This study applied microbubbles to reduce membrane fouling in wastewater reuse membrane processes, evaluated and compared the transmembrane pressure with or without the application of microbubbles and the cleaning efficiency with the application of aeration and microbubbles. In addition, this study analyzed foulants removed from the membrane surface. Changes in the transmembrane pressure of membranes with the presence or absence of microbubbles were observed. As a result, transmembrane pressure (TMP) increasing rate decreased twofold when applying microbubbles to realize stable operations. This study compared and evaluated cleaning efficiency applying aeration and microbubbles. As a result, the cleaning efficiency was 5% higher on average when applying microbubbles. In turbidity and total organic carbon (TOC), foulants were discharged when applying microbubbles twice as much as applying aeration. It is thought that particulate foulants precipitated on the membrane surface were more likely to desorb because the adhesion between the membrane surface and particle was weakened by microbubbles. Therefore, it is considered possible to effectively control membrane fouling because of the increase in cleaning efficiency when applying microbubbles to wastewater reuse membrane processes.

This study was performed to investigate the reaction characteristics of piggery wastewater for biological nutrient removal. The reaction characteristics were discussed the fraction of organics, the behavior of nitrogen, nitrification, denitrification, and the behavior of phosphorus. The fraction of readily biodegradable soluble COD was 11-12 percent. The ammonia nitrogen was removed via stripping, nitrification, autotrophic cell synthesis, and heterotrophic cell synthesis. The removal percents by each step were 12.1%, 68.9%, 15.0%, and 4.0%, respectively. Nitrification inhibition of piggery wastewater was found to occur at an influent volumetric loading rate over 0.2 NH$_{3}$-N kg/m$^{3}$/d. Denitrification rates were the highest in the raw wastewater and the lowest in the anaerobic effluent. The denitritation of piggery wastewater came out to be possible, and the rate of organic carbon consumption decreased about 10 percent. The phosphorus removed was released in the form of ortho-p in the aerobic fixed biofilm reactor, it was caused by autooxidation. The synthesis and release of phosphorus were related to the ORP and the boundary value for the phase change was about 170mV. In the synthesis phase, the phosphorus removal rate per COD removed was 0.023mgP$_{syn}$/mgCOD$_{rem}$. The phosphorus contents of the microorganism were 4.3-6.0% on a dry weight basis.

The objectives of this study were to find out the optimum treatment conditions for removing nitrogen in a synthetic wastewater by using microorganisms immobilized with PVA-Freezing method. The samples used as influents to the laboratory scale treatment units were a synthetic wastewater. The experiments in this study were mainly directed to collect the data of nitrogen and organic matter removal efficiencies for the different hydraulic and internal recycle rates conditions, temperature and influent C/N ratios. The removal efficiencies of nitrogen and organic matters were investigated for the operating conditions of HRT 2~12hours, internal recycle rates 50~400%, temperatures $15{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and C/N ratios 2.5~7.5. The adequate internal recycle rate for removing T-N and $BOD_5$ in the synthetic wastewater was found to be about 300% at the temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ when the ratio of carbon contents to the nitrogen (C/N) in the influent was around 5.5. Under these conditions, the final effluent concentrations of T-N and $BOD_5$ were 8.7 and 8.4 mg/l, respectively.

Carboxylated alginic acid bead를 이용한 중금속 제거에 관한 염색폐수의 영향에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. Carboxylated alginic acid bead를 담체로 사용하였을 때 때 납과 구리이온의 흡착에 미치는 염색폐수의 영향은 매우 작았다. 또한, 납 이온이 염색폐수와 같이 섞여 있을 때 흡착공정은 거의 2-3 시간 내에 이루어졌으며 50ppm의 납 이온은 0.3g의 담체만으로 대부분 제거 되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 Carboxylated alginic acid bead가 염색폐수 내에 존재하는 중금속 이온의 제거에 대해서 효과적인 흡착제임을 의미한다.

This study was performed to examine the factors influenced on the decomposition of nondegradable organic pollutants( Tricholoroethylene,Benzene ) in aqueous by ultrasonic irradiation. The TCE( Tricholoroethylene ) and Benzene are major hazard compounds causing environmental Pollution and not decomposable substances by conventional treatment. The results shows that the oxidation and reduction reaction of ultrasonic Irradiation was formed the H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ , H$^{+}$ and OH$^{-}$ radical, and then theses was decomposed pollutants of TCE and Benzene in aqueous. We were conformed that the ultrasonic irradiation was excellent in removal efficiency of the nondegradable organic substances any other than processes and utilized the treatment of organic compounds in the industrial wastewater. Conclusively, these results suggest that ultrasonic irradiation may be extremely useful for the treatment of wastewater contaminated organic pollutants, which is difficult to treat economically by conventional treatment.

