In this study, the toluene gas in VOCs was removed using bioreactor which applied with hollow fiber membrane and Pseudomonas sp. TDB-4. The EBRT of each reactor are controlled 60 sec(R-1) and 30 sec(R-2) and inlet tolune concentration of both R-1 and R-2 is controlled from 25ppm to 500 ppm. Up to 500 ppm of toluene concentration, the toluene removal efficiency of R-1 and R-2 are 92% and 81%, and theirs removal capacities are about 100 g/$m^3$/hr and 180 g/$m^3$/hr, respectively. In addition, according to this study, toluene removal efficiencies at the hollow fiber are approximately 70%(60 sec) and 45%(30sec).

A membrane bioreactor (MBR) was designed using polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)-type hollow fiber membrane modules with a treatment capacity of 10 ton/day. A pilot plant was installed in a sewage treatment plant and was operated with an intermittent aeration method which avoids any concentration gradient of suspended solids (SS) in the MBR. For continuous operation, the pilot plant was first tested with influent (mixed liquor suspended solid:MLSS of 1000-2000 mg/L) of aeration tanks in the sewage treatment plant. The MBR was pre-treated with washing water, 10% ethanol solution, 5% NaOCl solution and finally washing water, one after another. To demonstrate the effect of the MBR on sewage treatment, compared with conventional activated sludge processes, we investigated the relationships among permeate amount (LMH), change in operation conditions, influent MLSS level and sludge production. It was found that the optimum aeration rate and suction pressure were $0.3\;m^3$/min and 30~31 cmHg, respectively. Under stable conditions in aeration, suction pressure, influent flow rate and drainage, the SS removal efficiency was more than 99.99% even when the MLSS loading rate changes. Compared with conventional activated sludge processes, the MBR was more effective in cost reduction by 27% based on permeate amount and by 51.5% on sludge production.

Succinic acid was produced by Enterococcus faecalis RKY1 cells immobilized in hollow fiber bioreactor as an alternatively immobilized culture in bioconversion of fumaric acid to succinic acid. The feed was pumped through the shell side. As the flow rate of the feed was increased, the steady state was obtained more quickly. The steady state was reached after 24 hr cultivation in 0.25 ml/min, 12 hr in 0.5 ml/min, and 9 hr in 1.0 ml/min, respectively. The effect of medium pH on succinate production was also investigated. By changing the medium pH of 8.0, the succinic acid produced was increased about 16% than that of pH 7.0.

In this work, treatment of real hypersaline refinery wastewater by hollow fiber membrane bioreactor coupled with reverse osmosis unit was studied. The ability of HF-MBR and RO developed in this work, was evaluated through examination of the effluent properties under various operating conditions including hydraulic retention time and flux. Arak refinery wastewater was employed as influent of the bioreactor which consists of an immersed ultrafiltation membrane. The HF-MBR/RO was run for 6 months. Average elimination performance of chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, total suspended solids, volatile suspended solids, total dissolved soild and turbidity were obtained 82%, 89%, 98%, 99%, 99% and 98% respectively. Highly removal performance of oily contaminant, TDS and the complete retention of suspends solids implies good potential of the HF-MBR/RO system for wastewater refinement.

Using the hollow fiber membrane module in a lab-scale membrane bioreactor, the anoxic- oxic (AO) process for nitrogen removal was operated for about one year. For the influent wastewater containing 1,200-1,400 mg $1^{-1}$ of CODcr and 200-310 mg $1^{-1}$ of nitrogen, this process achieved a high quality effluent of less than 30 mgCOD $liter^{-1}$ and 50 mgN $liter^{-1}$. The removal rate of organics was above 98% at a loading rate larger than 2.5 kgCOD $m^{-3}$$d^{-1}$. When the internal recycle from the oxic to the anoxic reactor changed room 2n to 600% rout the influent flow rate, the nitrogen removal rate increased from about 70 to 90% at a loading rate of 0.4 kgT-N m-s d-1. The initial increase of transmembrane pressure (TMP) was observed after a 4-month operation while maintaining the flux and MLSS concentration at 7-9 1 $m^2$ $h^{-1}$ and 6,000-14,000 mg $1^{-1}$, respectively. The TMP could be maintained below 15 cmHg for an 8-month operation. The chemical cleaning with an acid followed by an immersion in an alkali solution gave better cleaning result with the membrane operated for 10 month rather than that only by an alkali immersion.

