A pilot-scale biofilm nitiritation reactor was operated with the reject water from a large wastewater treatment plant. The effects of various operating parameters including pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, solids and organic concentrations were examined. A stable nitritation was achieved at operating pH range of 7.3 to 8.8 with an alkalinity addition. Higher operating temperature of $35{\pm}0.7^{\circ}C$ achieved more stable nitritation compared to $30{\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$. It has been noticed that nitrite accumulation maintained with DO, solids and organic concentrations range of 0.8 to 3.9 mg/L, 3,400 to 11,000 mg/L, and 86 to 572 mg/L, respectively. It seems that the accumulation of nitrite was caused by both the inhibition of $NO_2{^-}$ oxidizers due to free ammonia and the maintenance of the high operating temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ which promote to accumulate the $NH_4{^+}$ oxidizers in the reactor. According to microbial community analysis of fluorescence in situ hybridization and INT-Dehydrogenase measurements, more nitrifiers were presented in attached form compared to suspended growth.

A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate nitrogen removal from plating wastewater by a soil reactor. A combination of soil, waste oyster shell and activated sludge were used as a loading media in a soil reactor. The addition of 20% waste oyster shell and activated sludge to the soil accelerated nitrification (88.6% ${NH_4}^{+}-N$ removal efficiency) and denitrification (84.3% ${NO_3}^{-}-N$ removal) in the soil reactor, respectively. In continuous removal, the influent ${NH_4}^{+}-N$ was mostly converted to nitrate nitrogen in the nitrification soil reactor and only a small amount of ${NH_4}^{+}-N$ was found in the effluent. When methanol was added as a carbon source to the denitrification soil reactor, the average removal efficiency of ${NO_3}^{-}-N$ significantly increased. The ${NO_3}^{-}-N$ removal by methanol addition in the denitrification soil reactor was mainly due to denitrification. The phosphorus was removed by the waste oyster shell media in the nitrification soil reactor. Moreover, the phosphorus removal in the denitrification soil reactor was achieved by synthesis of bacteria and the denitrification under anaerobic conditions. The approximate number of nitrifiers and denitrifiers was $3.3{\times}10^5\;MPN/g$ soil at a depth of $1{\sim}10\;cm$ and $3.3{\times}10^6\;MPN/g$ soil at a depth of $10{\sim}20\;cm$, respectively, in the soil reactor mixed with a waste oyster shell media and activated sludge.

Soil column experiments were evaluated effects of silver nanoparticles (i.e., 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/L) on the microbial viability which is strongly associated with the degradation of organic matter, pharmaceutically active compounds(PhACs) and biological oxidation of nitrogenous compounds during river bank filtration. The addition of silver nanoparticles resulted in almost no change in the aqueous matrix. However, the intact cell concentration decreased with addition of silver nanoparticles from 2.5 to 10 mg/L, which accounted for 76% to 82% reduction compared to that of control (silver nanoparticles free surface water). The decrease in adenosine triphosphate was more pronounced; thus, the number and active cells in aqueous phase were concurrently decreased with added silver nanoparticles. Based on the florescence excitation-emission matrix and liquid chromatograph - organic carbon detection analyses, it shows that the removal of protein-like substances was relatively higher than that of humic-like substances, and polysaccharide was substantially reduced. But the extent of those substances removed during soil passage was decreased with the increasing concentration of silver nanoparticles. The attenuation of ionic PhACs ranged from 55% to 80%, depending on the concentration of silver nanoparticles. The attenuation of neutral PhACs ranged between 72% and 77%, which was relatively lower than that observed for the ionic PhACs. The microbial viability was affected by silver nanoparticles, which also resulted in inhibition of nitrifiers.

