한강 기수역에서 일어나는 지화학적 변화과정을 파악하기 위하여 2000년 6월과 2001년 2월 두 차례에 걸쳐 용존 무기영양염류,용존 유기 탄소,추출된 용존 유기물의 형광 특성, 용존 우라늄의 분포특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 용존 무기 영양염류는 염분이 증가함에 따라 감소하였는데,특히 질소계 영양염류의 경우 기수역에서 뚜렷한 질산화 과정(nitrification process)을 보였다. 인산-인 또한 질소계 영양염류와 같이 기수역에서 비보존적 분포특성을 보였다 용존 유기탄소와 형광 유기물은 염분이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 모습을 보였는데, 특히 5 psu이하의 저염분대에서 급격히 감소하는 양상을 나타내었다. 이러한 현상은 육상 기원의 지구거대 유기물질이 이온강도가 증가하는 기수역에서 응집, 침전하여 제거되기 때문으로 생각된다. 한편 용존 우라늄은 대부분 강을 통하여 해양으로 유입되는데, 염분이 증가함에 따라 같이 증가하는 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 용존 우라늄은 기수역에서 제거되는 비보존적인 분포 특성을 보였는데. 이는 용존 우라늄의 일부가 유기물질과 착화합물의 형태로 제거되기 때문으로 생각된다. 염분과 용존 우라늄의 분포 상관관계로부터 추정된 한강 기수역에서 용존 우라늄 제거량은 약 7.1 ton/year으로 Savannah salt marsh에서의 제거량과 비교해볼 때 약 51.4%에 해당하였다.

Experiments for highly concentrated contaminants in pig waste slurry were carried out for the feasibility test of a pilot-scale innovative process scheme of engaging autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) and expended granular sludge bed (EGSB) followed by sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system. Contaminants in pig waste slurry such as organic substance, total nitrogen (TN), ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus (TP) contents were successfully reduced in the system. Total volatile solids (TVS) and chemical oxygen demands (COD) for organic matter in the feed were 32.92 g/L and 42.55 g/L respectively, and they were reduced by about 98.7% and 99.2%, respectively in the system. The overall removal efficiencies for TN and ammonium nitrogen were found to be 98.1 and 98.5%, respectively. The overall removal efficiency for total phosphorus was also found to be 92.5%. Faecal coliform density was reduced to <$1.2{\times}10^4CFU/g$ total solids. Biogas and $CH_4$ were produced in the range of 0.39-0.85 and $0.25-0.62m^3/kg$ [VS removed], respectively. The biogas produced in the system comprised of $295{\pm}26ppm$ (v/v) [$H_2S$].

Nutrient removal from synthetic wastewater was investigated using a MLE (Modified-Ludzack Ettinger) type MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor), with different phenol ($C_6H_5OH$) concentrations, in order to determine the inhibition effects of phenol on biological nutrient removal and the biodegradation of phenolic wastewater. The wastewater was prepared by mixing a solution of molasses with known amounts of phenol and nutrients. The experiments were conducted in a lab-scale MLE type MBBR, operated with four different phenol concentrations (0, 67, 100 and 168mg/L) in the synthetic feed. Throughout the experiments, the ratio of the phenolic COD concentration to the total COD was varied from 0 to 1. Throughout batch test, the SNR (Specific Nitrification Rate) and SDNR (Specific Denitrification Rate) were significantly influenced by changes of the phenol concentration. Phenol was inhibitory to the nitrification/denitrification process, and showed greater inhibition with higher initial phenol concentrations. The SNR observed with 0, 67, 100 and 168mg phenol/L were very different like 10.12, 6.95, 1.51 and $0.35mg\;NH_{3^-}N/gMLVSS$ hr, respectively. Similarly, the SDNR observed at 0, 67, 100 and 168mg phenol/L were different like 0.322, 0.143, 0.049and 0.006mgN/gMLVSS day, respectively.

녹조로 널리 알려진 남조류 과다증식은 심미적 불쾌감뿐만 아니라 독성물질을 생성하기 때문에 댐 수질 관리에 있어 큰 문제가 되고 있다. 녹조 발생을 억제하기 위하여 호소 유역으로부터 유입되는 비점오염물질 특히, 영양염류 저감이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 친환경적 방법으로 알려진 인공습지의 장기간 운영 결과를 분석하여 비점오염물질 제어 수단으로서 인공습지의 적용 가능성 및 공정운영 관련 기초자료를 구축하기 위하여, 2014~2020년 동안 대청호 유역에 위치한 안내천 인공습지의 오염물질 처리효율을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, BOD 14.3%, COD 17.9%, SS 50.0%, T-N 19.0%, T-P 35.4%로 인공습지가 오염 물질 제거에 효과적임을 확인하였다. 계절별 처리효율은 오염물질별로 다른 경향을 보였는데, 주로 미생물의 반응에 의해 제거되는 BOD, COD, T-N은 겨울철에 비해 봄~가을에 높은 처리효율을 나타내었다. 그러나 수생식물에 의해 주로 제거되는 T-P는 처리효율에 있어 겨울에도 안정적인 처리효율을 나타내 호소 유입부하를 저감하는 데 효과적임을 확인하였다. 오염부하에 따른 제거율은 모든 오염물질이 유입수의 중간농도 및 고농도 구간에서 유출수 농도가 통계적으로 유의하게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 초기 강우와 같은 고부하 조건에서도 인공습지가 호소로 유입되는 비점오염물질을 안정적으로 제거해 호소의 부영양화를 억제하는 데 효과적으로 활용될 수 있음을 보여준다. 다만, 습지는 자연정화에 기반한 시설로 인위적인 공정 제어가 어렵기 때문에 향후 유역별 특성에 따라 다양한 운영사례 연구가 정립된다면 우리나라 호소의 녹조 문제 해결을 위해 유용한 방법이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The advantage of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) is to reduce requirement of oxygen as well as tank volume. The fludized media was used in the oxic (aerobic) tank of Membrane-BNR to enhance the efficiency of SND. Nowadays, the interest of applying membrane to the wastewater treatment plant has been increased, which is proved by a lot of research published about the MBR. The Membrane-BNR, consisted of total 5 reactors might be called the compact process by using the fludized media and having short HRT of 6.5 hr. It could attain the further removal of not only the organics but also nutrients such as T-N and T-P. The mode A and B were identified with or without the step feed of influent. The mode A was classified with 3 modes according to the different DO concentration in the fludized media aerobic reactor, and the mode B with step feed was operated with the optimum DO condition. The step-feed was capable of improving TN removal efficiency under the domestic wastewater with the low ratio C/N. On the other hand, the efficiency of SND with the 1.0~1.5 mg/L DO in the oxic media tank was better than the one with below 1.0 mg/L, on which the nitrification did not happen enough, and with above 3.5 mg/L, on which the reduction of anoxic area in the tank happened. It means that the profitable nitrification should be performed prior to the denitrification step. The removal efficiency of nitrogen by SND was about 20% among of total denitrified nitrogen. And some organic carbon consumed could be reduced by the endogeneous denitrification.

