The new system evaluating the pollution of the water quality for the branches of geum river using the fuzzy integral was proposed in this study. In this paper, the five individual factors, such as BOD(biochemical oxygen demand), COD(chemical oxygen demand), SS(suspended solids), T-N(total nitrogen), and T-P(total phosphorus) are selected. The measurement of fuzzy integral was determined depending on the degree of how they affect the pollution of water quality. The real values for the five factors measured and obtained from the branches of the geum river was normalized to ranging from 0 to 1. Finally, using the fuzzy integral, the degree of the pollution for the branches of geum river was expressed as the real numerical number. As a result, it appears that this approach can be proposed as the new system evaluating the pollution of the water quality for the branches of the geum river.

오존(Ozone) 이용의 역사는 19세기의 음료수 살균으로 거슬러 올라간다. 그후 선택적 화학반응을 이용한 화학합성, 1970년대의 공해대책시대의 배수(排水)탈색(脫色)$\cdot$탈취(脫臭), 수질 유지로 진전되어 왔다. 최근에는 특히 여러 가지 제품의 제조프로세스 등에서 환경부하가 적고 생산성이 좋은 프로세스가 요청되고 있어, 그러한 관점에서도 분해 후 무해한 산소로 되돌아가는 산화제인 오존의 활용이 기대를 모으고 있다. 기술면에서는 오존 단독처리에 더하여 과산화수소나 자외선과의 병용에 의한 촉진산화처리, 생물처리와의 병용처리 등 반응속도의 향상, 비처리물질의 확대를 겨냥한 새로운 반응기술, 대용량$\cdot$고농도 오조나이저(Ozonizer), 클린 오조나이저 등, 적용분야의 확대를 가능케 하는 오존발생기술, 하드웨어 기술의 진보가 현저하다. 최근에는 이 최신기술과 다른 기술과의 복합에 의한 새로운 제안도 많이 나오고 있으며, 수처리를 중심으로 신(新)프로세스에 더하여, 예를 들면 펄프 표백(漂白) 프로세스와 반도체 제조프로세스 등에의 적용이 급속하게 확대되는 경향이 있어, 바야흐로 새로운 분야를 개척하게 됨으로써 고객의 요구가 다시 신기술을 일으키는 쪽으로 돌아가고 있다고 할 수 있다.

하천수질보전을 위한 필요유량은 하천유지유량 항목 중 하나로써 환경기초시설 등으로 최대한 처리한 후 남는 오염부하량을 고려하여 적정 수질을 유지하는데 필요한 유량을 의미한다. 하천수질보전을 위한 필요 유량을 산정하는 절차는 (1) 수질특성 파악 및 평가대상 항목의 선정, (2) 목표연도 및 목표수질 기준 설정, (3) 오염부하량 조사 및 목표연도별 오염부하량 산정, (4) 수질예측모형의 선정 및 수질예측, (5) 목표수질과의 비교 및 필요유량의 설정으로 이루어질 수 있다. 현재 우리나라에서는 수질평가 항목으로 여러 가지가 제시되어 있지만 주로 생물화학적 산소요구량(BOD)만으로 목표수질을 설정하고 있는 실정이며, 수질예측 모형으로써 QUAL2E 모형이 주로 이용되고 있다. 현재까지 고시된 하천유지유량은 대부분 기준갈수량 또는 평균갈수량이며 몇몇 지점이 하천생태계 및 하천수질보전을 위한 필요유량으로 고시된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 하천수질예측에 많이 이용하고 있는 QUAL2E 모형의 단점을 수정, 보완하고 보다 사용자가 쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 개발된 QUAL2K 모형을 이용하여 용담댐 하류의 하천수질보전을 위한 필요유량을 산정하였다. 과거에 산정된 하천수질보전을 위한 필요유량 산정치와 환경부에서 최근 제시하고 있는 금강오염총량관리 기본계획과의 비교를 통해 산정한 결과의 타당성을 분석해 보았으며 장래 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 상황들을 시나리오로 구축하여 분석함으로써 보다 합리적인 결과를 도출하도록 노력하였다. 하천수질보전을 위한 필요유량 산정 시 하나의 경우에 대한 분석보다는 발생할 수 있는 여러 상황을 시나리오로 분석함으로써 의사결정자나 일반대중에게 보다 다양한 정책 방향성과 유량에 따른 하천수질변화에 대한 다양한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, optimization research was conducted through statistical analysis with the aim of maximizing the efficiency of organic matter reduction and hydrogen production by applying electrolysis process at sewage treatment plant. Statistical analysis and optimal operating conditions of organic matter removal efficiency and H2 generation, which varied with various conditions in the electrolysis process, were derived using response surface methodology. As a result, 1,268 μS/cm of conductivity, 350 A current, and pH 3.2 was found to be the optimum condition to reach the desired value as 38% of organic matter reduction and 2.58 L/min of H2 production. The experiment also determined that the optimization study was reliable. Base on this study, it was confirmed that the removal of organic matter and hydrogen production could be stably by applying the electrolysis process in the sewage treatment plant.

