질소는 수계 부영양화를 유발하는 주요 원인이며, 수계 보호를 위해 반드시 처리해야 하는 오염물질이다. 본 연구에서는 고농도 질소를 처리하여 하수처리장 운전 효율 증대를 위한 방안을 연구하고자 하였다. 약 250일간 하수처리장 농축조상징액을 이용하여 실험실 규모 반응조를 운전하였다. 실험실 반응조 운전은 안정적인 아질산화 반응을 유도하고, 관련 운전 인자 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 체류시간 조절을 통해 인위적으로 아질산화 반응이 유도가능한 것을 확인하였으며, 안정적인 아질산화 반응이 유도되는 구간을 파악하였다. 특히, 체류시간 1일 조건에서는 90%에 가까운 고효율의 아질산화율을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 ammonium nitrogen load는 암모니아성 질소 제거율과 아질산화율에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 높은 ammonium nitrogen load 조건에서는 아질산화율과 암모니아성 질소 효율이 감소하였다. 반면, 낮은 ammonium nitrogen load 조건에서는 아질산화율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아질산화 반응을 위해 암모니아성질소 농도 및 체류시간의 조절이 필요하다는 것을 의미한다. 농축조 상징액과 같은 슬러지 처리 공정 내 고농도 질소를 함유한 폐수는 아질산화 반응을 적용할 수 있으며, 이는 하수처리장 개조 방안으로 제안 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the high strength ammonia oxidation of piggery wastewater. Laboratory scale reactors was operated using influent of piggery wastewater and effluent of anaerobic digester from piggery wastewater at $35^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. Results of various operating conditions were compared and analyzed. After analyzing the results, effluent of anaerobic digester from piggery wastewater required shorter Solid retention time (SRT) than influent of piggery wastewater. In terms of the temperature, stable ammonia removal and denitrification was achieved on the both of the condition. At the temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, nitrite conversion rate was better than $20^{\circ}C$. It can be concluded that treating the piggery wastewater using anaerobic digester on the condition of the temperature at $35^{\circ}C$ is more efficient on the nitritation of the piggery wastewater.

ASM 모델에서는 유기물을 특성에 따라 분류하는데, 일반적인 COD와 BOD로의 분류로는 ASM에서 요구하는 조건을 충족시키지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 하수종말처리장 수처리 및 슬러지 처리 계통 하수를 대상으로 미생물 호흡률을 기반으로 하여 ASM에서 요구하는 유기물 분류에 대한 실시하였다. 분석 결과 유기물 성상 분석 결과 각 하수마다 유기물 구성에서 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 각 공정의 하수를 처리할 때 반드시 파악해야 하는 중요한 하수특성이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 규명한 각 하수별 유기물 성상은 하수종말처리장의 원활한 운영을 위해 중요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 질산화 반응조 내 반응시간에 따른 유기물 및 암모니아성 질소 변화 분석을 통해 SS이 질산화에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 질산화 반응이 유도 가능한 체류시간 선정에 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The high concentration of N in the wastewater from livestock farming generally renders the efficiency of the wastewater treatment. Therefore, removal of N in livestock wastewater is crucial for successful treatment. The current study was conducted to investigate the optimum conditions for partial nitrification under anaerobic condition following nitritation in TPAD-BNR(two-phase anaerobic digestion-biological nitrogen removal) operating system. Sequential operating test to stimulate partial nitrification in reactor showed that partial nitrification occurred at a ratio of 1.24 in $NO_2{^-}$-N:$NH_4{^+}$-N. With this result, a wide range of factors affecting stable nitritation were examined through regression analysis. In the livestock wastewater treatment procedure, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) and pH range for optimum nitrite accumulation in the reactor were 1-1.5 days and 7-8, respectively. It was appeared that accumulation of $NO_2{^-}$-N in the reactor is due to inhibition of the $NO_2{^-}$-N oxidizer by free ammonia (FA) while the effect of free nitrous acid was minimal. Nitrification was not influenced by DO concentration at a range of 2.0-3.0 mg/L and the difference in the growth rate between $NH_4{^+}$-N oxidizer and $NO_2{^-}$-N oxidizer was dependent on the temperature in the reactor.

