본 연구에서는 활성탄을 염화철로 표면 처리한 염화철처리 활성탄을 사용하여 지하수중의 ${NO_3}^{-}$－/-N 제거 가능성과 그 제거에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 한 것으로 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 조제된 염화철 코팅 활성탄의 표면을 SEM으로 분석한 결과를 보면 활성탄의 표면에 염화철이 코팅되어 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 2) 통수유속이 0.5~4 BV $hr^{-1}$/로 낮을 경우는 질산성 질소 파과시점이 비슷하였으며, 통수유속이 커질수록 활성탄의 비표면적에 접하는 시간이 짧아져서 파과시점이 짧아진 것으로 사료된다. 3) 연속컬럼 실험(3.1 L)에서 통수량 약 82 L까지는 ${NO_3}^{-}$/-N의 파과시점이 나타나지 않았으며 재생액의 농도가 0.5 M-KCl에서는 약 9 L, 1 M-KCl에서는 약 7 L의 재생액이 사용되었고, 재생 후 각각의 파과시점은 약 53 L, 59 L로 유지되었다. 1 M-KCl의 재생액을 사용하여 재생하였을 경우 두번째 재사용과 재생부터 총 질산성 질소 제거량은 약 1,531~l,357 mg/kg, 탈착량은 약 1,526~1,306 mg/kg으로 일정하였다.

화석연료의 연소에 의하여 방출되는 SO$_2$ 와 NO 에 의한 대기오염의 심각성은 이미 잘 알려져 있으며 그에 따른 배출규제 또한 강화되고 있다. 최근에는 탈황과 탈질을 동시에 처리하는 동시 탈황탈질 공정의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 동시제거 공정은 주로 흡수제/촉매를 토대로 개발되고 있으며 산화구리가 담지된 알루미나 (CuO/${\gamma}$-A1$_2$O$_3$) 흡수제/촉매는 SOx, NOx 동시제거에 효과적인 물질로 알려져 있다. 담지된 CuO 와 담체 A1$_2$O$_3$는 SO$_2$ 와 $O_2$ 존재하에 반응하여 CuSO$_4$ 와 $Al_2$(SO$_4$)$_3$ 가되며 [1] CuSO$_4$ 와 미반응된 CuO 는 NO 제거를 위한 촉매로서의 역할을 하게 된다 [2].

As the concentration of nitrogen in the sewage flowing into the sewage treatment plant increases due to urbanization and industrialization, the degree of adverse effects such as eutrophication and toxicity to the aquatic ecosystem is also increasing. In order to treat sewage containing high concentration of nitrogen, various studies on the biological nitrogen removal process are being conducted. Existing biological nitrogen removal processes require significant costs for supplying oxygen and supplementing external carbon sources. In this respect, as a high-level nitrogen removal process with economic improvement is required, an anaerobic ammonium oxidation process (ANAMMOX), which is more efficient and economical than the existing nitrification and denitrification processes, has been proposed. The purpose of this study is to confirm the stability of the ANAMMOX process in the water treatment process and to derive the ratio of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+) to nitrite nitrogen (NO2-) for the implementation of the mainstream ANAMMOX process. A laboratory-scale Mainstream ANAMMOX reactor was operated by applying the ratio calculated based on the substrate ratio suggested in the previous study. In the initial range, the removal efficiency of NH4+ was 58~86%, and the average removal efficiency was 70%. In the advanced range, the removal efficiency of NH4+ was 94~99%, and the average removal efficiency was 95%. As a result of the study, as the NH4+/NO2- ratio increased, the stability of the mainstream ANAMMOX process was secured, and it was confirmed that the NH4+ removal efficiency and the total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency increased. As a result, the results of this study are expected to be used as basic data in the application of the ANAMMOX process in the mainstream.

This research was conducted to investigate whether sequential anoxic/aerobic biofilm reactors and microfilteration (MF) membrane system can be used as a direct treatment for the removal of perchlorate and nitrate in groundwater. The biofilm process consisted of an anoxic first stage to remove perchlorate and nitrate and aerobic second stage to remove remaining acetate used as a carbon source for dissimilatory reduction of perchlorate and nitrate. In final stage, hollow fiber MF membrane was used to remove turbidity. In this research, perchlorate was reduced from the influent concentration of 102 ${\mu}/L$ to below the IC detection level (5 ${\mu}/L$) and nitrate was reduced from 61.8 mg/L (14 mg/L $NO_3$-N) to 4.4 mg/L (1 mg/L $NO_3$-N). Acetate used as a carbon source was consumed from 179 mg/L $CH_3COO-$ to 117 and 11 mg/L $CH_3COO^-$ in effluents from anoxic and aerobic biofilm reactors, respectively. Turbidity was reduced from 3.0 NTU to 1.5, 0.3, and 0.2 NTU in effluents from anoxic/aerobic biofilm reactors and MF membrane, respectively. It is expected that the sequential anoxic/aerobic biofilm reactors and MF membrane system can efficiently remove perchlorate and nitrate in surface water or groundwater.

