This study aimed to evaluate changes in the TN and TP removal efficiencies, depending on whether or not a settling process is applied, in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process with a membrane bioreactor (MBR). Nutrient removal was considered in terms of developing an advanced water treatment system for ships in accordance with water quality standards set forth by 227(64). For these purposes, the TN and TP concentrations in the inflow and outflow water were measured to calculate the TN and TP removal efficiencies, depending on whether or not a settling process was used. Water discharged from a bathroom, which was constructed for the experiment, was used as the raw water. The experiment that included a settling process was conducted twice, and the operating conditions were: aeration for 90 min, settling for 30 min, agitation for 15 min, and settling for 15 min for one experiment; and aeration for 150 min, settling for 45 min, agitation for 15 min, and settling for 15 min in the other. Operating conditions for the experiment that did not include a settling process were: aeration for 180 min and agitation for 60 min. The concentration of the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) in the reactor was 3,500 mg/L, while the aeration rate was 121 L/min and the water production rate was 1.5 L/min. For the two experiments where a settling process was applied, the average TN removal efficiencies were 44.39% and 41.05%, and the average TP removal efficiencies were 47.85% and 46.04%. For the experiment in which a settling process was not applied, the average TN removal efficiency was 65.51%, and the average TP removal efficiency was 52.51%. Although the final nutrient levels did not satisfy the water quality standards of MEPC 227(64), the TN and TP removal efficiencies were higher when a settling process was not applied.

본 연구에서는 오존을 이용하여 축산폐수를 전처리하고 일반하수와 연계하여 처리하였을 때 처리효율을 실험실 규모의 장치를 이용하여 비교 분석하였으며 결과는 다음과 같다. 축산폐수의 오존산화 결과 대상폐수의 pH를 산성(pH4), 중성(pH7), 알칼리성(pH10)으로 변화시켰을 때 각각 COD제거율은 시간당 17%, 78%, 62% 로 분석되었다. 오존산화에 의해 NBDCOD 중 일부가 미생물이 분해가능한 BDCOD 로 전환되어 SCODcr/TCODcr 비는 26%에서 약 38%로 증가하였다. 따라서, 오존산화에 의한 축산폐수의 전처리는 난분해성 물질을 생물학적 분해 가능한 물질로 일부 전환시키며 후단 생물학적 처리 단계에서의 제거효율을 높일 수 있는 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 오존산화처리된 축산폐수와 하수와의 연계유입수를 MLE(Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) 공정으로 처리한 결과, 내부반송 100%일 때 TCODcr 93.8%, T-N 74.3%, T-P 89.7%, SS 97.5%의 처리효율을 나타냈다. 또한 내부반송율을 150%로 증가시켰을 때 처리효율은 각각 94.5%, 54.5%, 70.8%, 98.5% 로 나타났고, 200%로 증가시켰을 때 처리효율은 각각 92.6%, 83.1%, 81.9%, 98.5% 로 나타났다. 연계유입수를 원수로 사용한 경우 특히 질소제거율은 내부반송율 100%, 150%, 200%에서 각각 74.3%, 54.5%, 83.1%로 나타났으며, 모든 경우에 있어 일반하수를 원수로 사용한 경우보다 질소제거율이 우수한 것으로 분석되었다.

Water reuse of effluent is limited, due to bacteria and chromaticity or turbidity which may result in low perception of water quality. Consequently, this study showed a method in the reuse of treated wastewater by a diversified treatment method, with separation of centralized reformation of aeration tank into pre-treatment with minimum installation of facilities, and post-treatment, applying advanced oxidation treatment. A pilot plant experiment was performed using Sym-Bio process adopting an NADH Sensor without modification of the exiting aeration tank. The Dissolved Ozone Flotation process, which is an advanced oxidation process, to treat the remaining organics, nutrients, chromaticity, turbidity and bacteria. As a result in the Sym-Bio process, the biological treatment, even on the condition of single stage reaction tank, the treatment efficiencies of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, SS and T-N were 96.6%, 84.6%, 88.25%, 95.1% and 71.0%, respectively, while that for T-P was 25.0%, which required further treatment. In the Dissolved Ozone Flotation process, the advanced oxidation treatment, the treatment efficiencies of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, $COD_{Cr}$, SS, T-N, T-P, chromaticity, turbidity, bacteria, coliforms were 78.9%, 34.6%, 28.7%, 48.0%, 70.4%, 82.4%, 84.0%, 74.5%, 99.8% and 99.4%, respectively.

