The purpose of this study was to confirm the applicability of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in the advanced sewage treatment process. Simulated influent was used in the operation of a laboratory scale reactor. The operation time of one cycle was 4 h and the reactor was operated for six cycles per day. The volume exchange ratio was 50%. The influent was injected in divisions of 25% to increase the removal efficiency of nitrogen in every cycle. As a result, the removal efficiencies of $COD_{Cr}$ and TN in this reactor were 98.2% and 76.7% respectively. During the operation period, the AGS/MLVSS concentration ratio increased from 70.0% to 86.7%, and the average $SVI_{30}$ was 67 mL/g. The SNR and SDNR were 0.073-0.161 kg $NH_4{^+}$-N/kg MLVSS/day and 0.071-0.196 kg $NO_3{^-}$-N/kg MLVSS/day respectively. These values were higher or similar to those reported in other studies. The operation time of the process using AGS is shorter than that of the conventional activated sludge process. Hence, this process can replace the activated sludge process.

팔당호는 북한강과 남한강이 합류하여 생성된 호소로 수도인 서울과 수도권인 경기도 동부지역의 물 공급을 담당하는 중요한 상수원이다. 이러한 팔당호에서 유해남조 발생은 상수원수 활용과 직접적으로 연관되어 있어 신속하고 정확한 관리 및 예측이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 안전한 상수원 활용을 위해, 딥러닝 기법을 이용하여 유해남조 사전 예측 모델을 구축하고자 하였다. 모델 입력 변수는 2012년부터 2021년까지 10년 동안의 주간 팔당호 수질(수온, DO, BOD, COD, Chl-a, TN, TP, pH, 전기전도도, TDN, NH4N, NO3N, TDP, PO4P, 부유물질)과 수문(유입량, 총방류량), 기상 정보(평균기온, 최저기온, 최고기온, 일 강수량, 평균풍속, 평균 상대습도, 합계일조량), 그리고 북한강과 남한강 유입지점의 남조 세포 수를 사용하였다. 모델 출력 변수는 수질, 수문, 기상 요인으로 인한 남조의 성장 발현 시기를 고려하여 1주 후의 댐앞 남조 세포수를 사용하였다. 사용한 딥러닝 기법은 최근 주목받고 있는 Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT)를 사용하였다. 모델 훈련용 데이터와 테스트용 데이터는 각각 8:2의 비율로 나누었으며, 검증용 데이터는 훈련용 데이터 내에서 훈련 데이터와 검증 데이터를 6:4 비율로 분배하였다. Lookback은 5로 설정하였고, 이는 주단위 데이터로 구성된 데이터세트의 특성을 반영한 것이다. 모델의 성능은 실측값과 예측값을 토대로 R-square와 Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)를 계산하여 평가하였다. 모델학습은 총 154번 반복 진행되었으며, 이 중 성능이 가장 준수한 시점은 54번째 반복 시점으로 훈련손실 대비 검증손실이 가장 양호한 값을 나타냈다(훈련손실:0.443, 검증손실 0.380). R-square는 훈련단계에서 0.681, 검증단계에서 0.654였고, 테스트 단계에서 0.606으로 산출되었다. RMSE는 훈련단계에서 0.614(㎍/L), 검증단계에서 0.617(㎍/L), 테스트 단계에서 0.773(㎍/L)였다. 모델에 사용한 데이터세트가 주간 데이터라는 특성을 고려하면, 소규모 데이터를 사용하였음에도 본 연구에서 구축한 모델의 성능은 양호하다고 평가할 수 있다. 향후 연구에서 데이터세트를 보강하고 모델을 업데이트한다면, 모델의 성능을 더욱더 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구의 목적은 SeCAH(Sequential quick crushing and alkali hydrolysis)를 이용하여 음식물쓰레기의 용해도를 개선하고 혐기성 소화시 저해 가능 인자를 평가하는 데 있다. 궁극적으로 전처리된 음식물쓰레기를 첨가하여 양돈슬러리의 낮은 COD/N비를 증가시키고 저해인자를 감소시켜 CH$_4$ 생성율을 증가시키는 것이다. SeCAH를 이용하여 음식물쓰레기를 전처리한 후 용해도는 1.5배 이상 증가되었다. 용해도 증가와 소모된 에너지를 고려할 때 SeCAH는 효과적인 전처리 방법이며 적정 파쇄강도와 파쇄시간은 각각 2,000 rpm과 5$\sim$10 sec로 확인되었다. 전처리된 음식물쓰레기의 조대입자(>2.36 mm) 분율은 88.0%에서 29.0%로 크게 감소하였고, 작은 입자(<75 $\mu$m) 분율은 10.5%에서 40.7%로 증가되었다. SeCAH로 처리한 후 Na$^+$ 농도가 3795.0$\sim$6250.0 mg/L로 증가되어 양돈슬러리와 혐기성 병합소화시 Na$^+$가 저해 가능인자인 것으로 평가되었고 NH$_4^+$-N는 Stripping(pH>10)에 의해 감소되었다. 양돈슬러리 저해 가능인자는 NH$_4{^+}$-N(3331.3 mg/L), K$^+$(4256.5 mg/L) 그리고 SO$_4{^{2-}}$(1017.5 mg/L)이었다. 따라서 음식물쓰레기 용해도 증가에 SeCAH는 매우 효과적인 것으로 SeCAH는 음식물쓰레기의 용해도를 증가시키는 매우 효과적인 전처리 방법이며, 양돈폐수와 전처리된 음식물쓰레기의 혐기성 병합소화로 인하여 저해작용을 감소시키는 것으로 평가되었다.