The removal characteristics of ionic species, such as $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NO{_3}^-$, and $Cl^-$ by adsorption on the alumina were investigated. Alumina precusor powders were prepared from $Al(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$ and $NH_4OH$. Alumina materials prepared from the heat treatment in a furnace at $450{\sim}750^{\circ}C$ for 5 h were analysed using FT-IR and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The specific surface area of the product particles decreased significantly with treatment temperature. The adsorption capacities of $SO{_4}^{2-}$and $NO{_3}^-$ on alumina were 23 mg/g and 12.4 mg/g, respectively. But, removal efficiencies of $Cl^-$ were less than 4 mg/g. In general, the removal efficiencies of the anion species were decreased with increasing treatment temperature. The best anion removal efficiency was obtained when the alumina was treated under $450^{\circ}C$. Removal efficiencies of $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Sr^{2+}$ were increased with increasing treatment temperature.

생물학적 질소, 인 제거 공정(이하 BNR)의 운전에 있어서 최적 유입수의 C/N(COD/TKN)비, SRT 및 온도의 범위 및 정량적 수치 등은 유기물 뿐 만아니라 질소, 인의 처리 효율에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 특히, 외국과 다른 저농도 유기물 특성을 보이는 국내 하수에 대해서는 BNR 공정의 선택과 설계 및 운전인자의 선별이 무엇보다도 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 IAWQ에서 제시한 ASM No.2d를 기초로 하여 만들어진 전산모형인 Envirosim사의 Biowin 프로그램을 시뮬레이션 도구로 활용하여, 국내 하수에 비교적 적용하기 용이한 A2/O 공정과 MUCT 공정에 대한 유기물, 질소 및 인처리 효율을 비교하고 유입수의 C/N와 SRT 및 온도에 따른 질소, 인 처리 특성과 유출수의 거동 등을 파악하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 국내 하수에서는 A2/O 보다는 MUCT 공정이 질소, 인 처리효율이 더 크게 나타났다. 온도와 SRT가 일정한 상태에서 C/N비는 7이상에서 TKN과 TP제거효율이 양호하게 나타났고, 온도와 C/N비를 일정한 조건에서는 SRT가 7일을 넘어서면 효율이 급격히 낮아지는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 온도조건 실험에서는 $20^{\circ}C$이하, 특히 국내 하수처리장에 BNR 적용시 설게조건인 $13^{\circ}C$에 근접해서는 TKN의 제거효율은 급격히 떨어지는 반면에 인 제거효율이 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.

Simultaneous removal of phosphorus and nitrogen from wastewater was studied by the anaerobic-aerobic system of activated sludge. In the anaerobic stage, most of the influent glucose was removed and orthophosphate was released, when the nitrate and/or nitrite concentration in the wastewater was almost zero. The amount of the released phosphorus was found to be directly proportional to the amount of the removed glucose. When the ratio of phosphorus to glucose in the influent was less than 0.04, the phosphorus in the wastewater was almost completely removed during the aerobic state. Under the anaerobic condition, activated sludge released phosphate and excess removal of phosphate occurred during the aerobic condition. Namely, the stress received in anaerobic period stimulated the uptake of phosphorus in aerobic period. The amounts of phosphorus release in the anaerobic and uptake in the aerobic stage were less in proportional to the concentration of $NO_x-N$. Further, if the initial ratio of $NO_2-N$/glucose was less than 0.37, the inorganic nitrogen in the influent could be completely removed.

This study investigated design factors and removal efficiencies of a sheet flow channel as natural type water improvement techniques in the stream. The channel was designed considering the design factors, then constructed and monitored in the test bed of the Osan stream's floodplain. Water lever, velocity, discharge, T-P, T-N, and NO₃-N were monitored and the removal efficiencies and design formula were suggested. Overall efficiencies of T-P, T-N, and NO₃-N range 10 - 20%, and they show consistent relations with residence times. Minimum velocity requirement is also suggested from the relation of algae conditions and velocities. Relation formula of residence time and removal efficiency will be applicable in the design and operation process of a sheet flow channel.

Rhodospirillum rubrum N-1 was inoculated to manipulated swine wastewater of 20,000 mg/L as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) to study the effect of aeration on swine wastewater deodorization. Biological and physico-chemical parameters were determined at 1 day interval for 9 days. Removals of BOD, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and phosphate were 54.6%, 87.0%, and 54.5%, respectively. No significant changes were observed in the concentrations of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, nitrate, nitrite, hydrogen sulfide, and mercaptane.

본 연구에서는 수중 silica 제거에 이온교환수지의 성능이 실험되었다. 음이온 단일수지에 비해 양이온/음이온 혼합수지가 silica제거에 효과적이었고, 혼합수지에서 온도가 높을수록 교환반응속도는 빨랐다. 음이온과 양이온교환능은 용액의 pH를 변화를 측정하여 해석할 수 있었다. 용액에 공존하는 양이온인 $Na^+$는 혼합수지에서 pH변화에 영향을 주는 물질이었고, 이러한 pH의 변화는 silica의 제거능에 영향을 주었다. 각 온도에서 도달된 평형농도로부터 각 수지에 대한 silica의 선택도계수가 측정되었다.
