A Study on the precipitation characteristics of nickel hydroxide as well as carbonate and sulfide is carried out to determine the proper treatment condition of the wastewater induced from nickel-plating industry. The nickel concentrations in the effluent could be kept lower than 5ppm when the value of pH was maintained higher than 10. The precipitation of nickel salts by alkaline addition to the nickel containing model wastewater was conducted by using proper amount of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium sulfide. In case of the sulfide treatment, the residual nickel concentration in the clear water after precipitates removed showed the lowest value. The influences of the precipitation condition upon the particle size of the crystals precipitated were also investigated. In spite of the various precipitation conditions were adopted, the particle size of the precipitated crystals showed no great differences. The sedimentation rates of the precipitated particle bed were observed and the free sedimentation period was terminated within 20 minutes. Although the hindered sedimentation as well as bed compaction progressed subsequently, the bed heights were maintained almost the same level after two hours of sedimentation.

A lot of water is using in the paper mill for dilution, washing, sealing, and other process operation. As the regulation of water environment has been more tightened than ever before, water management in the paper mill becomes the most important task. Topics on reducing fresh water and increasing recycling water have been studied. Further, an interest in zero-effluent system has been increased. The pH of waste water in paper mill is usually weak acidic or neutral. The waste water in the paper mill includes water insoluble organic materials that are not easy to be dissolved in the water, inorganic materials that never react with water and chemical additives that are used to recycled fiber. This study investigated on the effect of various materials used in paper mill on COD. This data could be used to control the environmental load in paper mill. COD caused by raw materials and NBDCOD (Non Bio Degradable COD) after the activated sludge process are investigated in this study. Results obtained in this study can be used in a simulation program designed to control environmental load in the paper mill.

Small size privately owned wastewater treatment plants have been difficult to treat their wasted sludge and maintain steady effluent quality compared with publicly owned wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, this study has focused on treatment efficiency enhancement, specially nitrogen removal efficiency by recycling dewatering filtrate as an alkalinity additive from filter press using $CaCO_3$. As the result, it was found that the optimal mixing ratio between the excess sludge and $CaCO_3$ was 1:2. The major operation parameters such as specific substrate utilization rate, specific nitrification rate, and specific denitrification rate were also improved 64% ($0.048-0.079mg\;BOD_5/mg\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$), 35% ($0.020-0.027mg\;NH_3-N/mg\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$) and 68% ($0.051-0.086mg\;NO_3{^-}-N/mg\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$), respectively, after the adoption of new methods. Therefore, both the problem of sludge treatment at small scale plants and the need for efficiency improvement could be solved.

While structured packing modules are known to be efficient for surface wetting and gas-liquid exchange in abiotic surface catalysis, this model study explores structured packing as a growth surface for catalytic biofilms. Microbial biofilms have been proposed as selfimmobilized and self-regenerating catalysts for the production of chemicals. A concern is that the complex and dynamic nature of biofilms may cause fluctuations in their catalytic performance over time or may affect process reproducibility. An aerated continuous trickle-bed biofilm reactor system was designed with a 3 L structured packing, liquid recycling and pH control. Pseudomonas diminuta established a biofilm on the stainless steel structured packing with a specific surface area of 500 $m^2m^{-3}$ and catalyzed the oxidation of ethylene glycol to glycolic acid for over two months of continuous operation. A steady-state productivity of up to 1.6 $gl^{-1}h^{-1}$ was achieved at a dilution rate of 0.33 $h^{-1}$. Process reproducibility between three independent runs was excellent, despite process interruptions and activity variations in cultures grown from biofilm effluent cells. The results demonstrate the robustness of a catalytic biofilm on structured packing, despite its dynamic nature. Implementation is recommended for whole-cell processes that require efficient gas-liquid exchange, catalyst retention for continuous operation, or improved catalyst stability.

