The main purpose of the present study is to evaluate a revolving plate type biofilter system for mass culture of eel(Anguilla japonica) based on the experimental rearing for 120 days (Oct. 1982-Feb. 1983). Water quality changes, growth efficiency of fish and fish disease treatment were critically evaluated. A revolving plate type biofilter system was designed(Fig. 1). The system consisted of a glass tank (150 l), a revolving plate biofilter and a settling tank(150 l). The biofilter consisted of 60 submerged quadriangular plates ($28{\times}37$ cm) and 30 revolving plates (32 cm diameter) for a total of 19.0 $m^2$ of surface area. The revolving plates were made to rotate 10 time per minute, The total water volume of the rearing system were 300 l, and everyday 1/3 of the total water volume were changed with freshly prepared water. In the rearing system a total of 2 kg of eel (1,500 individuals, mean weight:1.3 g) were reared fed on the pellet feed and the dough feed. The growth efficiency were much better for the pellet feed (FC: 1.79) compared to the dough feed (FC: 3.56). During the experimental rearing water quality control was satisfactory. Total ammonia concentrations were 0.38-0.59 ppm and nitrite concentration were 0.83-1.19 ppm. On the other hand alkalinity decreased from 176ppm just after the water change to 17ppm just before the water change. The low alkaline condition was compensated by the regular change of water. Epidemics of parasitic gill-flocks (Pseudodactvlogylus sp.) was observed, and they were easily eliminated by the treatment of DDVP (1.0 ppm). Trichodina sp. and Costia sp. were observed, and they were also controlled by the treatment of potassium permanganate (4.0 ppm).

The effects of different transient loading conditions on xylene removability and bacterial activity were evaluated in the polyurethane (PU) biofilter inoculated with Rhodococcus sp. EH831: BF1 (the control) was operated under continuous and constant loading ($200{\pm}50ppm$); BF2 under continuous and constant loading after a 2-week long-term shutdown; BF3 under discontinuous (8 h on/16 h off on weekdays and a 2 day-shutdown at weekends); and constant loading BF4 under discontinuous and high loading ($700{\pm}300ppm$); and BF5 under continuous and fluctuating loading (high loading for 8 h and low loading ($75{\pm}25ppm$) for 16 h on weekdays and low loading at weekends). Xylene removal efficiencies in the BF1, BF2, BF3, and BF5 were ranged 83-89%, indicating that 2-week long-term shutdown, intermittent or fluctuant loading condition did not significantly influence the biofilter performance. However, discontinuous and high load condition (BF4) caused to deteriorate xylene removability to 52%. Rhodococcus sp. EH831 could be maintained at $10^9{\sim}10^{10}CFU/g-dry$ PU under 5 kinds of loading conditions. The result of polymerase chain reaction-terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism showed that there was no significant change in bacterial community structures by different loading conditions.

본 연구는 폴리우레탄을 담체로 사용하고 자동교반장치가 장착된 pilot-scale의 바이오필터 (1$1750\;m\;W{\times}2750\;mm\;L{\times}2000\;mm\;H$)를 제약공정 현장에 설치하여 74일간 막힘현상 등 제반 문제없이 성공적으로 가동하였으며 제약공정에서 발생하는 가스에 함유된 핵산과 알코올류로 구성된 휘발성 유기 물질 (VOC)과 악취를 효율적으로 제거하였다. VOC 유입농도의 변화가 비교적 심한 조건임에도 불구하고 체류시간 $12.8{\sim}24.8$초의 가스공급조건에서 알코올류는 가동 5일후부터 90% 이상 100%에 근접하는 제거율을 보였고, n-핵산은 16일정도의 적응기를 지나서 평균 89%가 제거되었고 그 후 더욱 제거율이 증가하였다. 악취 또한 20일 이후부터는 95% 전후한 높은 제거효율을 나타내었다. 향후 적응기간 단축 등의 내용을 다소 보완하여 현장에 실규모 (full scale)로 적응이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The present work aims to use a biofilter technology(aerated submerged filters) for the aerobic transformation at laboratory-scale of olive washing water(OWW) generated in the first steps of olive oil processing, as well as the genetic profiling and identification to the species level of the bacteria involved in the formation of the biofilm, by means of TGGE. Chemical parameters, such as biological oxygen demand at five days($BOD_5$) and chemical oxygen demand(COD), decreased markedly(up to 90 and 85%, respectively) by the biological treatment, and the efficiency of the process was significantly affected by aeration and inlet flow rates. The total polyphenol content of inlet OWW was only moderately reduced(around 50% decrease of the inlet content) after the biofilter treatment, under the conditions tested. Partial 16S rRNA genes were amplified using total DNA extracted from the biofilm and separated by TGGE. Sequences of isolated bands were mostly affiliated to the $\alpha-subclass$ of Proteobacteria, and often branched in the periphery of bacteria] genera commonly present in soil(Rhizobium, Reichenowia, Agrobacterium, and Sphingomonas). The data obtained by the experimentation at laboratory scale provided results that support the suitability of the submerged filter technology for the treatment of olive washing waters with the purpose of its reutilization.

