Genetically engineered strains of Pseudomonas, which could degrade the various aromatic hydrocarbons, were acclimated to the synthetic wastewater with increasing substrate concentration. All of the tested strains except KUD101 showed 70-90% of the COD removal efficiencies. Acclimated strains, Pseudomonas putida KUD106, KUD107 and KUD108 were inoculated into the ordinary activated sludge and these sludges were used in the dyeing or alkylbenzene wastewater treatment system. In the case of the wastewater containing alkylbenzene compounds, COD removal efficiency was 12-14% higher than that of the ordinary activated sludge, while it was not effective for dyeing wastewater. On the other hand, the floc formation of the activated sludge inoculated with genetically engineered strains was more rapid in both wastewaters tested than that of the activated sludge by the ordinary natural strains.

유지와 탄화수소를 탄소원으로 하여 Acinetobacter calcoaceticus를 배양하여 탄소원의 분해와 균체의 생육정도를 측정하고 활성오니법을 이용한 폐수정화에 이 균주의 이용가능성을 검토하였다. 실험에 사용된 모든 유지와 탄화수소가 분해되었다. 삼각플라스크에 의한 진탕배양의 경우 분해율은 어유가 26로 식물성 유지의 40-54에 비하여 분해율이 낮게 나타났다. 포화지방산은 어유 중에서 약 55, 식물성유지 중에서는 6-12 각각 함유되어 있었다. Hexadecane의 분해율은 약 60로 식물성유지에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 탄소원의 분해에 따라 균체량의 증가가 관찰되었고, jar fermentor 배양에 의하면 모든 탄소원이 80 이상 분해되었고 균체수율도 1.00% 내외로 개선되었다.배양조건에 따라 탄소원의 분해율에 영향을 받는다고 볼 수 있으며, 이는 초기 기질농도가 기질 분해율에 영향을 준 결과에서도 증명되었다. 유지 또는 탄화수소를 3% 함유한 인공폐수를 A. calcoaceticus로 우선 분해시키고, 그 분해산물을 활성오니법에 의하여 정화를 시도한 결과 탄소원의 농도는 0.06%이하로, 부유물질농도는 53mg/ml 이하로 각각 저하되어 이 균주를 폐수정화에 이용할 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Wastewaters being treated and final effluents were collected from 3 wastewater treatment plants of petrochemical industries, from August 31 to October 4, 1993 in an interval of 10 days, and further analysed by GC/FID to investigate discharge situation and removal efficiency on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The results were as follows: 1. The PAHs 294.57 $\mu$g/l were discharged in primary treatment effluent of plant A to manufacture vinyl acetate resin and acryl, and removed 54.51% by aeration and totally 84.71%. 2. The PAHs of the highest concentration were discharged in primary treatment effluent of plant B to manufacture PS resin and ABS resin, but removed 91.65% by activated sludge process and 98.19% by activated carbon to discharge PAHs of the lowest concentration comparing to another treatment operations. 3. The PAHs 99.96 $\mu$g/l of the lowest concentration were discharged in wastewater of plant C to manufacture epoxy resin, and removed 80.48% by activated sludge process. 4. B treatment system including activated carbon showed up the best removal efficiency of PAHs. Activated carbon therefore, seems to be effective as tertiary treatment. 5. Correlation coefficient of components to total PAHs was generally low, and correlation coefficients of phenanthrene, pyrene and acenaphthylene to total PAHs were each 0.98, 0.97 and 0.80, respectively. Correlation coefficient of the sum of phenanthrene, pyrene and acenaphthylene to total PAHs was 0.99, so that the sum of phenanthrene, pyrene and acenaphthylene was available as index to estimated total PAHs. 6. Phenanthrene and Chrysene were very well treated biologically and acenaphthylene and fluoranthene were untreated biologically. 7. Considering EPA standards, it seems that the concentration of phenanthrene, pyrene, fluoranthene, and benzo(k)fluoranthene is high level.

Fecal sterols, nonylphenolic compounds (NPs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in surface water from Masan Bay and its adjacent rivers in February 2005. Concentrations of coporstanol (Cop), an indicator of fecal pollution, in surface water ranged from <10 to 13,853 ng/L, and concentrations of nonylphenol, the most toxic of the NPs, ranged from 10.2 to 481 ng/L, and concentrations of PAHs ranged from 8.61 to 223 ng/L. The concentrations of the compounds measured in this study were lower than or comparable to those at other locations in Korea and other countries. The contamination of Cop and PAHs in surface water was associated with the discharge from rivers passing through cities and/or industrial complexes. The NP contamination was associated with wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents through outfalls as well as riverine discharge. Compared to ecotoxicological values, the concentrations of NPs from rivers, the mouths of rivers, and WWTP outfall areas exceeded guidelines, suggesting that hot spot areas may pose a potential risk to sensitive species.

