소규모 농촌 지역 하수도 보급률은 도시지역의 약 40% 이하 수준이다. 농촌지역의 낮은 하수도 보급률은 상수원의 수질악화의 원인으로 보고되고 있다. 안동댐과 임하댐 상류에 위치하고 있는 봉화군에 신설된 마을하수도 11개소의 운전 결과를 분석하였다. 운전결과를 바탕으로 봉화군 마을하수도 특성과 도입된 처리 공법에 관한 분석을 실시하였다. 봉화군 유입 하수는 도시지역에 비해 고농도의 유기물과 영양염류를 함유하고 있다. 마을하수도에 도입된 처리 공법은 전체적으로 안정적인 처리 효율을 보였다. 하지만 영양염류의 경우 처리 효율의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 이는 마을하수도 운전 시영양염류 처리에 있어 운전 조건 관리에 관심을 기울여야 한다는 것을 의미한다.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the variation of the molecular size distribution by granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption. GAC adsorption was assessed by using the rapid small-scale column test (RSSCT) and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) was used to analyze the molecular size distribution (MSD) in the effluent of GAC column. RSSCT study suggested that GAC adsorption exhibited excellent interrelationship between dissolved organic carbon (DOC) breakthrough and MSD as function of bed volumes passed. After GAC treatment, the nonadsorbable fraction which was about 25percents of influent DOC corresponded to the hydrophilic (HPI) natural organic carbon (NOM) of NOM fractions and was composed entirely of <300 molecular weight (MW) in the HPSEC at the initial stage of the RSSCT operation. The dominant MW fraction in the source water was 1,000~5,000daltons. At the bed volumes 2,500, MW <500 of GAC treated water was risen rather than it of source water. After the bed volumes 7,300 of operation, the MW 1,000~3,000 fraction was closed to about 80percents of DOC found in the GAC influent. The Number-average molecular weight (Mn) value determined using HPSEC for the effluent of GAC column was gently increased as DOC breakthrough progress. The quotient p(Mw/Mn) can be used to estimate the degree of polydispersity was shown greatest value for the GAC effluent at the initial stage of the RSSCT operation.

수산가공폐수슬러지를 이용한 고품질의 퇴비생산을 위하여 현장 퇴비화공장에서 슬러지와 가축분의 혼합 비율에 따른 퇴비화 과정중의 온도는 모든 처리에서 퇴비화 3~5일간 급격히 상승하여 최고온도에 도달하였으며 그후 서서히 감소하는 경향이었다. 퇴비화 19일후 하강온도가 $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$되었을 때를 1차 퇴비화 종료시점으로 판단하고 1차 뒤집기를 실시하고 후숙을 시켰으며 그후 퇴비화조내의 온도가 다시 상승하였다. 그후 2차 및 3차 뒤집기를 실시하였으나 온도의 상승폭이 작아 퇴비화가 완료된 것으로 판단하였다. 그리고 퇴비화과정중 온도는 슬러지 첨가율이 높을수록 높았다. 퇴비화 종료시점에서의 퇴비중 총 탄소함량은 퇴비화 초기에 비해 약 4.5~8.0% 감소하였고, 그 감소폭은 수산가공폐수슬러지의 첨가율이 높을수록 증가하였다. 퇴비화과정 중 유기물중 ether추출물질, resins 및 hemicellulose함량은 각각 약 35~77%, 32~69% 및 19~30%감소하였으나, 수용성 polysaccharides함량은 별 변화가 없었고, cellulose, lignins 및 미동정태 유기물함량은 약간 증가하였다. 퇴비화 종료시점에서의 총 질소, amino sugar태 및 amino acid태 질소함량은 퇴비화재료에 비해 각각 약 20~42%, 11~40% 및 23~65% 감소하였다. 퇴비화과정 중 humic acid함량은 별 변화가 없었으나, fulvic acid함량은 퇴비화가 진행될수록 감소하여 전체 humus 중 humic acid가 차지하는 비율이 증가하였다. 수산가공폐수 슬러지의 퇴비화과정 중 시기별 무우, 배추 및 오이의 발아율 및 뿌리 생장율을 조사한 결과 모든 처리에서 발아율은 퇴비화 30일 이후에는 90%이상으로서 완숙퇴비기준치 이상이었고, 뿌리생장율도 30일 이후에는 대조구와 비슷하였으며 퇴비화 30일 이후에는 각 처리 조건 및 시기별 별 영향이 없었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of initial pH, current density, and electrolysis time on process performance in terms of decolorization and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal from disperse dyebath wastewater (DDW) by mono-polar parallel laboratory scale electrocoagulation (EC) process. COD reduction of 51.3% and decolorization of 92.8% were obtained with operating cost of 0.19 €/㎥ treated wastewater for Al-Al electrode pair, while 90.5% of decolorization and 49.2% of COD reduction were obtained with operating cost of 0.20 €/㎥ treated wastewater for an Fe-Fe electrode pair. The amount of sludge production were highly related to type of the electrode materials. At the optimum conditions, the amount of sludge produced were 0.18 kg/㎥ and 0.28 kg/㎥ for Al-Al and Fe-Fe electrode pairs, respectively. High decolorization can be explained by the hydrophobic nature of the disperse dye, while limited COD removal was observed due to the high dissolved organic matter of the DDW based on auxiliary chemicals. Energy, electrode, and chemical consumptions and sludge handling were considered as major cost items to find a cost-effective and sustainable solution for EC. The contribution of each cost items on operating cost were determined as 10.0%, 51.1%, 30.5% and 8.4% for Al-Al, and they were also determined as 9.0%, 38.0%, 40.5% and 12.5% for Fe-Fe, respectively. COD reduction and decolorization were fitted to first-order kinetic rule.

