A novel system to thicken the concentrated colloidal solution from membrane water treat-ment processes was developed. A hollow-fiber microfilter(hydrophilic polyethylene nominal pore size 0.1 ${\mu}$m total surface area 0.42 m2) was installed in an acrylic housing that has an aeration port 5 cm below the membrane and a clarifier in the bottom. The concentrate was uniformly supplied from the top of the housing. Bacuum filtration caused downward flow of concentrate and as a result thickening interface. The addition of poly-aluminum chloride (PAC) resulted in rapid increase of trans-membrane pressure (TMP) and in no improvement of the filtered water turbidity and thickening process. Two types of con-centrate and concentrate turbidity had little effect on the increase of TMP and concentrate thickening. It was observed that for the same height of membrane housing membrane surface area to housing volume (A/V) ratio had significant effect on the increase of TMP. When the housing volume was increased ten times the increasing rate of TMP was three times faster as compared to the original housing. A hydraulic model successfully simulated the formation and sedimentation of thickening interface.

There are accumulations of remained chemical additives and contaminants in the process water of semi-closed linerboard mill. High temperature of the process water aggravates the anaerobic digestion of contaminated process water and causes the generation of hazardous gases, which are from the biological reaction of varied additives and contaminants. The hydrogen sulfide in the gases easily combine with moisture in the air, and become sulfuric acid, which causes corrosion of paper machinery. This hydrogen sulfide is from the reduction of sulfate ions in the process water, and the sulfate ions are mostly from the alum. We changed the alum to PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride). The results were preventing generation of hydrogen sulfide, and equivalent sizing effect by the use of PAC.

It has a limitation to satisfy the phosphorus effluent criteria of 0.2 mg/L which will be reinforced from 2012 with the Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) process. The chemical coagulation process has been operated in parallel with the biological treatment process for advanced treatment of phosphorous in the developed countries including Europe. However, the coagulation process has some disadvantages such as the desired goal may not be achieved without injecting the optimum dosage of the coagulant. This study developed the automatic control system to inject the optimum dosage of phosphorous coagulant into the coagulation process. The adopted coagulant was 10% Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) in this study. The automatic control system developed in this study was adopted for the treatment of the phosphorus from the effluent in SBR process. The automatic control system was composed of the data receiving part, the optimum coagulant dosage control part and the data transmit part. The result of the phosphorous advanced treatment of the SBR effluent using the automatic control system showed the removing efficiency over 95% consistently with the phosphorous concentration under 0.02 ~ 0.15 mg/L. The reproducibility analysis for checking the safety of automatic control system showed more than 95% correlation.

This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of improving dewaterability and settleability of sewage sludge using coagulation sludge. When mixed with sewage sludge and coagulation sludge at 1:1 ratio, capillary suction time(CST) and specific resistance to filtration(SRF) decreased by about 56% and 68%, respectively. It is found that total solids(TS) and volatile solids(VS) of mixing sludge are increased by about 59% and 53%, respectively. Also, the turbidity of the mixing sludge supernatant was reduced from 99 to 16 NTU. It is observed that the mixing of sewage sludge and coagulation sludge at 1:1 showed better effect than using poly-aluminum chloride(PAC) coagulant at 25 mg/L.

Objectives: This study was aimed at determining the optimum coagulation dosage in a high turbid kaolin water sample using streaming current detection (SCD) as an alternative to the jar test. Methods: SCD is able to optimize coagulant dosing by titration of negatively charged particles. Kaolin particles were used to mimic highly turbid water ranging from 50 to 600 NTU, and polyaluminum chloride (PAC, 17%) was applied as a titrant and coagulant. The coagulation consisted of rapid stirring (5 min at 140 rpm), reduced stirring (20 min at 70 rpm), and settling (60 min). To confirm the coagulation effect, a jar test was also compared with the SCD titration results. Results: SCD titration of kaolin water samples showed that the dose of PAC increased as the pH rose. However, supernatant turbidity less than 1 NTU after coagulation was not achieved for high turbid water by SCD titration. Instead, a conversion factor was used to calculate the optimum PAC dosage for high turbid water by correlating a jar test result with that from an SCD titration. Using this approach, we were able to successfully achieve less than 1 NTU in treated water. Conclusions: For high turbid water influent in a water treatment plant, particularly during summer, the application of SCD control by applying a conversion factor can be more useful than a jar test due to the rapid calculation of coagulation dosage. Also, the interpolation of converted PAC dose could successfully achieve turbidity in the treated water of less than 1 NTU. This result indicates that an SCD system can be effectively used in a water treatment plant even for high turbid water during the rainy season.

