Removal of malodorous gases from swine manure by a polyurethane biofilter inoculated with heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria was investigated. Ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and other gases could be efficiently treated at 3~3.6 second of empty bed retention time by the polyurethane biofilter. In the range of SV $200~l,200h^{-1}$ , the average removal efficiency of odor was about 89% when the odor unit of inlet gas was below 4100. Odor elimination capacity of the polyurethane biofilter was$ 1.8$\times$10^{5}$ $~5.0$\times$10^{7}$OUㆍm$^{-3}$ㆍ$h^{-1}$ that were 84~90% of the inlet load. The critical loads of $NH_3$ and $H_2$S, which mean 97% removal with respect to the inlet loads, were 31 and $27 g.m^{-3}$ ㆍ$h^{-1}$ , respectively. The maximum elimination capacities of $NH_3$ and $H_2$S were 56 and $157 gㆍm^{-3}$ ㆍh$^{-1}$ , respectively. Although the removability for$ NH_3$ and $H_2$S was not influenced by $H_2$S$NH_3$ ratio (ppmv/ppmv), the $H_2$S removability was inhibited by high $H_2$S concentration more than 80 ppmv.

The conventional activated sludge processes were operated as a combined organic substrate removal and nitrification. So, it was necessary to provide with oxygen for both carbon and ammonia removal. But, in the BNR processes, nitrification is separated from carbon removal that causes fast ammonia oxidation and reduced oxygen demands. And most of the substrate is utilized by denitrification organisms and phosphorus accumulating organisms. with these appearances, mathematical model for BNR processes different from IWA ASM can be simplified and applied. In this study, it was performed that the existing equations as McKinney model, nitrification model published by U.S. EPA and oxygen demands from stoichiometry and the relationship between NUR and OUR were applied to full-scale BNR processes and the results were compared with the measured. and it is possible to make out the optimum design parameter from those equations.

A submerged flat-sheet membrane separation system integrated with PAC (powdered activated carbon) was used in this research in order to investigate the effects of PAC on the efficiencies of operation and treatment and to evaluate the performance of the system. The experiments were carried out under operating conditions of a filtration rate of 0.38 m/d, water temperature of $20-28^{\circ}C$, and PAC dose of 0 g/L (Run-A) and 20 g/L (Run-B). The influent concentrations of TOC (total organic carbon), $NH_4{^+}-N$ (ammonia nitrogen) and $UV_{254}$ (UV absorbance at 254 nm) were 2.48 mg/L, 1.4 mg/L and 2.53 1/m, respectively. TOC removal of 43.2 and 73.6%, ammonia nitrogen removal of 4.9 and 15.9%, and $UV_{254}$ removal of 20.6 and 31.6% were obtained for Run-A and Run-B, respectively. During an experimental period of 33 days, no change was found in TMP (Run-B), but the TMP in Run-A increased by 5 kPa after 29 days. This research showed that the filtrate quality and the performance efficiency were enhanced when PAC was introduced into the filtration system.

This study was conducted to evaluate the odor reduction efficacy of the dip injection wet scrubber (DIWS) using tap water as washing fluid. The $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ removal efficiency of 7 day batch operated DIWS was evaluated twice over a total of 14 days of experiment. The $NH_3$ removal efficiency ranged from 26 to 37%. The $H_2S$ removal efficiency was between 22 and 30%. The pH of the washing fluid maintained below 8 and the $NH_4{^+}$ concentration tended to keep constant around 350 ppm after 5 days of washing-fluid replacement. Therefore, the 5-day washing fluid replacement interval is more preferable than the 7-day interval. The $NH_4{^+}$ concentration and the electrical conductivity (EC) showed a high correlation. The EC measurement can be used as an alternative to conventional $NH_4{^+}$ concentration measurement method for real time monitoring of washing fluid condition.

