Abstract

Biotransformation of inorganic nitrogens, which are possible contaminants of bank filtered water, in soil of near bank filtration site was investigated based on oxygen consumption and changes of chemical parameters in respirometer. Biotransformation activities of inorganic nitrogens at different conditions of pH. water content. and added initial${NH_4}_2$$SO_4$were compared. At original low pH and 20% of water content, nearly no biotransformation activity of inorganic nitrogen was observed, in addition, control and NH$_4$-added sets did not show any significant differences of oxygen consumption. Among tested conditions, the highest activity was observed at 25% water content and pH 8. Nearly 98% nitrification activity was observed at sets amended with 400 mg $NH_4$-N/kg soil as${NH_4}_2$$SO_4$in the condition of pH 8 and 20~23% water content. However, considerable activity of subsequent denitrification was not observed.

강둑여과의 적지로 판단되는 지역의 배후 농경지 표층토에 대한 무기질소 변환 활동도를 호흡량 측정기에서 소비한 산소량에 기준하여 조사하였다. 초기 표층토 pH(약 4.8~5.7)를 변화시키지 않고 수분함량을 약 20%로 조정한 상태에서 무기질소의 변환을 관찰한 결과 대조군과 실험군의 뚜렷한 호흡량 및 무기질소변환은 관찰할 수 없었고 조사한 실험조건에서 수분 25%, pH 8 정도에서 가장 활발한 미생물 활동도가 관찰되었다. 또한 초기 ${NH_4}_2$$SO_4$400 mg $NH_4$-N의 농도에서 98%정도의 질산화가 조사되었으나 탈질화는 거의 발생하지 않았다.
