Nitrogen, in its various forms, can deplete dissolved oxygen levels in receiving waters, stimulate aquatic growth, exhibit toxicity toward aquatic life and affect the suitability of sewage for reuse. Pilot-scale Rotating Biological Contactor(RBC) experiments were conducted to examine biological nitrification, respectively, of municipal sewage with five different internal recirculation ratios of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 using the constant hydraulic loading of $205L/m^2{\cdot}day$. The use of internal recirculation improved nitrification on account of the dilution of biodegradable organic carbon in influent sewage down to 15 mg/L of $SBOD_5$ or less. Ammonium nitrogen of $14.3{\pm}2.4%$ was consumed by cellular assimilation without the occurrence of denitrification. The thickness of biofilm didn't seem effect significantly the nitrification and denitrification. Nitrification with internal recirculation was found to occur using hydraulic loading rate of as high as $205L/m^2{\cdot}day$, which was beyond the generally known values of it.

본 연구는 도시하수 처리시 부유성장 미생물만을 이용하는 MLE(Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) 공정과 부유 및 부착 미생물을 동시에 활용하는 하이브리드(hybrid)형 공정인 M-Dephanox(Modified-Dephanok) 공정의 유기물, 질소 및 인 제거효율을 수리학적 체류시간에 따라 상호 비교 검토하고자 하였다. H-Dephanox 공정은 기존 Dephanox 공정의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 고안된 공정으로서 기존 Dephanox 공정에 비해 탈질 효율을 증가시킬 수 있도록 고안되었다. 수리학적 체류시간에 따른 유기물, 질소 및 인 제거효율을 관찰한 결과 하이브리드 공정인 H-Dephanox 공정이 MLE 공정에 비해 높은 제거효율이 관찰되었으며, 특히 질산화의 경우 수리학적 체류시간이 6, 5, 4, 3.5 hr으로 짧아짐에 따라 MLE 공정이 M-Dephanox 공정에 비해 질산화 영향을 더 심하게 받는 것으로 나타났다. M-Dephanox 공정의 질화반응조에서의 암모니아성 질소 제거 효율은 질산화 반응조의 HRT 1.59 hr에서 약 92%를 나타내 매우 짧은 수리학적 체류시간에서도 질산화 반응이 원활하게 일어나는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었으며, 질산화 반응조로 유입되는 유기물의 영향을 심하게 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 질산화 반응조에서의 HRT 단축은 전체 공정의 HRT도 줄이는 결과를 가져옴을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

Two hollow fiber membrane biofilm reactors (HF-MBfRs) were operated for autotrophic nitrification and hydrogenotrophic denitrification for over 300 days. Oxygen and hydrogen were supplied through the hollow fiber membrane for nitrification and denitrification, respectively. During the period, the nitrogen was removed with the efficiency of 82-97% for ammonium and 87-97% for nitrate and with the nitrogen removal load of 0.09-0.26 kg NH₄⁺-N/m³/d and 0.10-0.21 kg NO₃^--N/m³/d, depending on hydraulic retention time variation by the two HF-MBfRs for autotrophic nitrification and hydrogenotrophic denitrification, respectively. Biofilms were collected from diverse topological positions in the reactors, each at different nitrogen loading rates, and the microbial communities were analyzed with partial 16S rRNA gene sequences in denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Detected DGGE band sequences in the reactors were correlated with nitrification or denitrification. The profile of the DGGE bands depended on the NH₄⁺ or NO₃^- loading rate, but it was hard to find a major strain affecting the nitrogen removal efficiency. Nitrospira-related phylum was detected in all biofilm samples from the nitrification reactors. Paracoccus sp. and Aquaspirillum sp., which are an autohydrogenotrophic bacterium and an oligotrophic denitrifier, respectively, were observed in the denitrification reactors. The distribution of microbial communities was relatively stable at different nitrogen loading rates, and DGGE analysis based on 16S rRNA (341f /534r) could successfully detect nitrate-oxidizing and hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria but not ammonium-oxidizing bacteria in the HF-MBfRs.