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor can be effective for treating simple organic compounds containing high concentration of ammonia nitrogen. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency was about 80% at ammonia nitrogen concentration up to 6,000 mg-N/L. This result also showed that it would be possible to treat propionate effectively at free ammonia nitrogen concentration up to 724 mg-N/L if sufficient time was allowed for adaptation. However the specific methanogenic activity (SMA) of granule was lower than that of granule in the reactor with lower ammonia nitrogen concentration. At 8,000 mg-N/L, the inhibition of high ammonia concentration was observed with evidence of increase of the volatile suspended solids (VSS) concentration in the effluent. It might be ascribed to the decrease in the content of extracellular polymer (ECP), which resulted to the sloughing off of obligated proton-reducing acetogens and heterogenotrophic methanogens from the exterior of granular sludge. This caused a great portion of the finely sludge to be easily washed out. Therefore, failure to maintain the balance between these two groups of microorganism cause accumulation of the hydrogen partial pressure in the reactor, which could have inhibited the growth of acetate utilizing methanogens.

돈분뇨 중의 악취 성분을 제거하는 동시에 퇴비의 C/N 비를 적정 수준으로 유지하기 위한 방안으로서 축산농가에 보급을 목적으로 pilot 장치를 제작하여 돈분뇨를 호기성 액비화 처리하기 이전에 암모니아 탈기공정 실험을 수행하였다. 암모니아 탈기를 위한 pH 조정을 $Ca(OH)_2$를 이용하였으며, NaOH에 비해 훨씬 현장 적용성이 용이한 것으로 파악되었다. 암모니아 탈기공정의 적정 pH를 도출하기 위해 각각 pH를 9.3, 10.9, 12.3 으로 조절하여 탈기실험을 수행한 결과 pH가 가장 높은 12.3에서 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 이때 반응온도는 $35^{\circ}C$이었다. 암모니아 탈기공정이 진행되는 동안 유리암모니아 질소의 가스상 암모니아로의 전환을 통해 발생되는 방출속도는 탈기공정 초기에는 $0.5355mole\;s^{-1}$ 이었고 탈기공정 후기에는 $0.0253mole\;s^{-1}$ 로 나타나, 주로 탈기공정 초기에 많은 양의 암모니아 가스가 방출되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 탈기공정중 C/N비 변화는 초기 돈분뇨 원수가 4.5이었고 탈기공정 초기에 6.3으로 증가한 이후에 점진적으로 증가하였다. 적정한 탈기를 위한 최적의 탈기시간은 TN과 TC의 회귀 곡선을 통해 C/N비가 6.5 부근인 약 48시간이 적합한 것으로 결론지었다. 탈기를 통해 돈분뇨 중의 암모니아성 질소성분은 79.6% 저감되었으며, 흡수액을 통해 배출된 암모니아가스의 81.3%를 제거하였다.

본 연구에서는 UASB 반응조를 이용한 슬러리형 돈사폐수의 혐기성 소화시 암모니아 부하의 영향을 평가하였다. UASB 반응조는 $0.02{\sim}0.96kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$ 범위의 NVLR로 운전되었으며, 정상상태에서 biogas내 메탄함량은 73.3~77.9%였다. FA 농도는 메탄생성미생물의 저해 범위까지 증가하였으나, 메탄함량을 고려할 때, FA와 TA로 인한 저해는 발생하지 않았다. NVLR이 증가함에 따라 COD 제거율은 악화되었으며, $0.55kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$ 이하의 부하에서 COD 제거율을 60% 이상으로 유지할 수 있었다. NVLR이 0.09에서 $0.96kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$로 증가함에 따라, biogas의 생성량은 3.71에서 9.14L/day로 증가하였으며, COD의 메탄으로 전환율은 0.32에서 $0.20m^3CH_4/kg$으로 감소하였다. FA농도, COD 제거율, 메탄생성률 등을 고려할 때, UASB 반응조는$0.40kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$ 이하의 NVLR로 운영되어야 한다.

