최근 전자제품 사용의 증가로 인해 버려지는 전자제품의 양도 함께 증가하고 있으며 이렇게 늘어난 전자폐기물이 부적절한 방식으로 처리될 경우 우리에게 악영향을 미치는 위험물질이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 전자폐기물 중 하나인 폐 LCD 유리를 이용한 수질정화용 여재를 이용하여 전자폐기물에 의한 오염을 줄이고, 동시에 강우시 표면 유출로 인하여 발생되는 비점오염을 제어하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 수처리 여재는 기존 수처리 여재의 단점을 보완하는 대체 여재 개발이라는 목적에 적합할 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서 발포기술이 적용된 폐 LCD 유리 여재의 비점오염에 의한 수질정화능력평가를 하기 위해 실험 장치를 구성하여 실험하였다. 반응조는 직경 0.10 m, 높이 0.75 m 크기(총용량= 5.89 $\ell$)로 두께 10mm의 투명 아크릴판으로 3조를 제작하였다. 유입수는 미량 펌프를 이용하여 유입하였다. 각 반응조의 체류시간에 의한 수질정화능력을 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 오염물질에 대한 제거효율 범위는 SS $64.1%\sim88.2%$, BOD $29.8\sim52.4%$, COD $56.8\sim66.1%$, T-N $39.4\sim\;52.3%$, T-P $14.1\sim36.8%$로 나타났다. 체류시간이 가장 길었던 반응조의 경우, 대부분의 측정항목에서 높은 처리 효율을 볼 수 있었다. 초기에 처리 효율이 낮은 것은 미생물이 부착되지 않았기 때문이라고 판단되며, 실험의 중반과 후반에서 미생물이 부착이 되는 시점부터 높은 처리효율을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to develop water-purification vegetation mats consisting of the eco-friendly materials and to validate their water purification capabilities with the objective of reducing nonpoint pollution into streams. The developed vegetation mats are made of coconut fiber shell and filling consisted of zeolite, diatomaceous earth or a mixture of calcinated foam media. The bench scale assessment of the water purification capability of the three filling materials showed that the removal efficiencies of suspended solid (SS), total nitrogen (T-N) and total phosphorus (T-P) were higher in the foam media than in zeolite or diatomaceous earth. From the results of the field experiment, the removal efficiencies of the vegetation mats filled with the foam media were 60.1% in SS, 32.2% in T-N and 20.2% in T-P. Therefore the vegetation mats filled with the foam media calcinated from zeolite and diatomaceous earth should have higher efficiencies in controlling the nonpoint source pollutions in streams.

본 연구에서는 유입수의 유입 방향을 달리 하였을 때 각 여재의 처리효율 차이점을 조사하고자 하였다. 실험재료는 제올라이트, 화산석, 발포 세라믹, 폴리에틸렌(Poly Ethylene) 4종의 여재이며 총 용적 31 L의 아크릴반응조에 각각의 여재를 충진하였고 각각 상향류 및 하향류의 흐름 방식을 적용하여 2차에 걸쳐 여과실험을 진행하였다. 제거효율은 유입수 대비 유출수의 농도 변화를 통하여 관찰하였고, 수질 측정은 SS, COD, T-N, T-P 네 항목으로 수질공정시험법에 의거하여 분석하였다. 실험 결과 제올라이트는 SS, COD, T-N항목에서 상향류를 적용한 여과에서 제거효율이 높은 경향을 보였다. 특히 T-N항목의 경우 상향류 조건에서 49.2%, 하향류 조건에서 34.4%의 제거효율을 나타내 흐름조건별 제거효율에 가장 큰 격차를 보였다. 화산석의 경우 SS, COD, T-N항목은 흐름방식에 따른 제거효율에 주목할 만한 차이를 드러내지 않았으나 예외적으로 T-P항목만 상향류 조건에서 24.2%, 하향류 조건에서 15.9%의 제거효율을 나타냄으로써 상향류 조건에서 8.3% 높은 제거효율을 얻었다. 발포 세라믹 여재는 하향류를 적용한 여과에서 제거효율이 우세한 경향을 보였으며 특히 COD 항목의 경우 상향류 조건에서보다 하향류 조건에서 제거효율이 7.5% 향상된 결과를 얻었다. 폴리에틸렌 여재는 전반적으로 유입 조건에 따른 경향성을 나타내지 않았으나 예외적으로 SS항목의 경우 하향류 조건에서보다 상향류 조건을 적용한 여과에서 7.9% 높은 제거효율을 얻었다.

