The objective of this study was to analyze long-term annual and seasonal trends of water chemistry on landuse patterns and seasonal precipitation using 72 sampling sites within Namhan River watershed during 2001-2010. Water quality, based on multi-parameters of water temperature(WT), dissolved oxygen(DO), biochemical oxygen demand(BOD), chemical oxygen demand(COD), suspended solids(SS), total nitrogen(TN), total phosphorus(TP), and electric conductivity(EC) varied largely depending on monsoon rain and landuse patterns such as forest, cropland, and residence. Concentrations of BOD and COD as an indicator for organic matter pollution, increased during summer monsoon season at the cropland and residential streams. Values of TN and TP were higher in residential streams than in the forest and cropland streams. In the meantime, DO values had weak relations to the landuse patterns of forest and cropland cover. Water quality was worst in cropland and residential streams, and also most degradated in 4th order streams. Overall, our results suggest that efficient water quality management is required in the cropland and residential landuse streams.

Considering pollution source is transferred by discharge, it is very important to analyze the correlation between discharge and water quality. And temperature also influent to the water quality. In this paper, it is used water quality data that was measured DO (Dissolved Oxygen), TOC (Total Organic Carbon), TN (Total Nitrogen), TP (Total Phosphorus) at Dalchun real time monitoring stations in Namhan river. These characteristics were analyzed with the water quality of rainy and nonrainy periods. Input data of the water quality forecasting models that they were constructed by neural network and neuro-fuzzy was chosen as the reasonable data, and water quality forecasting models were applied. LMNN (Levenberg-Marquardt Neural Network), MDNN (MoDular Neural Network), and ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) models have achieved the highest overall accuracy of TOC data. LMNN and MDNN model which are applied for DO, TN, TP forecasting shows better results than ANFIS. MDNN model shows the lowest estimation error when using daily time, which is qualitative data trained with quantitative data. If some data has periodical properties, it seems effective using qualitative data to forecast.

This study analyzed the temporal and spatial characteristics of water quality for five hydropower dam reservoirs in South Korea. Water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) showed high fluctuations in summer and autumn at all reservoirs, indicating the existence of seasonal effects. At all five reservoirs, the concentrations of suspended solids (SS) and total nitrogen (TN) fell under the "slightly bad" category and those of total organic carbon (TOC) fell under the "slightly good" category or higher, according to "the standard for living environment of lake water quality." Variations in the concentration ranges and degrees of change in SS, TN, and TOC among reservoirs were observed, indicating the influences of rainfall, surrounding environments, and seasonal changes. Daecheong and Namgang Dam showed high Chl-a concentrations in summer, indicating that the metabolism of microbial communities, such as algae, was active.

2001년 12월부터 2004년 4월까지 강화도 남서부에 위치한 동막 및 여차리 갯벌에서 계절별로 퇴적물의 산소요구량과 탈질소화를 측정하여 퇴적물의 유기물 분해와 질소 영양염의 제거과정을 살펴보았다. 퇴적물 산소 요구량 (SOD;sediment oxygen demand)은 니질 함량이 높은 동막이 평균 $683\;{\mu}mole\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$이었고, 사질 함량이 높은 여차리에서 평균 $457\;{\mu}mole\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$로 동막에서 높은 값을 보였다. SOD는 여름철에 높고, 겨울철에 낮은 경향을 보였는데, 2002년 4월에는 산소가 퇴적물에 의해 소비되기보다는 생산되어 저서성 규조류에 의한 광합성이 활발함을 알 수 있었다. 탈질소화도 동막이 높고 여차리가 낮았는데, 그 값은 각각 5.4와 $3.4\;{\mu}mole\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$이며, 유기물로는 $9.3\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$과 $5.9\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$에 해당하는 양이다. 염습지를 포함한 연안 퇴적물의 탈질소화율은 $0{\sim}200{\mu}mo1e\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$의 범위에 있는데, 본 조사의 값은 낮은 편에 속했다. 탈질소화가 낮은 것은 갯벌이 유기물 농도가 높은 환경임에도 불구하고 분해하기 쉬운 신선한 유기물은 부족하여 전반적인 유기물 분해율이 낮은 것으로 사료된다. 이는 평소에는 낮은 탈질소화를 보이나, 고농도의 유기물이 유입되면, 이를 효과적으로 제거할 잠재적 능력이 있음을 시사한다. 산소요구량과 무기탄소 용출량을 통해 살펴본 강화갯벌의 유기물 순분해율(net remineralization rate)은 동막이 평균 $196\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$이고 여차리가 평균 $132\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$이었다.

