난분해성 유기물과 암모니아성 질소의 동시제거를 위해 간헐폭기 생물활성탄 유동상법을 이용하여 고농도 유기물함유 침출수에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 간헐폭기시 고려되어야 하는 폭기 시간과 비폭기 시간에 대하여 실험적 검토를 수행하였고 자동컴퓨터제어 가능성에 대하여 고찰하여 보았다. 그 결과 생물활성탄 유동상 반응조에 충전한 활성탄의 물리적 흡착능은 초기의 처리효율에 크게 기여하였으며 간헐폭기 생물활성탄 유동상에 의한 침출수 처리시 정상상태에 도달하는 시간은 40일 정도이었고 TOC와 암모니아성 질소 처리시 양호한 프로세스임을 알 수 있었다. 폭기 및 비폭기시간은 60분 폭기/60분 비폭기의 조건이 30분 폭기/90분 비폭기에 비해 처리효율이 양호하게 나타났고 고농도 유기물함유 침출수 처리실험에서 간헐폭기 생물활성탄 유동상에 의한 처리방법은 높은 TOC제거율, 질산화율 및 탈질율, 난분해성 유기탄소 제거율을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 간헐폭기시 ORP 곡선의 변화에서 나타나는 굴곡점은 무산소상태의 종결점을 나타내는 파라메터로 이용가능하며 이를 간헐폭기 반응조의 최적 운전모드를 설정하는데 응용할 경우 소규모 자동화가 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was carried out to get more operational characteristics of Anoxic(anaerobic)-Oxic-Anoxic-Oxic $(AO)_2$ sequencing batch biofilm reactors (SBBRs) at the low TOC concentration, The operating time in anoxic (anaerobic) time to oxic time was I : I. Experiments were conducted to find the effects of the aeration time distribution on the organic matters and nutrients removal. Three lab-scale reactors were fed with synthetic wastewater based on glucose as carbon source. During studies, the operation mode was fixed. The first aeration time to the second aeration time in SBBR-I was 2 : 3, and those in SBBR-2 and SBBR-3 were I : 4 and 3 : 2, respectively. The organic removal efficiency didn't show large difference among three reactors of different aeration time distribution. However, from these study results, the optimum aeration time distribution in the first and the second aeration time for biological nutrient removal was shown as 3 : 2. The release of phosphorus was inhibited at the second non-aeration period because of the low TOC concentration and the nitrate produced by the nitrification at the first aeration period.

A submerged flat-sheet membrane separation system integrated with PAC (powdered activated carbon) was used in this research in order to investigate the effects of PAC on the efficiencies of operation and treatment and to evaluate the performance of the system. The experiments were carried out under operating conditions of a filtration rate of 0.38 m/d, water temperature of $20-28^{\circ}C$, and PAC dose of 0 g/L (Run-A) and 20 g/L (Run-B). The influent concentrations of TOC (total organic carbon), $NH_4{^+}-N$ (ammonia nitrogen) and $UV_{254}$ (UV absorbance at 254 nm) were 2.48 mg/L, 1.4 mg/L and 2.53 1/m, respectively. TOC removal of 43.2 and 73.6%, ammonia nitrogen removal of 4.9 and 15.9%, and $UV_{254}$ removal of 20.6 and 31.6% were obtained for Run-A and Run-B, respectively. During an experimental period of 33 days, no change was found in TMP (Run-B), but the TMP in Run-A increased by 5 kPa after 29 days. This research showed that the filtrate quality and the performance efficiency were enhanced when PAC was introduced into the filtration system.

The authors investigated the bacterial community attached to granular activated carbon(GAC) particles and the susceptibility of the community to chlorine disinfection. The study was carried out at the G Water Treatment Plant in Seoul, which was in full-scale operation. Bacteria attached to the surface of GAC increased gradually with treatment from $0.4{\times}106{\sim}8.5{\times}106 CFU/g$. TOC removal was under 1.0 mg/L due to increased bacterial community on the surface of GAC. It was found that TOC removal was closely related with physical and biological parameters such as pore volume and the number of attached bacteria. When the washed and the attached cells were disinfected with 1.0mg/L of chlorine for 1 hour, the washed cells with chlorination could be controlled, but the number of the attached cells increased gradually. The results suggest a possibility that the treatment and disinfection barriers can be penetrated and pathogenic bacteria may break into the drinking water supplying system.

