본 연구에서는 용수재이용을 위해 생활하수를 지하흐름형 인공습지로 처리한 후 연못시스템에 연결시켜 미생물과 각 수질인자들의 처리효과를 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. SS의 농도는 얼음이 녹은 3월 초순에서 4월 초순까지는 10 mg $L^{-1}$ 이하의 매우 낮은 농도로 우리 나라 방류수 수질기준보다 낮은 농도를 유지할 수 있었으나 겨울이나 여름 특정기간에 농도가 높아서, 용수 재이용시 보건 ${\cdot}$ 위생적인 측면과 더불어 이용자에게 심미적인 불편함이 없어야 하므로 유출부에 여과시설 등 관리대책을 검토할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다. $BOD_5$는 식물의 생장과 미생물의 성장이 저조한 동절기의 농도 증가현상과 이들의 활동이 활발한 성장기의 감소현상을 뚜렷히 나타내었으나, 전체적으로는 국제적인 농업용수 재이용 수질기준보다 낮은 수준으로서 우려할 사항이 아닐 것으로 판단된다. 영양물질의 경우 DO가 상승한 호기성상태에서 T-N, T-P 농도가 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 수질개선을 목적으로 연못시스템을 이용할 경우 3월중에 상층부를 유출시키고 3월 이후에는 수심을 낮게 유지하여 심수층까지 호기성상태를 유지하는 것이 수질관리에 유리할 것으로 판단된다. 지하흐름형 인공습지에서의 미생물 처리효율은 TC, FC, E. coli 모두 평균 92 ${\sim}$ 96% 이상 높은 처리 효율을 보였으며, 인공습지 유출수가 연못시스템을 거치면서 추가로 평글 83 ${\sim}$ 90% 이상 제거되어 평균 대장균농도가 1,200MPN 100 $mL^{-1}$ 로써 인공습지와 연못시스템을 연계 ${\cdot}$ 적용한 후 농업용수로 재이용하거나 수계로 방류할경우 보건 ${\cdot}$ 위생상의 문제를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 미생물의 소독은 대부분 태양광에 의해서 이루어지기 때문에 본 연구와 같이 연못 상층부에서 유출시킬 경우 높은 처리효율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각하며, 대장균과 연못 내에 존재하는 생물들 사이의 상호작용을 정확히 이해하여 적절한 관리대책을 마련 할 경우 안정적인 방류수 농도를 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 자연정화로서 하수처리수를 고도 처리할 수 있는 인공습지와 연못시스템을 연계처리 하면 높은 미생물 소독효율을 나타내어 보건 ${\cdot}$ 위생상의 문제를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 인공습지와 연계한 연못시스템의 하수처리방식은 간단한 구조, 큰 완충능력, 적은 슬러지 발생, 간소한 유지 ${\cdot}$ 관리의 장점을 가지고 있어서, 소규모하수처리와 농업용수 재이용 기술로서 적용가능성이 클것으로 판단된다.

섬유염색 및 가공산업은 용수요구량이 매우 높은 편이며 다양한 난분해성 염료의 사용으로 인해 폐수발생량의 기여도가 높은 전형적인 오염 유발 산업이다. 본 연구는 낙동강 수계에서 산업폐수 발생업체 중 섬유염색 및 가공 산업시설을 중심으로 SS, $BOD_5,\;COD_{Mn},\;COD_{Cr}$, TN 그리고 TP와 같은 수질 항목에 대해서 발생원 단위 오염물질 배출 특성을 파악하고 발생원단위 부하량을 산출하기 위해 수행되었다. 각 산업을 대표하는 오염원 발생원단위의 산정을 위해 낙동강 수계에 산재한 섬유염색 및 가공업체 중 세 개 업체를 선정하였다. BOD 기준 유입수와 유출수에서의 원단위 값은 90%이상 감소하였지만 원수에서의 높은 유기물 부하량으로 인해 원단위값 자체는 섬유제조시설에서 얻어진 값과 유사하였다. 유수의 생분해도는 유출수에 비해 세배 가량 높게 나타났다. 건평, 제품생산량 및 원료사용량을 기준으로 한 주요 수질 항목 (SS, $BOD_5$, COD, TN and TP)에서 단위공정(본 연구에서 산정한 값)의 오염원 발생원단위 결과값이 통합공정(국립환 경과학원에서 산정한 값)의 오염원 발생원단위 결과 값과 유사하였지만 다른 인자를 기준으로 한 경우에는 커다란 차이를 보여주었다. 섬유염색 및 가공업체에서 도출된 오염원 발생원단위 인자는 낙동강 수질 오염총량제 도입과 함께 수질오염 부하량 처리비용을 산정 할 때 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다. 이러한 오염원 발생부하량 도출과 함께 낙동강 수계에서의 효과적인 수질오염제어와 관리를 위해서는 각 산업별 폐수처리시설의 유출수로부터 다양한 형태의 수질오염항목을 특성화시킬 필요가 있다.

