This study was performed to investigate the disinfection efficiency and the formation characteristics of disinfection by-products(DBPs) by chlorination in the sewage effluent. The effluent was sampled from the sewage treatment plants operated in the activated sludge process and the advanced sewage process. The type of DBPs investigated were Trihalomethanes(THMs), Dichloroacetonitrile(DCAN), Chloral hydrate(CH), Dichloroacetic acid(DCAA), Trichloroacetic acid(TCAA). Major findings are as follows. First, the optimum injection concentration for chlorination in sewage effluent were found to be in the range $0.5{\sim}1.0mg\;cl_2/L$. Also, It was found that the chlorine dosage in the effluent of activated sludge process was higher than in the effluent of advanced sewage process. Second, the maximum formation concentration of THMs were $12.7{\mu}g/L$. The THMs formation reaction was finished in a short time of several seconds and chloroform was mainly formed. Also, it was found that the concentration of ammonium nitrogen is higher, the concentration of THMs is lower. Third, it was found that DCAA and TCAA were mainly formed as DBPs by disinfection.

하수슬러지의 해양투기가 금지됨에 따라 하수슬러지의 적정처리에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하수슬러지와 폐유리를 이용하여 경량벽돌을 제조하고자 하였다. 건축자재인 벽돌은 통상 $1,200^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 제조되기 때문에 벽돌 제조시 다량의 에너지가 소비된다. 본 연구에서는 하수슬러지와 폐유리를 이용하여 경량벽돌 제조시 $CO_2$ 배출량을 줄이기 위해 $800^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서 지오폴리머 기술을 이용하여 벽돌을 제조하였다. 경량벽돌 제조시 소성온도, 하수슬러지와 폐유리 및 물유리와 물의 혼합비 등이 주요 영향 인자이며, 이들의 변화에 따른 경량벽돌의 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 경량벽돌의 최적 제조조건은 소성온도 $750^{\circ}C$, 물유리/물 혼합비 1.5, 하수슬러지/폐유리 비 10 : 90 wt%였다. 이때 제조한 경량벽돌의 압축강도 5.1 MPa, 비중 0.46으로 발포세라믹 경량벽돌 기준을 만족시키는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 퇴비의 원료로 지정된 제약업종 공정오니 및 화장품 제조업 폐수처리오니를 시용한 후 고추를 재배하여 생육과 적과수량, 시기별로 토양 및 식물체 중 중금속 함량과 유해 유기화합물을 조사하였고, 시기별 토양에 대해 생물검정을 실시하였다. 토양 중 유기물 및 질소는 시험재료의 성분함량이 높은 처리구에서 높았다. 토양 중금속 전함량의 경우 Zn, Cr, Ni은 생육기간 동안 변화가 거의 없었으며, Cu, Pb, As, Cd은 수확기에 갑자기 함량이 증가하였고, 1 N HCl 가용함량에서는 Cd, As를 제외하고는 생육시기에 따른 함량의 차이는 없었다. 고추의 생육은 초기에는 오니구에서 화학비료구보다 전반적으로 불량하였는데, 이는 유기물 함량이 높고 질소함량이 낮아서 생육 후기까지 회복되지 못하였기 때문인 것으로 보였다. 고추 잎과 줄기의 질소함량은 생육 초기 및 중기에 모든 오니 처리구에서 낮았고, 수확기에 제약오니 1구에서 높았던 것은 이들 시험재료의 유기물 및 질소성분의 함량과 특성에 기인된 것으로 보였다. 식물체 중 중금속 함량에서 잎은 As 성분을 제외하고 다른 성분들은 생육 초기 및 중기에 함량이 높았다가 수확기에 감소하였으며, 줄기는 전 성분이 수확기에 감소하는 경향이었다. 고추의 총 적과수량은 화학비료>제약오니 3>돈분>제약오니 1>제약오니 2구 순으로 낮아졌으며, 화장품오니구는 타 처리구보다 상당히 감소하였다. 화장품오니구의 HEM 함량은 $4.80g\;kg^{-1}$, PAHs 함량은 $2,263.2{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$으로 다른 처리구보다 월등히 높았고, 생물검정법의 일환인 상추종자 유근신장 조사에서는 화장품 오니구가 무처리구에 비해 20% 이상 낮은 신장율을 보였다.

