The removal of phosphorus (P) in the wastewater is essential for the prevention of eutrophication in the river and stream. This study was initiated to evaluate the effect of the various heavy metals on the growth and P removal capacity of Pseudomonas sp., which was well known as phosphorus accumulating microorganism(PAO's) in the EBPR(Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal) process. The five heavy metals used in the study were Cu, As, Zn, Ni, and Cd. The growth rate of Pseudomonas sp. was the greatest at $25^{\circ}C$, but the removal efficiency of P was the highest at $30^{\circ}C$. The $IC_{50}$ (median Inhibition Concentration) values of Pseudomonas sp. for the Cu, As, Zn, Ni, and Cd were 2.35, 11.04, 1.80, 4.92, and 0.24 mg/L, respectively. Therefore, it appears that the sensitivity of the heavy metals to Pseudomonas sp. was in the following order: Cd> Zn> Cu> Ni> AS. Also, the P removal efficiencies by Pseudomonas sp. were correspondingly decreased as the concentrations of heavy metals were increased.

본 연구에서는 매립장 침출수 같은 중금속과 유기물을 함께 함유하고 있는 폐수를 처리하기위하여, Fe(III)을 활성탄, 모래, 불가사리와 같은 담체에 첨착 및 코팅시킨 흡착제를 사용하였다. 제조된 Iron Impregnated Activated Carbon(Fe-AC), Iron Coated Sand(ICS), Iron Coated Starfish(ICSF)는 EPA 3050B 방법을 통하여 각 매질에 함유된 철 함량을 분석하였으며, 회분식 반응조에서의 흡착실험을 통하여 각 흡착제의 Mn(II), Zn(II) 및 Cu(II)의 제거성능을 비교하였다. Fe-AC 및 ICS의 철 함유량은 각각 1,612 mg/kg 및 1,609 mg/kg으로서 매우 유사하였으며 ICSF의 철 함유량은 1,768 mg/kg으로 ICSF의 철 코팅함량이 다른 두 가지에 비해 150 mg/kg 정도 높게 나타났다. 회분식 실험에서의 Mn(II), Zn(II), Cu(II)의 제거효율은 ICSF, Fe-AC, ICS의 순으로 높은 제거율을 보였다. 각 흡착제를 단일 및 다중층으로 충전한 칼럼반응기에 의한 연속식 실험결과, 단일 흡착제에 비해 ICS, Fe-AC, ICSF의 순으로 충전한 시스템에서 높은 중금속 및 페놀제거효율을 나타내었으며, Cu(II)와 Zn(II)에 대해서는 뚜렷한 파과능을 보였으나 Mn(II) 제거율은 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 각 흡착제를 병합 충전한 다중층 칼럼반응시스템은 중금속 및 phenol제거에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

폐미역을 이용한 생물흡착제의 중금속 제거능력을 조사하기 위해 lab-scale의 생물흡착시스템에서 최적조건을 구명하고, lab-scale의 생물흡착시스템의 최적조건하에서 large-scale PBCC 시스템의 중금속 제거능력을 조사하였다. Lab-scale 생물흡착시스템별 중금속 제거능력은 PBCC보다 CSTR이 뛰어났지만 CSTR은 폐수유입속도가 48 L/day이상에서 완전혼합상태를 유지하지 못하여 안정적인 운전이 가능한 PBCC가 적합하였다. Cu용액의 유입속도 및 농도별 Cu 제거능력은 유입속도 12 L/day 및 유입농도 10 mg/L일 때 Cu용액 처리량이 가장 뛰어났으나 경제적인 부분을 검토한 결과 유입속도 24 L/day 및 유입농도 100 mg/L가 적절할 것으로 판단되었다. 처리단계별 Cu 제거능력은 컬럼을 연속식으로 배열하는 것이 Cu 제거효율이 높았다. 중금속 종류별 제거능력은 Pb, Cr의 처리효율이 높았고 Cu용액 이외의 다른 중금속 용액들도 Cu와 동등한 수준 이상의 처리효율을 나타내었다. Lab-scale의 PBCC 시스템을 27배 규모로 scale-up한 large-scale PBCC 시스템의 Cu 제거능력은 138 L로 lab-scale의 5 L와 비교하였을 때 동등한 수준을 유지하였다. 따라서 중금속 처리를 위한 최적 폐미역 활용 생물흡착시스템은 PBCC 시스템인 것으로 판단되나, 실제 중금속 폐수에 본 최적시스템을 적용하기 위해서는 중금속 폐수 특성에 따른 적용성 연구가 추가로 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Soil washing is one of the most frequently used remediation technologies for heavy metal-contaminated soils. Inorganic and organic acids and chelating agents that can enhance the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils have been employed as soil washing agents. However, the toxicity, low removal efficiency and high cost of these chemicals limit their use. Given that humic substance (HS) can effectively chelate heavy metals, the development of an eco-friendly, performance-efficient and cost-effective soil washing agent using a nano-scale chelator composed of HS was examined in this study. Copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) were selected as target heavy metals. In soil washing experiments, HS concentration, pH, soil:washing solution ratio and extraction time were evaluated with regard to washing efficiency and the chelation effect. The highest removal rates by soil washing (69% for Cu and 56% for Pb) were achieved at an HS concentration of 1,000 mg/L and soil:washing solution ratio of 1:25. Washing with HS was found to be effective when the pH value was higher than 8, which can be attributed to the increased chelation effect between HS and heavy metals at the high pH range. In contrast, the washing efficiency decreased markedly in the low pH range due to HS precipitation. The chelation capacities for Cu and Pb in the aqueous phase were determined to be 0.547mmol-Cu/g-HS and 0.192mmol-Pb/g-HS, respectively.

