In this study, nitrogen doped graphene oxide (GO) was prepared using liquid phase ammonia treatment to improve its electrical properties. Also, the aminated GO was manufactured into a film format and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency was measured to evaluate its electrical properties. The XPS result showed that the increase of liquid phase ammonia treatment concentration led to the increased nitrogen functional group on the GO surface. The measurement of EMI shielding efficiency reveals that EMI shielding efficiency of the liquid phase ammonia treated GO was better than that of non-treated GO. When GO was treated using the ammonia solution of 21% concentration, the EMI shielding efficiency increased by -5 dB at higher than 2950 MHz. These results were maybe due to the fact that nitrogen functional groups on GO help to improve the absorbance of electromagnetic waves via facile electron transfer.

The rapid advancement of the high-tech electronics industry has led to a significant increase in high-concentration ammonia wastewater. Various methods have been attempted to reliably treat wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia, but no successful technology has yet been developed and applied. In this study, the removal efficiency and characteristics of ammonia nitrogen was evaluated according to changes in temperature, air loading rate, and liquid loading rate using a closed circulation countercurrent packed tower type demonstration facility for wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia generated in the high-tech electronics industry. The temperature was varied while maintaining operating conditions of a wastewater flowrate of 20.8 m³ h^-1 and an air flow rate of 18,000 Nm³ h^-1. The results showed that at temperatures of 45,50,55, and 60℃, the removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) were 87.5%, 93.4%, 96.8%, and 98.7%, respectively. It was observed that temperature had the most significant impact on the removal efficiency of NH₃-N under these conditions. As the air loading rate increases, the removal rate also increases, but the increase in removal efficiency is not significant because droplets from the absorption tower flow into the stripping tower. Even if the liquid loading rate was changed by ±30%, the removal rate did not change significantly. This does not mean that the removal rate was unaffected, but was believed to be due to the relatively high air load rate. Through demonstration research, it was confirmed that ammonia stripping is a reliable technology that can stably treat high-concentration ammonia wastewater generated in the high-tech electronics industry.

Water-bloom and red tide due to eutrophication have been overgrown and have caused various environmental problems. Recently, however, research on bid-diesel that can utilize algae as an energy source has been actively carried out. In particular, many studies variously have been conducted to utilize algal photosynthesis oxygen as a supply method for reducing the energy by an air blower in MWTP. In this study, a lab scale algae-nitrification reactor was operated to replace the oxygen required for nitrogen removal and the operation period was largely divided into three sections. In the first section, ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency was 24 ~ 38% according to the MLSS (Mixed Liquer Suspended Solid) concentration. In the second section, ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency was 38 ~ 50% according to the micro-algae concentration and in the last section ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency was 61 ~ 80% according to HRT (Hydraulic Retention Time). As a result, as the MLSS decreased and algae biomass increased, the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency tended to increase, but the effect of Algae biomass was greater than that of MLSS.

Styrofoam beads, which are relatively inexpensive and can provide a large specific surface area, were tested as filter media. Styrofoam beads with a diameter of $3{\pm}0.5mm$ were used; the specific surface area of the beads was $1,034m^2{\cdot}m^{-3}$. Five independent recirculating culture systems were used in the experiment. Each system consisted of one culture tank and three trickling bio-filters. Using the systems, nitrification efficiency was evaluated with respect to hydraulic loading rate (HLR) and carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio. The lowest ammonia and nitrogen concentrations were $0.84mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $1.30mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively, observed at an HLR of $50.9m^3{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}h^{-1}$. Nitrification efficiency in the culture tank was highest at a C/N ratio of 0, with ammonia and nitrite nitrogen concentrations of $0.32mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $0.90mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. Ammonia and nitrite nitrogen concentrations in the culture tank abruptly changed at C/N ratios ${\geq}3$.

Nitrification reaction consists of two reactions: nitritification which oxidizes ammonia nitrogen to nitrite nitrogen and nitratification which oxidizes nitrite nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen. Each reaction is carried out by Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, respectively. The effective maximum growth rates for both bacteria have to be determined to design aeration tank whenever the aeration tanks have to nitrify ammonia nitrogen in influent. And these values are very important to use mathematical models such as IAWPRC model to simulate nitrification in activated sludge. There are several methods to determine these valves, however, the Fed-Batch experiments can determine these values within 72 hours. In this study, the mathematical equations and experimental procedures for Fed-Batch test are presented. Also, the experimental data and reported values are compared. The estimated mean values of maximum specific growth rates for Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are $0.5010day^{-1}$ and $0.6704day^{-1}$, respectively.

The nitrogen assimilation rate of nitrogenous nutrients by reservior phytoplankton was masured in the in situ condition in the euphotic layer of Lakes Soyang, Chuncheon and Uiam located on the upper reaches of the North Han River System in August, 1983, Korea. The assimilation rate of ammonia, nitrate and urea nitrogen in surface water was 13, 2 and $13{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:10~18:15)^{-1}$ in Lake Soyang, 325, 27 and $59{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:30~18:30)^{-1}$ in Lake Chuncheon, and 174, 12 and $45{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:30~19:30)^{-1}$ in Lake Uiam. Ammonia and urea were perferntially utilized by reservoir phytoplankton. The dark/light ratios of nitrate assimilation were much lower than those of ammonia and urea assimilation of nitrate showed little contribution. The primary productuin was estimated as 59mg $C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 6.9mg $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Spyang, 217mg C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 26mg N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Chuncheon, and 110mg C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 13mg N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Uiam, with production ratios of 8.6, 8.4 and 8,4, respectively. The turnover time o ammonia and urea in the upper euphotic layer was 2 to 47 days and 4 to 38 days, respectively. Nitrate required much longer periods. In the euphotic layer of reservoirs, ammonia and urea played signigicant roles in the biogeoKDICical nitrogen metabolism.

Lab-scale experiments have been carried out to investigate ammonia stripping with a modified spray tower for removing ammonia nitrogen from swine wastewater. The operating conditions such as initial pH, temperature, air flow, hole size of distributor determining the diameter of water drops, and influent solids concentration were closely examined focusing on removal efficiency of ammonia. As a result of the experiment, in order to achieve high rate of ammonia removal by the air stripping system, the air flow rate must be supplied at high rate with sufficiently high initial pH, temperature. The optimum operating condition to meet the residual ammonia concentration of 300 mg/L was the initial pH of 11.0 at $35^{\circ}C$ with the air flow rate of 20 L/min. It also showed that the smaller hole size is, the higher removal rate of ammonia is expected. However, when used a small sized distributor (2 mm), the flooding problem at the upper column occurred due to clogging of the hole. With regard to the influent solids concentration, it was showed that the lower concentration of solids, the higher removal rate of ammonia. The removal of particulate materials in influent led to improve the removal efficiency of ammonia, rather than to control the operating condition including initial pH, temperature, and air flow. The empirical correlation between KLa and operating parameters would be driven as, $K_{La}=(0.0003T-0.0047){\cdot}G^{0.3926}{\cdot}L^{-0.5169}{\cdot}C^{-0. 1849}$. The calculated $K_{La}$ from proposed formula can be used effectively to estimate the optimum reaction time and to calculate the volume of modified spray tower system.