토양에서 질소변화과정에 관한 보다나은 이해력 증진은 질소비료의 효용성을 증대시키기 위한 필수적 요인이다. 실험실 실험은 대표적인 Piedmont토양에 있어 질소무기화 및 질산화작용을 구명하기 위해 수행하였다. 질소무기화 및 질산화 량은 Enon, Mecklenburg, Chewcla토양의 표토층에서 60 일까지 증가되었으며, 그후로부터 90일까지는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 Wehadkee토양에서 질소의 무기화 및 질산화 량은 숙성시간에 따라 차이가 없었다. 위에서 열거한 모든 토양의 토심이 15-30cm의 토층에서 질소무기화 및 질산화 량은 90 일까지 시간이 경과함에 따라 증가하였다. 토양에 있어 질소무기화 및 질산화 량은 토심별로 토양종류에 따라 다르게 나타났으며, 이러한 차이점은 토양통풍 및 질산화 bacteria의 수에 영향을 받은 것으로 사료된다. 전반적으로, 질소의 무기화 및 질산화 량은 subsurface lagers보다는 표토층에서 많은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal of ammonium nitrogen by biological nitrification in raw water containing LAS using BAC. At batch teats, LAS removal by ozone followed the first order reaction, and the rate constants(k) by ozone dose 1, 3mg/min.L were $0.040min^{-1}$, $0.062min^{-1}$ respectively. Therefore, the more ozone was dosed, the higher LAS was removed The reaction between ozone and ammonium nitrogen also followed the first order, and rate constants(k) at pH7,8 and 9 were $8.9{\times}10^{-4}min-1$, $3.8{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$, and $2.9{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ respectively at ozone dose of 3mg/min.L . Therefore, ammonium nitrogen was little removed by ozone under neutral pH of 7. The continuous flow apparatus had four sets composed of a ozone contacter and a GAC column. Through continuous filtration test for 50days, the following conclusions were derived; (1) LAS was removed 23%, 30% respectively by ozone dose 1, 3mg/L, and was not detected in all column effluents during the period of experiment. Therefore, it appeared that adsorption capacities of each column still remained. (2) Ammonium nitrogen concentration after ozone contact varied little in raw Water because pH of raw water was from 6 to 7, and was transfered to nitrite and nitrate within GAC columns as the result of staged nitrification. After 30days, nitrite was not detected in all column effluents due to biological equilbrium between nitro semonas and nitrobacter Average removals of ammonium nitrogen in each column after the lapse of 30days were the following; ${\cdot}$ column A (ozone dose 3mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): about 100% ${\cdot}$ column B (ozone dose 1mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): 91% ${\cdot}$ column C (ozone dose 3mg/L, EBCT 14.2min): about 100% ${\cdot}$ column D (ozone dose 0mg/L, EBCT 9.5min): 53% Though column A and C reached nitrification of about 100%, column C (longer EBCT than column A) was more stable than column A. (3) After backwash, nitrification reached steady state within 5 to 8 hours. Therefore, nitrification was not greatly affected by backwash. (4) According to the nitrification capacity in depth of column A, C, where 100% nitrification occured. LAS was removed within 20cm, while ammonium nitrogen required more depth to be removed by nitrification.