This study was performed to verify the possibility of nitrification and denitrification in a single reactor. In batch type experiment, optimal point of experimental conditions could be found by performing the experiments. When supply location of microbubbles was located at half of width of the aeration tank and operating pressure of 0.5 bar, it was possible for zones in the aeration tank to be separated into anoxic and aerobic by controlling air suction rate according to operating pressure of the generator. To be specific, the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) in zone 1 and 2 of the aeration tank could be maintained as less than 0.5 mg/L. Also, in the case of concentration of oxygen in zone 3 and 4, the concentration of DO was increased up to 1.7 mg/L due to effects of microbubbles. In continuous flow type experiment based on the results of batch type experiments, the removal efficiency of nitrogen based on T-N was observed as 39.83% at operating pressure of 0.5 bar and 46.51% at operating pressure of 1 bar so it was able to know that sufficient air suction rate should be required for nitrification. Also, denitrification process could be achieved in a single reactor by using ejector type microbubble generator and organic matter and suspended solid could be removed. Therefore, it was possible to verify that zones could be separated into anoxic and aerobic and nitrification and denitrification process could be performed in a single reactor.

Excess N and P from the livestock manure applied to farmlands, have entered the water systems and poses a serious threat to the natural environment. Consequently, there has been recent awareness towards the management of livestock manure and its related fields. In this study, piggery wastewater was collected from a piggery in Pohang city, Korea. At 800℃, thermal decomposition of a natural stone, magnesite (MgCO₃), yielded powered MgO with particle sizes ranging between 10 to 100 ㎛. Furthermore, NH₄⁺-N and PO₄^3--P were recovered as struvite precipitates from the piggery wastewater, by adjusting the pH with MgO and H₃PO₄. At pH 10, the recovery efficiencies of NH₄⁺-N and PO₄^3--P were found to be 86.1% and 94.1%, respectively. Using an X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), the struvite in the precipitate was confirmed to be consistent with standard pure struvite. Further, the purity of the struvite precipitate was analyzed using an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and thermal gravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and found to be between 79.2% and 93.0%. Additionally, struvite-containing piggery wastewater and sawdust were mixed in a weight ratio of 2.5:1 and processed into a mature compost. The newly manufactured compost passed all quality standards required for first-class graded livestock composts. Moreover, this compost was sprayed directly onto the soil at the test site, and various parameters of the soil's effluent, such as total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphorus (T-P), and dissolved oxygen (DO), were analyzed and measured. Based on these results, it is determined that the newly manufactured compost can more significantly reduce water pollution than commercial compost.

