To investigate the distribution characteristics of grain size and organic matter of surface sediments from the Nakdong-Goryeong Mid-watershed, surface sediments were collected and analyzed. The samples were collected from six sited at four different times between May 2013 and May 2014. The were analyzed for grain size, water content, ignition loss, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon and total nitrogen. The surface sediments were mainly composed of medium sand (mean 44.7%) and coarse sand (mean 32.8%) and became coarser in May 2014. Fine sediments at the site NG-2 were poorly sorted and positively skewed, and occur in a tributary environment that is relatively low-energy compared with the other sites. The water content at the studied sites (15.3 ~ 34.9%) averaged 20.25%, and ignition loss (0.4 ~ 5.8%) and total nitrogen (274 ~ 2493 mg/kg) averaged 1.33% and, 696 mg/kg, respectively. These values indicated that the sediments were not seriously contaminated when compared with the sediment pollution evaluation standard of the National Institute of Environmental Research. The chemical oxygen demand (mean 0.17%) was at the non-polluted level compared with United States Environmental Protection Agency sediment quality standards. The total organic carbon (mean 0.18%) at all sites except site NG-2 (lowest effect level) was the no effect level of the Ontario sediment quality guidelines. The COD/IL (0.02 ~ 0.20) and C/N (0.73 ~ 6.76) were less than 1 and 10, respectively. Organic matter in the study area produced naturally from aquatic organisms. Results of principal component analysis showed that fine sediments (very fine sand and silt) were significantly affected by organic matters (ignition loss, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon and total nitrogen). In addition, the highest organic matters content in the study area occurred at the site with the finest sediments (NG-2).

산지계류수에서의 T-N(총질소), T-P(총인) 및 COD(화학적산소요구량)의 농도와 유출부하의 변화를 파악하고 산림의 수질정화기능을 평가하였다. 충청북도에 있는 시험유역은 면적이 92.5 ha이며 59%의 혼효림과 30%의 침엽수림으로 구성되어 있다. 시험유역의 말단에서 평상시는 10일 간격으로 또한, 1개의 강우사상에 대하여 2-6 시간 간격으로 계류수의 유량과 농도를 1년간 측정하였다. 강우시의 평균농도는 COD만이 유의적인 수준(p<0.05)에서 평상시의 농도보다 높게 나타났다. T-N과 T-P의 평균농도는 식생생육기(5-10 월)가 식생 휴지기(11-4 월) 보다 낮게 나타났는데, 이는 식물에 의한 영양염류 흡수와 토양의 온도상승에 따른 미생물의 활동이 증가하기 때문으로 생각된다. 연간유출부하에 대한 강수시 유출부하의 비는 T-N이 87%, T-P가 83%, COD가 87%로서 연간유출부하 중 강우시의 유출부하가 매우 높게 나타났다. 시험유역의 오염부하 원단위는 T-N이 5.9 kg/ha $\cdot$ yr, T-P가 0.15 kg/ha $\cdot$ yr, COD가 23.9 kg/ha $\cdot$ yr로 산정되었다. 또한, 시험유역에 의한 T-N, T-P 및 COD의 연간제거율은 각각 24, 58, 66%로 나타나, 산림유역이 수질정화기능을 발휘하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Operation characteristics of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process with electro-flotation (EF) as a solid liquid separation method (EF-SBR) were investigated. EF-SBR process showed excellent solid-liquid separation performance which enabled to separate biosolids from liquid phase within 30 min and to extend cyclic reaction time. Although influent organic loading rate was increased stepwise from 5 to 15 g COD/day, food to microorganisms (F/M) ratio could be maintained about 0.3 g COD/g VSS/day in EF-SBR because biomass concentration could be easily controlled at desired level by EF. However, it was impossible to increase biomass concentration at the same level in control SBR (C-SBR) process because solid-liquid separation by gravity settling showed a limitation at higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration with 60 min of settling time. Total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) removal efficiency of EF-SBR process was not decreased although influent organic loading rate became 3 times higher than initial value. However, it was seriously deteriorated in C-SBR process after increasing the rate over 10 g COD/day, which was accounted for insufficient organic removal by relatively higher food to microorganisms (F/M) ratio as well as biosolids wash-out by a limitation of gravity sedimentation.

