Ettlia sp. YC001, a highly settleable and productive microalga, was shown to be effective in removing nutrients and capturing suspended solids from eutrophic pond water. The optimum conditions for the Ettlia sp. YC001 cultivation were investigated using water from a landscape pond. The pond water was supplemented with different N : P ratios by weight, and the biomass production and nutrient removal compared in batch cultures. The maximum removal rate of N and P was with an N : P ratio of 16 : 1. Plus, the turbidity dropped to near zero within 4 days. Meanwhile, chemostat cultivation showed that the biomass productivity and nutrient removal rate increased when increasing the dilution rate, where a dilution rate of $0.9d^{-1}$ showed the highest N and P removal rate at $32.4mg\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ and $1.83mg\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$, respectively, and highest biomass and lipid productivity at $0.432g\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ and $67.8mg\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$, respectively. The turbidity was also reduced by 98% in the chemostat cultivation. Moreover, auto-flocculation and pH were closely connected to the turbidity removal. As a result, this study identified the optimal N : P ratio for small pond water treatment using an Ettlia sp. YC001, while also establishing the optimal conditions for nutrient removal, turbidity reduction, and biomass production.

In this study, the effect on the stability of Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) with different Carbon/Nitrogen (C/N) ratios was investigated. The C/N ratios were controlled to 10.0, 7.5, 5.0, and 2.5 using the sequencing batch reactor, and the results showed that the removal efficiency of organic matter and total nitrogen decreased simultaneously with the decrease of C/N ratio. The removal efficiency of organic matter and total nitrogen at C/N ratio of 2.5 was 70.7% and 52.3% respectively. In addition, the AGS/mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) ratio showed a tendency to decrease from 85.7% to 73.7%, while the sludge volume index showed a tendency to increase from 82 mL/g to 102 mL/g as the C/N ratio decreased. At the same time, the apparent deviation of polysaccharide (PS) content in extracellular polymeric substances was observed, and polysaccharides/protein (PS/PN) ratio decreased from 0.62 to 0.31 as the C/N ratio decreased. Optical microscope observations showed that the reduction in C/N ratio caused the growth of filamentous bacteria and significantly affected the stability of AGS.