A surfactant is used to assist the effect of cleaning, dispersibility and adhesion during leather manufacturing process. Existing surfactant for that process includes many hydrophilic groups that may cause problem such as stain, bad water resistance and poor durability, etc. It is potential problem to make high-performance property for future leather market. In this study, we have synthesized the fluorinated surfactant of which property decreases surface tension, increases dispersion, cleaning effect and the better chrome absorption by the high bond energy of C-F to complement weakness that the present alkyl derivative surfactants have. Using fluorinated surfactant, we can confirm that dispersion is increased, chrome absorption ratio is augmented with high osmosis and coherence, chrome content in the tanning waste water is reduced, BOD and COD contents are diminished and physical characteristics are improved.

Samples of water, soil, and sediment were taken from 10 streams near Andong, Korea in May 2004. To assess the degree of environmental pollution of each stream, chemical pollutants such as total notrogen (T-N), total phosphorus (T-P), chemical oxygen demand (COD), heavy metals, organophosphorus pesticides, organochlorine pesticides, and dioxin-like PCB congeners were analyzed by standard process tests or U.S. EPA methods. In addition, biomarkers originated from insect immune systems of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, were used to analysis of the environmental samples. Except Waya-chun stream showing T-N content of 9.12 mg/L, most streams were contaminated with relatively low levels of overall pollutants in terms of T-N, T-P, and COD, compared to their acceptable environmental levels designated by the Ministry of Environment. Contents of Pb and Cd in samples of each stream were much lower than environmentally permissible levels. However, several times higherconcentrations of Pb and Cd were found in locations at Mi-chun, Kilan-chun, and Hyunha-chun streams, in comparison with other streams. Diazinon, parathion, and phenthoate compounds among organophosphorus pesticides were detected as concentrations of 0.19, 0.40, and $1.13\;{\mu}g/g$, respectively, from soil sample collected in the vicinity of Mi-chun stream. On the other hand, 16 organochlorine pesticides and 12 dioxin-like PCB congeners, known as endocrine disrupting chemicals, selected in this study were not found above the limit of detection. Biomarker analyses using insect immune responses indicated that Waya-chun stream was suspected as exposure to environmental pollutants. Limitation and compensation of both environmental analysis techniques are discussed.

This research was to apply a multi-metric approach, so called the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) as a tool for biological evaluations of water environments, to a wadable stream. For the study, we surveyed 5 sampling locations in Kap Stream during August 2004 ${\sim}$ September 2005. We also compared the biological data with long-term water quality data, obtained from the Ministry of Environment, Korea and physical habitat conditions based on the Quantitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI). We used ten metric systems for the IBI model to evaluate biological stream health. Overall IBI values in Kap Stream averaged 24 (range: 20${\sim}$30, n=5), indicating a "fair ${\sim}$ poor" conditions according to the modified criteria of Karr (1981) and US EPA(1993). Exclusive of 4th survey, average IBI values at the upstream reach (S1 ${\sim}$ S3)and downstream reach (S4 ${\sim}$ S5) were 20 and 24, respectively. However, in 4th survey the averages were 21 and 20 in the upstream and downstream reaches, respectively. This difference was larger in the upstream than in the downstream because of physical condition disturbed during summer monsoon. Values of the QHEI varied from 75(fair condition) to 148 (good condition) and values of QHEI in the S3 were significantly (P=0.001, n=5) lower than other sites. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were greater by 3 ${\sim}$ 8 fold in the downstream than in the upstream reach. We believe that present IBI approach applied in this study may be used as a key tool to set up specific goals for restoration of Kap Stream.

