The principal aim of this field study was to determine the concentrations and emissions of gaseous contaminants such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the different types of pig buildings in Korea and allow objective comparison between Korea and the other countries in terms of pig housing types. This field study was performed from May to June and from September to October in 2002. Pig buildings investigated in this research were selected in terms of three criteria; manure removal system, ventilation mode and growth stage of pig. Measurements of concentration and emission of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the pig buildings were done in 5 housing types and the visited farms were 15 sites per each housing type. Concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were measured at three locations of the central alley in the pig building and emission rates of them were estimated by multiplying the average concentration($mg/m^3$) measured near the air outlet by the mean ventilation rate($m^3/h$) and expressed either per pig of liveweight 75kg(mg/h/pig) or per area($mg/h/m^2$). Concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in the pig buildings were averaged to 7.5 ppm and 286.5 ppb and ranged from 0.8 to 21.4 ppm and from 45.8 to 1,235 ppb, respectively. The highest concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were found in the mechanically ventilated buildings with slats; 12.1 ppm and 612.8 ppb, while the lowest concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were found in the pig buildings with deep-litter bed system(2.2 ppm) and the naturally ventilated pig buildings with manure removal system by scraper(115.2 ppb), respectively(p<0.05). All the pig buildings were investigated not to exceed the threshold limit values(TLVs) of ammonia(25 ppm) and hydrogen sulfide(10 ppm). The mean emissions of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide per pig(75kg in terms of liveweight) and area($m^2$) from pig buildings were 250.2 mg/h/pig and 37.8 mg/h/pig and $336.3mg/h/m^2$ and $50.9mg/h/m^2$, respectively. The pig buildings with deep-litter bed system showed the lowest emissions of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide(p<0.05). However, the emissions of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide from the other pig buildings were not significantly different(p>0.05). Concentrations and emissions of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were relatively higher in the pig buildings managed with deep-pit manure system with slats and mechanical ventilation mode than the different pig housing types. In order to prevent pig farm workers from adverse health effect caused by exposure to ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in pig buildings, they should wear the respirators during shift and be educated sustainably for the guideline related to occupational safety.

본 연구에서는 퇴비공장 또는 공공시설에서 발생되는 악취폐가스의 대표적인 제거대상 오염원인 암모니아의 효율적 처리를 위하여, 여러 운전 조건 하에서 동 부피의 폐타이어담체와 compost를 충전하고 반송슬러지를 고정한 바이오필터의 암모니아 제거 특성을 조사하고 바이오필터공정의 적정운전조건을 구축하였다. 암모니아를 함유한 폐가스의 처리를 위하여 바이오필터를 30일(2회/1일의 회수로 총 60회 실험) 동안 약 $30^{\circ}C$의 온도조건 하에서 암모니아부하를 $2.18g-N/m^3/h$부터 $70g-N/m^3/h$ 까지 증가시키면서 운전하였다. 바이오필터를 가동하여 I부터 IV 단계까지는 암모니아 제거율이 거의 100%로서, 암모니아부하가 $17g-N/m^3/h$에 이르기까지 거의 모든 암모니아가 제거되었으나, 바이오필터 운전 V 단계에서 암모니아부하를 약 $35g-N/m^3/h$로 증가시켰을 때에 암모니아제거율은 약 80% 정도로 급락하여 암모니아 제거용량이 약 $28g-N/m^3/h$이었다. 그러나 바이오필터 운전 VI 단계에서 암모니아부하를 약 $70g-N/m^3/h$로 두 배로 증가시켰을 때에도 암모니아제거율은 80%를 유지하여 최대암모니아 제거용량이 약 $55g-N/m^3/h$에 달하였다. 이와 같이 본 연구의 최대 암모니아 제거용량은, 분뇨슬러지를 유기담체인 rock wool에 접종하고 Kim 등에 의하여 수행된 바이오필터실험의 최대 암모니아 제거용량인 $1,200g-N/m^3/day$(i.e., $50g-N/m^3/h$)보다 다소 우월하였다. 그러나 본 연구의 암모니아 질소 임계부하는 Kim 등에 의하여 수행된 바이오필터실험의 암모니아 질소의 임계부하인 $810g-N/m^3/day$(i.e., $33.75g-N/m^3/h$)에 미치지 못하였다. 본 연구의 최대 암모니아 제거용량이 Kim 등보다 우월한 이유는 Kim 등에 의하여 사용된 미생물담체보다 본 연구에서 사용한 미생물담체인 폐타이어담체의 코코넛 활성탄분말로 도포된 표면 및 발달된 내부공극이 각각 질산화 및 탈질 미생물이 고정화되기 더욱 쉬운 환경을 제공하기 때문이라고 사료된다.