This study was carried out to complement water quality standards and to establish new concept for water quality standards reflecting current state of water quality in small streams. By this purpose, discriminant analysis was performed and Water Quality Level Model (WQLM) was developed using the data such as EC, BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N, T-P, $NH_3-N$ in 224 agricultural streams. To give water quality level for water quality parameters, it divided into 20% respectively in the order of excellent water quality. On the basis of the lowest water quality level, water quality level of small streams is granted. As a result of it, number of stream corresponding to Level I was no, Level II was 2 streams, Level III was 22 streams, Level IV was 70 streams, and Level V was 130 streams. Average of water quality in each level was the highest in Level V. EC, SS, and T-N of 7 parameters were selected in variance concerned water quality level. By standardized canonical discriminant function coefficient, EC of three variances was the highest in 0.625 at the discriminant power. The next was T-N (0.509), SS (0.414). By discriminant function for water quality level, Level II was equal to $-2.973+19.376{\times}(EC)+0.647{\times}(T-N)+0.009{\times}(SS)$, Level III was equal to $-3.288+19.190{\times}(EC)+0.733{\times}(T-N)+0.041{\times}(SS)$, Level IV was equal to $-4.462+27.097{\times}(EC)+0.792{\times}(T-N)+0.053{\times}(SS)$, and Level V was equal to $-9.117+40.040{\times}(EC)+1.305{\times}(T-N)+0.111{\times}(SS)$. As a result of test at real agricultural watershed of Jeongan and Euidang in Gongju city, the fitness of WQLM was high to 88.78%. But, to get accomplished water quality assessment more exactly in agricultural streams, we had to concentrate and get vast data, and WQLM was modified and complemented continually.

The hospital wastewaters have to be so disposed as to prevent disease and to protect water resources from hazardous substances disinfectants, medicines, and chemicals. Polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex (povidone-iodine) is widely used in the hospital as one of disinfectants. This study was carried out to manifest the effect of disinfectants in growth of activated sludge in treatment of the hospital wastewater by the activated sludge process. The results are as follow. 1. An average water quality of the hospital wastewater showed 7.2 in pH, 3.2 ppm in DO, 293.3 ppm in SS, 96.0 ppm in BOD, 151.1 ppm in COD, 0.4 ppm in povidone-iodine, 0.5 ppm in phenols, 5.4 ppm in surfactants, 1.6 ppm in o-phosphate, 4.6 ppm in $NH_3-N, 249\times 10^4$ counts/100 ml in coliform group organisms, and $1,369\times 10^2$ counts/ml in general counts of bacteria. And wastewater amounts discharged per bed was calculated 70 l/d/bed. 2. In batch culture activated sludge process, each of cresol and povidone-iodine was not effected in less than 0.1 ppm concentration, but the more concentration, the more inhibit the growth rate of activated sludge. In the mixture of two disinfectants, the growth was more inhibited the effect of single disinfectants. So that this reaction is considered as addition effect of two disinfectants. 3. The removal rates of the disinfectants-by continuous culture activated sludge process were 77.6% in 0.4 ppm povidone-iodine, and in BOD was 85.6%. 4. It is desirable that the hospital wastewater is planed in order to be discharged to two system separately, sewer from life system and wastewater from medical system. From those results, it has been concluded that the hospital wastewater has to be treated safely by the activated sludge process.

Fouling by solids and microorganisms is the major obstacle limiting the efficient use of membrane wastewater treatment. In our previous study, two stages microalgae/membrane filtration system was proposed to treat anaerobic digested palm oil mill effluent (AnPOME). This two stages microalgae/membrane filtration system had showed great potential for the treatment of AnPOME with high removal of COD, $NH_3-N$, $PO_4{^{3-}}$, TSS, turbidity, and colour. However, fouling behavior of the membrane in this two stages microalgae/membrane filtration system was still unknown. In this study, empirical models that describe permeate flux decline for dead-end filtration (pore blocking - complete, intermediate, and standard; and cake layer formation) presented by Hermia were used to fit the experimental results in identifying the fouling mechanism under different experimental conditions. Both centrifuged and non-centrifuged samples were taken from the medium with 3 days RT intervals, from day 0 to day 12 to study their influence on fouling mechanisms described by Hermia for ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO) filtration mode. Besides, a more detailed study on the use of resistance-in-series model for deadend filtration was done to investigate the fouling mechanisms involved in membrane filtration of AnPOME collected after microalgae treatment. The results showed that fouling of UF and NF membrane was mainly caused by cake layer formation and it was also supported by the analysis for resistance-in-series model. Whereas, fouling of RO membrane was dominated by concentration polarization.

