Chlorella kessleri cultivated in artificial wastewater using diurnal illumination of 12h light/12h dark (L/D) cycles. The inoculum density was 10(sup)5 cells/mL and the irradiance in light cycle was 45$\mu$mol㎡s(sup)-1 at the culture surface. As a control culture, another set of flasks was cultivated under continuous illumination. Regardless of the illumination scheme, the total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was reduced below 20% of the initial concentration within a day. However, cell concentration under the L/D lighting scheme was lower tan that under the continuous illuminating scheme. Thus the specific removal rate of organic carbon under L/D cycles was higher than that under continuous illumination. This result suggested that C. kessleri grew chemoorganotrophically in the dark periods. After 3 days, nitrate was reduced to 136.5 and 154.1mg NO$_3$-N/L from 168.1mg NO$_3$-N/L under continuous illumination and under diurnal cycles, respectively. These results indicate nitrate removal efficiency under continuous light was better than that under diurnal cycles. High-density algal cultures using optimized photobioreactors with diurnal cycles will save energy and improve organic carbon sources removal.

This study was carried out to examine degradation characteristics of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris in methane fermentation. We measured COD and VS reduction, gas and methane productivity, VFA (volatile fatty acid), respectively. Then we calculated material balance and hydrolysis rates in soluble and solid material. The substrate concentration was controlled from 14 gCOD$_{cr}$/l to 64 gCOD$_{cr}$/l in batch cultures, and HRT (hydraulic retention time) controlled from 2 days to 30 days in continuous experi- ments. The results were as follows. In batch culture, accumulated gas productivity increased with the increase of the substrate concentration. The SS and VSS was removed all about 30% increase of substrate concentration and the most of the degradable material removed during the first 10 days. The curve of gas and methane production rate straightly increased until substrate concentration is 26 gCOD$_{cr}$/l. In continuous culture experiments, the removal rates at HRT 10days were 20% for total COD and TOC, respectively. At longer HRT, there was no increase in the removal efficiency. At HRT 15 days, the removal rates were 30% for SS and VSS, respectively. Soluble organic materials were rapidly degraded, and so there was no accumulated. Soluble COD concentration was not increase regardless of HRT-increasing. That meaned the hydrolysis was one of the rate-limiting stage of methane fermentation. The first-order rate constants of hydrolysis were 0.23-0.28 day$^{-1}$ for VSS, and 0.07-0.08 day$^{-1}$ for COD.

Among many microalgae cultivation types, heterotrophic culture with low cost carbon sources and energy saving culture method is crucial. A result of estimating the effects of pH on wastewater treatment using heterotrophic growing microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana shows that there was no difference in microalgae growth amount and nitrogen, phosphorus removal rate by wide range of pH(5 ~ 9). From pH 5 to 9, total nitrogen, phosphorous and glucose removal rates were 10.5 mg-N/L/d, 2 mg-P/L/d, 800 ~ 1000 mg/L respectively. This study reveals that C. sorokiniana cannot metabolite glycerol heterotrophically, however, glucose and acetate were proper carbon sources for growth and T-N, T-P and TOC removal. This research highlights the potential of heterotrophic microalgal growth with wastewater treatment plant with wide range of pH and carbon sources.

본 연구는 오존 단독, UV 단독 및 오존/UV 혼합 공정을 이용하여 DEP의 제거 특성을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 실험 결과로서, 오존/UV 공정에서 가장 높은 제거 효율을 나타냈다. 오존 및 오존/UV 공정에서 DEP의 분해 경로를 파악하기 위해서 pH 변화 및 OH 라디칼($OH^{\circ}$) scavenger 첨가 유무에 따른 제거 정도를 비교하였다. 그 결과, DEP 분해 시 $OH^{\circ}$과의 반응이 주된 반응이며, 오존에 의한 직접 산화 반응 및 UV에 의한 광분해 반응은 무시할 정도로 작았다. 오존 및 오존/UV 공정에서 DEP의 의사일차속도상수를 비교하였을 때, 오존/UV 공정은 일차속도에 잘 일치한 반면 오존 단독 공정에서는 일차속도로 제거되는 경향이 초기에 빠르고 일정한 반응시간 이후에 느려지는 두 영역으로 나뉘어 나타났다. 오존 및 오존/UV 긍정에 의해 생성되는 DEP 산화 부산물을 간접적으로 확인하기 위해 HPLC 스펙트럼을 조사한 결과 미지의 물질이 검출되었으며, 반응시간에 따라 이 물질이 생성되다가 감소하는 일정한 경향을 보였다. 또한, 오존/UV 혼합공정에서 높은 TOC 제거율을 나타내 DEP 및 DEP 산화부산물까지 완전 산화됨을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to remove the color in dyeing wastewater by ozone oxidation process, and the results were summarized as follows ; The 18.3％ of BOD and 56.3％ TOC were removed as decreasing with pH 1 in dyeing wastewater, containing the polyester reducing process. It showed that terephthalic acid was precipitated at low pH. The color of dyeing wastewater was removed by the first order reaction, and the reaction rate constants at pH 3, 7, 12 were investigated $0.234{\;}min^{-1},{\;}0.215{\;}min^{-1}{\;}and{\;}0.201{\;}min^{-1}$ respectively. It showed that color was more effectively removed with direct reaction of ozone than radical reaction(non-direct reaction). As increasing of the water temperature, the reaction rate constants were increased slightly. It indicated that activity of ozone was improved at high water temperature.

