A simple and efficient scheme is presented that attempts to implement the site-specific denitrification rate in the reactive transport modeling for the nitrate in groundwater. A series of correlation analyses were conducted using 133 datasets obtained from different nitrate-contaminated sites to find the empirical relationships between denitrification rates and various subsurface properties. Based on Pearson's correlation analysis, the soil organic carbon concentrations showed a statistically significant correlation (r = 0.75, p < 0.05) with the denitrification rates. A linear regression was performed, which could be utilized to effectively determine the site-specific denitrification rate based on the soil organic carbon concentration of a site. The proposed method is expected to effectively replace the conventional methods which either were too complicated for practical application or impose large uncertainties that might end up with unreliable results.

This study was conducted to investigated the removal efficiency of BOD and nutrient for the treatment of low strength municipal wastewater by a biological nutrient removal system. In this experiment, the effect of operating parameter including HRT of 7.0hr, BOD/TN ratios of 2.62~4.08, internal recycle of 50~300%, and return sludge of 50~100%, were studied during winter season. Efficiencies of organic matter and T-P removal and denitrification were not significantly affected by the change of temperature in winter season. However, the specific nitrification rate and nitrification efficiency decreased at low temperature. Besides, denitrification efficiencies increased with increasing BOD/TN ratios. It was also found that the internal recycle and return sludge ratio below 50% is required for the effective denitrification of low strength municipal wastewater. With operating mode 4 of the optimum, the effluent BOD, T-N and T-P concentration were obtained to average 5.8, 14.6, and 0.84 mg/L, respectively. The temperature-activity coefficient (${\theta}$) of specific nitrification rate, specific denitrification rate and specific phosphorus uptake rate were obtained 1.044, 1.017, 1.028, respectively.

Methanotrophic denitrification under a non-aerated condition (without external supply of oxygen or air) was investigated in a bioreactor coupled with a membrane diffuser. Batch experiment demonstrated that both methane consumption and nitrogen production rates were not high in the absence of oxygen, but most of the nitrate was reduced into $N_2$ with 88% recovery efficiency. The methane utilized for nitrate reduction was determined at 1.63 mmol $CH_4$/mmol $NO_3{^-}$-N, which was 2.6 times higher than the theoretical value. In spite of no oxygen supply, methanotrophic denitrification was well performed in the bioreactor, due to enhanced mass transfer of the methane by the membrane diffuser and utilization of oxygen remaining in the influent. The denitrification efficiency and specific denitrification rate were 47% and 1.69 mg $NO_3{^-}-N/g\;VSS{\cdot}hr$, respectively, which were slightly lower than for methanotrophic denitrification under an aerobic condition. The average concentration of total organic carbon in the effluent was as low as 2.45 mg/L, which indicates that it can be applicable as a post-denitrification method for the reclamation of secondary wastewater effluent. The dominant fatty acid methyl ester of mixed culture in the bioreactor was $C_{16:1{\omega}7c}$ and $C_{18:1{\omega}7c}$, which was predominantly found in type I and II methanotrophs, respectively. This study presents the potential of methanotrophic denitrification without externally excess oxygen supply as a post-denitrification option for various water treatment or reclamation.

본 연구에서는 막결합생물반응조(MBR)공법을 비롯한 하수고도처리공법에서 유입하수량의 변화에 따른 슬러지 특성 변화를 파악하고자 하였다. 일 1.5톤을 처리하는 모형실험시설에서 설계유량 대비 유입하수량을 100, 70, 40, 10%로 변화시켜가며 이에 따른 비탈질속도(specific denitrification rate)와 비질산화속도(specific ammonia oxidation rate)의 변화를 측정하였다. 각 공법의 폭기조에서 채취한 슬러지의 비질산화속도는 유입하수량 100% 조건에서 세 가지 공법 모두 유사한 값($0.10gNH_4/gMLVSS/day$)으로 측정되었다. 유입하수량이 70%에서 40%로 감소함에 따라 비질산화속도가 크게 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 비탈질속도 역시 유입하수량이 감소함에 따라 최대 50%가량 감소하였다. 유입하수량이 감소할수록 비탈질속도와 비질산화속도가 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으나 원수의 총질소 농도와 반응조 내 미생물 농도를 고려하면 질소제거율에 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니었다. 따라서 유입하수량이 감소하는 경우에도 반응조 내 미생물 농도를 높게 유지할 수 있다면 안정적인 질소 제거가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated to obtain thiosulfate-utilizing denitrifier cultivated with two types of electron accepter (nitrate and nitrite). Using the microbial biomass obtained from the SBR, batch tests were conducted with different nitrite concentrations (50 and 100 mg-N/L) at pH 7.0, 7.5 and 7.9 to see how free nitrous acid (FNA) negatively works on the thiosulfate-utilizing denitrification of nitrate. The specific denitrification rate (SDR) of nitrate was significantly influenced by pH and FNA. The presence of nitrite caused a remarked decrease of the SDR under low pH conditions, because of the microbiological inhibitory effect of FNA. The minimum SDR was observed when initial nitrite concentration was 100 mg-N/L at pH 7.0. Moreover. the SDR was influenced by the type of electron acceptor used during the SBR operation. Thiosulfate-utilizing denitrifier cultivated with nitrite showed smaller SDR on the thiosulfate-utilizing denitrification of nitrate than those cultivated with nitrate.