본 실험은 질화세균을 고정화한 충전층 생물반응기에서 저농도 암모니아성 질소(total ammonia nitrogen, TAN)의 제거 시 수력학적 체류시간(hydraulic residence time, HRT), 유입수 암모니아성 질소농도 및 온도에 의한 영향을 평가하였다. 수력학적 체류시간이 감소함에 따라 암모니아성 질소의 제거속도는 증가하였고, 암모니아성 질소의 제거 시 최적 수력학적 체류시간은 0.2시간이었다. 수력학적 체류시간이 0.2시간에서 암모니아성 질소의 제거속도는 $226.1\;g/m^3{\cdot}day$, 제거효율은 88.8%을 나타내었다. 유입수 암모니아성 질소 농도가 증가함에 따라 암모니아성 질소의 제거속도는 증가하였다. 온도 $20{\sim}35^{\circ}C$에서 암모니아성 질소의 제거속도와 제거효율은 일정하게 유지했다.

유기성 오염원(생활하수 처리시설 방류수) 유무에 따른 질화 세균의 변화를 알아보기 위해 낙동강의 2 조사수역에서 다양한 형태의 질소(T-N, $NH_4$-N, $NO_2$-N, $NO_3$-N) 농도를 측정하였고 조사 수역에 있는 질화세균 종류를 확인한 후, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH)법으로 질화세균 수를 정량 평가하였다. 즉 암모니아 산화세균의 종류는 amoA 유전자, 그리고 아질산 산화 세균인 Nitrobacter sp.는 SSU 16S rDNA 특정 기호서열을 목표로 한 PCR-DGGE를 수행한 후 염기서열 분석으로 그들이 각각 Nitrosomonas sp., Nitrobacter sp.임이 확인됨에 따라 그에 상응하는 gene probe, NSO190와 NIT3을 사용해 FISH법을 수행하여 각 수역의 질화세균수를 비교하였다. 아울러 전반적인 세균학적 수질을 모니터링하기 위해 수계에 많은 ${\alpha}{\cdot}{\beta}{\cdot}{\gamma}$-Proteobacteria도 FISH법으로 검출하였다. ${\alpha}{\cdot}{\beta}{\cdot}{\gamma}$-Proteobacteria 분포도와 모든 유형의 질소 측정 결과에 따르면 정점 1 보다 정점 2의 유기물 오염도가 높다고 할 수 있었다. 이에 상응해 NSO160과 NIT3로 검출한 평균 질화세균수도 정점 1 (암모니아산화세균, $7.8{\times}10^5$; 아질산산화세균, $0.8{\times}10^6$ cells/ml)보다 정점 2 (암모니아산화세균, $9.3{\times}10^5$; 아질산산화세균, $1.6{\times}10^6$ cells/ml)에 더 많았고 그들이 총세균수에서 차지하는 평균 비율(%) 역시 정점 1 (NSO190, 18%; NIT3, 23%)에 비해 정점 2 (NSO190, 27%; NIT3, 34%)에서 높았다. 따라서 유기오염도가 낮은 상수원수 취수장 인근 수역인 정점 1 보다 생활하수처리시설 방류수로 인해 유기성 오염원이 상존하는 정점 2에서의 질화작용이 더 활발하다고 결론지을 수 있었다.

Bioaugmentation of bioreactors focuses on the removal of numerous organics, with little attention typically paid to the maintenance of high and stable nitrite accumulation in partial nitrification. In this study, a bioaugmented membrane bioreactor (MBR) inoculated with enriched ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was developed, and the effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature on the stability of partial nitrification and microbial community structure, in particular on the nitrifying community, were evaluated. The results showed that DO and temperature played the most important roles in the stability of partial nitrification in the bioaugmented MBR. The optimal operation conditions were found at 2-3 mgDO/l and $30^{\circ}C$, achieving 95% ammonia oxidization efficiency and nitrite ratio ($NO_2^-/{NO_x}^-$) of 0.95. High DO (5-6 mg/l) and low temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) had negative impacts on nitrite accumulation, leading to nitrite ratio drop to 0.6. However, the nitrite ratio achieved in the bioaugmented MBR was higher than that in most previous literatures. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used to provide an insight into the microbial community. It showed that Nitrosomonas-like species as the only detected AOB remained predominant in the bioaugmented MBR all the time, and coexisted with numerous heterotrophic bacteria. The heterotrophic bacteria responsible for mineralizing soluble microbial products (SMP) produced by nitrifiers belonged to the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides (CFB) group, and $\alpha$-, $\beta$-, and $\gamma$- Proteobacteria. The fraction of AOB ranging from 77% to 54% was much higher than that of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (0.4-0.9%), which might be the primary cause for the high and stable nitrite accumulation in the bioaugmented MBR.