도시화, 산업화로 인해 하수처리장 유입하수 내 질소 농도가 증가하면서 그에 따른 부영양화 발생, 수생태계에 독성을 미치는 등의 악영향 또한 증가하게 되었다. 하수 내 고농도 질소를 처리하기 위해 1990년 초 연구가 시작되어 현재 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 생물학적 질소 제거 공정은 산소공급과 외부탄소원 보충 과정에서 상당한 비용이 소요된다. 이와 같은 문제점이 대두됨에 따라 고도의 질소 제거 공정이 요구되면서, 경제적으로 개선이 이루어져 기존의 질산화·탈질 공정보다 효율적인 혐기성 암모늄 산화 공정(ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation, ANAMMOX)이 제안되었다. ANAMMOX 공정은 혐기성 조건 아래 전자공여체와 전자수용체로써 암모니아성 질소와 아질산성 질소를 이용해 질소가스 형태로 질소를 제거하는 공정이다. 질산화·탈질 공정과 비교했을 때, 폭기과정에서의 산소요구량 감소, 외부탄소원 불필요, 질소 제거 과정 단축 등의 장점을 가진다. 본 연구는 수처리공정에서의 ANAMMOX 공정의 적용 가능성을 확인하고, 암모니아성 질소대비 아질산성 질소 비율에 따른 Mainstream ANAMMOX 공정의 효율 비교를 통해 공정의 안정성과 높은 제거효율을 확보할 수 있는 NH₄⁺ 대비 NO₂^- 비율을 도출하는데 목적이 있다. 실험실 규모의 Mainstream ANAMMOX 반응조에 적용한 비율은 선행연구를 비롯한 화학양론식에서 제시된 비율을 바탕으로 산정하였다. 1.00부터 1.30의 전체적인 비율을 Initial과 Advanced 2개의 구간으로 나누어 운전한 결과, 각 구간의 NH₄⁺ 제거효율은 각각 58~86%, 94~99%였다. NH₄⁺ 대비 NO₂^- 비율이 증가함에 따라 공정의 안정성이 확보되고, NH₄⁺ 및 총질소(TN) 제거효율이 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 수처리공정에서의 안정적인 ANAMMOX 공정 적용을 유도하고, ANAMMOX 공정의 성능개선을 도모하는 연구의 기초로 활용될 수 있다.

The objective of study was to diagnose integrative ecological health of Daejeon Stream, one of the tributaries of Guem River, during May 2004 ${\sim}$ April 2005. The research approach was primarily based on a Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) and the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) using fish assemblage. These outcomes were compared with conventional chemical dataset. For the experiment, four sampling sites were chosen from Daejeon Stream and long-term water quality data during 1995 ${\sim}$ 2004 (obtained from the Ministry of Environment) were analyzed in the spatial and temporal aspects. For the biological health assessment, we developed a stream health assessment model (SHA model) far regional applications. We found that current water quality conditions, based on the COD, BOD, TN and TP, were enhanced by 1.6 ${\sim}$ 5.3 fold over the period of 1995 ${\sim}$ 2004 and that the parameters showed a typical longitudinal decline from the upstream to downstream reach. The differences of water quality between the two reaches were more than 4.4 times, indicating a large spatial variations within the stream. The health conditions, based on the SHA model, averaged 23 and varied from 20 to 26 depending on the sampling stations. Values of the QHEI varied from 39 (Poor condition) to 124 (Cood condition)and values of QHEI in the reach of S2 ${\sim}$ S4 had significantly lower than in the headwater site (S1). Also, biological stream health, based on the criteria of US EPA (1993), was judged as 'Poor condition', in the S4 where TN, TP, BOD and COD were highest. In the meantime, maximum value of SHA (26) was found in the upstream reach (S1) where the water quality and QHEI were best. We also found that compositions of sensitive species showed a linear function with water quality conditions and this pattern was evident in the tolerant species. Thus, the biological stream health, based on the SHA model, matched well water chemistry. Overall outcomes suggest that the biological health impact was a function of chemical degradation and physical habitat quality in the stream.
