불산(HF)을 함유한 폐수는 주로 불소이온($F^-$)과 불화붕산염($BF{_4}{^-}$)을 포함하고 있으며, 불산 폐수처리는 보편적으로 칼슘을 이용한 응집 침전 공정을 사용하고 있다. 불소이온은 칼슘이온에 의해 높은 제거효율을 나타내지만 불화붕산염($BF{_4}{^-}$)의 경우 반응성이 낮아 총 불소 제거에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 알루미늄을 이용하여 불화붕산염을 분해하여 총 불소 제거 효율을 향상 시키는데 있다. 불소처리공정 모사 반응기를 이용하여 pH, 알루미늄 주입량, 수온에 따른 불화붕산염의 분해 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 알루미늄을 이용한 불화붕산염 분해는 낮은 pH와 높은 수온 그리고 Al/T-F (Aluminum/Total Fluoride) mole ratio가 증가할수록 분해속도도 증가하였으며 반응시간 120분 후에는 큰 농도변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 알루미늄을 이용한 처리를 통하여 불화붕산염을 포함한 폐수의 처리효율을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Hot air sparging is a groundwater remediation technique, in which organic contaminants volatilized into hot air from the saturated to vadose zone. In the laboratory diesel (10,000 mg TPH/kg) was spiked in contaminated saturated aquifer soil. The hot air ($34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$) was injected in intermittent (Q=1,500 mL/min, 10 minute injection and 10 minute idle) modes. We performed microcosm tests using the groundwater samples to assess TPH reductive remediation activity. For Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of eubacterial communities in sludge of wastewater treatment plants and soil of experiment site, the 16S rDNA was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from the sludge and the soil. The obtained 16S rDNA fragments were digested with Msp I and separated by electrophoresis gel. We found various sequence types for hot air sparging experiment with sludge soil samples that were closely related to Bacillus (149 bp, Firmicutes), Methlobacterium (149 bp, Euryarchaeotes), Pseudomonas (492 bp, ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria), etc., in the clone library. In this study we find that TPH-water was reduced to 78.9% of the initial value in this experiment aquifer. The results of the present study suggests that T-RFLP method may be applied as a useful tool for the monitoring in the TPH contaminated soil fate of microorganisms in natural microbial community.

The purposes of this study were to characterize the local levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), to develop source profiles of VOCs, and to quantify the source contribution of VOCs using the CMB (chemical mass balance) model. The concentration of VOCs had been measured every 6-day duration in the SRO monitoring site in the Yeosu Petrochemical Industrial Complex from September 2000 to August 2002. The total of 35 target VOCs, which were included in the TO-14 designated from the U.S. EPA, was selected to be monitored in the study area. During a 24-h period, the ambient VOCs were sampled by using canisters placing about 10 ～ 15 m above the ground level. The collected canisters were then analyzed by a GC-MS in the laboratory. Aside from ambient sampling at the SRO site, the VOCs had been intensively and massively measured from 8 direct sources and 4 general sources in the study area. The results obtained in the study were as follows; first, the annual mean concentrations of the target VOCs were widely distributed regardless of monitoring sites in the Yeosu Petrochemical Industrial Complex. In particular, the concentrations of BTX (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene), vinyl chloride were higher than other target compounds. Second, based on these source sample data, source profiles for VOCs were developed to apply a receptor model, the CMB model. Third, the results of source apportionment study for the VOCs in the SRO Site were as follows; The source of petrochemical plant was apportioned by 31.3% in terms of VOCs mass. The site was also affected by 16.7% from wastewater treatment plant, 14.0% from iron mills, 8.4% from refineries, 4.4% from oil storage, 3.8% from automobiles, 2.3% from fertilizer, 2.3% from painting, 2.2% from waste incinerator, 0.6% from graphic art, and 0.4% from gasoline vapor sources.

A laboratory experiment was performed to investigate phosphorus and nitrogen removal from synthetic wastewater by intermittently aerated activated sludge process packed with aluminum and silver plate. Three continuous experi­mental processes, i. e. an intermittently aerated activated sludge process(Run A), an intermittently aerated activated sludge process with an aluminum and silver plate packed into the reactor(Run B), and a reactor post stage(Run C) were compared. In the batch experiments, the phosphorus removal time in the reactor packed with aluminum and silver plate simultaneously was faster than that of the reactor packed with only an aluminum plate. More phos­phorus was removed with an increase of NaCl concentration. The pitting corrosion of aluminum does not affect the performance of the biological treatment. The total nitrogen removal efficiency in Run B was $57\%\;and\;43.6\%$ at the HRT of 12 and 6 hours respectively. The effluent $PO_{4-}P$ concentration as low as 1.0 mg/L could be ob­tainable through the continuous experiment in Run B at HRT of 6 hours.

