Anammox (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation) bacteria is recently discovered microorganism which can oxidize ammonium to nitrogen gas in the presence of nitrite under anaerobic conditions. The anammox process can save an energy for nitrification and need not require a carbon source for denitrification, however, the start-up periods takes a long time more than several months due to the long doubling time (approximately 11 days). In order to find the effects of seeding microorganisms, hydrazine, and nitrite concentration on the enhancement of the anammox activity, five kinds of microorganisms were selected. Among the several kinds of seeding microorganisms, the granule from acclimated microorganisms treating high concentration of ammonia nitrogen (A-1) and sludge from piggery wastewater treatment plant (A-2) were found to have a high anammox activity. In the case of A-1, the maximum nitrogen conversion rate represented 0.4 mg N/L-hr, and the amount of nitrite utilization was high compared to those of other seeding microorganisms. The A-4 represented a higher nitrogen conversion rate to 0.7 mg N/L-hr although the ammonium concentration in the serum bottle was high as 200 mg/L. Meanwhile, the anaerobic granule from UASB reactor treating distillery wastewater showed a low anammox activity due to the denitrification by the remained carbon sources in the granule. Hydrazine, intermediate product in anammox reaction, enhanced the anammox activity by representing 1.4 times of nitrogen gas was produced in the test bottle than that of control, when 0.4 mM of $N_2H_4$ was added to serum bottle which contains 5 mM of nitrite. The high concentration of nitrite (10 mM) resulted in the decrease of the anammox activity by showing lower production of nitrogen gas compared to that of 5 mM addition of nitrite concentration. As a result of FISH (Florescence In-Situ Hybridization) experiment, the Amx820 probe showed a more than 13% of anammox bacteria in a granule (A-1).

The characteristics of disinfection and organic removal were investigated with pulse UV lamp in this study. The intensity and emission wavelength of pulse UV Lamp were compared with low pressure UV lamp. The emission spectrum range of pulse UV lamp was between 200 and 400 nm while the emission spectrum of low pressure UV lamp was only single wavelength of 254nm. 3 Log inactivation rate of B. subtilis spore by pulse UV and low pressure UV irradiation was determined as $44.71mJ/cm^2$ and $57.7mJ/cm^2$, respectively. This results implied that wide range of emission spectrum is more effective compared to single wavelength emission at 254nm. 500ng/L of initial 2-MIB concentration was investigated on the removal efficiency by UV only and $UV/H_2O_2$ process. The removal efficiency of UV only process achieved approximately 80% at $8,600mJ/cm^2$ dose. 2-MIB removal rate of $UV/H_2O_2$ (5 mg/L $H_2O_2$) process was 25 times increased compared to UV only process. DOC removal efficiency for the water treatment plant effluent was examined. The removal efficiency of DOC by UV and $UV/H_2O_2$ was no more than 20%. Removal efficiency of THMFP(Trihalomethane Formation Potential), one of the chlorination disinfection by-products, is determined on the UV irradiation and $UV/H_2O_2$ process. Maximum removal efficiency of THMFP was approximately 23%. This result indicates that more stable chemical structures of NOM(Natural Organic Matter) than low molecule compounds such as 2-MIB, hydrogen peroxide and other pollutants affect low removal efficiency for UV photolysis. Consequently, pulse UV lamp is more efficient compared to low pressure lamp in terms of disinfection due to it's broad wavelength emission of UV. Additional effect of pulse UV is to take place the reactions of both direct photolysis to remove micro organics and disinfection simultaneously. It is also expected that hydrogen peroxide enable to enhance the oxidation efficiency on the pulse UV irradiation due to formation of OH radical.

