For waste water treatment, artificial wetland was constructed in 1998. The size of artificial wetland is 20m${\times}$200m, with sand and gravel as media and Phragmites japonica was implanted. The removal rate of BOD, TN, and TP were 86%, 33% and 25% from June 2004 to November 2005 respectively, while those were 88%, 38% and 55% in 1999. Organic materials and nitrogen compounds are still effectively removed, after 6 years of construction, but the removal efficiency of phosphorus compounds is reduced. So for sustaining of artificial wetland as waste water treatment system, the removal efficiency of phosphorus compounds must be elevated.

Statistical analysis technique was applied to operating parameters and removal efficiency data sets obtained from advanced wastewater treatment plant during 1 year. Through factor analysis three factors derived varimax rotation were selected each plant. Three components explained 96%, 87% of the total variance of the process, respectively. The components on $A_2O$ Plant were identified in the following order : 1) Shortening the SRT during high-flow period, 2) Keeping biomass high on winter 3) factor was related to DO. On DNR plant, we defined them as follows: factor 1, Prolonged the SRT during high-flow period; factor 2 was related to sludge return; factor 3, Influent BOD during low-DO period. This technique was believed to assist operators in identifying priorities to improve operation efficiency.

Railway is superior to the other land transportation systems in aspects of energy efficiency and environmental problems. Energy efficiency and environmental problems are not considered during a preliminary feasibility study. Investment for railway is low because of low B/C in the economical efficiency analysis during the preliminary feasibility study. The body of this paper studies the data which can reflect environmental problems an assessment of environmental impact. Investment for railway would be higher when main environmental elements are considered before the choice of the railway lines.

The studies on activated carbon prepared from walnut shell and groundnut shell were undertaken to ascertain the effect of initial state of precursor and activation process on the development of porosity in the resulting activated carbon. Walnut shell based carbon shows the presence of cellular pores while Groundnut shell based carbon shows fibrillar pore structure. The adsorption parameters, characterization of product and scanning electron microscopic studies carried out showed the presence of mainly Micro, Meso and Macro porosity in carbon prepared from Walnut shell while mainly micro porosity was observed in Groundnut shell based activated carbon. An interrelationship between the adsorption efficiency and porosity in terms of quality control parameters, for before and after activation, was validated through the scanning electron microscopic data.

For the removal of heavy metals, Cd, Cu and Cr were used. The initial concentration of Cd and Cu were 1-10 ppm, the removal efficiency of Cd and Cu was 76.2-89.0% and 69.0-79.0%, respectively. The initial concentration of Cr were 1~5 ppm, and the-removal efficiency was low especially at high concentration. In general, the initial concentrations of heavy metals had no relation to the removal efficiency. At the beginning, the removal efficiency was very high, but it was maintained at constant concentration. The trends of accumulations of heavy metals in the stem increased in proportion to the initial concentration. The removal efficiency of heavy metals increased a little bit when nutrients existed in the solution. So that, the initial concentration of Cd and Cu were 1-10 ppm, the removal efficiency of Cd and Cu was 84.8-91.0% and 75.9-82.0%. The initial concentration of Cr were 1-5 ppm, the removal efficiency was 25.0-67.0%.

There have been a number of efforts to satisfy national emission regulations and reduce the amount of emitted air pollutants. There are several air pollution control devices, however, only wet scrubber is efficiently used to remove particulate matters and gaseous pollutants, even if it has minimum collection efficiency in the particle size range of $0.1{\sim}1{\mu}m$. This study aimed to improve the collection efficiency of a spray tower type scrubber by introducing an electrospray system with two-flow nozzle. We found that the collection efficiency of a spray tower type scrubber was similar to that of a conventional wet scrubber. However, installation of an electrospray system in the scrubber resulted in drastic further improvement of collection efficiency comparing to that of a conventional scrubber, which is 26%, 35.2%, and 45.1% at the liquid to gas ratio of 0.26 $L/m^3$ and 19.9%, 35.1%, and 42.5% at 0.34 $L/m^3$ for the applied voltage of -30 kV, -35 kV, and -40 kV, respectively. Therefore, we found that the introduction of an electrospray system is very effective to improve the collection efficiency of a spray tower type scrubber.

In this study, the attraction efficiency of the by-pass fishway installed at Dalseong Weir in Nakdong River was assessed according to operation of the attraction waterway by using River2D which is a two-dimensional physical habitat simulation model. The model was calibrated and validated through the measured water elevation. The attraction efficiency of the fishway was evaluated at the low flow condition because the target fish, Zacco platypus (Z. platypus), have moved frequently up and downstream at the spawning season from April to June. From simulation results, it can be deduced that the attraction efficiency at situation of open attraction waterway is superior to that of close attraction waterway. Also it is shown that velocity field at inner region of the fishway is suitable for migration of the fish.