In this study, the solution plasma process was utilized with the aim of degrading synthetic dyes in water at atmospheric pressure. The experiments were conducted in a batch-type reactor consisting of a symmetric wire-wire electrode configuration with rhodamine B (RhB) as the target synthetic dye. The effects of the plasma treatment time and initial dye concentration on the RhB degradation were investigated by monitoring the change in absorbance of RhB solutions. The RhB solutions turned lighter in color and finally colorless with prolonged plasma treatment time, indicating the destruction of dye molecules. The RhB solutions were found to have degraded, following the first-order kinetic process. However, for high initial RhB concentrations, another kinetic process or factor seems to play a dominant role at the initial degradation stage. The fitted first-order rate constant decreased as the initial concentration increased. This result suggests that the degradation behavior and kinetic process of the RhB solution strongly depends on its initial concentration. The RhB degradation is considered to be due to a combination of factors, including the formation of chemically oxidative species, as well as the emission of intense UV radiation and high-energy electrons from the plasma. We believe that the solution plasma process may prove to be an effective and environment-friendly method for the degradation or remediation of synthetic dye in wastewater.

In the present work, $WO_3$ and $WO_3-TiO_2$ were prepared by the chemical deposition method. Structural variations, surface state and elemental compositions were investigated for preparation of $WO_3-TiO_2$ sonocatalyst. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed for characterization of these new photocatalysts. A rhodamine B (Rh.B) solution under ultrasonic irradiation was used to determine the catalytic activity. Excellent catalytic degradation of an Rh.B solution was observed using the $WO_3-TiO_2$ composites under ultrasonic irradiation. Sonocatalytic degradation is a novel technology of treating wastewater. During the ultrasonic treatment of aqueous solutions sonoluminescence, cavitaties and "hot spot" occurred, leading to the dissociation of water molecules. In case of a $WO_3$ coupled system, a semiconductor coupled with two components has a beneficial role in improving charge separation and enhancing $TiO_2$ response to ultrasonic radiations. In case of the addition of $WO_3$ as new matter, the excited electrons from the $WO_3$ particles are quickly transferred to $TiO_2$ particle, as the conduction band of $WO_3$ is 0.74 eV which is -0.5 eV more than that of $TiO_2$. This transfer of charge should enhance the oxidation of the adsorbed organic substrate. The result shows that the photocatalytic performance of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was improved by loading $WO_3$.

A laboratory experiment was performed to investigate nitrogen removal by the soil column. The addition of 20% waste oyster shell to the soil accelerated nitrification in soil column. The $NO_3^--N$ concentration in the effluent decreased with the decrease of HRT(Hydraulic Retention Time). When methanol and glucose added as carbon sources, the average removal rates of T-N(Total Nitrogen) were 82% and 77.9%, respectively. The $NO_3^--N$ removal by methanol supplementation in soil column can likely be attributed to denitrification. In continuous removal of nitrogen using the soil column, the COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) and $NH_4^+-N$ removed simultaneously in organic matter decomposing column. The greater part of $NH_4^+-N$ was nitrified by the percolated through nitrification column, and the little $NH_4^+-N$ was found in the effluent. The T-N of 87.4% removed at HRT of 36 hrs in denitrfication column. Because of nitrified effluents from nitrification column are low in carbonaceous matter, an external source of carbon is required.

강화되는 방류수 수질기준에 맞추어 하수처리장 개조 방안의 하나로 고농도의 암모니아성 질소를 함유한 반류수를 처리하는 방안이 주장되고 있다. $35^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$ 조건의 실험실 규모 반응조 운전을 통하여 경제적인 질소 제거 방법인 아질산화 반응 유도하였다. $20^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 안정적인 아질산화 반응을 유도 할 수 있었으나, $10^{\circ}C$ 저온 조건에서는 완전 질산화 반응이 유도 되었다. 이는 온도의 영향을 받아 SRT가 길어져 완전 질산화 반응이 유도된 것으로 사료된다. 온도에 따라 아질산화 반응에 요구되는 SRT가 변화하는 것으로 볼 때, 온도와 SRT는 아질산화 반응에 중요한 인자로 판단된다. 또한 $20^{\circ}C$ 이상의 조건에서 암모니아성 질소 제거 반응과 아질산화 반응을 유도하는 것이 유리 한 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제시한 결과는 아질산화 반응을하수처리장에 적용할 때 중요한 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

The aim of this study was to compare the fouling characteristics of Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secreted by Chlorella vulgaris with the case of Bacterial-MBR (BMBR), Microalgal-MBR (MMBR) for advanced wastewater treatment using the Laboratory scale, in order to suggest a method to minimize fouling in MMBR by identifying the effects of amounts and compositions of EPS secreted by C. vulgaris and bacteria in the activated sludge on fouling. Contrary to expectations, fouling occurred relatively severely in the MMBR from the beginning of the operation than in the BMBR. Reasons for such a fouling pattern were considered to be the effect of C-EPS, which accumulates on the membrane surface of MMBR 30 times more than that on the membrane surface of activated sludge (BMBR). In this respect, according to the results of this experiment and a comparative review of several previous studies, it was confirmed that unlike activated sludge, in which the ratio of P-EPS was relatively higher than that of C-EPS, in case of C. vulgaris, the ratio of C-EPS to P-EPS was relatively higher than that in case of activated sludge. This was presumed to be the main cause of the significant fouling phenomenon in MMBR. However, an increase in TMP with increasing C-EPS concentration was not observed.
