This study used the extensive monitoring datasets of the Korea Ministry of Environment to examine trends in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Han River raw water. To estimate the organic contents of water, we adopted allied parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) as substitutes for DOC. Spatial and temporal analyses were performed on monthly BOD and COD data from 36 monitoring stations (14 for Main Han River, 7 for North Han River and 15 for South Han River) measured from 1989 to 2007. The results of trend analysis indicated that, on the whole, water quality according to BOD showed a downward trend at more than 67% of monitoring stations (9 for Main Han River, 6 for North Han River and 9 for South Han River). However, the water quality of COD showed an upward trend at more than 78% of monitoring stations (8 for Main Han River, 7 for North Han River and 13 for South Han River). The upward trend of COD contrary to the BOD trend indicates that there has been an increase in recalcitrant organic matter in Han River water that is not detectable by means of BOD.

영산강의 유기물 농도와 플럭스를 파악하기 위하여 2006~2015년까지 10년 동안 약 2주 간격으로 영본D 지점에서 강물을 채취하여 유기물(DOC, POC)을 분석하였다. DOC 농도는 연평균 $2.49{\sim}4.39mg{\cdot}C/L$ 범위로 연중 중영양상태가 유지되었고, 조류증식 및 강수에 의한 증감에 따라 30.1% (${\sigma}_x/\bar{x}$) 변동하였다. POC는 2006년 $6.68({\pm}2.80)mg{\cdot}C/L$에서 2015년 $0.19({\pm}0.14)mg{\cdot}C/L$로 10년간 점진적으로 무려 97% 감소하였으며, 2011년 보건설을 기점으로 극적인 변화를 보였다. 이는 보에 의한 정체와 거름망 효과에 기인한 것으로서 보건설 전후로 POC와 SPM 관계의 상이함, 보건설 이후 POC와 chlorophyll-a의 관계로부터 POC의 기원 및 조성의 극명한 변화가 유도된 사실을 파악하였다. TOC 농도는 POC 감소효과로 보건설 이후 52.3% 줄었고 POC:DOC 존재형태 비 또한 DOC가 90.9%에 달하는 압도적 우위를 차지하였다. 하구언 배수량을 이용해 계산된 TOC 플럭스는 $2.56{\sim}19.41{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C/yr$ 범위에서 점진적 감소가 뚜렷하였으며, 2011년을 기점으로 전후 5년 평균 $14.54{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C/yr$에서 $5.40{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C/yr$로 62.9% 줄었다. 따라서 보건설 이후 2015년까지 $9.14{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C$, 즉 매년 약 $1.83{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C$의 유기물이 하상에 축적되었을 것으로 추정된다.

The purpose of this study is to illustrate the characteristics of soil organic matter (SOM) and partition coefficient $(K_{DOC})$. Humic substances (HS) from eight soils of varying properties were extracted by two different methods. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration was stabilized in 22hrs. The ratio of UV absorbance at 465nm and 665nm (E4/E6 ratio) for HS were similar pattern for 8 soils. The extraction with increasing pH increased dissolution of SON. The ratio of organic carbon (OC) associated with HA and FA (the HA:FA ratio) was varied widely in accordance with the soils and was highly correlated to OC $content(\%)$ of the soils. in modeling metal speciation in soils and soil solutions, assumptions that all DOC in soil solution is associated with FA and that HA:FA ratio in SOM is constant have been made. The results of this study indicate that the validity of these assumptions is questionable. By sequential pH extraction, the $K_{DOC}$ showed in a linear correlation with pH.

