  • The differentiations in nitrogen-converting activity and microbial community structure between granular size fractions in a continuous completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) reactor, having a superior specific nitrogen removal rate of $0.24g/(g\;VSS{\cdot}h)$, were investigated by batch tests and high-throughput pyrosequencing analysis, respectively. Results revealed that a high dissolved oxygen concentration (>1.8 mg/l) could result in efficient nitrite accumulation with small granules (0.2-0.6 mm in diameter), because aerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (genus Nitrosomonas) predominated therein. Meanwhile, intermediate size granules (1.4-2.0 mm in diameter) showed the highest nitrogen removal activity of $40.4mg/(g\;VSS{\cdot}h)$ under sufficient oxygen supply, corresponding to the relative abundance ratio of aerobic to anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (genus Candidatus Kuenenia) of 5.7. Additionally, a dual substrate competition for oxygen and nitrite would be considered as the main mechanism for repression of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, and the few Nitrospira spp. did not remarkably affect the overall performance of the reactor. Because all the granular size fractions could accomplish the CANON process independently under oxygen limiting conditions, maintaining a diversity of granular size would facilitate the stability of the suspended growth CANON system.

  • Treatment performance and microbial community structure were investigated in water-soluble cutting oil treatment process using biological activated carbon. DOC removal in BACI column at $15^{\circ}C$ was higher than at $25^{\circ}C$, but those of BAC3 column after 60days was high at$25^{\circ}C$. Also, quinone content of first-step reactors at $25^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$ was much the same, but those of the third-step reactor at $25^{\circ}C$ was higher than at $15^{\circ}C$. The dominant type of two apparatus was ubquinone (UQ)-l 0 followed by UQ-8. Menaquinones were detected from $25^{\circ}C$ apparatus and effluent. This suggested that DOC removal at $25^{\circ}C$ was advanced degradation by attached microorganisms on the activated carbon surface. The DOC removal in long-term activated carbon apparatus increased with going in BAC3 column. This indicated the influent of POC was a result of DOC removal efficiency decrease. Integrated DOC removal from start point in experiment to break point and quinone content were showed a tendency of increasing with going last-step activated carbon apparatus. Therefore, the biological activated carbon apparatus used by this study was effective treatment process in contaminated groundwater by water-soluble cutting oil.

  • 본 연구는 미생물이 오염물 분해를 위해 황산염이 필요한 동전기 생물학적복원에서 황산염원의 종류가 제거효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 대표오염물과 적용 미생물은 각각 phenanthrene과 Sphingomonas sp. 3Y였다. Magnesium sulfate를 이용했을 때 Mg이온은 음극에서 전기적으로 생성되는 수산화이온과 결합하여 전해질 pH를 크게 감소시키고 미생물활성을 저해하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 따라서 ammonium sulfate와 disodium sulfate를 이용했을 때 전해질 및 토양 pH가 중성영역으로 유지되었으며 미생물 활성도 높게 유지되었다. 하지만 전자의 경우 ammonium이 미생물의 오염물 분해를 지연시켜 제거효율이 오히려 magnesium sulfate의 21.8%보다 12.0%로 더 낮게 나타났으며, 반면 후자의 경우 27.2%로 제거효율이 증가된 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 제거효율의 차이는 장기간의 처리에서는 더욱 두드러질 것으로 예상된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 미생물활성화제를 토양경작법에 적용하였을 경우 토양을 복원함에 있어 타 공법에 비해 장시간 걸리는 단점을 최소화하고, 빠른 시일 내에 친환경적으로 복원이 가능한지에 대한 타당성 조사와 더불어 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 저감 능력을 확인하였다. Pre-test의 개념으로 미생물활성화제의 성능과 분해 효율을 lab-test를 통해 확인하였으며, 유류오염 토양의 지표인 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 효과를 확인하였다. 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 처리 효과를 확인한 결과, 20일 정도까지는 자연분해와 미생물활성화제의 차이가 미미하게 발생하였으나, 20일 경과 후에는 처리 효과가 대조군에 비해 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 각층에 따른 제거율을 살펴본 결과, 상층 85.8 %, 중층 84.4 %의 제거율을 나타냈으나, 하층에서는 66.10 % 제거율을 나타냈다. 대조군에서 자연적으로 줄어드는 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 저감율이 평균 71.1 %임을 근거로 봤을 때 미생물활성화제가 하층까지 충분하게 전달되지 않은 상태로 볼 수 있었으며, 이는 토양 더미의 문제로 판단된다. 현장 실험에서는 토양 더미가 1 m 로 진행되었기 때문에 더미 높이를 0.6 m 이하로 낮추게 되면 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)의 처리효율은 더 높아질 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study represents that a removal efficiency of organic matters in wastewater is activated by a sludge process using new mixed microbial population. In case of mixed microorganisms, removal rates of suspended solid (SS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were over 90 percent under experimental condition, and removal efficiency of organic matters, sludge density index (SDI) and capillary suction time (CST) in mixed population were higher than that in not-mixed microorganism, while total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and total phosphorus (T-P) which indicate a degree of eutrophication were removed easily in both case. From these results, we may propose that an application of the mixed microbial population is useful to treat domestic wastewater including a great deal of organic matters.

