A batch and a continuous type experiments were conducted to test the conditions for simultaneous phosphorus release and uptake, and denitrification, taking place in one process. The bacteria able to denitrify as well as to remove phosphorus were evaluated for the application to biological nutrient removal(BNR) process. In the batch-type experiment, simultaneous reactions of phosphorus release and uptake, and also denitrification were observed under anoxic condition with high organic and nitrate loading. However the rate and the degree of P release were lower than that occurred under anaerobic condition. BNR processes composed of anaerobic-anoxic-oxic(AXO), anoxic-anaerobic-oxic(XAO) and anoxic-oxic(XO) were operated in continuous condition. The anoxic reactors in each process received nitrate loading. In the AXO process, P release in anaerobic reactor and the luxury uptake in oxic reactor proceeded actively regardless to nitrate loading. However in XAO and XO processes, P release and luxury uptake occurred only with the nitrate loading less than $0.07\;kg{NO_3}^--N$/kgMLSS-d. With higher nitrate load, P release increased and the luxury uptake decreased. Therefore, it appeared that the application of denitrifying phosphorus-removing bacteria (DPB) to BNR process must first resolve the problem with decrease of luxury uptake of phosphorus in oxic reactor.

This study was conducted to investigate the ratios of phosphorus release to COD uptake, phosphorus release to nitrate removal, and phosphorus uptake to phosphorus release by DNPAOs(denitrifying phosphate accumulating organisms). In case $I{\sim}IV$, influent 1 were fed with synthetic wastewater with influent 2 $NO_3^--N$ injection to anoxic zone and the case V were fed with municipal wastewater with side stream oxic zone instead of influent 2 $NO_3^--N$ injection. As a result, the ratio of phosphorus release to carbon uptake was increased in accordance with nitrate supply. The DNPAOs simultaneously took up phosphate and removed nitrate from the anoxic reactor. In case $I{\sim}IV$, with above 20 mg/L of sufficient $NO_3^--N$ supply, phosphate was taken up excessively by the DNPAOs in anoxic condition. The large amount of both uptake and release of phosphorus occurred above 20 mg/L of nitrate supply, achieving the ratio of phosphorus uptake to phosphorus release to be 1.05. In case V, phosphate luxury uptake was not occurred in system due to 6.98 mg/L of insufficient $NO_3^--N$ supply and the ratio of phosphorus uptake to phosphorus release was 0.98. Consequently, if nitrate as the electron acceptor was sufficient in anoxic zone, the ratio was found to be high.

Since anaerobic/anoxic/oxic process, which is a typical mainstream biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal process, utilizes influent organic matter as an external carbon source for phosphorus release in anaerobic or anoxic stage, influent COD/T-P ratio gives a strong influence on performance of phosphorus removal process. In this study, a bench scale experiment was carried out for SBR process to investigate nitrogen and phosphorus removal at various influent COD/T-P ratio and nitrate loadings of 23~73 and 1.6~14.3g $NO_3{^-}-N/kg$ MLSS, respectively. The phosphorus release and excess uptake in anoxic condition were very active at influent COD/T-P ratios of 44 and 73. However, its release and uptake was not obviously observed at COD/T-P ratio of 23. Consequently, phosphorus removal efficiency was decreased. In addition, the phosphorus release and uptake rate in anoxic condition increased as the nitrate loading decreased. Specific denitrification rate had significantly high correlation with organic materials and nitrate loadings of the anoxic phase too. The rate of phosphorus release and uptake in the anoxic condition were $0.08{\sim}0.94kg\;S-P/kg\;MLSS{\cdot}d$ and $0.012{\sim}0.1kg\;S-P/kg\;MLSS{\cdot}d$, respectively.

무산소 조건에서의 인섭취를 이용한 질소, 인 화합물의 동시 제거 가능성을 연속회분식반응기(SBR)를 사용하여 고찰하였다. 혐기-호기상의 AO SBR 반응기에 점차적으로 무산소상을 도입함으로써 질산염을 전자수용체로 사용하여 탈질이 가능한 인섭취 미생물들(DPAOs)을 다량으로 축적하였다.(혐기-호기-무산소-호기상의 $(AO)_2$ SBR). 무산소상과 호기상에서의 인섭취율을 비교해 보았을 때, 전체 인제거 미생물 내에서 DPAOs의 비율이 약 10%에서 64%까지 증가하였다. $(AO)_2$ SBR은 안정된 질소, 인제거 성능을 보였으며, 유기물질, 질소, 인 화합물의 제거율은 각각 92%, 88%, 100%였다. $(AO)_2$ SBR의 운전결과와 회분식 실험으로 부터 아질산염은 무산소상에서의 인제거 반응에 어떠한 악영향도 미치지 않으며, 오히려 질산염과 함께 전자 수용체로 사용되어짐을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 토양미생물을 활성화한 영양염류 제거 공정의 질소, 인 제거 특성을 Denitrifying Phosphorus removing Bacteria(DPB)의 영향에 의한 관점에서 파악하고자 행하였으며, 또한 DPB의 무산소 상태 하에서의 탈질 및 인 섭취 특성에 대해서도 연구가 진행되었다. Batch test 결과, 토양미생물을 이용한 영양염류 제거 공정에서의 질소, 인 제거는 무산소 상태에서 탈질과 동시에 인을 섭취하는 DPB(Denitrifying Phosphorus removing Bacteria)의 영향이 상당한 것으로 나타났으며 무산소 상태에서의 DPB에 의한 인 섭취 속도가 호기상태에서의 약 50%에 달하였고 초기 nitrate 농도가 DPB의 인 섭취 속도에 대한 영향인자임을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 영양염류 제거 공정에서의 DPB의 존재는 전체 공정의 효율을 증대시키는 것으로 판단되었다.

