The present study examined a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) bioreactor on a laboratory scale for simultaneous removal of atrazine, organic carbon, and nutrients from wastewater. The maximum removal efficiency of atrazine, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) were 83.57%, 90.36%, 90.74% and 87.93 respectively. Increasing salinity up to 40 g/L NaCl in influent flow could inhibit atrazine biodegradation process strongly in the MBBR reactor.Results showed that MBBR is so suitable process for efficiently biodegrading of atrazine and nitrogen removal process was based on the simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) process.

The overall performance of BNR-MBR, so-called Anoxic-Anaerobic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor ($A^3$-MBR), developed for nutrient removal was studied to determine the efficiencies and mechanisms under different solid retention time (SRT). The reactor was fed by synthetic high-rise building wastewater with a COD:N:P ratio of 100:10:2.5. The results showed that TKN, TN and phosphorus removal by the system was higher than 95%, 93% and 80%, respectively. Nitrogen removal in the system was related to the simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) reaction which removed all nitrogen forms in aerobic condition. SND reaction in the system occurred because of the large floc size formation. Phosphorus removal in the system related to the high phosphorus content in bacterial cells and the little effects of nitrate nitrogen on phosphorus release in the anaerobic condition. Therefore, high quality of treated effluent could be achieved with the $A^3$-MBR system for various water reuse purposes.

In this research, single-, two- and four-stage intermittently aerated activated sludge system were investigated for simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus with swine wastewater. For the comparison of removal efficiency, conventional activated sludge system was operated. Operational conditions of intermittently aerated activated sludge system were SRT 20day, HRT 24hr and aeration/nonaeration time 1hr/1hr, respectively. Nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in Intermittently aerated activated sludge system was upgraded compare with conventional activated sludge system. In single-stage intermittently aerated activated sludge system, release-uptake of $PO_4^{3-}-P$ was observed very well but, phosphosrus removal in effluent was not effective. In single-stage intermittently aerated activated sludge system, release-uptake of $PO_4^{3-}-P$ in first reactor, was observed very well but, in following reactor, $PO_4^{3-}-P$ concentation showed almost no change. T-N removal efficiency in conventional activated sludge system, single-, two-, and four-stage intermittently aerated activated sludge system were 48, 87, 90.9 and 95.5%, respectively, and phosphorus removal efficiency were 48, 75, 97 and 95%, respectively. Intermittently aerated activated sludge system as a alternative processes of conventional system leads to meet satisfactory effleunt with only on/off aeration regulation and save energy for aeration.

This study was carried out the simultaneous removal or organics and Cr(VI) in aqueous suspensions of phtocatalyst under circular type reactor and UV light illumination. In this experiment, comparison on the removal of Cr(VI) by photoreduction using UV light, photocatalyst adsorption using TiO2, ZnO, and FeCl3 as photocatalyst, and phtocatalysis using UV light with photocatalysts as well as the effect of experimental parameters such as phtocatalyst dosage, a kinds of organics and their concentration was examined. The major results of this study were as follows; 1. It was found that photocatalyst adsorption and phtocatalysis were applicable to the removal of Cr(VI), and Cr(VI) was more effectively eliminated by TiO2 than ZnO, and FeCl3. 2. phtocatalytic removal efficiency of Cr (VI) increased with increasing phtocatalyst dosage. However, over 1.0g/l of phtocatalyst dosage, the efficiency reached a plateau. 3. phtocatalytic removal of Cr(VI) was enhanced by addition of organics such as salicylic acid, mandelic acid, EDTA, and citric acid, and phtocatalytic oxidation of organics were also observed. 4. It was found that the simultaneous removal of organics and Cr(VI) using phtocatalysis was possible.

Simultaneous removal of $NH_3,\;H_2S$ and toluene in a contaminated air stream was investigated over 185 days in a biofilter packed with Zeocarbon granule as microbial support. In this study, multi-microorganisms including Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter for nitrogen removal, Thiobacillus thioparus (ATCC 23645) for $H_2S$ removal, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15692), Pseudomonas putida (ATCC 17484) and Pseudomonas putida (ATCC 23973) for toluene removal were used simultaneously. The empty bed residence time (EBRT) was 40-120 seconds and the feed (inlet) concentrations of $NH_3,\;H_2S$ and toluene were 0.02-0.11, 0.05-0.23 and 0.15-0.21 ppmv, respectively. The observed removal efficiency was 85%-99% for $NH_3$, 100% for $H_2S$, and 20-90% for toluene, respectively. The maximum elimination capacities were 9.3, 20.6 and $17g/m^3/hr\;for\;NH_3,\;H_2S$ and toluene, respectively. The results of kinetic model analysis showed that there were no particular evidences of interactions or inhibitions among the microorganisms, and that the three bio degradation reactions took place independently within a finite area of biofilm developed on the surface of the Zeocarbon carrier.