The 16 priority PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) designated by US Environmental Protection Agency were analyzed for some digested sludges from wastewater treatment plants in Korea. PAHs are an important group of organic contaminants present in sewage sludge due to their persistence and toxic potential. PAHs were extracted from freeze-dried sludges using a methylene chloride-methanol (2:1) mixture in a soxhlet extractor. The extracts were cleaned-up by silica gel/alumina combination column and subsequently fed into gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) for determining PAH contents. The sum of the 16 PAHs in the sewage sludge varied from 534.8 to $5754.5 {\cal}ug/{\cal}kg$, dry wt.. In the sewage sludge, phenanthrene appears as the most abundant PAHs, followed by naphthalene, pyrene, fluoranthene. Source of the investigated sewage sludges relatively predominated pyrogenic. PAHs levels of sewage sludges in Korea appeared to be lower than those in other countries.

This study was to evaluate the feasibility of recycling the solids separated from swine wastewater treatment process as a fuel source for heat production and to provide a data set on the gas emissions and combustion properties. Also, in this study, the heavy metals in ash content were analyzed for its possible use as a fertilizer. Proximate analysis of the solid recovered from the swine wastewater after flocculation with organic polymer showed high calorific (5,330.50 kcal/kg) and low moisture (15.38%) content, indicating that the solid separated from swine wastewater can be used as an alternative fuel source. CO and NOx emissions were found to increase with increasing temperature. Combustion efficiency of the solids was found to be stable (95 to 98%) with varied temperatures. Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) showed five thermal effects (four exothermic and one endothermic), and these effects were distinguished in three stages, water evaporation, heterogeneous combustion of hydrocarbons and decomposition reaction. Based on the calorific value and combustion stability results, solid separated from swine manure can be used as an alternative source of fuel, however further research is still warranted regarding regulation of CO and NOx emissions. Furthermore, the heavy metal content in ash was below the legal limits required for its usage as fertilizer.

방향족화합물들로 오염되어있는 토양 및 산업폐수를 포함한 각종 시료로부터 phenol에 분해활성이 높은 56균주를 순수분리 하였으며, 이들 분리 균주 중 균체생육과 phenol 분해활성이 가장 높은 균주인 GN13을 선별하였다. 분리균주 GN13은 형태학적, 생리학적 및 생화학적 특성을 조사한 결과 Neisseria 속 세균과 유사한 것으로 판명되어 최종적으로 Neisseria sp. GN13으로 명명하였다. 분리균주 Neisseria sp. GN13의 균체생육 및 phenol 분해를 위한 최적온도와 최적 pH는 각각 $32^{\circ}C$와 7.0였다. 유일 탄소원으로 phenol 1,000 mg/l를 포함하여 최적화된 배지를 사용한 jar-fermentor 배지에서 배양 30시간에 균체생육이 최대에 이르렀으며 배양 27시간째 거의 모든 phenol이 분해되었으며, catechol deoxygenase 활성측정에 의하여 Neisseria sp. GN13은 meta-와 ortho-pathway를 통하여 catechol 분해가 일어났다. Neisseria sp. GN13은 phenol 함유 인공폐수에서의 phenol 분해율은 배양 30시간 만에 97%의 phenol이 분해되는 것으로 나타났으며, 인공폐수에 대한 Neisseria sp. GN13과 활성슬러지 처리구에서의 TOC 제거효율은 각각 83%와 78%였다. 석유화학폐수에 대한 Neisseria sp. GN13의 COD 제거율은 활성슬러지만을 포함한 대조구보다 약 1.3배 높은 효율을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 분리균주 Neisseria sp. GN13은 phenol을 함유하고 있는 여러 폐수에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The objective of this study is the removal of chromium from tannery wastewater by electrosorption on carbon prepared from lignocellulosic natural residue "peach stones' thermally treated. The followed steps for obtaining coal in chronological order were: cleaning, drying, crushing and finally its carbonization at $900^{\circ}C$. The characterization of the carbon material resulted in properties comparable to those of many coals industrially manufactured. The study of the dynamic adsorption of chromium on the obtained material resulted in a low removal rate (33.7%) without applied potential. The application of negative potentials of -0.7 V and -1.4 increases the adsorption of chromium up to 90% and 96% respectively. Whereas a positive potential of +1.4V allows desorption of the contaminant of 138%.