국내의 상수원으로 사용하는 수질보호구역은 주로 농촌지역인 경우가 많다. 농촌지역의 경우 인구수 및 인구밀도가 높지 않아 하수도 시스템 보급이 열악하여 상수원 관리를 위해서는 농촌지역의 하수처리에 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 농촌지역에 위치한 마을하수도 4개소와 하수처리장의 운전결과를 분석하였다. 마을하수도보다 하수처리장에서 고농도의 오염물질이 유입되었으며, 방류수 수질 기준은 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 마을하수도의 방류수의 오염물질 농도가 하수처리장보다 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 처리 효율에서는 median 값으로 유기물(BOD, COD)의 경우 약 5%정도, 영양염류(T-N, T-P)의 경우 최대 30%정도 높게 검출되었다. 또한 오염물질 처리효율에 MLSS, DO 및 체류시간과 같은 생물반응조 운전 인자가 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과 운전 조건에 따라 오염물질 처리효율이 변하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 농촌지역에서 하수 관리를 위해서는 생물 반응조 운전 조건 등의 유지관리에 주의를 기울여야 한다.

Retardation effect of heavy metals in soils caused by adsorption onto the surfaces of solids particles is well known phenomena. The adsorption of metal ions has been recognized more strong in clay mineral and organic matter contents rather than sands and gravels. In this study, we investigated the retardation effect in two sandy soils by conducting batch and column tests. The column tests were conducted to obtain the relationship between concentration and time known as breakthrough curve (BTC). We applied pulse type injection of ZnCl$_2$solution on the inlet boundary and monitored the effluent concentration at the exit boundary under steady state condition using EC-meter and ICP-AES. Batch test consisted of an equilibrium procedure for fine fractions collected from two sandy soils for various initial ZnCl$_2$concentrations, and analysis of Zn ions in equilibrated solution using ICP-AES. The results of column test showed that i) the peak concentration of Zn analyzed by ICP was far less than that detected by EC-meter for both soils and ii) travel times for peak concentration were more less identical for two different monitoring techniques. The first result can be explained by ion exchange between Zn and other cations initially present in the soil particles since ICP analysis showed a significant amount of Ca, Mg ions in the effluent. From the second result, we found that retardation effect was not present in these soils due to strong cation exchange capacity of Zn ion over other cations since we did not apply a solution containing more adsorptive cations such as Al. The result of batch test also showed high distribution coefficients (K$_{d}$) for two soils supporting the dominant ion exchange phenomena. Based on the retardation factor obtained from the Kd, we predicted the BTC using CDE model and compared with the BTC of Zn concentration obtained from ICP The predicted BTC, however, disagreed with the monitored in terms of travel time and magnitude of the peak concentrations. The only way to describe the prominent decrease of Zn ion was to introduce decay or sink coefficient in the CDE model to account for irreversible decrease of Zn ions in liquid phase.e.