To treat certain wastewater that has alcohol and phenol, we performed the ozone electrolysis by using the titanium electrode. In this experiment, we examined decomposition voltage of organics, time for electrolysis, and removal efficiency of organics. In addition we compared the ozone oxidation electrolysis. The followings are results; 1. When it comes to the alcohol treatment in wastewater, ozone electrolysis showed higher removal efficiency than ozone oxidation or electrolysis. 2. After comparing the decomposition rate of methylalcohol, ethylalcohol, and prophylalcohol in ozone electrolysis, we knew the fact that increasing carbon number made the decomposition rate slow. 3. According to the treatment of alcohol by ozone electrolysis, decomposition voltage was 50V, time for electrolysis was three hours, and treatment acidity was neutral (pH 6.5 - 8.1). 4. Ozone electrolysis was effective to the phenol treatment. When we treated phenol by using ozone electrolysis for three hours, TOC treatment efficiency was 95%. However, ozone oxidation just showed 45% treatment efficiency.

Advanced oxidation processes involving $O_3/H_2O_2$ and $O_3/catalyst$ were used to compare the degradability and the effect of pH on the oxidation of 1,4-dioxane, Oxidation processes were carried out in a bubble column reactor under different pH. Initial hydrogen peroxide concentration was 3.52 mM in $O_3/H_2O_2$ process and 115 g/L (0.65 wt.%) of activated carbon impregnated with palladium was packed in $O_3/catalyst$ column. 1,4-dioxane concentration was reduced steadily with reaction time in $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation process, however, in case of $O_3/catalyst$ process, about $50{\sim}75%$ of 1,4-dioxane was degraded only in 5 minutes after reaction. Overall reaction efficiency of $O_3/catalyst$ was also higher than that of $O_3/H_2O_2$ process. TOC and $COD_{cr}$ were analyzed in order to examine the oxidation characteristics with $O_3/H_2O_2\;and\;O_3/catalyst$ process. The results of $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency and ${\Delta}TOC/{\Delta}ThOC$ ratio in $O_3/catalyst$ process gave that this process could more proceed the oxidation reaction than $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation process. Therefore, it was considered that $O_3/catalyst$ advanced oxidation process could be used as a effective oxidation process for removing non-degradable toxic organic materials.

오존-활성탄 복합공정에 의한 페놀제거 특성과 그에 미치는 운전변수의 영향에 관해 회분식 실험을 통하여 동력학적 연구를 수행하였다. 활성탄은 오존의 자가분해를 촉진시켜 $OH{\cdot}$ 발생시키므로 페놀분해 속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 활성탄의 투입량이 증가함에 따라 페놀분해 반응의 유사 일차반응 속도상수가 증가하고 페놀제거의 반감기가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 수용액의 pH 증가는 수산화이온이 개시하는 오존분해의 연쇄반응에 의해 $OH{\cdot}$를 생성시키므로 페놀분해 속도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 페놀의 완전산화 지표인 총유기탄소(TOC) 제거효율은 활성탄을 투입할 때 투입하지 않은 조건보다 약 3.2배 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 휴믹산 농도, 초기 pH 그리고 공기주입유량과 같은 실험인자가 오존/페록시라디칼 반응시스템의 처리효율에 미치는 영향과 연속 처리을 통한 시스템의 처리 특성을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 오존과 페록시라디칼을 조합한 시스템의 처리효율은 각각의 단독공정에 비해 더 높은 색도 제거효율을 나타내었다. 초기 휴믹산 농도가 증가할수록 처리효율이 증가했지만 초기 휴믹산 농도 30mg/L 이상에서는 오히려 처리효율이 감소한 결과를 나타냈고 초기 pH의 경우 산성영역에서 보다는 중성과 알카리성 영역에서 휴믹산 제거효율이 더 높았으며 공기주입유량이 증가할수록 시스템의 처리효율이 증가하였다. Pilot-scale 시스템을 실제 정수장 유입수에 적용시킨 결과, TOC와 $COD_{Cr}$에 대한 각각의 평균 제거율은 약 70%와 60%로 나타나 수중 난분해성 유기물 제거를 위한 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

오존/활성탄 공정을 이용하여 페놀을 처리 할 경우, 활성탄에 의해 나타나는 촉매효과에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 오존 단독공정에 활성탄을 추가할 경우, 활성탄 투입량이 증가할수록 용존 오존 및 페놀의 분해효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 활성탄에 의해서 용존 오존이 분해되어 생성된 수산화 라디칼이 페놀 제거에 영향을 미쳤으며, 본 연구에서는 활성탄의 촉매효과([$\Delta$phenol] / $[{\Delta}O_{3}]_{AC}$)로 나타내었다. 활성탄 10~40 g/L 투입 시, 모든 활성탄의 최대 촉매효과 값은 $2.0\;{\pm}\;0.1$로 나타났지만, 10 g/L와 20 g/L를 투입한 경우, 40 min 경과 후 최대 촉매효과에 근접한 반면, 활성탄 30 g/L와 40 g/L를 투입한 경우, 반응 20 min 경과 후 최대 촉매효과에 도달하였다. 또한 Total Organic Carbon (TOC, 총유기탄소)의 제거율은 오존 단독공정에서 0.23으로 나타났으며, 오존/활성탄 공정에서는 0.63으로 나타났다.
