습지는 생산성이 높고, 오염물질의 제거능력이 뛰어난 생태계로 이를 이용한 수질정화 방법에 대한 연구가 국내외에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 습지의 영양염류 제거는 유기물의 침전 흡착등의 물리적 기작, 수중 이온물질과의 결합 침전되는 화학적 기작, 식물의 흡수, 미생물에 의한 영양염류의 전환 등의 생물학적 기작의 복합적 반응으로, 물리, 화학, 생물학적 기작이 동시에 고려되어야 한다. 본 실험은 서로 다른 형태인 소택지형습지와 연못형 습지의 수질정화효과를 비교, 확인하여 영양염류 제거에 효과적인 습지의 형태와 조건을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 실험결과, 소택지형과 연못형 습지는 호기조건과 혐기조건이 모두 상층부와 하층부로 구분도어 나타나 소택지형과 연못형 습지 모두 에서 호기성 유기물 분해과정과 탈질과정이 진행되었을 것으로 예상된다. 질산성 질소의 제거효율은 소택지와 연못형 습지에서 모두 97%, 94% 로 나타났으며, 인산염인의 제거효율도 95% 이상 높게 나타나, 습지 형태에 따른 수질정화 효과는 습지 형태간 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다.

혐기-무산소조건으로 구성된 회분식 반응조에서 질산염을 이용하여 인(P)도 동시에 제거될 수 있는 가능성을 알아보기 위해서 인의 제거 양상을 혐기-호기조건의 반응조와 비교하여 조사하였고, 질산염과 인을 동시에 제거하는 미생물분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과 비교적 낮은 농도의 유기물이 적용되었을 때(평균 CODcr=130mg/ι)두 반응조 모두 인이 효과적으로 제거되었으며 반응조내의 최종 인의 농도를 1 mg P/L. 이하로 유지하였다. 특히, 질산염을 전자수용체로 이용한 혐기-무산소조건의 반응조는 기존의 영양소제거 시스템과 비교하여 5-7 mg (P+N)/ι의 영양소를 추가적으로 제거하여 유기물의 효과적 인 이용이 가능한 것으로 판명되었다. 혐기-무산조 조건의 방응조내 미생물 분포를 조사 한 결과 질소원을 제거하는 미생물군(denitrifying bacteria)과 인을 제거하는 미생물군(polyphosphate accumulating bacteria)이 함께 존재하고 있음이 밝혀졌고, 이들 중 $\beta$-proteobacteria에 속하는 Zoogloea ramigera와 Rhodocyclus에 포함되는Alcaligenes defragrans 등은 탈질능력 이 있으면서 anoxic상태에서 인을 동시에 축적할 수 있는 탈질-탈인균주(denitrifying phosphate accumulating organisms; dPAO)로 조사되었다.

The internal resistance of microbial fuel cell (MFC) using stainless steel skein for oxidizing electrode was investigated and the factors affecting the voltage generation were identified. We also investigated the effect of power management system (PMS) on the usability for MFC and the removal efficiency of organic pollutants. The performance of a stack microbial fuel cell connected with (PMS) or PMS+LED was analyzed by the voltage generation and organic matter reduction. The maximum power density of the unit cells was found to be $5.82W/m^3$ at $200{\Omega}$. The maximum current density was $47.53A/m^3$ without power overshoot even under $1{\Omega}$. The ohmic resistance ($R_s$) and the charge transfer resistance ($R_{ct}$) of the oxidation electrode using stainless steel skein electrode, were $0.56{\Omega}$ and $0.02{\Omega}$, respectively. However, the sum of internal resistance for reduction electrode using graphite felts loaded Pt/C catalyst was $6.64{\Omega}$. Also, in order to understand the internal resistance, the current interruption method was used by changing the external resistance as $50{\Omega}$, $300{\Omega}$, $5k{\Omega}$. It has been shown that the ohm resistance ($R_s$) decreased with the external resistance. In the case of a series-connected microbial fuel cell, the reversal phenomenon occurred even though two cells having the similar performance. However, the output of the PMS constantly remained for 20 hours even when voltage reversal occurred. Also the removal ability of organic pollutants (SCOD) was not reduced. As a result of this study, it was found that buffering effect for a certain period of time when the voltage reversal occurred during the operation of the microbial fuel cell did not have a serious effect on the energy loss or the operation of the microbial fuel cell.

Biotechnological treatment of sulfate- and metal-ions-containing acidic wastewaters from mining and metallurgical activities utilizes sulfate-reducing bacteria to produce sulfide that can subsequently precipitate metal ions. Reducing sulfate at a low pH has several advantages above neutrophilic sulfate reduction. This study describes the effect of sulfide removal on the reactor performance and microbial community in a high-rate sulfidogenic gas-lift bioreactor fed with hydrogen at a controlled internal pH of 5. Under sulfide removal conditions, 99% of the sulfate was converted at a hydraulic retention time of 24 h, reaching a volumetric activity as high as 51 mmol sulfate/l/d. Under nonsulfide removal conditions, <25% of the sulfate was converted at a hydraulic retention time of 24 h reaching volumetric activities of <13 mmol sulfate/l/d. The absence of sulfide removal at a hydraulic retention time of 24 h resulted in an average $H_2S$ concentration of 18.2 mM (584 mg S/I). The incomplete sulfate removal was probably due to sulfide inhibition. Molecular phylogenetic analysis identified 11 separate 16S rRNA bands under sulfide stripping conditions, whereas under nonsulfide removal conditions only 4 separate 16S rRNA bands were found. This shows that a less diverse population was found in the presence of a high sulfide concentration.

