This research was intended as an investigation of applying Reduced Pressure Evaporation as efficient treatment method for landfill leachate. According to the variance of time, temperature, pressure and pH in experiments, the properties of leachate treatment are follows. The removal efficiencies of COD, NH$_{3}$-N, TOC, Conductivity and SS on the basis of reaction time was 96.4%-97.5%, -1.4%-53.7%, 81.7%-89.0%, 92.0%-95.3% and 99.86%-99.97%, respectively. When the pH of Influent was 7.5, the pH of effluent was increased to 10-11 with time elapse. It is concluded that the orgin of pH increase may be ammonia. When the properties of concentrate were investigated at the concentration ratio 90%(V/V), concentration difficiency represented in the ratio of experimental value/calculated value had following orders ; COD>TOC>NH$_{3}$-N>Conductivity>SS. Concentrate had good precipitation because of additive thermal treatment in the process. When evaporation experiments with pH adjustment of 4.0, 6.0, 7.5, 9.0 and 10.0 were performed ; Acidic evaporation experiments(pH 4.0, 6.0) showed low removal efficiency(81.6, 87.6%) of COD and high removal efficiency (97.5%. 84.6%) of NH$_{3}$-N at initial evaporation. Basic evaporation(pH 9.0, 10.0) showed high removal efficiency (97.2%, 98.9%) of COD and very low removal efficiency (-7.4%, -27.2%) of NH$_{3}$-N at initial evaporation.

본 연구지역은 전라남도에 위치한 고흥만 간척지 내 인공습지이며, 인공습지수와 주변 유입수의 수질특성을 파악하기 위해 2008년 3월 15일 및 2009년 1월 10일에 12개 지점에서 현장조사를 수행하였다. 수온, pH, DO, EC 및 salinity 항목은 현장측정 되었으며, 채수된 시료는 실내에서 TOC, Cl-, COD, TSS, T-P 및 T-N 성분을 분석하였다. 현장 관측된 5개 항목은 인공습지에 비해 유입지점들에서 높게 나타났으며, 이는 주변 농경 작지에서 유입되는 오염물질에 의한 것이다. 인공습지수와 유입수 내 농도비는 TOC 성분은 1월에, Cl 성분은 3 월에 더욱 높은 값을 보였다. COD 성분은 인공습지수에 대한 유입수의 농도비가 1.37배와 1.49배로서 유사하였다. 유입지점들에서 T-P와 T-N 성분의 평균값은 인공습지 내에서보다 3배 이상 높았으며, 인공습지의 자정능력에 의해 농도가 저감되었다. 본 연구지역의 인공습지에서는 유입수 내 Cl, T-P, T-N 성분의 정화효율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. Cl- 성분의 정화효율은 1차 관측 시 83%, 2차 관측 시 76% 이었으며, 이는 인공습지수에 의한 희석효과에 의한 것이다. T-P 성분의 정화효율은 67%(1차 관측)와 69%(2차 관측), T-N 성분은 100%(1차 관측)와 95%(2차 관측) 로서 매우 높았다. 본 연구에서 T-N의 정화효율이 비현실적으로 높은 것은 유입수의 양이 소량이어서 인공습지수 내에서는 질소 농도가 분석한계 이하로 나타났기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 T-P 성분의 정화효율이 1월에, T-N 성분은 3월에 높게 나타나 생장기와 동절기의 영향에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), an endocrine disrupting chemical, was removed by ozone treatment processes under the various experimental conditions including UV irradiation, $TiO_2$ addition. The ozone flow rate and concentration were maintained at $1.0L{\cdot}min^{-1}$ and $70{\pm}5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The pH, COD and TOC of the samples were obtained every 10 minutes for 60 minutes in laboratory scale batch reactor. We found that the combination of UV irradiation and $TiO_2$ addition for ozonation improves the removal efficiency of COD and TOC in 4-NP aqueous solution. In case of the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ system, COD and TOC were greatly reduced to 85.3 ~ 94.0% and 89.2 ~ 97.2%, respectively. 4-NP degradation rate constants, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$, were calculated based on the COD and TOC values. Significantly, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were improved in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ treatment process compared with single $O_3$ process, because the oxidation and the mineralization of 4-NP were increased by generating of the hydroxyl radical. The $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were obtained to be $5.81{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}10.8{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ and $11.9{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}19.4{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ process. Activation energy ($E_a$) of ozone oxidation reaction based on $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were increased in order of $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ < $O3/UV$ < $O_3/TiO_2$ < $O_3$ process. It was confirmed that the addition of $TiO_2$ and UV irradiation to the ozone oxidation reaction significantly reduced the $E_a$ value and the degradation of 4-NP.

