A bioflocculant producing bacterium for wastewater treatment was isolated and identified as Lactobacillus jensenii. The bioflocculant was supposed as a polysaccharide. Lactobacillus jensenii YW-33 produced the flocculant with highest activity in the medium composed of 2% sucrose, 0.05% tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.01% K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, 0.01% KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, 0.01% NaCl, 0.005% MnSO$_{4}$, 5H$_{2}$O and 0.2% Tween 80. The optimal culture pH and temperature were 7.0 and 25$\circ$C, respectively. In the time course of production with jar fermentor, the productivity of the flocculant was increased in proportion to the cell growth and the cultivation time for maximum production was 24 hrs, showing flocculating activity of 1,130 units per ml.

A model combining multi-dimensional discretized population balance equations with a computational fluid dynamics simulation (CFD-DPBE model) was developed and applied to simulate turbulent flocculation and sedimentation processes in sediment retention basins. Computation fluid dynamics and the discretized population balance equations were solved to generate steady state flow field data and simulate flocculation and sedimentation processes in a sequential manner. Up-to-date numerical algorithms, such as operator splitting and LeVeque flux-corrected upwind schemes, were applied to cope with the computational demands caused by complexity and nonlinearity of the population balance equations and the instability caused by advection-dominated transport. In a modeling and simulation study with a two-dimensional simplified pond system, applicability of the CFD-DPBE model was demonstrated by tracking mass balances and floc size evolutions and by examining particle/floc size and solid concentration distributions. Thus, the CFD-DPBE model may be used as a valuable simulation tool for natural and engineered flocculation and sedimentation systems as well as for flocculant-aided sediment retention ponds.

본 연구는 응집제로 calcium alginate를 이용한 질산성 질소 처리에 관한 연구이다. 질산성 질소를 제거하기 위한 방법으로는 역삼투법, 이온교환수지법, 전기투석법, 생물학적 방법 등이 있지만 본 연구에서는 응집 침전시키는 방법으로서 질산성 질소를 처리하고자 하였다. 응집제로 이용한 calcium alginate가 킬레이트 결합을 형성하여 질산성 질소를 응집 침전시킬 것으로 예상하고, 응집제의 성분, 응집 반응시간, 응집제의 몰비, 응집제의 주입율에 따라 질산성 질소가 제거되는 경향을 보았다. 또한 FE-SEM과 EDS(Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer)를 통하여 응집반응 후 침전물의 구조 및 구성성분비를 분석함으로써 질산성 질소가 Calcium-nitro-alginate 형태로 제거되는지를 확인하였다. 그 결과 반응시간은 60분, 응집제의 몰비는 1:1일 때, 응집제의 주입율은 합성폐수의 2 %일 때 질산성 질소의 제거율이 최대 56.7 %로 나타났다.

Pseudomonas sp. GP32가 생산하는 생물고분자 응집제 Biopol32의 실제 응용, 개발을 위하여 식품폐수, 도축폐수, 염색폐수에 대하여 응집효과를 검토하였다. 식품폐수의 경우 pH 6.0에서 70%의 화학적산소요구량(COD) 감소율과 49%의 부유고형물(SS) 제거율을 나타내었다. 도축폐수에서는 pH 4.0에서 61%의 화학적산소요구량 감소율과 91%의 부유고형물 제거율을 보였으며, 염색페수의 경우 pH 5.0에서 72%의 화학적산소요구량 감소율과 92%의 부유고형물 제거율을 보였다. 응집과정에서 형성되는 floc의 크기는 Biopol32 용액을 최종농도 20 ppm으로 첨가하였을 때 10 mm였고 이때 탈수효율은 62%였다. 생물응집제 Biopol32 첨가구와 합성응집제 PAA 첨가구에서 탈수효율이 전반적으로 가장 좋은 응집제 첨가 농도는 20 ppm으로 나타났으며, 또한 이때 자연한계함수율(78.1%)에 이르는 최단의 여과시간을 얻을 수가 있었다.

광산배수 슬러지를 대상으로 응집제와 탈수튜브를 이용한 슬러지 탈수시스템(이하 KOMIR-Tube 시스템)의 탈수율 향상을 위한 영향인자를 평가하였다. 실험은 KOMIR-Tube 시스템으로 탈수 시 함수율 90 % 이상인 semi-active 시설 슬러지를 대상으로 하였다. 실내실험을 통해 응집제 및 투입량을 결정하였고, 현장실험을 통해 탈수율을 확인하였다. 실내실험 결과, 슬러지 탈수처리 시 응집제 선정은 침강성(sedimentation) 이외 여과성(filterability)을 같이 평가해야 하고, 이때 형성된 플럭의 적정 크기는 최소 0.7 mm 이상의 크기를 유지해야 탈수율을 향상할 수 있었다. KOMIR-Tube 시스템을 이용한 현장실험 결과, 슬러지 함수율은 강우 및 습도 등 환경적 기후 조건에 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 이에 슬러지 탈수처리는 강우량과 습도가 낮은 4월~5월에 수행하는 것이 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 슬러지의 주요 구성광물 결정도에 따라 탈수율 차이를 보였다. 특히 철수산화물 중 페리하이드라이트보다 침철석 구성비가 높은 경우, 탈수율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 페리하이드라이트의 결정도가 침철석 보다 낮고 결정형태가 뚜렷하지 않기 때문으로 판단된다. 침철석은 결정도가 높고 침상을 이루고 있어 응집 및 탈수율에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. KOMIR-Tube 시스템을 이용한 광산배수 슬러지 탈수 시 탈수율에 영향을 미치는 인자는 응집제, 기후조건, 결정성 광물의 존재 유무 그리고 철화합물의 결정도 및 입자 형태로 나타났다.