Chemical oxygen demand (COD), phytoplankton cell number and chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a), sediment mean grain size and ignition loss were studied to determine their temporal trends in the study area. Historical data of COD, cell number and Chl-a were gathered from the late 1960s or early 1980s to 1997, and trends in temporal domain were obtained from a simple regression. Sediments for grain size and ignition loss (as organic contents in sediments) were sampled from the Chokchon macrotidal flat bimonthly from September 1990 to November 1996, and were analyzed using the decomposition method of time series analysis. In general, the first three data showed increasing trends based on regression analysis. The trends of sediment grain size fluctuated in a neutral pathway while those of ignition loss yielded no increasing pattern. In contrast with the suggestions from Ahn and Choi (1998) who reported a coarsening variation in sediment grain size to be a cause of the directional and remarkable changes of macrofaunal communities in this area, we could not find such a corresponding variation pattern from our samples. In diagnosing eutrophication, a paradoxical phenomenon was encountered between the trends in water column (COD, cell number and Chl-a) and sediment (ignition loss) data. In this paper, we inferred the possible processes that produce the discrepancy. Some explanations and biological responses to eutrophication were predicted and discussed.

본 연구에서는 재생지를 원료로 하여 화장지를 만드는 제지공장의 원폐수를 사용하였으며, 폐수처리의 기초적 전처리 방법으로 zeta potential을 측정 (원성연, 1995 : 이학래등, 1996) 하여 적정 응집제 투입량을 선정하고, 응집제를 투입량에 따른 탁도 (Turbidity), 총고형물 (suspended solids : SS), 화학적 산소요구량 (chemical oxygen demand : COD)을 측정하여 최적 응집제 투입량을 검토하였다. 또한 응집 침전의 효율을 결정하는 가장 중요한 평가항목인 floc의 기계적 강도(임호주, 2002)를 측정해 봄으로써 기계적 강도가 양호하면서 응집효과가 좋은 최적 조건을 검토하였다. 따라서 최적 응집제 투입량에 따른 응집제의 사용량 감소에 의한 실제 공장에서 약품비용의 절감 효과와 폐수처리 효율의 극대화를 기대 할 수가 있다고 사료된다.

Presently, aquatic plants are used for the water purification in inland water. This study was carried out to investigate the water purification effect of aquatic plants, Oenanthe javanica and Typha angustata, The experiment was conducted in outdoor flowing water was conducted for ten days, Water quality was measured in terms of water temperature, COD(chemical oxygen demand), SS(suspended solids), Total N, Total P. The results of field experimentation showed that hydraulic retention time was the earliest in July and August 2003, and there were not any particular changes of monthly water temperature in inflow water and outflow water. As we look at the changes taken place in inflow water and outflow water throughout the whole experiment period, the change of water quality in summer was salient, especially SS removal ratio showed distinguished change as $25\%$, when the pebble filter and aquatic were attached to it. The removal rate of COD, total N total P were $14,7\%,\;8\%\;and\;9\%$, respectively. In relating the length of water extension to the change in water quality, the water quality tended to get lower generally in proportion to hydraulic retention time.

A bacterial strain, designated T116, degrading terephthalic acid (TPA) was isolated from the soil around Taegu industrial area into which dye works wastewater flow. The isolate was identified as pseudomonas sp. based on its morphological and physiological characteristics. Degradation of TPA by the strain T116 was confirmed with UV scanning and HPLC. About 90% and 98% of TPA were degraded after 36 and 60 hours, respectively, during the culture in a liquid medium containing 0.1% TPA. Addition of KH2PO4 at a final concentration of 100ppm enhanced the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate about 50% from dye works wastewater by Pseudomonas sp. T116. Optimum pH and temperature for COD reduction from wastewater were 7.0 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The bacterium was applied to the continuous culture for the treatment of dye works wastewater whose TPA concentration and CODMn were 2,200ppm and 1,620ppm, respectively. It was observed that 90-95% of COD was eliminated after 4 days culture in the continuous culture with a retention time of 37 or 47 hours.

This paper proposes a modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) type membrane bioreactor (MBR) as a method of treatment for wastewater from food waste disposer. Micro-membrane filtration allows for an extremely low concentration of suspended solids in the effluent. The effluent of the reactor in question is characterized by a relatively high level of non-biodegradable organics, containing a substantial amount of soluble microbial products and biomass. Results obtained in this paper by measurement of membrane fouling are consistent with biomass concentration in the reactor, as opposed to chemical oxygen demand (COD). The MLE process is shown to be effective for the treatment of wastewater with a high COD/N ratio of 20, resulting in are markedly high total nitrogen removal efficiency. Denitrification could be improved at a higher internal recycle ratio. Despite the low concentration of influent phosphorus, the phosphorus concentration of the outflow is seen to be relatively high. This is because outflow phosphorous concentration is related to COD consumption, and the process operates at along solids retention time.
