This study was conducted to determine optimum design parameters in nitrification and denitrfication of chemical fertilizer wastewater using pilot plant, Jet Loop Reactor. The chemical fertilizer wastewater which contains low amounts of organic carbon and has a high nitrogen concentration requires a post-denitrfication system. Organic nitrogen is hydrolyzed above $86\%$, and the concentration of organic nitrogen was influent wastewater 126mg/L and of effluent wastewater 16.4mg/L, respectively. The nitrification above $90\%$ was acquired to TKN volumetric loading below $0.5\;kgTKN/m^3{\cdot}d$, TKN sludge loading below $0.1\;kgTKN/kgVSS{\cdot}d$ and SRT over 8days. The nitrification efficiency was $90\%$ or more and the maximum specific nitrification rate was $184.8\;mgTKN/L{\cdot}hr$. The denitrification rate was above $95\%$ and the concentration of $NO_3-N$ was below 20mg/L. This case was required to $3\;kgCH_3OH/kgNO_3-N$, and the effluent concentration of $NO_3^--N$ was below 20mg/L at $NO_3^--N$ volumetric loading below $0.7\;kgNO_3^--N/m^3{\cdot}d$ and v sludge loading below $0.12\;kgNO_3^-N/kgVSS{\cdot}d$. At this case, the maximum sludge production was $0.83\;kgTS/kgT-N_{re}$ and the specific denitrfication rate was $5.5\;mgNO_3-N/gVSS{\cdot}h$.

일반적으로 비닐하우스내의 농작물 경작은 자연환경과 차단된 조건에서 작물을 집약적으로 재배하므로 비료의 사용량이 많아 오염원으로 작용하고, 휴작기에 비닐을 제거 방치하므로 비닐 표면에 집적된 오염물은 강우 시 유출되어 이들로 인한 주변 하천수 및 지하수 오염을 가중시킨다. 따라서 팔당호 유역내 하천 부지에서 비닐하우스 등이 집단화 되어 있어 이로 인해 팔당호 유역내 수질에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 또한 팔당호 유역내 하천부지에서 대단위 비닐농가가 집단적으로 조성되어 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 팔당호 유역내 산발적으로 비닐하우스 농가가 형성되어 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이들 비닐하우스로부터 비강우시에는 유출 오염수는 없는 것으로 파악되었으나, 강우 시 강우유출수가 표면 유출되는 과정에서 오염수가 팔당호로 직접 유입되어 팔당호 수질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 팔당호 유역의 비닐하우스 경작에 의한 수질특성 조사 결과, SS 농도는 북한강 $372{\sim}446$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $488{\sim}547$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $345{\sim}415$ $mg/{\ell}$로 조사되었으며, BOD 농도는 북한강 $12.2{\sim}15.3$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $13.3{\sim}16.8$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $15.6{\sim}18.8$ $mg/{\ell}$으로 조사되었고, COD 농도는 북한강 $23.9{\sim}26.8$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $25.2{\sim}26.0$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $26.4{\sim}32.9$ $mg/{\ell}$로 조사되었다. 또한 T-N 농도는 북한강 $17.39{\sim}23.64$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $17.87{\sim}22.09$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $18.34{\sim}19.55$ $mg/{\ell}$으로 조사되었으며, T-P 농도는 북한강 $1.425{\sim}1.795$ $mg/{\ell}$, 남한강 $1.519{\sim}1.767$ $mg/{\ell}$, 경안천 $1.727{\sim}1.827$ $mg/{\ell}$로 조사되었다. 또한, 오염부하량으로부터 산정된 비닐하우스의 하천에 미치는 오염부하기여율은 SS의 경우 17.3%, BOD 4.5%, COD 5.2%, T-N 11.0%, T-P 7.4%로 조사되었다. 이는 비닐하우스 농가에서 유출되는 SS 및 T-N, T-P 오염부하량이 하천에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 높다는 것을 의미하며, 이는 비닐하우스 주변이 주로 나대지로 되어 있고 비료 또는 영양물질이 많기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 탄소성 유기물질을 나타내는 BOD 및 COD의 오염부하기여율은 주변 토양과 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결국 비닐하우스의 재배는 토양 표면피복의 효과적인 관리 및 영양물질에 대한 관리가 이루어지지 않을 경우 팔당호에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The effects of HRT and effluent time on removals of pollutants in the electrochemical pilot were investigated. COD removal after 8 hour electrochemical reaction time in HRT 30 and 60 minutes were higher than that of 15 minute HRT. Turbidity removal was 90% or greater regardless of conditions during effluent time. Removals of T-N and T-P during effluent time in HRT 30 and 60 minutes were $71{\sim}74%$ and $85{\sim}98%$, respectively. To evaluate the combination of activated sludge process and continuous electrochemical as pretreatment, the removal efficiencies of pollutants was investigated. In two treatment processes of a single activated sludge system and a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems, SVI and MLSS during effluent time were kept with $82{\sim}112$ and $1,230{\sim}1,750$ mg/L, respectively. COD removal was approximately 90% at early effluent time for both treatment systems, but COD removal in a single activated sludge was slightly decreased as effluent time went by, compared with the single activated sludge COD removal was slightly increased in the early stage of the electrolysis plus activated sludge system. Turbidity removal during effluent time was higher than 95% for both treatment systems. T-N removals during effluent time in a single activated sludge system and a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems were $62{\sim}74%$ and $72{\sim}86%$, respectively. T-P removal in a electrolysis pilot plus activated sludge systems was increased by 9% at early effluent time and 15% after 72 hours of effluent time in compared with a single activated sludge system.

