In this study, biochar-bead, prepared from biochar powder derived from woody biomass, was used for removal cadmium ion in aqueous solution. Various mixing ratios of alginate solution and biochar powder were used for the production of round shape biochar-bead. An optimum mixing ratio was selected as 1.5% alginate solution and 20 wt% biochar. The produced biochar-bead was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD analyses. The adsorption capacity of Cd(II) by biochar-bead was found to be 9.72 mg/g which was higher than that by GAC and PAC. According to this study, round shape biochar-bead is expected to be used as a media for reactive barrier or water filtration.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 쉽게 구할 수 있으며 탄화시 높은 강도를 가질 수 있는 참나무를 이용하여 생물 활성탄 공정(BAC)에 적합한 활성탄, 즉 흡착뿐만 아니라 미생물의 안식처로서의 역할을 할 수 있는 거대 세공이 많이 발달된 활성탄을 제조하는데 그 주안점을 두었다. 활성탄의 제조는 인산 침적에 의한 화학적 활성화법을 이용하여 제조하였고 제조된 활성탄의 요오드 흡착력(mg/g), 메틸렌 블루 탈색력(mg/g), B.E.T Method에 의한 비표면적($m^2/g$), 세공 크기 분포(Pore size distribution)를 분석하여 현재 생물 활성탄 공정에 많이 사용되고 있는 P사의 'picabiol' 활성탄과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 화학적 활성화법의 주인자는 인산의 침적농도, 활성화 용도, 그리고 활성화 시간이다. 이중 활성화 시간은 예비 실험으로 3시간으로 고정시켰다. 최적 활성화 온도와 인산 첨적 농도를 찾기 위하여 활성화 온도는 $600^{\circ}C$에서 $800^{\circ}C$ 로 변화시켰으며 인산 침적 농도는 35wt%에서 50wt%로 변화시켰다. 이렇게 제조된 활성탄 중 $800^{\circ}C$에서 활성화시켰을 때 모든 인산 침적 농도에서 요오드 흡착력(1000~1100 mg/g)과 메틸렌 블루 탈색력(200~400 mg/g)으로서 가장 높은 효율의 활성탄을 얻을 수 있었으며 picabiol과 비교하여 보았을 때 비슷하거나 더 높은 효율의 활성탄을 제조할 수 있었다.

Adsorption characteristics of three endocrine disruptors, amitrol, nonylphenol, and bisphenol-A, were evaluated depending on the type and service duration of activated carbon (AC). Bituminous coal-, wood-, and coconut-based coals were tested. Bituminous coal-based AC (BCAC) had the greatest sorption capacity for the three chemicals tested, followed by wood-based AC (WAC) for nonylphenol and coconut palm-based AC (CAC) for bisphenol-A. During the column test, amitrol removal efficiency increased over time, indicating that hydrophilic endocrine disruptors are biodegraded in the AC column. Removal efficiencies of hydrophobic compounds such as nonylphenol and bisphenol-A decreased over time since the main removal mechanism was adsorption. The order of the amitrol removal was: BCAC-5.9 yr, CAC-3.l yr > BCAC-2.2 yr > BCAC-virgin > CAC-virgin > WAC-virgin > WAC-3.l yr. In general, used AC had greater removals than virgin AC. The order of the bisphenol-A removal was: CAC-virgin > BCAC-2.2 yr > CAC-3.l yr > WAC-virgin > BCAC-5.9 yr > WAC-3.l yr. The order of the nonylphenol removal was: BCAC-virgin > WAC-virgin > CAC-3.1 yr, WAC-3.1yr> BCAC-2.2 yr > BCAC-5.9 yr > CAC-3.1 yr. Bituminous coal AC performed the best over time. Endocrine disruptors such as these three compounds appear to be removed effectively by activated carbon through biodegradation and adsorption. Wood and coal based among the virgin ACs and 3.1 years used wood base among the used ACs appeared the lowest carbon usage rate(CUR) for nonylphenol removal by prediction model. Virgin and used coconut base ACs except BCAC had the lowest CUR for removal Bisphenol-A. Biodegradation of nonylphenol and Bisphenol-A did not occurred during the 9,800 bed volume experiment period. BCAC had the highest biodegradation capacity of 46% for amitrol among virgin ACs and the used coal based ACs had 33-44% higher biodegradation capacity than virgin's for amitrol so biodegradation is the effective removal technology for hydrophilic material such as amitrol.

