Study on the Long-term Change of nitrogen in the Tidal Area of River

하천 감조부에 있어서 질소의 장기변동에 관한 연구

Several field surveys were conducted to investigate changes of water quality with time in a tidal river. Results indicated that nitrification process were dependent on the change of salinity and suspended solids concenttration. Therefore laboratory batch experiments were conducted, using suspended solids and sediment taken from a tidal river, to study the effect of salinity on nitrification and to estimate kinetic parameters of it in the tidal river. suspended solids and sediment were sampled at a point in the middle stream. Sediments were collect from the aerobic layer of mud. The change of nitrogen concentration with time was clearly explained with Monod groth model and kinetic parameters were obtained by curve fitting method. Changes in NH4-N, NO2-N, and NO3-N concentrations in the river ROKKAU with time were simulated well using Lagrangian reference frame and parameter values obtained in the laboratory tests. T도 mechanism of nitrification by suspended solids and sediment in a tidal river is shown to depend on tidal effects.