This research aims to find granulation and organic removal of the piggery wastewater with the upflow blanket filter(UBF) reactor. UASB process had the effect of high pH on the granulation phase. But teh effect was decreased after the granule formation. The filter zone of the UBF reactor had the function of GSS and contributed to removing the organic because of its biofilm formation. The removal rates of total COD and soluble COD were 70% ~ 80% and 60 ~ 80% at an influent organic loading range of $2{\sim}17.4kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}d$, respectively. The methane production rate with the organic removal was $0.21{\sim}0.34{\ell}CH_4/gCOD_{rem}$ and the maximum methan production rate was $0.34CH_4{\ell}/gCOD_{rem}$ at the volumetric loading $5kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}d$.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of foulant characteristics on Membrane fouling index such as Silt Density Index (SDI) and Modified Fouling Index (MFI). A linear relationship was found relating the fouling index (both SDI and MFI) on particle concentration, but fouling index values were nonlinearly (exponentially) with increasing organic concentration. When organic matter was the primary cause of fouling, the MFI was not accurately predicted due to internal fouling such as pore adsorption. The fouling index was determined mainly by particle characteristics when both particle and organic coexisted in the feed water. This observation was attributed to lessening of organic pore adsorption by particle cake layer formed on the membrane surface. Bench-scale actual fouling experiments demonstrated that permeate flux declines much faster with feed water containing particles than organic matters although fouling potential predicted by SDI values were identical, indicating that the accurate prediction of fouling potential requires the development of fouling index reflecting different foulant characteristics.

Organic matters that comprise a tiny part of seawater generally occur over 50% of membrane fouling in Reverse Osmosis Process. This study evaluates Foundation efficiency of reverse osmosis membranes under brackish and seawater conditions and resistance of organic fouling. Moreover, analyzing the membrane surface through roughness, contact angle and zeta potential results in roughness and contact angle are proportional to flux decline rate (FDR), yet FDR has high value when zeta potential is low level. Furthermore, with various membrane fouling of different raw water conditions, the flux tends to improve when pH value is high and raw water which is complex with organic and cation pollutes membrane faster than organic separated raw water condition.

유기물 측정지표인 화학적산소요구량(COD)은 산화율이 낮아 난분해성 유기물까지 포함한 전체 유기물질의 총량관리에 한계를 가지고 있어 보다 정확한 측정이 가능한 총유기탄소(TOC)가 측정지표로 도입되어 사용되고 있다. 폐수 내 TOC 저감을 위해서는 여러 공정들이 적용가능하나 경기도 소재의 A사를 비롯한 여러 환경업체에서는 원폐수를 먼저 희석한 후 약품처리에 의한 응집침전과정을 거치고 후단에 활성탄을 사용하여 총유기탄소를 처리하고 있는 실정이다. 현장에서는 많은 물 사용과 약품사용으로 인한 슬러지가 과다하게 발생하는 문제가 있어 이를 대체할 수 있는 방안도출이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 A사 실폐수의 TOC 저감효율 증진을 위해 두 가지 다른 방법을 적용하였다. 첫 번째 방법은 셀룰로오스 기반 유사-그래핀(CGLC)을 제조하여 현재 사용되고 있는 흡착제인 분말활성탄(PAC)의 대체가능성 평가에 관한 것이다. 첫 번째 연구를 통해서는 CGLC가 상업용 PAC보다 TOC 제거율에서 약 10% 정도의 높은 성능을 보여 수처리 현장에서 PAC의 대체 흡착제로 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. 두 번째 방법은 persulfate(PS) 활성화에 의해 생성되는 황산라디칼에 의한 TOC 제거에 관한 것이다. PS 활성화를 위해 CGLC와 PAC을 사용하는 것과 폐수의 높은 온도를 이용하는 두 가지 방법을 적용하였다. PAC과 CGLC를 PS 활성화물질로 사용한 결과, TOC 제거율은 실폐수내 존재하는 과량의 염소이온에 의해 CGLC와 PAC에 의한 TOC의 흡착제거량 보다 낮게 나타났다. 그렇지만 PS 활성화를 위해 현장 폐수의 높은 수온(55~60℃)을 이용한 결과 PAC 단독, CGLC 단독 그리고 PS 활성화에 탄소계 매질을 사용한 것보다 훨씬 큰 TOC 제거능을 보였으며, PS를 0.5% 이상 주입시 24 시간 이내에 95% 이상의 TOC 제거능을 보였다. 또한 PS를 0.3% 이상 주입시 A사의 폐수 배출기준인 75 ppm 이하로 TOC 농도를 낮출 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 종합하면, 높은 온도의 원폐수에 PS만 첨가하는 간편한 공정으로도 TOC를 A사의 폐수 방류기준 이하로 처리하여 배출할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구실에서 개발한 3단계 메탄발효시스템을 이용하여 음식폐기물을 소화하고 배출되는 고농도 유기성 폐수를 미생물막 반응조와 조류, 물벼룩을 이용한 생택학적 수처리 시스템으로 처리하였다. 미생물막 반응조에서 유출되는 폐수에 두 종의 조류를 처리하였을 때 Chlorella sp. 보다 Selenastrum capricornutum이 더 잘 성장하였고, 질소제거 효과도 높았다. 고농도의 $Mg^{2+}$과 $Ca^{2+}$을 주입하고 유출수의 질소와 인 농도 비율을 10 : 1이 되도록 인위적으로 인농도를 조절하였을 때에는 더욱 높은 질소 제거와 조류 성장을 나타내었다. 시험관에서 조류와 물벼룩 두 종의 개체 수 변화를 관찰했을 때, 초기 조류 개체수는 물벼룩 개체수의 증가에 따라 감소하다가 물벼룩의 개체수가 최대치에 이른 후 환경저항에 의해 감소하기 시작하는 시점부터 점차적으로 증가하는 양상을 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 생태학적 수처리 시스템은 유기성 폐수내 질소 및 인 처리에 매우 효율적이며, 시스템내의 최종 섭식자인 물벼룩을 대량 사육함으로써 이를 어류의 사료로 쓸수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