혐기성 소화에서 미생물에 저해/독성 물질로 알려진 암모니아의 농도와 식종원에 따른 영향을 회분식 반응기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 식종원은 고농도의 암모니아에 장기간 적응된 축산농가 축산폐수 집수조의 슬러지 그리고 저농도의 암모니아에 노출된 하수종말처리장 혐기성 소화조 슬러지를 사용하였다. 식종원에 상관없이 암모니아는 TAN 1,500 mg-N/L에서 COD 제거율과 biogas 발생량으로 측정된 혐기성 미생물의 활성에 저해영향을 주기 시작하여 3,500 mg-N/L에서는 더욱 심하였다. 암모니아 저해 농도 범위에서 휘발성 유기산의 농도는 50 mg/L 범위로 유지되므로 메탄생성균 뿐만 아니라 산생성균도 저해영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 축산폐수 집수조 슬러지로 식종된 경우 암모니아 농도 TAN으로 $2,500{\sim}3,500\;mg-N/L$ 범위에서도 COD 제거율과 biogas 발생량의 감소폭은 미미하였으나 하수종말처리장 혐기성 소화조 슬러지로 식종된 경우 암모니아 농도가 증가할수록 COD 제거율과 biogas 발생량은 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 결과적으로 암모니아에 장기간 순응된 슬러지로 식종한 경우 암모니아의 저해 농도에 대하여 적응도 빨랐으며 저해영향도 적었다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the grit removal efficiency of tornado block-type vortex grit separator. Vortex grit separator was manufactured for this study, and it was characterized by the impeller and tornado block installed in separator. Impeller was installed to increase water velocity in the separator and tornado block was installed to increase the grit lifting efficiency. Pilot study was also conducted in A sewage treatment plant (STP) in Gyeonggi province from November 2003 to May 2004 (64 days). Major findings are as follows. 1. Impeller was proven to increase water velocity in the grit separator, especially in low flow rate. This influence will increase separation ratio of organics from grits, preventing those organics from sedimentation. 2. Sand (with 0.2~0.3mm size) removal efficiency was over 98 % and 96 %, at the flow rate of $500m^3/day$ and $750m^3/day$ under the condition that impeller rotation velocity kept at 15 rpm. Originally that grit separator was designed to have the capacity of $500m^3/day$. $750m^3/day$ was tried to investigate the performance of this type of grit separator under overload condition. Stable grit removal was still available to the extent of 150% of designed capacity. 3. It took less than 3 minutes for the grit separator to completely lift out 3 kgs of 0.2-0.3 mm sized, settled sand at the bottom to 2,060 mm high above water surface. But it showed the tendency to spend a little more time on lifting the grit as the grit size and the vertical height of the lift increased. 4. During experimental duration in A STP, it was found that the average amount of inlet grit was about 981 g/day (160~1,685 g/day) under $500m^3/day$ of operation condition, but it varied so severely during the experimental duration. After classification of discharged grit according to its size, grit with 0.3-0.42 mm size was found as largest part of output.

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of NH₃-N and nitrifying microorganisms on the increased BOD of downstream of the Yeongsan river in Gwangju. Water samples were collected periodically from the 13 sampling sites of rivers from April to October 2021 to monitor water qualities. In addition, the trends of nitrogenous biochemical oxygen demand (NBOD) and microbial clusters were analyzed by adding different NH₃-N concentrations to the water samples. The monitoring results showed that NH₃-N concentration in the Yeongsan river was 22 times increased after the inflow of discharged water from the Gwangju 1st public sewage treatment plant (G-1-PSTP). Increased NH₃-N elevated NBOD levels through the nitrification process in the river, consequently, it would attribute to the increase of BOD in the Yeongsan river. Meanwhile, there was no proportional relation between NBOD and NH₃-N concentrations. However, there was a significant difference in NBOD occurrence by sampling sites. Specifically, when 5 mg/L NH₃-N was added, NBOD of the river sample showed 2-4 times higher values after the inflow of discharged water from G-1-PSTP. Therefore, it could be thought other factors such as microorganisms influence the elevated NBOD levels. Through next-generation sequencing analysis, nitrifying microorganisms such as Nitrosomonas, Nitroga, and Nitrospira (Genus) were detected in rivers samples, especially, the proportion of them was the highest in river samples after the inflow of discharged water from G-1-PSTP. These results indicated the effects of nitrifying microorganisms and NH₃-N concentrations as important limiting factors on the increased NBOD levels in the rivers. Taken together, comprehensive strategies are needed not only to reduce the NH₃-N concentration of discharged water but also to control discharged nitrifying microorganisms to effectively reduce the NBOD levels in the downstream of the Yeongsan river where discharged water from G-1-PSTP flows.

