Quercus infectoria (nutgall) has been reported to possess antimicrobial activities against a wide range of pathogens. Nevertheless, the biofilm removal effect of nutgall extract has not been widely investigated. In this study, we therefore evaluated the effect of nutgall extract in combination with cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) against preformed biofilm of Salmonella Typhimurium on polypropylene (PP) and stainless steel (SS) coupons in comparison with other sanitizers. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of nutgall extract and surfactants (CTAB and sodium dodecyl sulfate; SDS) were assessed. CTAB showed a more efficient antimicrobial activity than SDS and was selected to use in combination with nutgall extract for removing biofilm. To determine the biofilm removal efficacy, the PP and SS coupons were individually submerged in 2x MBC of nutgall extract (256 mg/ml) + 2x MBC of CTAB (2.5 mg/ml), nutgall extract alone (256 mg/ml), CTAB alone (2.5 mg/ml), distilled water, and 100 ppm sodium hypochlorite for 5, 15, and 30 min. The remaining sessile cells in biofilm were determined. Overall, the greatest biofilm removal efficacy was observed with nutgall extract + CTAB; the biofilm removal efficacy of sanitizers tended to increase with the exposure time. The SEM analysis demonstrated that S. Typhimurium biofilm on PP and SS coupons after exposure to nutgall extract + CTAB for 30 min displayed morphological alterations with wrinkles. This study suggests nutgall extract + CTAB may be an alternative to commonly used sanitizers to remove biofilm from food contact surfaces in the food industry and household.

자연정화공법에 의한 축산폐수처리장에서 효과적으로 축산폐수를 처리하기 위해 인공습지 축산폐수처리 시스템에 전처리방법으로 수생식물여과조와 활성슬러지조를 적용하여 최적 전처리방법을 조사하였다. 또한, 최적 전처리방법을 실제 현장 축산폐수처리장에 연계하여 시공한 후 전처리방법의 효율성과 안전성을 검토하였다. 수생식물여과조와 인공습지를 연계한 소형 축산폐수처리장치에서 최종방류수 중 COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율은 각각 83, 89, 63 및 87%이었다. 활성슬러지조와 자연정화공법을 연계한 소형 축산폐수처리장치에서 최종방류수 중 COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 처리효율은 각각 96, 95, 86 및 92%이었다. 수생식물여과조 및 활성슬러지조는 인공습지 축산폐수처리장의 전처리공법으로서 질소와 인 처리효율을 향상시킬 수 있어 고농도의 축산폐수를 안정적으로 처리하기 위해 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 최적 전처리방법을 연계한 실제 현장 축산폐수처리장에서 COD, SS, T-N 및 T-P 의 처리효율은 모든 조건에서 각각 99.8, 99.9, 99.2 및 99.9%으로 높은 처리효율을 보였다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of a lab-scale novel septic tank system for improving the conventional septic tank in the developing countries of water shortages. The lab-scale novel septic tank system consists of sepetic tank, aeration tank with HBC-ring, and sand filter. Optimum HRT was reguired about 1.5days to get a total COD removal efficiency of 90%, COD, BOD and SS removal efficiency was about 70%, 60%, and 85% in sepetic tank only. The structure of sepetic tank with two stages results in the high removal efficiency of organic matter. When sepetic tank, aeration tank, and sand filter were more than HRT 1.5days, 18hrs, and 12hrs, respectively, final effluent was less than 20 mg/L of BOD, 14 mg/L of SS, so that there is a high potential of its use for reusing water in flush toilet. There is no significant effect of HRT change on nutrient removal. Total nitrogen removal efficiency was about 40%, final effluent was 30~40 mg/L of TN, total phosphorus removal efficiency was about 11~25%, final effluent was 9~12 mg/L of TP. Because there is very small amounts of organic nitrogen and phosphorus in effluent, it was possible to reuse water for agricultural use.

The purpose of this study was to investigate applicability of pretreatment on the existing biological treatment for domestic wastewater reclamation. From Jar Tests, it was found that optimum dosage of coagulant was PAC 0.5mg/L and $FeCl_3$ 180mg/L for urban sewage. In this study, PAC 0.5mg/L was selected considering sludge production and the amount of coagulant required. In a continuous experiment performed with combining chemical coagulation and biological treatment, a considerable removal efficency was obtained in term of BOD, SS, T-N, T-P and ABS. When the raw sewage was supplied into the pre-chamical treatment facility, the removal of BOD and SS was 48.3% and 81.1%. However T-N removal was very low which means T-N consists of $NH_3-N$ mostly. T-P was almost completely recluced by the chemical addition. The effluent BOD & SS was 57~76 and 21~43mg/L, which could reduce the size of biological treatment facility. From the cost estimation pre-chemical treatment could save around half of the area required for biological treatment with post ceagulation.

