For the biological treatment of phenolic resin wastewater containing phenol and formaldehyde, a phenol-degrading yeast was isolated from the papermill sludge, and then identified as Candida tropicalis PW-51 according to morphological, physiological and biochemical properties. The strain was able to degrade high phenol concentrations up to 2,000mg/l within 58 hours in batch cultures. Phenol-degrading efficiency by the strain was maximum at the culture conditions of a final concentration of 9 $\times$ 10$^{6}$ cells/ml, 30$\circ$C and pH 7.0. The mean degradation rate of phenol was highest at 45.5mg/l/h in 1,000mg/l phenol from 500mg/l to 2,000mg/l phenol. Because the enzyme activity of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase increased in the course of degradation of phenol, it seems that this strain degrades phenol via the ortho-cleavage of benzene ring. The isolate C. tropicalis PW-51 could be effectively used for the biological treatment of phenolic resin wastewater.

Cold environments, including polar and alpine regions, are colonized by a wide diversity of micro-organisms able to thrive at low temperatures. There is evidence of a wide range of metabolic activities in alpine cold ecosystems. Like polar microorganisms, alpine microorganisms playa key ecological role in their natural habitats for nutrient cycling, litter degradation, and many other processes. A number of studies have demonstrated the capacity of alpine microorganisms to degrade efficiently a wide range of hydrocarbons, including phenol, phenol-related compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons, and the feasibility of low-temperature bioremediation of European alpine soils by stimulating the degradation capacity of indigenous microorganisms has also been shown.

펄스 코로나 방전에서 인가전압, 용액 전도도, 전극 재질, 철염 주입 등의 운전변수가 페놀 분해에 미치는 영향에 관해 실험실 규모의 실험을 수행하였다. 인가전압이 증가할수록 높은 에너지를 가진 전자들에 의한 물 분자의 충돌분해 반응에 의한 OH 라디칼 생성량이 증가하므로 페놀 분해 속도를 증가시키며 실험된 조건에서의 용액 전도도 증가는 용액을 통한 전기장 강도를 감소시켜 페놀 분해 속도를 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 방전 반응기로 주입된 철염($FeSO_4$)은 방전에 의해 생성된 과산화수소와 펜톤 유사 반응을 통해 OH 라디칼을 생성시켜 페놀 분해를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 펄스 코로나 방전에 의한 페놀 분해의 중간 생성물질로 catechol과 hydroquinone이 검출되었으며 분석을 수행하지는 않았으나 유기산의 생성으로 인해 pH가 감소되고 전도도가 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다. 철염이 주입된 조건에서 백금 전극은 3가 철이온($Fe^{3+}$)을 2가 철이온($Fe^{2+}$)으로 환원시킴으로써 페놀 분해 속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 산제일철($FeSO_4$) 0.5 mM이 주입된 조건에서 약 230 kJ의 방전 에너지가 유입될 때 거의 모든 페놀이 분해되었으며 약 29%의 총유기탄소(TOC) 제거효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized through a facile route and were used as ozonation catalysts. With the increase of calcination temperature ($150-300^{\circ}C$), surface hydroxyl groups and catalytic efficiency of asobtained ZnO decreased remarkably, and the ZnO obtained at $150^{\circ}C$ showed the best catalytic activity. Compared with ozonation alone, the degradation efficiency of phenol increased above 50% due to the catalysis of ZnO-150. In the reaction temperatures range from $5^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$, ZnO nanocatalyst revealed remarkable catalytic properties, and the catalytic effect of ZnO was better at lower temperature. Through the effect of tertbutanol on degradation of phenol and the catalytic properties of ZnO on degradation of nitrobenzene, it was proposed that the degradation of phenol was ascribed to the direct oxidation by ozone molecules based on solidliquid interface reaction.