The engineering aspect of water treatment processes in the recirculating aquaculture system was studied. To recycle the water in the aquaculture system, a wastewater treatment process was required to maintain high water quality for the growth and health of the cultured fish. In this study, three different biofilm processes were used to reduce the concentration of organic matters and ammonia from the recirculating water - two phase fluidized bed, three phase fluidized bed, and trickling filter. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the optimum treatment conditions of the biofilm processes for the recirculating aquaculture system, and thereby reduce the volume of biofilm processes, which are commonly used for the recycle water treatment processes for aquaculture. The result of this study showed that the removal efficiency of organic matters by trickling filter was found to be lower than that of the fluidized bed. In the trickling filter system, anthracite showed better organic removal efficiency than crushed stone as a media. In the two phase fluidized bed, the maximum removal efficiency of either organics or ammonia was obtained when both the packing rate of media was maintained to $40\%$ of total reactor depth excepting sediment zone and the bed expansion rate was maintained to $100\%$. When 100 tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) of each average 200g was reared, the pollutant production rate was 0.07g $NH_4\;^+-N/kg$ fish/day and 0.06g P04-3-P/kg fish/day, and sludge production rate was 0.39 g SS/kg fish/day. In the two phase and three phase fluidized bed, the volume of water treatment tank could be calculated from an empirical equation by using the relationship between the influent COD to $NH_4\;^+-N$ ratio (C/N, -), media concentration (Cm, g/L), influent ammonia nitrogen concentration (Ni, mg/L), effluent ammonia nitrogen concentration (Ne, mg/L), bed expansion rate $(E,\;\%)$, and influent flowrate $(Q,\;m^3/hr)$. The empirical equation from this study is $$V_2\;=\;10^{3.1279}\;C/N^{3.5461}\;C_m\;^{-3.7473}\;N_i\;^{4.6477}\;E^{0.0326}\;N_e\;^{-0..8849}\;Q\;(Two\;Phase\;FB) V_3\;=\;10^{11.7507}\;C/N^{-1.2330}\;C_m\;^{-6.5715}\;N_i\;^{1.5091}\;N_e\;^{-1.8489}\;Q (Three\;Phase\;FB)$$

생활 하수 및 농축산 폐수를 통한 하천으로의 다량의 질소와 인의 유입은 부영양화를 초래하여 하천 자정작용에 악영향을 끼친다. 본 연구에서는 컬럼 실험을 통한 흡착제(활성탄, 제올라이트, 여과사)의 여재층 높이에 따른 암모니아성 질소, 인산염 제거특성을 분석하고, 밀도범함수이론(density functional theory, DFT)를 바탕으로 한 양자역학적 전산 모사를 통해 흡착제와 암모니아성질소($NH_4{^{+}}$)와 인산염($PO_4{^{3-}}$)에 대한 화학적 흡착 거동을 분석하였다. 컬럼 실험 결과, 암모니아성 질소에 대한 제거효율은 제올라이트(95.1%)>활성탄(65.8%)>여과사(10.7%), 인산염의 제거효율은 활성탄(99.6%)>제올라이트(18.8%)>여과사(10.9%) 순으로 나타났다. 제올라이트의 경우, 여재층의 높이에 관계없이 90%이상의 암모니아성 질소에 대한 높은 흡착력을 가졌고, 활성탄의 경우 여재층의 높이가 증가할수록 인과 질소에 대한 높은 흡착효율을 가졌다. DFT를 이용한 흡착제(산화 알루미늄, 활성탄, 여과사)와 영양염류($PO_4{^{3-}}$, $NH_4{^{+}}$)에 대한 흡착거동 분석결과, 제올라이트는 암모니아성 질소($NH_4{^{+}}$)에 대한 높은 흡착에너지(-6.43 eV)를 가졌다. 활성탄의 경우 여과사보다 좁은 HOMO-LUMO 밴드갭을 가져, 전자 이동에 유리한 환경을 조성하여 높은 흡착에너지(-7.10eV)로 영양염류가 제거되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