음용수 중에 납과 카드뮴이 오염되었을 때 치커리, 당귀, 영지버섯의 중금속의 장내 흡수억제 효과가 있는지를 알아보기 위해 장내 흡수 조건을 고려한 투과막을 이용하여 in vitro실험을 실시하였다. 납과 카드뮴이 음용수 수질기준의 10배 또는 50배로 오염된 음용수에서 단독오염의 경우 납은 치커리, 당귀, 영지버섯에서 $40{\sim}60%$의 제거효과를 보였고 카드뮴의 경우는 치커리, 당귀, 영지버섯에서 $20{\sim}40%$의 제거효과를 나타내었다. 납과 카드뮴이 혼합오염된 경우에 납은 치커리, 당귀, 영지버섯의 세 시료에서 비슷하게 $30{\sim}50%$의 제거효과를 나타냈으며 카드뮴은 $10{\sim}30%$의 제거효과를 보여주었는데 치커리, 영지버섯에 비해 당귀가 높은 제거효과를 보여주었다. 추출조건별로 비교해보면 $70^{\circ}C$, 2분 추출조건의 경우가 $95^{\circ}C$, 10분의 경우보다 더 제거효과가 높았음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 한편 여과지 및 투과막에도 상당량의 중금속이 흡착되어 제거된다는 사실을 알 수 있었는데 오염된 중금속의 농도가 높을수록, 음료 추출온도가 높을수록 더 많은 중금속이 흡착되었음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 투과막이 중금속에 흡착되기 쉬운 섬유질로 이루어져 있기 때문인 것으로 추측되며 치커리, 당귀, 영지는 음용수중에 오염된 중금속의 장내흡수 억제 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 미셀 한외여과(Micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration, MEUF)공정으로 질산성 질소와 인산을 동시에 제거할 때 휴믹산이 공정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 계면활성제/오염물의 몰 비가 1인 경우, 질산성 질소는 미셀 표면에 휴믹산과 경쟁적으로 결합을 하기 때문에 그 제거율이 50%로 감소하지만, 몰 비 3 이상의 계면활성제를 첨가하였을 때에는 80% 이상의 제거율을 유지하였다. 반면 인산의 경우에는, 몰 비 1 이상의 CPC 농도에서 질산성 질소와는 달리 휴믹산이 존재하지 않는 경우와 비슷한 수준인 80％ 이상의 제거율을 보였으며, 이때 CPC와 휴믹산의 제거율은 거의 99％ 이상 이었다. 또한 100 ppm농도의 휴믹산은 MEUF공정에서 플럭스 감소에 영향을 미치지 않고 오히려 조금 증가시켰으며, 이는 막에 흡착한 휴믹산이 막의 친수성을 증가시켜 투과율을 높이기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 이를 통해 휴믹산은 질산성 질소 및 인산을 동시 제거하는 MEUF 공정에서 제거효율을 저하시키지 않음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 유,무연탄 혼합 유동층 석탄연소로에서 폐제지슬러지를 탈황제로 사용하였을 경우 석회석 입자크기, 주입공기 유속, Ca/S 몰비, 무연탄비, 층온도 등에 따른 $SO_2$ 제거 효율에 관해 연구하였으며, 실험결과는 다음과 같다. 폐제지슬러지의 입자크기는 탈황율에 매우 큰 영항을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 입자크기 $1016{\mu}m$ 일 때 가장 높은 탈황율을 보였고, 주입되는 공기의 유속변화에 따른 탈황율에는 큰 차이가 없었다. Ca/S 몰비가 증가할수록 탈황율도 증가하였으며, Ca/S 몰비 3까지는 급격히 탈황율이 증가하였으나 3이상에서는 큰 차이가 없었으므로 Ca/S 몰비는 3이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 층온도는 탈황율에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나 $800^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 탈황율을 보였으며, 무연탄비가 증가할수록 탈황율이 약간 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 유,무연탄 혼합연소시 폐제지슬러지는 매우 높은 탈황율을 보여 탈황제로서의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Laboratory experiments for the removal efficiency of heavy metals in land application of sludge, the accumulation and translocation of heavy metals in x plants after transplanting, and the responses of Minari growth with different ratio of land application of sludge were conducted to determine the potential ability of bioremediation with Minari plants. The removal rate and translocation of copper. zinc. lead. and cadmium in soil and plants were compared after transplanting the Minari plants to soil treated with different ratio of sludge. The removal efficiency of heavy metals in soil incorporated with sludge was different with application ratio, but increased with growing periods of Minari plants. The removal efficiency of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd ranged from 67 to 74% from 51% to 63%, from 37% to 71%. and from 15% to 25% after 45 days of transplanting. respectively. The amount removed the copper value. 65.9 mg/kg, observed to be highest in soil incorporated 3% sludge after 45 days. The translocation of Cu. Zn. Pb. and Cd from shoots to roots ranged from 18 to 53%, from 17 to 32%, from 14 to 49%, and from 23 to 38% over growing periods. respectively. In plant responses it appeared to be inhibited the plant growth in the treatment compared with the control at early stage of growth. However, the fresh weights of Minari plant increased from 12.5 to 62.5% in the sludge application after 45 days relative to the control. Therefore the Minari might play a useful role in bioremediation of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in the land application of sludge.

In order to improve reactor performance of existing sewage treatment plants, the feasibility of enhancing reactor performance by bioaugmentation using EM as bioaugmentation agent and the effects of anoxic: oxic time ratio on reactor performance were investigated. Continuous and intermittent aeration modes were compared under the 6 hr of HRT. Three different types of intermittent aeration modes, that is, 15 min, of anoxic:45 min of oxic, 30 min of anoxic: 30 min of oxic, and 45 min of anoxic: 15 min oxic respectively were chosen as test modes to study the effects of anoxic : oxic time ratios on reactor performance. The optimum anoxic: oxic time ratio was 30 min:30 min when considering simultaneous removal of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus. When applying EM into a continuously aerated reactor under the varying dosing rates of 50-200 ppm, reactor performance in terms of organic and nitrogen removal efficiencies was not improved at all. Nitrogen removal efficiency was increase when the EM dosing rate was increased. However the degree of improvement was slight when the EM was injected above 100 ppm. However optimum phosphorus removal was found at the EM dosing of 200 ppm. Thus it was found that optimum injection concentration of EM is 200 ppm. It is apparent that putting EM into a sewage treatment plant significantly affects the T-N removal efficiency of the reactor by enhancing denitrification efficiency especially in operational conditions of relatively long anoxic periods. To achieve reciprocal condition in a reactor with intermittent aeration it is necessary to enhance the reactor performance by EM injection. In the case of modifying existing continuously aerated reactors into intermittent aerated reactors, it is obvious that operating costs of aeration would be reduced by reducing aeration time when compared with existing conventional sewage treatment plants.