하수처리장 방류수의 재이용을 위해 2004년 1월$\~$12월까지 수질상태를 조사하였다. BOD, SS, 탁도, 총인과 색도의 월별로 조사한 연평균은 각각 4.1mg/L, 2.9mg/L, 0.8NTU, 1.3mg/L, 27unit이었다. 쟈테스트는 급속혼화 5분, 완속교반 15분, 침전 1시간의 조건하에서 오염물질의 제거율을 조사하였다. 사용된 응집제는 Alum과 폴리염화알루미늄이고, 방류수 중의 색도, 탁도, 총인, 총유기탄소 등을 제거하는데 효과가 있었다. 특히 폴리염화알루미늄을 사용시 탁도와 용존성인의 제거 효과가 좋았다. 응집공정과 연속한 정밀여과 공정에 의한 유기물의 제거효과를 조사한 결과, 분자량 1,000 Dalton 이상의 범위에 있는 물질의 제거가 잘 이루어진 반면, 소독부산물의 생성에 영향을 주는 분자량 500 Dalton 이하 물질의 제거율은 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 복합공정에서 이 범위 분자량의 물질을 제거하기 위해 흡착공정 등의 추가공정이 필요할 것으로 본다.

세계 각국은 폐기물의 발생과 이의 처리를 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 폐기물 중 특히 폐알칼리는 부식성으로 인해 환경오염에 대한 위험성이 높기 때문에 효율적 관리를 통해 재활용되어야 하며, 이를 위해 재활용 생성물에 대한 품질기준에 따라 관리될 필요가 있다. 그러나 현재 품질관리가 필요한 대상물질에 대한 국내 자료가 전혀 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 5년간의 자료 분석과 현장방문을 통해 체계적인 관리가 필요한 폐알칼리 재활용 대상물질을 선정하였다. 그 결과 재활용 대상 주요물질은 가성소다, 황산알루미늄, 폴리염화알루미늄인 것으로 나타났다. 장차 국가적 차원에서 이들 주요물질에 대한 적절한 관리체계가 구축될 필요가 있는 것으로 판단되며, 이를 통하여 폐기물의 자원화 뿐 아니라 우리 주변의 환경오염을 막는 긍정적인 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A 1,000 ㎥/d DAF(dissolved air flotation) pilot plant was installed to evaluate the performance of the floating process using the Nakdong River. Efficiency of various DAF operations under different conditions, such as hydraulic loading rate, coagulant concentration was evaluated in the current research. The operation conditions were evaluated, based on the removal or turbidity, TOC(total organic carbon), THMFP(trihalomethane formation potential), Mn(manganese), and Al(aluminum). Also, particle size analysis of treated water by DAF was performed to examine the characteristics of particles existing in the treated water. The turbidity removal was higher than 90%, and it could be operated at 0.5 NTU or less, which is suitable for the drinking water quality standard. Turbidity, TOC, and THMFP resulted in stable water quality when replacing the coagulant from alum to PAC(poly aluminum chloride). A 100% removal of Chl-a was recorded during the summer period of the DAF operations. Mn removal was not as effective as where the removal did not satisfy the water quality standards for the majority of the operation period. Hydraulic loading of 10 m/h, and coagulant concentrations of 40 mg/L was determined to be the optimal operating conditions for turbidity and TOC removal. When the coagulant concentration increases, the Al concentration of the DAF treated water also increases, so coagulant injection control is required according to the raw water quality. Particle size distribution results indicated that particles larger than 25 ㎛ showed higher removal rates than smaller particles. The total particel count in the treated water was 2,214.7 counts/ml under the operation conditions of 10 m/h of hydraulic loading rate and coagulant concentrations of 60 mg/L.