음요수 중의 유기탄소의 제거수단으로써 biofiltration법의 타당성을 검토하였다.NOM에서의 생분해 가능한 분율을 알아보기위하여 행하여 졌다. UV 조사량을 3가지로 달리하였을 경우에 회분식에서의 생분해능과 비교하였다. 생물여과 반응기 실험의 경우에 생분해 특성을 검토한 결과 EBCT, 순환비 및 유입농도등과 같은 운전피라미터들이 생물여과 반응기의 생분해능에 영향을 미침을 알 수있었다. 생물여과 반응기의 유출수에서의 UV/DOC의 비는 반응기에 공급되는 원료중의 UV/DOC비에 비해 증가하였으며, 이로부터 생분해에 의해 저거된 DOC는 UV에 의해 그다지 흡수되지 않는 물질임을 알 수있었다. 본 여눅를 통해 생분해 가능한 DOC의 부분을 제거하는데 있어서 생물여과공법이 효과적인 방법이라는 것을 알수있었으며 UV처리와 bilfiltration을 연계한 공정은 수처리 시설에서 유출수의 DOC농도는 낮추는데 효과적인 한가지 방안으로 사료되었다.

염소 소독시 유기성 클로라민 생성에 대한 대부분의 연구가 모델 화합물질(예, 아미노산)을 사용한 연구결과로, 실제 자연상태에서 발생된 용존유기질소(DON)에 의한 유기성 클로라민 생성에 적용할 수 없다. 본 연구는 지표수에서 추출된 16개 천연유기물질(NOM)을 사용하여 염소 소독시 DON이 유기성 클로라민 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 크게 염소 주입량과 반응시간, 그리고 DON 분자량이 유기성 클로라민 생성에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 염소 주입량을 변화시킨 시험결과, 소비된 염소량 1 mg당 0.25 mg이 유기성 클로라민으로 전환되었다. DON은 염소와 반응하여 10분 이내에 빠르게 유기성 클로라민을 생성하였고, 그 후 계속해서 분해(가수분해, 산화)되었다. 반응시간 10분과 24시간의 유기성 클로라민 평균값은 각각 0.78과 $0.16mg-Cl_2/mg-DON$이었다. NOM의 DOC/DON 비율이 낮을수록, 즉 NOM내 DON의 함량비가 높을수록 유기성 클로라민 생성율이 높았다. 10,000 Da 분획시험 결과, DON의 분자량은 유기성 클로라민의 생성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다.

Two different methods for TOC (Total Organic Carbon) analysis of livestock manure including high strength solid organics were evaluated. Firstly, an analyzing method by dilution after pre-treated by Ultrasonicator and 100 mesh sieve for homogenization was defined as TOC 1; and secondly method divided by particulate organic carbon (POC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was defined as TOC 2. 116 samples collected from 56 farms were analyzed in TOC1, TOC2, BOD and VSS. TOC1 method showed higher accuracy at less than 30,000 mg/L of TOC while TOC2 method presented significant reliability at over that concentration. Regarding to the sample with the same VSS concentration, the correlation between TOC 2 and VSS (${\rho}$: 0.806) was slightly higher than that between TOC 1 and VSS (${\rho}$: 0.784), resulted from a relatively low loss of solids and a low error probability (dilution and homogenization effects) in the analyzing procedures. In addition, the reliability between POC and VSS in TOC2 was high and the POC was about 4.4 fold that of the VSS. Consequently, TOC 2 without dilution effect was assessed as a proper method to increase the analyzing accuracy of swine manure including high solid organics.

In this study, we investigated coagulants such as polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and ferric chloride ($FeCl_3$) and the combination of a coagulant and powdered activated carbon (PAC) for the removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from fish processing effluent to reduce membrane fouling in microfiltration. The efficiency of each pretreatment was investigated through analyses of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm ($UVA_{254}$). Membrane flux and silt density index (SDI) analyses were performed to evaluate membrane fouling; molecular weight distributions (MWD) and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (FEEM) spectroscopy were analyzed to assess DOM characteristics. The results demonstrated that $FeCl_3$ exhibited higher DOC and $UVA_{254}$ removals than PACl for food processing effluent and a combination of $FeCl_3$ and PAC provided comparatively better results than simple $FeCl_3$ coagulation for the removal of DOM from fish processing effluent. This study suggests that membrane fouling could be minimized by proper pretreatment of food processing effluent using a combination of coagulation ($FeCl_3$) and adsorption (PAC). Analyses of MWD and FEEM revealed that the combination of $FeCl_3$ and PAC was more efficient at removing hydrophobic and small-sized DOM.

