Tastes and odor in water caused by geosmin and 2-MIB are the major customer complaints for water utilities. Therefore, control of geosmin and 2-MIB is a worldwide concern. In this study, the effects of biofilter media type (three different activated carbons and anthracite), empty bed contact time (EBCT) and temperature on the removal of geosmin and 2-MIB in BAC filters were investigated. Experiments were conducted at three different water temperatures (5, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$) and four different EBCTs (5, 10, 15, and 20 min). The experimental results indicated that the coal based BAC retained more bacterial biomass on the surface of the activated carbon than the other BACs, and increasing EBCT or increasing water temperature also increased the geosmin and 2-MIB removal in BAC filters. To achieve above 50% of removal efficiency for geosmin and 2-MIB in a BAC filter, above 10 min EBCT at $5^{\circ}C$ and 5 min EBCT at above $15^{\circ}C$ were required. The kinetic analysis for the biodegradation of geosmin and 2-MIB indicated a first-order reaction rate at various water temperatures. Data obtained from the BAC filters at various temperatures were also used to evaluate pseudo first-order rate constants for geosmin and 2-MIB. The half-lives evaluated at 5, 15, and $25^{\circ}C$ for geosmin and 2-MIB ranged from 2.39 to 10.31 min and 3.35 to 13.97 min, respectively, which can be used to assist water utilities in designing and operating BAC system.

하수슬러지 촤에 MnOx를 담지한 촉매를 사용하여 $NH_3$를 환원제로 하는 선택적 촉매 환원반응의 반응 메커니즘 분석을 수행하였다. XRD 분석 결과 활성 Mn phase는 $Mn_3O_4$인 것으로 여겨졌다. 또한 $150^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 흡착반응이 주요한 질소산화물 저감 메커니즘으로 작동하였으나, $100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$에서는 환원반응도 질소산화물 저감에 관여하는 것으로 보여졌다. 실험결과에 기초하여 활성 촤와 여기에 MnOx를 담지한 촤에서의 반응속도상수를 비교하였다. MnOx 담지촤는 높은 충돌계수와 낮은 활성화 에너지에 기인하여 높은 반응속도 상수와 높은 NOx 제거 효율을 나타내었다. 두 가지 촤 모두 본 실험 조건하에서 활성화 에너지는 상대적으로 낮았다(10~12 kJ/mol).

본 연구에서는 철가공 산업에서 배출되는 폐산화철을 활용하여 인 흡착특성을 평가하였다. 또한 도시하수 대상으로 폐산화철 접촉조를 적용한 생물반응조 공정의 운전 가능성을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 폐산화철의 표면특성은 inverse spinel 결정구조인 $Fe_3O_4(FeO{\cdot}Fe_2O_3)$가 주된 형태인 것으로 확인되었다. 2. 폐산화철의 인 흡착특성은 용액의 알칼리도에 따라 다소 차이를 보이나 Freundlich 과 Langmuir 등온흡착 이론식이 잘 적용되었다. 폐산화철의 인 흡착은 알칼리도에 영향을 받는다. 3. 폐산화철의 재생 횟수가 증가할수록 폐산화철의 흡착 특성은 상이하였으며, Freundlich 등온흡착식이 Langmuir 등온흡착식 보다 더 높은 상관성 및 유의성을 보였다. 또한 재생이 반복될수록 흡착능은 감소하였다. 4. 단일 BAF 시스템 운전시보다 폐산화철 접촉조를 적용한 BAF 시스템이 인 처리효율을 약 40%정도 향상시켰으며, 유출수는 총인(TP) 2 mg/L, 용존 인(SP) 1 mg/L 이내로 방류수 법적 기준치를 만족시킬 수 있었다. 5. 상기의 연구결과 폐산화철을 적용할 경우 인 제거가 안정적이며 제거효율이 높은 것으로 판단되며, 대체 흡착제로 활용 가능성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 폐자원의 활용이라는 환경 경제적인 측면에서도 그 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단된다.

Removal of Pb(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ), Cr(Ⅲ), and Zn(Ⅱ) ions from aqueous solutions using the adsorption process on domestic loess minerals has been investigated. Variations of contact time, pH, adsorption isotherms and selectivity of coexisting ions and leachate were experimental parameters. YDI, YPT and KRT samples diluted in 1% aquous solution which was adjusted pH 10.8, 8.0 and 6.50, respectively. The result of XRD measurement, Quartz was mainly observed in all samples. In the case of KRT sample, Kaolinite, Feldspar, Chlorite consisting of clay minerals shows almost same pattern with YPT samples. Different properties showed from the YDI sample containing Iillite, remarkably. For all the metals, maximum adsorption was observed at 30min∼60min. Adsorption of metal ions on loess minerals were reached an equilibrium by shaking the solution for about 30min. Removal efficiency of Pb(Ⅱ) ion for KRT, YPT and YDI were 84.7%, 92% and 100%, respectively. The Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) adsorptivity on KRT showed the low in various pH solution However, those on YPT and YDI were high than 90% except for the pH 2 solution. The orders of adsorptivities for domestic loess minerals showed as following : YPT>KRT>YDI. The adsorption isotherms of Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) ions on clay minerals were fitted to a Freundlich's. Freundlich constants(1/n) of KRT and YPT domestic loess minerals were 0.63, 0.97 and 0.36, 0.25, respectively.