The stormwater runoff from the increasing paved roads and vehicles resulted in the increase in the pollutants load to adjacent water bodies. The granular media filtration facilities are the most widely adopted to minimize the non-point source pollution from motorways. It is essential to consider the severe variation of hydraulic condition, suspended solid (SS) characteristics, and the medium characteristics for stormwater management filter. In this study, different types of media, including sand, were tested and the performance of downflow sand filters was investigated under various linear velocity and influent solid particle size. Results showed that the best medium is the coarse sand with large grain size, which showed the specific SS removal before clogging of more than $8.498kg/m^2$, the SS removal of higher than 95%, and minimum head loss. Linear velocity did not affect the total solid removal, while the performance was improved when fine solid was introduced. It is suggested that the life of a downflow sand filter bed can be extended by deep bed filtration when influent particles are fine. However, the captured particles can be washed out after a long period of operation.

The purpose of this study is to reprocess Waste-LCD(Liquid Crystal Display), to widely increase specific surface-area by foaming agent in the process of reprocessing and to use as a substrate of water treatment which is increased the ability of biological treatment, as well as to control non-point source pollutants produced by surface run off during rainfall with using this substrate, and to improve water quality of public watershed as developing substrate for water treatment to be able to purify second treated water which is exhausted at the wastewater treatment plant. The average removal efficiency of Waste-LCD that using the foaming technology was SS 71.2%, BOD 55.7%, COD 58.4%, T-N 29.5% and T-P was 50.3%. Almost Media, early stage showed low removal efficiency of SS and BOD. However, it became high when the microorganism adhered the Media. The variation of SS removal efficiency was high by inflow concentration of SS. The reason for the Media 4 showed high SS removal efficiency is that it has wide specific surface-area, and also it has a pore. All in all, it shows floating matter treatment ability not only inside but it also works outside of the substrate.

Investigated the processing characteristics of the pollutants and runoff due to storm events in the actual application of the road fields and a Non-Point Sources (NPS) pilot scale equipment. This phenomenon has occurred in the influent bypass the blockage occurs after 90 min the expended polymeric media was filled with filtered column. When entering a treatment tank SS 200 mg/L or more high concentration of effluent treatment efficiency was reduced from the reaction time 60 min. Influent concentration less then SS 180 mg/L was stable handling. The $COD_{Cr}/SS$ ratio were analyzed with 0.67, median value. Showed 92.1% and 82.3% respectively with an average removal rate of the SS and the $COD_{Cr}$. If the influent concentration of TP is the 0.5 mg/L or less, the quality of the treated water is 0.1 mg/L levels were expressed in a stable process. And when entering the 1.0 mg/L or more of the treated water, had a greater than average 0.2 mg/L. If the influent concentration of TN is 4~10 mg/L, the treatment water quality level was kept a 1.5~3.0 mg/L. The average removal efficiency of TP and TN respectively 73.9%, 50.4%.

Biological nutrient removal(BNR) process used in this study, which was packed with EPS(expanded polystylene) media, has more many advantages in aspect of reducing hydraulic retention time(HRT) of the process and having less effect of temperature in the winter season than commercial process in the present. Bench-scale study was performed using domestic wastewater. In the results, it was observed that the T-N removal efficiencies in HRT 6 hr and HRT 4 hr were 55% and 51%, respectively, showing the small reduction (about 4%) of T-N removal efficiency according to shortening of HRT. In comparison of T-N removal characteristic in summer and winter seasons, it showed that T-N removal efficiencies in summer and winter seasons were 65% and 54%, respectively, showing the 11% lower T-N removal efficiency in winter season than in summer season due to deterioration of nitrification in winter season. In the studies of influent loading rate and C/N ratio, the process showed stable effluent quality under the condition of broad influent loading rate and C/N ratio. Therefore, it is anticipated that the developed process in this study could be applicable to small wastewater treatment plant in nutrient removal.