고밀도 순환여과식 해산어 양식장의 순환수 처리에 EMMC공정의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 처리공정의 운전효율에 유기물 및 암모니아성 질소 부하가 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 수리학적 체류기간을 12시간에서 10분까지 점차적으로 줄여가며 실험을 실시하였다. HRT 2시간까지는 수리학적 체류시간 변화에 따른 제거효율 변화가 거의 없었으나 그 이하의 체류시간에서는 체류시간 단축에 따른 제거효율의 감소가 비교적 크게 나타났다. COD의 경우에는 체류시간 단축에 따른 급격한 제거효율의 변화가 관측되지 않았으며 10분 정도의 체류시간에서도 90％이상의 제거효율을 나타내었다. 메디아 충진율에 따른 반응조 운전효율변화를 보면 HRT가 1시간보다 긴 경우에는 메디아 충진율에 따른 제거효율 변화가 극히 미미하였다. 그러나 1시간 이하의 체류시간에서는 그 차가 상당히 크게 나타나 충진량이 많을수록 제거효율이 높게 나타났으나 50％이상의 메디아 충진이 반응조 운전효율 측면에서는 큰 역할을 하지 못함을 나타내어 경제성 등을 고려할 경우 25％정도만을 충진 시키는 것이 오히려 합리적이라 판단되었다. 이와 같은 경향은 암모니아성 질소 제거의 경우에도 유사한 양상을 나타내었다. 메디아 충진율 50％와 75％사이에는 처리효율의 차이가 거의 없었고 25％충진 반응조와의 차이도 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the filtration efficiencies and pressure drops of five commercial cloth masks (4 plate type, 1 cup type) in comparison to the performance of a class 1 disposable respirator (reference respirator). A further objective was to evaluate the effects of the number of layers and wash treatment independently on filtration efficiencies and pressure drops. Methods: Polydisperse NaCl aerosols were generated in an aerosol chamber and their concentrations were measured by an optical particle counter (OPC) in the size range of $0.3{\sim}10{\mu}m$ (five channels). Results: The filtration efficiencies of the five cloth masks and the reference respirator were D: 9.5%, C: 18.5%, E: 23.6%, A: 28.5%, B: 29.7% and R: 91.1%, respectively, and the pressure drops through them were C, D: 0.8 Pa, E: 1.7 Pa, B: 6.4 Pa, A: 42.7 Pa and R: 19.3 Pa, respectively. The filtration efficiencies of the cloth masks and reference respirator were below the class 1 respirator criterion (${\geq}94.0%$) of the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) and Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). The pressure drops satisfied the class 1 respirator criterion (${\leq}70Pa$) of MOEL and MFDS. When the cloth masks were folded into two and four layers, the filtration efficiencies of cloth masks A, B, C, D (plate type) increased 1.7-4.6 times, and 2.3-6.8 times, respectively, compared to the efficiencies of the same products in a single layer. Pressure drops increased as the number of layers was increased. The filtration efficiency of cloth mask E with a liner was 1.3 times higher than that of the same mask without a liner, and the pressure drop was lower in the no-liner configuration. After a single washing, the filtration efficiencies of all the cloth mask products decreased 1.04-4.0 times compared to those of the same products intact. For the cloth masks C and E, their filtration efficiencies were significantly decreased after washing (p<0.05). The pressure drops of all cloth masks were 1.2-2.0 times lower after washing. Conclusions: The filtration efficiencies of the five cloth masks were below 30% and did not improve greatly by increasing the number of layers. After a single washing, their performances decreased. Considering the above and other issues identified with cloth masks, such as poor fit and stretched fibers through use, people should not expect protection against particulate matters from the cloth masks on the market.

The objectives of this paper are the characterization of the pretreatment of wastewater by microfiltration (MF) membranes for river maintenance and water recycling. This is done by investigation of the proper coagulation conditions, such as the types and doses of coagulants, mixing conditions (velocity gradients and mixing periods), pH, etc., using jar tests. The effluent water from a pore control fiber (PCF) filter located after the secondary clarifier at Kang-byeon Sewage Treatment Plant (K-STP) was used in these experiments. Two established coagulants, aluminum sulfate (Alum) and poly aluminum chloride (PAC), which are commonly used in sewage treatment plants to treat drinking water, were used in this research. The results indicate that the optimal coagulation velocity gradients (G) and agitation period (T) for both Alum and PAC were 200-250 $s^{-1}$ and 5 min respectively, but the coagulation efficiencies for both Alum and PAC were lower at low values of G and T. For a 60 min filtration period on the MF, the flux efficiencies ($J/J_0$ (%)) at the K-STP effluent that were coagulated by PAC and Alum were 92.9 % and 79.9 %, respectively, under the same coagulation conditions. It is concluded that an enhanced membrane process is possible by effective filtration of effluent at the K-STP using the coagulation-membrane separation process.

The objectives of this study were to find out the optimum treatment conditions for removing nitrogen in a synthetic wastewater by using microorganisms immobilized with PVA-Freezing method. The samples used as influents to the laboratory scale treatment units were a synthetic wastewater. The experiments in this study were mainly directed to collect the data of nitrogen and organic matter removal efficiencies for the different hydraulic and internal recycle rates conditions, temperature and influent C/N ratios. The removal efficiencies of nitrogen and organic matters were investigated for the operating conditions of HRT 2~12hours, internal recycle rates 50~400%, temperatures $15{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and C/N ratios 2.5~7.5. The adequate internal recycle rate for removing T-N and $BOD_5$ in the synthetic wastewater was found to be about 300% at the temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ when the ratio of carbon contents to the nitrogen (C/N) in the influent was around 5.5. Under these conditions, the final effluent concentrations of T-N and $BOD_5$ were 8.7 and 8.4 mg/l, respectively.

