N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a typical nitrogen disinfection by-product, which has posed a potential threat to human health during drinking water disinfection. Because of the well-known effects of mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and teratogenesis, the high detection rate in water engineering systems (such as coagulation, membrane filtration and biological systems), and difficulty to remove, it has received wide concern in the field of water engineering systems. The NDMA is a low molecular weight hydrophilic organic substance, which is difficult to remove. Also, the mechanism for NDMA formation is also recognized to be complex, and many steps still needed to be further evaluated. Therefore, the mechanistic knowledge on NDMA formation potential and their removal processes is of particularly interest. Few papers summarize the occurrence and control of NDMA in water engineering systems. It is for this reason that the content of this paper is particularly important for us to understand and control the amount of NDMA thus reducing the threat of disinfection by-products to drinking water. Four parts including the mechanisms for the NDMA formation potential, the factors affecting the NDMA formation potential, the technologies for removal of NDMA are summarized. Finally, some definite suggestions are given.

In manufacturing of flatfish skin collagen peptide (FSCP) and flatfish protein hydrolysate (FPH) by reuse of dead flatfish from fish farm in Jeju island, the industrial process was optimized with the laboratory scale research and the on-field process. Segmented unit processes from raw material incoming to shipment were established to produce commercial product of FSCP and FPH. Total plate counts of FSCP were twenty five times of FPH, but food poisoning bacteria were not detected in two samples. FSCP and FPH were safe from heavy metal such as Pb(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). The residual contents of antibiotics and disinfection matter in FSCP and FPH were not detected. The optimized process for mass production made the one-third of the running time and two times of the yield. From economic analysis, the production cost was estimated to 22,000 and 12,000 won/kg for FSCP and FPH, respectively. Therefore the product from the reuse of dead flatfish was expected to have a considerable competitive price and high added-value functional food material compared with other commercially available fish products.

본 연구에서는 두 가지 기원의 표준 휴믹물질 혼합 시료와 Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA)을 사용하여 광분해로 인한 용존 유기물질의 스펙트럼 특성 변화와 이에 따른 소독 부산물 생성능의 변화를 조사하였다. 혼합시료의 염소소독부산물 발생잠재력(DBPFP)은 specific UV absorbance (SUVA) 값에 비례하여 증가하였다. 7일간 광분해 후 혼합시료의 SUVA 값은 모두 감소하였다. 그러나 동일 시료에서 DBPFP 값은 SUVA 감소폭보다 적었다. 비록 두 변수 사이에 직선성은 유지되었으나 같은 SUVA 범위 내에서의 DBPFP 값은 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이 결과는 광분해로 인해 염소소독부산물 전구체 역할을 하는 비방향족 물질이 생성될 수 있음을 시사하였다. SRFA 시료에 대해 4일과 13일 광분해하여 각각 저분자와 고분자 부분에서의 DBPFP 값을 비교한 결과 광분해 후 유기탄소 당 염소소독부산물 발생량 변화양상은 염소소독부산물 종류에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 유기탄소 당 trihalomethenes (THMs) 발생은 광분해 후 고분자 부분에서 더 높았으나 haloacetic acids(HAAs)의 경우 고분자와 저분자 부분 사이의 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 광분해 시간에 따른 유기탄소 당 DBPFP 값 변화 패턴도 용존 유기물 분자량에 따라 다르게 나타났다. THMs의 경우 고분자 부분에서는 광분해 시간에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 저분자에서는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 반면 HAAs은 고분자에서 지속적인 감소 경향을, 저분자 부분에서는 증가 후 다시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구결과 수중 유기물질은 전반적으로 광분해에 따라 소독부산물 생성능이 초기에 오히려 증가할 수 있으며 광분해 시간이 충분히 지속된 후에야 감소함을 보여주었다.

The effect of chlorination on disinfection byproducts (DBPs) production from bloom-forming freshwater algae including 7 strains of cyanobacteria and 6 strains of diatoms was investigated. The release and degradation of hepatotoxin (microcystins) by the chlorination on Microcystis under differential condition of the chlorination time and dose were also investigated. The disinfection byproducts formation potentials (DBPFP) of cyanobacterial species and diatoms were ranged from 0.017 to $0.070{\mu}mol\;DBPs/mg$ C and from 0.129 to $0.708{\mu}mol\;DBPs/mg$ C respectively. Among three major groups of DBPs, haloacetonitrils (HANs) was major product in most test strains except Aphanizomenon sp. and Oscillatoria sp. Haloacetic acids (HAAs) was less than 5 % of total DBPs. Chloroform and dichloroacetonitril (DCAN) were dominant compounds in trihalomethanes (THMs) and HANs respectively. After 4 hours chlorination of toxic Microcystis aeruginosa under the dose range of 0.5 to $10mg\;Cl_2/L$, the concentration of intracellular microcystins decreased, but dissolved dissolved microcystins concentration increased with the treatment of more than $3mg\;Cl_2/L$. However the total amount of microcystins was almost constant even at $10mg\;Cl_2/L$ of chlorination. To conclude, our results indicate that the chlorination causes algal cell lysis and release of intracellular microcystins in the intact form to surrounding waters.

