본 연구에서는 음식물퇴비에서 발생되는 악취물질 중 암모니아 가스를 탈취제를 사용하여 제거하는 실험을 진행하였다. 이를 위해 탈취제로 죽초액(bamboo smoke distillate, BSD)을 사용하여 첨가량과 반응시간에 따른 변화를 반응표면분석법을 통해 최적점을 도출하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 사용한 분석 범위내에서는 음식물퇴비(food waste compost, FWC) 600 g 당 죽초액 74 mL (0.123 mL BSD/g FWC)를 첨가하고 3시간 반응하였을 때 제거량(8.47 ppm $NH_3$/600g FWC)이 가장 높았다. 탈취제로 식초를 사용하였을 때의 암모니아 제거량보다 죽초액을 사용하였을 때 암모니아 제거량이 높았다(p < 0.05).

Ammonia is a major compound of odor in livestock house. To enhance the performance of ammonia oxidation (decomposition). the gas-liquid, two phase photocatalytic oxidation system was designed and prepared in this study. Commercial P-25 as $TiO_2$ catalyst was used for ammonia decomposition. V/P-25 catalyst prepared by sol gel method was also used for the removal of by-producted $NO_x$ in $NH_3$ oxidation reaction. When $TiO_2$ was used as a photocatalyst, the conversion to $N_2$ in ammonia decomposition reached above 90% until 200hr (The air flow rate of 4L/min with the ammonia concentration up to 25ppm.). However, considerable amounts of NO and $NO_2$ were formed as a result of $NH_3$ oxidation (as a by-product). Therefore, we added Vanadia impregnated $TiO_2$(P-25) catalyst for the removal of $NO_x$ at the end of reaction trail. The results of a pilot-scale operation were successful to achieve the simultaneous removal of $NH_3\;and\;NO_x$ about 81 and 87%, respectively.

본 연구에서는 염소류 산화물질 가운데 가장 반응성이 크고 인체에 무해하며 트리할로메탄 등 독성물질 생성의 염려가 없는 차아염소산수를 이용하여 수족관 해양 동물의 사육수내 존재하는 암모니아의 제거를 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 암모니아 제거에 필요한 차아염소산수 용액의 주입농도는 시료 내 암모니아 농도에 따라 달라졌으며, 차아염소산수대 암모니아의 농도비율이 8.5 ~ 9.0에서 30분간 반응시 약 90%의 제거효율을 보였고, 농도비율이 9.8 ~ 10.1에서 100% 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 반응시간에 따른 제거효율은 농도비율 9.0 ~ 10.0대에서 대부분 10분내에 90%이상을 제거하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 해수 내 암모니아 제거를 위한 적정 차아염소산수의 주입농도와 비율, 반응시간 등을 선정하여 수질을 정화함으로써 대형수족관내 해양생물들의 보호 및 관리에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Treatability tests were conducted using EMC process to study the feasibility of applying this process as recycling-water treatment system in high density seawater aquaculture farm. To study the effect of organic and ammonia nitrogen loading on system performance, hydraulic retention time of reactor was reduced gradually from 12hr to 10min. The conclusions are can be summarized as follows. When the system HRT was reduced from 12hr to 10 min gradually, there was little noticeable change(reduction) in ammonia nitrogen removal efficiencies until 2hr of HRT, however, removal efficiencies were decreased dramatically when the system was operated under the HRT of less than 2hr. In case of organics(COD), there was no dramatic deterioration in removal efficiencies depending on HRT reduction. More than 90% of removal efficiencies were maintained successfully when the system was operated at the HRT of 10 min. In case of system performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor, there was little difference in each reactor performance depending on media packing ratio in reactor when the reactors were operated under the HRT of longer than 1hr, however, differences in reactor performances were considerably evident when the reactors were operated under the HRT of shorter than 1hr. That is, the more reactor was packed, the better reactor performed. When comparing reactor performance among 25%, 50%, 75% packed reactor, it can be judged that media packing ratio more than 50% plays no significant role in increasing reactor performance. For this reason, packing the media less than 50% is more reasonable way in view of economic. Such a tendency well agreed with the variation of ammonia-nitrogen removal efficiencies according to the media packing ratio in reactors at each HRT. Difference in effluent ammonia-nitrogen concentration between 50% media packing reactor and 75% media packing reactor was negligible. When comparing with the results of 25% packing reactor, difference was not so great.

