An experimental study for the comparison of nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies between $A^2/O$ and modified Phostrip (M-Phostrip process) were carried out with bench-scale reactors. In case of nitrogen removal efficiencies both of processes showed similar ones when influent organic loadings were high. However, M-phostrip process was more effective than $A^2/O$ at low organic loadings. This is why M-phostrip process consumes the whole mass of influent organics as a carbon sources for denitrification in anoxic reactor but the anoxic reactor of $A^2/O$ process utilizes the residual carbon followed by consumming a part of influent carbon for phosphorus release in anaerobic reactor. $A^2/O$ process required the influent COD/T-P and COD/TKN ratios were more than 56 and 10, respectively, to take place the phosphorus release in anaerobic process and phosphorus uptake in oxic process. However, the luxury uptake of phosphorus in M-phostrip process was not affected by influent COD/T-P and COD/TKN ratios and the adverse effect of nitrate in return sludge introduced to the p-stripper from the 2nd clarifier was not significant due to the configurational advantage of the p-stripper.

실제 도로현장에 Pilot plant 규모의 비점오염물질 처리장치를 적용하여 강우사상에 따른 유출과 각 오염물질에 대한 처리특성을 조사하였다. 발포고분자 여재를 충전시킨 여과컬럼은 90분 이후에 막힘 현상이 발생되어 유입수의 bypass 현상이 발생되었다. SS 200 mg/L 이상의 고농도가 처리조로 유입될 경우 반응시간 60분부터 유출수의 처리효율이 급격히 저하되었다. 고형물질 농도(SS) 180 mg/L 이하에서는 안정적인 처리가 이루어졌다. $COD_{Cr}/SS$ 비는 중간값 0.67로 분석되었으며, SS의 제거는 $COD_{Cr}$의 제거와 밀접하게 나타났다. SS와 $COD_{Cr}$의 평균 제거율은 각각 92.1%와 82.3%로 나타났다. 유입수의 TP 농도가 0.5 mg/L 이하일 경우 처리수질이 0.1 mg/L 수준에서 안정적인 처리를 나타내었고, 1.0 mg/L 이상으로 유입될 경우 처리수의 수질은 평균 0.2 mg/L를 초과였다. TN의 경우 4~10 mg/L로 반응조로 유입될 경우 처리수질은 1.5~3.0 mg/L 수준을 유지하였다. TP와 TN 각각의 평균제거율은 73.9%, 50.4%이다.

Wetland system is widely accepted as one of natural water purification systems around the world for nonpoint sources pollution control. Constructed wetlands have become a popular technology for treating contaminated surface and waste water. In this study, the field experiment to reduce nonpoint source pollution loadings from polluted stream waters using wetland system was performed from June 2002 to March 2004. Four wetlands were used and the size of each one was 0.8ha. Water of Dangjin stream flowing into Seokmun estuarine reservoir was pumped into wetlands. Inflow and hydraulic residence time of the system was 500 $m^3$/day∼1,500 $m^3$/day, 2∼5 days, respectively. After 2 year operation, plant-coverage of the wetlauds was about 70% from bare soil surface at initial stage . Average water quality of the influent was $BOD_5$ 4.17 mg/L, TSS 18.45 mg/L, T-N 4.32 mg/L, and T-P 0.30 mg/L. The average removal rate of $BOD_5$, TSS, T-N and T-P during the study period was 5.6%, 46.6%, 45.7%, and 54.8%, respectively. Organic ($BOD_5$) removal rate was low and the reason might be low influent concentration. Wetland removal rate of T-P was about 10% higher than T-N. Performance of the experimental system was compared with existing data base (NADB), and it was within the range of general system performance. Overall, the wetland system was found to be adequate for treating polluted water stream with stable removal efficiency even during the winter period. Most of the nonpoint source pollutions from watershed are transported by streams or ditches, and they could be controled by constructed wetland system before entering the lake or reservoir.

The fractionation characteristics of organic matter were investigated in inflow and effluent of each other pollution sources and river. While the DOC/TOC ratio in the influent of public sewage treatment plant and livestock disposal facilities was above 0.58, the POC/TOC ratio of human livestock Night soil treatment plant and stormwater runoff was more than 0.7. The TOC removal efficiency of public sewage treatment plant and human livestock Night soil treatment plant were 88.5 % and 99.6 %, respectively. Although the concentration distribution of organic matter pollution most of total organic carbon (TOC) in effluent of pollution sources accounted for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) type (DOC/TOC ratio >0.89) and Refractory-DOC (RDOC)/TOC ratio was higher (>0.65). The fractionation characteristics of organic matter in river were similar with that of sewage treatment plant and TOC concentration showed the positive correlation with DOC ($r^2=0.93$) and RDOC ($r^2=0.89$) concentration. The decay rate of Labile DOC (LDOC) (avg. $0.128day^{-1}$) was higher than labile particulate organic carbon (LPOC) ($0.082day^{-1}$), while that of DOC ($0.008day^{-1}$) was lower than POC ($0.039day^{-1}$) (paired t-test, p < 0.001, n = 5). These study results suggested that it should consider important both TOC and DOC as the target indicator to control refractory organic matter in pollution sources.

