To slove the problems by the scum, which causes operational and water quality problems in water treatment plants, several researches were conducted based on the site investigations on twelve large water treatment plants, biological and chemical analysis of scum, analyzing raw water quality data. Two types of scum, which are from scum and floe scum, can be classified based on the analysis and site investigations. The major parameter generating floe scum was indicated as fine bubbles dissolved in the water. The fine bubbles dissolved in the water can be generated by over-saturated air in the water, adding aluminum surface as the coagulant, conducting the break point pre-chlorination and so on. The water spray method, which is one of the physical treatment methods for removing scum, was selected for conducting experiments on the removal efficiency in the flocculation basin of the real water treatment plant. The water spray method was successfully applied for removing scum with the advantages of using spiral nozzles in case of using the raw water rather than the cleaned water.

As the meaning of dictionary terminology, scum refers to a layer of impurities that accumulates at the surface of a liquid. In papermaking process, scum indicates the floated solid waste generated by a flotation process during the primary wastewater treatment. In this study, different kinds of stocks and scums collected from newspaper, liner, tissue and fine paper were analysed in details. The purpose of this study was firstly to demonstrate the composition characteristics of different sources of scum, secondly the analysis of environmental hazardous materials, and thirdly the evaluation of reutilization ability of fibrous materials from collected scum. As mentioned the meaning of solid waste, scum was actually differ from the waste sludge in sources, compositions and recycling abilities. In the same manner of waste paper, the sludge which is generated within onsite of papermaking processes would be reused as a raw material. The general compositions of scum from waste water were mainly inorganic ash materials, fine fibre fractions, recycled fibre debries, and ink particles. If the scum is able to reuse as fibrous additives in papermaking process, it could contribute to the savings of running costs in both the subsidiaries of fibrous material and the solid waste treatment with even small quantity.

For the purpose of reduction of production cost in the industrial papermaking process, the use of waste paper has been more and more increased as a fibrous raw material, and the closed system of white water became closed more than ever. "Scum" indicates the floated sludge by a flotation during primary wastewater treatment process in paper mills. If the scum is used as the raw material, it could reduce both the raw material and solid waste treatment cost with even small quantity. In this study, the element survey and the toxicity measurement was carried out for recycling scum. A load factor of stock preparation process in paper mills was measured by somerville screen. Physical properties of paper sheet containing the accepted scum from the stock of AOCC or KOCC were evaluated. The result of this study shows that recycling scum has potential to be used in paper making system. It also might be able to reduce the required energy used by the pressing or drainage process, the raw material cost, and solid waste treatment cost due to the recycling of scum.

A milky gray scum was observed at some water area of the lake Daecheong in the summer of 1997 and 1998. To identify a causing organism of scum and affecting factors, we observed the scum material by a phase contrast microscope and surveyed the phsico-chemical water quality during the outbreak of scum. The scum was found out to be clogging cysts of amoeboid protozoan, Asterocaelum sp.(Protozoea Sarcodina Aconchulinida), grazer of filamentous cyanobacteria, Anabaena genus. The protozoan scum appeared during Anabaena bloom period, which continued for a while. This protozoan was presumed acting as a regulator of Anabaena bloom in the lake Daecheong during the summer season. Moreover this is the first report on Asterocaelum sp. a grazing filamentous cyanobacteria occurred in Korean freshwater.

대두유 및 미강유의 찌꺼기유내에 존재하는 고부가가치의 토코페롤을 농축하기 위하여, 찌꺼기유중의 불포화 유라지방산의 제거에 에타서l시스반응을 적용하고 그에 따른 농축효과에 관하여 연구하였다. 함유된 스테롤은 흔합용매법에 의해 제거하였고, 메타세시스반응은 헬륨분위기의 회분삭반응기를 사용하였다. 대두유 및 미강유의 찌꺼기유에 함유되어 있는 토코페롤은 헥산용매중에서 또는 공기존재하에서 가열하면 쉽게 소실되었다. 스테롤을 제거한 여액의 에타세시스반응에 있어서, 사용한 $Re_2O_7/Al2O_3$ 촉매는 12.8% (w/w)의 담지율이 가장 좋았는데, 이는 고담지율에서의 [$Re_2O_7$]과 테트라에틸주석이 반응하여 메타세시스에 유효한 활생종을 생성하기 때문으로 생각되었다. 촉매량은 원액 109당 O.5g의 경우가 최적이었으며, 반응온도는 $25^{\circ}C$가 가장 좋았다. 이 사살들로부터 찌꺼기유중의 토코페롤을 새로운 메타세시스반응에 의해 고농도로 항축할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This study was performed to optimize the integrated thermal-alkali pre-treatment of flotation scum for the enhanced biodegradability. The optimum conditions of the integrated thermal-alkali pre-treatment were obtained using response surface methodology. The disintegration degree of carbohydrate (69.2%) and protein (57.3) were estimated under the optimum conditions. Although the optimum conditions were different, the disintegration degrees were similarly. A fermentative hydrogen batch test was conducted to evaluate the hydrogen production from scum with and/or without. The maximum hydrogen production from scum with pre-treatment was of 0.64 mol H2/mol hexoseadded, which about 1.4 times higher than without pre-treatment.