In this study, both sedimentation and thickening experiments were conducted for residuals produced from an advanced water treatment plant for more accurate and practical design of residual treatment train. In order to design a backwashed residual sedimentation basin (SRSB) in the filter backwash water recycle system, two kinds of backwash waters, one from sand filter (SFBW) and the other from GAC adsorption bed (GACBW), were separately collected and their surface loading rate measured. In addition, in order to design a gravity thickener, batch thickening tests were conducted for concentrated residuals taken from sedimentation basin and their limiting solid flux ($SF_{L}$) measured. From the experimental results and consideration of the seasonal characteristics of the residual, surface loading rate of $70m^{3}/m^{2}{\cdot}d$ was proposed as a design parameter for SRSB and solid loading rate of 20 kg $TS/m^{2}{\cdot}d$ was proposed as a design parameter for gravity thickeners. Finally, the material mass-balance was made for the design of each unit process in the residual treatment train.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal of ammonium nitrogen by biological nitrification in raw water containing LAS using BAC. At batch teats, LAS removal by ozone followed the first order reaction, and the rate constants(k) by ozone dose 1, 3mg/min.L were $0.040min^{-1}$, $0.062min^{-1}$ respectively. Therefore, the more ozone was dosed, the higher LAS was removed The reaction between ozone and ammonium nitrogen also followed the first order, and rate constants(k) at pH7,8 and 9 were $8.9{\times}10^{-4}min-1$, $3.8{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$, and $2.9{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ respectively at ozone dose of 3mg/min.L . Therefore, ammonium nitrogen was little removed by ozone under neutral pH of 7. The continuous flow apparatus had four sets composed of a ozone contacter and a GAC column. Through continuous filtration test for 50days, the following conclusions were derived; (1) LAS was removed 23%, 30% respectively by ozone dose 1, 3mg/L, and was not detected in all column effluents during the period of experiment. Therefore, it appeared that adsorption capacities of each column still remained. (2) Ammonium nitrogen concentration after ozone contact varied little in raw Water because pH of raw water was from 6 to 7, and was transfered to nitrite and nitrate within GAC columns as the result of staged nitrification. After 30days, nitrite was not detected in all column effluents due to biological equilbrium between nitro semonas and nitrobacter Average removals of ammonium nitrogen in each column after the lapse of 30days were the following; ${\cdot}$ column A (ozone dose 3mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): about 100% ${\cdot}$ column B (ozone dose 1mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): 91% ${\cdot}$ column C (ozone dose 3mg/L, EBCT 14.2min): about 100% ${\cdot}$ column D (ozone dose 0mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): 53% Though column A and C reached nitrification of about 100%, column C (longer EBCT than column A) was more stable than column A. (3) After backwash, nitrification reached steady state within 5 to 8 hours. Therefore, nitrification was not greatly affected by backwash. (4) According to the nitrification capacity in depth of column A, C, where 100% nitrification occured. LAS was removed within 20cm, while ammonium nitrogen required more depth to be removed by nitrification.

