본 연구는 가솔린 휘발가스를 퇴비 바이오필터로 처리시 공정조절 인자인 체류시간과 충전깊이의 영향을 살펴보고 공정개선방안을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 체류시간을 4, 10, 그리고 20분으로 변화하여 실시한 결과 TPH의 효율적 제거를 위해서는 10분이상의 EBRT가 요구되었으며 $40g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr 미만의 부하로 운전하는 것이 효과적이었다. BTEX는 체류시간 4분에서는 부하량이 약 $1.5g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr 이상으로 증가하자 더 이상 제거 능력이 증가하지 않았으며, 체류시간 10분에서는 약 $5.3g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr의 부하량에서 $4.5g/m^3$(충전물질)/hr 이상이 제거되었다. 이로써 안정적인 제거를 위해서는 BTEX도 10분 이상의 체류시간이 필요하였다. 충전깊이는 25, 50, 75, 그리고 100cm로 하였다. TPH 제거량을 증가시키기 위해서는 단순히 충전깊이를 증가시키는 것보다 가스체류시간 및 유입부하량 등 다른 공정인자들을 제어하는 것이 더욱 효과적이었다. BTEX의 경우에는 다른 공정인자의 조절도 중요하지만 충전깊이를 1m 정도로 하면 다른 공정인자의 조절에 큰 어려움 없이도 제거효율을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

A fast and simple sampling and sample preparation device, (NTD) has been developed and applied to sample and analyze volatile components from ground coffee beans. Coffee fragrances and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were sampled by the NTD and then analyzed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Divinylbenzene (DVB) particles (80/100 mesh size) were the sorbent bed of the NTD. More than 150 volatile components were first identified based on the database of the mass library and then finally 30 fragrances including caffeine were further confirmed by comparing experimental retention indices (i.e. Kovat index) with literature retention indices. Total sampling time was 10 minutes and no extra solvent extraction and/or reconstitution step need. Straight n-alkanes (C6-C20) were used as retention index probes for the calculation of experimental retention indices. In addition, this report suggests that an empty needle can be an alternative platform for analyzing polymers by pyrolysis-GC/MS.

In this study, the treatment ability of the wastewater containing perchlorate by non-salt tolerant perchlorate reducing bacterial consortium (N-PRBC) was evaluated in a continuous stirred tank bioreactor (CSTR). To obtain the optimal operating condition the bioreactor was operated with the different wastewater empty bed retention time (EBRT). The treatment performance in the bioreactor could be maintained at 100 $mg-ClO_4{^-}L^{-1}$ up to a EBRT of 3 h, and the removal capacity in the CSTR was about 3.3 times higher than that in a batch operation. With a decrease from 9 h to 2 h in a EBRT, the volumetric perchlorate reduction rate was increased from 11.1 $mg-ClO_4{^-}L^{-1}h^{-1}$ to 50.0 $mg-ClO_4{^-}L^{-1}h^{-1}$, and the specific perchlorate reduction rates were increased from 3.01 $mg-ClO_4{^-}g-DCW^{-1}h^{-1}$. In conclusion, the treatment capacities in a CSTR were much better than those obtained in a batch operation.

A parallel TBF system that is consisted of two TBFs was developed f ‘ or the long-term treatment of gas-phase trichloroethylene (TCE). Each TBF was operated for TCE degradation or reactivation in a parallel mode, and the effect of switching time and operation variables between the two reactors was investigated. Within 12 hr after switching from TCE degradation to reactivation mode, the MO activity increased up to the initial level. More than 50 % of TCE was degraded for feed concentrations ranging from 5 to 17 ppmv, and completely 100 % removed at concentration of less than 5 ppmv, while TCE removal decreased severely over 28 ppmv. In various empty bed retention times (EBRTs), ranging 상 om 5.2 to 10.7 min, the optimal EBRT was 10.7 min that TCE conversion achieved more than 50 %. For the inlet loading below 23.4 mg TCE/L/day, TCE was entirely removed. The maximal TCE elimination capacity in this system was about 66.63 mg TCE/L/day. During the continuous treatment of TCE over 3 months, TCE removal efficiency was maintained at the range of about 50 %. In these results, the parallel TBF system can be available for the continuously TCE biodegrading operation.

