This study discussed the appropriateness of organic matter indexes such as biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) and chemical oxygen demand with potassium permanganate($COD_{Mn}$) in water quality environmental standard of streams and lakes and the applicability of the items to water quality environmental standard to add or substitute COD with potassium dichromate ($COD_{Cr}$) and total organic carbon(TOC) being used as index of organic matter. And indexes of organic matter content and organic carbon concentration were distinguished between dissolved and particulate component in water sample to estimate their effect on pollutants loading in lake and stream. The ratio of $COD_{Cr}$/BOD was 5.1 under BOD concentration 3mg/L in river water quality environmental standard II, and 2.67 above it. This ratio was diminished to 2.04 when BOD concentration was more than 8mg/L, in river quality environmental standard IV. Also the ratio of $COD_{Mn}$/BOD showed 2.16 under 3mg/L(BOD), and 1.1 above it. This ratio is also diminished to 0.84 over 8mg/L(BOD). Accordingly, we should apply this ratio depending on the concentration level to add and change organic matter index of water quality environmental standard newly. The ratio $COD_{Cr}/COD_{Mn}$ both in lake and stream shows 2.37(r=0.986, p<0.001). But the ratios showed range of 2.34~2.50, which is no much difference of this ratio according to $COD_{Mn}$ concentration.

본 연구는 영산강하구역 입자물질 유입원의 시 공간적인 변화를 추정해 보고자 몽탄대교에서 영산강 하구둑에 이르는 영산강하구역 세 정점에서 연 6회에 걸쳐 수 층 부유 물질의 탄소 및 질소 안정동위원소 비를 비교하였다. 모든 정점에서 8월에 강우를 통한 외부기원 유기물의 유입이 증가하였으며, 이 때 암모니아성 질소 및 규산염의 유입 역시 함께 증가하였다. 탄소 안정동위원소 비 측정 결과 11월과 8월에 정점 별 유기물의 기원이 크게 차이 났으며, 안정동위원소 비 값을 이용하여 주요 유입원 추정이 가능하였다. 11월에 모든 정점에서 질소 안정동위원소 비가 무거운 값을 보였고, 인산염의 농도가 가장 높게 나타났는데 이는 축산폐수 및 농경지를 통한 유입이 영향을 준 것으로 판단된다. 또한 다른 정점에 비해 영산강 하구둑에서 모든 조사 기간 동안 비교적 높은 질소 안정동위원소 비를 보였으며, 이를 통해 축산폐수 및 농경지를 통한 유기물 유입이 다른 정점에 비해 높을 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 안정동위원소 비 분석은 입자성유기물의 기원을 추정하는데 유용한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Nanofiltration (NF) experiments were conducted to investigate fouling of Al-hydroxide precipitate and the influence of organic compound, inorganic compound, and their combination, i.e., multiple foulants. $CaCl_2$ and $MgSO_4$ were employed as surrogates of inorganic compounds while humic acid was used as surrogate of organic compound. The flux attained from NF experiments was fitted with the mathematical fouling model to evaluate the potential fouling mechanisms. Al-hydroxide fouling with a cake formation mechanism had little effect on the NF membrane fouling regardless of the Al concentration. The NF fouling by Al-hydroxide precipitate was deteriorated in presence of inorganic matter. The effect of Mg was more critical in increasing the fouling than Ca. This is because the Mg ions enhanced the resistances of the cake layer accumulated by the Al-hydroxide precipitate on the membrane surfaces. However, the fouling with Mg was dramatically mitigated by adding humic acid. It is interesting to observe that the removal of the conductivity was enhanced to 61.2% in presence of Mg and humic acid from 30.9% with Al-hydroxide alone. The influence of dissolved matter (i.e., colloids) was more negative than particulate matter on the NF fouling for Al-hydroxide precipitate in presence of inorganic and organic matter.

This study is aimed at substantially reducing the particulate matter (dust) emission during the combustion of heavy fuel in boilers by addition of combustion improver. The combustion improver used were the oil-soluble organometallic compounds that were found to be more effective than the dispersing agents that are generally used for reducing the particulate emission. The dust reduction effect was found to depend on the active materials (metals) as well as on the organic ligand part of organometallic compounds. Acetylacetonoate and naphthenate of Fe and Ca were found to be most effective for dust reduction. Addition of Fe and Ca organometallic compounds as combustion improver in concentration of 30 ppm (metal basis) to heavy fuel oil, caused dust reduction by 50 wt% to 80 wt%.

The analysis of stable carbon isotope ratios for benthic fauna was applied to identify the source of carbon in benthic food webs in Youngil Bay, Korea. The ${\delta}^{13}$C values of 9 invertebrate species collected in this area showed a narrow range between -20.5 and -16.3%$_o$ with a mean of-18.1 (${\pm}$1.1)"%$_o$. The results suggest that the major source of organic carbon for the benthic fauna of the lower estuarine reaches and the oceanic sites is autochthonous marine particulate organic matter. The contribution of organic matter from terrestrial and riverine sources to the diet of the benthic fauna in this area appears to be minor, despite the considerable inflow of riverine waters.