The purpose of this study was to analyze chemical water quality, fish trophic guilds, tolerance indicators, and fish community conditions in the Gap Stream and to compare the stream conditions between the unimpacted site and impacted site. This study was conducted in the physically stable season (May 2008) to minimize physical impacts such as flow and hydrological disturbance, and applied the study in the Gap Stream with two sites of unimpacted upstream site (Unim-S), mainly surrounded by forested area and impacted site (Im-S), influenced by the wastewater disposal plants and industrial complex in the urban region. Chemical data analysis showed that the degree of organic matter pollution, based on BOD, and COD, was $2{\sim}3$ fold greater in the Im-S than the Unim-S, and that TP, as eutrophication indicators, was 4.7 fold greater in the Im-S. Also, $NH_3-N$ was in 8.2 fold greater in the Im-S ($6.25\;mg\;L^{-1}$) than the Unim-S ($0.76\;mg\;L^{-1}$), indicating a massive influence of wastewater from the disposal plant. Similar results were found in other chemical parameters. Thus, chemical impacts in the Im-S were evident, compared to the unimpacted site. Evaluations of tolerant indicator species indicated that sensitive species were dominant in the Unim-S (23.9%) and tolerant species were dominant (97.8%) in the Im-S. Condition factor (CF) was averaged 0.95 ($0.68{\sim}1.18$) in the Unim-S and 1.08 ($0.93{\sim}1.22$) in the Im-S. Fish community in the Unim-S and Im-S was categorized as Zacco-community and Hemibarbus-community, respectively, and the community diversity index (H') was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the Unim-S (0.810) than the Im-S (0.466). Overall, our results suggest that the comparison approach of various chemical and ecological indicators provide important information in identifying multiple stressors in the stream ecosystems.

Direct treatment of municipal wastewater by forward osmosis (FO) process was evaluated in terms of water flux decline, reverse salt diffusion, pollutants rejection and concentration efficiency by using synthetic seawater as the draw solution. It was found that when operating in PRO mode (active layer facing the draw solution), although the FO membrane exhibited higher osmotic water flux, more severe flux decline and reverse salt diffusion was also observed due to the more severe fouling of pollutants in the membrane support layer and accompanied fouling enhanced concentration polarization. In addition, although the water flux decline was shown to be lower for the FO mode (active layer facing the feed solution), irreversible membrane fouling was identified in both PRO and FO modes as the water flux cannot be restored to the initial value by physical flushing, highlighting the necessity of chemical cleaning in long-term operation. During the 7 cycles of filtration conducted in the experiments, the FO membrane exhibited considerably high rejection for TOC, COD, TP and $NH_4{^+}-N$ present in the wastewater. By optimizing the volume ratio of seawater draw solution/wastewater feed solution, a concentration factor of 3.1 and 3.7 was obtained for the FO and PRO modes, respectively. The results demonstrated the validity of the FO process for direct treatment of municipal wastewater by using seawater as the draw solution, while facilitating the subsequent utilization of concentrated wastewater for bioenergy production, which may have special implications for the coastline areas.

벼 재배에 있어 이앙기 가뭄시 대체 용수원을 개발하고자 공장폐수처리장(이하 공장폐수 처리수)와 하수종말처리장 방류수(이하 하수처리수)를 관개한 다음 지하 침투수 수질 및 벼생육 변화를 구명하기 위해 본 시험을 수행하였다. 대체 관개 용수원으로서 공장폐수 처리수의 COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$, $Mn^{2+}$, 및 $Ni^+$ 농도와 하수처리수중의 SS및 $PO_4-P$농도는 여러 국가들의 관개 재활용 수질 기준보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하수처리수의 초장은 공장폐수 처리수 10일간 관개구를 제외하고 지하수 관개구 보다 약 2 cm 정도 짧았으나, 지하수 및 하수처리수 관개구의 경수는 관개기간에 관개 없이 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 하수처리수 및 공장폐수 처리수 20일 관개구의 수확지수는 유의차가 없었지만, 공장폐수 처리수 30일 관개구의 수확지수는 토성에 관계없이 하수처리수 관개구 보다 약간 높은 것으로 나타났다. 공장폐수 처리수 관개구의 토양 침출수중의 SAR값은 하수처리수 관개구보다 2배 이상 높았지만, 하수처리수 관개구는 지하수 관개구와 비교하여 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이앙 30일 후 공장폐수 및 하수종말처리수 관개구의 토양침출수중 평균 전기전도도(EC1) 값은 각각 식양토에서 4.7과 $3.4dS\;m^{-1}$ 그리고 사양토에서 3.5 및 $2.5dS\;m^{-1}$로 나타났다. 전생육 기간 및 토성에 따른 공장폐수 처리수 관개구의 토양 침출수중 $EC_i$값이 하수처리수 관개구 보다 2배 이상 높게 나타났지만, 이앙 30일 후부터 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그렇지만 하수종말 처리수 관개구의 토양 침출수 중 $EC_i$ 값은 지하수 관개구와 비교하여 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 보아 벼 재배시 하수종말 처리수는 가뭄으로 인한 농업용수가 부족한 경우 대체수자원으로서 잠정적 활용이 가능한 것으로 생각된다.