Hydrodynamic study of Activated Sludge Process (ASP) is important to optimize the reactor performance and detect anomalies in the system. Residence time distribution (RTD) study has been performed using LiCl as tracer on a pilot scale aeration tank (AT) and ASP, treating the pulp and paper mill effluent. The hydraulic performance and treatment efficiency of the AT and ASP at different operating parameters like residence time, recycle rate was investigated. Flow anomalies were identified and based on the experimental data empirical models was suggested to interpret the hydrodynamics of the reactors using compartment modelling technique. The analysis of the RTD curves and the compartment models indicated increase in back-mixing ratio as the mean hydraulic retention time (MHRT) of the tank was increased. Bypassing stream was observed at lower MHRT. The fraction of dead zone in the tank increased by approximate 20-25% with increase in recycle rate. The fraction of the stagnant zone was found well below 5% for all performed experiments, which was under experimental error. The substrate removal of 91% for Chemical oxygen demand and 96% for Biochemical oxygen demand were observed for the ASP working at a hydraulic mean residence time 39 h MRT with a 20% recycling of activated sludge.

In order to design the improvement process for T-N removal, the treatment process of Suyoung, Gangbyeon, and Noxan sewage treatment plants (STP) in Busan was anlayzed. Suyoung STP shows a T-N removal efficiency of about 69.8% with MLE(Modified Ludzack ettinger) and A2O+MBR. However, it is necessary to improve the process to maintain over DO of 1 mg/L and is required to install a flow control tank to minimize the rainfall effect. Gangbyun STP shows a about 70.2% T-N removal efficiency with A2O+GFF(gravity fiber filtration). However, in order to improve T-N removal efficiency, it is needed to install MLE process to treat recycle water. Noksan STP shows a T-N removal efficiency of about 71.0% with MLE+Chemical treatment and shows stable T-N concentration in effluent. However, it is required a toxic chemical management process because bad wastewater flows into the STP, also is necessary a process improvement in order to increase internal recycling ratio. Especially, it is required a process improvement to increase HRT of nitrification tank because Suyoung and Gangbyeon STPs shows low nitrification efficiency during winter season.

The overall performance of BNR-MBR, so-called Anoxic-Anaerobic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor ($A^3$-MBR), developed for nutrient removal was studied to determine the efficiencies and mechanisms under different solid retention time (SRT). The reactor was fed by synthetic high-rise building wastewater with a COD:N:P ratio of 100:10:2.5. The results showed that TKN, TN and phosphorus removal by the system was higher than 95%, 93% and 80%, respectively. Nitrogen removal in the system was related to the simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) reaction which removed all nitrogen forms in aerobic condition. SND reaction in the system occurred because of the large floc size formation. Phosphorus removal in the system related to the high phosphorus content in bacterial cells and the little effects of nitrate nitrogen on phosphorus release in the anaerobic condition. Therefore, high quality of treated effluent could be achieved with the $A^3$-MBR system for various water reuse purposes.

갈수록 심해지고 있는 전 세계적인 기후변화 문제를 해결하고 탄소배출 규제 강화에 선제적으로 대응하기 위해 정부는 2010년 '저탄소 녹색성장 기본법'을 제정하고 녹색기술과 녹색산업을 국가 신성장 동력으로 삼고 있다. 이에따라 산업시스템 전반에 걸쳐 미활용되는 폐열 사용에 대한 필요성이 부각되고 있으며, 발전소를 비롯한 대규모 산업단지에서 발생하는 폐열 및 온배수를 활용하여 열대작물재배, 넙치 등 농어업분야 재활용에 대한 연구와 적용이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전소 온배수 형태로 버려지는 폐열을 활용한 국내외 활용사례를 살펴보고 강원도 영월 LNG복합발전소의 온배수를 활용한 철갑상어 양식에 대한 경제성 평가를 실시하였다. 경제성 분석에서는 투자 리스크와 재정부담을 최소화하기 위해서 규모를 작게 시작해서 점진적으로 확대하는 3단계에 걸친 시범사업계획의 경제성을 분석하였다. 사업운영기간은 10년(2012~2021)으로 가정하고 현지조사로 확보한 기초통계량에 근거하여 단계별 외부 차입금 규모를 80%와 40%로 구분함으로써, 차입금 규모에 따른 운영 기간 내(10년) NPV(순 현재가) 및 경제성(B/C)을 추정하였다. 분석결과 외부차입금이 총 투자금액의 80%를 차지하는 경우에는 B/C가 1.79인데 반해 차입규모가 40%인 경우에는 1.81로 향상되는 것으로 추정되어 외부차입금 규모를 축소하는 것이 보다 큰 경제성을 확보하는데 중요한 요인이 됨을 알 수 있다. 본 연구결과로 발전소 폐열을 활용한 철갑상어 양식의 경제성 확보가 가능한 것으로 나타남에 따라 이를 통한 고부가가치 지역발전 사업 아이템 도출이 가능할 것이며, 더불어 지자체의 기후변화대응 역량강화에도 크게 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