Removal of malodorous gases from swine manure by a polyurethane biofilter inoculated with heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria was investigated. Ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and other gases could be efficiently treated at 3~3.6 second of empty bed retention time by the polyurethane biofilter. In the range of SV $200~l,200h^{-1}$ , the average removal efficiency of odor was about 89% when the odor unit of inlet gas was below 4100. Odor elimination capacity of the polyurethane biofilter was$ 1.8$\times$10^{5}$ $~5.0$\times$10^{7}$OUㆍm$^{-3}$ㆍ$h^{-1}$ that were 84~90% of the inlet load. The critical loads of $NH_3$ and $H_2$S, which mean 97% removal with respect to the inlet loads, were 31 and $27 g.m^{-3}$ ㆍ$h^{-1}$ , respectively. The maximum elimination capacities of $NH_3$ and $H_2$S were 56 and $157 gㆍm^{-3}$ ㆍh$^{-1}$ , respectively. Although the removability for$ NH_3$ and $H_2$S was not influenced by $H_2$S$NH_3$ ratio (ppmv/ppmv), the $H_2$S removability was inhibited by high $H_2$S concentration more than 80 ppmv.

This study was conducted to evaluate the biofiltration treatment characteristic for benzene vapor gas. Compost and calcium silicate porous material were used as biofilter fillers. Gas velocity and empty bed retention time were 15 m/hr and 4 min, respectively. Benzene gas removal efficiency of P-Bio (calcium silicate porous material with inoculation) was the highest and maintained in over 98%. After shock input of benzene gas, the removal efficiency of P-Bio biofilter was recovered within 2 days, while 5 days were taken in CP-Bio (compost + calcium silicate porous material mixture with inoculation) and CP (compost + calcium silicate porous material mixture without inoculation) biofilters. The removal efficiency of P-Bio biofilter was near 100% in the loading rate of <$85g/m^3$(filling material)/hr, It was shown that the maximum elimination capacities of P-Bio, CP-Bio, and CP biofilters were 95, 69, and $66\;g/m^3$(filling material)/hr, respectively. Microbial number of P-Bio, which the number was the lowest at start-up, was 3 orders increased on operational day 48. $CO_2$ was generated greatly in order of P-Bio, CP-Bio, and CP biofilters.

세라믹 담체가 충진된(공극률 32％) 생물여과 반응기(BAF)를 이용하여 암모니아성 질소폐수를 처리할 때, 수리학적 체류시간(HRT) 및 폭기량의 변화가 아질산 축적에 미치는 영향에 대해서 고찰하였다. 암모니아성 합성 폐수 및 석유화학 실폐수를 $1.6kgNH_4^+-N/m^3{\cdot}d$ 내외의 질소 부하로 BAF에 공급하였을 때, 암모니아성 질소의 제거율은 폭기량 증가에 비례하였으나 아질산 축적률은 폭기량 외에도 HRT의 영향을 받았다. 0.23시간의 HRT에서(공탑 체류시간 기준 0.7시간)는 0.23, 0.45, 0.56 cm/s로 공기 선속도를 증가시키면, 암모니아성 질소 제거율은 각각 73, 90, 92％로 증가하였으나 아질산 축적비($NO_2-N/NO_x-N$)는 0.92, 0.82, 0.48로 점차 감소하였다. 반면에 HRT 0.9시간, 공기 선속도 0.34~0.45 cm/s 범위에서는 암모니아성 질소 제거율 89％, 아질산 축적비 0.13 내외로 아질산 축적률이 급격하게 감소하였다. 공기 선속도 0.34 cm/s, HRT 1.4시간에서는 암모니아성 질소 제거율의 감소로 free ammonia(FA, $NH_3-N$) 농도가 상승하였고, 이후 약 50일에 걸쳐 아질산 축적비는 0.95 이상까지 점차 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 HRT 0.23시간에서의 FA 농도 및 폭기 조건이 HRT 0.9시간 조건에 비해 아질산 축적에 더 불리했음에도 HRT 0.23시간에서의 아질산 축적률이 더 높게 나타났다. 따라서 FA 농도, 폭기 조건 외에도 HRT, 질소 부하 조건에 따라 BAF에서 아질산 축적량이 영향을 받았다. 반면에 FA 농도가 매우 높게(FA 5~15 mgN/L) 유지되는 조건에서는 운전 조건에 상관없이 아질산 축적이 안정하게 일어났으며 이 경우는 암모니아성 질소 제거율이 감소하였다.