The purpose of this research was to examine the possibility on the recycling of foodwaste leachate as external carbon sources using microbubble. The following operating conditions were selected: pressurizing tank 3 bar, circulation flow rate 3.65 LPM, and air flow rate 0.3 LPM with batch type. Microbubble contact time of 18 hours is optimal time to satisfy the recycling of foodwaste leachate as external carbon sources with batch type. HRT 18 hours came up to standard for external carbon sources, except for T-P concentration with continuous type. Coagulants need to be used for removal of dissolved phosphorus concentration by more than 88.5% of the total phosphorus concentration. The VFA was influenced by the organic decomposition rate and the concentration in the aerobic condition. It was considered that the VFA was needed for selection the optimal HRT or the addition of acid fermentation process in order to meet recycling standard of foodwaste leachate.

Nitrogen and phosphorus are key factors in causing eutrophication of water body. In this study, ceramics media was selected to increase the removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus. We designed vertical, horizontal flow constructed wetlands to create aerobic and anaerobic flow conditions by using the media, then proceeded to performance evaluations after acrylic reactors were produced. In the case of vertical and horizontal flow constructed wetlands, we measured oxygen concentrations to evaluate aerobic and anaerobic conditions. we got the result of 2.7 mg/L in the aerobic condition, N.D in the anaerobic condition respectively, which suited our purpose. The result of the combined vertical and horizontal flow condition showed that the removal efficiency of SS was 94%, 91%, 61% at 140 min, 80 min, 60 min of running times, respectively, and the removal efficiency of T-P was 84%, 71%, 63% during each running time. In case of T-N, the removal efficiency was 63%, 49%, 42% during each running time. We found that the reactor exerted better removal efficiency when in the short time compared to 12 - 24 hr residence time of existing wetlands. In this study, we conducted experiments to explore functional effects after applying combined vertical and horizontal flow methods in the field. Further study will be carried out to identify its mechanism and administrative perspective.

The manure made of chaff and sawdust as litter was collected separately at a cowshed of a livestock farm in Andondg city. The fermentation efficiency of excreta is greatly influenced by the type and characteristics of litter and a factor to be considered for reducing N and P, the causes of eutrophication. Changes in weight with temperature and constituents of sample were examined using TG-DTA and XRF, respectively. NO₂^-, NO₃^-, and PO₄^3- ions and NH₄⁺, T-P and T-N eluted from manure by rain were analyzed using ion chromatograph and UV/Vis spectrometry, respectively. As a result, the fermentation efficiency of excreta in sawdust manure is three times higher as compared with chaff manure. The higher the fermentation efficiency, ammonia nitrogen was highly de-nitrogenated and organic phosphorous were also changed into phosphorous ions. Furthermore, phosphorous ions can be removed by transforming insoluble salts such as calcium phosphate (CaHPO₄·3H₂O) and struvite (NH₄MgPO₄·6H₂O) with addition of Ca and Mg.

Nitrogen compounds are one of the major pollutants which cause eutrophication problems of the river or lake and red tides problems of the ocean. Currently available technologies for the removal of nitrogen compounds are mostly biological treatment. However, biological treatment is only effective for the wastewater which contains low concentration of nitrogen compounds. Leachate from solid waste landfill or industrial wastewater which contains high concentration of nitrogen can not be effectively treated by most of the currently available biological treatment technologies. With this connection. the objective of this study is to examine the applicability of ammonia stripping technology for the removal of high concentration of ammonia nitrogen compounds of the leachate from solid waste landfill. It can be concluded that ammonia stripping technology which was placed before the biological treatment process was very effective for the removal of high concentration of ammonium compounds. The chemical cost for the ammonia stripping was 16 percent higher than MLE process, so other methods like sludge recycling are needed for the reduction of operation cost. Further details are discussed in this paper.

The purposes of this research were to evaluate the character of laboratory wastewater, and to examine the utilization of waste egg shells for neutralization and removal of heavy metals. Waste egg shells are excellent at neutralizing acidic wastewater, because they have alkaline minerals such as calcium. It must be seemed that removal rate of heavy metals were very influenced by adsobent dosage and adsorbate concentrations, because waste egg shells acted as precipitation and adsorption. If we reflected the adsorption capacity(k) and adsorption(1/n) of Freundlich isotherm, we couldn't consider waste egg shells as a good adsorbent. In view of these results, it showed that wastes containing the similar compositions as waste egg shells could utilize the neutralization, precipitation and adsorption of heavy metals in laboratory wastewater.

CT(Sodium N-chloro-para toluenesulfonamide, Chloramine-T) known to be a strong oxidative agent was investigated to use as a candidate of disinfectant in the marine aquaculture industry by the analysis of the bactericidal activity against different aquatic microorganisms. One hundred percent mortality appeared at and above 16 ppm CT in sea water in flounder, the predominant species in the marine aquaculture of Korea, when exposed for 48hr. However, bactericidal activity was appeared to be very effective, and all different species of the fish pathogenic bacteria exposed to CT of less than 2 ppm in sea water were dead within 15 min. It allowed us to confirm that CT could be a very effective disinfectant to protect the spread of fish pathogenic bacteria derived from diseased fish or sea water in marine aquaculture. High concentration(10 ppm) with longer exposing time(24 hrs) was required for the algicidal activity of CT, at which concentration might induce the acute toxicity against fish, however, restricted the expanded use of CT for the elimination of zooplanktons at phytoplanktons in marine farms. Moreover the bactericidal activity of CT inhibited almost completely in the present of more than 10 ppm of organic materials pointed out that quality of the culturing sea water should be considered carefully for the application CT to the aquatic farms as a therapeutic agent.
