하 폐수 처리 기술은 종래 단순 오염물질 처리에서 에너지 및 자원 절약형의 고도처리 기술로 발전되고 있으며, 공공 수역으로의 오염 물질과 유독 물질 배출을 최소화하고 설치 운영의 효율성을 높이기 위해 IT 및 BT와 같은 다양한 기술을 접목한 융합형 기술로 진화하고 있다. 국내 하 폐수 처리기술의 발전 추이를 살펴보기 위해 등록된 특허기술을 수집 조사하여 연도별 부문별로 분류하여 분석하였다. 본고에서 2010년~2017년 5월 간의 관련된 특허 등록 내용을 생물학적 물리화학적 처리공정, 장치 및 기기, 소재 제재, 슬러지처리, 분리막, 공정제어기술 등 10개 분야의 42개 세부 영역으로 나누어 추세를 분석했다. 총 3,356건의 특허가 등록되었으며 2013년에 638건으로 최고치를 기록한 이후 다소 감소하여 연간 3~400여 건을 유지하고 있다. 등록된 특허 총 건수는 아직 다른 국가에 비해 적지는 않으나 공정 제어 및 기기 분야, 신개념 처리 기술과 같이 세계 시장을 선도할 수 있는 첨단 기술의 특허는 타 분야에 비해 미흡한 것으로 나타났다.

The industrial-scale biological treatment of Chinese nutgall processing wastewater was conducted with a $200m^3$ expanded granular sludge bed reactor and a $900m^3$ bio-contact oxidation reactor. The temperature of the two reactors was controlled under mesophilic conditions ($32-40^{\circ}C$), through changing the proportion of the dilution water, which was composed of steam condensation water and residual circulating water. The effluent COD, gallic acid, chroma, total nitrogen, total phosphorus levels and pH of both the expanded granular sludge bed and bio-contact oxidation reactors were monitored. In addition, the redox potential in the expanded granular sludge bed was recorded. The total COD removal efficiency was 87.257% when the influent COD concentration was $14\;251{\pm}3\;148mg/L$, and the ratio of wastewater: dilution water was 1:5. The removal efficiencies of gallic acid, chroma, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus were 72.221%, 43.940%, 64.151% and 39.316%, respectively. The effluent pH increased in either the expanded granular sludge bed reactor or the bio-contact oxidation reactor during the operation. The redox potential in the expanded granular sludge bed varied between -367 mV and -435 mV. The results indicate that the combined process was suitable for treating Chinese nutgall processing wastewater.

The pilot study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of air flotation(AF) processes combined with biological nutrient removal(BNR) for the retrofitting of conventional wastewater treatment facilities. The BNR system was operated in pre-denitrification and intermittent aeration; developed ceramic membrane diffusers were installed to separate the solid-liquid of activated sludge at the bottom of a flotation tank. Before performing a pilot scale study, the size distribution of microbubbles generated by silica or alumina-based ceramic membrane diffusers was tested to identify the ability of solid-liquid separation. According to the experimental results, the separation and thickening efficiency of the alumina-based ceramic membrane diffuser was higher than the silica-based ceramic membrane diffuser. In a $100m^3/d$ pilot plant, thickened and return sludge concentration was measured to be higher than 15,000mg SS/L, therefore, the MLSS in the bioreactor was maintained at over 3,000mg SS/L. The effluent quality of the AF-BNR process was 4.2mg/L, 3.7mg/L, 10.6mg/L and 1.6mg/L for $BOD_5$, SS, T-N and T-P, respectively. Lastly, it was revealed that the unit treatment cost by flotation process is lower than about $1won/m^3$ compared to a gravity sedimentation process.

염색폐수 처리를 위해 세라믹 정밀여과막 (MF)과 고분자 한외여과막 (UF)의 복합공정을 적용, 색도 및 유기물 (TOC) 제거율을 통해 공정을 최적화하고, 염색폐수의 분리효율을 조사하였다. 막 회복을 통한 운전 효율향상을 위해 역세척과 화학세정을 수행한 결과, 역세척에 의한 정밀여과막은 2분 주기로 1초 동안 역세척하였을때 투과수량이 10.3% 증가하였고, 한외여과막은 0.1% 수산화나트륨 용액으로 화학세정하였을 때 97%의 회복률을 나타내었다. 이때, 유기물, 색도, 부유물질(SS)의 제거율은 각각 84.6%, 97.4% 및 100%를 나타내었다. 분 복합공정의 적용은 염색폐수의 색도와 유기물 제거에 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate alternatives for stable operation of WWTP(Wastewater Treatment Plant) with a higher rate of inflows and a higher concentration of pollutants during wet weather to minimize the pollution loads being discharged into receiving waters. 3Q(Q: dry weather flow) of a base flow is normally intercepted and flows into WWTP as it was current practice. It is revealed by simulation that the bypassing alternative of 1Q through secondary treatment and 2Q into the stream after primary treatment was as good as it is expected. The bypass pollution loads were in the range of 23.9 ~ 38.5 % of the total loads flowing into the WWTP indicating that the bypassed flows need an extra treatment such as stormwater detention reservoir, high-rate coagulation with sedimentation, and step-feed. The high-rate coagulation with sedimentation was the most effective with respect to removal of the pollution loads.

