혐기-무산소조건으로 구성된 회분식 반응조에서 질산염을 이용하여 인(P)도 동시에 제거될 수 있는 가능성을 알아보기 위해서 인의 제거 양상을 혐기-호기조건의 반응조와 비교하여 조사하였고, 질산염과 인을 동시에 제거하는 미생물분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과 비교적 낮은 농도의 유기물이 적용되었을 때(평균 CODcr=130mg/ι)두 반응조 모두 인이 효과적으로 제거되었으며 반응조내의 최종 인의 농도를 1 mg P/L. 이하로 유지하였다. 특히, 질산염을 전자수용체로 이용한 혐기-무산소조건의 반응조는 기존의 영양소제거 시스템과 비교하여 5-7 mg (P+N)/ι의 영양소를 추가적으로 제거하여 유기물의 효과적 인 이용이 가능한 것으로 판명되었다. 혐기-무산조 조건의 방응조내 미생물 분포를 조사 한 결과 질소원을 제거하는 미생물군(denitrifying bacteria)과 인을 제거하는 미생물군(polyphosphate accumulating bacteria)이 함께 존재하고 있음이 밝혀졌고, 이들 중 $\beta$-proteobacteria에 속하는 Zoogloea ramigera와 Rhodocyclus에 포함되는Alcaligenes defragrans 등은 탈질능력 이 있으면서 anoxic상태에서 인을 동시에 축적할 수 있는 탈질-탈인균주(denitrifying phosphate accumulating organisms; dPAO)로 조사되었다.

Chemical batch tests were conducted to investigate the amount of nutrients that were released from the wasted activated sludge during microwave heating. For this study, three types of activated sludge were obtained from $A_2/O$, MLE and oxidation ditch (OD) processes. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms in the activated sludge have a unique trait: they releases phosphate from the cell when they are exposed to high temperatures. The sludge obtained from the $A_2/O$ process released the largest amount of phosphate, followed by those from the MLE and OD processes. The release of phosphate increased with increasing polyphosphate content in the sludge under strongly alkaline or acidic conditions. Furthermore, ammonia and heavy metals were released with phosphorous. The largest amount of ammonia was observed from the sludge obtained from the MLE process. The release of heavy metals strongly depends on the pH conditions. Therefore, the chemical analysis results strongly suggest that both phosphorus and ammonia react with $Mg^{2+}$ or $Ca^{2+}$ to form metal complexes such as magnesium ammonium phosphate or hydroxyapatite under alkaline conditions.

Phosphorus is a vital resource for sustaining agriculture and nutrition, but a limited non-renewable resource. Thus, the recovery of phosphorus from waste activated sludge(WAS) was attempted by microwave heating and magnesium ammonium phosphorus(MAP) crystallization. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms(PAOs) in WAS release phosphate from the cell when they are exposed to high temperature environments. Microwave heating caused phosphorus and ammonia to release from WAS. The amount was increased with increasing temperature, showing that 88.5% of polyphosphate present in the cells were released in the form of phosphate at $80^{\circ}C$. A similar result was also observed in the release of ammonia. On the other hand, both phosphorus and ammonia were crystallized with magnesium, and then was harvested as MAP. Phosphorus recovery rate reached almost 97.8%, but the ammonia was about 13.4%. These results cleary indicate that phosphorus could be recovered from WAS using a physiological trait of PAOs. Heavy metal analyses also show that the MAP crystal is useful and safe as a phosphorus fertilizer.

The two-stage intermittent aeration activated sludge process (IAP) and dynamic-flow intermittent aeration activated sludge process (DFP) were investigated for the nutrient removal of domestic wastewater. Three sets of IAP and one set of DFP were operated. The fermented settled sludge taken from the primary settling tank was added to two IAP and one DFP as an external electron donor, with one IAP, in which an external carbon source was not added, as a control. All the systems were operated at a sludge retention time of 20 days and a hydraulic retention time of 12 hr. A Higher denitrification rate was observed with the fermented settled sludge for the denitrification compared to the process without the addition of the organic source. The result indicates that the fermented acid from the primary domestic sludge has been proved to be an excellent electron donor for denitrification and biological phosphorus removal with IAP and DFP in treating relatively low C/N ratio(Carbon / Nitrogen ratio) wastewater. Phosphate accumulating organisms have a capability of competing with denitrifiers in the presence of volatile organic acids under anoxic conditions.

생물학적 인 제거공정에서 인 제거 효율에 따른 인제거관련 미생물을 포함하는 슬러지 미생물상의 변화를 분석하기 위하여 2개의 반응조(SBR)에 각기 다른 탄소원(초산나트륨, 포도당)을 주입하여 작동시켰다. 초산나트륨을 주입한 SBR1에서는 반응 100일 후, 유출수에서 $PO_4-P$가 3.92 mg/L 검출되었고(제거효율 60.8%) 이때의 미생물상은 ${\beta}$-subclass proteobacteria(39.67%)와 인제거미생물인 PAO(45.10%)가 우점하는 양상을 보인 반면, 포도당을 주입한 SBR 2에서는 $PO_4-P$가 8.3 mg/L 검출되었으며(제거효율 17%), ${\gamma}$-subclass proteobacteria(23.89%)가 우점하였고 PAO는 21.42%를 차지할 뿐이었다. DGGE결과에서도 ${\beta}$-subclass proteobacteria가 SBR1에서 우점하였다. 그러나 수온이 증가할수록 ${\beta}$-subclass proteobacteria and PAOs의 비율이 감소하였고 GAOs는 증가하였다. 그러므로 생물학적인 인제거공정에서 수온과 영양원의 상태 등 환경인자들이 인제거 미생물과 인제거를 저해하는 미생물의 우점도에 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있다.

