본 연구의 목적은 하수처리장의 공간적 그리고 운전인자에 따른 테트라싸이클린 내성균(TRB) 및 테트라싸이클린 내성 유전자(TRG)들의 거동을 파악하는데 있다. 이를 위한 노력으로, 세 개의 실제 다른 하수처리장내에서 7개월 이상 각각의 반응조별로 시료를 채취하여 TRB 및 TRG가 분석되었다. 통계 기법은 주성분분석(PCA)을 통해 이들 간에 어떠한 일반적 관계식이 성립하는지 알아보려 노력하였다. 통계 분석결과, 활성슬러지내에 TRB 농도는 1차 침전 유입수에 있는 TRB 농도에 많은 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구를 통해 TRB와 TRG의 내거동이 하수처리장 SRT 조건에 많이 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

질소에 의한 수질 오염의 심각성이 부각되면서 하 폐수 내 질소제거를 위한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 특히 아질산화 반응을 기반으로 하는 경제적이며 친환경적인 장점을 지닌 혁신적인 질소 제거 공법에 관한 연구가 주목받고 있다. 하지만 아질산화 반응을 기반으로 하는 공법의 현장 적용성 및 효율화 방안에 관한 연구는 완전히 이루어지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하수처리장 유입 하수, 최초 침전지 상등액, 반류수 그리고 가축분뇨의 특성분석 및 실험실 규모 반응조를 운전하였다. 반류수 및 가축분뇨의 경우 다른 하수에 비해 고농도의 질소를 함유한 것으로 나타나 수처리 계통 질소 부하를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 반응조 운전 결과 낮은 암모니아성 질소의 농도로 인해 유입 하수와 최초 침전지 상등액의 경우에는 아질산화 반응이 유도되지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 하수 종류 별로 아질산화 반응이 유도되는 체류시간 조건이 차이를 보였는데 이는 유기물 및 암모니아성 질소 농도에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 아질산화 반응이 유도된 하수 중 혐기 소화 상등액이 가장 높은 효율을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

Anaerobic sewage treatment is drawing attentions due to high energy consumptions and sludge production associated with aerobic treatment. This study evaluates the treatment characteristics and energy balance of a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) for treating domestic sewage at $20^{\circ}C{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ for 245 days. Sewage fed to the FBR was a primary clarifier effluent of a domestic sewage treatment plant with COD of 99-301 mg/L and $BOD_{5}$ of 37-149 mg/L. Effluent $SBOD_{5}$ and its removal efficiency at HRT of 1~3 h were 6~15 mg/L and 73.4~85.5%, respectively, achieving high removal efficiency for soluble organic substances even at short HRTs. COD removal efficiency and its effluent concentration were 53.8~75.9% and 51~83 mg/L, respectively. The energy production potential from gaseous methane was 0.009-0.028 kWh/$m^{3}$, which satisfies the energy required for the FBR operation.

A series of laboratory experiments carried out to investigate the particle separation efficiency and flotation characteristics using $CO_2$ bubbles. The primary objective of this study was to find out the feasibility of $CO_2$ bubbles as an applicable unit of flotation process in tap-water and wastewater treatment plant. The fundamental measurements were conducted to characterize the $CO_2$ bubble from the physical viewpoint in water including bubble size distribution and rising velocity under various operational conditions. In addition, the removal efficiency of solid was experimented using the lab scale plant applied $CO_2$ bubbles, namely the dissolved carbon dioxide flotation (DCF) process. The DCF process using carbon dioxide bubble, which is an advantage as the decrease and the reuse of Green-House gas, can be a promising technology as an water treatment process. On the other hand, the further research to decrease the bubble size distribution of $CO_2$ is required to enhance the particle separation efficiency.

Up-flow multi-layer bioreactor (UMBR) is a hybrid system using dual sludge that consists of an up-flow multi-layer bioreactor as anaerobic/anoxic suspended growth microorganisms followed by an aeration tank. The UMBR acts as a primary settling tank, anaerobic/anoxic reactor, thickener which requires low energy due to mixing by up-flow stream. This study focused on using a pilot UMBR plant with capacity of 20-30 $m^3$/day for domestic wastewater in HCMC. HRTs of UMBR and aeration tank were 4.8 h and 7.2 h, respectively. The average MLSS of UMBR ranged from 10,000-13,600 mg/l SS. Internal recycle rate and sludge return were 200-300% and 150-200%, respectively. The results obtained from this study at flow rate of 20 $m^3$/day showed that removal of COD, SS, TKN, N-$NH_4$, T-N, and color were 91%, 87%, 86%, 80%, 91% and 91%, respectively.