The purpose of this study is to make a design guideline in designing constructed wetland which can treat water quality both of point and nonpoint source water pollution. It focuses on structural aspects of two case studies of constructed wetland applying SSB(Sustainable Structured wetland Biotope) system in Korea. The constructed wetland of Lake Ju-am which was constructed in 2002 by Environmental Management Corporation, was designed by applying SSB system. It shows higher removal efficiency than expected - 56% of BOD removal efficiency, 60% of T-N removal, and 76% of T-P removal efficiency. In two cases, total wetland areal extents were calculated referred to treatment efficiency. The system is consist of micro-cell structures : inflow channel, forebay, multiple wetland cells and micro-pool. When designing constructed wetland appropriate in local area, the total organic system of vertical and horizontal structure : geology, hydrology, land use, and ecological surroundings of the sites should be considered totally.

기업의 환경책임에 대한 이해관계자의 관심이 높아지고, 정부의 환경규제가 강화되면서 환경경영의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 국내 기업들의 환경에 대한 인식수준은 낙후된 편이며, 환경 관련 연구들도 환경성과와 경제적 성과의 관련성에 대한 일관된 결론을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 이는 첫째, 경제적 성과는 평가범위가 상대적으로 협소하고 가격이라는 공통 단위로 측정될 수 있는 반면, 환경오염물질의 감소, 온실가스 및 탄소 배출의 감소, 에너지 효율 등과 같은 환경성과는 평가범위가 다양하고 측정단위가 상이하기 때문에 선정되는 성과지표에 따라 서로 다른 연구결과가 도출될 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 일반화되고 표준화된 성과지표의 개발이 모색되어야 하며, 특히 환경경영의 의미가 '지속성장'이란 개념으로 확장됨에 따라 이러한 정의에 부합하기 위해서는 개발된 성과지표는 환경성과와 경제적 성과의 의미를 동시에 포괄할 수 있어야 한다. 둘째, 현재 대부분의 연구는 환경경영의 실행주체인 기업의 환경투자 동기 및 환경성과에만 주목하고 있을 뿐, 환경경영의 효과적인 실천전략에 대한 명확한 기준을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 예를 들어, 경쟁업체들과의 상대적인 환경경쟁력을 비교함으로써 프로세스 개선전략 또는 시장차별화 전략을 도출하고 이를 경제적 성과와 연계하기 위한 환경전략의 선택적 대안을 제안함으로써 환경성과와 경제적 성과의 선순환적인 관계성을 확보할 수 있어야 한다. 본고에서는 첫째, 다수 투입과 다수 산출요인으로 구성된 에코효율성을 자료포획분석(Data Envelopment Analysis: DEA) 모형을 통하여 산출하고자 한다. 에코효율성을 기초로 국내 기업들의 환경경쟁력을 비교분석하고 에코효율성을 개선하기 위한 환경전략의 선택적 대안을 제시하고자 한다. 둘째, 패널분석을 이용하여 에코효율성과 경제적 성과의 인과관계를 분석하고, 합동 회귀모형을 이용하여 에코효율성과 경제적 성과의 관계성을 분석하고자 한다. 국내 23개 기업의 4개년 자료를 대상으로 DEA에서 산출된 에코효율성을 이용하여 표본기업들의 기간별 에코 효율성을 산출하였다. 산출된 에코효율성을 기초로 23개 기업의 연도별 기술효율성, 순수기술효율성 및 규모효율성을 비교하였으며 비효율적인 기업들의 에코효율성 개선 대안을 제시하였다. 또한, 에코효율성과 경제적 성과로의 인과성이 존재하고 있으며, 수익성(ROA 및 ROS) 및 기업가치(토빈 Q, 주가 및 주가수익률)와 같은 경제적 성과와 에코효율성의 관련성을 분석한 결과 에코효율성이 기업의 수익성 및 기업가치와 매우 유의적인 양(+)의 관련성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 본고의 결과는 다양한 환경변수와 경제적 성과변수를 통합한 에코효율성을 이용함으로써 환경 관련 연구들의 일반성이나 보편성을 제고할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 환경관리의 지속가능성에 대해 보다 깊은 통찰력을 제공해 줄 것으로 기대한다. 또한, DEA 모형에서 제공하는 연도별 기술효율성, 순수기술효율성 및 규모효율성의 분석결과를 이용하여 에코효율성에 대한 변화의 원인을 탐색하고 환경경영에 대한 선택적 전략을 제시함으로써 환경경영의 실행방향과 구체화된 실천목표를 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 마지막으로 본고에서 분석된 일관된 연구 결과는 기업의 환경투자가 경제적 성과로 연계될 수 있다는 점에서 선순환적인 환경경영의 동기부여 요인으로 작용할 것으로 기대한다.
