In the present research, we prepared the activated carbon (AC) sorbents to remove gas-phase mercury. The mercury adsorption of virgin AC, chemically treated AC and fly ash was performed. Sulfur impregnated and sulfuric acid impregnated ACs were used as the chemically treated ACs. A simulated flue gas was made of SOx, NOx and mercury vapor in nitrogen balance. A reduced mercury adsorption capacity was obtained with the simulated gas as compared with that containing only mercury vapor in nitrogen. With the simulated gas, the sulfuric acid treated AC showed the highest performance, but it might have the problem of corrosion due to the emission of sulfuric acid. It was also found that the high sulfur impregnated AC also released a portion of sulfur at $140^{\circ}C$. Thus, it was concluded that the low sulfur impregnated AC was suitable for the treatment of flue gas in terms of stability and efficiency.

아임계 및 초임계 조건의 물을 이용하여 캐나다산 Athabasca 오일샌드로부터 역청 추출 및 황 제거 실험을 수행하였다. 0~120 min의 반응시간, 360, $380^{\circ}C$의 온도, 15~30 MPa의 압력 및 $0.074{\sim}0.61g/cm^3$의 물 밀도를 변화시키면서 micro reactor에서 역청 수율을 조사하였다. 역청 수율은 온도에 상관없이 압력이 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 특히 초임계 영역에서 수증기 개질반응에 의해 생성된 수소에 의해 역청의 수율이 급격히 증가하였다. 전체 기상 생성량은 압력 증가에 따라 감소하였으나 $380^{\circ}C$에서 황과 수소의 생성분율은 25 및 30 MPa로 압력 증가에 따라 소량 증가하였다. 이상의 결과는 초임계 조건이 수소의 생성과 황의 제거에 유리하다는 것을 보여준다. 초임계 조건$380^{\circ}C$, 25와 30 MPa)에서 역청 수율은 최대 약 22%였으며, 오일샌드에 함유된 황 제거율도 최대값 40%에 도달하였다.

The treatment of dyeing wastewater is not easy because dyes are mainly aromatic, heterocyclic compounds. The most effective technologies and methods to treat dyeing wastewater are costly and involve materials that are difficult to regenerate after use. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cost-effective, eco-friendly technologies to treat dyeing wastewater. The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of sulfur blue 11 (CI 53235) anionic dye using methyl esterified sericite (ME-sericite) adsorbents in an aqueous solution. The results are discussed in terms of the ME-sericite particle size, temperature, pH value and initial sorption rate according to the initial sulfur blue concentration. In addition, we analyzed the adsorption kinetics using a Pseudo-second-order model with the desorption and reusability. The methyl esterification caused a considerable increase in the specific surface area from 4.45 to $17.62m^2/g$. The ME-sericite adsorbents successfully removed > 98% of the sulfur dye in the aqueous solution. For the adsorption of 1 mg of sulfur dye, approximately 4.6 to 6.6 g/L ME-sericite were required. The desorption process was carried out by mixing a NaOH eluent to desorb 90.56% of the sulfur dye with 2 h of contact time. Thus, the ME-sericite is a promising adsorbent to treat dyeing wastewater due to its low dose requirement, high removal efficiency and inexpensive material.

In this study, the major operating factors in SND(simultaneous nitrification and denitrification) using bioreactor packed with submerged cilia media and granular sulfur such as variation of nitrification rate, organic matter removal efficiency and denitrification efficiency in different DO concentration were mainly evaluated. Synthetic wastewater and actual sewage were used as influent wastewater. Experiment with synthetic wastewater as influent wastewater was divided into three phases with the adjustment of DO concentration. As the results, nitrification efficiency and T-N removal efficiency in the Phase 3(DO 1.0~2.0 mg/L) were 99% and 52.3%, which is significantly greater than those in other two phases. Also, loading rate and denitrification efficiency of SCPGS(Submerged Cilia media Packed with Granular Sulfur) were calculated as $0.44kg\;NO_3^--N/m^3-day$ and 50%, respectively. On the other hand, nitrification rate was decreased from 99% to 64% according to the DO concentration with the variation from 3.0~3.5 mg/L(phase1) to 0.4~0.6mg/L(phase2). Although the nitrification rate was decreased in 64% according to the variation of the DO concentration, T-N removal rate was rapidly increased to 49% by increasing of the denitrification efficiency. Experiment with actual sewage as influent wastewater was carried out to evaluate efficiency of SCPGS in real operation condition of full-scale sewage water treatment plant. At the time, T-N removal rate in this experiment and full-scale wastewater treatment plants were given by 43% and 20%, respectively. The above results indicate that SCPGS can be used as an advanced treatment process for economical efficiency considered.

In this study, the removal efficiency of trimethylamine (TMA) and four reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) of $H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, and DMDS was investigated using deionized water as absorbent. To this end, two types of experiments were conducted which include: (1) by passing both RSC and TMA standard gases through water contained in an impinger system and (2) by passing TMA gases through a water spray system. In the former method, TMA standard gases were effectively removed (below detection limit) in all experiments. Likewise, minor fractions of some RSC ($CH_3SH$, DMS, and DMDS) were removed by water in line with theoretical expectations. In addition, the first type of our experiment was extended further to test some commercially available odor treatment products. The results of this test showed that removal efficiencies of RSC $(8.2\pm13.7\sim43.7\pm2.48%)$ were different significantly among 4 kinds of absorbent, while the removal of TMA was consistently good as water. In the second phase of experiment, removal efficiency of TMA was tested by passing its standard gas through a water spray system. The overall results of our study showed that the actual removal efficiency of odorants by water (as sorptive media) approached the values that can be predicted theoretically (by Henry's law).

