본 연구에서는 수중 악취의 원인 물질인 용존 암모니아를 제거하기 위해 분말형태의 활성탄을 사용하였다. 특히, 일반적인 분말활성탄은 암모니아 흡착능이 좋지 않기 때문에 흡착능을 높이기 위해 분말활성탄의 표면을 산 용액으로 함침시킨 산 첨착활성탄을 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조한 산 첨착활성탄을 섬유 재질로 된 다공성 지지막($10{\sim}50{\mu}m$)의 표면에 압력에 의한 분리 활성 여과 층을 형성시켜 흡착과 분리를 동시에 할 수 있는 혼합 공정을 구성하였다. 그 결과 혼합공정에서 암모니아 제거율이 60% 이상 되어, 일반 분말활성탄에 비해 10~15% 더 높은 흡착능을 보였다. 그리고 층이 형성된 동적막의 순수투과성능 실험을 보면 수투과도는 400~700 LMH로 정밀여과(Microfiltration)막 수준의 역할을 한다. 이는 수처리에서 기존의 분리막 공정보다 고효율적인 처리 유량을 유지하는 효과가 기대된다.

상수원수중 조류에 의해 발생하는 이취미물질인 2-MIB 및 Geosmin의 전처리방법에 따른 회수율 조사와 이들 물질의 효과적인 처리를 위한 회분식 실험에서의 제거효율을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 전처리 방법에 따른 2-MIB 및 Geosmin의 회수율은 0.2 및 $2\;{\mu}g/L$ 농도에서 모두 시료채취량을 30 mL, 염석제인 NaCl를 9 g 주입하고, SPME syring주입 위치를 headspace로 하며, 흡착시간를 40분 이상으로 하였을 경우가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 최적전처리 조건에서의 회수율은 0.2 및 $2\;{\mu}g/L$ 농도에서 2-MIB의 경우 각각 약 85 및 95%, Geosmin의 경우 61 및 81%로 조사되었다. 회분식 실험에서의 2-MIB 및 Geosmin의 각 농도별 제거효율은 모든 흡착제에서 증류수를 사용하여 조제하였을 경우가 상수원수로 조제하였을 경우에 비해 높았고, 상수원수로 조제하였을 경우에는 농도에 따라서는 별 차이가 없었다. 흡착제의 종류에 따라 Freundrich 등온흡착식에 적응한 결과 흡착능력을 나타내는 K값은 제올라이트, 석탄계 활성탄 및 야자계 활성탄에서 2-MIB이 경우 각각 약 0.671, 1.811 및 1.340이었고, Geosmin의 경우 각각 약 0.613, 1.771 및 1.519로서, 2-MIB 및 Geosmin 모두 석탄계 활성탄 > 야자계 활성탄 > 제올라이트 순이었다.

To remove the low concentration of methane biologically, a three phase fluidized bed bioreactor immobilized with Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b was used. Optimum pH, temperature and bed height for the operation were pH7.0, 30$^\circ C$ and 150cm, respectively. For the inlet methane concentration of 100-400ppm and flow rate of 2-4L/min, the removal efficiencies of the bioreactor using the activated carbon as a carrier were the range of 54-71%, whereas those using the biosand were the range of 45-56%. It was found that activated carbon was more efficient than the biosand for the removal of methane. When aeration tank was equipped with the bioreactor, the removal efficiency increased to 6-13% and maximum removal rate obtained in the experiment was 1184mg.CH$_4$/min.

대청호 원수를 취수하여 정수하는 대청수도에서 이취미를 제거하고 THM(Trihalomethanes) 발생량을 줄이기 위하여 기존 표준정수공정에 오존과 활성탄여과공정을 추가한 pilot plant 실험을 수행하였다. pilot 실험결과 표준정수공정에서 DOC(dissolved organic carbon)는 약 25% 제거되었으나, 오존공정에서는 거의 제거되지 않았고, 30일이 지난 후 GAC(granular activated carbon)에서는 약 75%까지 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 표준정수공정에서 이취미는 약 30%, 오존산화공정에서 약 60%정도 제거되었고, 활성탄여과에서 대부분 제거되었으나, Column 1과 2에서는 DOC와 같이 이취미물질도 파과(breakthrough) 되는 것으로 나타났다. 전염소처리 대신에 중1, 2염소처리를 도입할 경우 전염소처리와 비교하여 약 25%정도의 THM발생량이 감소하였으며, 후염소처리만할 경우 약 30%까지 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

The electro-chemical removal (ECR) of water pollutants by metal-ACF electrodes from wastewater was investigated over wide range of ECR time. The ECR capacities of metallic ACF electrodes were related to physical properties such as adsorption isotherm, surface area and pore size and to reaction time. Surface morphologies and elemental analysis for the metal supported ACFs after electro-catalytic reaction were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy disperse X-ray (EDX) to explain the changes in adsorption properties. The IR spectra of metallic ACFs for the investigation of functional groups show that the electro-catalytic treatment is consequently associated with the removal of pollutants with the increasing surface reactivity of the activated carbon fibers. The metal-ACFs were electro-catalytically reacted to waste water to investigate the removal efficiency for the COD, T-N, $NH_4$-N, $NO_3$-N and $NO_2$-N. From these removal results of the piggery waste using metallic ACFs substrate, satisfactory removal performance was achieved. The removal efficiency of the metallic ACFs substrate was mainly determined by the properties of the material for adsorption and trapping of organics, and catalytic effects.

