Background: Piton du Milieu (PdM) impounding reservoir is suspected to be eutrophic based on the elevated level of orthophosphate and nitrate. Water supplies from three adjacent rivers are primarily thought to contribute to the nutrient enrichment of the reservoir. It is also suspected that there is leaching of orthophosphate, nitrate and organic matter into the rivers during rainfall events and also as a result of anthropogenic activities within the catchment area. The aim of this study was to ascertain the impact of nutrient loading on the water quality of PdM water and on the population of freshwater microalgae in the reservoir. The enumeration and identification of algae from PdM were performed by differential interference contrast microscopy. Dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH were determined by electrometric methods, whereas nutrient levels, silica and total organic carbon (TOC) were determined by instrumentation techniques. Results: Annual mean orthophosphate, nitrate and total organic carbon input from the three feeders within the catchment area of PdM reached levels as high as 0.09 mg/L, 0.4 mg/L and 2.62 ppm respectively. Over a 12-month period, mean TOC concentration in the reservoir was 2.32 ppm while the mean algal cell count was 4601 cells/mL. The dominant algal species identified were Oscillatoria, Cyclotella, Navicula and Cosmarium. Conclusion: This study highlights the trophic state of the reservoir water and clearly points to the need for constant monitoring in order to avoid the occurrence of an impending harmful algal bloom.

불균일 촉매 CuO를 이용한 반응성 아조계 염료 Reactive Black 5(RB5) 폐수의 촉매습식산화에서 반응온도($190{\sim}230^{\circ}C$) 및 촉매농도(0.00~0.20 g/l)가 폐수의 색도 및 총 유기탄소 TOC 제거에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 폐수의 색도는 분광광도계를 사용하여 측정하였고, 습식산화속도는 TOC를 이용하여 산출하였다. 열분해 조건($230^{\circ}C$, 120 min)에서 폐수의 색도는 약 90%까지 제거되었지만 TOC는 제거되지 않았다. RB5 폐수 촉매 습식산화에서의 폐수의 색도 및 TOC 제거속도는 반응온도 및 촉매농도를 증가시킴에 따라 증가하였다. 촉매의 영향은 0.01 g CuO/l에서 이미 상당히 크게 나타났으며 0.05 g CuO/l 이상에서의 촉매농도 증가에 따른 효과는 작았다. 폐수 색도의 초기변화는 색도에 대한 1차 반응속도론으로 나타낼 수 있었으며, TOC 변화는 폐수 TOC를 쉽게 산화되는 TOC와 난분해성 TOC 로 구분한 global 모델로 묘사할 수 있었다. 반응온도의 폐수 색도 및 TOC 제거속도에 미치는 영향은 Arrhenius 상관관계식으로 묘사할 수 있었다. RB5 폐수의 열분해, 습식산화 및 0.20 g CuO/l의 촉매농도를 사용한 촉매습식산화 조건에서의 색도 제거반응의 활성화에너지는 각각 108.4, 78.3 및 74.1 kJ/mol의 값을 나타내었다. RB5 폐수 촉매습식산화에서의 TOC 제거반응에서 산화 최종산물로의 전환에 대한 난분해성 중간산물로의 전환 비는 페놀 습식산화에 비하여 상대적으로 높았다.

본 연구는 급격한 수질변화에 따른 현장 적용에 적합한 응집제를 선정하고, 응집제 별 최적 주입량을 찾기 위해 aluminium sulfate, poly aluminum chloride, poly aluminum silicate chloride를 이용하여 Jar-Test와 Pilot-Test의 검증으로 실험 하였다. 분석 항목은 탁도, TOC, pH로 제거율을 측정하였다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 PASC의 경우 기존 응집제 인 Alum이나 PAC 보다 최적 주입량 (15 mg/L)이 상대적으로 적었으며, 제거율도 높게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. Jar-Test에서는 원수 탁도 3-20 NTU 범위에서 응집제(PASC)의 최적 주입량을 주입하였을 때, 탁도 제거율(80%)과 TOC 제거율(89%)이 가장 높았으며, Pilot-Test에서는 원수 탁도 3.6-27 NTU 범위에서 응집제 최적 주입량을 주입하였을 때 탁도 제거율(82%)과 TOC 제거율(88%)을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 응집제의 제거 효과는 원수 탁도와 TOC가 높아질수록 상승하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the variation of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus in $(AO)_2$ SBBR process according to the variation of operating cycle at the high TOC concentration. The operation time in anoxic (anaerobic) time to oxic time was 1:1. Three lab-scale SBBRS were fed with synthetic wastewater based on glucose as carbon source, The variation of total TOC removal was similar each other irrespective of operation time, however, the TOC concentrations in SBBRs showed a little difference according to the operating condition. In SBBR, complete nitrification was not occurred at all reactors, however, R3 showed a higher nitrification than R2. And in SBBR, the variation of operating time more affected at phosphorus removal than nitrogen removal. R2 which had the shortest time at the 1st aeration time showed the lowest phosphorus release and uptake efficacy.