The lab-scale BNR processes fed with Municipal Wastewater Before or After Primary Clarifier (MWBPC or MWAPC) were operated to observe the behavior of particle organic matter in terms of nitrification and denitrification efficiency. As a result of the fractionation of the COD from MWBPC or MWAPC using an aerobic respirometric serum bottle reactor, the total mass of biodegradable organic matter from MWBPC is about 52% greater than the mass from MWAPC. Batch reactors were operated to observe the effect of the Particulate Organic Matter (POM) on substrate utilization for denitrification. Although the consumption of POM for denitrification was observed, the increment of the Specific Denitrification Rate (SDNR) was not great. In terms of the effect of POM on nitrification at different HRTs, activate sludge reactors were operated to determine the optimal HRT when MWBPC and MWAPC were fed relatively. All reactors showed a great organic matter removal efficiency. Reactors fed with MWAPC had obtained the nitrification efficiency above 90% when the HRT of 4 hr, at least, was maintained, while reactors fed with MWBPC had same efficiency when the HRT longer than 5 hr was kept. Three parallel $A^2/O$ systems fed with MWBPC or MWAPC relatively were operated to investigate the effects of POM on BNR processes with varying the HRT of an anoxic reactor. For all systems, the efficiency of organic matter removal and denitrification, respectively, was great and about the same. In case of denitrification efficiency, system with MWAPC had 1.5% lower than system with MWBPC at the same HRT of anoxic reactor of 2 hr, and the increasing the HRT of the anoxic reactor by 1 hr in systems fed with MWBPC resulted in a 3.5% increment. The denitrification rate was similar while the consumption of organic matter in systems fed with MWBPC was higher than system fed with MWBPC. It suggests that POM in MWBPC was not be used significantly as a substrate for denitrification in system with the HRT of 3 hr of an anoxic reactor.

반폐쇄성 내만인 진해만의 입자유기물 (POM)함량과 C:N:P비의 변화를 1993년 1월 부터 12월 까지 1년간 조사하였다. 입자유기탄소와 질소 및 입자 인의 농도는 각각 198∼4,416 ugC/l과 24∼792 ugN/l 및 4.50∼69.00 ugP/l범위였고 특히 입자유기탄소 와 질소농도는 여름철에 가장 놓고 그 외 계절에는 유사한 농도분포를 보이면 uni-modal한 계절변동이 나타났다. 입자물질의 C:N:P 원자비 역시 여름철에 가장 높았 다. C:N 원소비는 년중 6.53 Redfield ratio와 거의 일치하며 겨울철(1, 2월)을 제외 한 조사기간중 표층수중의 POM 농도와 chlorophyll-a 사이에 높은 상관관계가 나타난 다. 이와 같은 결과들은 조사해역의 입자유기물농도가 식물플랑크톤 생물량에 의해 조 절된다는 것을 보여주고 특히 많은 육수유입과 함께 강한 성층이 형성되는 여름철의 높은 POM농도는 육상으로부터 다량의 영양염 공급에 의한 식물플랑크톤의 대증식에 기 인하는 것으로 보인다. 한편 여름철의 높은 POC:PP 와 PON:PP ratio는 인산염에 비하 여 과다한 질소계 영양염을 함유한 육수유입의 영향으로 인산염이 제한요인으로 작용 한다는 것을 시사한다.

To evaluate the impact of effluents from land-based fish farms on the coastal ocean of Wando, Korea, we analyzed inorganic nutrients, particulate organic carbon (POC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the effluent and influent of land-based fish farms during the summer (July) of 2021. The average concentrations of nutrients (Dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate; DIN, DIP, and DSi, respectively) in the effluents of this study area were 17±3.7 μM, 1.4±0.7 μM, and 14±1.6 μM, respectively. The average concentrations of POC and DOC were 37±22 μM and 81±13 μM, respectively, with POC accounting for about 30% for total organic carbon in effluents. The Reduced Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen/Total Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen ratio (0.7), potential short-period index, indicates that the discharge of nutrients excreted by the fish and unconsumed feed into coastal water results in such nutrients being deposited and accumulated in the sediment. Subsequently, this continuous accumulation triggers the release of ammonium ions during organic matter decomposition, and the ammonium-enriched waters that encroach on fish farms as influent seem to be due to the diffusion of high concentrations of ammonium from bottom sediment. Furthermore, we used fluorescence indices to examine the characteristics of organic matter sources, obtaining mean values of 1.54±0.19, 1.06±0.06, and 1.56±0.06 for the humification index, biological index, and fluorescence index, respectively, in the effluent. These results indicate that the organic matters had an autochthonous origin that resulted from microbial decomposition, and such organic matters were rapidly generated and removed by biological activity, likely supplied from the sediment. Our results suggest that the effluent from land-based fish farms could be a potential source of deoxygenation occurrence in coastal areas.

본 연구에서는 어류 양식장 퇴적 유기물의 기원 및 기여도 평가를 위해 어류(숭어) 가두리 양식장이 이동된 후 수층 및 퇴적물 내 물리/화학적 인자들의 변화와 함께 안정 동위원소 비의 특성을 조사했다. 이를 토대로 과거 양식장 퇴적물 내 축적된 유기물의 거동을 구체적으로 파악함으로써 효과적인 어장환경평가 기법을 검토하였다. 연구정점(OFF 및 control)에서 입자성 및 침강물질은 정점 간 차이보다는 계절적 강수량 변동에 따라 차별적 분포를 보였다. 하지만 퇴적물 내 분석된 δ¹⁵N 결과는 수층 기원 질소원과는 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 과거 외부기원의 유기물 (예: 어류 배설물)의 다량 유입이 주된 요인이라 판단된다. 실제로 과거 어류 가두리 양식활동으로 인해 OFF 정점 내 어류 배설물의 우점적 기여(>50%)를 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구정점 내 분해되지 않은 어장 양식기인 유기물의 농도가 높은 수준으로 존재할 것이라 판단되며, 어장 회복력의 체계적인 진단을 위한 중요한 고려요인이라 판단된다.
