Hybrid시스템의 운전결과 황화수소의 removal efficiency는 황화수소의 inlet load가 $200g/m^{3}/h$에서 removal efficiency가 급격히 감소하여 약 60%의 수준을 유지하였다. 또한 톨루엔에 대한 removal efficiency는 거의 100%를 유지하다가 톨루엔의 inlet load가 $644g/m^{3}/h$로 증가할 때에는 약 60%로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 Hybrid시스템 운전결과로 부터 바이오필터만을 이용하여 황화수소와 톨루엔을 동시처리할 때보다 removal efficiency가 제고되었음이 관찰되었다.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 분산지역 및 농촌마을의 하수처리를 위해 자연정화 고도처리 공법인 NEWS (Natural and Ecological Wastewater treatment System)를 적용하였다. 고친수성 biofilter를 사용하여 고형물질과 유기물질을 제거하였으며, 인공습지를 이용하여 영양물질을 제거하였다. 장지적으로 안정성을 갖으며, 부지면적과 효율 면에서 기계적인 공법과 경쟁할 수 있는 자연정화 고도처리공법을 개발하고자 고친수성 biofilter와 상하흐름형 인공습지를 조합하여 (NEWS)처리효과를 검토하였다. 본 처리시설을 적용한 결과 COD를 제외한 수질항목에서 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. Biofilter 유출수는 국내 수질기준을 만족시키지 못하였으나, 인공습지를 거쳐 처리된 최종 유출수는 수질기준을 만족시켰다. BOD, SS, TN, TP의 유입부하량과 제거량과의 관계를 회귀분석 한 결과 결정계수는 각각 0.998, 0.999, 0.919, 0.919로 매우 높은 상관성을 나타냈다. 동절기 효율저하의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 연구시설의 지붕을 투명 폴리카보네이트 글라스로 설치하여 난방을 하지 않는 온실을 도입하고, 12-2월 동안 겨울철 처리장 실내 ${\cdot}$ 외 온도차이를 측정한 결과 처리장실내온도가 실외 온도보다 최고 $20^{\circ}C$까지 높게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 자연생태학적 하수고도처리공법인 NEWS는 유기물질과 영양물질 처리공정을 분리하여 처리효율을 높일 수있으며, 국내의 분산지역 및 농촌마을의 하수처리에 적용가능성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was performed to advance nitrogen removal efficiency by employing an single biofilter packed with granular sulfur, which consists of nitrification occurring at upper part and denitrification at lower part of the reactor. Continuos nitrification/denitrification was carried out with different alkalinity sources, which were $NaHCO_3$ and $CaCO_3$(limestone). In the downflow nitrification/denitrification biofilter packed with granular sulfur, first, terms for nitrogen removal was decided. As results, nitrification and denitrification rate with NaHCO3 at 0.85 kg $NH_4^+-N/m^3{\cdot}d$ were accomplished $0.80kg\;N/m_3{\cdot}d$, $0.43kg\;N/m^3{\cdot}d$, respectively. In the sulfur/limestone packed downflow nitrification/denitrification biofilter, sulfur and limestone were mixed packed, preliminary test showed sulfur/limestone mixing ratio was 3:1 and that was ideal. In the result, nitrification and denitrification rate at $0.7kg\;NH_4^+-N/m^3{\cdot}d$ were accomplished$0.65kg\;N/m^3{\cdot}d$, $0.34kg\;N/m^3{\cdot}d$, respectively. In general, employing granular sulfur can be implemented for only denitrification, but this system can accomplish nitrification as well as denitrification in a single reactor even though low carbon concentration was present in influent limiting to nutrient removal process. This biofilter system of limestone and granular sulfur packed together can successfully apply for nutrient removal effectively.

The performance of a small on-site wastewater treatment system consisting of an anaerobic septic tank and upgraded absorbent biofilter was investgted . The anaerobic septic tank was used as a pre-treatment of the absorbent Biofitler instead of the primary clarifier. The treatment capacity of the system was examined by changing the hydraulinc loadings to the Absorbent Biofilter as 2.5㎥/day , 4.5㎥/day, 6.0㎥/day, respective. The effluent from the septic tank was fed into the Absorbent Bilfilter. Based on the experimental results, the quality of treated wastewater satisfied the regulation and the BOD and SS was removed down to approximately 5mg/$\ell$ and 1mg/$\ell$, respectively.

본 연구는 평면형 바이오필터를 설계하여 제작하고 이 바이오필터에 디펜바키아(Dieffenbachia amoena 'Marianne')의 식재 여부에 따라 환기 용량을 제어할 수 있는 토양 수분 안정화 정도를 측정하고 미세먼지, 휘발성 유기화합물 및 포름알데히드(HCHO)와 같은 실내공기 오염물질에 대한 바이오필터의 제거율을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 디펜바키아의 식재 여부에 관계없이 모두 일정한 상대습도, 온도 및 토양 수분 함량을 나타내었고 이 바이오필터에 식재한 디펜바키아도 정상적으로 생육하였다. 바이오필터에 의한 미세먼지 제거율을 보면, 미세먼지(PM10)와 초미세먼지(PM2.5)의 입자 수는 토양만 있는 경우 각각 30%와 2% 이상 제거되었고, 디펜바키아를 식재한 경우도 각각 40%와 4% 이상 제거되었다. 미세먼지(PM10) 무게에 따른 제거율은 토양만 있는 경우 4% 이상, 디펜바키아를 식재한 경우 20% 이상으로 나타났다. 토양만 채운 바이오필터는 xylene, ethylbenzene, toluene, total volatile organic compounds(T-VOCs)를 63% 이상 제거하였으나 benzene은 22% 이상, HCHO는 38% 이상을 제거하였다. 디펜바키아를 식재한 바이오필터는 xylene, ethylbenzene, toluene, T-VOCs를 72% 이상 제거하였고 benzene과 HCHO도 39% 이상 제거하였다. 따라서 식물과 바이오 필터를 결합한 시스템은 미세먼지의 제거보다 휘발성 유기 화합물의 제거에 대한 효과가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제작한 평면형 바이오필터는 실내 공기질 정화에 매우 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 식물과 바이오필터를 결합하였을 때 그 효과는 더욱 큰 것으로 확인하였다.