Previously we developed a CHO cell line (CHO-OTC1-A19) expressing the first two enzymes of urea cycle. This cell line showed higher ammonia removal activity and faster growth rate than the vector controlled CHO cells (CHO-neo-5). The purpose of this study was to develop a cell line with higher ammonia removal activity than the cell line developed previously. To accomplish this, we constructed stable CHO cell lines expressing the first three, the first four, or all five enzymes of urea cycle by the stable transfection method. We finally selected CHO-AL-19 cell line expressing the first three, the first four enzymes of the cycle with higher ammonia activity than CHO-OTC1-A19 and CHO-n대-5 cell lines: 40% and 15% higher than those of CHO-neo-5 and CHO-OTC1-A19 cell lines 72 hour after culture started, respectively. It also showed 44% and 10% higher cell viability than CHO-neo-5 and CHO- OTC1-A19 cell lines at higher cell density. In addition, CHO-AL-19 cells showed 45%-60% and about 20% lower ammonia concentration per cell than those of CHO-neo-% and CHO-OTC1-A19 cell lines, respectively. These results indicate that CHO-AL-19 could be used in the production of human therapeutic proteins with higher efficiency.

In this study, the influencing factors for efficient anaerobic digestion of high strength ammonia-nitrogen wastewater removal were investigated by testing biochemical methane potential test. In the influencing factors, the trace metals which could increase activity of anaerobic microorganisms, microbial concentration and types were evaluated. In the results, trace metals supplementation showed gas production amount higher than those without addition of trace metals. Among the tested trace metals, B, Ni, and Se were preferable to gas production. In the result of gas production according to the microbial concentration, the amount of gas production was proportional to the microbial concentration. In addition, the shortest lag time and the fastest gas production rate were achieved when the highest microbial concentration was tested. granule-type microorganism produced more gas than suspended-type microorganism. In conclusion, the efficient anaerobic digestion for high strength ammonia-nitrogen wastewater removal could be achieved by applying necessary trace metals injection and high concentration granule type microorganism.

Removal of nitrogen compound from waste water is essential and often accomplished by biological process. To prevent washout and to develop an efficient bioreactor, immobilization of sutibal microorganisms could be sensible approach. Strains and permeabilized cell encapsulated in cellulose nitrate microcapsules and immobilized on polystyrene films were prepared by the method described in the previous study. In the wastewater treatment system, nitrification of ammonia component is generally known as rate controlling step. To enhance the rate of nitrification, firstly nitrifying strains Nitrosomonas europaea(IFO14298), are permeabilized chemically, and immobilized on polystyrene films and secondly oxidation rates of strain system and permeabilized strain system are compared in the same condition. with 30 minute permeabilized cells, it took about 25 hours to oxidize 70% of ammonia in the solution, while it took about 40 hours to treat same amount of ammonia with untreated cells. All the immobilization procedures did not harm to the enzyme activity and no mass transfer resistance through the capsule well was shown. In the durability test of immobilized system, the system showed considerable activity for the repeated operation for 90 days. With these results, the system developed in this study showed the possibility to be used in the actual waste water treatment system.