Photocatalytic oxidation in the presence of Fe-doped, Zn-doped or Fe-Zn co-doped $TiO_2$ was used to effectively decompose humic acids (HAs) in water. The highest HAs removal efficiency (65.7%) was achieved in the presence of $500^{\circ}C$ calcined 0.0010% Fe-Zn co-doped $TiO_2$ with the Fe:Zn ratio of 3:2. The initial solution pH value, inorganic cations and anions also affected the catalyst photocatalytic ability. The HAs removal for the initial pH of 2 was the highest, and for the pH of 6 was the lowest. The photocatalytic oxidation of HAs was enhanced with the increase of the $Ca^{2+}$ or $Mg^{2+}$ concentration, and reduced when concentrations of some anions increased. The inhibition order of the anions on $TiO_2$ photocatalytic activities was $CO{_3}^{2-}$ > $HCO_3{^-}$ > $Cl^-$, but a slightly promotion was achieved when $SO{_4}^{2-}$ was added. Total organic carbon (TOC) removal was used to evaluate the actual HAs mineralization degree caused by the $500^{\circ}C$ calcined 0.0010% Fe-Zn (3:2) co-doped $TiO_2$. For tap water added with HAs, the $UV_{254}$ and TOC removal rates were 57.2% and 49.9%, respectively. The $UV_{254}$ removal efficiency was higher than that of TOC because of the generation of intermediates that could significantly reduce the $UV_{254}$, but not the TOC.

AT12)가 가장 높은 기질친화성을 나타내었다. 식품폐수 중의 암모니아성 질소 제거효율은 분리균주 FN47 (Microbacterium sp. FN47)의 처리구에서 71%의 제거율을 나타내었다. 실험실규모의 반응조에서 식품폐수를 이용한 연속배양 실험에서 활성슬러지만을 첨가한 경우 63% TOC제거효율을 나타내었으며, 폐수처리용 미생물제제 FIW-1을 첨가 시에는 92%의 제거효율을 나타내었다. 또한 폐수처리용 미생물제제 FIW-1의 폐수처리장 현장실험에서는 미생물제제 FIW-1을 투입한 초기 3일간의 유출수COD (chemical oxygen demand) 값은 43% 내외의 처리율을 나타내었으나, 5일이 경과하였을 때 유출수의 COD값은 62%의 처리효율을 나타내었다.

Pillared clays with Zr and Fe/Cu/Zr polycations have been prepared from natural clays found in large deposits of Kazakhstan and assessed as catalysts for the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO), using 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as model compound. The performance of the catalysts was followed by measuring the concentration of 4-NP, H₂O₂ and the total organic carbon (TOC), considering C_4-NP = 5 g L^-1, $C_{H_2O_2}$ = 17.8 g L^-1, C_cat = 2.5 g L^-1, initial pH = 3.0 and T = 50℃. At those selected conditions, the pillared clays showed higher activity than natural clays in the CWPO of 4-NP. The conversion of the model pollutant was complete when Fe/Cu/Zr-PILCs were used, with the TOC removal reaching 78.4% after 24 h with the best Fe/Cu/Zr-PILC. The H₂O₂, 4-NP and TOC time-evolution was well described by a kinetic model based on TOC lumps in three blocks, considering the initial TOC (corresponding to 4-NP), the production of oxidizable intermediates and the formation of refractory products.

This study was carried out for the purpose of industrial reuse of effluent released from activated sludge unit by $\gamma $-ray irradiation technique. The dissolved organic carbon in the effluent of an activated sludge unit is mostly refractory or inert material which are difficult to be degraded by micro organism. The effluent generated from activated sludge unit was irradiated with Co$^{60}$ $\gamma $-ray under condition of air bubbling. The effects of irradiation on the pH, COD, TOC, color, molecular weight distribution were investigated by membrane filtration and u.v.-spectrum analysis. With increasing dose, the TOC was decreased smoothly. The COD was increased at lower dose, while the COD was decreased at higher dose. The TOC and COD, however, were decreased smoothly when TiO$_{2}$ was added to the solution. It was thought that the differential decreasing trend of COD and TOC in according to the absence or presence of TiO$_{2}$ was due to the molecular weight distribution shifted from group of higher molecular weight to group of lower one which are more easy to be decomposed. The removal efficiency of color was 71.5% and it was increased to 85.7% when TiO$_{2}$ was added to the solution. The $\gamma $-ray irradiation was effective on the production of chlorine.

In this study, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), an endocrine disrupting chemical, was removed by ozone treatment processes under the various experimental conditions including UV irradiation, $TiO_2$ addition. The ozone flow rate and concentration were maintained at $1.0L{\cdot}min^{-1}$ and $70{\pm}5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The pH, COD and TOC of the samples were obtained every 10 minutes for 60 minutes in laboratory scale batch reactor. We found that the combination of UV irradiation and $TiO_2$ addition for ozonation improves the removal efficiency of COD and TOC in 4-NP aqueous solution. In case of the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ system, COD and TOC were greatly reduced to 85.3 ~ 94.0% and 89.2 ~ 97.2%, respectively. 4-NP degradation rate constants, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$, were calculated based on the COD and TOC values. Significantly, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were improved in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ treatment process compared with single $O_3$ process, because the oxidation and the mineralization of 4-NP were increased by generating of the hydroxyl radical. The $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were obtained to be $5.81{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}10.8{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ and $11.9{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}19.4{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ process. Activation energy ($E_a$) of ozone oxidation reaction based on $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were increased in order of $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ < $O3/UV$ < $O_3/TiO_2$ < $O_3$ process. It was confirmed that the addition of $TiO_2$ and UV irradiation to the ozone oxidation reaction significantly reduced the $E_a$ value and the degradation of 4-NP.