Excessive phosphorus (P as orthophosphate) is one of the major pollutants in natural water that are responsible for algal blooms and eutrophication. P removal by slag is an attractive solution if the P sorption capacity of the slag is significant. To design an efficient land treatment facility, basic information on the behaviour of P in the media-water environment is required. In this study, detailed column experiments were conducted to study the P transport under dynamic condition, and mathematical models were developed to describe this process. The column experiments conducted with dust and cake waste products (slag) from BHP steel industry in Australia as adsorbing media indicated that they had higher sorption capacity of P than that of a sandy loam soil from North Sydney, Australia. P transport in the dust and cake columns exhibited characteristics S-shaped or curvilinear breakthrough curves. The simulated results from a dynamic physical non-equilibrium sorption model (DPNSM) and Freundlich isotherm constants satisfactorily matched the corresponding experimental breakthrough data. The mobility of P is restricted proportionally to the adsorbent's sorption capacity.

Using a developed mathematical model and calibrated kinetic constants, numerical experiments for a aerobic digestion of wastewater sludge by SBR aerobic digestion process combined with ultrasonication (USSBR) were performed in this study. It simulated well the phenomena of the decomposition of particulate organics and the release of organic nitrogen and transformation. To achieve 40 % of particulate organics removal, USSBR process requires only 6 days of SRT and 14 W/L of ultrasonic power whereas SBR aerobic digestion process requires 12 days of SRT. Based on the model simulation results, an empirical equation was presented here. This equation will be used to predict digestion efficiency for the given variables of SRT and ultrasonic power dose. USSBR aerobic digestion process can reduce the nitrogen concentration. The optimal operation strategy for the simultaneous removal of solids and soluble nitrogen in this process is estimated to 7 days of SRT with 14 W/L of ultrasonic power dose while anoxic period was 6 hours out of 24 hours of cycle time. In this condition, 40 % of particulate organics as well as 36 % of total nitrogen will be removed and the soluble nitrogen concentration of the centrate will be lower less then 40 mg/L.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the treatment efficiency of paper-mill wastewater using pure oxygen activated sludge process. Effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and organic loading on process performance and kinetics were investigated. The raw paper-mill wastewater(BOD concentration ${\leq}500mg/L$) and the effluent from dissolved air flotation(DAF) treatment(BOD concentration ${\geq}500mg/L$) were used as influent for pure oxygen activated sludge process. Average BOD removal efficiencies were above 89.3% under 6hours or longer of HRT, while under 3hours of HRT they decreased to about 82%. With the effluent from DAF process, the half saturation constants($K_S$) and the maximum specific substrate removal rate($K_{max}$) were 85 mg/L and 2.25 L/day, respectively. However, with the raw paper-mill wastewater, both $K_S$ and $K_{max}$ increased to 156 mg/L and 3.84 L/day, respectively. The microbial yield coefficient(Y) and the decay coefficient($K_d$) were 0.46 gVSS/gBOD and 0.03 L/day, respectively, with effluent from DAF process. While, Y and $K_d$ were 0.24 gVSS/gBOD and 0.035 L/day, respectively, with the raw paper-mill wastewater.

Mesoporous carbon CMK-3s with different textural properties have been used for the adsorption of phenol to understand the necessary physicochemical properties of carbon for the efficient removal of phenol from contaminated water. The kinetic constants (both pseudo-second order and pseudo-first-order kinetics) increase with increasing pore size of carbons. The maximum adsorption capacities correlate well with micropore volume compared with surface area or total pore volume even though large pore (meso or macropore) may contribute partly to the adsorption. The pore occupancies also explain the importance of micropore for the phenol adsorption. For efficient removal of phenol, carbon adsorbents should have large micropore volume and wide pore size for high uptake and rapid adsorption, respectively.

활성탄소를 가지고 수용액으로부터 전이금속이온을 제거 능력에 대해 시험했다. 탄소의 물리적, 화학적 그리고 액체-상 흡착 특징은 다음의 기준 절차로 수행하였다. Ni(II), Cu(II) 그리고 Fe(III)이온의 제거 연구는 흡착물질의 양, 금속이온 용액의 pH, 배치 모드에서 시간을 다양하게 하여 시도되었다. 평균 흡착 데이터는 Freundlich와 Langmuir로 맞춰졌고 등온 상수는 계산되었다. 다른 세가지 금속 이온의 평균 시간은 결정되었다. pH는 흡착에 있어서 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 발견했다. 이 과정은 흡열반응이었고, 열역학 인자는 계산되었다. 흡착 연구는 이온교환 메커니즘이 작용되는 것을 나타내고 있다.