양성자 교환막 미생물연료전지(PEM-MFC)의 경우 양극의 표면적을 기준으로 유기물 제거능력을 산출하면 유기물 부하에 관계없이 $3.0gCOD/m^2$ 수준으로 나타났다. 또 안정적인 전압이 관찰된 시기의 쿨롱 효율은 22.4~23.4 %로 높지 않은 수준이었다. 양성자 교환막은 양성자뿐만 아니라 초산도 통과시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 양성자 교환막을 사용하지 않은 상향류식 미생물연료전지(ML-MFC)의 경우 다공성 RVC 전극을 사용한 관계로 전극의 외부면적당 유기물 제거능력은 $9.3{\sim}10.1gCOD/m^2{\cdot}d$로 나타났다. 이는 양성자 교환막을 사용한 경우에 비하여 3배 정도 높은 수준이다. 그러나 RVC 양극의 비표면적 차이에 따른 유기물 제거 능력 차이는 크지 않았다. ML-MFC의 경우 전기 발생이 안정적이지 못하였으며, 쿨롱 효율도 3.6~3.7 %로 매우 낮은 수준이었다. 전기 발생량이 안정적이지 못한 것은 음극에 성장한 미생물의 영향으로 판단된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 음극부의 공기주입량을 증가시키면 일시적으로 전기 발생이 증가하였으나 오래 지속되지 못하였다.

In this study, an experiment was conducted on influent water with low concentrations of organic matter, such as river water or secondary treatment water of a sewage treatment plant, according to HRT changes by using aerobic biofilm. In the biofilm process, as the biofilm increases in thickness, the inner membrane can be low in oxygen transfer rate and become anaerobic conditions, while the detachment of biomass from biofilm occurs. To overcome these limitations in the detachment of microorganisms in biofilm, the yarn, which was made from poly propylene(PP), was weaved and manufactured into a tube. Then, a test was carried out by injecting air so that the interior of the biofilm could create aerobic conditions. The results of the experiment showed that the removal efficiency of $TCOD_{cr}$ reached 66.1~81.2% by HRT 2hr, and 50.9 ~61.8% after HRT 1 hr. The removal efficiency of $SCOD_{cr}$ was 45.9 to 55.1% by HRT 1hr, and 26.1% in HRT 0.5hr, showing the highest removal efficiency in HRT 1hr. The SS removal efficiency was at 81.8 to 94.6%, and the effluent SS concentration was very low, indicating less than 2.2 mg/L in all HRT's. As a result, the $SCOD_{cr}$ and $NH_4{^+}$-N that were removed per specific surface area and attached to microbial biofilm showed the highest efficiency in HRT 1hr with 8.37 $gSCOD_{cr}/m^2{\cdot}d$, 2.93 $gNH_4{^+}-N/m^2{\cdot}d$. From the result of reviewing the characteristics of biofilm growth, microorganisms were found to be attached, and increased by 36 days. Later, they decreased in number through detachment, but showed a tendency to increase again 41 days later due to microbial reproduction.

경유를 sandy loam 토양에서 농도별로 투여하여 토양미생물군집에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며 또한 경우가 첨가된 토양에서 경유의 신속한 제거를 위해 실시한 bioremediation에 의한 영향을 측정하였다. 경유는 토양에서 16주 후 약 50% 내외의 잔류량을 나타내며 bioremediation 처리시 제거율은 60~95% 정도가 증가하여 16주 후 약 8~20 범위의 잔류량을 나타내었다. 토양에 경유가 첨가되었을 때에는 세균직접계수, 진균류의 균사 길이, 호기성 종속영양세균과 탄화수소 분해세균의 수가 최고 10 내지 100배 정도 증가하였다. Bioremediation 처리시에는 그 증가가 더욱 두드러져 각종 미생물 개체수 측정치가 최고 100배 내지 1000배까지 증가하였다. 경유가 fluorescein diacetate 가수분해 활성에 미치는 영향은 bioremediation 처리를 하지 않은 토양에서는 뚜렷한 증감의 경향이 없었으나 bioremediation 처리를 한 토양에서는 10배 내외의 활성의 증가를 보였으며 이러한 양상은 soil dehydrogenase 활성에서도 유사하게 나타났다.

A sequencing batch reactor was operated under different pH conditions to see the influence of pH to microbial community in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems. Long term influences of different steady-state pH conditions on the microbial community composition were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The shift in populations from polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) to Alphaproteobacteria was observed when pH was changed from 7.5 to 7.0. Alphaproteobacteria with the typical morphological traits of tetrad-forming organisms (TFOs) eventually became dominant members. The alphaproteobacterial TFOs were the phenotype expected for glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs), which accumulate large amount of glycogen into the cell. The results strongly suggested that low operational pH condition encourages the appearance of the GAOs in EBPR process, significantly reducing the EBPR capacity.
