The impacts of ultrasonic pretreatment on the biodegradability of domestic sewage sludge were evaluated through a series of anaerobic digestion experiments in batch system. The gas and methane production from the sludge samples pretreated by an ultrasonic tool with different durations were measured with time. Although the biogas production increased with the extent of sludge solubilization and the period of ultrasonic pretreatment, the enhancement of sludge biodegradability was much more sensitive to the pretreatment for the relatively short periods. Most of the enhanced biodegradability by the pretreatment was appeared in the early stage of anaerobic digestion, less than 6 days. The maximum biogas production per day was observed between 4 to 6 days when the sludge was pretreated less than 10 minutes while it was obtained in the beginning for the sludge pretreated longer periods. The results suggest that the repeated alternation of low strength ultrasonic pretreatment and anaerobic digestion may be more effective than the combination of one time pretreatment for a relatively long period and following anaerobic digestion.

Flow and pollution load were monitored at 2 combined sewer outlets (C-1 and C-2) of urban watersheds during dry weather from September, 2004 to April, 2006 for 20 months. The objectives were to investigate the diurnal variation of flow and pollutant load and to find the proper sampling time that could measure representative flow and pollutant load. Pollution load closed to the average daily load at C-1 could be measured at 00:00 hour and by the mean of 15:00 and 18:00 hour measures, and 15:00 and 21:00 hour measures, respectively. In addition at C-2, it was 21:00 hour and the mean of 15:00 and 18:00 hour measures. This study concluded that arbitrary sampling of flow and water quality could cause large errors in the estimation of urban pollution load and recommended that urban combined sewers should be monitored when flow and water quality showed daily average and concentration.

Aim of this study was to investigate biofilms attached in pipeline of water reuse from the MBR system treating sewage without chlorination in correlation to the outflow water quality. Two general pipe materials: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) were employed in the experiment. The peak growths were found at week 4 in both pipes. The maximum biofilms in PE pipe was $33mgVSS/cm^2$ with the growth rate of $4.75mgVSS/cm^2-d$ which was significant higher than that of PVC pipe. Biofilms examined by PCR-DGGE technique revealed five bacterial species in PE biofilms namely Sinorhizobium medicae WSM419, Sinorhizobium fredii NGR234, Geobacter sp. M18, Parachlamydia acanthamoebae UV-7, and Mycobacterium chubuense NBB4. The VSS concentrations in outflow had directly correlated to the biofilm attachment and detachment. High COD concentrations of outflow appeared during biofilm detaching phase. In summary, water quality of reuse water corresponded to the biofilms attachment and detachment in the pipeline.

Tetracycline is one of the most commonly used antibiotics in domestic and foreign livestock industries to suppress the growth of pathogens. Tetracycline has been reported as a non-biodegradable compound. Therefore it has been not completely removed in the sewage treatment process. In this study, tetracycline was degraded using liquid ferrate (VI). Based on these experiments, the optimal water condition (pH and water temperature) were selected, appropriate liquid ferrate (VI) dosage was calculated, and finally the degradation pathway was estimated with the intermediate products detected by LC/MS/MS. All degradation experiments were completed within 30 seconds and the optimal condition was obtained in basic condition (pH 10) at room temperature (20℃). And the appropriate molar ratio between tetracycline and liquid ferrate (VI) was 12.5:1. Finally, 12 intermediate products were detected with LC/MS/MS and the degradation pathways and the degradation pathways and proposed the degradation pathways.

Tetracycline is one of the most commonly used as antibiotics for the livestock industry and it is still widely used nowadays. Tetracycline and its metabolites are excreted with excrement, which is difficult to completely removed with conventional sewage treatment, therefore it is apprehended that the tetracycline-resistant bacteria occurs. In this study, the oxidant named ferrate(VI) was used to degrade the tetracycline and investigate the reaction between ferrate(VI) and tetracycline under various aqueous conditions. The highest degradation efficiency of tetracycline occurred in basic condition (pH 10.1 ± 0.1) because of the pKa values of tetracycline and ferrate(VI). The results also showed the effect of water temperature on the degradation of tetracycline was not significant. In addition, the dosage of ferrate(VI) was higher, the degradation of tetracycline and the self-degradation of ferrate(VI) also higher, finally the efficiency of ferrate(VI) was lower. The results said that the various mechanisms effects the reaction of ferrate(VI) oxidation, it required the consideration of the characteristics of the target compound for optimal degradation efficiency. Additionally, intermediate products were detected with LC/MS/MS and three degradation pathways were proposed.

