Agricultural practice and improper waste disposal in developing regions have resulted in environmental degradation in land and waters, for which low-cost, proven solutions are needed. We demonstrate in the laboratory the applications of composting and trickling filter techniques to treat olive mill wastes that can be implemented in the West Bank and other regions of the world. To a pomace waste sample from a California mill, we amended with saw dust (wood carbon source) and baking soda ($NaHCO_3$ alkalinity) at weight ratios of waste/wood/$NaHCO_3$ at 70:27:1 and composted it for periods of 11 and 48 days; the compost was used as an additive to potting soil for transplanting. The pomace sample was also blended into slurry and introduced to a water-circulating pond and trickling filter system (P/TF) to examine any inhibitive effect of the pomace on biological removal of the organic waste. The results showed the compost-amended potting soil supported plant growth without noticeable stress over 34 days and the P/TF system removed BOD and COD by >90% from the waste liquid within 2 days, with a first-order rate constant of 1.9 $d^{-1}$ in the pond. An onsite treatment design is proposed that promises implementation for agricultural waste disposal in developing regions.

Pond management is a critical part of overall golf course management, both during growth and maintenance modes of turf care. This study investigated 48 ponds in nine 18- or 27-hole golf courses to analyze the environmental characteristics of ponds. The research process had three phases: (1) inventory and analysis of grading plans and drainage plans, (2) field verification and interviews with greenskeepers, and (3) analyses of water quality and statistics. All data were collected from May to August in 2004. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. It is desirable to site a golf course in a small watershed with high watershed eccentricity to control storm water runoff efficiently and to minimize soil erosion during construction. 2. The siting and size of a pond should be determined through a land-use analysis of the watershed for the purpose of ecological management. The bigger the forest-to-golf course ratio, the better the water quality will be. 3. The size and capacity of each individual ponds varied and there were many somewhat longish rather than round ponds. 4. There were many differences among golf courses in naturalness of the ponds, and the correlation between naturalness and area of aquatic plants was very high. 5. Analyses of pond water quality indicated that the degrees of Dissolved Oxygen, Chemical Oxygen Demanded and Suspended Solids were relatively low values but Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen were too high. Therefore a systematic approach is needed to solve e problem. Pesticide residues were not detected in all ponds. 6. Water depth and area of hydrophyte should be considered when designing an ecological pond. 7. All ponds used storm water as a main source of water supply and added underground water. Aquatic plants and physical methods such as water aeration and spray fountains were the main choices for maintaining a healthy aquatic environment.

The oxygen solubilized device(O.S.D) and standardized microorganism culture system is more efficient than physical and chemical purification techniques in closed water. This study was to determine how the O.S.D and standardized culture system is efficient in purification capacity in closed water based on the lab scale and pilot plant. In the batch test, inducing the quantitative results from pilot plant operation condition, removal efficiency of COD and TN were about 48.3% and 35% respectively, while SS and chlorophyll-a were 94.9% and 68.7%. The pilot plant results showed that suspended solid(SS) and chlorophyll-a removal efficiency were 60% and 59% respectively, due to coagulation characteristics by standardized culture. Total nitrogen(TN) and total phosphorus(TP)showed good effect for the purification of target pond water quality from field data. Additionally, released velocity was determined in control condition of $5.31mgPO{_4}^{3-}{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and $2486.8mgCOD{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$. Otherwise, phosphate and COD reflux in the aeration and microorganism condition was showed $-9.95mgPO{_4}^{3-}{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and $-397.88mgCOD{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$. This technology is the most effective not only removal of SS and chlorophyll-a but also control of phosphate and COD release which is very important phenomena in evaluating water quality in closed water like a reservoir and pond.

축산지역 강우유출수 처리를 위한 간헐 포기식 인공습지에서 산소공급 및 소비량을 산출하여 낮과 밤 동안의 산소수지(oxygen balance)를 분석하였다. 조류의 광합성 활동이 활발한 얕은 습지에서 주간에는 내부 생산되는 산소가 지배적이었다. 또한 조류에 의한 내호흡이 가장 큰 소비원인 것으로 분석되었으며 질산화와 탈질에 의한 소비량은 각각 전체의 약 5.35%와 6.43%인 것으로 분석되었다. 조류에 의한 과도한 양의 산소소비는 포기조작에 의한 침전조류의 재부상에 의해 초래된 것으로 후속 공정에도 지속적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 더욱이 주간에 조류의 광합성 활동에 의해 생산된 풍부한 산소량은 습지에서 발생하는 산소요구량을 충족시키기에 충분한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 주간에 실시되는 인위적인 포기활동은 불필요한 조작으로 판명되었다. 이와 반면에 광합성 활동이 중단되는 야간에는 조류의 내호흡작용으로 습지내부의 산소농도가 크게 저하하였으며 이는 습지에서 탈질반응을 촉진하는 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 인위적인 포기를 중단해도 유기물질 제거나 질소제거에 큰 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 판단되며, 야간에 혐기성 상태의 지속으로 악취와 같은 문제가 발생될 수 있으므로 간헐적인 모드로 운전하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

The major problem in closing water like lakes and ponds in Korea is that because they are exposed to surrounding, so easily polluted. The pollution in closing water can be caused by not only artificial factor like sewage but also natural factor like elution from sediment. For insurance of safe and satisfied water source, lots of studies and projects are now going on. In this study, we examined the behavior and effect of microbubble ($3{\sim}10{\mu}m$) produced by device called O.S.D (Oxygen Solubillization Device) in small size pond. The value of oxygen transfer coefficient ($K_La$) was 0.68/min independently of air flow rate, 6.5 times higher than commercial aeration stone and the variation of nitrogen concentration was $0.008NO_3/O_2$, DO concentration was potentially saturated for 24 hr. From the results of pilot plant, SOD of experiment (O.S.D) and control were $12.18gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ and $47.95gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ respectively. In conclusion, because O.S.D has extraordinary physico-chemical characteristics, it can contribute to improvement of both the waterbody and the sediment environment.

연구에서는 일본의 공정시험법에 따라 7종의 아민 표준물질로부터 검량선을 작성하고 실제 공기 중의 아민시료를 채취하여 농도를 산정하였다. 검량선은 좋은 직선상관을 보였으며, 50 L의 시료채취시 트리메틸아민의 경우 검량한계가 0.033 ppb(0.040 ng)로 나타나 부지경계선에서의 규제농도(공업지역 20 ppb, 기타지역 5 ppb)까지 검출 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 실제 측정사례로서 하수처리장과 랜더링사업장에서 채취된 시료를 분석한 결과 methyl amine, dimethyl amine, trimethyl amine, i-propyl amine의 4종류의 아민류가 검출되었다. 하수처리장 A의 최초 침전지와 탈수실에서는 trimethyl amine이 각각 9.07 ppb, 7.79 ppb로 악취세기 2.5를 넘는 농도로 검출되었고 하수처리장 B의 폭기조와 분뇨투입동, 분뇨처리장의 기계실에서는 모두 dimethyl amine과 trimethyl amine이 평균 70.0 ppb, 2.44 ppb로 검출되어 악취에 대한 기여가 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