Five sediment cores from the tidal flat of artificial Lake Shihwa are analyzed in terms of sedimentology and geochemistry to evaluate the heavy metal contamination and redox condition of surficial sediment following the Shihwa seawall construction. The variability of concentrations of various elements depends on the depositional environment, and reflects the various redox conditions and sediment provenances. The amounts of Ti and Al and their ratio of Ti/ Al with respect to Li clearly indicate that there is an anthropogenic contribution to the surficial sediment. The high concentrations of heavy metals suggest an anthropogenic contribution at ST. 34 and ST. 22. Concentrations of most elements (Cr, Cu, Zn and Pb) are higher near the Shihwa-Banwol industrial complex than in the central part of Lake Shihwa. Concentrations of heavy metal in surficial sediment near the Shihwa-Banwol industrial complex are two to eight times higher than in the center of Lake Shihwa. Enrichment factors (EF), which are normalized by the unpolluted shale, suggests a significant metallic contamination near the Shihwa-Banwol industrial complex (SBIC). The redox condition is divided into two anoxic and mixed oxi $c_oxic zones based on the carbon:sulfur (C/S) ratios of organic matter and elemental relationships. Correlations among geochemical elements Mn, U and Mo are significantly different from site to site, and may therefore be an indicator of the spatial redox condition. Controlling factors for switching anoxic/oxic conditions are thought to be water depth and the differences in industrial effluent supply. The variations of the Cu/Mn ratio in the sediments confirms above mentioned spatial differences of a redox condition in part, and therefore shows a location-dependence redox condition in sediments at four other sites. The redox condition of the surficial sediment characteristics of the Shihwa Lake are controlled by its geographic location and water depth.th.

Objectives: For the field application of the dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor, scale-up of the plasma reactor is needed. This study investigated the possibility of inactivation of microorganisms in sewage using pilot multi-plasma reactor. We also considered the possibility of degradation of total organic carbon (TOC) and nonbiodegradable matter ($UV_{254}$) in sewage. Methods: The pilot plasma reactor consists of plasma reactor with three plasma modules (discharge electrode and quartz dielectric tube), liquid-gas mixer, high voltage transformers, gas supply equipment and a liquid circulation system. In order to determine the operating conditions of the pilot plasma reactor, we performed experiments on the operation parameters such as gas and liquid flow rate and electric discharge voltage. Results: The experimental results showed that optimum operation conditions for the pilot plasma reactor in batch experiments were 1 L/min air flow rate), 4 L/min liquid circulation rate, and 13 kV electric discharge voltage, respectively. The main operation factor of the pilot plasma process was the high voltage. In continuous operation of the air plasma process, residual microorganisms, $UV_{254}$ absorbance and TOC removal rate at optimal condition of 13 kV were $10^{2.24}$ CFU/mL, 56.5% and 8.6%, respectively, while in oxygen plasma process at 10 kV, residual microorganisms, $UV_{254}$ absorbance and TOC removal rate at optimal conditions were $10^{1.0}$ CFU/mL, 73.3% and 24.4%, respectively. Electric power was increased exponentially with the increase in high voltage ($R^2$ = 0.9964). Electric power = $0.0492{\times}\exp^{(0.6027{\times}lectric\;discharge\;voltage)}$ Conclusions: Inactivation of microorganisms in sewage effluent using the pilot plasma process was done. The performance of oxygen plasma process was superior to air plasma process. The power consumption of oxygen plasma process was less than that of air plasma process. However, it was considered that the final evaluation of air and oxygen plasma must be evaluated by considering low power consumption, high process performance, operating costs and facility expenses of an oxygen generator.