활성탄 재질별 신탄에서의 1,4-dioxane에 대한 흡착능을 평가한 결과, 석탄계 신탄의 파과시점은 BV 3600, 야자계와 목탄계 신탄의 경우는 BV 1440과 144 정도로 나타났다. 1,4-dioxane에 대한 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 석탄계 활성탄이 578.9 ${\mu}g/g$으로 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 야자계 142.3 ${\mu}g/g$, 목탄계 7.4 ${\mu}g/g$이었다. CUR은 석탄계 활성탄의 경우 0.48 g/일, 야자계와 목탄계 활성탄은 1.41 g/일과 6.9 g/일로 나타났으며 야자계와 석탄계 활성탄의 k값은 17.9와 91.5로 나타났다. 오존 단독처리 공정에서의 1,4-dioxane 제거특성을 평가해 본 결과, 2 mg/L의 오존 투입농도에서는 1,4-dioxane의 제거율이 38%인 반면 5 mg/L 고농도 오존처리로 87%의 제거율을 나타내었다. 전처리 산화공정이 없는 BAC 공정(3.1년 및 5년 이상 사용탄)에서는 부착 미생물에 의한 생물분해에 의한 제거는 없었으며 2와 5 mg/L $O_3+BAC$ 공정에서 EBCT를 $10{\sim}30$분으로 하여 운전하였을 경우 오존 단독공정에 비해 $2%{\sim}6%$ 정도 제거율이 증가한 것으로 나타나 오존처리 후의 BAC 공정은 1,4-dioxane 제거에 큰 효과가 없었다. 1,4-dioxane이 고도 정수처리공정으로 유입되었을 시 GAC 공정을 채택한 정수장의 경우 석탄계 신탄을 사용하는 것이 가장 바람직하며, 오존/BAC 공정의 경우는 BAC 접촉조의 EBCT를 증가시키는 운전 방법 보다 오존의 투입농도를 증가시키거나 오존 접촉조의 체류시간을 증가시켜 운전하는 방식이 1,4-dioxane 제거에 대해 효과적인 운전 방법으로 조사되었다.

This study aimed for developing a two stage dual media filtration system. It has a sand and activated carbon layer above the under-drain system, and a sand layer above the middle-drain system for pretreatment. When retrofitting an old sand filter bed or designing a new one, this technology can substitute the existing sand filter bed without requiring a new plant site. The removal rate of total particle is 93, and 3~7 ${\mu}m$ and 5~15 ${\mu}m$ particles are all 97%. These high removal efficiencies of each pollutant due to adsorption and biological oxidation in activated carbon filter layer. The best backwashing method of two stage dual media filtration system is ascertained by air injection, air + water injection and water injection sequence. In this study, a pilot plant of two stage and dual filtration system was operated for 4 months in water treatment plant. The stability of turbidity was maintained below 1 NTU. The TOC, THMFP and HAAFP were removed about 90% by two stage and dual media filtration system, which is almost 2 times higher than existing water treatment plant.

One of the Musty and earthy smell compounds in raw water is generally attributed to 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB). It is well known that activated carbon and oxidants such as $O_3$, Cl $O_2$, are effective ways to control 2-MIB. In isotherm equilibrium experiments, 2-MIB in distilled water was much more adsorbed to the activated carbon(A/C) than raw water containing dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The Freundlich constants(k) of distilled water and raw water were 3.36 and 0.049, and 1/n values were 0.80 and 0.42, respectively. The 2-MIB residual rate were Y = $e^{-0}$.55x/~ $e^{-0}$.54x/ with Ozone( $O_3$) dose by 5 minutes contact time at the 241 and 353 ng/L initial concentrations. The 2-MIB residual rate were Y = $e^{-0}$.32x/~ $e^{-0}$.35x/ with Chlorine dioxide(Cl $O_2$) dose by 15 minutes contact time at the 89 and 249 ng/L initial concentrations. 2-MIB was decreased from 1911 ng/L to 569ng/L by post-ozonation(70%removal efficiency) and removal efficiencies of 2-MIB by the following 4 kinds Granular Activated Carbon(GAC) process such as coal base, coconut base, wood base and zeolite＋carbon base were 95.8, 89.5, 88.4, and 93.7% respectively.ely.