This study was carried out for the purpose of industrial reuse of effluent released from activated sludge unit by $\gamma $-ray irradiation technique. The dissolved organic carbon in the effluent of an activated sludge unit is mostly refractory or inert material which are difficult to be degraded by micro organism. The effluent generated from activated sludge unit was irradiated with Co$^{60}$ $\gamma $-ray under condition of air bubbling. The effects of irradiation on the pH, COD, TOC, color, molecular weight distribution were investigated by membrane filtration and u.v.-spectrum analysis. With increasing dose, the TOC was decreased smoothly. The COD was increased at lower dose, while the COD was decreased at higher dose. The TOC and COD, however, were decreased smoothly when TiO$_{2}$ was added to the solution. It was thought that the differential decreasing trend of COD and TOC in according to the absence or presence of TiO$_{2}$ was due to the molecular weight distribution shifted from group of higher molecular weight to group of lower one which are more easy to be decomposed. The removal efficiency of color was 71.5% and it was increased to 85.7% when TiO$_{2}$ was added to the solution. The $\gamma $-ray irradiation was effective on the production of chlorine.

농촌 마을단위 하수처리장에서 오염물질의 존재형태별 처리 경향을 파악하여 하수처리장의 설계 및 시공시 부지면적 감소와 오염물질의 처리효율 극대화를 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위하여 농촌 마을 단위 하수처리장을 호기성조와 혐기성조로 구분하여 시공한 다음 하수처리 경과시기별, 오염물질 부하량별 및 계절별로 각 오염물질의 존재형태별 수처리 효율을 조사하였다. 하수처리 경과시기에 따른 오염물질 처리효율을 조사한 결과 호기성조 처리수에서 하수처리 시간이 경과함에 따라 BOD, COD, TOC 및 SS처리량은 큰 폭으로 증가하였다. 처리된 오염물질의 존재형태를 조사한 결과 호기성조 및 혐기성조에서 BOD는 대부분 IBOD로, COD는 대부분 ICOD로, TOC는 대부분 STOC로, SS는 대부분 VSS로, T-N은 대부분 DTN 및 T-P는 대부분 DTP로 처리되었다. 부하량별 오염물질 처리효율을 조사한 결과 BOD 처리량은 호기성조와 방류수 모두에서 처리된 대부분의 BOD는 IBOD이었다. COD 처리량도 BOD와 유사하게 호기성조에서는 대부분 ICOD형태로 처리되었으나, 혐기성조에서는 ICOD와 SCOD가 비슷한 처리량을 보였다. 그러나 하수처리장에서 처리되는 TOC의 존재형태별 처리량은 BOD 및 COD와는 달리 호기성조 처리수와 방류수 모두에서 STOC의 처리량이 약간 많았다. 부하량별 SS 처리효율은 호기성조 처리수에서 95%정도 처리되어 대부분의 SS는 호기성조에서 처리되었으며, 처리되는 SS의 용존형태는 호기성조 처리수에서는 대부분 VSS로 처리되었고, 방류수에서는 VSS와 FSS가 비슷한 양으로 처리되었다. 부하량별 T-N 처리효율은 호기성조 처리수에서 32%정도이었고, 방류수에서 24%정도이었다. 또한 처리되는 T-N의 용존형태는 호기성조 처리수와 방류수 모두에서 DTN이 STN에 비해 월등히 많은 양이 처리되었다. 부하량별 T-P 처리효율은 호기성조에서 62%정도이었고, 혐기성조에서 14%정도로 대부분 호기성조에서 처리되었으며, 처리되는 T-P의 용존형태는 호기성조와 방류수 모두에서 대부분 DTP형태이었다. 계절별 오염물질 처리량을 조사한 결과 BOD, COD, TOC, SS, T-N 및 T-P 처리량은 여름과 가을이 봄과 겨울에 비해 처리량이 약간 증가되었으며, BOD, COD, TOC, SS, T-N 및 T-P는 4계절 모두 방류수의 처리효율이 각각 92, 89, 73, 95, 46 및 84%이상의 높은 처리효율을 나타내었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the partial oxidation of the biological treatment plant effluents using Fenton's reagent as a pretreatment step prior to a tertiary biological oxidation of these effluents. Fenton's reagent was evaluated as a pretreatment process for inhibitory or refractory organics. Based on the Fenton oxidation system, the petrochemical wastewater treatment plant effluent was shown to have significant improvement in toxicity after oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. For example, at ranee of 42 ∼ 184 mg/L COD of petrochemical plant effluents, the COD removal efficiencies were from 38.2% to 60.1% after reaction with hydrogen peroxide 200 mg/L and Fe2+ 100 mg/L and reaction time was 30 minutes. The total TOC reduction were about 15.8∼22.4% with same test condition and difference between the overall removal rate and BOD/COD ratio after Fenton's oxidation estabilished in the biodegradation and otherwise meets the discharge standard or reuse for cooling tower make-up water.