This study was performed to delineate the removal phenol in solutions using of ozone, ozone/$H_2O_2$ and ozone/GAC. The disinfection by-product of phenol by ozonation, hydroquinone, was analyzed and it's control process was investigated. The followings are the conclusions that were derived from this study. 1. The removal efficiency of phenol by ozonation was 58.37%, 48.34%, 42.15%, and 35.41% which the initial concentration of phenol was 5 mg/l, 10 mg/l, 15 mg/l, and 20 mg/l, respectively. 2. The removal efficiency of phenol by ozonation was 42.95% at pH 4.0 and 69.39% at pH 10, respectively. The removal efficiencies were gradually increased, as pH values were increased. 3. With the ozone/$H_2O_2$ combined system, the removal efficiency of phenol was 72.87%. It showed a more complete degradation of phenol with ozone/$H_2O_2$ compared with ozone alone. 4. When ozonation was followed by filtration on GAC, phenol was completely removed. 5. Oxidation, if carried to completion, truly destroys the organic compounds, converting them to carbon dioxide. Unless reaction completely processed, disinfection by-products would be produced. To remove them, ozone/GAC treatment was used. The results showed that disinfection by-product of phenol by ozonation, hydroquinone, was completely removed. These results suggested that ozone/GAC should also be an appropriate way to remove phenol and its by-product.

본 연구는 부영양화 호소의 개선을 위하여 분말활성탄 공정을 적용하고 호소수 내의 용존 유기물과 인의 제거특성을 파악하고자 수행되었다. 용존 유기물의 제거특성은 부유물질의 제거특성과 다르며 응집제 주입량과 pH에 영향을 받음을 확인하였다. 용존 유기물은 분말활성탄에 의해 흡착으로 제거되며 응집과정에서 용존 유기물의 제거효율을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 응집침전공정의 인 제거 과정과 같은 화학침전과정에서 형성되는 용존성 착화합물과 콜로이드성 물질은 인의 제거효율을 저하시키는 요인이다. 분말활성탄의 주입으로 콜로이드성 물질과 용존성 착화합물을 흡착함으로써 인의 제거효율을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 또한 분말활성탄은 응집과정의 floc의 밀도를 증가시켜 침전속도를 높이고 고액분리 효율을 높일 수 있었다.

In this study, the removal efficiency of PFCs(perfluorinated compounds) in the GAC(granule activated carbon) process based on the superheated steam automatic regeneration system was investigated in laboratory scale and pilot-scale reactor. Among PFCs, PFHxS(perfluorohexyl sulfonate) was most effectively removed. The removal efficiency of PFCs was found to be closely related to the EBCT, and the removal efficiencies of PFOA(perfluorooctanoic acid), PFOS(perfluorooctyl sulfonate), and PFHxS were 43.7, 75, and 100%, respectively, under the condition of EBCT of 6 min. Afterward, PFOA, PFOS, and PFHxS exhibited the earlier breakthrough time in the order. After that, GAC was regenerated, and the removal efficiency of the PFCs before and after regeneration was compared. As a result, it was shown that the PFCs removal efficiency in the regenerated GAC process were higher, and that of PFOA was improved to 75%. The findings of this study indicate the feasibility of the superheated steam automatic regeneration system for the stable removal of the PFCs, and it was verified that this technology can be applied stably enough even in field conditions.

Treatment performance and microbial community structure were investigated in water-soluble cutting oil treatment process using biological activated carbon. DOC removal in BACI column at $15^{\circ}C$ was higher than at $25^{\circ}C$, but those of BAC3 column after 60days was high at$25^{\circ}C$. Also, quinone content of first-step reactors at $25^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$ was much the same, but those of the third-step reactor at $25^{\circ}C$ was higher than at $15^{\circ}C$. The dominant type of two apparatus was ubquinone (UQ)-l 0 followed by UQ-8. Menaquinones were detected from $25^{\circ}C$ apparatus and effluent. This suggested that DOC removal at $25^{\circ}C$ was advanced degradation by attached microorganisms on the activated carbon surface. The DOC removal in long-term activated carbon apparatus increased with going in BAC3 column. This indicated the influent of POC was a result of DOC removal efficiency decrease. Integrated DOC removal from start point in experiment to break point and quinone content were showed a tendency of increasing with going last-step activated carbon apparatus. Therefore, the biological activated carbon apparatus used by this study was effective treatment process in contaminated groundwater by water-soluble cutting oil.

A biofiltration system using activated carbon/polyurethane composite as solid support inoculated with Bacillus sp. was developed for treating a gaseous stream containing high concentrations of H$_2$S. The effects of operating condition such as the influent H$_2$S concentration and the empty bed contact time (EBCT) on the removal efficiency of H$_2$S were investigated. The biofilter showed the stable removal efficiencies of over 99 ％ under the EBCT range from 15 to 60 sec at the 300 ppmv of H$_2$S inlet concentration. When the inlet concentration of H$_2$S was increased, the removal efficiencies decreased, reaching 95 and 74％, at EBCTs of 10 and 7.5 sec, respectively. The maximum elimination capacity in the biofilter packed with activated carbon/polyurethane composite media was 157 g/m$^3$/hr.
