In the present study, surface of laccase producing Ceriporia lacerata was modified using 4-bromobutyryl chloride and polyethylenimine. The modified biomass was freeze dried and utilized as a biosorbent for the removal of Ni(II) from aqueous solution. The physicochemical properties of the biosorbent were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Batch experiments were carried out as a function of contact time (0-60 min), pH (2 to 8), adsorbent dosage (25-150 mg), and initial Ni(II) concentration (25-125 mg/L). The results indicate that surface modified biosorbent effectively adsorbed (9.5 mg/0.1 g biomass) Ni(II) present in the solution. The equilibrium adsorption data were modeled with different kinetic and isotherm models. The Ni(II) adsorption followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (R² = 0.998) and Langmuir isotherm (R² = 0.994) model. Hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups present in biomass play a major role in the adsorption of Ni(II). The adsorbed Ni(II) from the biosorbent was successfully desorbed (85%) by 1M HCl. The results of the study indicate that the surface modified C. lacerate biomass could be used for the treatment of Ni(II) contaminated ground waters.

Penicillium janthinellum의 생균체와 변형 균체를 사용한 azo와 reactive계 염료의 생흡착에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 반응액의 pH가 초기 흡착율과 탈색에 영향을 주어, 최적 pH는 3.0이었으며, 최적 온도는 $40^{\circ}C$이었다. Reactive계 염료인 Apollocion Red 7EB와 Apollfix Red SF-3B와 Apollocion Red HE-3B는 각각 초기 흡착율이 0.06, 0.086, 0.07mg/g.mm이었다. Azo와 reactive 계 염료들을 함유한 혼합염료도Pen janthinellum 균체에 흡착되어 0.084mg/g.min의 초기 흡착율을 보였다. Detergent 첨가시 탈색 백분율과 초기 흡착율은 대조군의 경우보다 낮았다. 또한 이온의 첨가는 염료의 흡착율에 영향을 미치지 않았다 Pen janthinellum의 변형 균체도 염료의 흡착율을 보였고, Apollocion Red 7EB의 흡착에 있어 이온교환수지보다 월등한 흡착능을 보였다.

This research assessed the surface properties of modified activated carbons with three different acids and five different metals for ammonia gas removal. Raw bituminous coal-based activated carbon ($4{\times}8$ mesh) had low adsorption capacity of 0.72 mg $NH_3/g$ based on the analysis in the column adsorption experiment. Adsorption capacities of carbons modified with $CH_3COOH$, $H_3PO_4$, and $H_2SO_4$ increased up to 3.34, 21.00, and 35.21 mg $NH_3/g$, respectively. Those of carbons with Cu, Zn, Zr, Fe, and Sn were 9.63, 9.13, 7.09, 25.12 and 15.03 mg $NH_3/g$. Ammonia adsorption was enhanced by the presence of surface oxygen groups on carbon materials, which influenced pH of carbon surface. BET surface area of raw carbon was analyzed to be $1087m^2/g$, but it decreased by carbon surface modification. Fe-impregnated carbon showed $503.02m^2/g$ of surface area. These observations were mostly caused by chemical adsorption.

This study was performed to develop a new process technology for advanced wastewater treatment using a modified Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactor (RABC) process that adopts anoxic-oxic suspended biomass tanks to enhance nutrients removal. A modified lab-scale RABC process was applied to examine its applicability and to obtain the design factors for the optimum operation of the system. The modified RABC process showed a little more stable and high nutrients removal efficiency than the prototype RABC process: about 70% of nitrogen and 55% of phosphorous removal when the low organic loading (influent COD 200mg/L). However, the processing efficiency of nutrients removal rates was enhanced to great extent when high organic loading: nitrogen 90% and phosphorous 85% (influent COD 500mg/L). High organic loading stimulated extremely good biomass attachment on the reticular carrier RABC stage and the excellent nutrients removal, nevertheless with almost no offensive odor.