침지형 막/생물반응기에 암모니움 합성폐수를 공급하여 약 350일 동안 운전하면서 질산화 특성 및 미생물의 분포 변화를 살펴보았다. 원수의 암모니움 농도는 500-1000 $mgNH_4-N/L$, 질소 부하는 $1-2\;kgN/m^3{\cdot}d$로 공급하였고, 용존산소(DO)농도, 슬러지 체류시간(SRT), 온도 변화에 따른 질산화 효율, 아질산성 질소의 비율, 슬러지 농도, sludge volume index(SVI)변화를 모니터링 하였다. DO 농도, 온도, SRT 증가에 따라 암모니움 산화율은 증가하였으며, 이와 같은 암모니움 산화율의 감소로 MBR 내에서 free ammonia($NH_3-N$)농도가 증가할 경우 처리수에서 아질산성 질소의 비율이 높아졌다. 운전 기간 중 원인이 뚜렷하지 않은 질산화 효율의 급격한 감소가 관찰되었는데, 이때 슬러지 벌킹 및 SVI 값의 증가가 동시에 수반되었다. 운전 후반부에 질산화균이 우점된 MBR에 추가로 유기물을 공급하면, SVI 값이 2배로 증가하였고 암모니움 산화율은 감소하였다. FISH 분석에서 나타난 MBR내의 미생물 분포는 암모니아 산화균의 경우 Nitrosomonas가 우점하였으나 운전 후반부로 갈수록 Nitrosospira의 비율이 Nitrosomonas와 비슷할 정도로 증가하였다. 아질산 산화균은 Nitrospira가 우점하였지만 Nitrobacter 역시 운전기간 내내 관찰되었는데, 이는 MBR 내에서 높게 유지된 아질산성 질소가 Nitrobacter의 성장에 도움을 준 것으로 보인다.

This study was carried out on 4 batch reactors to determine the specific ammonium oxidizing rate (SAOR), specific nitrate forming rate (SNFR) and inhibitory degree of nitrifying activities with saline concentrations. Under salt free condition ammonia was consumed during the reaction period within 200 min. When the salt level increased to 10, 20 and 30 g $NaClL^{-1}$ in reactor, ammonia depletion took 250, 300 and above 350 min, respectively. During concentration above 10 g $NaClL^{-1}$, there was nitrite accumulation. Also, at 30 g $NaClL^{-1}$ ammonia did not depleted and $NO_2{^-}$-N accumulated until the final reaction. Nitrate formation rates decreased with increasing salt concentration. SAOR and SNFR showed a decreasing trend as salinity concentrations were increased. The SAOR was reduced from 0.2 to 0.08 mg $NH_4{^+}$-N $g^{-1}VSS\;day^{-1}$ as the salt concentration increased from 0 to 30 g $NaClL^{-1}$. Similarly, the SNFR decreased from 0.26 kg $NO_3{^-}$-N $kg^{-1}VSS\;day^{-1}$ at saline free to 0.1 kg $NO_3{^-}$-N $kg^{-1}VSS\;day^{-1}$ at saline 30 g L-1. A severe inhibition of nitrifiers activity was observed at increased salt concentrations. The inhibition ratio of specific ammonium oxidation rates were 17, 47 and 60% on the reactor of 10, 20 and 30 g $NaClL^{-1}$ added, respectively. The inhibition ratio of specific nitrate forming rates also were inhibited 30, 53 and 62% on the reactor of 10, 20 and 30 g $NaClL^{-1}$ added, respectively. As the salinity concentrations increased from 0 to 30 mg $NaClL^{-1}$, the average MLSS concentration increased from 1,245 to 1,735 $mgL^{-1}$. The SS concentration of supernatant in reactor which settled about 30 minutes was not severely difference between concentration of salt free reactor and one of those high salt contained reactors.