This study was conducted for the efficient utilization of biomaterials such as starch residue, tangerine skin, and green tea residue, which are agricultral by-products discarded in Cheju Province annually, as adsorbents and biomaterials were examined for their removal ability of heavy metal ions in waste water by batch adsorption experiments. The removal efficiency of biomaterials for heavy metal ions was above 80-90% and almost similar to activated carbon and the adsorption ability of those treated with 포르말린 was improved in the green tea residue only for $Pb^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$. In the conditions of pH, the removal efficiency of heavy metal ions was high in the range of 5-7. In the solutions which heavy metal ions were mixed, the removal efficiency was similar at $Ag^+$, $Pb^{+2}$ and reduced to about 10% at the other ions, as compared with the solutions they were not mixed. Adsorption isotherm of biomaterials was generally obeyed to Freundlich formular than Langmuir formular and Freundlich constant, 1/n were obtained in the range of 0.1-0.5.

A study of the treatment of piggery wastes using a multilayered metal-activated carbon system followed by carbon bed filtration was carried out at bench scale. From the physicochemical properties obtained from samples treated with aqueous solutions containing metallic ions such as Ag$^+$, Cu$^{2+}$, Na$^{-}$, K$^+$ and Mn$^{2+}$, main inspections are subjected to isothem shape, pore distribution with micropore, SEM and EDX. Multilayered metal-activated carbons were contacted to waste water to inwestigate the simultaneous catalytic effect for the COD, BOD, T-N and T-P removal. From these removal performance was achieved. The high efficiency of the multilayered metal-activated carbon bed, satisfactory removal performance was achieved. The high efficiency of the multilayered metal-activated carbon bed was derermined by the properties of this material for trapping, catalytic effect and adsorption of organic solid particles.

달성광산 주변 하천에서 채취한 시료를 이용하여 중금속 흡착 특성 평가를 수행하였다. 수용액 내에 존재하는 As, Cu, Cd를 대상으로 산성광산배수 침전물을 이용하여 중금속 제거 실험을 수행하였다. 중금속 흡착 물질의 주 구성광물은 황갈색(Munsell color 8.75YR 5/10)의 schwertmannite와 흑갈색의 (Munsell color 2.5YR 3/8) 침철석이다. 흡착 물질에 의한 흡착 제거 효율과 흡착량은 수용액 내의 중금속의 초기 농도와 흡착물질의 특성에 의해 좌우된다. 달성광산에서 채취한 침전물에 의한 중금속 흡착 효율은 As > Cu > Cd 순으로 나타낼 수 있다. 저농도일 때 침전물에 의한 흡착 제거 효율은 As 67.00-85.00%, Cd 26.24-29.08%, Cu 7.67-12.82% 정도이다. Cu의 초기 농도가 1 mg/L와 10 mg/L일 때, 흡착 물질이 schwertmannite인 경우 흡착량은 0.29와 1.29 mg/g이며, 침철석인 경우 0.24-1.97 mg/g으로 초기 농도가 높거나 흡착 물질이 침철석인 경우 흡착량이 더 높게 나타난다.

Cleaning is required following CMP (chemical mechanical planarization) to remove particles. The minimization of particle residue is required with each successive technology generation, and the cleaning of wafers becomes more complicated. In copper damascene process for interconnection structure, it utilizes 2-step CMP consists of Cu and barrier CMP. Such a 2-steps CMP process leaves a lot of abrasive particles on the wafer surface, cleaning is required to remove abrasive particles. In this study, the chemical mechanical cleaning(CMC) is performed various conditions as a cleaning process. The CMC process combined mechanical cleaning by friction between a wafer and a pad and chemical cleaning by CMC solution consists of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) / benzotriazole (BTA). This paper studies the removal of abrasive on the Cu wafer and the cleaning efficiency of CMC process.

Heavy metal removal by using porous mineral adsorbents bears a great potential to decontaminate sludge compost, and natural zeolite (NZ), artificial zeolite (AZ), and expanded perlite (EP) seem to be possible candidates for this purpose. A composting experiment was conducted to compare the efficiency of those adsorbents for removal of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) from sewage sludge compost with no adsorbent amendment. For this purpose, 10 g of NZ and AZ and 5 g of EP was filled in a small bag made from non-biodegradable synthetic textile and was separately mixed in composting piles. The bags were separated from compost samples at the end of the experiment. AZ and NZ exhibited different reduction potentials depending on the type of heavy metal. AZ significantly reduced Cr (43.7%), Mn (35.8%), and Fe (29.9%), while NZ more efficiently reduced Cu (24.5%), Ni (22.2%), Zn (22.1%), and Pb (21.2%). The removal efficiency of EP was smaller than both AZ and NZ. The results of this simultaneous composting and metal removing study suggest that AZ and NZ can efficiently bind metal during composting process.