본 연구는 페놀 분해균주인 P-99를 이용하여 슬러리상 반응기에서 페놀 또는 PNP (p-Nitrophenol)에 오염된 토양을 생물학적으로 복원시키는 방안을 모색하기 위해 수행되었다. 순수미생물에 의한 페놀의 분해는 혼합 미생물간의 경쟁적 상호작용을 배제시켜 활성슬러지의 지체시간보다 3배 정도 짧게 나타났다. 페놀 분해균주인 P-99는 300mg/L의 페놀을 26시간 안에 완전하게 분해하였으며, 페놀 1mg이 제거될 때 0.1457mg의 P-99 미생물이 생성되었다. PNP는 단일기질로 반응기내에 존재할 경우 페놀 분해균주인 P-99에 의한 분해는 일어나지 않았으나, 페놀에 유도된 경우 공대사 작용에 의해 효과적으로 분해할 수 있었으며, 이 때 PNP 분해에 있어서 성자기질인 페놀의 이용도는 0.027mg PNP/mg phenol이었다. 페놀과 PNP가 혼합기질로 반응기내에 존재할 경우 PNP의 농도가 증가할수록 미생물에 대한 저해작용이 증가되어 페놀의 분해속도가 감소하였으며, 슬러리상 반응기에서 미생물에 의한 페놀 및 PNP의 분해는 대상물질의 일부가 액상에서 토양의 표면으로 흡착되고 산소의 전달속도가 상승하여 액상에서 보다 2배 이상 가속화되었다.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia LK-24가 페놀화합물을 분해하는데 관련된 효소들과 페놀의 분해 산물을 분석한 결과 phenol hydrolase, catechol-2.3-dioxygenase, 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde hydroxylase, 및 acetaldehyde dehydrogenase를 확인하였다. 이러한 효소들의 활성으로 보아 페놀은 meta-pathway ring cleavage를 거치면서 분해되는 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 결과는 페놀화합물의 metabolic pathways를 이해하는데 많은 도움이 되며, phenolic-contaminated waste streams에 S. maltophilia LK-24를 사용할 수 있으리라 여겨진다.

A bacterium which is resistant to both mercury and cadmium, and also capable of utilizing phenol as a carbon and energy source, was isolated from the Kumho River sediments near Kangchang Bridge, Taegu, Korea. The isolate was labeled Pseudomonas sp. KM10 and characterized. The bacteria grew in 4 mM $CdCl_2$and in $70{\mu}M$ $HgCl_2$. The bacteria efficiently removed over 90% of 1 g/l phenol within 30 h. In the presence of 1.250 g/l phenol, the growth of the microorganism was slightly retarded and the microorganism could not tolerate 1.5 g/l phenol. Curing of plasmid from the bacteria was carried out to generate a plasmidless strain. Subsequent experiments localized the genes for phenol degradation in plasmid and the genes for mercury resistance and cadmium resistance on the chromosome. Dot hybridization and Southern hybridization under low stringent conditions were performed to identify the DNA homology. These results showed significant homologies between the some sequence of the chromosome of Pseudomonas sp. KM10 and merR of Shigella flexneri R 100, and between the some sequence of the chromosome of Pseudomonas sp. KM10 and cadA of Staphylococcus aureus pI258. The mechanism of cadmium resistance was efflux, similar to that of S. aureus pI258 cadA, and the mechanism of mercury resistance was volatilization, similar to that of S. flexneri R100 mer.

The application of advanced oxidation for the treatment of oil refinery wastewater under UV radiation by using nanoparticles of titanium dioxide was investigated. Synthetic wastewater prepared from phenol crystals; Power Glide SAE40 motor vehicle oil and water was used. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design was employed to design the experimental runs, optimize and study the interaction effects of the operating parameters including catalyst concentration, run time and airflow rate to maximize the degradation of oil (SOG) and phenol. The analysis of variance and the response models developed were used to evaluate the data obtained at a 95% confidence level. The use of the RSM demonstrated the graphical relationship that exists between individual factors and their interactive effects on the response, as compared to the one factor at time approach. The obtained optimum conditions of photocatalytic degradation are the catalyst concentration of 2 g/L, the run time of 30 min and the airflow rate of 1.04 L/min. Under the optimum conditions, a 68% desirability performance was obtained, representing 81% and 66% of SOG and phenol degradability, respectively. Thus, the hydrocarbon oils were readily degradable, while the phenols were more resistant to photocatalytic degradation.

오존-활성탄 복합공정에 의한 페놀제거 특성과 그에 미치는 운전변수의 영향에 관해 회분식 실험을 통하여 동력학적 연구를 수행하였다. 활성탄은 오존의 자가분해를 촉진시켜 $OH{\cdot}$ 발생시키므로 페놀분해 속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 활성탄의 투입량이 증가함에 따라 페놀분해 반응의 유사 일차반응 속도상수가 증가하고 페놀제거의 반감기가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 수용액의 pH 증가는 수산화이온이 개시하는 오존분해의 연쇄반응에 의해 $OH{\cdot}$를 생성시키므로 페놀분해 속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 페놀의 완전산화 지표인 총유기탄소(TOC) 제거효율은 활성탄을 투입할 때 투입하지 않은 조건보다 약 3.2배 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Rhodococcus sp. strain T104, which is able to grow on either biphenyl or limonene, was found to utilize phenol as sole carbon and energy sources. Furthermore, T104 was positively identified to possess three separate pathways for the degradation of limonene, phenol, and biphenyl. The fact that biphenyl and limonene induced almost the same amount of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase activity indicates that limonene can induce both upper and lower pathways for biphenyl degradation by T104.
