Azotobacter vinelandii, a strict aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacterium, has been extensively studied with regard to the ability of $N_2$-fixation due to its high expression of nitrogenase and fast growth. Because nitrogenase can also reduce cyanide to ammonia and methane, cyanide degradation by A. vinelandii has been studied for the application in the bioremediation of cyanide-contaminated wastewater. Cyanide degradation by A. vinelandii in NFS (nitrogen-free sucrose) medium was examined in terms of cell growth and cyanide reduction, and the results were applied for cyanide-contaminated cassava mill wastewater. From the NFS medium study in the 300 ml flask, it was found that A. vinelandii in the early stationary growth phase could reduce cyanide more rapidly than the cells in the exponential growth phase, and 84.4% of cyanide was degraded in 66 h incubation upon addition of 3.0 mM of NaCN. The resting cells of A. vinelandii could also reduce cyanide concentration by 90.4% with 3.0 mM of NaCN in the large-scale (3 L) fermentation with the same incubation time. Finally, the optimized conditions were applied to the cassava mill wastewater bioremediation, and A. vinelandii was able to reduce the cyanide concentration by 69.7% after 66 h in the cassava mill wastewater containing 4.0 mM of NaCN in the 3 L fermenter. Related to cyanide degradation in the cassava mill wastewater, nitrogenase was the responsible enzyme, which was confirmed by methane production. These findings would be helpful to design a practical bioremediation system for the treatment of cyanide-contaminated wastewater.

One of the methods of removing cyanide from wastewater is surface adsorption. We simulated the removal of cyanide from a synthetic wastewater in the presence of Titanium dioxide nano-particles absorbent uses VISUAL MINTEQ 3.1 software. Our aim was to determine the factors affecting the adsorption of cyanide from synthetic wastewater applying simulation. Synthetic wastewater with a concentration of 100 mg/l of potassium cyanide was used for simulation. The amount of titanium dioxide was 1 g/l under the temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. The simulation was performed using an adsorption model of Freundlich and constant capacitance model. The results of simulation indicated that three factors including pH, nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and the primary concentration of cyanide affect the adsorption level of cyanide. The simulation and experimental results had a good agreement. Also by increasing the pH level of adsorption increases 11 units and then almost did not change. An increase in cyanide concentration, the adsorption level was decreased. In simulation process, rising the concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles to 1 g/l, the rate of adsorption was increased and afterward no any change was observed. In all cases, the coefficient of determination between the experimental data and simulation data was above 0.9.

도금폐수의 처리는 폐수의 pH, 중금속 및 시안(CN)함유에 따라 다양하고 복잡한 공정이 적용된다. 이중 시안(CN)의 처리는 차아염소산(NaOCl)을 이용한 알칼리 염소 처리법이 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N)와 시안(CN)이 동시에 함유될 경우 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N)의 처리를 위해 차아염소산(NaOCl) 이 과다하게 소비되는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구는 시안(CN)처리에 있어서 1) 알칼리염소법에서 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N)농도에 따른 차아염소산(NaOCl)의 소모량을 조사하고 2) ferrate (VI)가 시안(CN)을 선택적으로 처리할 수 있는지를 평가하였다. 모의폐수를 이용한 실험결과 알칼리염소법에서는 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N)농도가 높을수록 시안(CN)의 제거율이 감소하였으며 차아염소산(NaOCl)의 소비량이 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N) 농도에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다. Ferrate (VI)를 이용한 시안(CN) 제거에서는 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N) 농도에 관계없이 시안(CN)의 제거를 확인하였으며 이때 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N)의 제거율은 낮아 ferrate (VI)가 시안(CN)을 선택적으로 제거함을 확인하였다. Ferrate (VI)의 시안(CN) 제거효율은 pH가 낮을수록 높게 나타났고 ferrate (VI) 주입량에 관계없이 99% 이상을 보였다. 실제 도금폐수에 적용한 결과에서는 ferrate (VI)와 시안(CN)의 투입 몰비 1:1에서 99% 이상의 높은 제거율을 보였으며 이는 화학양론 반응식의 몰비와 일치하는 결과로 모의 폐수와 동일하게 암모니아성 질소(NH₃-N) 및 기타오염물질이 함유된 실제 폐수에서도 선택적으로 시안(CN)을 제거하는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study based on electro-coagulation & oxidation reaction is applied to wastewater treatment. Electro-oxidation reaction is used to remove cyanide(CN) which is contained in plating wastewater. Cyanide is transferred by gases such as $NH_3,\;NO_x,\;CO_2$. Analysis result and removal efficiency of Cyanide which is contained in heavy metal wastewater of plating plant, are shown as following paragraph. In electrode arrangement experiment, removal efficiency of carbon electrode(-)/STS316L electrode(+) arrangement method is superior to carbon electrode(-)/carbon electrode(+) arrangement method. Removal efficiencies of cyanide in different HRT such as 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 75 min and 90 min are 85.5%, 93.1%, 98.0%, 98.7% and 99.4% respectively in carbon electrode(-)/STS316L electrode(+) arrangement method. Finally we can estimate the critical point at HRT of 60 min which the variation of removal efficiency is decreased and HRT to obtain removal efficiency of less than 1 mg/LCN is minimum 90 min.