토양증기추출(Soil Vapor Extraction)법을 이용하여 대표적 휘발성 오염물질(VOCs)인 가솔린을 토양으로부터 제거하는 박스실험을 실시하였다. 아크릴수지로 제작된 65 cm${\times}$20 cm${\times}$30 cm 규모의 박스를 제작하여, 인공적인 토양 환경을 설정한 후, 직경 1 cm인 스테인레스 재질의 관에 0.2cm 간격으로 하부에서 15cm까지 스크린 된 스테인레스 재질의 주입정(2개)과 추출정(1개)을 설치하여 SVE를 실시하였으며, 추출정으로부터 배출되는 가스를 제거하는 후처리 공정을 연결하여 SVE로부터 배출되는 가스의 가솔린 농도와 후처리 공정 후 배출되는 가솔린 농도를 비교 분석하였다. 가솔린 100g을 토양 내 주입한 경우 0.03 L/min 조건의 박스실험에서는 SVE에 의해 약 560L (13일 경과) 가스 추출 후 주입된 가솔린의 95%가 제거되었으며, 주입 가솔린양이 250 g이고 추출 가스량이 0.2 L/min 조건에서는 약 1440L(5일 경과)가스 추출 후 주입 가솔린의 92% 이상이 제거되어, SVE가 토양 내 휘발성 오염물질을 제거하는데 매우 효과적인 방법임을 입증하였다. 가솔린으로 오염된 토양에서 SVE 공정으로부터 배출되는 가스를 과립상 활성탄 흡착탑과 바이오필터를 이용하여 제거하는 실험을 실시하였다. SVE로부터 배출된 가스의 후처리 공정으로 활성탄의 흡착탑을 이용한 제거 공정과 바이오필터를 이용한 제거 공정의 효율을, 후처리 공정으로 주입되는 가스내 가솔린량에 대한 운전 시간별 제거 효율로 나타내었다. 제거 효율은 후처리 공정에 주입되는 가솔린의 농도와 관계 없이 평균 94%의 높고 안정적인 효율을 나타내었고, 후처리 후 배출되는 가스의 농도 자체도 매우 낮게 나타남으로서, 실제 오염지역에서 토양증기추출법과 결합 된 하나의 VOCs 제거공정으로서 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 입증하였다. 활성탄 흡착탑과 바이오필터에 유입되는 가솔린의 부하량에 대한 제거 용량은, 주입되는 가솔린의 농도가 상당히 높음에도 불구하고 주입되는 가솔린의 농도가 높을수록 선형적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과들은 후처리 공정들이 SVE에서 배출되는 가스의 VOCs 농도가 다양한 환경에서도 광범위하게 적용할 수 있으며, 특히 고농도의 가스상을 처리하는 데에도 매우 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 입증한다.

This study is to discuss the factors influenced on the removal efficiency of a high-strength organic wastewaters investigated using the polypropyrene media which appropriate to attach microorganism in the tube type fixed biofilter reactor. The results obtained in the experiment were as follows: 1. The kinetics of reaction rate (k') were 0.125, 0.135, 0.155 varing initial COD 720, 1280, 1630 mg/l in batch reactor. 2. In the range of pH 4.0 ~12.0 was obtained the removal efficiency of COD higher than 85%. It was proved that variation of pH (4.0 ~12.0) was nothing to do with the removal efficiency of substrate in continuous reactor. 3. Temperature to obtain removal efficiency of COD higher than 85% was 10 ~ 40$\circ$C. Removal efficiency of COD was no less than those at high temperature. 4. In the continuous reactor, the volumetric loading of COD for removal efficiency higher than 95% had to be 0.5~1.5 kg COD/m$^3$.d below. And then the HRT was 8 hrs. 5. In comparison with the activated sludge process, the tube type fixed biofilter process was excellent in removal efficiency of substrate and sludge production rate.

Simultaneous removal of $NH_3,\;H_2S$ and toluene in a contaminated air stream was investigated over 185 days in a biofilter packed with Zeocarbon granule as microbial support. In this study, multi-microorganisms including Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter for nitrogen removal, Thiobacillus thioparus (ATCC 23645) for $H_2S$ removal, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15692), Pseudomonas putida (ATCC 17484) and Pseudomonas putida (ATCC 23973) for toluene removal were used simultaneously. The empty bed residence time (EBRT) was 40-120 seconds and the feed (inlet) concentrations of $NH_3,\;H_2S$ and toluene were 0.02-0.11, 0.05-0.23 and 0.15-0.21 ppmv, respectively. The observed removal efficiency was 85%-99% for $NH_3$, 100% for $H_2S$, and 20-90% for toluene, respectively. The maximum elimination capacities were 9.3, 20.6 and $17g/m^3/hr\;for\;NH_3,\;H_2S$ and toluene, respectively. The results of kinetic model analysis showed that there were no particular evidences of interactions or inhibitions among the microorganisms, and that the three bio degradation reactions took place independently within a finite area of biofilm developed on the surface of the Zeocarbon carrier.

Biofilter performance to reduce C $H_4$ emissions from MSW landfills was tested under a variety of environmental and design conditions. The optimum soil moisture content for C $H_4$ oxidation in a loamy sand was 13% by weight. The addition of N $O_3$-N did not affect the C $H_4$ oxidation rate. Soil depths of 30cm and 60cm were equally efficient in C $H_4$ oxidation. When the C $H_4$ loading rate was decreased, the percentage of C $H_4$ oxidized increased. The maximum C $H_4$ oxidation rate was 27.2 mol $m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$ under optimum conditions (loamy sand soil, 13% moisture content, 30cm soil depth, and an loading rate of 32.8 mol $m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$). Based on the above results, the installation of a properly sized and managed biofilter above a landfill cover should be capable of achieving a major reduction in atmospheric methane emissions from MSW landfills built with RCRA covers.