A single-stage deammonification with a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) that simultaneous nitritation, anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox), and denitrification (SNAD) occur in one reactor has been widely applied for sidestream of wastewater treatment plant. For the stable and well-balanced SNAD, a feeding strategy of influent wastewater is one of the most important operating factors in the single-stage deammonification SBR. In this study, single-stage deammonification SBR (working volume 30L) was operated to treat a high-strength ammonium wastewater (1200 mg NH₄⁺-N/L) with different feeding strategies (single feeding and nine-step feeding) under the condition without COD. Each cycle of the step feeding involved 6 sub-cycles consisted of aerobic and anoxic periods for partial nitritation (PN) and anammox, respectively. Contrary to unstable performance in the single feeding, the step feeding showed better deammonification performance (0.565 kg-N/m³/day). Under the condition with COD, however, the nitrogen removal rate (NRR) decreased to 0.403 kg-N/m³/day when the Nine-step feeding strategies had an additional denitrification period before sub-cycles for PN and anammox. The NRR was recovered to 0.518 kg-N/m³/day by introducing an enhanced multiple-step feeding strategy. The strategy had 50 cycles consisted of feed, denitrification, PN, and anammox, instead of repeated sub-cycles for PN and anammox. The multiple-step feeding strategy without sub-cycle showed the most stable and excellent deammonification performance: high nitrogen removal efficiency (98.6%), COD removal rate (0.131 kg-COD/m³/day), and COD removal efficiency (78.8%). This seemed to be caused by that the elimination of the sub-cycles might reduce COD oxidation during aerobic condition but increase the COD utilization for denitrification period. In addition, among various sensor values, the ORP pattern appeared to be applicable to monitor and control each reaction step for deammonification in the multiple-step feeding strategy without sub-cycle. Further study to optimize the number of multiple-step feeding is still needed but these results show that the multiple-step feeding strategy can contribute to a well-balanced SNAD for deammonification when treating high-strength ammonium wastewater with COD in the single-stage deammonification SBR.

본 연구는 활성탄 유동상 반응조의 암모니아 부하를 $0.1{\sim}7.5kg\;NH_3-N/m^3{\cdot}day$의 범위에서 단계적으로 증가시키면서 암모니아 부하가 질산화 효율 및 아질산성 질소의 축적에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험 결과, $1.8kg\;NH_3-N/m^3{\cdot}day$ 이상의 암모니아 부하에서는 처리수의 아질산성 질소 농도 및 질산화 효율이 변동하였지만 평균 90%의 질산화효율을 나타내었으며, 유리 암모니아성 질소의 농도가 1 mg/L 이상으로 측정되었던 $1.8kg\;NH_3-N/m^3{\cdot}day$의 암모니아 부하부터 아질산성 질소의 축적이 시작되었다. 아질산성 질소가 축적되었던 기간에는 유입수의 암모니아성 질소 농도와 반응조내의 용존산소 농도 간의 비가 100 이상이거나 처리수 $NH_3-N$ 농도와 반응조 DO 농도 간의 비가 2 이상이었다. 결론적으로, 활성탄 유동상 반응조는 고농도로 암모니아성 질소를 함유하는 폐수의 생물학적 질산화에 효과적이며, 아질산화-탈질에도 유려할 것으로 판단된다.