Ordinary heterotrophic organism (OHO) active biomass plays key roles in biological wastewater treatment processes. However, due to the lack of measurement techniques, the OHO active biomass exists hypothetically within the design and simulation of biological wastewater treatment processes. This research was purposed to develop a quick and easy quantifying technique for the OHO active biomass applying a modified batch aerobic growth test. Two nitrification-denitrification activated sludge systems, with 10- and 20-day sludge ages, were operated to provide well-cultured mixed liquor to the batch tests. A steady state design model was firstly applied to quantify the "theoretical" OHO active biomass concentration of the two parent systems. The mixed liquor from the parent systems was then inoculated to a batch growth test and a batch digestion test to estimate the "measured" OHO active biomass concentration in the mixed liquor. The measured OHO active biomass concentrations with the batch growth test and the batch digestion test were compared to the theoretical concentrations of the parent system. The measured concentrations with the batch growth test were generally smaller than the theoretical concentrations. However, the measured concentrations with the batch aerobic digestion tests showed a good correlation to the theoretical concentrations. Thus, a different microbial growth condition (i.e., a higher food/biomass ratio) in the batch growth test, compared to the parent system or the batch digestion test, was found to cause underestimation of the OHO active biomass concentrations.

Marine biomass is considered an important substrate for anaerobic digestion to recovery energy i.e. methane. Nevertheless, marine biomass has attracted little attention by researchers compared to terrestrial feedstock for anaerobic digestion. In this study, biochemical methane potential (BMP) test was used to evaluate generation of renewable energy from starfish. A cumulative biogas yield of $748{\pm}67mL\;g^{-1}VS^{-1}$ was obtained after 60 days of digestion. The cumulative methane yield of $486{\pm}28mL\;CH_4\;g^{-1}VS^{-1}$ was obtained after 60 days of digestion. The methane content of the biogas was approximately 70%. The calculated data applying the modified Gompertz equation for the cumulative $CH_4$ production showed good correlation with the experimental result obtained from this batch study. Since the result obtained from this study is comparable to results with other substrates, marine biomass can be co-digested with food waste or swine wastewater to produce $CH_4$ gas that will help to reduce the gap in global energy demand.

This paper proposes a modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) type membrane bioreactor (MBR) as a method of treatment for wastewater from food waste disposer. Micro-membrane filtration allows for an extremely low concentration of suspended solids in the effluent. The effluent of the reactor in question is characterized by a relatively high level of non-biodegradable organics, containing a substantial amount of soluble microbial products and biomass. Results obtained in this paper by measurement of membrane fouling are consistent with biomass concentration in the reactor, as opposed to chemical oxygen demand (COD). The MLE process is shown to be effective for the treatment of wastewater with a high COD/N ratio of 20, resulting in are markedly high total nitrogen removal efficiency. Denitrification could be improved at a higher internal recycle ratio. Despite the low concentration of influent phosphorus, the phosphorus concentration of the outflow is seen to be relatively high. This is because outflow phosphorous concentration is related to COD consumption, and the process operates at along solids retention time.

생물흡착은 염색폐수로부터 염료를 제거하기 위한 기술로서 현재 사용되고 있는 기술을 대체할 수 있는 유망한 처리 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 생물흡착제로써 저가이면서 풍부한 소재중의 하나인 하수 슬러지를 이용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 바이오매스의 변형을 통하여 흡착능력을 향상시키는데 있다. FT-IR 분석과 적정실험을 통하여 흡착에 관여하는 작용기는 카르복실 그룹, 인산 그룹, 아민 그룹으로 판명하였으며 그 중에서 반응성 염료(Reactive Red 4, RR 4)를 흡착할 수 있는 작용기는 아민 그룹임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 음이온성 염료인 RR 4의 흡착을 저해하는 것으로 생각되는 카르복실 그룹을 제거함으로써 흡착성능을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그 결과, 카르복실 그룹이 제거된 바이오매스의 최대 흡착량이 변형 전에 비해 pH 2에서는 130%, pH 4에서는 210% 증가하였다. 그러므로 화학적으로 변형시킨 하수 슬러지는 산업폐수내 염료제거에 효과적이면서 값싼 생물흡착제로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
