토양오염 정화방법의 하나인 토양증기추출법 (soil vapor extraction, SVE) 은 오염된 토양에 진공 또는 가압의 공기를 공급하여 연속적인 공기 흐름을 유도함으로써 토양의 기공에 잔류하는 유해화합물의 증발을 촉진하여 오염물질을 제거하는 공정이다. 본 연구에서는 토양증기추출법의 효율에 영향을 주는 인자들 가운데에서 토양의 수분함량과 오염물질의 종류가 오염물질의 제거효율에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험연구를 수행하였다. 인공토양으로 미세기공이 없는 glass bead, sand, 그리고 미세기공이 많고 흡착능이 강한 molecular sieve가 사용되었으며, 오염물질로는 톨루엔, 메틸에틸케톤, 트리클로로에틸렌이 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 오염물질의 탈착실험을 180분 이내로 수행하였으며, 이 범위 내에서는 인공토양으로부터의 유기화합물 탈착 현상에서 제거효율과 기공부피수, 각각에 로그를 취하였을 때 선형적 특성이 나타났다. 여기에서 기공부피수란 반응기를 통과한 공기의 부피를 기공부피로 나눈 것이다. 세 가지 유기화합물 모두 수분함량이 0%일 때 가장 낮은 제거속도를 보였으며 일정량의 수분이 포함됨으로써 유기화합물 제거에 필요한 기공부피수가 현저히 줄어듦을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 트리클로로에틸렌과 같이 밀도가 큰 유기화합물의 제거를 위해서는 많은 양의 기공부피수가 소요되며 따라서 작업시간이 매우 길어지게 되므로, 토양증기추출법 외에 다른 정화방법을 함께 사용하여야 한다. 또한 인공토양의 특성에 따른 유기화합물의 탈착현상에 대하여 조사하였으며, 미세기공의 유무가 오염물질의 탈착속도에 미치는 영향이 톨루엔과 메틸에틸케톤에서 상이하게 나타났음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 정화대상지역의 토양특성, 오염물질 등에 대한 조사를 시행한 후 SVE를 이용한 적절한 정화방법을 설계하는데 기초자료로 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

Post-synthesis is used to synthesize organic hybrid inorganic mesoporous sieves. In this method, the activity and structure of the base sieve are crucial to obtain the definable hybrid materials. The chemical and physical properties of the base can be largely changed either by the final step of its synthesizing processes, by template removal which is accomplished with the oxidative thermal decomposition (burning) method or by solvent extraction method. In this paper we compared two methods for the post-synthesis of organic hybrid MCM-48. When the template was extracted with HCl/alcohol mixture, the final product showed larger pore size, larger pore volume and better crystallinity compared to the case of the thermal decomposition. The reactivity of the surface silanol group of template free MCM-48 was also checked with an alkylsilylation reagent $CH_2=CHSi(OC_2H_5)_3$. Raman and $^{29}Si$ NMR spectra of MCM-48 in the test reaction indicated that more of the organic group was grafted to the surface of the sample after the template was removed with the solvent extraction method. Direct synthesis of vinyl-MCM-48 was also investigated and its characteristics were compared with the case of post-synthesis. From the results, it was suggested that the structure and chemical reactivity can be maintained in the solvent extraction method and that organic grafting after the solvent extraction can be a good candidate to synthesize a definable hybrid porous material.

Electrodialysis has been applied for treatment of industrial wastewater including metal electroplating. The wastewater from metal plating industries contains high concentrations of inorganics such as copper, nickel, and sodium. The ions in the feed were separated due to the electrical forces in the electrodialysis. The concentrate compartment is exposed to the elevated concentrations of the ions and yielded inorganic precipitations on the cation exchange membranes. The presence of organic matter in the metal plating wastewater affects complex interfacial reactions, which determines characteristics of inorganic scale fouling. The wastewater from a metal plating industry in practice was collected and the inorganic and organic compositions of the wastewater were analyzed. The performance of electrodialysis of the raw wastewater was evaluated and the effects of adjusting pH of the raw water were also measured. The integrated processes with neutralization and electrodialysis showed great removal of heavy metals sufficient to discharge to aquatic ecosystem. The organic matter in the raw water was also reduced by the neutralization, which might enhance removal performance and alleviate organic fouling in the integrated system.

The applicability of oil palm EFB(Empty Fiber Bunch) to the papermaking process as a functional organic filler was investigated in this study. Since the EFB has similar chemical composition to the lignocellulose materials such as wood fiber, the fines of EFB was applied to the handsheet paper as an alternative to wood powder which were used as an organic filler to improve water removal efficiency and bulk. The experiments showed that the EFB fines resulted in the higher water removal efficiency at the wet pressing process and leaded to the higher bulk than those of wood powder. In case of 10 % addition of organic filler, the strength properties were not significantly changed. Those results suggested that the EFB could be used as a new organic filler for improving water removal efficiency and bulk property.

Biological nutrient removal(BNR) from wastewater was performed by adopting various process configurations. The simultaneous biological organics, phosphorus and nitrogen removal of synthetic wastewater was investigated in a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR). The other reactor was operating as a reference, without biofilm being added. The cycling time in SBR and SBBR was adjusted at 12 hours and then certainly included anaerobic and aerobic conditions. Both systems has been operated with a stable total organic carbon(TOC), nitrogen and phosphorus removal performance for over 90 days. Average removal efficiencies of TOC and total nitrogen were 83% and 95%, respectively. The nitrification rate in SBR was higher than that in SBBR. On the contrary, the denitrification rate in SBBR was higher than that in SBR. The phosphorus release was occurred in SBBR, however, not in SBR because of the inhibition effect of NO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ .

The problem for the removal of phosphorus increased due to reasons like eutrophication control. However its removal and operating criteria were not well developed. This study was made for enhanced removal of P by iron contactor by intermittent aeration activated sludge process. Experiment was conducted to find the effects of organic substance load and HRT, nutrient removal efficiency. When applied organic substance load and HRT, II &III reactor were good treatment efficient while come from Fe of iron contactor. Release of phophorus from II &III reactor sludge under anaerobic condition was low. As the process developed, the content of released ionized Fe from iron contactor increased. In addition, the rate of phosphorus removal became accelerating, and the removed sludge was stabilized in the existence of insoluble status.

This study was performed to assess the removal efficiency on nitrogen, phosphorus and organic carbon in wastewater by spatial separation and internal recycling in a modified oxidation ditch process (modified OD). The performances of the modified OD were evaluated via laboratory-scale experiments. The process was operated at hydraulic retention times of 6-48 hours and solid retention times of 17-38 days. We found that organic carbon removal efficiency increased after the modified OD operation period. T-N removal efficiency remained stable; average T-N concentration of effluent was 8.02 mg/l after modified OD operation. In contrast, T-P concentration of effluent was over 1 mg/l. Nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency of modified OD at HRT 12 hr were 83.1% and 74.1%, respectively. Also, maximum efficiency was found at SRTs from 20 to 30 days. T-N removal efficiency was 83.1% at a C/N ratio from 3.0 to 3.5. However, T-N removal efficiency decreased at C/N ratios over 3.5. Also, T-P removal efficiency increased with HRT at C/P ratios in the same condition. Maximum efficiency was 74.1% at a C/P ratio from 25 to 28. T-N removal efficiency was 79.2% and T-P removal efficiency was 65.3% after M4 mode operation (added to the internal recycle line connected to the anoxic reactor). The modified OD with spatial separation and internal recycling developed in this study is, therefore, believed to be an improvement for solving problems in the nutrient removal technologies.
