을 나타냈으며 암모니아성 질소의 경우 85% 이상의 처리효율을 보였다. BOD의 경우 하천수수질 환경기준 III-IV 급수로 유입되어 I 급수 미만으로 유출되 본 처리 공법 사용 시 생물학적 안정성을 충분히 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. $COD_{Mn}$의 경우 약 60%의 제거효율을 보여 BOD 제거율에 비해 효율이 저하되는 것으로 나타났는데 이러한 원인을 규명한 결과 전체 COD 물질 중 30% 정도가 반응기 내부에 clogging된 조류에 의해서 발생되는 것으로 조사되었으며 이들 조류기원성 유기물들의 기질 비 소비율이 $0.0245mg{\cdot}COD_{Mn}/mg{\cdot}VSS{\cdot}day$로 생물학적 분해가 거의 되지 않는 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 대책으로 부분역세(partial backwashing)에 대한 필요성이 요구되었다. 이에 부분역세(상부 1 m 여재에 대한 1일 1회 역세)를 통해 BOD 5.5%, $COD_{Mn}$ 10% 정도의 제거율 상승을 얻을 수 있었고 이를 통해 생물학적으로 좀더 안정된 원수 확보가 가능해졌으며 역세 기간의 연장으로 역세수 절감 및 유량 확보 효과를 가져 올 것으로 판단된다.

Microcystis sp.의 부패과정에서 수중으로 용출되는 AOM 특성과 염소 이들에서의 disinfection by-products (DBPs) 생성특성을 조사하였다. 수중으로 용출된 EOM과 cell + IOM에서의 염소 DBPs 생성특성을 조사한 결과, EOM은 보관기간 초기부터 지속적으로 증가하였으나 cell + IOM의 경우는 급격한 감소경향을 나타내었으며, 생성된 DBPs 중 HAAFP가 가장 높은 생성비율을 나타내었다. 또한, 이 때의 DBP 구성종들의 변화를 살펴본 결과, HAA 구성종들의 경우는 EOM에서는 di-HAA 구성종들의 비율은 점점 감소하였고 tri-HAA 구성종들의 비율은 점점 증가하였다. 그러나 cell + IOM의 경우는 EOM의 경우와는 반대 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, HAN 구성종들의 경우는 EOM과 cell + IOM 모두 di-HAN 구성종들의 생성비율이 월등히 높았다.

Cell walls of microalgae consist of a polysaccharide and glycoprotein matrix providing the cells with a formidable defense against its environment. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of microalgae is primarily inhibited by the chemical composition of their cell walls containing biopolymers able to resist bacterial degradation. Adoption of pre-treatments such as thermal, thermal hydrolysis, ultrasound and enzymatic hydrolysis have the potential to remove these inhibitory compounds and enhance biogas yields by degrading the cell wall, and releasing the intracellular algogenic organic matter (AOM). This paper preproposal stage investigated the effect of different pre-treatments on microalgae cell wall, and their impact on the quantity of soluble biomass released in the media and thus on the digestion process yields. This Paper present optimum approach to degradation of the cell wall by ultra-sonication with practical design specification parameter for ultrasound based pretreatment system. As a result of this paper presents, a microalgae system in a wastewater treatment flowsheet for residual nutrient uptake can be justified by processing the waste biomass for energy recovery. As a conclusion on this result, Low energy harvesting technologies and pre-treatment of the algal biomass are required to improve the overall energy balance of this integrated system.