In this study, 4 gases containing typical chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were treated by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The typical chlorinated VOCs are dichloromethane (DCM), trichloromethane (TCM), carbon tetrachloride (CTC) and trichloroethylene (TCE). The removal efficiency (RE) and the products of chlorinated VOCs by UV irradiation are investigated. At this time, 2 types of background gas (air and nitrogen) were used to figure out the RE by photooxidation and photolysis. The specification of UV-lamp used in this study was low-pressure mercury lamp emitting wavelength of 185~254 nm. The experimental conditions were set as initial VOC concentration of $180{\pm}10ppm$, empty bed retention time (EBRT) of 53 s, temperature of $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of $65{\pm}5%$. In the photolysis condition with nitrogen ($N_2$) as background gas, the averaged RE of the 4 types of chlorinated VOCs was about 24% higher than that with photooxidation; and the REs of VOCs except CTC were confirmed as >99%. The composition of off-gases after UV photooxidation in air was investigated and several intermediates from DCM, TCM and TCE were detected by GC/MS. Among them, phosgene which is a toxics was detected as an intermediate of TCM. In addition, the concentration of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in the off-gases was measured to calculate the mineralization rate (MR). With the photooxidation, TCE showed the highest RE (>99%) while MR was the lowest (17%); and the MR of DCM was the highest (86%). In addition, particulate matters (PM) in the off-gases was also detected and high concentrated $PM_{10}$ ($21,580{\mu}g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) and $PM_{2.5}$ ($6,346{\mu}g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) were detected in TCE off-gas. More than 99% of the chlorinated VOCs could be removed using UV254-185 nm lamp, while it is necessary to conduct further studies on the production and treatment of secondary pollutants.

분말활성탄과 제올라이트가 담지된 폴리우레탄 담체를 충진한 파일롯 규모의 바이오필터를 이용하여 암모니아와 황화수소의 처리 성능을 평가하였다. 약 10개월간 하수처리장 슬러지 농축조에서 발생하는 악취를 대상으로 바이오필터 유입 암모니아 농도는 0.1~1.5 $ppm_v$, 황화수소 농도는 2~20 $ppm_v$ 범위에서 운전되었다. 바이오필터의 공탑체류시간 3.6~5초 범위에서 초기 순응기간을 제외하고는 거의 모든 경우 100%에 가까운 악취 제거율을 보여주었다. 바이오필터에서의 기체흐름에 의한 압력손실도 매우 낮아 10개월 동안 최대 31 mm $H_2O$ 정도의 차압이 발생하였다. 이것은 본 연구에 이용된 바이오필터의 막힘이나 담체의 압착 현상이 거의 일어나지 않아 장기간의 운전에도 안정성을 확인할 수 있었다. 담체에 부착하여 서식하는 미생물군집은 바이오필터의 처리 성능에 중요한 영향을 미치는데 특히 암모니아나 황화수소를 제거하기 위한 암모니아 산화균과 황산화균의 분포가 중요하다. FISH (Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization) 방법으로 확인한 결과 질산화를 주관하는 암모니아 산화균인 Nitrosomonas sp.와 황산화균인 Thiobacillus ferroxidans가 검출되었다. 또한 바이오필터의 운전기간이 길어질수록, 그리고 악취의 유입부분이 유출부분에 비해 미생물 분포량이 더 많음을 확인하였다.
