암모니아 대신 에탄올아민은 원자력 발전소 2차계통수에서 pH를 증가시켜 철 부식을 억제하고, 중기 발생기 전열관의 건전성을 제고하기 위해 사용하고 있다. 에탄올아민은 암모니아와 물리화학적 성질이 다르므로, 증기발생기에 유입되는 부식생성물의 용해와 흡착, 이온성 불순물의 잠복현상에 미치는 영향이 다르다. 본 연구에서는 온도가 증가함에 따라 암모니아와 에탄올아민이 부식생성물에 대한 용해와 흡착, 이온성 불순물의 잠복현상에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 2차 계통수의 pH 제어제로서 에탄올 아민은 암모니아보다 증기발생기 슬러지의 철산화물에 많이 흡착되어 철산화물의 용해도를 증가시키므로 퇴적된 슬러지의 양을 감소시키며, 또한 슬러지에 흡착된 불순물의 양을 감소시켜 잠복 현상을 억제할 것으로 판단된다.

As the regulation of total phosphorus (T-P) concentration in biologically treated sewage effluent is reduced to 0.2~2 mg/L, flocculation process is recommended to remove T-P. In this study, the performance of Ti-salt coagulant was investigated in terms of dosage and pH in removing phosphorus and the collected sludge after Ti-salt flocculation was calcined to produce titania for effective sludge recycling. The flocculation performance was carried out using two methods: sedimentation and air floatation. Both methods were feasible to apply for Ti-salt flocculation. Ti-salt flocculation was effective in reducing phosphorus concentration in sewage effluent, which showed similar performance of alum ($Al_2(SO_4)_3$). The calcined sludge was recycled to titania which is the widely used metal oxide. Titania produed from Ti-salt sludge indicated similar characteristics of commercially-available P-25 in regard to photocatalytic activity and surface area. Therefore, this can be easily adopted to titania application by replacing P-25.

The factors affecting on sludge sedimentation are reported as F/M ratio, ingredient, composition of influent substrate, dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, pH, filamentous bacteria and SRT. Aeration tank applying Bacillus sp. has an important role for maintaining the dominant microorganism species to make steady progress for spore growth affecting sedimentation. This research aims to investigate the affecting factor for the sedimentation in B3 system and RABC system with aeration tank applying tapered aeration. Extracellular polymeric substances(EPS), protein and carbohydrate can be produced for the extreme condition, that is down to 0.2 mg/L of dissolved oxygen in the aeration tank. This research found out the relation between the sedimentation and the EPS production, especially the ratio of protein/carbohydrate. The spore of Bacillus sp. was formed at the low DO then microorganisms produced EPS. The results showed that the production of EPS was 109.95 mgEPS/gSS at 1.6 mg/L of DO, however it was 131.77 mgEPS/gSS at 0.5 mg/L of DO. The sedimentation was affected by protein content in EPS and the ratio of protein and carbohydrate. The settleability of sludge was not affected by the ratio of protein/carbohydrate in B3 process, meanwhile settleability was affected by the ratio of it in RABC process, respectively.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performances of the ASBR under critical conditions of solid-liquid separation, caused by extremely high solids concentration, for wider application of the ASBR to various wastes. The ASBRs and completely-mixed daily-fed control runs were operated using a municipal mixed sludge at 35$^{\circ}C$ and 55$^{\circ}C$. Conversion of completely-mixed daily-fed reactor to sequencing batch mode and changes in HRT of all ASBRs were easily achieved without adverse effect, regardless of digestion temperature. Solids accumulation was remarkable in the ASBRs, and directly affected by settleable solids concentration of the feed sludge. Noticeable difference in solids-liquid separation was that flotation thickening occurred in the mesophilic ASBRs, while gravity thickening was a predominant solid-liquid separation process in the thermophilic ASBRS. Solids profiles at the end of thickening step dramatically changed at solid-liquid interface, and slight difference in solids concentrations was observed within thickened sludge bed. Organics removals based on subnatant or supernatant after thickening always exceeded 80% in all reactors. Thickened sludge volume and gas production of the ASBRs affected mutually. Gas production increased as thickened sludge accumulated, and continuous gas evolution during thickening could cause thickened sludge to expand or resuspend. Thickened sludge volume exceeding a predetermined withdrawal level resulted in loss of organic solids as well as biomass during withdrawal step, leading to decrease in gas production ind SRT. Such an adverse mutual effect was significant in gravity thickening, while it was not sensitive in flotation thickening. Changes in organic loading had no significant effect on organic removals and gas production after build-up of solids in the ASBRs.