This study explored effects of a sludge-based biochar addition on nitrogen removal of membrane bioreactor (MBR) for wastewater treatment. The membrane fouling reduction by the biochar addition was also investigated. A dose of 3 g/L of the biochar was applied to an MBR (i.e., BC-MBR) and treatment efficiencies of organic matter and nutrient were analyzed. The MBRs with powdered activated carbon (i.e., AC-MBR) and without any additives were also operated in parallel. The average removals of COD and TN were improved with the biochar addition compared to those with the control MBR. Interestingly, operational duration was also increased with biochar addition. The CLSM analysis revealed that biomass amounts of BC-MBR and AC-MBR were reduced by more than 40%, and thickness of the biofilm attached to the membrane surface also was decreased. The physical properties of biochar surfaces were compared with a commercial powdered activated carbon. The specific surface area with 38 m²/g and pore volume with 0.13 cm³/g of the biochar were much smaller than those of the powdered activated carbon, which were 1100 m²/g and 0.67 cm³/g, respectively. Manufacturing conditions for the biochar production needs to be further investigated for enhancing physical properties for adsorption and biological improvement.

This study was carried out to compare the performances of hydrophobic and hydrophilic membranes in the filtration of the pretreatment waters using coagulants such as PAC and PAHCs, and to investigate the influence of NOM characteristics on the fouling of membranes. As a result, the hydrophobic fraction was more effectively removed by PAHCs, however the transphilic and hydrophilic fraction were more effectively removed by PAC on NOM removal. Raw water showed the highest response in the range of humic substances, and pre-coagulated waters with PAC and PAHCs followed. It was also observed that the fouling effect for a hydrophobic membrane was greater than that of a hydrophilic membrane with a similar pore size, due to fouling caused by adsorption. Foulants causing significant flux decline were alcoholic compounds (polysaccharide-like) and humic substances including aromatic groups. Especially, it appeared that alcoholic compounds such as polysaccharide-like substances which mostly remained after coagulation pretreatment had most influence on fouling. It was found that fouling were influenced by each fraction NOM components depending on coagulants used. And PAHCs was more efficient for membrane fouling than PAC.

With a belief of high water quality production and less chemical usage, membrane technology including Microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), and Nanofiltration(NF) is being employed more and more in drinking water treatment process. However, due to higher energy consumption of UF and NF, MF is normally used for drinking water treatment especially in a plant of large scale. In this investigation, performance ofsand filtration and membrane filtration was compared regarding removal of various water quality parameters, such as TOC, DOC, KMnO4 consumption, THMFP, and HAAFP. Two lines of pilot plant have been operated, one of which line is a traditional advanced water treatment process which includes sedimentation, sand filtration, ozonation, and activated carbon, and the other line is an alternative treatment process which includes sedimentation with inclined plate, MF membrane, ozonation, and activated carbon. For the first about 4months of period, MF filtration showed similar or little bit higher performance than sand filtration. However, after about 4month later, sand filtration showed much higher performance in removing all parameters monitored in the investigation. It was found that sand filtration is a better option than MF filtration as far as microbial community is fully activated in sand filter bed.