Laboratory scale experiments were conducted to compare the performance of two types of sequencing batch reactor(SBR) systems, anoxic-oxic-anoxic-oxic $((AO)_2)$ SBR and anoxic-oxic-anoxic $(A_2O)$ SBR on the biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Also, the profiles of DO and pH in reactors were used to monitor the biological nutrient removal in two SBRs. The break point in the pH and DO curves at the oxic period coincided with the end of nitrifying activity at about 1 h 30 min in oxic phase, and the change in pH appears to be related to nitrate concentration. The TOC removal efficiency in $A_2O$ SBR was higher than that in $(AO)_2$ SBR. The denitrification was completed at the influent period. The 2nd non-aeration and aeration periods were not necessary for the nitrogen and phosphorus removal because of the low influent TOC concentration in this study. The release and uptake of phosphorus in $AO_2$ SBR was much higher than that in $(AO)_2SBR.$ In order to uptake more phosphorus, the 1st aeration period in $A_2O$ SBR should be prolonged.

An experimental study for the comparison of nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies between $A^2/O$ and modified Phostrip (M-Phostrip process) were carried out with bench-scale reactors. In case of nitrogen removal efficiencies both of processes showed similar ones when influent organic loadings were high. However, M-phostrip process was more effective than $A^2/O$ at low organic loadings. This is why M-phostrip process consumes the whole mass of influent organics as a carbon sources for denitrification in anoxic reactor but the anoxic reactor of $A^2/O$ process utilizes the residual carbon followed by consumming a part of influent carbon for phosphorus release in anaerobic reactor. $A^2/O$ process required the influent COD/T-P and COD/TKN ratios were more than 56 and 10, respectively, to take place the phosphorus release in anaerobic process and phosphorus uptake in oxic process. However, the luxury uptake of phosphorus in M-phostrip process was not affected by influent COD/T-P and COD/TKN ratios and the adverse effect of nitrate in return sludge introduced to the p-stripper from the 2nd clarifier was not significant due to the configurational advantage of the p-stripper.

혐기-무산소조건으로 구성된 회분식 반응조에서 질산염을 이용하여 인(P)도 동시에 제거될 수 있는 가능성을 알아보기 위해서 인의 제거 양상을 혐기-호기조건의 반응조와 비교하여 조사하였고, 질산염과 인을 동시에 제거하는 미생물분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과 비교적 낮은 농도의 유기물이 적용되었을 때(평균 CODcr=130mg/ι)두 반응조 모두 인이 효과적으로 제거되었으며 반응조내의 최종 인의 농도를 1 mg P/L. 이하로 유지하였다. 특히, 질산염을 전자수용체로 이용한 혐기-무산소조건의 반응조는 기존의 영양소제거 시스템과 비교하여 5-7 mg (P+N)/ι의 영양소를 추가적으로 제거하여 유기물의 효과적 인 이용이 가능한 것으로 판명되었다. 혐기-무산조 조건의 방응조내 미생물 분포를 조사 한 결과 질소원을 제거하는 미생물군(denitrifying bacteria)과 인을 제거하는 미생물군(polyphosphate accumulating bacteria)이 함께 존재하고 있음이 밝혀졌고, 이들 중 $\beta$-proteobacteria에 속하는 Zoogloea ramigera와 Rhodocyclus에 포함되는Alcaligenes defragrans 등은 탈질능력 이 있으면서 anoxic상태에서 인을 동시에 축적할 수 있는 탈질-탈인균주(denitrifying phosphate accumulating organisms; dPAO)로 조사되었다.

The removal efficiencies of organic substrates, nitrogen and phosphorus in the anaerobic-aerobic biological phosphorus removal process were investigated by addition of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid which are normal volatile fatty acids contained in anaerobic digester supernatants. Substrate utilization coefficients for the phosphorus release and uptake were also estimated. The effect of a VFA, which showed higher phosphorus removal efficiency than the other VFAs did, was also studied in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic biological nutrient removal process. For the anaerobic-aerobic process added by VFA, the phosphorus removal efficiencies were up to about 68%, 55% and 61% for the reactors of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid added, respectively, which indicates the efficiencies were increased by about 8-21%, comparing to that of 47% for the reactor with no VFA added. There were no significant difference in removal efficiencies for organic substrate and $NH_3-N$ without regard to addition of VFA. However, the removal efficiency of total nitrogen was increased in the case of VFA added, since $NO_3-N$ was less produced. For the anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic process added VFA, the removal efficiencies for $NH_3-N$ and $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ were increased by 5% and 13%, respectively, comparing with them in the reactors not added VFA.

This study was conducted to find the effect of electron acceptors on the formation of granular sludge by using four different types of electron acceptors. The phosphorous uptake, denitrification, and sulfate reduction in anoxic modes were simultaneously occured because of the presence of the polyphosphate accumultating organism(PAO) that utilize nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptor in the anoxic zone. Denitrirying phosphorous removal bacteria(DPB) was enriched under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic condition with a nitrate as an electron acceptor, and desulfating phosphorous removal bacteria(DSPB) was enriched under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic condition with a sulfate as an electron acceptor. Polyphosphate accumulating organism(PAO) were enriched in the anaerobic/aerobic SBR. PAO took up acetate faster than DPB and DSPB during the aerobic phase. The sludge with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors grew as a granules which possessed high activity and good settleability. In the anaerobic/aerobic modes, typical floccular growth was observed. In the result of bench-scale experiment, simultaneous reactions of phosphorus uptake, denitrification and sulfate reduction were observed under anoxic condition with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors. These results demonstrated that the anaerobic/anoxic modes with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors played an important role in the formation of the sludge granulation.