Pre-filter system that was consisted of wasted-tire, non-woven fabrics, and sponge was developed as a primary treatment process prior to rainwater reservation or a pre-treatment process of rainwater reuse system for reclamation. By using this system, SS concentration, TOC, COD, and turbidity could decreased by 86.7%, 62.6%, 69.1% and 66.5%, respectively. From the results of particle size distribution of treated water, the particles over than $30{\mu}m$ of diameter were completely removed by pre-filter system. But 90% of particles less than $20{\mu}m$ of diameter were passed through pre-filter. Optimal depth of wasted-tire and non-woven fabrics were 15cm and 2.4cm, respectively. Pre-filter system was considered as an effective alternative for pre-treatment of rainwater including non-point pollutants and it could be also applied for the treatment of combined sewer overflow (CSO).

본고는 펄프 제지산업 폐수에 함유된 오염물질들의 특성과 생물학적 처리기술들에 대해 설명한다. 펄프 제지산업 폐수는 고농도의 생화학적 산소요구량 (BOD)과 화학적 산소요구량 (COD)을 포함하고 높은 독성을 보이며 강한 흑갈색을 띠는 것이 특징이다. 특히, 펄프의 표백공정에서 리그닌의 염소화에 의해 다이옥신, 퓨란과 같은 독성의 유기염소화합물이 형성된다는 것이 알려져있다. 이에 따라 최근 펄프 제지산업은 기존의 표백처리를 무염소공정(TCF)으로 대체하고 있다. 펄프 제지산업 폐수처리에 사용되는 모든 생물학적 기술들은 폐수와 박테리아의 접촉 메커니즘에 기반을 두고 있는데, 이것은 박테리아가 폐수 내 유기물질을 먹이로 이용하여 세포로 전환함으로써 폐수 내 BOD농도를 감소시키는 것이다. 펄프 제지산업 폐수의 생물학적 처리에서 호기성 처리와 혐기성 처리 모두 효과적인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 뿐만 아니라, 최근 곰팡이류를 이용한 생물학적 처리, 생물-응집-여과기법을 혼용한 처리 등도 폐수처리분야에 새롭게 적용되었다. 이러한 기술들로 처리된 폐수를 펄프 제지공정에 재활용함으로써 제조공정의 물소비량을 상당히 감소시킬 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 하수 슬러지 및 음폐수의 효율적인 병합처리를 위해 고온호기 전처리의 적용가능성을 알아보고자 고온호기-중온혐기 연계공정의 소화효율과 메탄가스 생성량에 미치는 영향을 비교 검증하였다. 또한, 유기물 부하량 증가에 따른 공정 내 변화 양상을 관찰하기 위해 실험실 규모의 고온호기-중온혐기 소화장치를 제작하여 음폐수를 증류수로 희석하는 비율을 1/3 (Run I), 2/3 (Run II) 및 원액(Run III)으로 줄여가며 혐기소화 공정 내 변화 양상을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 별도의 pH 조절 없이 고온호기-중온혐기 연계공정 소화조 내에서 pH가 7~8으로 안정하게 유지됨을 알 수 있었다. Volatile solid (VS)는 순응 기간 후 고온호기-중온혐기 연계공정에서 52.24% (Run I), 66.59% (Run II) 및 72.53% (Run III)의 제거효율을 보이며, 중온혐기 소화조(R3)에 비교하여 높은 VS 제거율을 보였다. 또한, 고온호기-중온혐기(R1-R2) 연계공정에서 약 1.6배 향상된 메탄 생성률이 관찰되었으며, 메탄수율의 경우에도 고온호기-중온혐기(R1-R2) 연계공정에서 현저하게 높은 값을 유지하였다.

Microalgal biofuel production from wastewater has economic and environmental advantages. This article investigates the lipid production from high chemical oxygen demand (COD) bioethanol wastewater without dilution or additional nutrients, using a newly isolated heterotrophic microalga, Chlorella vulgaris LAM-Q. To enhance lipid accumulation, the combined effects of important operational parameters were studied via response surface methodology. The optimal conditions were found to be temperature of $22.8^{\circ}C$, initial pH of 6.7, and inoculum density of $1.2{\times}10^8cells/ml$. Under these conditions, the lipid productivity reached 195.96 mg/l/d, which was markedly higher than previously reported values in similar systems. According to the fatty acid composition, the obtained lipids were suitable feedstock for biodiesel production. Meanwhile, 61.40% of COD, 51.24% of total nitrogen, and 58.76% of total phosphorus were removed from the bioethanol wastewater during microalgal growth. In addition, 19.17% of the energy contained in the wastewater was transferred to the microalgal biomass in the fermentation process. These findings suggest that C. vulgaris LAM-Q can efficiently produce lipids from high-concentration bioethanol wastewater, and simultaneously performs wastewater treatment.