본 연구는 침지형태로 운전되는 중공사막 결합형 생물반응기(HFMB) 시스템의 VOC 처리능력 및 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 일차적으로 미생물이 없는 조건에서 VOC 물질전달을 알아보기 위한 abiotic test를 통해, 본 연구에서 사용한 HFMB는 미세기포를 이용한 산기관과 유사한 물질전달율을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 그러나 HFMB는 일반 산기관 시스템과는 달리 기체 유속과 중공사막 개수를 증가시켜 물질전달율을 더욱 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 예측된다. 또한 반응조에 톨루엔 분해 미생물을 첨가하고 다양한 유입부하 조건에서의 기체상 톨루엔 제거 실험을 수행하였는데, 50, 100, $500\;g/m^3/hr$의 유입부하 조건에서 $70{\sim}80%$ 수준의 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 추가적으로 수행된 분해능 실험에서는 최대 $800\;g/m^3/hr$ 이상의 분해능을 실험적으로 확인하여, 문헌에 제시된 기존 생물여과공법의 최대분해능($50{\sim}100\;g/m^3/hr$) 보다 월등히 높았다. 따라서 HFMB는 기존의 VOC 저감기술을 대치할 수 있는 친환경적인 기술이라고 판단된다.

Large-scale resolution of epoxides by the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis was demonstrated in an aqueous/organic two-phase cascade membrane bioreactor. Due to the chemical instability and low solubility of epoxides in aqueous phases, an organic solvent was introduced into the reaction mixture in order to enhance resolution of epoxide. A cascade hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor was used (i) to minimize the toxicity of organic solvents towards the epoxide hydrolase of Rhodotorula glutinis, and (ii) to remove inhibitory amounts of formed diol from the yeast cell containing aqueous phase. Dodecane was selected as a suitable solvent and 1,2-epoxyhexane as a model substrate. By use of this membrane bioreactor, highly concentrated (0.9 M in dodecane) enantiopure (>98% ee) (S)-1,2-epoxyhexane (6.5 g, 30% yield) was obtained from its racemic mixture.

본 연구는 산기관(diffuser) 형태로 운전되는 중공사막 생물반응기(Hollow Fiber Membrane Diffuser) 시스템을 복합오염물질(benzene, toluene, p-xylene, BTX)처리에 적용해 보고, 생물반응기에 의한 각 물질의 생분해 특성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 우선 toluene을 단일오염물질로 적용한 예비 실험기간 동안에 75%수준의 안정적인 처리 효율을 확인할 수 있었다. 이후 BTX 복합오염물질을 적용한 본 실험기간 동안에도 별도의 적응기간 및 악영향 없이 70%수준의 처리효율을 얻어낼 수 있었다. 이를 통하여 toluene분해 미생물의 benzene, p-xylene의 분해 능력을 확인하였으며, toluene의 경우 복합오염물질 적용 시 다른 두 물질에 의해 소폭의 분해 저해가 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 분해능 실험에서 측정한 생물반응기의 BTX 분해능은 약 360 $g/m^3/hr$이었으며, 이는 기존의 생물여과공법에 제시된 최대분해능보다 높은 우수한 분해능이었다. 따라서 산기관 형태의 중공사막 생물반응기는 복합오염물질 처리에도 안정적인 운전특성을 나타내었으며, 기존의 VOCs 저감기술을 대체할 수 있는 친환경적인 기술이라고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 국내 우리텍사의 PVDF계 중공사 막을 4 bundle 씩 묶어 모듈을 제작하였으며, 처리용량은 10 ton/day로 설정하여 반응조 내 부유고형물(suspended solid; SS) 의 농도구배가 없도록 하부로부터 간헐 폭기하는 방식을 선택하여 부산 수영하수처리장에 pilot plant를 설치하였다. Pilot plant는 정상 운전을 위하여 하수처리장의 폭기조로부터 유입된 mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) 1,000 ppm 정도의 원수를 시험 여과하고, 세척수로 2회 세척, 10% 에탄올 용액으로 1회 세척, 그리고 NaOCl 5% 용액으로 1회 세척 과정을 거치고 마지막으로 세척수로 최종 세척한 후 운전하였다. 결과적으로, 화학세정 후 membrane bioreactor (MBR) 내의 잔류수를 원수로 운전한 결과 SS 제거효율이 99.9% 이상을 보이고 있는 결과와 폭기조 유입수를 원수로 운전하여, 여과 수량은 초기 조건에 비해 16% 감소, suction pressure 는 30% 상승하고 있음을 확인한 결과를 연속 운전 조건으로 설정하였다. 연속 운전한 결과, 유입수 mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS)가 1,900 mg/L의 조건에서 SS 제거 효율은 99.99% 이었으며 여과수량은 $42{\sim}52L/m^2$ h, suction pressure가 16~20 cmHg로 안정 상태로 운전되고 있음을 확인하였다. 다만, 여과수 저장조의 유출구와 유입구에서의 SS 제거 효율에 영향을 미치는 조류의 발생 억제에 관한 방법이 재고되어 여과수의 재이용 범위를 설정할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
