This study estimated the effect of influent TAN concentration. temperature and pH in the airlift bioreactor(aeration rate; 1.5 vvm, HRT 0.35hr) using immobilized nitrifiers by PVA. At the effect of influent TAN concentration, removal rate was increased with increasing it and removal efficiency maintained 93${\pm}$2%. The optimum temperature for nitrification was $30^{\circ}C$ and at this point. removal efficiency was 95.5${\pm}$1.5%. It was effective to nitrify at $10^{\circ}C$ of low temperature. In the pH range from 7 to 9 in the bioreactor. removal rate and removal efficiency was 310${\pm}$10 $g/m^3$ day and 94${\pm}$3%.

The pH efforts on the removal of 1,4-dioxane and the biodegradobility enhancement of dioxane contaminated water were investigated using $O_3/H_2O_2$ baled advanced oxidation process. Experiments were conducted using a bubble column reactor under different initial pH. The $O_3/H_2O_2$ process effectively converted 1,4-dioxane to more biodegradable intermediates which had a maximum $BOD_5$ enhancement at pH 11 within the experimental range, precisely, when the initial pH increased, $BOD_5$ enhanced. However, in case of removal efficiencies of 1,4-dioxane during $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation the optimum condition was shown at pH 9 compared with pH 6 and 11. TOC and COD values were not largely changed for all reaction time. From the results of 1,4-dioxane removal efficiency, TOC, COD, and $BOD_5$ enhancement with reaction time, it was surely observed that 1,4-dioxane was just converted to biodegradable materials, not completely oxidized to carbon dioxide.

The possibility of using carica papaya leaf powder for removal of copper from wastewater as a low cost adsorbent was explored. Different parameters that affect the adsorption process like initial concentration of metal ion, time of contact, adsorbent quantity and pH were evaluated and the outcome of the study was tested using adsorption isotherm models. A maximum of 90%-94.1% copper removal was possible from wastewater having low concentration of the metal using papaya leaf powder under optimum conditions by conducting experimental studies. The biosorption of copper ion was influenced by pH and outcome of experimental results indicate the optimum pH as 7.0 for maximum copper removal. Copper distribution between the solid and liquid phases in batch studies was described by isotherms like Langmuir adsorption and Freundlich models. The adsorption process was better represented by the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity of copper was measured to be 24.51 mg/g through the Langmuir model. Pseudo-second order rate equation was better suited for the adsorption process. A dynamic mode study was also conducted to analyse the ability of papaya leaf powder to remove copper (II) ions from aqueous solution and the breakthrough curve was described by an S profile. Present study revealed that papaya leaf powder can be used for the removal of copper from the wastewater and low cost water treatment techniques can be developed using this adsorbent.

본 연구의 목적은 칼슘염을 함유한 레미콘 슬러지를 이용하여 불소함유폐수를 물에 난용성인 $CaF_2$ 화합물 형태로 침전시켜 처리하는데 있어 pH, 레미콘슬러지 주입량, Seed물질 주입량, 교반속도, 교반시간의 최적 조건을 도출하고자 하는데 있다. 실험결과 레미콘 슬러지를 이용한 대상폐수의 $CaF_2$ 침전 반응에서 함수율 및 불소의 제거효율 등을 고려할 경우 최적의 pH 6, 레미콘 슬러지 주입량은 10 g/L, Seed 물질 주입량은 2 g/L, 교반속도은 100 rpm, 교반시간은 60 min으로 관찰되었다. 이 때 Seed 물질의 주입은 불소제거효율에는 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났지만 침전물의 형성이 되는 반응을 촉진시키고 플럭형성을 원활하게 하여 고액 분리가 잘 되어 함수율이 낮아지는 결과가 나타났다.

