In the study, Ni²⁺ (nickel) removal from synthetically prepared wastewater by electrocoagulation method, which is one of the electrochemical treatment processes, was investigated and parameters such as current density, pH, mixing speed, initial Ni²⁺ concentration, supporting electrolyte type and concentration were determined to determine Ni²⁺ removal efficiencies effects were studied. Experiment conditions during 30 minutes of electrolysis; the current density was determined as 0.95 mA/cm², the initial pH of the wastewater was 6, the mixing speed was 150 rpm, and the initial nickel concentration was 250 mg/L. The Ni²⁺ removal efficiency was obtained as 75.99% under the determined experimental conditions, while the energy consumption was calculated as 3.15 kW-h/m³. In the experiments, it was observed that the type and concentration of the supporting electrolyte did not have a significant effect on the Ni²⁺ removal efficiency. In the trials where the effect of the support electrolyte concentration was examined, the Ni²⁺ removal efficiency was 75.99% in the wastewater environment without the supporting electrolyte, while the Ni²⁺ removal efficiency was 81.55% when 7.5 mmol/L NaCl was used after the 30-minute reaction, and the energy consumption was 2.15 kW-h/m³ obtained as. As a result of the studies, it was concluded that the electrocoagulation process can be applied in the treatment of wastewater containing Ni²⁺.

산업하수 내 함유된 고농도 중금속(니켈)은 하수처리장 질산화율 감소의 원인으로 지목되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고농도 니켈을 함유한 산업하수의 질산화율 분석 및 개선 방안을 도출하고자 실험실 규모 반응조 운전을 실시하였다. 운전 결과를 고농도 니켈을 함유한 경우 질산화율은 20% 내외로 낮은 범위를 보였지만, 저농도 니켈이 유입되었을 경우 질산화율이 향상(70% 이상)되었다. 질산화율의 차이를 보인 주요 원인은 니켈이 반응조 내 미생물의 활성을 감소시킨 것으로 AUR과 SNR 분석을 통해 나타났다. 또한 고농도 니켈이 유입될 경우, 체류시간 증가와 더불어 질산화율이 증가하였다. 즉, 고농도 중금속(니켈)을 함유한 하수의 경우 미생물 관리 및 체류시간 증가를 통해 안정적인 질산화율을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

석유화학공정에서 발생하는 산화철폐촉매를 이용하여 폐수 중 중금속회수에 관한 기초연구를 실시하였다. Zn, Ni, Cu, 및 Fe의 농도가 200mg/L인 각각의 합성폐수에 폐촉매 첨가량을 변화하여 실험한 바, 각 금속의 98% 회수율을 얻은 폐촉매 첨가량은 Cu 와 Fe 폐수 ：2％ 이상, Zn 폐수：3％ 이상, Ni 폐수 ：7％ 이상이었다. 또한 폐산화철 촉매로서 Zn, Ni, Cu 및 Fe 금속의 98％ 이상 회수할 수 있는 각각의 폐수 pH는 Ni： 10.6 이상, Cu： 8.0 이상, Fe：6.5 이상, Zn：8.5 이상이었다. 따라서 폐산화철 촉매에 의한 폐수 중 중금속 회수는 폐촉매의 알카리성분에 의한 침전이 주 메카니즘이고, 각 금속의 수산화침전 pH이하 폐촉매의 등전점(pH 3.0) 이상의 pH범위에서는 금속이온이 폐촉매 표면에서 물리흡착에 의해 일부 회수된다.

Plating wastewater containing various heavy metals can be produced by several industries. Specifically, we focused on the removal of copper (Cu2+) and nickel (Ni+) ions from the plating wastewater because all these ions are strictly regulated when discharged into watershed in Korea. The application of both nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies for the treatment of wastewater containing copper and nickel ions to reduce fresh water consumption and environmental degradation was investigated. In this work, the removal of copper (Cu2+) and nickel (Ni+) ions from synthetic water was studied on pilot scale remove by before using two commercial nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis(RO) spiral-wound membrane modules (NE2521-90 and RE2521-FEN by Toray Chemical). The influence of main operating parameters such as feed concentration on the heavy metals rejection and permeate flux of both membranes, was investigated. Synthetic plating wastewater samples containing copper ($Cu^{2+}$) and nickel ($Ni^{2+}$) ions at various concentrations(1, 20, 100, 400 mg/L) were prepared and subjected to treatment by NF and RO in the pilot plant. The results showed that NF, RO process, with 98% and 99% removal for copper and nickel, respectively, could achieve high removal efficiency of the heavy metals.

Electrochemical ion exchange method is expected to be one of the most acceptable techniques for the separation of radioactive cations from nuclear wastewater. In this study a thin film of hexacyanoferrate on nickel surface was derivatized chemically in an aqueous potassium-ferricyanide solution. Electrochemical redox behavior of the nickel hexacyanoferrate(NiHCNFe) film electrode was investigated with the use of cyclic voltammetry potentiostated from -100 to 800 mV versus SCE. The electro-reduction characteristics of the NiHCNFe film were examined in the cobalt solutions. The NiHCNFe ion exchanger was more useful at lower concentration, lower temperature, and pH7 of the cobalt solution. The capacity loss of NiHCNFe was 0.018%/cycle that was less than the average loss of 2~3%/cycle of the convective organic exchanger. The 45~55% of the initial cobalt ions was electro-deposited on the NiHCNFe by using continuous recirculating reactor system. As a result, it was found that the electroactive NiHCNFe films showed better performance than the organic resins for the separation of cobalt ion from the aqueous solutions.

