The objectives of this study is to examine efficiency of swinery wastewater treatment by trickling filters' pilot plant. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The characteristics of sample. The BOD$_5$ was from 2,450 to 2,880mg/l, COD(KMnO$_4$ acid method) was from 910 to 1,064mg/l, and SS was from 920 to 990mg/l. The pH of influent was from 7.3 to 7.6, and the temperature of water was from 17.0$\circ$C to 22.5$\circ$C. 2. For experiment by recirculation, the BODs removal efficiency is 65.2% at recirculation ratio (r)=0, and 70.7% at r=1. The ramoval efficiency of this study is higher than NRC formula of U.S.A.. The recirculation is not significant effect on removal efficiency. 3. For experiment by hydraulic load, the BOD$_5$ removal rate decreased from 73.1% at $3.1m^3/m^2\cdot d$ to 65.3% at $9.2m^3/m^2\cdot d$. The design formula of this study which shows the removal rate of soluble BOD is $Le/Li =10^{-0.24} D/Q^{0.24}$ (Q: hydraulic load, D: depth of filter). 4. For experiment by organic load, the BOD$_5$ removal rate is increased from 70.2% at $0.77kg/m^3\cdot d$ to 75.4% at $4.28kg/m^3\cdot d$. We can obtain the straight line y=0.749 x (y: removed BOD, x :applied BOD) by the least squares method. 5. We can know that trickling filters is strong with the hydraulic load and the organic matter shock load. Here, we can judge that trickling filters is a good method for the treatment of swinery wastewater which containing high concentrated organic matter.

Electrodialysis has been applied for treatment of industrial wastewater including metal electroplating. The wastewater from metal plating industries contains high concentrations of inorganics such as copper, nickel, and sodium. The ions in the feed were separated due to the electrical forces in the electrodialysis. The concentrate compartment is exposed to the elevated concentrations of the ions and yielded inorganic precipitations on the cation exchange membranes. The presence of organic matter in the metal plating wastewater affects complex interfacial reactions, which determines characteristics of inorganic scale fouling. The wastewater from a metal plating industry in practice was collected and the inorganic and organic compositions of the wastewater were analyzed. The performance of electrodialysis of the raw wastewater was evaluated and the effects of adjusting pH of the raw water were also measured. The integrated processes with neutralization and electrodialysis showed great removal of heavy metals sufficient to discharge to aquatic ecosystem. The organic matter in the raw water was also reduced by the neutralization, which might enhance removal performance and alleviate organic fouling in the integrated system.

The effects of the processing mixture of pig manure and various organic wastes on the growth, cast production of earthworm, and conversion of organic matter to earthworm tissues by vermicomposting. The substances used in this experiments were sawdust, rice hull, coffee waste, brewery waste, litters, turfgrass cutting residues, rice bran, vegetable wastes and rice straw and were mixed with pig manure at a ratios of 50:50 (v/v), and pig manure 100% (control), respectively. The highest values of growth parameters, cast production and conversion efficiency of organic matter to earthworm tissues were obtained at the mixtures of pig manure with coffee waste, it may due to the favourable diet conditions to process with pig manure by vermicomposting. But, all of the earthworm died in the pig manure 100% (control) and pig manure with vegetable wastes treatments by vermicomposting was impossible in this experiment. The vermicast contained a higher values of total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable cations and cation exchange capacity than their parent materials with increased availability of nutrients and improved physicochemical properties.