최근에는 차집관거의 확충, 생활하수의 유입량 증가 및 인근 신규 APT의 분뇨 직유입으로 인해 유입 총고형 물량이 증가됨에 따라 기존 소화조의 용량이 부족할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 소화조 용량부족에 따른 효율감소에 대응하기 위해 미생물제재로써 Bio-dh를 이용하여 소화조내 소화효율 증가(유기물 분해속도 증가)에 따른 최종슬러지 발생량을 감소시키고 가스발생량을 증가시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 실제 하수슬러지를 처리하고 있는 소화조 장치와 동일한 2단혐기성소화조 형태로 설치하였으며, 용량이 $1.3m^3$인 혼합조에 하수슬러지와 미생물제재인 Bio-dh를 주입하였다. 소화방식은 중온성 2단혐기성소화조로서 $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$를 유지하였고, 1단소화조는 반응조내 미생물과 기질의 원활한 혼합을 위하여 교반기를 부착하였으며, 교반기는 120rpm으로 운전하여 반응조내 완전혼합이 이루어지도록 운전하였다. 2단소화조에서는 소화슬러지와 상등수가 분리되도록 교반을 수행하지 않았다. 소화가스량 측정을 위하여 각 소화조 상부에 가스메타를 설치하였으며, 가스분석을 위하여 상부에 가스포집구를 설치하였다. 교반기 축사이로 발생할 수 있는 발생가스의 누출과 공기의 유입을 막기 위해 water sealing 장치를 교반기 축에 부착시켰다. 실험결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 미생물제재를 투입하지 않은 경우 소화효율은 평균 48.6%(46.0~50.9%)로 나타난 반면, 미생물제재인 Bio-dh를 투입한 경우 소화효율은 평균 54.2%(52.8~57.3%)로 나타나 미생물제재를 투입한 경우가 미생물제재를 투입하지 않은 경우보다 소화효율이 약 1.12배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 2차소화조 월류수의 수질은 미생물제재 미투입시 $COD_{Mn}$은 평균 1,639mg/L, SS는 평균 4,888mg/L로 나타난 반면, 미생물제재(Bio-dh) 투입시 $COD_{Mn}$은 평균 859mg/L, SS는 평균 2,405mg/L로 나타나 미생물제재 투입시 $COD_{Mn}$은 약 47.6%, SS는 약 50.8% 정도 더 낮게 나타났다.

양식 산업의 양적 발달에 따라, 이로 인한 배출수 문제는 환경적 측면에서 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히, 육상 수조식 넙치 양식장에서 배출되는 배출물을 사료 첨가제로 사용하는 것은 환경오염 감소와 자원의 재활용이라는 측면에서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 따라서, 본 연구는 발효물 첨가에 따른 넙치, Paralichthys olivaceus의 간 및 신장의 생화학적 스트레스 반응을 조사하였다. 배출물 발효 조건 및 첨가 농도에 따른 간 중량지수, 글루타치온 함량 및 글루타치온 의존 효소활성 등을 조사한 결과 50% 발효구와 50% 농축구에서 대조구와 비교하여 각각 glutathione peroxidase 효소활성과 간 중량지수의 유의적 증가가 관찰되었지만, 이를 제외한 실험군 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과로부터 생화학적 측면에서 발효물 첨가가 간 및 신장 기능과 안전성에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 평가되며, 양식어의 사료 첨가제로서의 환경적 측면에서 고려할 필요성이 대두된다.