망간단괴 제련 과정에서 니켈 이온의 회수량을 높임과 동시에 니켈 폐수를 제거하기 위한 기초 연구를 수행하기 위해 인공니켈 폐수와 실폐수에 대해 흡착제로 망간단괴를 사용하여 고정층 연속 흡착 실험을 하였다. 인공니켈폐수에 대한 고정층 흡착 칼럼의 충전층 높이, 유입수의 유량, 그리고 유입되는 니켈폐수의 농도를 변화시키면서 흡착 특성의 변화양방을 검토하였다. 흡착실험의 결과를 Bohart-Adams식에 적용하여 고정층 칼럼에서의 흡착량 및 흡착속도상수를 계산하여 비교하였다. 또한 고정 흡착층 파과곡선으로부터 유입수의 유량과 흡착질의 초기농도의 변화에 따른 각 칼럼의 흡착량의 변화를 검토하였다. 직렬 연결 칼럼들에 대해 초기 칼럼에서 최종 칼럼으로 흡착이 진행됨에 따라 흡착량은 상승하는 것으로 파악되었다. 실폐수를 고정층 칼럼에 유입하여 흡착특성을 살펴 본 결과, 충전층 높이에 따른 흡착양상의 변화가 인공폐수와 달리 뚜렷하게 관찰되지 않았는데 이는 인공폐수에 비해 실폐수 중의 $Ni^{2+}$의 농도가 현저히 높기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 실폐수의 흡착율에 미치는 망간단괴 입자크기의 영향에 대한 검토에서는 흡착제 입자가 작아질수록 니켈 이온의 흡착율이 다소 상승하는 것으로 파악되었다.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the removal characteristics of COD, Ni, and P and to derive appropriate operating conditions for the plating wastewater according to NaOCl reaction time and pH operating conditions in the BPC unit process during the plating wastewater treatment process. As a results of evaluating the removal characteristics for raw wastewater by each BPC unit process, the removal efficiencies of COD, Ni and P in BPC 1-1 unit process were 72.8%, 99.1%, and 100.0%. Therefore, the proper reaction time of NaOCl was derived as 21.1 minutes. In order to maintain the +800 mV ORP and the reaction time of 20 minutes, the temporary injection and continuous injection of NaOCl in the BPC unit process were 13.7 mL and 18.7 mL, respectively. It was found that the temporary injection method of NaOCl reduced the chemical cost by 36.5% compared to the continuous injection method. Also, Ni showed the highest removal efficiency of 97.8% at pH 10.5. On the other hand, P showed a removal efficiency of 57.4% at pH 10.0.

중금속 오염원을 제거하는 기술을 개발하고자 미나리를 도입하여 중금속 종류에 따른 적정 농도별로 중금속 흡수, 정화효율성 및 식물체내에서 중금속 축적과 이행과정을 조사하였다. 미나리를 이용한 중금속 정화효율성은 Cd의 경우 미나리 정식 6일 후 Artificial solution 처리구와 문막 공업폐수 처리구는 각각 53%, 73%의 정화효율성을 보였으며, Cu의 경우에는 각각 28%, 100%의 정화효율성을 보였다. 환경부에서 규정한 Cd의 청정지역 배출허용기준인 0.02 mg/L은 모든 처리구에서 10일 이후에 나타났으며, Cu의 기준농도인 0.5 mg/L은 Artificial solution 처리구의 경우 10일 이후, 문막 공업폐수 처리구는 3시간 이후에 나타났다. 또한 시간이 경과함에 따라 미나리내 중금속의 축적농도는 높아지는 경향을 보였으며, 처리구의 오염수 중금속 농도보다도 5$\sim$10배 이상 축적되었다. 미나리 식물체에 흡수된 중금속의 뿌리에서 지상부로의 이행율은 Artificial solution 처리구에서 Cd은 25%, 문막 공업폐수 처리구에서 Cu는 25% 이행하였다. 중금속에 대한 미나리의 생육반응은 문막 공업폐수 처리를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 미나리 생장이 억제되는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구결과 미나리는 중금속 오염수의 중금속 정화를 위한 식물정화기술에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study evaluated the fertilizing value of struvite deposit recovered from swine wastewater in cultivating lettuce. Struvite deposit was compared to complex fertilizer, organic fertilizer and compost to evaluate the fertilizing effect of struvite deposit. Laboratory pot test showed that the struvite deposit better enhanced lettuce growth in comparison to commercial fertilizers. It was revealed that the growth rate of lettuce was simultaneously controlled by phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg). Moreover, nutrients such as nitrogen (N), P, K, calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were abundantly observed in the vegetable tissue of struvite pot. Meanwhile, struvite application led to the lower accumulation of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), chromium ($Cr^{6+}$) and nickel (Ni). In addition, no detection of cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and nickel (Ni) in the lettuce tissue was observed in struvite application pots. The experimental results proved that the optimum struvite dosage for lettuce cultivation was 0.5 g struvite/kg soil. The column experiments clearly showed that ammonia nitrogen was more slowly released from struvite deposit than from complex fertilizer. Consequently, it was concluded that the struvite deposits recovered from swine wastewater were effective as a multi-nutrient fertilizer for lettuce cultivation.