Nitrate is a common contaminant in industrial wastewater and ground water. The maximum contaminant level set by EPA for nitrate of 10 mg/L as N. In this study, nitrate was removed using bipolar ZVI packed bed electrolytic cell that maximized the contact area between each electrode and contaminants under 600 V. Also this study investigates the simultaneously deals with removal of ammonia by operating air stripping tower. In addition to the air stripping also helped to precipitate iron ions to the form of iron oxides. Bipolar ZVI packed bed electrolytic cell was also effective in removing coliform by electrical power. In the continuous experiments for the simulated wastewater (initial nitrate for 25 mg/L as N), maximum 96.3% removal of nitrate was achieved in the applied 600 V at the flow rate of 6 mL/min.

배가스 이산화탄소 처리를 위한 화학적 흡수공정의 새로운 흡수제로서 암모니아수의 적용 가능성을 고찰하였다. 이산화탄소 흡수용량과 침전 발생의 관점에서 적합한 암모니아수 흡수제 농도와 $CO_2$ 부하(loading, $molCO_2/molNH_3$)를 결정하였다. 이를 위하여 전해액에 대한 Pitzer 모델을 이용하여 암모니아 흡수제 농도에 따른 흡수용량과 침전 발생여부를 계산하였다. $5\;molNH_3/kgH_2O$ 이상의 암모니아수 흡수제를 사용하여 기존 아민류 흡수제 이상의 흡수용량은 얻을 수 있었다. 각 암모니아 흡수제 농도에서 $NH_4HCO_3$ 침전의 발생으로 인하여 조업이 제약되는 $CO_2$ 부하를 구하였다. $5{\sim}14\;molNH_3/kgH_2O$의 암모니아 흡수제는 293, 313 K에서 $CO_2$ 부하 0.5 이상에서 침전이 발행하였다. 침전 생성 $CO_2$ 부하값 이하로 흡수탑을 조업함으로써 고농도 암모니아 흡수제가 배가스 $CO_2$ 처리 공정에 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 흡수용량과 침전발생을 고려하여 배가스 이산화탄소 처리를 위한 흡수제 최적온도는 암모니아수 농도에 따라 297~312 K이었다.

목질계 바이오매스인 옥수수대 전처리를 위하여 고안된 순환식 암모니아 전처리 반응기(Ammonia Circulation Reactor (ACR))를 이용하여 연구하였다. 이 전처리 방법은 적은 양의 액체를 사용하도록 고안되었으며 이 연구에선 기존의 전처리 공정보다 낮은 전처리 온도($60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$), 반응시간(4~12 hour) 그리고 고체:액체 비율(1:3~1:8) 등의 공정 조건을 실험 하여 효과를 비교하였다. 즉 여러 공정 조건에서 전처리 후 고형물의 잔류 고체량, 당, Lignin 함량, 그리고 효소당 화율 등을 측정하였다. 여러 실험 조건에서 공통적으로 관찰된 것은 전처리 조건이 더 가혹해 지면 Lignin의 제거율이 가장 큰 영향을 받았으며, 47.6~70.6% 범위로 나타났다. 반면 다른 당(Glucan, Xylan)은 손실이 비교적 작게 나타났다. 모든 실험 조건에서, 전처리된 고형물의 Glucan 손실율은 4.7~15.2% 범위로 변화가 크지 않았으며 Xylan 손실율은 여러 조건의 변화에 따라 7.4~25.8% 정도 범위로 나타났다. 암모니아 순환 전처리로 8~12 hour 동안 처리된 옥수수대는 90.1~94.5%의 높은 72-h Glucan 당화율을 (15 FPU-GC220+30 CBU)/g-glucan의 효소 투입으로 나타냈으며 순수 Cellulose인 Avicel의 당화율(92.7%)과 비슷하거나 높았다. 또한 8~12 hour 처리된 옥수수대의 초기 24-h Glucan 당화속도는 73.0~79.4%로 Avicel의 같은 시간 당화율인 69.5% 보다 높게 나타났다. 반응시간을 증가는 보다 많은 Lignin을 제거하였으며 따라서 효소 당화율 증가에 기인한 것으로 보인다.