To improve understanding of the physico-chemical characteristics of aerosols in the national park and comparing the air pollution between national park and the urban area nearby national park, the aerosol characterization study was conducted in Bukhansan National Park, Seoul, from July through September 2017. Semi-continuous measurements of $PM_{2.5}$ using PILS (Particle Into Liquid System) coupled with IC (Ion Chromatography) and TOC (Total Organic Carbon) analyzer allowed quantification of concentrations of major ionic species($Cl^-$, $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $Na^+$, $NH_4{^+}$, $K^+$, $Mg{^{2+}}$ and $Ca{^{2+}}$) and water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) with 30-minute time resolution. The total mass concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ was measured by T640 (Teledyne) with 5-minute time resolution. The black carbon (BC) and ozone were measured with a minute time resolution. The timeline of aerosol chemical compositions reveals a strong influence from urban area (Seoul) at the site in Bukhansan National Park. Inorganic aerosol composition was observed to be dominated by ammoniated sulfate at most times with ranging from $0.1{\sim}32.6{\mu}g/m^3$ (6.5~76.1% of total mass of $PM_{2.5}$). The concentration of ammonium nitrate, a potential indicator of the presence of local source, ranged from below detection limits to $20{\mu}g/m^3$ and was observed to be highest during times of maximum local urban (Seoul) impact. The total mass of $PM_{2.5}$ in Bukhansan National Park was observed to be 10~23% lower than the total mass of $PM_{2.5}$ in urban area (Gireum-dong and Bulgwang-dong, Seoul). In general, ozone concentration in Bukhansan National Park was observed to be similar or higher than urban sites in Seoul, suggesting additional biogenic VOCs with $NO_x$ from vehicle emission were to be precursors for ozone formation in Bukhansan National Park.

Total organic carbon (TOC) derived from organics is one of tile possible contamination in the reactor water system and causes of pH change and high conductivity levels. Measurements of total dissolved oxidizable carbon were carried out and its contribution to conductivities at elevated temperature was studied by using tile thermodynamic equilibrium analysis in carbonic acid system. The calculated conductivities were in good agreement with tile levels observed for tile formation of carbonic acid from salicylic acid solution.

This study was performed to evaluate the pollutants removal characteristics of two types of RBFs(Riverbank filtration, Riverbed filtration) intake facilities installed in Nakdong River and in Hwang River respectively. The capacity of each RBF is 45,000 m³/d for riverbank filtration intake facility and 3,500 m³/d for riverbed filtration intake facility. According to data collected in the riverbank filtration site, removal rate of each pollutant was about BOD(Biochemical Oxygen Demand) 52%, TOC(Total Organic Carbon) 57%, SS(Suspended Solids) 44%, Total coliforms 99% correspondingly. Furthermore, Microcystins(-LR,-YR,-RR) were not found in riverbank filtered water compared to surface water in Nakdong River. DOC(Dissolved Organic Carbon) and Humics which are precursors of disinfection byproduct were also reported to be removed about 59% for DOC, 65% for Humics. Based on data analysis in riverbed filtration site in Hwang River, removal rate of each contaminant reaches to BOD 33.3%, TOC 38.5%, SS 38.9%, DOC 22.2%, UV254 21.2%, Total coliforms 73.8% respectively. Additionally, microplastics were also inspected that there was no obvious removal rate in riverbed filtered water compared to surface water in Hwang River.