This work elucidates the effects of pretreatment of the sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plant by microwave irradiation on elutriated acid fermentation. These experiments typically fell into two process; pretreatment as microwave irradiation and elutriated acid fermentation for hydrolysis and acidification as main process of primary sludge. The results of maximum solubilization rate of B, D primary and secondary sludge were 0.042, 0.086 and 0.15 gSCODprod./gICODin and the optimum irradiation time of microwave on 2,450 MHz and 900 W were 5 min. for primary sludge and 7 min. for secondary sludge. From batch tests on elutriated acid fermentation that was used the pretreated primary sludge as microwave, the optimum pH and HRT (hydraulic retention time) were 7 and 5 days at $35^{\circ}C$ condition.

Problems due to the taste and odor in drinking water are common in treatment facilities around the world. Taste and odor are perceived by the public as the primary indicators of the safely and acceptability of drinking water, and are mainly caused by the presence of two semi-volatile compounds-2-methylisoborneol(2-MIB) and geosmin. Conventional treatment processes in water treatment plants, such as coagulation, sedimentation and chlorination have been found to be ineffective for the removal of 2-MIB and geosmin. Pulse UV system is a new UV irradiation system that is a non-mercury lamp-based alternative to currently used continuous wave systems for water disinfection. This study shows pulse UV system to be effective in treatment of these two compounds. Geosmin removal efficiency of UV process alone achieved approximately 70% at 10sec contact time. 2-MIB removal efficiency of UV only process achieved approximately 60% at 10sec contact time. The addition of $H_{2}O_{2}$ 7mg/L increased geosmin and 2-MIB removal efficiency upto approximately 94% and 91%, respectively.

Recycling of industrial products as the stabilizers can be proper handling of industrial products and has positive side in terms of recycling of wastes. In this study, the final aims were to evaluate the usability as stabilizer of Bio-solids which was generated from contaminated soil with heavy metals after primary process and to compare the treatment efficiency with slag being currently applied in many existing sites. Soluble and exchangeable forms have closely related to pollution of groundwater and plant growth and they can be used to determine the effect of the stabilization efficiency. Slag and Bio-solids were tested to investigate the capacity of stabilizing arsenic. Slag treatment process 4 (PS-ball 5%) showed higher leachate concentration rather to 0.84% compared to treatment 1 (blank) based on an average of 0.63%. The other hand treatment 4 (Bio-solids 5%) showed the lowest soluble and exchangeable forms to 0.57% when Bio-solids was applied to stabilize arsenic. Thus, the leaching of arsenic will be more reduced if the Bio-solids are used as stabilizer in stead of slag which is being currently used in many fields.

A comprehensive mathematical model was developed for this study to estimate on-site and off-site GHG emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The model was applied to three different hybrid WWTPs (S-WWTP, J-WWTP, and T-WWTP) including anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic process, located in Seoul City, South Korea. Overall on-site and off-site GHG emissions from S-WWTP, J-WWTP, and T-WWTP were $305,253kgCO_2e/d$, $282,682kgCO_2e/d$, and $117,942kgCO_2e/d$, respectively. WWTP treating higher amounts of wastewater produced more on-site and off-site GHG emissions. On average, the percentage contribution of on-site and off-site emissions was 3.03% and 96.97%. The highest amount of on-site GHG emissions was generated from anoxic process and the primary on-site GHG was nitrous oxide ($N_2O$). Off-site GHG emissions related to electricity consumption for unit operation was much higher than that related to production of chemicals for on-site usage. Recovery and reuse of biogas significantly reduced the total GHG emissions from WWTPs. The results obtained from this study can provide basic knowledge to understand the source and amount of GHG emissions from WWTPs and strategies to establish lower GHG emitting WWTPs.

화석연료의 매장량 한계와 해로운 영향으로 인하여 이를 대신할 대체 에너지연구가 요구되고 있다. 최근, 미세조류를 통한 바이오에너지 생산이 주목을 받고 있으며, 도시하수를 영양원으로 이용하여 미세조류를 배양하는 것은 생산비용을 낮추는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 옥외 수질정화 배양 시스템(Small Scale Raceway Pond; SSRP)을 이용하여 적용했다. 실험에 사용한 도시하수는 하수종말처리장의 1차 침전지를 거친 유입수를 이용하였으며, 토착 미세조류를 SSRP에서 배양하였다. 체류시간 6일 운전 후 TN, TP, $NH_3-N$의 평균 제거 효율은 77.77%, 63.55%, 89.02%로 각각 나타났다. 또한 미세조류 내의 지질함량은 평균 19.51%로 나타났으며, FAME는 주로 18:n인 linolenate, linoleate로 이루어져 있음을 확인하였다. 18S rRNA 유전자 분석과 현미경 관찰을 통하여 녹조류인 Chlorella와 Scenedesmus가 우점하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 도시하수는 미세조류 배양에 필요한 질소와 인을 제공할 수 있으며, 미세조류를 이용한 SSRP를 통하여 정화될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 미세조류 배양을 통해 얻어진 바이오매스는 바이오디젤 전환을 통하여 상업화될 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.