In this study, an experiment was conducted on influent water with low concentrations of organic matter, such as river water or secondary treatment water of a sewage treatment plant, according to HRT changes by using aerobic biofilm. In the biofilm process, as the biofilm increases in thickness, the inner membrane can be low in oxygen transfer rate and become anaerobic conditions, while the detachment of biomass from biofilm occurs. To overcome these limitations in the detachment of microorganisms in biofilm, the yarn, which was made from poly propylene(PP), was weaved and manufactured into a tube. Then, a test was carried out by injecting air so that the interior of the biofilm could create aerobic conditions. The results of the experiment showed that the removal efficiency of $TCOD_{cr}$ reached 66.1~81.2% by HRT 2hr, and 50.9 ~61.8% after HRT 1 hr. The removal efficiency of $SCOD_{cr}$ was 45.9 to 55.1% by HRT 1hr, and 26.1% in HRT 0.5hr, showing the highest removal efficiency in HRT 1hr. The SS removal efficiency was at 81.8 to 94.6%, and the effluent SS concentration was very low, indicating less than 2.2 mg/L in all HRT's. As a result, the $SCOD_{cr}$ and $NH_4{^+}$-N that were removed per specific surface area and attached to microbial biofilm showed the highest efficiency in HRT 1hr with 8.37 $gSCOD_{cr}/m^2{\cdot}d$, 2.93 $gNH_4{^+}-N/m^2{\cdot}d$. From the result of reviewing the characteristics of biofilm growth, microorganisms were found to be attached, and increased by 36 days. Later, they decreased in number through detachment, but showed a tendency to increase again 41 days later due to microbial reproduction.

In this study, biodegradable organic matter was divided into a rapidly biodegradable fraction($BDOC_{rapid}$) and a slowly biodegradable fraction($BDOC_{slow}$) for various waters with different types of DOC. These fractions($BDOC_{rapid}$ and $BDOC_{slow}$) were defined by using a shaking incubation method modified from Carlson's method. Also, in this study, optimum incubation time and accuracy were investigated to determine $BDOC_{rapid}$ and $BDOC_{slow}$. When suspended bacteria obtained from raw water and BAC effluent, or attached bacteria from BAC was respectively used as an inoculum, the difference in total BDOC($BDOC_{total}$) was minimal. Therefore, total BDOC was determined in 7~8 days by the shaking method, which is comparable with Servais's method by which BDOC was determined in 28 days. In addition, the difference of BDOC between these two methods was within 7%. Although $BDOC_{rapid}$ and $BDOC_{slow}$ were effectively determined by a method defined by Klevens, the difference in optimal incubation time was significant for different water samples. However, when using the shaking method, optimal incubation time for $BDOC_{rapid}$ was found to be 3 days, therefore, the $BDOC_{rapid}$ was defined as the difference between $DOC_0$ and $DOC_{3days}$, and $BDOC_{slow}$ was defined as the difference between $BDOC_{total}$ and $BDOC_{rapid}$. As a conclusion, for determining the fraction of BDOC using the shaking method, the concentrations of an inoculurns and optimal incubation times used in this study were very effective.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility to apply the Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor(MBBR) in the activated sludge treatment process with existing aerobic HRT. Optimal operation conditions were assumed according to the analysis of organic matter and nutrients removal efficiencies depending on loading variations. The process was operated under different conditions: RUN I(HRT=7.14hr, $I{\cdot}R=100%$), RUN II(HRT=6.22hr, $I{\cdot}R=100%$), RUN III(HRT=6.22 hr, $I{\cdot}R=150%$), RUN IV(HRT=6.22hr, $I{\cdot}R=200%$), the TBOD removal efficien cies are 88%, 88.5%, 94.6%, 97.6%, respectively. Overall TSS removal efficiency is 90%, and it is increasing in RUN IV. In the case of Nitrogen, the highest removal efficiency of 90% was observed in RUN III and RUN IV, Nitrification and Denitrification rates are 0.013-0.016kg $NH_3-N/kg$ Mv-d and 0.009-0.019kg $NO_3/kg$ Mv-d, respectively. Phosphorus removal efficiencies are 89.6% in RUN I, 91.5% in RUN II, 84.3% in RUN III, and 76.4% in RUN IV. The process under shorter SRT yields better performance in terms of phosphorus removal. It was noticed that to achieve the effluent phosphorus concentration ofless than 1mg/L and removal efficiency higher than 80%, SRT should not be longer than 10 days. Experimental result shows that HRT of 6.22 hours is suitable for this treatment process, and, as a result, the aerobic reactor including moving media and DO depletion tank have a sufficient effect to the process performance.