산업단지 인근에 위치한 하수처리장은 유입되는 산업폐수 내 중금속으로 인해 질산화 효율이 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 실험실 규모 반응조 운전 결과를 바탕으로 산업폐수가 유입되는 하수처리장의 질산화 효율 개선을 위해 중금속과 체류시간이 질산화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 운전 결과를 바탕으로 질산화율 향상을 위한 하수처리장 운전 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 실험실 반응조 운전 결과 체류시간 0.5일 이상으로 운전 할 경우 60% 이상의 질산화율을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 동일한 조건에서 일반 도시하수처리장 시료를 이용하는 경우보다 낮은 효율을 보이는 것으로 조사되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 보인 원인으로 산업 폐수 내 함유된 중금속의 영향으로 질산화 미생물의 활성(SNR 기준)을 분석하였다. S 하수처리장과 일반 하수처리장 시료(A MWTPame )를 이용한 반응조의 SNR은 각각 0.13 ~ 0.21 mg NH4/gMLSS/hr과 0.74 mg NH4/gMLSS/hr의 범위를 보였다. 이는 S 하수처리장 시료를 유입수로 하는 반응조 내 미생물의 활성이 낮음을 확인 할 수 있다. 따라서 산업폐수가 유입되는 하수처리장에서 질산화 효율개선을 위해 체류시간 증가 및 전처리를 통한 중금속 처리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The dynamics of nitrogen compounds and RNA-based functional genes were characterized in the nitrification-denitrification coupling process. For the removal of residual ammonium, intermittent aeration was introduced in the denitrification reactor. N₂O production was not observed in both reactors. In both reactors, the nitrifying genes (achaeal-amoA, bacterial-amoA and hor) and denitrifying genes (narG, nirK, norB and nosZ) had a copy number of 3.92 × 10²-7.25 × 10⁵ and 2.85 × 10²-3.06 × 10⁴ per ng of DNA, respectively. These results suggest that denitrification and nitrification reactions occur in both the nitrification and denitrification reactors, respectively. Therefore, the coupling process is a promising one for the conversion of ammonium to nitrogen without generating N₂O.

Differences in DNA banding patterns, obtained by ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA), and nitrification were followed in a moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) receiving municipal landfill leachate. Complete nitrification (>99%) to nitrate was obtained in the two-stage MBBR system with an ammonium load of 1.09 g N-$NH_4/m^2{\cdot}d$. Increasing the ammonium load to 2.03 g N-$NH_4/m^2{\cdot}d$or more caused a decline in process efficiency to 70-86%. Moreover, at the highest ammonium load (3.76 g N-$NH_4/m^2{\cdot}d$), nitrite was the predominant product of nitrification. Community succession was evident in both compartments in response to changes in ammonium load. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) supported by similarity analysis (ANOSIM) showed that microbial biofilm communities differed between compartments. The microbial biofilm was composed mainly of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), with Nitrosomonas europeae and N. eutropha being most abundant. These results suggest that high ammonium concentrations suit particular AOB strains.

This study induced biological denitrification and nitrification via a biofiltration process with the view of removing nitrogen from land-based fish farm effluent. To achieve this, we operated an aquaculture nitrogen-removal system that includes a denitrification and nitrification reactor [working volume 40 L, flow rate 64.8 L, HRT (hydraulic retention time) 14.8 h, HRT considering recycling of NOx 7.4 h]. In the continuous process, the nitrification rate of ammonium nitrogen exceeded 90% at a steady state and the denitrification efficiency exceeded 80% with recycling to a pre-anoxic reactor. In addition, the pH in the final effluent was lower with a low influent water alkalinity averaging 100 mg/L (as $CaCO_3$). For effective denitrification reactions, carbon must be supplied via particulate organic matter (POM) hydrolysis because of the low C/N (carbon/nitrogen) ratio in the water.

There have been many studies on biofilter process regarding satisfactory water quality and the operational conditions of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS). For effective nitrification processes, it is necessary to dynamically identify and apply nitrifying microorganisms. Physical, chemical and biological processes concerning biofilms can be applied and influential factors including substrate, dissolved oxygen concentrations, organic matter, temperature, pH, alkalinity, salinity and mixing velocity intensity need to be considered. Also, designing and managing the process based on the dynamic interpretation of these factors are prerequisites for engineering applications of the biofilter process. This paper draws on current literature on the kinetics of nitrification of biofilms in the biofilter process. Influential factors for nitrification are crucial during the biofilter process and are expected to be critical in informing the design and operation of recirculating aquaculture systems.