Seasonal and vertical distribution of water quality were investigated from May 2001 to June 2002 in Kumoh reservoir located nearby Kumi City, Kyungpook. Kumoh reservoir that lost the role of agricultural irrigation is currently of rapid eutrophication. The vertical distribution of DO was observed clinograde with hypolimnetic anoxic zone. T-P concentrations at the surface ranged from 0.008 to 0.152 mgP/L and T-N concentrations ranged from 1.4 to 3.0 mgN/L. The vertical and seasonal variation of T-N was smaller than T-P. DOC concentrations, indicator of organic matter pollution, ranged from 2.8 to 5.4 mgC/L. Apportionment of Total-DOC (T-DOC) indicated that 14% of T-DOC was attributed to Labile-DOC(L-DOC) and the rest was due to Refractory-DOC(R-DOC). The values of TSI(Trophic State Index) ranged between 44 and 52 indicating that Kumoh reservoir is under mesotrophic condition. The results of this study indicate that Kumoh reservoir is likely to be under influence of eutrophication and thus water quality will be aggravated. Therefore, the Kumoh reservoir requires further treatment to improve water quality and a plan of the reusing water resource should be developed.

Changes in the characteristics of dissolved organic matter was studied at selected stations in the Nakdong river basin using physical and chemical methods. Characteristics of dissolved organic matters were analysed and assessed. Production of disinfection byproducts were also investigated. 1. Result of relatedness study among each items of analyses showed that relatedness on BOD values were highest with cattle excrement treatment facilities where there is no synthetic organic materials and relatedness on $COD_{Mn}$ were highest at the mainstream Nakdong river. In case of $COD_{Cr}$ (which has more oxidative power than $COD_{Mn}$), the values were higher in the sidestreams indicating the higher content of recalcitrant compounds. The relatedness values for the $UV_{254}$ also showed higher values in the sidestreams and treatment facilities than mainstream indicating the presence of organic aromatic compounds. 2. Ratio of DOC on total organic carbon were higher in the mainstream which is attributable to the influent particulate organic materials produced by agricultural activities. The values were 10-15% higher in the mainstream compared with sidestreams. 3. Result of biodegradability test indicate that concentrations of recalcitrant DOC were higher in the sidestreams than in the mainstream. The values of recalcitrant DOC were higher with the forest stream indicating the effect of soil oriented humic substances. 4. Result of THM production test carried out at 10 stations in the Nakdong river show that $CHCl_3$ was detected with the highest value and the value was highest at Waekwan station.

The objective of this study was to clarify the characteristics of the removed micropollutant since the breakthrough of adsorption ability was occurred in biological activated carbon(BAC) process. The removal efficiency of DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) was 36 % in the breakthrough of BAC occurred by NOM (Natural Organic Matter). The most of removal DOC was found out the adsorbable and biodegradable DOC (A&BDOC). But it was not clear to remove by any mechanism because A&BDOC have simultaneously the adsorption of activated carbon and biodegradation by microorganism in BAC. The removal of bromophenol was examined with BAC and rapid sand filter, for investigation of DOC removal mechanism in the breakthrough of BAC. In this experiment, BAC filter has been operated for 20 months for the treatment of reservoir water. The BAC filter was already exhausted by NOM. Bromophenol, adsorbable and refractory matter, was completely removed by BAC filter. Therefore, it might be removed by the adsorption in BAC. Adsorption isotherms of bromophenol were compared to two BACs which was preloaded with 500 daltons and 3,000 daltons of NOM. BAC preloaded with 3,000 daltons of NOM was not decreased to the adsorbability of bromophenol but BAC preloaded with 500 daltons of NOM was greatly decreased to it. These result indicated that NOM of low molecular weight can be removed by adsorption after a long period of operation and the breakthrough by NOM in BAC. Therefore, micropollutants might be removed through adsorption by saturated BAC.