This paper presents PKES(PuKyung -Excel based Simulator) for WWTPs(wastewater treatment plants) by using MS Excel and VBA(Visual Basic for Application). PKES is a user-friendly simulator for the design and optimization of the whole plant including biological and physico-chemical processes for the wastewater and sludge treatment. PKES calculates the performance under steady or dynamic state and allows changing the mathematical model by the user. Mathematical model implemented in PKES is a improved integration model based on ASM2d and ADM1 for simulation of AS(activated sludge) and AD(anaerobic digestion). Gaseous components of $N_2$, $N_2O$, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ are added for estimation of GHGs(greenhouse gases) emission. The simulation results for comparison between PKES and Aquasim(EAWAG) showed about the same effluent concentrations. As a result of verification using by measured data of BOD, TSS, TN and TP for 2 years of operation, calculated effluent concentrations were similar to measured effluent concentrations. The values of average RMSE(root mean square error) were 1.9, 0.8, 1.6 and 0.2 mg/L for BOD, TSS, TN and TP, respectively. Total GHGs emission of WWTP calculated by PKES was 138.5 ton-$CO_2$/day and GHGs emissions of $N_2O$, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ were calculated at 21.7, 28.9 and 87.9 ton-$CO_2$/day, respectively. GHGs emission of activated sludge was 32.5 % and that of anaerobic digestion was 67.5 %.

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.

An important factor in determining the design and treatment efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is the quantity and quality of influent. These detailed and accurate information is essential for process control, diagnosis and operation, as well as the basis in designing the plant, selecting the process and determining the optimal capacity of each bioreactor. Probabilistic models are used to predict the wastewater quantity and quality of WWTPs, which are widely used to improve the design and operation of WWTPs. In this study, the optimal probability distribution of time series influent data was derived for predicting water quantity and quality, and wastewater influent data were generated using the Monte Carlo simulation analysis. In addition, we estimated various alternatives for the improvement of bioreactor operations based on present operation condition using the generated influent data and activated sludge model, and suggested the alternative that can operate the most effectively. Thus, the influent quantity and quality are highly correlated with the actual operation data, so that the actual WWTPs influent characteristics were well reproduced. Using this will improve the operating conditions of WWTPs, and a proposed improvement plan for the current TMS (Tele Monitoring System) effluent quality standards can be made.

기존의 밸트프레스 탈수장치로부터 생산되는 탈수 케이크의 함수율이 75 wt% 이상으로 매우 높아 탈수 케이크 처리에 있어 경제적, 환경적 측면에서의 한계를 내포하고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 구축된 열 탈수장치를 슬러지 처리 현장에 설치하여 밸트프레스 탈수장치와 탈수성능을 서로 비교함으로서 열 탈수장치의 적용성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 우선 정수 슬러지에 대한 탈수특성을 월별로 분석하였다. 1년 중 갈수기의 슬러지에는 유기물 함량이 높아 탈수가 어려운 반면 우수기의 슬러지는 유기물 함량이 낮아 탈수가 잘 되었다. 이와 같은 슬러지의 탈수 특성을 바탕으로 1년 동안 두 장치에 대한 슬러지의 탈수 특성을 비교한 결과, 갈수기의 슬러지에 대하여 열 탈수로 생산한 탈수 케이크 함수율은 $41.6{\sim}48.3$ wt%, 기계식 벨트프레스에 의해서는 $71{\sim}84$ wt%, 우수기의 경우 열 탈수에 의해 생산된 탈수 케이크 함수율은 $34{\sim}37.7$ wt%, 기계식 벨트프레스에 의해서는 $57{\sim}70$ wt%로 나타났다. 열탈수에 의한 함수율 저감이 현격하게 나타나는 것을 파악하였다. 탈수 케이크 함수율 저감에 따른 케이크 처리량 감소 등을 고려하여 두 장치에 대한 경제성을 평가한 결과 열 탈수의 비용 지수를 100으로 하였을 때 벨트프레스는 121, 즉 열 탈수는 벨트프레스에 비하여 설치 및 운용적인 측면에서 약 20% 이상 경제적인 효과 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, 필터프레스의 경우 11%, 데칸터의 경우 24% 경제적 이점이 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 결론적으로 열 탈수장치는 저 함수율 탈수 케이크를 생산할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 장치 운용 비용이 저렴한 시스템으로 평가되었다.

Removal of nitrogen and phosphate in wastewater is concerned to important for the prevention of eutrophication in receiving water and lake. Conventional activated sludge system designed for organics removal can be retrofitted only by modification of aeration basin to maintain anaerobic and aerobic state. Biological nutrient removal processes(BNR) such as Bardenpho, A$^{2}$/O, UCT, VIP were generally used for the treatment of wastewater. However these BNR processes used in large scale WWTP were not suitable in small scale WWTP(i.e., package type WWTP) due to relatively large fluctuation of flow rate and concentration of pollutants. The purpose of this research was to develop the compact, effective and economical package type WWTP for the removals of carbon and nitrogen in small scale wastewater. Intermittently aerated activated sludge system (IADFAS) were investigated for removal of nitrogen in both domestic wastewater, Bardenpho process was also evaluated. Nitrogen removal of IAAS, IADFAS, Bardenpho were 75, 77 and 67%, respectively.