생물막 공정은 소규모 오수처리공정에서 운전과 유지가 간단하기 때문에 활성 슬러지 공정보다 각광을 받고 있다. 담체로 폐토기와 폐비닐을 충진한 컬럼형 반응기로 실폐수인 식당 폐수의 오염물을 제거하는 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 수력학적 체류시간 (HRT)이 18 hr일 때 COD 제거율은 93.7%로 칙대 COD 제거율을 보였다. 같은 조건에서 T-N과 T-P의 평균 제거율은 각각 82.3%, 25.9%를 나타내었다. 따라서 HRT를 18 hr 이상일 때 유기물과 질소의 제거 측면에서 비교적 만족할 만한 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 액상 균일질 촉매를 이용하여 연소가스 중에 포함되어 있는 $SO_2/NO$의 동시제거 기술 개발에 있다. 연구는 bench scale/소규모 pilot scale에서 이루어졌으며 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) $SO_2$는 실험조건에 상관없이 높은 제거효율을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 NO의 경우 충진층 높이가 증가할수록, 농도가 낮을수록, 촉매 분사량이 증가할수록 제거효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) Fe(II)-EDTA를 이용한 $SO_2/NO$ 동시처리 기술 개발을 위한 최적의 설계 인자는 충진 높이 =0.5 m, 액체-기체비 = 20 $L/m^3$, 반응기 단수=3단, 반응기 단면적 = 0.025 $m^2$로 결정하였다. 3) 연구 결과를 기초로 $SO_2/NO$의 동시처리 효율을 실험한 결과 각각 95%, 81% 이상 제거가 가능했다. 4) 높은 HTU는 NO의 제거에 있어 유리하지만 과도한 HTU는 스크러버의 운전효율을 감소시키므로 최적의 HTU를 결정하는 것이 필요하다.

The effect of major operating parameters in spray drying sorber(=SDS) for automatic control for the simultaneous removal of acidic and organic gaseous pollutants from solid waste incinerator was performed. The field experiment was carried out in pilot scale test for the quantification of major operating parameters of hydrophilic and the hydrophobic pollutants. The removal efficiencies of $SO_2$and HCI in the 5wt% slurry condition were being increased with the increase of the stoichiometric ration which is the molecular ratio of lime to the pollutant concentration, and with the decrease of inflow flue gas temperature in the pilot SDS reactor. The removal efficiency along the height of spray drying sorber was closely related to the temperature profile, and more than 90% of total removal efficiency was achieved in an absorption region. For the removal of acidic gas the optimum operating condition considering the economics and a stable operation is the 5wt% of slurry concentration, 1.2 of stoichiometric ratio and 25$0^{\circ}C$ of inflow flue gas temperature. For the organic gases of benzene and toluene the removal efficiencies were 20-60% which is much lower than that of acidic gas. The best removal efficiency was obtained at 1.5 of stoichiometric ratio and 25$0^{\circ}C$ of inflow flue gas temperature. The organic\`s removal efficiency along the height of spray drying sorber was quite different from that of acidic gas, that is, more than 60% of the total removal efficiency for benzene and 90% of the total removal for toluene were achieved in the dried adsorption region, which was formed at the lower or exit part of the reactor.

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.

Three kinds of surfactant systems - cationic surfactant (system 1), combinition of two cationic surfactants (system 2), and combination of two cationic surfactant and non-ionic surfactant (system 3) - for the simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate by micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) were investigated. The highest removal efficiencies of nitrate and phosphate were observed in system 2, which were 90 % of nitrate and 72 % of phosphate. The COD of permeate in system 3 was the lowest, because the added non-ionic surfactant made critical micelle concentration (CMC) lower than that of other surfactant systems. In all systems, the flux decline was similar.