본연구의 목적은 국내의 기존 하 폐수처리장에 생물막을 적용하여 BNR공정으로 전환 및 개조하거나 생물막 공법을 적용한 BNR공정을 3차 처리로 적용할 수 있는 새로운 공정을 개발하는 데 있다. 우리 나라 하수의 $SCOD_{cr}/T-N(NH_4{^+}-N+NOx-N) $ 비는 다른 나라에 비하여 상대적으로 낮기 때문에 완전한 탈질화를 얻기 위해서는 외부탄소원을 반드시 공급해야만 한다. 본 연구에서의 $SCOD_{cr}/NH_4{^+}-N$비는 2.49이었으며, 실험기간 동안 유입수 $NH_4{^+}-N$농도는 25에서 37 mg/L로 변화되었다. 하수처리시 질소제거능을 향상시키기 위하여 R-1(무산소/중간침전조/호기성/무산소/호기성)과 R-2(호기성/중간침전조/무산소/무산소/호기성)의 생물막을 이용하는 두 공정을 적용하였다. 외부탄소원을 투여하지 않은 조건에서 $NH_4{^+}-N$와 T-N의 유출수질과 제거효율은 R-1공정이 R-2공정에 비하여 하수로부터 질소제거에 보다 적절한 것으로 평가되었다. 무산소 반응조의 $SCOD_{cr}/NOx-N$비와 T-N제거효율을 고려하였을 때, R-1공정이 원하수내 유기물질의 분배에 있어서 더 효과적인 것으로 사료되었다. R-1 공정과 R-2공정에서 1 g의 $NH_4{^+}-N$를 제거하는데 요구되는 알칼리도는 R-1과 R-2 각각 5.18과 5.76(g $CaCO_3/g$ removed $NH_4{^+}-N$)이었으며, 이는 활성슬러지 BNR공정에 비하여 낮았다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate ecosystem health effect in the physiological levels, based on ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) and total oxyradical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assays using sentinel fish species. We collected fish samples of Zacco platypus in May 2008 from 3 sampling sites including upstream, midstream, and downstream of the Gap Stream. EROD activity was averaged 4.54 in the downstream, 2.7 fold higher than upstream and indicated that stream condition was degraded along with longitudinal gradient from up to downstream. Downstream, especially was significantly increased (p < 0.01) so that indicated various pollutants including nutrient enrichment and toxicant exposure from the point sources, wastewater treatment plant and industrial complex may impact to the stream condition. In the mean time, TOSC assays showed higher in the midstream than other sites, but the values were not significant, compared to the previous report on oxidative stress. Overall results indicated that our approaches applying two biomarkers can be effectively used for diagnosis of the physiological levels in an integrative stream health assessments and can be applied as useful pre-warning techniques as a biochemical alarm system of organic pollutions.

혐기적으로 1차 분해된 하수슬러지를 건물 중 기준으로 0, 1, 3, 그리고 5톤/10a 비율로 포장에 시용한 후, 대두 및 당근의 수량과 무기성분 흡수 등 몇가지 화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 슬러지 시용의 결과는 토양의 몇가지 화학적 특성을 증진시킨 반면, 작물에서의 Pb, Cd, Cr, As 및 Hg과 같은 유해 중금속의 흡수는 나타나지 않았다. 슬러지 시용은 작물의 N, P, K 및 Ca 등의 무기성분 흡수를 증가시켰고, 슬러지중 과량의 Al은 작물의 Al흡수에 별다른 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 슬러지는 두 작물의 수량을 증가시킨 반면, 슬러지 미부숙으로 인해 당근의 외관적 품질을 저하시켰다. 결론적으로 하수슬러지의 작물 생육효과가 긍정적으로 평가된 반면, 농업적으로 이용할 때는 반드시 퇴비화와 같은 슬러지의 안정화가 선행되어야 한다.