퇴비공장 또는 공공시설에서 발생되는 악취폐가스의 대표적인 제거대상 오염원인 황화수소와 암모니아를 포함한 악취폐가스를 처리하기 위하여 여러 운전 조건 하에서 바이오필터와 광촉매반응기로 구성된 semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템을 운전하였다. 황화수소 및 암모니아를 동시 처리하는 바이오필터시스템에서는 황화수소의 처리성능과 다르게 암모니아의 처리성능은 암모니아만을 처리하는 바이오필터시스템보다 훨씬 떨어졌다. Semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템의 황화수소와 암모니아에 대한 제거효율은 각각 약 83% 및 약 65% 정도이었다. 따라서 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템의 경우보다 황화수소 및 암모니아에 대한 제거효율은 각각 4 및 30% 정도 증가하였다. 또한 황화수소와 암모니아의 동시제거를 할 때에 황화수소와 암모니아의 최대 제거용량은 각각 약 60 및 $37g/m^3/h$이었다. 따라서 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템의 경우보다 황화수소 및 암모니아에 대한 최대 제거용량은 각각 약 9.1%와 약 23.3% 증가하였다. 그러므로 본 semi-pilot 하이브리드시스템은 semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템을 기준으로 황화수소보다 암모니아의 제거율과 최대 제거용량 제고에 더욱 기여하였다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a pilot scale bio-filter system removing ammonia gas with microorganisms. The system consisted of chaff(filter medium), a blower, a temperature sensor, a moisture sensor, a solenoid valve, and a heating system. Temperature and moisture contents were controlled via a PC to provide the microorganisms with proper environment. The microorganisms used in this study were Bacillius. coagulans NLRI T-6 and Pseudononas. putida NLRI S-21 of bacilli. Performance tests were performed to evaluate gas removal rate during 20 days. The result was shown that the removal rate was high in early days and gradually dropped below 90% without injecting the microbes. However, it was shown that when injecting the microbes, the removal rate was almost 100% and pH value was maintained at between 7 and 9 during the whole twenty-day period.

This study investigated the effect of high concentration of free ammonia on microalgal growth and substrate removal by applying real wastewater nitrogen ratio. To test of this, the conditions of free ammonia 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 mg-N/L are compared. After 3 days of incubation, algal growth of Chlorella vulgaris and carbon removal rate are respectively lower in the reactors of FA 12, 15 mg-N/L compared to the others. This indicates that the high concentration of free ammonia, in this case, above 12 mg-N/L, has negative effect on algal growth and metabolic activity. Also, high concentration of free ammonia causes the proton imbalance, ammonium accumulation in algae and has toxicity for these reasons. So, we have to consider free ammonia in applying the microalgae to wastewater treatment system by the way of diluting wastewater or controlling pH and temperature.

공기 폭기법을 통해 암모니아를 제거함에 있어, 반응조의 물리적 인자(폭기 깊이, 공기 방울 크기, 표면적)와 알칼리도가 암모니아의 제거 속도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 30 L/min의 공기를 6~53 cm의 폭기 깊이로 실험한 결과, 폭기 깊이는 암모니아 제거 속도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. pH가 10.0, 온도가 $30^{\circ}C$에서 암모니아의 제거 속도 상수와 표준편차는 각각 $0.175h^{-1}$, 0.004로 나타났다. 공기 방울의 크기 및 공기상과 접촉하는 수표면의 표면적은 제거 속도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 폐수의 알칼리도는 암모니아 제거 속도에 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 폭기에 의해 이산화탄소가 수용액에 용존되어 pH를 변화시킬 수 있기 때문인 것으로 예상된다. 매립지와 하수 종말 처리장에서 채취한 실제 폐수를 대상으로 암모니아 제거 속도를 살펴보았다. 하수 원수(pH = 7.1, alkalinity = 75 mg/L)의 경우, pH를 9.3으로 조절하여도 암모니아 제거 속도가 크게 증가하지 않았다. 그러나, 알칼리도가 높은 침출수 원수(pH = 8.0, alkalinity = 6,525 mg/L)는 초기 pH가 낮음에도 불구하고, 공기 폭기에 따른 pH 상승으로 인해 암모니아 제거 속도가 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 침출수 원수의 pH를 9.4로 조절한 경우, 하수 원수와 달리 공기 폭기에 따른 pH 저하가 나타나지 않아 암모니아 제거 속도가 유지 되었다.

Packed-bed reactor for removing ammonia was tested at different loading rates. Nitrifiers for ammonia removing was encapsulated in gel media which consisted of polyethlene glycol, alginate and activated carbon. The removal efficiency was nearly 100% when ammonia loading was $12g/m^3/hr$, and the maximum elimination capacity (EC) achieved on this study was $18g/m^3/hr$. The initial microbial portion of nitrifiers in the media was about 82% and it was increased to more than 90% at the end of the operation. Short-term shock loading test was carried out to survey the stability of the media. The inlet loading rates were varied from 2 to $20g/m^3/hr$. The packed-bed reactor overcame the shock loading i.e. removal efficiency recovered rapidly from about 80% to almost 100% within 6 hrs. The results of Live/Dead cell test showed that nitrifiers maintained there activity in the encapsulated media during the test and also against ammonia shock load.

Submerged filter process was used to evaluate the nitrifying efficiency of ammonia in the recycling water of marine aquatic culture system. The ammonia removal efficiency was achieved as high as $99\%$ at the hydraulic surface loading rate of up to $4.3{\ell}/m^2-day$. And the nitrite accumulation did not occur in the reactor even when the hydraulic surface loading rate of up to $36.8{\ell}/m^2day$ was applied. In the present study, the relationship between the effluent ammonia concentration and ammonia surface loading rate was formulated as an equation. The attachment rate of biofilm on the filter media at the ammonia surface loading rate of 62.3 and $311.7mg/m^2day$ was 15 and $55mg/m^2-day$, respectively, showing the linear relationship between the attachment rate and ammonia loading rates. Biofilm thickness and density of the filter media were found to be the function of the ammonia loading rate.