Cleaning up the landfill soil by phytoremediation in association with biomass production and utilization of biosolid as a soil amendment will be an attractive green technology. In order to examine this integrated green technology, in the current study of pot trial, heavy metal removal rate and biomass production were determined following cultivation of three different plant species in the landfill soil incorporated with biosolid at two different levels (25 ton $ha^{-1}$ and 50 ton $ha^{-1}$). Among the three plant species including Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), giant sunflower (Helianthus giganteus. L), and giant cane (Arundo donax. L), sunflower appeared to produce the largest biomass yield (19.2 ton $ha^{-1}$) and the produced amounts were magnificently increased with biosolid treatment compared to the control (no biosoild treatment). The increased production associated with biosolid treatment was common for other plant species and this was attributed to the biosolid originated nutrients as well as the improved soil physical properties due to the organic matter from biosolid. The elevated heavy metals in soil which was originated from the incorporated biosolid were Cu and Zn. Based on the phytoavailable amount of heavy metals from biosolid, the removed amount by plant shoots were 95% and 165% for Cu and Zn, respectively, when sunflower was grown. This indicated that mitigation of heavy metal accumulation in soils achieved by the removal of metal through sunflower cultivation enables the successive treatment of biosolid to soils. Moreover, sunflower showed heavy metal stabilization ability in the rhizosphere resulting in alleviation of metal release to ground water.

We investigated temporal changes of composition, habitat area, growth rate and elements content of hydrophytes at the artificial vegetation island (AVI) in Kyungan Stream within Lake Paldang. We also assessed nutrient removal rate through cutting off the emergent part of hydrophytes. The kinds of hydrophytes have increased from four species (P. australis, P. japonica, T. angustifolia and the Z. latifolia) at initial stage of installation to more than 29 species for 6-year operation. P. japonica was most dominant species at the AVI in 2006. The habitat area of have increased about 2.5 times compared to the initial planting area, occupying 63% of AVI's vegetation area. The incoming species of S. fluviatilis and B. frondosa have adapted successively and expanded habitat area in the AVI. The relative growth rate of P. japonica and P. australis was highest in spring sprouting period. Their hights and weights have increased until summer, by the time they were cutting off the emergent part. They started regrowth immediately after cutting and continued to grow until September and withered away in November. The carbon contents of P. japonica and P. australis have increased during growth phase, on the contrary, the nitrogen and phosphorus contents have decreased. By cutting off and removing the emergent part (leaves and branches) of hydrophytes twice from AVI, $17.6gN/m^2/y$ of nitrogen and $1.3gP/m^2/y$ of phosphorus was removed from AVI in 2006.

A pilot study was performed from July 1998 to December 2002, including winter performance, to examine seasonal performance of a constructed wetland and subsequent pond system for treatment of sewage in small communities of Korea. Pond was operated as a intermittent-discharge pond during winter period, and continuous flow system during growing season; its effects was evaluated from December 2001 to April 2003. The subsurface flow (SSF) wetland was satisfactory for treating sewage with good removal efficiency even during the winter period. The wetland effluent concentrations of $BOD_5$ and TSS were often higher in winter than in the growing season, but this was explained by the higher loading rates, rather than lower removal efficiency. The relatively poor-quality wetland effluent was further polished during winter in the pond. The upper layer of the pond water column became remarkably clear immediately after ice melt. In the growing season, ponds could be operated as a continuous flow system to remove nutrients and pathogens, and the effluent of pond could be reused as a supplemental irrigation water without risk of infection by sewage-borne pathogens as well as causing adverse effect on growth and yield. Overall, the wetland system was found to be adequate for treating sewage with stable removal efficiency, and the intermittent-discharge pond was found to be effective for further polishing if necessary. Therefore, the combination of a wetland and subsequent pond system and reuse of effluent as crop irrigation water is recommended as a practical alternative to treat sewage in Korean small communities, and partial discharge of pond water in March is suggested.