본 연구에서는 광촉매 반응과 막분리 기술을 접목시킨 혼성 고도 정수처리 공정에서 소독 부산물의 전구체로 알려진 자연산 유기물을 효과적으로 제거하고자 하였고 다양한 운전 조건에서 시스템의 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 자연산 유기물은 흡입여과 방식의 분리막과 TiO$_2$ 광촉매를 이용하여 광분해하였을 때 광촉매 투입량의 증가에 따라 반응속도가 증가하였지만 과량의 촉매 주입시에는 반응 속도 향상에 오히려 부정적으로 작용하였다. 자연산 유기물을 보다 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 산화철 주입, TiO$_2$ 표면처리, 분리막 표면코팅을 시도하여 제거특성 및 운전에 따른 막여과 특성을 평가하였다. 산화철 주입은 초기에 흡착작용으로 인해 제거율 증가를 보였으나 반응이 진행됨에 따라 산화철 입자에 의한 광산란으로 광분해 효율이 오히려 감소되었다. 산화철 입자에 의한 광산란을 제어하고자 TiO$_2$ 표면을 광처리와 열처리 방법을 이용해 철을 직접 부착시킨 경우 긍정적인 효과를 얻지 못했다. 그러나 산화철로 막표면을 코팅하여 광산란 효과를 배제시킨 경우에는 향상된 결과를 보였다 막투과 플럭스 15 L/$m^2$-h에서 정밀여과를 수행하였을 때 TiO$_2$나 산화철에 의한 막오염은 거의 일어나지 않았고 안정된 막투과도를 나타내었다.

A pilot scale SBR (effective volume, $20m^3$) for the treatment of piggery wastewater treatment was performed with three different kinds of wastewater; fermenter effluent, scraper type and slurry type. The react phase in SBR was performed by sub-cycle operation consisting of repeated short cycle of anoxic-aerobic step. The fermenter effluent was characterized by the rapid nitrification and $NO_X-N$ accumulation due to depletion of organic matter in wastewater. The scraper type wastewater showed appropriate nitrogen removal efficiency, however, a poor response capacity for high loading rate often resulted in increased nitrogen concentration in effluent. Moreover, severe P release was the most serious problem in scraper type wastewater. SBR treated slurry type wastewater with high nitrogen removal efficiency to satisfy effluent quality requirement. It was thought that high concentration of organic matter in slurry made it possible to uptake P during SBR operation, where P concentration of 140mgP/l was decreased to 8mgP/l. As results, SBR was suitable to treat slurry type wastewater which has been discharged to the ocean till now.

Monitoring of NOM characteristics is important for improving removal efficiency of natural organic matter (NOM) in water treatment processes. In this study, several NOM characteristics, which include specific UV absorbance (SUVA), total carbonate content, molecular weight distribution, and fluorescence properties, were measured using samples collected from a pilot-scale water treatment plant consisting of coagulation/flocculation (C/F), filtration, ozonation and granular activated carbon (GAC) processes. The highest removal of NOM was observed in C/F and filtration processes as demonstrated by the reduction of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by 25% and 21%, respectively. Despite nearly no change in DOC, however, the lowest SUVA value and the highest total carbohydrate content were observed in the sample from ozonation process. This indicates that non-degradable aromatic compounds become depleted and biodegradable organic compounds are enriched during the process. Comparison of synchronous fluorescence spectra of the samples showed that ozoation process increased protein-like fluorescence while it decreased fulvic-like and terrestrial humic-like fluorescence. Consistently, a slight peak of protein-like fluorescence was observed in the sample from ozonation process. The greatest change in molecular weight distributions of the samples was observed in C/F process. Comparison of size exclusion chromatogram of the samples revealed that NOM fractions with the molecular weight greater than 2000 Da were reduced by over 90% after C/F process. SUVA values and total carbohydrate content of the samples were well correlated with a ratio of protein-like fluorescence and terrestrial humic-like fluorescence intensities with the correlation coefficients of 0.99 and 0.91, respectively. This suggests that synchronous fluorescence properties of NOM could be used as useful tolls for monitoring changes of some NOM characteristics during water treatment processes.

탄질비가 다른 유기자재 시용이 토양중 무기태질소의 시기별 변화와 수수${\times}$수단그라스 교잡종의 질소이용률에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 2009년부터 2011년까지 수행되었다. 처리구는 질소함량 210kg/ha 수준으로 축분퇴비, 알팔파, 유박, 포함하였다. 유박은 가장 낮은 탄질비를 나타내었고, 축분퇴비는 3년 동안 가장 낮은 질소의 무기화가 관찰되었다. 토양 무기성분과 수수${\times}$수단그라스 교잡종의 건물중은 처리에 따라 일관성 있게 영향을 받지 않았고, 건물중은 재배기간인 5월부터 9월까지의 강수량과 부의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 화학비료는 2009년과 2010년에 질소이용률을 크게 증가시켰고, 축분퇴비는 3년간 가장 낮은 질소이용률을 보였다. 6월부터 8월까지의 강수량 증가는 퇴비로 처리된 수수${\times}$수단그라스 교잡종의 질소이용률을 다소 증가시켰으나 양분의 무기화가 빠른 화학비료는 반대의 양상이 관찰되었다. 본 시험에서는 유기자재의 탄질비 보다는 강수량의 변동이 클 때 작물의 건물중과 질소이용률에 영향을 끼치므로 이를 고려하여 밭토양에 시비를 해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

