One of the main problems to constitute control method on biologically oriented wastewater purification processes, e.g. activated sludge process, sequential batch reactor, rotating bio-disk contactor, etc. is that it is hard to control the target component directly. For instance, while biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and chemical oxygen demand are the key components to check the process performance, one may not control them directly since they are the results of microbial activities related to numerous physiochemical factors. Therefore controllers for bioprocess should be designed to make favorable condition for microorganisms´ living, e.g. dissolved oxygen level favorable, mixed liquor suspended solids concentration suitable ...

River-water quality has been greatly improved during past several decades with the extraordinary expansion for the wastewater treatment capacities by the government. Research aims to select the priority restoration streams based on the chronicle data for tributaries in Geumgang watershed as the main stream area in the Chungchungnamdo province. The quality of BOD, phosphorus and percent of sewered population on 15 branch streams were compared by the grouping methods. The results of group D streams by category I that exceed 3.0 mg/L for BOD and 0.1 mg/L for phosphorus were Seuksung, Ganggyung and Bangchuk stream. The results of group D streams by category II that exceed 3.0 mg/L for BOD and less than 63.5 % of average percent of sewered population were Ganggyung, Gilsan, Bangchuk and Seuksung stream. The final results of selected streams drawn by the chronicle data which exceeded the standard quality and lower than the average percent of sewered population were Seoksung, Gangeyung and Bangchuk stream. The pollution of rivers in the down streams were more serious than in the upper streams. Their watersheds have to be improved river water quality, especially to extend sewer systems as well as wastewater treatment facilities.

Nanotechnology is the applied science which develops new materials and systems sized within 1 to 100 nanometer, and improves their physical, chemical, and biological characteristics by manipulating on an atomic and molecular scale. This nanotechnology has been applied to wide spectrum of industries resulting in production of various nanoparticles. It is expected that more nanoparticles will be generated and enter to natural water bodies, imposing great threat to potable water resources. However their toxicity and treatment options have not been throughly investigated, despite the significant growth of nanotechnology-based industries. The objective of this study is to provide fundamental information for the management of nanoparticles in water supply systems through extensive literature survey. More specifically, two types of nanoparticles are selected to be a potential problem for drinking water treatment. They are carbon nanoparticles such as carbon nanotube and fullerene, and metal nanoparticles including silver, gold, silica and titanium oxide. In this study, basic characteristics and toxicity of these nanoparticles were first investigated systematically. Their monitoring techniques and treatment efficiencies in conventional water treatment plants were also studied to examine our capability to mitigate the risk associated with nanoparticles. This study suggests that the technologies monitoring nanopartilces need to be greatly improved in water supply systems, and more advanced water treatment processes should be adopted for better control of these nanoparticles.

This study presents a system dynamics modeling approach to simulate daily streamflow in a watershed including wastewater treatment plant which contributes to irrigation water supply. The conceptual system dynamics model considering the complex and dynamic hydrological processes in the watershed was developed. The model was calibrated and validated each for two years based on observed flow data. Model performances in terms of $E_{NS}$, RSR, PBIAS, and $R^2$ were 0.64, 0.60, -3.6 %, and 0.64 for calibration period, and 0.66, 0.58, -2.6 %, and 0.66 for validation period, respectively, showing an applicability on generating the daily streamflow. System dynamics modeling approach could help better understand the hydrological behavior of the watershed being reused wastewater for agriculture, by providing graphical dynamics of the hydrological processes as well as conventional rainfall-runoff model results.

하수처리장 방류수와 하천 중의 항생제 내성인자 분포에 대한 상관성을 분석하기 위해 방류수와 상류 하천수, 하류 하천수를 대상으로 항생제 내성유전자와 전파 관련 유전자를 조사하였다. 3개 지점에서 134~183개의 항생제 내성유전자(ARG) 및 전파 관련 유전자(MGE)가 검출되었으며, 1개의 16S rRNA 유전자에 대한 ARG 및 MGE 유전자의 상대적인 총 합이 0.063~0.422 copy로 분석되었다. ARG와 MGE의 수와 존재량은 방류수에서 가장 높게 검출된 반면, 총 세균 수는 가장 적게 검출됨으로서 하수처리 과정에서 사멸된 세균에 포함된 유전자들이 검출된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 MGE의 존재량 양상이 ARG의 존재량과 상관관계를 보임으로서 항생제 내성균들의 내성기작이 자연내성보다는 획득내성일 가능성을 제시하였다.

This paper examines the applicability of DAF-system to the domestic sewers for the effective CSOs treatment. The procedures for the experiment include mainly two steps. One is to analyse the water qualities and settling test of the CSOs and the other focuses on general characteristics of the CSOs such as the removal efficiency of pollutant, the distribution of particle size and mass balance of DAF-system. The result of this study show that the application of DAF-system is more effective and economical than the existing treatment systems because it has two removal mechanisms of sedimentation and flotation simultaneously.

A cost analysis method for pretreament processes of a large scale seawater desalination plant was considered using a cost estimation model, WaTER (Water Treatment Estimation Routine). This model is based on cost functions of U.S. EPA to conduct economic analysis of water treatment facilities. A virtual seawater desalination plant which has pretreatment production capacity of $100,000m^3$ per day was chosen as a model plant. Dual media filtration and microfiltration systems were compared as pretreatment process, and the following reverse osmosis process was modeled. As a result, microfiltration showed a price competitiveness in condition of operating with reverse osmosis process by reducing the loads of water treatment and membrane cleaning despite it's high annual cost.

낙동강 유역 일부공단지역에 위치한 일곱 개소의 폐수처리장 및 두 개소의 공단배수로에서 휘발성유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs)의 분포특성을 조사하였다. 시료는 2008년 5월부터 2008년 11월 사이 총 4회에 걸쳐 채취하였으며 총 17종의 VOCs를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 8종의 VOCs가 일부 시료에서 검출이 되었고 검출농도는 종류와 시료채취 위치에 따라 달랐지만 모두 0.11 (Trichloroethylene)~5.81 (Toluene) ${\mu}g/L$ 의 범위인 것으로 확인되었다. VOCs는 미량으로도 인간의 건강이나 수중 생태계에 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 이들 물질이 비록 미량의 수준을 보였으나 검출이 된 이상 이들 물질에 대한 적절한 관리대책이 강구되어야 할 것으로 사료되며 본 연구에서 이들 물질에 대한 관리방안을 제안하였다.
