Pharmaceutical wastewater effluents are well known for their difficult elimination by traditional biotreatment methods and their important contribution to environmental pollution due to its fluctuating and recalcitrant nature. OTC is one of the nonbiodegradable antibiotics that makes antibiotic-resistant, so it can make be high risk for environment. NZVI can be a good choice for removal of OTC in aqueous solution. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the amounts of NZVI and OTC to be used at pH 3 and under 200 W, UV-A irradiation. The responses were removal percent of absorption at 290 and 348 nm, TOC and COD of OTC. In the optimum condition, Linear model was performed 155 ppm of OTC were removed by 1000 ppm NZVI after 6.5 hours and the removal efficiency of absorption at 290 and 348 nm, TOC and COD were 87, 95, 85 and 89 percent, respectively. In the similar process, there is no organic compound after 14 hours. The parameters ORP, DO and pH were investigated for 6:30 hours to study the type of NZVI reaction in process. In the beginning of reaction, oxidation was the dominant reaction after 3 hours, photocatalytic reaction was remarkable. The mechanism of OTC degradation is proposed by HPLC/ESI-MS and four by products were found. Also the rate constants (first order kinetic chain reaction model) were 0.0099, 0.0021, 0.0010, 0.0049 and $0.0074min^{-1}$, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the partial oxidation of the biological treatment plant effluents using Fenton's reagent as a pretreatment step prior to a tertiary biological oxidation of these effluents. Fenton's reagent was evaluated as a pretreatment process for inhibitory or refractory organics. Based on the Fenton oxidation system, the petrochemical wastewater treatment plant effluent was shown to have significant improvement in toxicity after oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. For example, at ranee of 42 ∼ 184 mg/L COD of petrochemical plant effluents, the COD removal efficiencies were from 38.2% to 60.1% after reaction with hydrogen peroxide 200 mg/L and Fe2+ 100 mg/L and reaction time was 30 minutes. The total TOC reduction were about 15.8∼22.4% with same test condition and difference between the overall removal rate and BOD/COD ratio after Fenton's oxidation estabilished in the biodegradation and otherwise meets the discharge standard or reuse for cooling tower make-up water.

본 연구는 E-beam 공정을 통한 triclosan의 광분해에 대하여 조사하였다. 공정의 최적화는 실험계획법에 의한 회분식 실험을 통해 수행되었다. 실험계획법은 통계적 적용 방안의 하나로 각 인자간의 영향을 고려하기 위해 반응표면을 설계하는 방법이다. 반응은 triclosan의 제거율(%, $Y_1$)과 TOC 제거율(%, $Y_2$)로 적용되었고 두 개의 독립변수로서 triclosan의 농도를 "$x_1$", 조사강도를 "$x_2$"로 설계하였다. 코드화 된 인자에 대한 Triclosan 제거율과 TOC 제거율에 따른 회귀식은 각각 $Y_1=63-12.4335x_1+15.1835x_2+5.8125x{_1}^2-5.6875x{_2}^2-0.75x_1x_2(R^2=95.1%,\;R^2(Adj)=91.7%)$과 $Y_2=46-8.8462x_1+11.7175x_2-0.75x{_1}^2-6.25x{_2}^2(R^2=98.7%,\;R^2(Adj)=97.7%)$로 나타났다. $Y_1$과 $Y_2$에 대한 모델 예측식의 결정계수($R^2$)와 수정결정계수($R{^2}_{(Adj)}$)의 값이 90% 이상으로 나타나 실험적 관찰결과와 잘 부합하였다. 이러한 결과는 회귀모델이 E-beam 공정에서의 인자영향을 잘 설명하며 통계적 적용이 성공적으로 적용된 것으로 판단된다.

Laboratory scale experiments were conducted to compare the performance of two types of sequencing batch reactor(SBR) systems, anoxic-oxic-anoxic-oxic $((AO)_2)$ SBR and anoxic-oxic-anoxic $(A_2O)$ SBR on the biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Also, the profiles of DO and pH in reactors were used to monitor the biological nutrient removal in two SBRs. The break point in the pH and DO curves at the oxic period coincided with the end of nitrifying activity at about 1 h 30 min in oxic phase, and the change in pH appears to be related to nitrate concentration. The TOC removal efficiency in $A_2O$ SBR was higher than that in $(AO)_2$ SBR. The denitrification was completed at the influent period. The 2nd non-aeration and aeration periods were not necessary for the nitrogen and phosphorus removal because of the low influent TOC concentration in this study. The release and uptake of phosphorus in $AO_2$ SBR was much higher than that in $(AO)_2SBR.$ In order to uptake more phosphorus, the 1st aeration period in $A_2O$ SBR should be prolonged.

