본 연구에서는 활성탄소의 이산화탄소 흡착 능력을 향상시키기 위한 아민과 금속산화물 첨가제에 관하여 고찰하였다. 표면 처리한 활성탄소의 물리화학적 특성은 X-ray photoelection specstroscopy (XPS), 질소등온흡착곡선, X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET 장치를 이용하여 분석하였다. 실험결과, 활성탄소 표면의 아민 기능기는 산성가스인 이산화탄소를 선택적으로 흡착하기 위한 염기성 자리로 작용하며, 2차아민을 갖는 기능기가 1차아민에 비하여 이산화탄소흡착능력이 우수함을 확인하였다. 활성탄소에 첨가된 금속산화물은 표면에서 전자 도우너(electron donor) 역할을 하며 알칼리 특성을 지니고, 아민 기능기와 유사하게 이산화탄소 가스와 산-염기 반응을 유도한다. 금속산화물 표면처리를 했을 경우 순수한 활성탄소와 비교하여 이산화탄소 흡착 용량이 85% 증가하였으며, 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때 금속산화물 첨가제는 활성탄소의 이산화탄소 흡착능력을 향상시키기 위한 목적으로 아민 첨가제와 병행하거나 대체할 수 있는 물질로 기대된다.

There are increasingly important financial incentives and environmental consideration to improve the effluent quality of wastewater from domestic and industrial users. The activated sludge process is a widely used biological wastewater treatment process. The activated sludge process is complicated due to the many factors such as the variation of influent flowrate and concentration, the complexity of biological reactions and the various operation conditions. Nowadays, not only suspended solids and residual carbon, but also nitrogen and phosphorous concentration of the effluent water must be taken into account for the design and operation of wastewater treatment plants. Also, the effluent quality to be met are more stringent. Therefore, an intelligent control approach is required in order to successful biological nitrogen removal. In this paper, the strategies for dosage of extra carbon in the anoxic zone and DO concentration in the aerobic zone are presented and evaluated through the simulation using the denitrification layout of the IWA simulation benchmark implemented by Matlab$\^$/5.3/Simulink$\^$/3.0. The control strategy to achieve sufficient denitrification rates in an anoxic zone. Methanol is used as an external extra carbon source. The external extra carbon source is required for the nitrogen removal process because nitrogen and organic concentration are fluctuated in the influent flowrate. The dissolved oxygen is calculated by So concentration in the activated sludge model NO.1. The air flowrate of each aerobic reactor is intelligently controlled to achieve the predefined setpoints. Air flowrate is adjusted by the fuzzy logic controller that includes two inputs and one output. The objective function for the optimization procedure is designed to improve effluent quality and reduce the operating cost.

Control of Trihalomethanes(THMs) is a major concern of many water treatment plants. A number of researchers have studied the effectiveness of activated carbon adsorption process in removing THMs or organic halogen compounds. Recently, attention has been paid to the biological activated carbon (BAC) treatment of THM precursors as an alternative to the carbon adsorption treatment because of its effectiveness as well as its low running cost. In this study, changes of THM formation potential(THMFP) and removal of substrates in the SBR effluent were investigated in an attempt to clarify the mechanisms of the decrease/increase of THMFP in the BAC treatment. The increase and decrease of THMFP concentrations were observed in effluents during prolonged operation. When PCP or DBS was feeded as substrate contained in SBR effluent, the THMFPs were easyly removed with TOCs removal. But the case of SBR effluent containing SDS or glycine was introduced, and when microbial growth came to its near steady state, the THMFPs of treated effluents were increased more or less in comparison to those in the influents. Such increases of THMFP coincided with the increase in microbial growth within the activated carbon fiber(ACF) column. In the case of only sucrose was feeded as substrate on ACF colume, THMFP concentrations of effluent were higher than those of influent. The THMFP concentration was significantly increased on inlet part of ACF column, which biomass inhabits abundantly, then they were decreased gradually. These increases mean production of the secondary THM precursors by biological activities, which can be removed by adsorption and biological degradation on ACF column.

본 연구에서는 활성탄소섬유(ACFs)에 함산소불화 표면처리를 수행하여 수용액상에 존재하는 저농도 $Cr^{6+}$ 이온의 흡착특성을 조사하였다. ACFs의 기공구조와 표면특성은 BET와 X선 광전자 분광기(XPS)를 통해 각각 확인하였다. ACFs의 함산소불화 처리는 ACFs의 표면에 중금속 흡착 능력에 영향을 미치는 C-O 결합의 비율을 크게 증가시켰으며, 그 결과 $Cr^{6+}$ 흡착이 10 min 이내에 빠르게 평형에 도달할 수 있었다. 또한 초기 $Cr^{6+}$ 농도 20 ppm에서 최대 $Cr^{6+}$ 제거효율은 미처리 ACFs와 비교하여 약 100% 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 ACFs의 함산소불화 반응은 저농도 $Cr^{6+}$의 흡착을 위한 표면처리법으로 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

The microbial adsorption characteristics of two different media for biological treatment were studied using attached diverse microbes onto activated carbon and ceramic. The results in the experiments of the characteristics of physical adhesion on two different media with addition of high and low concentrated substrate in the culture were observed that the efficient of adhesion onto F-400 activated carbon was higher over that of ceramic due to the surface area of media. The irradiation treatment by ultrasonication with 400 W power and 3 min retention time on the media without addition substrate conditions and subsequent mixing throughly the culture showed the highest efficiency of cell detachment on the media. Three different microbes, P. ovalis, A calcoaceticus, and B. subtillis were used for the study of the characteristics of microbial adhesion on the media. p ovalis showed the highest adhesion capability while B. subtillis showed the lowest capability adhesion onto media either addition of substrate in the culture. The mixed bacterial culture showed $10\%$ lower removal efficiency of DOC in the low concentrated substrate culture compared to the single pure culture. Whileas, it did not show significant difference between two cultures at high concentrated substrate. It was also observed same population density of microorganism by counting of microbes adhered to microbial media with an ultrasound treatment.