우리나라 대규모 하수처리장에 상용화되어있는 응집공정의 운영상 난점을 극복하고자 대체공정으로 고안된 인 결정여과공정(HCF, Hydroxyapatite Crystallization-Filtration process)의 pilot plant를 구축하고 부산슬러지의 자원화를 위해 그 특성을 검토하였다. 기존의 hydroxyapatite(HAP) 결정화공정 내 탈탄산(decarbonation) 단계를 생략하는 HCF공정의 경우에 고농도의 Ca²⁺ 주입과 처리수내 탄산염으로 인해 HAP을 포함하는 석회계 슬러지가 발생하는데, 이는 산성화된 토양의 개량제(중화제)로 널리 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구를 위해 경기도 I하수처리장 2차침전지 후단에 구축된 처리용량 27.1 - 135.6 m³/day HCF pilot plant의 전처리 조건은 pH 10.0 - 11.0, Ca²⁺ 농도 80 mg/L이었다. 결정여과조는 선속도 1.0 - 5.0 m/hr, 상향류로 운전되며, 여재는 2.0 - 3.0 mm의 석회석 모래를 충전하였다. 역세척은 중앙에 Air lifting pipe를 설치하여 역세척수가 처리수와 분리배출되도록 설계하였고, 침전시켜 역세척 슬러지를 회수하였다. 처리수의 평균 T-P, PO₄-P 및 SS는 각각 0.05, 0.04, 1.1 mg/L으로 모든 항목에서 방류수 수질기준 이하로 안정적으로 유출되었다. 회수된 HCF 슬러지는 SEM-EDX, XRD, FT-IR을 활용하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. SEM-EDX로 분석된 슬러지의 원자분율은 CaCO₃ 또는 HAP으로 추측되었다. 또한, XRD spectrum 분석결과, 슬러지의 주요 구성성분은 calcite, HAP, phosphoric acid(H₃PO₄) 및 brusite로 나타났다. FT-IR 분석결과, 슬러지는 대부분 인산염 및 탄산염의 무기물로 구성되어 있으며, 유입수의 인 농도가 높을수록 슬러지 내 HAP의 함량이 calcite보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 고농도의 Ca²⁺을 주입하여 탈탄산단계를 생략한 HCF의 부산슬러지는 HAP 이외에도 CaCO₃와 칼슘-인 화합물로 구성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하수 인 고도처리를 위한 HCF공정의 하수처리시설 인 고도처리 적용이 검증되었으며, 부산슬러지를 산성화된 토양의 개량제(중화제) 또는 비료로서의 재활용 및 자원화 가능성이 시사되었다.

현재 상수시설의 경우 갈수록 악화되는 수질과 정수장의 유지관리 인원 상주의 어려움, 기존의 응집, 침전, 여과 정수처리 시스템의 처리성능 증대에 따른 한계성에 직면한 상황이다. 안정적으로 수질의 개선을 통한 장치의 컴팩트화, 유지관리가 편리한 고도정수 수질기준에 만족하는 정수처리 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 정수처리 시설인 혼화지에 응집제와 함께 다양한 비중을 가지고 있는 모래입자를 투입하여 응집제와 모래의 결합에 따른 탁도 제거효율과 슬러지의 양을 비교하였으며, 침전지내에 정류벽을 설치하여 침전지 초반에 가라앉을 수 있도록 유도하여 탁도 및 슬러지양을 비교하였다. 응집제만 투입한 경우보다 시료를 투입한 경우가 탁도제거율과 슬러지양이 상승하는 것을 볼 수 있으며 그중에서도 규사의 경우가 가장 많은 탁도제거율의 상승을 나타냈다. 또한 이중 정류벽을 설치하여 탁도 및 슬러지양을 측정한 결과 이중정류벽을 설치하지 않은 경우보다 탁도제거율 및 슬러지양 또한 높게 측정되었으며 슬러지의 양 또한 침전지 앞부분에 집중되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 경우 상기 플럭의 질량이 증가하기 때문에 처리속도를 높이고, 체류시간을 줄이고, 처리를 효율적으로 안정되게 수행하는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 정수시설의 설치에 있어 시료와 이중정류벽을 함께 사용할 경우 응집제의 절감 또는 침전지의 컴팩트화를 가져올 것으로 예상된다.

In order to separate Indium and Tin from spent indium tin oxide (ITO) sludge, direct hydrochloric acid leaching and thermal reduction followed by HCl leaching were applied. In case of direct leaching of spent ITO, leaching rate of In and Sn was 18.5% and 19.95%, respectively. Whereas, in case of thermal hydrogen treatment of ITO sludge at different temperatures such as $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$, $900^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$, followed by HCl leaching, we obtained the result of more than 97% leaching rate of Sn. Specially, thermal treatment at $800^{\circ}C$ showed the highest leaching rate of 98.2% of Sn. Precipitation method was used for separation and recovery of Sn from leached mixed solution. If the solution pH were adjusted 2.0, 99.69% of Sn precipitated and 10.3% of In was precipitated. This confirmed the possibility of separation of Sn and In from leached solution by precipitation method.

Red mud is an industrial by-product produced during the manufacturing aluminum hydroxide ($Al(OH)_3$) and aluminum oxide($Al_2O_3$) from Bauxite ores. In Korea, approximately 2 tons of red mud in a sludge form with 50% moisture content is produced when 1ton of $Al_2O_3$ is produced through the Bayer process. In the paper, dispersion characteristics of liquefied red mud that does not require heating and grinding process for recycling were investigated through viscosity and sediment index. The results showed that the sediment index of liquefied red mud increased but viscosity of that decreased with a higher W/R ratio. Also we proposed the range of initial viscosity from 2000cP to 8000cP and target sedimentation index below 20% at elapsed time 180days for stable dispersion of liquefied red mud.