This study was carried out to compare the performance of two types of sequencing batch biofilm reactors (SBBRs), anoxic-oxic-anoxic-oxic $(AO)_2$ SBBR and anoxic-oxic-anoxic $A_2O$ SBBR, on the biological nutrient removal. The TOC removal efficiency in $A_2O$ SBBR was higher than that in $(AO)_2$ SBBR. At the 1st non-aeration period, the release of ${PO_4}^{3-}-P$ in $A_2O$ SBBR was higher than that in $(AO)_2$ SBBR because of the high TOC removal. At the 1st aeration-period, the nitrification was not completed in $(AO)_2$ SBBR, however, it was completed in $A_2O$ SBBR and the nitrification rate in $A_2O$ SBBR was higher than that in $(AO)_2$ SBBR. The release and uptake of ${PO_4}^{3-}-P$ in $A_2O$ SBBR was much higher than in $(AO)_2$ SBBR. Also, the profiles of DO and pH in reactors were used to monitor the biological nutrient removal in two SBBRs. The break point in DO and pH curves at the aeration period coincided with the end of nitrification.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of influent phosphorus concentration on the nitrogen and phosphorus removal in sequencing batch reactor(SBR) and sequencing batch biofilm reactors(SBBRs) in order to recover the enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) capacity at the sludge of the deterioration of EBPR capacity. In SBBRs, comparing to SBR, the organic removal was occurred actively at the 1 st non-aeration period because of the active phosphorus release at this period. However, the variation of TOC removal according to the decrease of influent phosphorus concentration was not clearly shown both in SBR and SBBRs. In case of SBR losing EBPR capacity, the EBPR capacity was not recovered by the decrease of the influent phosphorus concentration from 7.5 mg/L to 0.9 mg/L. The nitrogen removal increased by the decrease of influent phosphorus concentration both in SBR and SBBRs.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problems and the sources of defective products and draw improvement plans in a small plastic boat manufacturing process using TOC (Theory Of Constraints) and statistical analysis. TOC is a methodology to present a scheme for optimization of production process by finding the CCR (Capacity Constraints Resource) in the organization or the all production process through the concentration improvement activity. In this paper, we found and reformed constraints and bottlenecks in plastic boat manufacturing process in the target company for less defect ratio and production cost by applying DBR (Drum, Buffer, Rope) scheduling. And we set the threshold values for the critical process variables using statistical analysis. The result can be summarized as follows. First, CCRs in inventory control, material mix, and oven setting were found and solutions were suggested by applying DBR method. Second, the logical thinking process was utilized to find core conflict factors and draw solutions. Third, to specify the solution plan, experiment data were statistically analyzed. Data were collected from the daily journal addressing the details of 96 products such as temperature, humidity, duration and temperature of heating process, rotation speed, duration time of cooling, and the temperature of removal process. Basic statistics and logistic regression analysis were conducted with the defection as the dependent variable. Finally, critical values for major processes were proposed based on the analysis. This paper has a practical importance in contribution to the quality level of the target company through theoretical approach, TOC, and statistical analysis. However, limited number of data might depreciate the significance of the analysis and therefore it will be interesting further research direction to specify the significant manufacturing conditions across different products and processes.

엔도설판류(${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, sulfate)를 UV 및 초음파에너지를 조사하여 분해하였다. 물질의 분해과정은 가스크로마토그래프(GC)와 총유기탄소(TOC)를 분석하여 검토되었다. UV 원으로서 low pressure mercury multilamp(8Wx2)와 초음파발생기를 이용하였으며, 초기농도는 10 mg/L로 하였다. 단일성분에서의 실험결과 엔도설판류(${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, sulfate)의 UV 광분해도는 순서대로 48.2%, 50.0%, 76.5%였으며, 초음파를 이용한 분해에서는 각각 66.9%, 55.8%, 72.7%였다. 3성분 혼합용액에서는 단일성분용액의 분해효율과 달리 엔도설판-sulfate의 분해속도가 급감하여 가장 낮았고 엔도설판 -${\alpha}$, -${\beta}$들은 두드러진 차이를 보이지 않았다. 혼합용액에서 엔도설판-sulfate의 분해속도 감소로부터 엔도설판-${\alpha}$, -${\beta}$와 엔도설판-sulfate 사이의 낮은 평형상수값을 갖는 가역적 반응을 가정할 수 있었다. TOC 분석자료는 엔도설판류의 무기질화가 약 20%~40% 수준으로 진행되었음을 보여주며, 동시에 두 고도처리법이 라디칼분해반응을 유도하면서 상당한 분율의 중간산물을 생성함을 추정할 수 있었다. 또한 엔도설판류의 분해는 유기물 및 TOC 분석자료에 의거하면 모두 겉보기 1차 속도식과 잘 부합되었다.

Laboratory scale experiments were conducted to investigate the removal characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus by the variation of aeration time in four sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). In R1 which has the shortest aeration time as 1 h, MLVSS concentration in reactor decreased by the wash-out of biomass because of the poor sedimentation. The TOC removal efficiencies were almost similar in 3 reactors except R1. At the low aeration time as 1 h, the nitrification was severely inhibited by the deficiency of oxygen. ${NH_4}^+$-N removal efficiency was decreased by the decrease of aeration time. At the aeration time over 2 h, the phosphorus removal efficiency was not affected by the variation of aeration time. The nitrification was inhibited but the phosphorus release and uptake was not inhibited by the decrease of low aeration time. Therefore, we can see that the phosphorus removal microorganisms are superior to nitrification microorganisms in oxygen utilization.