오랜 기간동안 자연 상태로 퇴적되어 있는 퇴적토를 펌프준설의 방법으로 준설할 때, 안정상태의 퇴적토는 준설되는 과정에서 교란되어 침강을 촉진시키는 응결제 및 응집제를 투입하더라도 자연 상태의 퇴적토와 준설토 사이에는 필연적으로 체적변화가 발생한다. 본 연구는 동해안 속초에 위치한 석호인 영랑호의 준설토를 대상으로 실내실험을 하였으며, 준설토의 함니율 변화, 응집제 및 응결제 투입량 변화에 따른 체적변화율을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 실험결과 최적 약품첨가의 경우 준설토의 체적변화율은 평균 1.69배 증가하는 것으로 파악되었다.

The base paper of corrugated board is mainly produced from Korean old corrugated container (KOCC), and thus the recycling rate of KOCC is very high. However, there is a problem that the pulp quality is very low while the recycling rate of OCC is high. The fines content in KOCC, the main source of the corrugated board, amounts to nearly the half of the total stock, and its formation increases as recycling process repeats due to the hornification of fiber. There have been attempts to improve the drainage property of OCC by increasing the headbox concentration of the paper machine or by applying drainage-promoting polymer additives. However, these conventional methods have problems of weakened paper strength and lowered converting fitness caused by paper formation hindrance. The strength of linerboard could not be increased in case KOCC is used, because hornified OCC pulp can-not be sufficiently refined due to the lowered drainage property caused by fines formation. We studied about a new technique consisting of froth-flotation for fractionating pulp stock into a long fiber portion and fines fraction. This study will be developed in order to enhance the drainage and strength properties of a recycled OCC pulp by selective treatment of flocculant on fractionated OCC Fines.

High purity water soluble chitosans (WsCs) were employed as a flocculant to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater of industrial plating wastewater treatment complex. Their weight average molecular weights and polydispersities were 272,000~620,000 g/mol and 1.4~1.9 range, respectively and were readily soluble in water in the pH range of 3~11. Heavy metal ions such as chromium, iron and copper were removed well by WsCs. When WsCs was blended with either sodium N, N-diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate (SDDC$_{T}$) or sodium salicylate (SSc), the removal efficiency was further increased primarily due to the excess amount of hydrophilic sulfonic and carboxylic groups. Especially, in the case of WsCs-SSc the remaining chromium and copper concentrations were 0.1 mg/L and 9.5 mg/L, which are 1/15 and 1/3 compared with that of pure WsCs, respectively. The former is within the acceptable limit, but the latter is not. Therefore, the effective copper flocculant remains to be studied.d.

The aim of this study was to investigate the nutrient removal using Mg-Sericite flocculant in the dyeing wastewater. Mg-Sericite flocculant was removed successfully > 98% of the Color, SS. COD and BOD in the dyeing wastewater at the following optimal Mg-Sericite dosage: 100 mg/L for Colour and SS, 300 mg/L for BOD and COD. The removal of TN and TP was obtained 92.00% with 50 mg/L and 87.80% with 100 mg/L Mg-Sericite dosage, respectively. These results was indicated that the amount of 0.79~1.31, 0.22~0.37, 0.5 and 0.16 mg/L Mg-Sericite was necessary for 1 mg/L removal BOD, COD, TN and TP, respectively. The biopolymer, Mg-Sericite, can be a promising flocculants due to its high efficiency and low dose requirements. In addition, Mg-Sericite does not contaminate treated wastewater, which can be recycled to reduce not only the cost and the demand for water but also the extra operational costs for reusing wastewater. This flocculation method is helpful to lower the wastewater treatment cost.

Fine anthracite is very difficult to upgrade by conventional processes such as gravity concentration or froth flotation, because large quantities of fine coals are generated at the mining and preparation stages and a significant portion of these fine coals are mixed with gangue minerals. This study, therefore, was carried out for the purpose of improving recovery of low ash clean coal, effective beneficiation of low-grade coking coal and removal of sulphur from high-sulphur coals by employing the method of selective agglomeration using oil or polystrene flocculants, for coals which are generally hydrophobic in nature will be extracted by using flocculants. Studies were performed by varying solid concentration, concetration of bridging liquid, mixing speed and mixing time, balling speed and balling time, dispersant dosage, flocculant dosage, pulp pH, and particle size. The results were : when the methods of the oil agglomeration and selective flocculation were employ(in the two process the sample was ground to the size of -74 micron), 1) ash content of the agglomerated coal was 9.85, 7.83%, 2) combustibel recovery of it was 98.5%, 93.5%, respectively. It was observed in selective flocculation that polystyrene is an effective flocculant for coal, De-entrapment of shale from the concentrate flocculated by mechanical agitation was necessary for substantional reductions in final ash content.