Characteristics of sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification in a semi-continuous type reactor and the kinetic parameters were studied. Enriched autotrophic denitrifying culture was used for the reactor operation. Biomass growth on sulfur particles and in the liquid medium was monitored using the DAPI staining method. From the result of ion concentration changes and the biomass growth, maximum specific growth rate, ${\mu}_{max}$, and the half velocity constant, $K_M$, were estimated as $0.61\;d^{-1}$ and 3.66 mg/L, respectively. Growth yield coefficient, Y values for electron acceptor and donor were found as 0.49 gVSS/g N and 0.16 gVSS/g S. The biomass showed specific denitrification rate, ranging 0.86-1.13 gN/g VSS-d. A half-order equation was found to best simulate the denitrification process in the packed bed reactor operated in the semi-continuous mode.

The objectives of this study are to investigate the effect of media on the removal efficiency of nitrate-nitrogen and the biofilm thickness in the fluidized bed biofilm reactor(FBBR) used for the high rate denitrification of nitric acid wastewater. Granular activated carbon(GAC) of 1.274 mm diameter and sand of 0.455 mm diameter were used as the media in the FBBR of 0.05 m diameter and 1.5 m height. As the nitrate-nitrogen concentration of the influent was increased stepwise from 600 to 4800 mg/l, the nitrate- and nitrite-nitrogen concentration of the effluent, biofilm thickness and biofilm dry density were measured to study the effects of media on the denitrification efficiency. The biofilm thickness increased with the substrate loading rate, and the biofilm dry density decreased with the increase of the biofilm thickness. At the influent nitrate-nitrogen concentration of 2400 mg/l, the removal efficiency in the FBBR with GAC was 88%, while that in the FBBR with sand was 99.6%. The biofilm in the FBBR with GAC was so thick, 754.9 $\mu$m, as to increase the mass transfer resistance, compared to that, 143.7 $\mu$m, in the FBBR with sand. The maximum specific denitrification rate in the FBBR with GAC was 15.0 kg-N/m$^3\cdot$ day, while that in the FBBR with sand was 18.0 kg-N/m$^3\cdot$ day. The biomass concentration in the FBBR with sand exhibited the high value 37 kg/m$^3$.

본 연구에서는 혐기성 슬러지의 적응 기질에 따른 탈질능력을 관찰하고자 탄소기질로서 포도당 이외에 기질등을 사용하여 탈질 및 메탄반응의 변화 및 SDNR(Specific Denitrification Rate) 등을 관찰하였다. 순수 메탄생성 슬러지에서 아세테이트를 사용하였을 경우, SMA 값은 $0.76gCOD/g{\cdot}VSS{\cdot}day$로 가장 높았고, SDNR 측정결과 탈질균의 비율이 상대적으로 높은 C/N 비 5에 적응된 슬러지에서 아세테이트를 탄소기질로 사용하였을 경우에 가장 높은 $1.38g{\cdot}NO_3{^-}N/g{\cdot}VSS{\cdot}day$이었다. 혐기성 탈질반응 및 메탄 생성반응은 탄소기질 및 슬러지의 종류에 따라 영향을 받았고, C/N 비 5에 적응된 슬러지에서 다른 탄소기질보다 아세테이트를 사용하였을 경우에 탈질반응상수 값은 $1.96hr^{-1}$로 가장 높았다. 다양한 탄소기질에 적응된 혐기성 슬러지에 포도당을 전자공여체로 이용하여 비탈질속도(SDNR)를 측정한 결과 포도당, 축산폐수, 아세테이트 기질에 적응된 슬러지 순으로 나타났다. 탄소기질에 대한 미생물의 적응여부와 혐기성 소화공정 각 단계에서 성장하는 미생물군(bio-community)의 상호공생관계가 탈질 속도를 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