Natural organic matters(NOMs) are found everywhere such as soil, surface and ground waters and consist of both humic and nonhumic components, and their heterogeneith makes each source unique. This study was carried to evaluate the removal characteristics of NOMs by mixing coagulants and the variation of apparent molecular weight distribution(AMWD) in coagulation process. Ratio of optimum coagulants dosage for removal of DOC and turbidity by mixing coagulants was 1.83 mM F $e^{3+}$/mM $Al^{3+}$. DOC removal increased at lower pH. The pH6 control focused on the removal of organic matters could reduce the amount of coagulant consumption by 2 to 3 times based on the pH8.5 of natural water. The dissolved organic matters in the natural water from the mid-stream of Han River were composed of the low molecular weight(LMW,<1 K) of 59.7%, and the medium and high molecular weight(M.HMW, 1~30 K) of 40.3%, respectively. At pH6, the DOC removal efficiencies of LMW(<1 K) and M.HMW(1~30 K) in coagulation process were 27~35%, 62~72%, respectively. The fraction smaller than 1 K was not eliminated to a noticeable degree, while the fraction of 1~30 K was relatively well removed. In conclustion, mixing coagulants were fairly effective in the removal of natural organic matter.r.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater treatment containing surfactant. For that, comparative analysis of effectiveness of Featon Oxidation, Aluminum Sulfate, PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride) on the treatment of the synthetic wastewater containing LAS (Linear Alkyl Sulfate), a main component of the commercial detergent was carried. Then, the optimum pH, the dosage of reagents, and the concentration of the LAS in each treatment were determined. The results of the study were summarized as following. 1. In Fenton Oxidation, optimal pH was 3 and 97.92% removal of LAS was achieved. However, the increase of the pH reduced the efficiency of LAS removal. The proper chemical dosages of FeSO$_4$ and $H_2O_2$ were 300 mg/l and the increase of dosages didn't affected the removal efficiency. Therefore, it was concluded that the economic chemical dosage was 300 mg/l of FeSO$_4$ and $H_2O_2$. 2. In case of Alum treatment, optimal pH was 11 with 61.13% removal efficiency. At other pH range, the removal efficiency was very low indicating that removal efficiency is greatly influenced by pH. The proper chemical dosage was 200 mg/l with the removal efficiency of 77.65%. The increase of chemical dosage, however, reduced the removal efficiency. 3. In case of using PAC, optimal pH was 6 with 97.99% removal efficiency. The result showed that wastewaters containing surfactant were almost completely removed at pH 6 by PAC. Removal efficiency was decreased by increasing PAC dosage higher than 400 mg/l and dosage over 700 mg/l of PAC abolished the treatment. 4. The comparative analysis of three methods revealed that the effective pH ranges were at pH 2-5 with Fenton oxidation, at pH 6-11 with PAC, and pH 11 with Alum. The removal efficiencies at these pH were 83.95-97.92%, 75.98-97.99% and 61.13%, respectively. 5. Increase in LAS concentration reduced the removal efficiencies of all three methods. In the case of PAC or Alum treatment, treatment abolished at LAS concentration higher than 700 mg/l.

메탄자화균에 의한 코발트 제거의 최적 pH 영역은 6.0~12.0이었으나 메탄자화균을 넣지 않은 blank는 10.5~11.5이었다. 코발트의 제거능은 pH에 크게 의존하였으나 blank보다는 민감하지 않았다. 초기 pH 6.0에서 1.0 g/L의 메탄자화균을 투입했을 때 170 mg Co/g biomass가 제거되었다. SEM 분석 결과에 의하면 코발트는 메탄자확균의 표면이나 세포의 분비 고분자에 흡착되어 제거된 것으로 사료된다. 초기 pH 6.0, 400 mg Co/L에서 메탄자화균의 최적의 투입량은 1.0 g/L이었다. 2.0 M NaCl과 $NaNO_3$의 높은 이온강도 하에서도 코발트 제거능은 그다지 영향을 받지 않았다.

Rhodamine B (RhB)의 제거를 위해 철 전극을 이용한 전기응집 (EC) 공정의 성능에 대해 연구하였다. RhB 제거 효율에 대한 전극 물질 (알루미늄, 철), 전류밀도, NaCl 첨가량, 초기 pH 및 초기 염료 농도와 같은 운전인자의 영향을 연구하였다. 이들 운전 인자에 대한 최적 운전 범위는 실험을 통하여 결정되었다. 희생 전극 물질로서 철 전극의 성능이 알루미늄 전극보다 우수하였다. 최적 전기분해 시간, 전류밀도, NaCl 첨가량 및 pH는 각각 10 분, 1630 A/$m^2$, 4 g/L 및 중성의 pH 이었다. 최적의 공정 조건하에서 RhB 농도가 230 mg/L인 조건에서 RhB는 효과적으로 제거되었고 (> 93.4%), RhB의 COD도 역시 감소하였다(> 88.9%). RhB의 색도와 COD 제거에 대한 상기 조건에서의 전기 에너지 소비량은 각각 10.3 and 10.8 kWh/kg RhB으로 나타났다. 전기응집 공정은 RhB와 같은 염색폐수 처리에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

The chemical and photochemical decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) in water has been carried out by Fenton, Fenton-like and photo-Fenton-like process. The effect of applied $H_2O_2,\;Fe^{2+}$ dosage (Fenton process), $H_2O_2,\;Fe^{\circ}$ dosage (Fenton-like and photo-Fenton-like process), UV light power (photo-Fenton-like process) pH (all processes) have been studied. The results obtained showed that more than 98% of color removal was obtained for the RhB solutions in every process. However, Fenton-like process was not suitable for the color removal of RhB because Fenton-like process was required much more reagents than Fenton and photo-Fenton-like process. The Fenton and photo-Fenton-like process showed similar reagents need. Optimum pH for three processes in this study is about pH 3. The relative order of sensitivity for pH of each process was: Fenton-like > photo-Fenton-like > Fenton.