The pH efforts on the removal of 1,4-dioxane and the biodegradobility enhancement of dioxane contaminated water were investigated using $O_3/H_2O_2$ baled advanced oxidation process. Experiments were conducted using a bubble column reactor under different initial pH. The $O_3/H_2O_2$ process effectively converted 1,4-dioxane to more biodegradable intermediates which had a maximum $BOD_5$ enhancement at pH 11 within the experimental range, precisely, when the initial pH increased, $BOD_5$ enhanced. However, in case of removal efficiencies of 1,4-dioxane during $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation the optimum condition was shown at pH 9 compared with pH 6 and 11. TOC and COD values were not largely changed for all reaction time. From the results of 1,4-dioxane removal efficiency, TOC, COD, and $BOD_5$ enhancement with reaction time, it was surely observed that 1,4-dioxane was just converted to biodegradable materials, not completely oxidized to carbon dioxide.

This study was carried out to examine degradation characteristics of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris in methane fermentation. We measured COD and VS reduction, gas and methane productivity, VFA (volatile fatty acid), respectively. Then we calculated material balance and hydrolysis rates in soluble and solid material. The substrate concentration was controlled from 14 gCOD$_{cr}$/l to 64 gCOD$_{cr}$/l in batch cultures, and HRT (hydraulic retention time) controlled from 2 days to 30 days in continuous experi- ments. The results were as follows. In batch culture, accumulated gas productivity increased with the increase of the substrate concentration. The SS and VSS was removed all about 30% increase of substrate concentration and the most of the degradable material removed during the first 10 days. The curve of gas and methane production rate straightly increased until substrate concentration is 26 gCOD$_{cr}$/l. In continuous culture experiments, the removal rates at HRT 10days were 20% for total COD and TOC, respectively. At longer HRT, there was no increase in the removal efficiency. At HRT 15 days, the removal rates were 30% for SS and VSS, respectively. Soluble organic materials were rapidly degraded, and so there was no accumulated. Soluble COD concentration was not increase regardless of HRT-increasing. That meaned the hydrolysis was one of the rate-limiting stage of methane fermentation. The first-order rate constants of hydrolysis were 0.23-0.28 day$^{-1}$ for VSS, and 0.07-0.08 day$^{-1}$ for COD.

This study analyzed the changes in the concentrations of organic matters in constructed treatment wetlands, coming from discharge water from a sewage treatment plant and non-point pollutant sources during rainfall events. At the beginning of a rainfall event, a massive amount of particulate organic matter flowed in, and was removed from the sedimentation basin (S1, S2); dissolved organic matter was removed after passing through stepwise treatment processes in the wetland. During dry period in the wetland, the removal efficiency rate for COD and TOC was -21 and -7%, respectively; during the rainfall event, the removal efficiency rate for COD and TOC were 47 and 43%, respectively. The highly-concentrated organic matters that flowd in at the beginning of the rainfall event was stabilized by various structures in the wetland before water discharge. Cyanobacteria blooms annually at the confluence of the So-ok stream and Daecheong Lake. Therefore, it is expected that the wetland will contribute significantly to reducing cyanobacteria and improving water quality in the area.