This study intends to evaluate the efficiency of non-point source reduction technique by using the porous lightweight and recycled aggregate which microorganism is seeded. In case of infiltration velocity 30~70 mm/hr in high concentration of influent, it is indicated that SS was 40~94%, COD 44~91%, BOD 4~91%, TN 1.2~66%, TP 7~70% of removal efficiency. Removal efficiency is good in infiltration velocity 30 > 50 > 70㎜/hr order. Therefore, the non-point source treatment facility filled with lightweight and recycled aggregate using microbial seeding shows higher removal efficiency than a conventional sand and gravel. We confirm that the function and efficiency are improved significantly and applied to treat non-point sources.

The purposes of this research are to identify the source and to analyze the pathway of nitrate contamination in "cultural village", Jeungpyeong. In order to examine recharge processes and flow pattern that closely related to the influent of nitrate contaminant, the flow field was simulated and the oxygen and hydrogen stable isotopes were analyzed. The nitrogen isotope was used to delineate contaminant sources. The shallow groundwater was mainly composed of precipitation, but leakage of domestic water and sewage contributed to the recharge. Nitrate contaminants were possibly from the leakage of sewage and animal waste. The nitrate concentration decreased due to dilution by low concentration water.ion water.

This study was conducted to evaluate water treatment characteristics according to vegetated wetland(V) and open water(O) arrangements in free water surface constructed wetland. Three pilot-scale wetlands, V-V, O-V and V-O, were built and operated. $BOD_5$ was a slightly reduced at all the arrangements because the influent concentration was so low as background concentration of constructed wetlands. While T-N and T-P removal efficiency showed higher than 50% for all cases. The O-V arrangement showed the highest removal efficiency: 20% for $BOD_5$, 56% for SS, 59% for T-N and 72% for T-P. Effluent concentration of the O-V were significantly low compared with those from the V-O. O-V arrangement would be beneficial in the light of pollutant removal efficiency as well as construction cost.

To evaluate the impact of effluents from land-based fish farms on the coastal ocean of Wando, Korea, we analyzed inorganic nutrients, particulate organic carbon (POC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the effluent and influent of land-based fish farms during the summer (July) of 2021. The average concentrations of nutrients (Dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate; DIN, DIP, and DSi, respectively) in the effluents of this study area were 17±3.7 μM, 1.4±0.7 μM, and 14±1.6 μM, respectively. The average concentrations of POC and DOC were 37±22 μM and 81±13 μM, respectively, with POC accounting for about 30% for total organic carbon in effluents. The Reduced Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen/Total Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen ratio (0.7), potential short-period index, indicates that the discharge of nutrients excreted by the fish and unconsumed feed into coastal water results in such nutrients being deposited and accumulated in the sediment. Subsequently, this continuous accumulation triggers the release of ammonium ions during organic matter decomposition, and the ammonium-enriched waters that encroach on fish farms as influent seem to be due to the diffusion of high concentrations of ammonium from bottom sediment. Furthermore, we used fluorescence indices to examine the characteristics of organic matter sources, obtaining mean values of 1.54±0.19, 1.06±0.06, and 1.56±0.06 for the humification index, biological index, and fluorescence index, respectively, in the effluent. These results indicate that the organic matters had an autochthonous origin that resulted from microbial decomposition, and such organic matters were rapidly generated and removed by biological activity, likely supplied from the sediment. Our results suggest that the effluent from land-based fish farms could be a potential source of deoxygenation occurrence in coastal areas.

질소화합물은 부영양화 등 수질을 악화시키는 결과를 초래하므로 질소 제거는 수처리에 있어 가장 중요한 문제들 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 독립영양탈질 공정인 CANON (Completely Autotrophic Nitrogen-removal Over Nitrite)을 이용하여 암모니아성 질소 제거 효율을 평가하고, 미생물 군집 분석을 수행하였다. AOB (Ammonium Oxidizing Bacteria)와 ANAMMOX(ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation)균을 동시에 식종하고, $37^{\circ}C$에서 유입 암모니아성 질소농도 100 mg-N/L와 아질산성 질소 농도 100 mg-N/L 조건으로 운전한 결과, 성공적인 CANON 반응이 유도되었다. 유입수에서 아질산성 질소를 제외시키고 암모니아성 질소(100 mg-N/L)만을 공급하였을 때, DO농도 0.4 mg/L 이상에서는 CANON의 성능이 악화되었지만, DO농도를 0.3 mg/L으로 낮추자 71.3%의 총 질소제거효율을 나타내었다. 유입 암모니아성 질소 농도를 50 mg-N/L로 낮추었을 때, 질소 제거효율이 급격히 악화되었다. 그러나 유입농도를 다시 100 mg-N/L로 증가시키자 14일 만에 이전의 질소제거성능을 회복하였고, 이후 $76.1{\pm}4.9%$의 총 질소제거효율을 나타냈다. 온도를 상온($20{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) 조건으로 전환하자 초기에는 불안정한 CANON 반응이 일어났지만, 23일 이후에는 안정적인 총 질소제거효율($70.0{\pm}2.6$%)을 유지하였다. PCR-DGGE를 이용한 미생물군집 분석 결과, 식종원과 CANON의 미생물군집은 확연한 차이를 나타냈지만, CANON의 각 조건에 따른 미생물군집은 크게 다르지 않았다. 따라서 질소제거 성능의 악화는 미생물군집을 구성하는 미생물종의 변화에 기인하기 보다는 구성 미생물종들의 질소제거 활성의 저하에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 결과는 AOB와 ANAMMOX균을 식종하여 CANON 반응을 성공적으로 유도한다면, 이후 농도나 온도의 변화에도 안정적인 미생물군집을 유지할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.