The biodegradation of toluene vapor was investigated using a new type of biofilter equipped with a laboratory-scale evaporative cooler model packed with wood wool fibers (area: $360cm^2$). For the purpose of this study, the biofilter system was inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. RSST (MG 279053). The performance of this biofilter, assessed in terms of toluene removal efficiency (and elimination capacity), was as high as 99 % at a loading rate of $6g/h{\cdot}m^2$. The toluene removal efficiency decreased in an exponential manner with the increase in the loading rate. The cooler model-based biofilter was able to remove more than 99 % of toluene using Pseudomonas sp. RSST (MG 279053) as an effective inoculum. This biofilter is designed to operate under batch conditions for the removal of toluene in confined environments (e.g., automotive plants, boiler rooms in manufacturing facilities, and offshore drilling platforms).

The feasibility of the high-hydrophilic biofilter was examined for application in rural wastewater treatment in Korea. The intermittent trickling biofiter was developed for wastewater treatment of media and examined instantaneous wetting water and immersional wetting water. Melamin foam absorbed 120 times it's weight in water and maintained wetting status than other materials. These characteristics are improvement for application in rural areas showing large variance of amount of influent. The biofilter process was effective in treating organic pollutants; mean removal efficiencies of $BOD_5$ and TSS were above 80%. The average SS concentrations of effluent was showed below $10mg/L^{-1}$ and meet guidelines in special regions, however, the average concentration of $BOD_5$ was about $20mg/L^{-1}$. The removals of T-N and T-P were relatively less effective and removal efficiencies were below 40%. It might meet the guidelines for T-P because of low levels of influent T-P concentration. However, the T-N concentration were too high and further treatment is required. The effluent concentration of $NH_4-N$ showed a significant reduction rate about 43.8%, but part of $NH_4-N$ was transformed to $NO_2-N$ and $NO_3-N$ inside the biofilter through nitrification process. The effluent concentration of org-P was removed about 78.8% of influent concentration by filtration. Considering stable performance and effective removal of pollutant in wastewater, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, the hydrophilic biofilter system was thought to be an effective and feasible alternative for decentralized rural areas.

Absorbent Biofilter Systems (ABS), composed of an anaerobic septic tank, a pump chamber and an absorbent biofilter tank, have been found to economically provide rural on-site wastewater treatment. This study was conducted to assess the potential of ABS effluent as an alternative water resource for agricultural and environmental use, with respect to the removal of pathogenic microorganism and their fertilization effect. A pilot scale ABS was used to compare its removal efficiency of pathogens from effluent water. Overall, more than 95 percent of Salmonella and E. coli were removed. This result demonstrates that a significant reduction in the pathogenic microorganism of effluents can occur in ABS, which implies the feasibility for the use of ABS effluent in agriculture and environment, with the provision of a further simple disinfection step, in order to satisfy the WHO guidelines for the microbiological quality in agriculture. In addition, because of the abundant nutritional content of ABS effluent, the substitution effect of fertilizer (N, P and K) in paddy irrigation, i.e. 2/3 for nitrogen, l/3 for phosphorus and 1/5 for potassium would be expected. Based on the experimental data, the ABS effluent could be used as a new alternative water resource for paddy irrigation, as well as for environmental purposes, such as supplying water to ecological parks in rural villages.

The petrochemical products can cause soil and groundwater contamination during their transportation and the use of the products, and while being contained in underground storage tanks(USTs) throughout the leakage. To treat the contaminated soil, the bioventing method is suitable for the remediation of semi-volatile compounds, such as diesel and kerosene. Biofiltration is one of possible method to treat the off-gas produced in the process of the bioventing. This study is related to the usage, effectiveness of treatment, and feasibility of two types of biofilter system made of ceramic-compost and polymer respectively to treat diesel VOCs at constant retention time of 20 sec. Compost biofilter showed the average removal efficiency of 73 % when the inlet concentration increased to 20 ppmv. Increased the inlet concentration decreased the microbial activities as well as the removal efficiency. On the contrary, the removal efficiency of the polyurethane biofilter was maintained at 88 % at the inlet concentration of 13 ppmv during ten days and was obtained to 80 % at the inlet concentration of 30 ppmv in spite of the drop of the efficiency in the sudden increase of the inlet concentration. At the beginning of the experiment it showed low removal efficiency at low inlet concentration due to the low microbial activity, however, as experiments proceed the removal efficiency could be obtained more than 80% at high inlet concentration.