There are many previous review articles are available to summarize either the characterization methods of effluent organic matter (EfOM) or the individual control treatment options. However, there has been no attempt made to compare in parallel the physicochemical treatment options that target the removal of EfOM from biological treatments. This review deals with the recent progress on the characterization of EfOM and the novel technologies developed for EfOM treatment. Based on the publications after 2010, the advantages and the limitations of several popularly used analytical tools are discussed for EfOM characterization, which include UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance-mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). It is a recent trend to combine an SEC system with various types of detectors, because it can successfully track the chemical/functional composition of EfOM, which varies across a continuum of different molecular sizes. FT-ICR-MS is the most powerful tool to detect EfOM at molecular levels. However, it is noted that this method has rarely been utilized to understand the changes of EfOM in pre-treatment or post-treatment systems. Although membrane filtration is still the preferred method to treat EfOM before its discharge due to its high separation selectivity, the minimum requirements for additional chemicals, the ease of scaling up, and the continuous operation, recent advances in ion exchange and advanced oxidation processes are greatly noteworthy. Recent progress in the non-membrane technologies, which are based on novel materials, are expected to enhance the removal efficiency of EfOM and even make it feasible to selectively remove undesirable fractions/compounds from bulk EfOM.

This study analyzed the changes in the concentrations of the pollutants of constructed treatment wetlands which come from the discharge water of a sewage treatment plant. According to the results of budgets in constructed wetlands, the net production of the organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus were 368 kgC/month, 306 kgN/month and -49 kgP/month, respectively. The high particle form of pollutants are mostly removed due to settlement and absorption when passing through wetlands, but because a low processing efficiency for pollutants was shown when sewage treatment plant wastewater flows in, there is a need for a water management system that can reduce the organic matter load through monitoring. The low removal efficiency of constructed wetlands were caused by both structural and operational problems. Therefore, to enable to play a role as a reduction facility of pollutants, an appropriate design and operation manuals for constructed wetlands is urgently needed.

본 연구에서는 MBR 공정 내 폭기조에서 순산소 용해와 일반 공기 폭기의 효율에 대한 비교·평가를 통해 순산소의 MBR 공정 적용성에 대해 평가 하였다. 순산소 장치에 의한 유기물 및 암모니아 산화 여부에 대해 평가하였으며, 실폐수(음식물류 폐기물의 혐기성소화 유출수) 적용 과포화산소용해 효율 평가를 진행하였다. 순산소용해와 일반공기폭기 방법의 SCOD, 암모니아 제거율과 속도는 비슷하였다. 하지만, 순산소 용해에 의한 미생물 수율이 일반공기폭기법에 의한 미생물 수율보다 약 0.03 g MLSS-produced/g SCOD-removed 낮아 잉여슬러지 처리 비용이 감소될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 음식물류 폐기물의 혐기성 소화 유출수의 고농도 유기물 (4,000 mg/L) 및 암모니아 (1,400 mg/L)의 제거율을 순산소용해와 일반공기폭기법을 비교한 결과, 순산소 용해기가 일반공기폭기법에 비해 유기물 제거율이 약 13% 가량 더 높게 평가되었다. 또한, MLSS의 경우 일반공기폭기법이 순산소장치에 비해 0.3배가량 높았다. 이는, 순산소장치의 경우 폭기조 내에 용존산소가 충분히 유지, 공급되기 때문에 슬러지 자산화가 고도로 진행된 결과로 판단되었다. 따라서, 고농도 유기물을 함유한 폐수 처리를 위한 방법으로는 기존에 많이 사용되었던 일반공기폭기법보다 순산소장치를 활용하는 것이 경제적인 면에서 더 유리할 것으로 판단되었다.