Biofilm airlift 반응기를 이용한 선택적 질산화는 air가 2.5 L/min, $NH_4\;^+-N$ load가 $2.5\;kg-N/m^3/d$에서 약 90% 이상의 질소 제거율과 75-90%의 아질산성 질소의 축적이 일어났다. nitrite oxidizer가 낮은 DO의 영향으로 activity가 저해를 받아서 nitrite를 산화시키지 못하여 축적을 일으킨 것으로 보인다. 반응기 내부의 미생물의 양이 가장 많은 기간에 질소 제거율이 저하하고 nitrite ratio가 약간 감소됨을 보였다. 이는 많은 미생물의 양으로 용존산소가 감소되었기 때문이다. 미생물의 양에 따른 질소 부하의 증거로 F/M 비를 맞추어 그에 따른 질산화를 관찰하는 연구를 할 수 있을 것 같다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nitrification characteristics of biological aerated filter (BAF) packed with ceramic media, especially focusing on nitrite build-up during nitrification. When increasing the nitrogen load above $1.63kgNH_4{^+}-N/m^3{\cdot}d$, ammonium removal efficiency decreased to less than 60% and the nitrite ratio ($NO_2{^-}-N/NO_x-N$) of higher than 75% was achieved due to the inhibitory free ammonia (FA, $NH_3-N$) concentration and oxygen limitation. FA inhibition, however, is not recommended strategy to promote nitrite build-up since FA concentration in the reactor is coupled with decreased ammonium removal efficiency. Nitrite ratio in the effluent was also affected by aeration rate and influent ammonium concentration. Ammonium oxidation was enhanced at a higher aeration rate regardless of influent ammonium concentration but, the nitrite ratio was dependent on both aeration rate and influent ammonium concentration. While a higher nitrite ratio was obtained when BAFs were fed with $50mgNH_4{^+}-N/L$ of influent, the nitrite ratio significantly decreased for a greater influent concentration of $200-300mgNH_4{^+}-N/L$. Taken together, aeration rate, influent ammonium concentration and FA concentrations kept in the BAF were found to be critical variables for nitrite accumulation in the BAF system.

An intermittently-aerated, intermittently-decanted single-reactor process (KIDEA process : KIST intermittently decanted extended aeration process) was applied for nitrogen removal from wastewater. Synthetic wastewater with chemical oxygen demand (COD): nitrogen (N) ratio of approximately 5.25: 1 was used. The average COD removal efficiency reached above 95%, and under optimal conditions nitrogen removal efficiency also reached above 90%. This process consisted of 72 minute aeration, 48 minute settling and 24 minute effluent decanting with continuous feeding of influent wastewater from the bottom of the reactor, and did not require a separate anoxic mixing-phase. In this process, nitritation ($1^{st}$ step of nitrification) was induced but nitratation($2^{nd}$ step of nitrification) was suppressed. Main factors responsible for the accumulation of nitrite ion in the experimental condition were free ammonium and dissolved oxygen. This condition of nitrite build-up accelerated by continuous feed flow in the bottom of the KIDEA reactor because of high concentration of ammonia nitrogen in the influent. This research provides one of answers to control nitrate build-up.

Nitrogen removal with the combined SHARON (Single reactor system for high ammonium removal over nitrite)ANAMMOX (Anaerobic ammonium oxidation) process using the effluent of ADEPT (Anaerobic digestion elutriated phased treatment) slurry reactor with very low C/N ratio for piggery waste treatment was investigated. For the preceding SHARON reactor, ammonium nitrogen loading and removal rate were $0.97kg\;NH_4-N/m^3_{reactor}/day$ and $0.68kg\;NH_4-N/m^3_{reactor}/day$ respectively. In steady state, bicarbonate alkalinity consumption for ammonium nitrogen converted to $NO_2-N$ or $NO_3-N$ was 8.4 gram per gram ammonium nitrogen. The successive ANAMMOX reactor was fed with the effluent from SHARON reactor. The loading and removal rate of the soluble nitrogen defined as the sum total of $NH_4-N$, $NO_2-N$ and $NO_3-N$ in ANAMMOX reactor were $1.36kg\;soluble\;N/m^3_{reactor}/day$ and $0.7kg\;soluble\;N/m^3_{reactor}/day$, respectively. The average $NO_2-N/NH_4-N$ removal ratio by ANAMMOX was 2.41. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis verified that Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis were dominate, which means that they played an important role of nitrogen removal in ANAMMOX reactor.
