This study was based on water quality data of the Lake Doam watershed, monitored from 2010 to 2013 at eight different sites with multiple physiochemical parameters. The dataset was divided into two sub-datasets, namely, non-rainy and rainy. Principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis (FA) techniques were applied to evaluate seasonal correlations of water quality parameters and extract the most significant parameters influencing stream water quality. The first five principal components identified by PCA techniques explained greater than 80% of the total variance for both datasets. PCA and FA results indicated that total nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, total phosphorus, and dissolved inorganic phosphorus were the most significant parameters under the non-rainy condition. This indicates that organic and inorganic pollutants loads in the streams can be related to discharges from point sources (domestic discharges) and non-point sources (agriculture, forest) of pollution. During the rainy period, turbidity, suspended solids, nitrate nitrogen, and dissolved inorganic phosphorus were identified as the most significant parameters. Physical parameters, suspended solids, and turbidity, are related to soil erosion and runoff from the basin. Organic and inorganic pollutants during the rainy period can be linked to decayed matters, manure, and inorganic fertilizers used in farming. Thus, the results of this study suggest that principal component analysis techniques are useful for analysis and interpretation of data and identification of pollution factors, which are valuable for understanding seasonal variations in water quality for effective management.

유기질 지반은 압축성과 투수성이 매우 커서 구조물을 시공하는 데 많은 문제를 발생시켜 토지의 효율적인 이용을 어렵게 한다. 이러한 지반에 특별한 공법을 적용하여 유기물의 함량을 감소시킬 수 있다면, 지반의 공학적 성질을 어느 정도 개선할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 유기질 지반내 유기물 함량을 감소시켜 시공후 침하문제를 해결하기 위해 호기성 생분해처리법(aerobic biodegradation)을 이용하여 지반내 유기물의 함량을 감소시키는 방안에 대해 연구하였다. 생분해처리 효과를 높이기 위해 고령토에 톱밥을 심어 조제한 모형 유기질 지반에 산소를 공급하고, 시간 에 따른 용존산소량, 유기물 함량의 변화를 관찰하였다. 산소원으로는 과산화수소 수용액과 산소가 스를 사용하였다. 본 실험을 위해 새로 제작한 직경 130 mm, 높이 300 mm 의 압축시험기로 100 일 동안 모형압축시험을 하였다. 시험결과 산소가스와 영양분을 공급한 시료는 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 압축량이 30% 정도 더 크게 나타났다. 영양분으로는 $K_2aHPO_4,\; 보다 \;NaNO_2$>, 를 첨가하는 것이 더욱 효과적이었다. 또한 시료에 아지드 나트릅을 사용하여 미생물의 작용을 확인하였다.

Biologically treated water contains a large quantity of organic matters and microorganisms which can cause various problems to membrane. The membrane fouling occurred by these reasons is hard to control by single physical cleaning. This study analyzes the efficiency of aeration with chemical backwashing and foulants removal during chemical backwashing. The cleaning efficiency improves when the chemical concentration is high and the contact time of chemical is long. Chemical backwashing with aeration shows exceptional cleaning efficiency which leads the physical cleaning is required during chemical backwashing since it forms flow inside the membrane submerged tank. From the foulants removal analysis, the particles such as turbidity and TOC removal rate increase when the aeration is applied. Dissolved matter of DOC and UV254 removal is dependent on higher chemical concentration. According to FTIR analysis, one of major foulants, the polysaccharide is controlled by the chemical backwashing with aeration condition.

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 Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) existing in a water includes both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances however, most of the discussion focuses on hydrophobic substances. The hydrophobic fraction was easily removed by absorption or coagulation more than hydrophilic fraction. Therefore, control of the hydrophilic fraction is very important in water treatment process. This study is to determine the variation of DOC, the removal efficiency of DOC, and Trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) after each stage of water treatment process by fractionating Natural Organic Matters (NOM) into hydrophobic and hydrophilic substance. DOC from raw water was fractionated at acidic pH (pH<2) using XAD 8 resin column, into two fraction : hydrophobic substance (i.e. humic substance) adsorbed on XAD 8 and hydrophilic substance which represent the organics contained in the final effluent. THMFP was carried out according to the following set condition: Cl2/DOC=4 mg/mg, incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ in darkness, pH 7 adjust with HCl or NaOH as necessary, and 72hour-contact time. THMs analyzed in this study were chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethan, and bromoform. Sewage was almost evenly split between the hydrophobic (56%) and hydrophilic fraction (44%). But, Aldrich humic substance (AHS) was found to contain less hydrophilics (14%) than hydrophobics (86%). The formation of THMs may depend on the source which is characterized by the composition of organic matters such as AHS and sewage. The THMFP yield of sewage and AHS were assessed as follows. The value of the THMFP reaction yield, AHS $172.65{\mu}g/mg$, is much higher than that of sewage $41.68{\mu}g/mg$. This illustrates possible significant difference in THMFP according to the component type and the proportion of organic matter existing in water source. Apparently AHS react with chlorine to produce more THMFP than do the smaller molecules found in sewage. Water treatment process may reduce THMFP, nevertheless residual DOC (the more hydrophilic substance) has significant THMFP. Further reduction in organic halide precursors requires application of alternative treatment techniques.