New problems have been recently posed on the abnormal foaming (Scum) in an aeration tank and the sludge flotation in a final sedimentation tank during the activated sludge process. However, the activities of the causing bacteria, Nocardia-amarae in an aeration tank have not been searched out at all. Therefore, in this article the activities of Nocardia-amarae in an aeration tank have been closely examined by means of the changes of (F/M) ratio, SRT and inflowing substrate using continuous type and fed-batch type. Summarized results of experiments are as follows. 1. Regrading continuous culture when synthetic wastewater was used substrate neither the increase in the number of Nocardia-amarae in the aeration tank nor the Occurrence of Scum was observed. 2. In the case of fed-batch culture, Nocardia-amarae in the aeration tank increased due to the partial change in substrate and the effect of SRT was significant. 3. Once the scum was formed and the quantity of added Nocardia-amarae and substrate were not changed, the effect of STR was not significant.

Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was applied to optimize the thermal-alkaline pre-treatment operating conditions for anaerobic digestion of flotation scum in food waste leachate. Three independent variables such as thermal temperature, NaOH concentration and reaction time were evaluated. The maximum methane production of 369.2 mL $CH_4/g$ VS was estimated under the optimum conditions at $62.0^{\circ}C$, 10.1% NaOH and 35.4 min reaction time. A confirmation test of the predicted optimum conditions verified the validity of the BBD with RSM. The analysis of variance indicated that methane production was more sensitive to both NaOH concentration and thermal temperature than reaction time. Thermal-alkaline pretreatment enhanced the improvement of 40% in methane production compared to the control experiment due to the effective hydrolysis and/or solubilization of organic matters. The fractions with molecular weight cut-off of scum in food waste leachate were conducted before and after pre-treatment to estimate the behaviors of organic matters. The experiment results found that thermal-alkaline pre-treatment could reduce the organic matters more than 10kD with increase the organic matters less than 1kD.

생활의 향상 및 도시화로 인하여 국내의 하수슬러지는 매년 증대되고 있으나, 해양투기 금지 및 최종처리의 한계로 자원화 방법 중 하나인 혐기성소화의 관심도가 높아지고 있다. 그러나 하수의 고도처리에 따른 혐기성 소화 효율의 한계로 이를 높이기 위한 가용화 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 가용화 방법 중 경제적이고 유용한 기술로 알려진 오존은 스컴이 다량 발생되고, 제거에 대한 한계성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 소화슬러지의 습식분쇄에 따른 성상변화 및 오존반응의 전처리로 적용 시 스컴의 발생 및 가용화 효율변화를 알아보고자 한다. 연구결과, 습식분쇄만으로 VS/TS는 4.4%, $SCOD_{cr}/TCOD_{cr}$이 9.4% 증대되어 가용화가 일어났다. 또한, 습식분쇄 적용에 따른 오존반응 시 슬러지의 고형분의 입경 감소에 따른 비표면적의 증가로 오존반응만한 경우에 비하여 스컴 발생속도는 14.3% 감소되고, VS/TS는 2.1% 증대 되었다. 이 때 가용화 효율도 23.3% 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 본 연구를 통해 습식분쇄를 적용하여 오존반응 시 슬러지 중의 고형물과 접촉효율이 증가로 스컴의 생성 억제 및 가용화 증대로 후속공정인 혐기성 소화의 효율을 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