Purpose: This study is about photocatalytic technology and plasma oxidation-reduction technology. To the main cause of exposure to odor pollution, two deodorization techniques were applied to develop a module with higher removal efficiency and ozone reduction effect. Research design, data and methodology: A composite module was constructed by arranging two types of dry deodorization equipment (catalyst, adsorbent) in one module. This method was designed to increase the responsiveness to the components of complex odors and the environment. standard, unity, two types of oxidizing photo-catalyst technology and plasma dry deodorization device installed in one module to increase the potential by reduction to 76% of ozone, 100%, and 82%. Results: The complex odor disposal efficiency was 92%. Ammonia was processed with 50% hydrogen sulfide and 100% hydrogen sulfide, and ozone was 0.01ppm, achieving a target value of 0.07ppm or less. The combined odor showed a disposal efficiency of 93%, ammonia was 82% and hydrogen sulfide was 100% processed, and ozone achieved a target value of 0.07 ppm or less. Conclusions: Ozone removal efficiency was 76% by increasing Oxidation-Reduction Reaction(ORR). The H2S removal efficiency of the deodorizer was higher than that of the biofilter system currently used in sewage disposal plants.

In this study, we applied ENERWATER to evaluate the energy consumption labeling of wastewater treatment plants in Korea using the Korea sewerage statistics data. The results showed that the energy label status was excellent in the SBR process for small and medium-scale wastewater treatment plants and the A2O process for large-scale wastewater treatment plants. The energy labeling of wastewater treatment plants of 50,000 tons capacity was excellent. The statuses of metropolitan cities and Jeollanam-do province were excellent. We analyzed the effects of renewable energy on wastewater treatment plants' energy consumption and found out that digestion gas for large-scale plants and photovoltaic energy for small-scale plants were effective in improving energy labeling. In addition, we compared the energy labels of four wastewater treatment plants in "Z" city and wastewater treatment plant "X" had the best energy label, and the wastewater treatment plants "V" and "Y" had to be selected as priorities for the energy diagnosis and improvement project. In a comprehensive conclusion, the applicability of ENERWATER was confirmed based on sewage statistics data and labeling can be used to set priorities for the energy diagnosis and improvement project.

본 연구에서는 국내 최초로 플라즈마 토치를 사용한 재(ash) 용융설비에서 발생한 슬래그를 대상으로 기존에 제시되지 않은 새로운 냉각방식(분체냉각방식)을 적용하여 현재 적용되고 있는 슬래그 냉각방법보다 적용성 및 부가가치를 높일 수 있는 냉각방식을 제시했다. 재료적 특성분석 및 토공재료로의 재활용 가능성을 검토하여 향후 공정 개발에 적용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 소각재(ash)는 Y시의 fluidized bed method에서 배출되는 하수슬러지를 소각하여 실험재료로 사용하였다. 하수슬러지 소각 잔재의 XRF 분석결과는 $SiO_2$가 전체 32%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하고 있으며, CaO, $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$ 등이 주성분 원소로 구성되어 있다. XRD 분석결과에서는 냉각슬래그 입자로부터 전형적인 유리화 진행을 찾을 수 있었으며 냉각슬래그 분말로부터 크리스탈상이 관찰되었는데 그 이유는 분말이 녹지 않은 상태로 표면에 존재하기 때문이라 판단된다. EDX 분석으로부터 냉각매체로 사용된 전후에 분체의 성분이 바뀌지 않았으며 만약 다른 형태를 사용한다면 활용성이 더해진 분말을 생산할 수 있을 거라 판단된다.