본 연구에서는 필터를 이용하여 가스상 황화합물들을 필터 방식으로 제거하는 특성을 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 이산화황으로 대표되는 산화황화합물과 황화수소를 위시한 5가지 환원황화합물 ($H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, $CS_2$, 와 DMDS)을 동시에 함유한 표준가스를 준비하였다. 그리고 이 가스를 연구대상으로 정한 글래스파이버 필터에 흘려주면서, 필터 통과 유무에 따른 농도차를 분석하였다. 이러한 자료를 토대로 황성분들의 제거특성을 각각의 황성분에 대비하여 해석하였다. 그 결과에 의하면, 이산화황은 필터에 의해 거의 완전하게 제거되지만, 환원황성분들은 각자의 반응성에 따라 상당히 차별화된 결과를 보였다. 반응성이 가장 강한 황화수소는 60% 가까이 제거되었다. 그러나 이에 반해, 분자량이 큰 성분들(DMS, $CS_2$, DMDS)은 필터에 제거되지 않고 거의 통과하는 것으로 나타났다.

퍼클로레이트(${ClO_4}^-$)는 지표수 및 토양/지하수에서 검출되는 신규 오염물이다. 퍼클로레이트 환원세균(PRB)은 ${ClO_4}^-$를 무해한 최종산물로 전환시킬 수 있으므로 ${ClO_4}^-$ 제거는 미생물을 이용한 방법이 가장 적절한 것으로 알려졌다. 이전 연구[3]를 통해 원소 황 입자와 활성슬러지를 이용하여 독립영양방식의 ${ClO_4}^-$ 제거가 가능하다는 실험적 증거가 제시되었다. 입자상 황은 비교적 값이 저렴하고, 활성슬러지는 하수처리장으로부터 쉽게 구할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 원소 황을 전자공여체로 사용하였을 때 여러 환경요인이 활성슬러지 미생물의 ${ClO_4}^-$ 분해에 미치는 영향을 회분반응으로 조사하였다. 이 회분반응의 결과를 통해 활성슬러지 미생물에 의한 독립영양방식의 ${ClO_4}^-$ 분해를 위한 최적조건을 도출하였다. 또한 활성슬러지로부터 농화배양된 황산화 PRB는 활성슬러지보다 ${ClO_4}^-$ 제거능이 우수한 것으로 회분반응 결과 나타났다. 그래서 본 연구결과는 최적조건 적용 및 농화배양된 접종균을 통해 원소 황과 활성슬러지를 이용한 독립영양방식의 ${ClO_4}^-$ 제거를 향상할 수 있다는 것을 나타내었다.

축산폐수는 고농도의 유기물 및 질소를 함유하고 있으므로 적절한 처리 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구는 황을 이용한 독립영양 탈질 방법으로 질산성 질소에서 질소가스로의 탈질이 아닌 아질산성질소에서의 황산화 탈질을 연구하였으며 탈질 미생물의 최적 성장 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 초기 알칼리도가 충분한 조건에서는 아질산성질소 탈질 저해가 관찰되지 않았으며 실험온도가 $20^{\circ}C$인 경우에도 $30^{\circ}C$와 비교할 때 큰 저해 없이 탈질이 진행되었다. 하지만 초기 아질산성질소의 농도 300 mg/L 이상에서 lag phase가 늘어나 기질저해가 나타났다. 알칼리도가 충분하지 않은 조건에서 질산성질소의 탈질효율은 10%인 반면 아질산성질소의 탈질의 95% 이상이었다. 산소가 존재할 경우 산소를 이용하여 탈질이 이루어지지 않았음에도 불구하고 황산화 미생물이 산소를 이용하여 황산염의 농도가 증가하였다. 아질산성질소 탈질 시 알칼리도의 소모가 관찰되었으나 질산염 탈질시 보다 알칼리도의 소모가 적었으며 황산염 생성 또한 적었다. 황이용 아질산성 질소 탈질은 외부탄소원의 추가적인 주입 없이 저렴한 황입자를 이용하며 질산성질소 황산화 탈질의 단점인 알칼리도 파괴, 황산염이온 생성의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 효과적인 탈질 방법이 될 것으로 기대된다.

To remove sulfur dioxide from flue gas by the method of metal oxide, copper powder of average diameter $2.4\mu\textrm{m}$and $51\mu\textrm{m}$ were used in a fixed bed reactor over a, temperature range of $300^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$. Copper oxide reacts with sulfur dioxide producing cupric sulfate and it can be regenerated from the latter by using hydrogen or methane. Experimental results showed that the reaction rate was increased by the increase of reaction temperature in the range of $300^{\circ}C-422^{\circ}C$ and the removal efficiency of sulfur dioxide was high in case of small size copper particle. However the removal efficiency was decreased at higher temperature due to decomposition of cupric sulfate. The rate controlling step of this reaction was chemical reaction and deactivating catalysts model can be applied to this reaction. The rate constants for this reaction and deactivation are as follows ： k＝8,367exp(-10,298/RT) Kd＝2.23exp(-8,485/RT)

The trend of international concerns on environmental conservation and domestic demand of ambient air quality improvement, specially on sulfur dioxide level has resulted in the establishment of mid-term strategy of environmental improvement and stepwise strengthening of emission regulations in this decade in Korea. Development of flue gas desulfurization(FGD) process is becoming an essential task to be accomplished especially for the power plants and large industrial facilities. This study is an initial stage researc focusing on the mass transfer principles in wet type FGD process and the effects of operating variables of a jet bubbling scrubber utilizing limestone slurry on sulfur dioxide removal efficiency. Experimental results showed this type of scrubbing system has some advantages in terms of mass transfer mechanism and removal efficiency. More rigorous research is needed for the reaction system and the comparison with existing FGD processess for the possible development of a process which is compatative in view of installation cost and treatment of by-products.