무산소 조건에서의 인섭취를 이용한 질소, 인 화합물의 동시 제거 가능성을 연속회분식반응기(SBR)를 사용하여 고찰하였다. 혐기-호기상의 AO SBR 반응기에 점차적으로 무산소상을 도입함으로써 질산염을 전자수용체로 사용하여 탈질이 가능한 인섭취 미생물들(DPAOs)을 다량으로 축적하였다.(혐기-호기-무산소-호기상의 $(AO)_2$ SBR). 무산소상과 호기상에서의 인섭취율을 비교해 보았을 때, 전체 인제거 미생물 내에서 DPAOs의 비율이 약 10%에서 64%까지 증가하였다. $(AO)_2$ SBR은 안정된 질소, 인제거 성능을 보였으며, 유기물질, 질소, 인 화합물의 제거율은 각각 92%, 88%, 100%였다. $(AO)_2$ SBR의 운전결과와 회분식 실험으로 부터 아질산염은 무산소상에서의 인제거 반응에 어떠한 악영향도 미치지 않으며, 오히려 질산염과 함께 전자 수용체로 사용되어짐을 알 수 있었다.

A chemical batch tests were conducted to evaluate if microwave heating enhances phosphorous release from waste activated sludge (WAS) at pH 2.5, 5, 7, 9 and 11. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms have a unique physiological feature, which releases intracellular polyphosphate granules when they are exposed under high temperature environments. Microwave irradiation was found to encourage large amount of phosphorus release from WAS, depending on pH and temperature conditions. Most of phosphorus was released below $59^{\circ}C$ within 30 min. A marked increase in phosphorus release was observed under alkaline or acidic conditions. However, based on control tests for phosphorus release under different pH conditions without microwave heating, the largest amount of phosphorus released by microwave irradiation was found at pH 7, followed by 5, 9, 11. On the other hand, crystallization was conducted to obtain magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) from phosphate released by microwave heating at pH 7. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the recovered crystalline materials were MAP. MAP is an environmentally friendly fertilizer, which slowly releases ammonia and phosphorus in response to the demand of plant root. Thus, the recovered MAP as a phosphate fertilizer is fully expected to play a important role in the reduction of agricultural non-point pollution.

This study was conducted to investigate the ratios of phosphorus release to COD uptake, phosphorus release to nitrate removal, and phosphorus uptake to phosphorus release by DNPAOs(denitrifying phosphate accumulating organisms). In case $I{\sim}IV$, influent 1 were fed with synthetic wastewater with influent 2 $NO_3^--N$ injection to anoxic zone and the case V were fed with municipal wastewater with side stream oxic zone instead of influent 2 $NO_3^--N$ injection. As a result, the ratio of phosphorus release to carbon uptake was increased in accordance with nitrate supply. The DNPAOs simultaneously took up phosphate and removed nitrate from the anoxic reactor. In case $I{\sim}IV$, with above 20 mg/L of sufficient $NO_3^--N$ supply, phosphate was taken up excessively by the DNPAOs in anoxic condition. The large amount of both uptake and release of phosphorus occurred above 20 mg/L of nitrate supply, achieving the ratio of phosphorus uptake to phosphorus release to be 1.05. In case V, phosphate luxury uptake was not occurred in system due to 6.98 mg/L of insufficient $NO_3^--N$ supply and the ratio of phosphorus uptake to phosphorus release was 0.98. Consequently, if nitrate as the electron acceptor was sufficient in anoxic zone, the ratio was found to be high.

인은 자연계에서 부영양화 현상을 일으키는 주요한 인자로서 하수중의 인은 주로 인축적 미생물의 과잉섭취에 의해 제거된다. 이 연구의 목적은 인을 처리하는 하수처리공정을 제어하는 것이다. 이를 위해서 본 연구에서는 두가지의 제어방법을 응용하였으며 이 방법은 최적제어(Optimal control)와 적응제어(Adaptive control)이다. 우선 최적제어는 유입수중의 인농도를 측정한 이후에 간략화된 ASM No. 2 모델을 이용하여 유출수중의 인농도가 1.0 mg/L가 되는 포기시간을 산정하고 이 산정된 포기시간에 따라 반응조를 제어함으로써 이루어진다. 그런데 실제 반응조를 최적제어로 한 경우에도 실제 유출수중의 인농도는 1.0 mg/L가 되지 않는 경우가 발생한다. 이 때에는 적응제어로서 목표로 한 1.0 mg/L를 벗어난 만큼 목표농도를 변화시켜 주며 제어를 실시하였다. 약 한달간의 제어결과 유출수중의 인농도는 0.2$\sim$3.2 mg/L이었으며 평균은 1.0 mg/L로서 만족스러웠다. 연구수행중 하수처리공정에서 두 번에 걸쳐 인섭취가 제한되는 현상이 발생하였다. 이에 대한 원인을 규명한 결과 원인은 암모니아의 부족과 과다한 포기가 원인인 것으로 나타났다.

Biological phosphorus removal is characterized by complex interactions between different intracellular components of energy as PHA. Therefore, fundamental understanding of the behavior of the intracellular components and their influence on the removal of phosphorus is essential before control strategies to stabilize the proper process. The purpose of this study is to investigate relationship between release of phosphorus and synthesis of intracellular storage polymer. Mass of stored intracellular storage polymer was 21.2 mg PHA/L, 28.8 mg PHA/g MLSS. And phosphorus release/intracellular storage polymer synthesis rate was 1.8545 mg stored polymer/mg Phosphate. In the aerobic phase, mass of PAOs synthesis is 49.37 mg PAOs/L. And PAOs fraction was 6.7-6.9%. Thus intracellular storage polymer synthesis by PAOs is calculated as 493mg PHA/g PAOs.
