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.

Effect of water back-flushing period (FT) was investigated in hybrid water treatment process of carbon ultrafiltration and polypropylene (PP) beads coated with photocatalyst, and membrane effect was studied by comparing the previous studies with carbon microfiltration or alumina ultrafiltration, microfiltration membranes. FT 6 min was the most effective to control initial membrane fouling and optimal condition because the membrane fouling resistance was low until initial 60 min and the maximum total permeate volume was acquired at this FT. The turbidity treatment efficiency was high beyond 98.6%, and did not depend on FT, which was same with the previous result of carbon or alumina microfiltration. The organic matters treatment efficiency was the highest value of 98.2% at FT 6 min, which was almost same trend with the previous result of alumina microfiltration. Then the organic matters treatment efficiency of carbon microfiltration was the minimum at no back-flushing (NBF) and increased as decreasing FT, but that of alumina ultrafiltration was the maximum at NBF and also increased as decreasing FT. Therefore it means that water back-flushing effect on the organic matters treatment efficiency had a different mechanism depending on pore size in spite of the same material membranes.

The $N_2$ back-flushing period (FT) and time (BT) were investigated in hybrid process of ceramic microfiltration and PES (polyethersulfone) beads loaded with titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) photocatalyst for advanced drinking water treatment in viewpoints of membrane fouling resistance ($R_f$), permeate flux (J), and total permeate volume ($V_T$). As decreasing FT and increasing BT, $R_f$ decreased and J increased, and finally the maximum $V_T$ could be acquired at FT 10 min and BT 30 sec. In FT effect experiment, treatment efficiencies of turbidity and dissolved organic matters (DOM) were the highest at no back-flushing (NBF) because of dramatic membrane fouling. As result of BT effect, the treatment efficiencies were the maximum at BT 30 sec, which was different with the FT result. Because the photocatalyst beads could be cleaned effectively as decreasing FT and increasing BT, turbidity treatment efficiency increased a little from 95.4% to 97.5% as decreasing FT, and from 95.9% to 98.5% as increasing BT. Also DOM treatment efficiency increased from 70.8% to 80.6% as decreasing FT, and from 75.1% to 85.8% as increasing BT. The optimal condition, where the treatment efficiencies and $V_T$ were the maximum, should be FT 10 min and BT 30 sec in our experimental range.

In the present study the membrane filtration characteristics of a commercially available synthetic water-based cutting oil through two kinds of ultrafiltration membranes (HF1-45-CM50 and HF1-43-CM100) with molecular weight cut-offs of 50,000 and 100,000, respectively, have been investigated in detail. Among these membranes, the hydrophilic one (HF1-45-CM50) was found to show a satisfactory result for both the permeate flux and the permeability of oil components, whereas the permeate flux obtained with the hydrophobic membrane (HF1-43-CM100) appears to be significantly low, indicating that synthetic cutting oil was easily wetted on the hydrophobic membrane surface and induced more membrane fouling. The effect of material characteristics of the membrane on the filtration characteristics was found to be much more significant compared with the mean pore size of the membrane. Backflushing by nitrogen gas was applied to reduce the formation of a gel layer and membrane fouling. With the hydrophilic membrane, the backflushing was found to increase the permeate flux, whereas the backflushing resulted in a decrease in flux for the hydrophobic membrane. The flux recovery was observed to be highest when the membranes fouled with waste synthetic cutting oil were immersed into a cleaning solution for more than 72 hours and then backflushed by nitrogen gas.

본 연구에서 biofilter를 이용하여 $H_2S$와 styrene의 혼합가스의 제거특성을 살펴본 결과, 먼저 biofilter의 담체로서 화산석이 충분히 활용될 수 있음을 보였고, 혼합가스의 수십 또는 수백배의 높은 농도에서 EBCT을 30 sec로 하여도 100%의 제거율을 보여 본 연구에 사용된 biofilter는 악취물질 제거에 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 혼합가스의 운전으로 pH는 저하되었지만 제거효율이 감소하는 현상은 발생하지 않았으며, 장기간의 운전에도 압력손실이 낮아 역세척이나 nutrient 공급을 조절할 필요가 없었다.

1. 서론 : 수처리공정에서의 막오염은 효과적인 공정운용을 위해 주요 문제로 인식되고 있으며 막오염은 막표면이나 세공에서 물질의 흡착, 부착 그리고 축적 등과 같은 일련의 메카니즘에 의해 투과율을 저하시키는 결과를 초래한다. 본 연구는 주기적인 역세척(frequency backpulsing)에 의한 중공사막에서의 오염 현상을 규명하여 정수 처리 공정에서 막오염을 최소화시키는 운전 조건을 확립하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다.

급속한 경제발전에 따라 생활 수준이 향상되고 생활양식도 많이 변화되고 있으며 가정이나 생산현장에서 발생하는 폐기물의 발생량은 급속히 증가하고 있다. 해마다 누적되어 가는 폐기물 매립량의 증가로 인하여 기존 폐기물 매립지는 현재 거의 포화 상태에 달해 있다. 이에 따라 우리나라의 폐기물 처리 방법은 기존의 매립위주에서 소각처리로 점차 확대되어 나가고 있는 실정이지만 소각시설 인근 지역의 환경 질 저하에 대한 문제점 및 주민민원 발생 또한 빈번해지고 있는 추세이다. (중략)

Non-point source pollution is the emission source that unspecifically releases pollutants to water system from unspecific places such as cities, agricultural lands, mountains, and construction sites and its discharge path is not easily identified. Also, it is difficult to design and manage the reduction facilities for the emission quantity is primarily affected from weather conditions like rainfall. Since 2006, the significance of non-point source pollution reduction has been grown in Republic of Korea and this reinforces needs for the installation of reduction facilities. However, because the standards for the installation details and reduction efficiency are not clarified by law, people are preferring technologies that do not require particular maintenance and high expenses. The purpose of this study is to examine and maintain the efficiency of non-point source pollutants reduction facility which uses expended polypropylene as a media. The higher the depth of the media, the less range of variations in the reduction efficiency was observed and the final efficiency was also increased. When the media depth was 60 cm, the average reduction efficiency was 94% and 90% where linear velocities were 10 m/hr and 20 m/hr respectively. The results from 180 minutes operation in 10 m/hr and 20 m/hr of linear velocities were slightly different in head loss changes which were caused by media depth variations. The backwash experiments which were conducted in triplicate showed the reduction efficiency decreased as the time went on because of the media clogging. However, it was found that after the backwashing the reduction efficiency was increased as effective as the efficiency of the initial filtration.