A modified procedure for electroplating wastewater treatment using formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide can destroy free cyanide. The representative diagram which is quite sensitive on reaction temperature is showed for this kinds of treatment. Principally free cyanide and some kinds of cyanide complex should be treated first, and then toxic heavy metals can be removed because cyanide component will be inhibited to remove other pollutants, if it is not destroyed perfectly. Formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide are added in controlled amounts to cyanide treatment tank. Reasonable amounts of these chemicals are (HCHO/CN)=0.9 and ($H_2O_2/CN$)=1.1 in molar ratios, it is also variable on reaction temperature. Of course, actual treatment processes depending on plating material and chemical are good applicable, also to systematize operation manual for treating electroplating wastewater process, further works are desirable.

전세계적으로 시안화법은 일차 광물 혹은 정광으로부터 금을 회수하기 위해 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 이 공정에서 발생하는 다량의 유독한 잔사 및 시안 함유 폐액은 주변 환경 및 생태계에 심각한 문제를 야기할 수 있어 그 사용에 대해 문제가 제기되어 왔으므로 시안화법 이용 시 반드시 시안 함유 폐액의 적절한 처리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 금광으로부터 금을 회수하기 위한 습식제련공정인 시안화법과 연계하여 시안 처리 공정을 설계하기 위한 기초연구로서 금 제련에 사용되는 시안화합물의 사용, 규제 및 처리 기술의 국내외 현황을 분석하였다. 또한 무배출 금 회수 및 처리 공정을 설계하기 위한 생물학적 공정에 대하여 소개하였다.

The mean pH of wastewater discharged from the plating process is 2, so a less amount of alkali is required to raise pH 2 to 5. In addition, if sodium sulfite is used to raise pH 5 to 9 in the secondary treatment, caustic soda or slaked lime is not necessary or only a small amount is necessary because sodium sulfite is alkali. Thus, it is considered desirable to use only $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ in the primary treatment. At that time, the free cyanide removal rate was highest as around 99.3%, and among heavy metals, Ni showed the highest removal rate as around 92%, but zinc and chrome showed a low removal rate. In addition, the optimal amount of $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ was 0.3g/L, at which the cyanide removal rate was highest. Besides, the free cyanide removal rate was highest when pH value was 5. Of cyanide removed in the primary treatment, the largest part was removed through the precipitation of ferric ferrocyanide: $[Fe_4(Fe(CN)_6]_3$, and the rest was precipitated and removed through the production of $Cu_2[Fe(CN)_6]$, $Ni_2[Fe(CN)_6]$, CuCN, etc. Furthermore, it appeared more effective in removing residual cyanide in wastewater to mix $Na_2SO_3$ and $Na_2S_2O_5$ at an optimal ratio and put the mixture than to put them separately, and the optimal weight ratio of $Na_2SO_3$ to $Na_2S_2O_5$ was 1:2, at which the oxidative decomposition of residual cyanide was the most active. However, further research is required on the simultaneous removal of heavy metals such as chrome and zinc.

도금폐수중의 시안이온의 전기화학적 분해 및 아연이온의 제거에 관한 연구를 백금으로 도금된 티타늄 양극과 스텐레스 음극 전극을 사용하여 수행하였다. 전기분해시간, 셀전류, 첨가제, 염화물농도등의 여러 가지 실험파라메터를 연구하여 도금폐수중의 시안화물 분해 및 수용액중의 아연이온의 효과적인 제거에 사용하였다. 셀전류와 첨가제의 종류에 따라 시안이온의 분해 및 아연이온의 제거 효율이 크게 영향을 받는 것이 발견되었다. 시안이온의 분해 및 아연이온의 제거를 위한 경제적이며 높은 효율을 나타내는 최적화된 조건은 1시간의 전기분해시간, 12A의 전류, 그리고 0.5 M NaCl 첨가제를 사용하여 확립하였다. 양극에서의 시안이온의 분해에 관한 반응메카니즘도 논의하였다.

Dowex 21K XLT 수지를 이용하여 산업폐수 내에 존재하는 금과 납-시안 착화합물에 대한 연속흡착 및 회수 특성을 조사하였다. 충전층에 충진된 Dowex 21K XLT 수지는 0.5mL/min의 유입유속에서 금-시안 착화합물을 520 bed volume까지 95% 이상 연속적으로 제거할 수 있지만, 납-시안 착화합물은 전혀 제거할 수 없었다. Dowex 21K XLT 수지에 흡착된 금-시안 착화합물은 HCl과 Acetone을 7:3의 비율로 섞은 혼합액을 탈착제로 이용하였을 때, 8 bed volume 내에서 96% 탈착되어졌다. 또한 두 번 재사용된 Dowex 21K XLT 수지의 금-시안 착화합물에 대한 bed volume이 490을 유지하여 향후 금 이온을 포함하고 있는 산업폐수 처리공정에 충분히 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