This study was conducted to evaluate the chlorinated disinfection by-products formation potential (DBPFP) produced from the cell and extracellular product (ECP) of Chlamydomonas pulsatilla after chlorination. Reaction yields of DBPs produced by C. pulsatilla of ECP and the cell were $0.007{\mu}mol/mg{\cdot}C$ and $0.808{\mu}mol/mg{\cdot}C$ respectively, Also, SUVA values of ECP and the cell were measured as $0.313L/mg{\cdot}m$ and $1.052L/mg{\cdot}m$ respectively, The DOC of cell was found to be lower than that of ECP, while the SUVA value and reaction yields for the cell were higher than those of ECP. For ECP, most of the DBPFP was composed of trihalomethanes (THM; 47.3%) and haloacetonitriles (HAN; 38,83%). THM and HAN were the major DBPFP produced by the cell. Chloroform was found to be the major THM compound; 98.3% for ECP and 99.98% for the cell. Dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) were identified as the major haloacetic acid (HAA) and HAN compounds formed by ECP and the cell as a precursor, respectively. As the chlorine dose was increased, concentrations of DOC, THMs, and HANs were increased. However, the chlorine dose decreased the concentration of chlorophyll-a.

To guarantee the disinfection ability in clearwell, a value of CT is considered where C[mg/l] is disinfectant residual at the exit of clearwell and T[min] means $T_{10}$, the contact time when 10% of tracer is out of clearwell after introducing the tracer at the inlet. To meet a CT value required, increasing the C value is not recommended because high C value can increase potential of producing disinfection by product like THMs. Increasing the hydraulic efficiency surrogated by $T_{10}$ is thus an option widely recommended. Right now, it is widely adopted estimating $T_{10}$ considering LW ratio only due to the suggestions of previous researches. The authors think however there are other factors to consider including shape, flow rate, configuration of inlet and outlet, and the existence of intra basin. This study is initiated to closely look at the effects of two factor on hydraulic efficiency. The factors are shape and inlet flow velocity, i.e., inflow. For that, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed and pilot test is also carried out. The results show that at a L/W ratio, disinfection ability is overestimated with larger length in shape and higher inlet flow velocity. This suggests that in determining $T_{10}$, the shapes of clearwell and inlet flow velocity should also be considered as well as L/W ratio.

본 연구에서는 수처리에서 모노클로라민을 주입 할 경우 살균 부산물로 NDMA 발생정도를 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 pH, 디메칠아민 및 모노클로라민 농도, 질소비율의 변화에 따른 NDMA 생성 농도를 측정하였다. 디메칠아민 농도를 0.01 mM또는 0.05 mM로 고정시킨 조건에서 모노클로라민/디메칠아민 비율이 1보다 클 때와 작을 때에 따라 NDMA 생성에 큰 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. NDMA 생성 농도는 일반적으로 pH와 모노클로라민에 존재하는 질소비율 증가에 따라 높게 나타나는 상관성을 보여 주었으며, pH 7과 8에서는 디메칠아민을 5배 증가시킨 결과 거의 모든 조건에서 NDMA 생성도 5배 이상 증가하였다. 수 처리장에서 염소살균 결과 모노클로라민이 존재 할 경우 NDMA 생성을 촉진시킬 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

Bromate is a disinfection by-product generated mainly from the oxidation of bromide during the ozonation and disinfection process in order to remove pathogenic microorganism of drinking water, and classified as a possible human carcinogen by International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) and World Health Organization (WHO). For the purpose of determining the trace level concentration of bromate, several sensitive techniques are applied mostly based on suppressed conductivity detection and UV/Visible detection after postcolumn reaction (PCR). In this study, the suppressed conductivity detection method and the PCR-UV/Visible detection method through the triiodide reaction were compared to analyze the trace bromate in water samples and estimated for the availability of these analytical methods. In addtion, the state-of-the-art techniques was applied for the determination of trace level bromate in various water matrices, i.e., soft drinking water, hard drinking water, mineral water, swimming pool water, and raw water. In comparison of two analytical methods, it was found that the conductivity detection had the suitable advantage to simultaneously analyze bromate and inorganic anions, however, the bromate might not be precisely quantified due to the matrix effect especially by chloride ion. On the other hand, the trace bromate was analyzed effectively by the method of PCR-UV/Visible detection through triiodide reaction to satisfactorily minimize the matrix interference of chloride ion in various water samples, showing the good linearity and reproducibility. Furthermore, the method detection limit (MDL) and recovery were 0.161 ㎍/L and 101.0-108.1 %, respectively, with a better availability compared to conductivity detection.

In the present study, silver-doped antibacterial hydroxyapatites were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method. For the starting solution, the molar ratio of $Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O, P(OC_2H_5)_3,\;C_2H_5OH,\;and\;H_O$ was set to 0.075:0.045:20:0.135; $AgNO_3$ was added to a ratio of Ag to total cation concentration of $0.5-12 mol\%$. The prepared sol was dried at $100^{\circ}C$ for 48h and heat-treated at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 2h to obtain particles in the 200-500nm size range. The product from the synthesis of silver-doped hydroxyapatite was investigated through X-ray diffraction experiments and scanning electron microscopy. The product showed high antibacterial properties, with a disinfection ratio of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) over $99.9^{\circ}C$ as calculated from an antimicrobial effects evaluation by the shake flask method.