본 연구는 침출수 재순환 공법과 산소요구량과 탄소요구량의 절감이 가능한 단축질소제거공법(shortcut biological nitrogen removal: SBNR)을 병합하여 침출수중의 암모니아와 유기물을 효과적으로 제거하는 방안에 대해 부피 약 200 $m^3$의 pilot 규모 매립지를 만들어 연구하였다. 매립지에서 발생한 침출수는 연속회분식반응기(sequencing batch reactor: SBR)형태의 on-site reactor에서 암모니아성 질소를 아질산으로 부분질산화 시킨 후 매립지로 재유입 시켜 지중탈질(in-situ denitrification)을 유도하였다. 침출수는 매립면적에 따른 년평균 강우량을 기준으로 약 221 L/cycle을 주당 3회 재순환 하였다. 그 결과 반응시간은 약 6시간으로 운전하였을 때 $NO_2^{-}-N/NO_x-N$의 비는 약 0.8에 이르러 효과적인 아질산 축적을 이룰 수 있었으며 온도저하로 인해 질산화의 저해가 일어나기 이전의 질산화 효율은 약 80%에 달하여 단축질소제거공정을 위한 아질산 축적이 가능함을 보여주었다. 이와 같이 SBR을 통해 질산화하여 재순환한 침출수의 $NO_x$-N는 모형 매립지 내에서 모두 제거할 수 있었으며, 침출수에 비교적 높은 농도의 황산염이 존재하여 황산염환원 및 황을 이용한 독립영양탈질반응이 매우 중요한 반응기전이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 침출수 재순환 공법과 단축질소제거공법을 병합한 조기안정화 기술은 매립지의 조기안정화와 침출수의 질소제거에 효과적인 공법으로 사용할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

The Electron/Hole Pair is generated when the activation energy produced by ultraviolet ray illuminates to the semiconductor and OH- ion produced by water photocleavage reacts with positive Hole. As a results, OH radical acting as strong oxidant is generated and then Photocatalytic oxidation reaction occurs. The photocatalytic oxidation can oxidate the non-degradable and hazardous organic substances such as pesticides and aromatic materials easier, safer and shorter than conventional water treatment process. So in this study, many factors influencing the oxidation of chlorophenols, such as inorganic electrolytes addition, change of oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere, temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, chlorophenol concentration, were throughly examined. According to the experiments observations, it is founded that the rate of chlorophenol oxidation follows a first-order reaction and the modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood relationship. And the photocatalytic oxidation occurs only when activation energy acting as Electron/Hole generation, oxygen acting as electron acceptor to prevent Electron/Hole recombination, $TiO_2$ powder acting as photocatalyst are present. The effects of variation of dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature and inorganic electrolytes concentration on 2-chlorophenol oxidation are negligible. And the lower the organic concentration, the higher the oxidation efficiency becomes. Therefore, the photocatalytic oxidation is much effective to oxidation of hazardous substances at very low concentration. The oxidation is effective in the range of 0.1 g/L-10 g/L of $TiO_2$. Finally when the ultra-violet ray is illuminated to $TiO_2$, the surface characteristics of $TiO_2$ change and Adsorption/Desorption reaction on $TiO_2$ surface occurs.

To understand the characteristics of sedimentary and benthic environments in habitats of naturally-occurring intertidal benthic macroalgae, various geochemical parameters of sediment (grain size, ignition loss [IL], chemical oxygen demand [COD], and acid volatile sulfur [AVS]) and pore water (temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrients) were measured in the southern intertidal zone of Hampyeong Bay at two month intervals from April to October 2009. Ecological characteristics including the distribution and biomass of benthic macroalgae were also investigated. Benthic macroalgae were distributed below 4 to 5 m depth from mean sea level near the lower portion of the intertidal zone where air exposure time is relatively short. The distribution area and biomass of benthic macroalgae gradually decreased during the study period. The surface sediments in the benthic algal region were mainly composed of finer sediments, such as slightly gravelly mud and mud. The temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrient concentrations (except dissolved inorganic nitrogen) in pore water did not differ in regions with and without benthic macroalgae, whereas the mean grain size and the concentrations of IL, COD, and AVS in sediments were much higher in regions harboring benthic macroalgae. The correlation between mean grain size and IL in sediments displayed two distinct gradients and the slope was much steeper in regions harboring benthic macroalgae, indicating that the content of organic matter in benthic algal region is not solely dependent on mean grain size. Our results indicate that the benthic macroalgae in the southern intertidal zone of Hampyeong Bay play an important role in the accumulation of organic matter in sediment.