  • 암모니아성 질소(NH4-N) 함유폐수의 효과적인 처리를 위하여 암모니아성 질소가 함유되어있는 식품폐수처리장의 폭기조 활성오니에 우점적으로 존재하는 미생물 중 TOC (total organic carbon) 제거율이 높은 AT2, AT9, AT12 균주와 암모니아성 질소 제거능이 우수한 FN47을 분리, 동정하였다. 이들 분리균주의 균체를 탈지강을 담체로하여 산업폐수처리용 미생물제제 FIW-1 을 제조하였다. 폭기조 분리균주들의 대상으로 폐수자체를 배양기질로 하여 배양학적 특성을 조사하였을 때 분리균주들의 기질친화성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 분리균주 중 AT12 균주(Alcaligenes sp. AT12)가 가장 높은 기질친화성을 나타내었다. 식품폐수 중의 암모니아성 질소 제거효율은 분리균주 FN47 (Microbacterium sp. FN47)의 처리구에서 71%의 제거율을 나타내었다. 실험실규모의 반응조에서 식품폐수를 이용한 연속배양 실험에서 활성슬러지만을 첨가한 경우 63% TOC제거효율을 나타내었으며, 폐수처리용 미생물제제 FIW-1을 첨가 시에는 92%의 제거효율을 나타내었다. 또한 폐수처리용 미생물제제 FIW-1의 폐수처리장 현장실험에서는 미생물제제 FIW-1을 투입한 초기 3일간의 유출수COD (chemical oxygen demand) 값은 43% 내외의 처리율을 나타내었으나, 5일이 경과하였을 때 유출수의 COD값은 62%의 처리효율을 나타내었다.

  • Direct membrane filtration (DMF) of wastewater has many advantages over conventional biological wastewater treatment processes. DMF is not only compact, but potentially energy efficient due to the lack of biological aeration. It also produces more biosolids that can be used to produce methane gas through anaerobic digestion. Most of ammoniacal nitrogen in wastewater is preserved in effluent and is used as fertilizer when effluent is recycled for irrigation. In this study, a technical feasibility of DMF was explored. Organic and nitrogen removal efficiencies were compared between DMF and membrane bioreactor (MBR). Despite the extremely high F/V ratio, e.g., $14.4kg\;COD/m^3/d$, DMF provided very high COD removal efficiencies at ~93%. Soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were less in DMF sludge, but membrane fouling rate was far greater than in MBR. The diversity of microbial community in DMF appeared very narrow based on the morphological observation using optical microscope. On the contrary, highly diverse microbial community was observed in the MBR. Microorganisms tended to form jelly globs and attach on reactor wall in DMF. FT-IR study revealed that the biological globs were structurally supported by feather-like materials made of secondary amines. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) study showed microorganisms mainly resided on the external surface of microbial globs rather than the internal spaces.

  • In this study, the influencing factors for efficient anaerobic digestion of high strength ammonia-nitrogen wastewater removal were investigated by testing biochemical methane potential test. In the influencing factors, the trace metals which could increase activity of anaerobic microorganisms, microbial concentration and types were evaluated. In the results, trace metals supplementation showed gas production amount higher than those without addition of trace metals. Among the tested trace metals, B, Ni, and Se were preferable to gas production. In the result of gas production according to the microbial concentration, the amount of gas production was proportional to the microbial concentration. In addition, the shortest lag time and the fastest gas production rate were achieved when the highest microbial concentration was tested. granule-type microorganism produced more gas than suspended-type microorganism. In conclusion, the efficient anaerobic digestion for high strength ammonia-nitrogen wastewater removal could be achieved by applying necessary trace metals injection and high concentration granule type microorganism.

  • Fluoride can be easily found in semiconductor and display industry. However, there is a lack of research for its effects on the related wastewater treatment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the microbial inhibitory effect by fluoride injection. The research entailed the assessment of removal efficiency of $TCOD_{Cr}$ according to the fluoride concentration and also the Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR) was measured. The laboratory scale reactor was prepared and operated with the fluoride concentrations of 0, 10, 50, 100, and 200 mg/L based on concentrations frequently occurring in the wastewater. The results from this study showed that, as the fluoride concentration increase, the Specific Substrate Utilization Rate (SSUR) tend to decrease as expected. Also, the increase in fluoride concentrations resulted in the decrease in SOUR. It is determined that fluoride injection affects the microbial activity. Especially, The addition of above 200 mg/L fluoride into reactor caused rapidly decreased SSUR and SOUR due to the inhibitory effects of fluoride.