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.

본 연구는 1987년 9월 8일, 9일 양일간에 걸쳐 24시간 동안 곤리도 금성수산 방어 가두리 양식장에서 해산어류 양식장${\cdot}$가두리의 방양한도를 산정하는데 기초자료로 쓰일 수 있는 용존산소 수지를 해석해 보기 위하여 실시하였다. 가두리에 수용된 당년생 방어 2,800kg이 1일간 소비하는 산소량은 $3.09g/m^3$였고, 가두리 안의 수체에 의하여 소비되는 산소량은 $1.24g/m^2{\cdot}day$였으며, 수중 식물성 플랑크톤에 의해 생산공급된 산소량과 대기로 부터 해수중으로 녹아 들어간 산소량의 합계는 수중 유기물의 분해와 플랑크톤의 호흡을 포함하는 수조자체의 산소소비량의 $43\%$를 감당하는 수준이었고, 그 나머지 $57\%$와 사육어가 소비하는 다량의 산소는 가두리 안밖으로 교류하는 해수유동에 의하여 공급되고 있었다. 이 어장의 가두리에 수용할 어체량은 해수교환율에 의해 결정되는 듯이 보이며, 어장내의 조류에 대한 가두리 배치방식에 따라 해수교환율이 달라지게 될 것이므로 가두리마다의 해수유통에 따라 수용량을 조정할 필요가 있다 하겠다.

Development of shale gas has drawn increasing attention since it is one of promising alternative energy resources. However, contamination of groundwater and surface water during the extraction of shale gas is becoming a serious environmental issues, which brings the needs to treat wastewater generated from hydraulic fracking. In this study, the feasibility of membrane distillation (MD) for the treatment of shale gas wastewater was investigated using a laboratory scale experimental setup. Flat-sheet MD membranes were used to treat produced water from a shale gas well in the United States. Different configurations such as direct contact MD (DCMD) and air gap MD (AGMD) were compared in terms of flux and fouling propensity. The foulants on the surface of the membranes were examined. The results suggest that MD can treat the shale gas produced water containing more than 200,000 mg/L of total dissolved solids, which is impossible by other technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO) and forward osmosis (FO). In this study, we investigated the possibility of processing and characterization of shale gas produce wastewater using membrane distillation. Laboratory scale membrane distillation experimental device was developed. It was compared the flat-sheet direct contact membrane distillation and flat-sheet air gap membrane distillation. AGMD flux in lower than the flux of DCMD, it was expected that the contamination caused by organic matters.

We have examined the pollutant load of combined sewer in dry days. Two monitoring sites (C-1, C-2) were equipped with an flowmeter. Monitoring was conducted from September 2004 to April 2006 for 20 months during dry days. Flowrate and concentration of pollutants are lowest from 3 to 6 o'clock, and it is high at 9, 12 and 21 o'clock. Most of organic matters exist in the dissolved state. The results show that pollution loads in C-2 area were 4.5-7.2 times higher than in C-1. Pollutant loads were high on Saturdays. Pollutant loads (kg/ha/day) of C-2 were 1.1-3.1 times higher those of C-1. However there was no significant difference in winter. Analysis of correlation coefficient of water quality parameter indicates that besides of flowrate all items in C-1 site have tight relationship respectively (p<0.01). In C-2 site, correlation coefficient of TP-SS, TP-TN, TP-flowrate, BOD-flowrate, BOD-SS and TN-TP are statistically significant (p<0.01).

A flotation process has a shorter processing time and needs less space than a sedimentation process. Dissolved air flotation process (DAF) is an efficient flotation method and used in a conventional wastewater treatment process. However, DAF requires the circulation of water containing compressed air and requires expensive installation and operation cost. Plasma Air Flotation (PAF) process is able to float flocs by micro bubbles generated from underwater plasma without the circulation of bubbly water and additional saturators. Therefore, PAF can be an alternative solution overcoming economic barriers. In this study, Humic acid removal efficiency by PAF process was compared with that of sedimentation process. 44.67% and 87.3% reduction rate based on UV 254 absorbance has been measured in sedimentation and PAF respectively. In particular, PAF in the flocculation zone can dramatically remove humic acid from water. In flocculation zone, PAF can separate organic matters but sedimentation cannot.
