This study was performed to evaluate the removal effects of nutritive salts and organic pollutants in experimental aeration reactor for treatment of piggery slurry. In this study, three types of reactors were manufactured and operated. The fibrous media was equipped in one of three reactors. Another reactor was equipped with the siliceous media and the other reactor used as a control was equipped with typical aeration system only. Treatment efficacy of three types of reactors were evaluated according to the pollutants removal rate of the piggery slurry. The results obtained in this study are as follows : 1) In the reactor containing fibrous media, the removal efficiency of BOD, T-N and T-P was 11%, 13.9% and 21.2%, respectively. 2) In the reactor containing siliceous media, the removal efficiency of BOD, T-N and T-P was 6.9%, 25.3% and 47.8%, respectively. 3) In the reactor not containing media, the removal efficiency of BOD. T-N and T-P was 6.1%, 8.1.% and 23.6%, respectively. 4) Sludge accumulation in the reactor equipped with filamentous media was lower than that of other experimental reactors.

To treat non-point source pollution in Juam lake, removal efficiencies of pollutants were investigated in Bongsan constructed wetlands (CWs) at different treatment time, stages and wastewater loads. The constructed wetlands consisted of forebay, $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ wetlands. The concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N, and T-P in inflow were $1.87mg\;L^{-1}$, $1.62mg\;L^{-1}$, $11.47mg\;L^{-1}$, and $4.40mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. The removal rates of BOD, SS, T-N, and T-P in Bongsan CWs were 26, 18, 16 and 9%, respectively. The removal rates of BOD and T-N were higher than those for SS and T-P. The amounts of pollutant removal in Bongsan CWs were higher in the order of forebay > $1^{st}$ wetland > $2^{nd}$ wetland for BOD, forebay > $2^{nd}$ wetland > $1^{st}$ wetland for SS, $1^{st}$ wetland > forebay > $2^{nd}$ wetland for T-N and $2^{nd}$ wetland > forebay > $1^{st}$ wetland for T-P.

A contactor coupled sequencing batch reactor composed of pre-anoxic contact zone and intermittently aerated zone was proposed and operated for nitrogen removal. Emphasis was placed on the fact that the contactor can be operated in a rapid reaction mode that results In biological uptake but incomplete metabolism of organic matter. Consequently, 61.2% of the sewage SCOD was adsorbed to activated sludge by 30-minute contact reaction. The specific uptake of organic matter was 22.3 mg SCOD/g MLVSS that enhanced the denitrification efficiency in the following denitrification stage. The removal efficiencies of the organic matter(SCOD) and the total nitrogen(T-N) were 86% and about 60% at the TCOD/TKN ratio as low as 6.0, respectively.

The feasibility of foam separation to remove solid produced from fish culture water was investigated. Performance characteristics of foam separator were highly dependent upon the operating parameters which were superficial air velocity, Hydraulic retention time (HRT), and foam height. About $50\%$ of the total protein contained in a sample of fish culture water could be removed by foam separator. The removal efficiencies of protein, T-N, TA, and solid components were increased with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT. The combined effects of these operational variables show that removal rates of TVS increase with increasing superficial air velocity and HRT, and decrease as foam height goes up. It could be confirmed that foam separator might offer good perspective for removal of harmful components such as TA and TVS in aquacultural recirculating water.

To investigate the effects of MLSS concentration and influent C/N ratio on the nitrogen removal efficiency of alternately intermittently aerated nonwoven fabric filter bioreactors, the MLSS concentrations of the reactors were maintained at approximately 5,500 mg/L, 10,000 mg/L and 15,000 mg/L, and the influent TCOD/TKN ratio was decreased gradually from 5 to 2 by adding $NH_4Cl$. The influent was prepared by diluting a food waste leachate to a TCOD concentration of about 300 mg/L. The results of the experiment showed F/M ratios less than 0.112 g TCOD/g MLSS-day, average TCOD removal efficiencies of above 95%, and an average observed microbial yield coefficient of 0.283 g MLSS/g COD removed. The nitrification efficiencies were computed to be always better than 96% except one case where the nitrification efficiency was 90.5% when the MLSS concentration and the influent TCOD/TKN ratio was 5,500 mg/L and 2, respectively. The denitrification efficiency deteriorated as the influent TCOD/TKN ratio decreased. The average denitrification efficiency at the MLSS concentration of 10,000 mg/L was 10.7% better than that at the MLSS concentration of 5,500 mg/L, and the denitrification rate improved at a rate of 2.66 mg NL as the MLSS concentration increased by 1,000 mg/L. When the MLSS concentration was 15,000 mg/L, however, the average denitrification efficiency was merely 4.6% higher compared to when the MLSS concentration was 5,500 mg/L, and the denitrification rate increased at a rate of 0.75 mg N/L per 1,000 mg/L MLSS increase. Therefore, no strict proportional relationship was found between MLSS concentration and endogenous denitrification rate. The average alkalinity consumption rate was 3.36 mg alkalinity/mg T-N removed, which is similar to the theoretical value of 3.57 mg alkalinity/mg T-N removed, but the rate increased as the influent TCOD/TKN ratio decreased.

Ethanolamine (ETA) is mainly used to prevent corrosion of pipe in secondary cooling system of nuclear power plant. Condensed ETA in wastewater could increase COD and T-N when it was emitted to natural water system. Compared to conventional treatments, electrochemical oxidation process using packed bed bipolar electrodes was adopted to treat COD and T-N. According to arrangement of feeder electrode, single packed bed bipolar electrode reactor and multi-paired packed bed bipolar reactor were developed and conventional zero-valent iron (ZVI) was selected as conducting bipolar electrode. Bipolar electrodes were coordinated three-dimensionally in the reactor. The experimental results showed that COD and T-N was little removed in unit system at different pH condition (pH 8 and 11) on 100V. However, in multi-paired system that applied 600V, COD was eliminated 80.85% (anode-cathode-anode, A-C-A) and 85.11% (cathode-anode-cathode, C-A-C), respectively. T-N was also removed 96.88% (A-C-A) and 90.63% (C-A-C), simultaneously. Current efficiency was estimated both single and multi-paired system. At unit bipolar packed bed reactor, current efficiency was almost zero, however in multi-paired system, current efficiency was 300~500% at A-C-A and 250~350% at C-A-C. Current efficiency was over 100% hence it was confirmed that this system is more effective than conventional electrochemical oxidation system.

Aziridine derivatives were utilized for the formation of aziridine N-oxides at low temperature, which were subject to easy decomposition and/or rearrangement like the protonated aziridines at room temperature. t-Butyl nitroso compound formed by the decomposition of N-oxide is easily characterized by its blue color and it is the major product in case that no branched alkyl groups are substituted on the carbon atoms of the aziridine ring and the stationary groups on the nitrogen are inert to rearrange the oxide such as the t-butyl group. The oxidative rearrangement products, however, are mainly formed when the substituents are methyl or ethyl group on the carbon atoms. It is interesting to see that the sigmatropic rearrangement of 2-ethyl aziridine gave only cis olefinic compound selectively in case that t-butyl group was substituted on the nitrogen, whereas N-hydroxy aziridine compounds were formed exclusively when t-butyl group was replaced with ethyl group.