수중에서 인, 질소의 함유농도는 부유고형물의 농도에 비례하여 증가하기 때문에 부유고형물의 제거는 유기물과 함께 질소, 인을 동시에 제거할 수 있다. 부유고형물은 수중에 미분체를 투입하면 투입된 미분체와 부유고형물 사이에는 반데르발스 힘과 같은 인력이 작용하여 응집이 형성되고 이 응집덩어리는 자성을 띠게 된다. 이와 같은 자성응집덩어리를 자력에 의해 형성된 자성 매트릭스에 직접 부착시켜 분리 제거함으로써 오수를 세정할 수 있다. 본 자료는 자성분리기술과 관련하여 오수 내의 부유고형물의 제거특성에 대한 것을 실험적으로 평가하고 부유물의 제거효율에 대하여 규명하고자 한다.

식품가공 공장에서 1차 가공되고 버려지는 게껍질을 화학처리하여 chitin을 제조한 후, 탈아세틸화하여 chitosan(Cs)을 제조하여 이 chitosan에 acrylic acid, maleic acid, fumalic acid를 그라프트공중합시켜 CsAa, CsMa와 CsFa를 합성하였다. 제조한 Cs, CsAa, CsMa와 CsFa의 구조 확인은 FT-IR, 전자현미경, X-Ray회절분석기로 하였으며, 응집제로서의 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 제지공장 폐수를 대상으로 응집제의 투입량을 변화시켜 본 결과 투과도, COD, SS의 제거율이 투입량 40ppm에서 제일 좋았으며, chitosan 보다 그라프트중합체를 사용했을 때의 제거율이 월등히 개선되었다. pH 변화에 따라서는 투과도, COD, SS의 제거율이 pH 5에서 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. Chitosan 보다 그라프트공중합체인 CsAa, CsFa와 CsMa가 월등히 우수한 제거율을 나타내고 있는 것은 chitosan에 카르복시기를 가진 단량체가 공중합됨으로서 양쪽성을 띠기 때문으로 예측된다.

The feasibility study of UV-disinfection system was performed for disinfection of effluent from wastewater treatment plant. Three low-pressure UV lamps of 17, 25, and 41 W were examined with various flow rates. Low-pressure UV lamps of 17W were examined with various turbidity, DOM (dissolved organic matter), and SS (suspended solid). The pilot plant was a flow-through type UV-disinfection system, and the range of exposure time varied from 5 to 40 seconds, turbidity from 0 to 40 NTU, DOM from 0 to 30 mg/L, and SS from 10 to 40 mg/L. The 41W lamp demonstrated complete disinfection showing no survival ratio in all the experimental conditions, and generally 17W and 25W lamps also showed high removal ratio over 97%. For the same UV dose (UV intensity times exposure time), high intensity-short exposure conditions showed better disinfection efficiency than low intensity-long exposure conditions. While the effects of turbidity and DOM were not apparent, the effects of SS was significant on the disinfection efficiency which indicates that SS control before UV-disinfection appears to be necessary to increase removal efficiency. Considering characteristics of effluent from existing wastewater treatment plants, cost-effectiveness, stable performance, and minimum maintenance, the flow-through type UV-disinfection system with high intensity and low-pressure lamps was thought to be a competitive disinfection system for wastewater reclamation.

This study was performed for the application of porous concrete blocks and aquatic plants for the water purification in small urban stream. This study investigated the ability of water purification according to various environments, algae and aquatic plants. When the porous concrete was used as contact media, the average removal efficiencies of SS, BOD and COD were 85~95%, 50~60% and 65~75%, respectively. Also, when the porous concrete and aquatic plants was used the average removal efficiency of SS, BOD and COD were 90~95%, 60~70% and 70~80%, respectively. As the results, average removal efficiency of total nitrogen, at the condition of the porous concrete and aquatic plants, was about 40-50%, then, that of total phosphorus was about 60-70%.