Treatability tests were conducted using EMC process to study the feasibility of applying this process as recycling-water treatment system in high density seawater aquaculture farm. To study the effect of organic and ammonia nitrogen loading on system performance, hydraulic retention time of reactor was reduced gradually from 12hr to 10min. The conclusions are can be summarized as follows. When the system HRT was reduced from 12hr to 10 min gradually, there was little noticeable change(reduction) in ammonia nitrogen removal efficiencies until 2hr of HRT, however, removal efficiencies were decreased dramatically when the system was operated under the HRT of less than 2hr. In case of organics(COD), there was no dramatic deterioration in removal efficiencies depending on HRT reduction. More than 90% of removal efficiencies were maintained successfully when the system was operated at the HRT of 10 min. In case of system performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor, there was little difference in each reactor performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor when the reactors were operated under the HRT of longer than 1hr, however, differences in reactor performances were considerably evident when the reactors were operated under the HRT of shorter than 1hr. That is, the more reactor was packed, the better reactor performed. When comparing reactor performance among 25%, 50%, 75% packed reactor, it can be judged that media packing ratio more than 50% plays no significant role in increasing reactor performance. For this reason, packing the media less than 50% is more reasonable way in view of economic. Such a tendency well agreed with the variation of ammonia-nitrogen removal efficiencies according to the media packing ratio in reactors at each HRT. Difference in effluent ammonia-nitrogen concentration between 50% media packing reactor and 75% media packing reactor was negligible. When comparing with the results of 25% packing reactor, difference was not so great.

The application rates were 0, 30, 60,90 and 120 kg N/ha/cut, the cutting regimes 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-cuts/year. In order to explain the nitrogen-profitability were determined that 1 kg pure mineral nitrogen have to produce 8 - 16 kg DM/kg N in dependence on cutting regimes and requiring of nitrogen efficiencies. The results were as follows: 1. With only PK-fertilizaing average dry matter yields from 4.0 to 7.6 tons per ha and year were obtained. 2. Within all applied cutting regimes 60 kg min. Nlhalgrowth have proved to be the most efficient application rate witn 13 - 24 kg DM/kg N in dependent of cutting regimes. Comapred with only PK-treatment the DM yields increased by 3.9 - 4.7 t/ ha nad year. 3. By the sigmaformed process of Input-Output curve the highest marginal yield (the "most efficient" Ndressing rate) per ha and year was calculated: 152 kg N at 3-cut regimes, 204 kg N at 4-cut regimes, 220 kg N at 5-cut regimes and 240 kg N/ha/year at 6-cut regimes. 4. With required efficiencies of 16 and 12 kg DM/kg N 240 - 300 kg N per ha and year respectively would have to be applied at 3-cut regimes; with required efficiencies of 12 and 10 kg DM/kg N at 4-cut regimes the appropriate figures ranged from 320 to 420 kg N/ha and year, at 5- and 6-cut regimes and efficiencies of 10 and 8 kg DM/kg N results of 360 - 460 kg N and 380 - 500 kg N respectively were obtained. 5. At the relatively dry location Piber the highest dressing rates were needed in order to obtain the efficiencies from 8 to 16 kg DM/kg N, about 30 - 60 kg N/ha/year more than at the relatively moist location Admont.ist location Admont.

고도정수처리를 위한 관형 세라믹 정밀여과와 이산화티타늄($TiO_2$) 광촉매 첨가 PES (polyethersulfone) 구의 혼성공정에서 질소 역세척 주기(FT)와 시간(BT)의 최적운전조건을 막오염에 의한 저항($R_f$) 및 투과선속(J), 총여과부피($V_T$)의 관점에서 고찰하였다. FT가 짧고 BT가 길수록, $R_f$는 감소하고 J가 증가하여 결국 FT 10분과 BT 30초에서 최대 $V_T$를 얻었다. $F_T$ 영향 실험 결과 NBF (no back-flushing)에서 막오염이 급격히 진행되어 탁도 및 용존유기물의 처리효율이 가장 높게 나타났다. BT 영향 결과에서는, FT 실험과는 다르게 BT 30초에서 최대 처리효율을 보였다. 결과적으로 FT가 감소하고 BT가 증가할수록 광촉매 첨가 구의 세척이 효율적으로 일어나, 탁도 처리효율은 FT가 짧을수록 95.4%에서 97.5%로, BT가 길수록 95.9%에서 98.5%로 다소 증가하였다. 또한 유기물 처리효율은 FT가 짧을수록 70.8%에서 80.6%로, BT가 길수록 75.1%에서 85.8%로 증가하였다. 본 실험 범위에서 처리효율과 $V_T$가 최대인 최적 질소 역세척 조건은 FT 10분과 BT 30초로 판단된다.
