질소 및 인 동시제거 공정 중 대표적인 연속회분식반응조(Sequencing Batch reactor: SBR)는 비교적 간편한 운전방법과 저렴한 건설비, 유입수의 부하변동에 큰 영향을 받지 않는 소규모 하수처리에 적합한 공정으로 알려져 있다. 또한 SBR 공정은 기존 활성슬러지 공법에 비해 적은 부지로 많은 양의 폐수를 처리할 수 있고 유입수 수질 및 유량변동에 따라 다양한 운전주기를 변화할 수 있으며, 유기물 제거뿐만 아니라 반응조의 변형에 의해 영양염류의 제거가 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 bench scale SBR 실험을 통하여 질산염의 탈질속도 및 용해성 인의 흡수와 방출속도를 측정하고, SBR 공정의 무산소조건에서 인흡수 및 탈질을 동시에 수행하는 DPB 존재의 가능성을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구결과 무산소조건에서 S-P의 방출과 흡수가 동시에 진행되었으며, 무산소조건에서 S-P의 방출속도는 $0.08{\sim}0.94\;kgS-P/kgMLSS{\cdot}d$, 흡수속도는 $0.012{\sim}0.1\;kgS-P/kgMLSS{\cdot}d$를 나타내었다. 무산소조에서 S-P의 방출 및 흡수가 진행되는 동안 탈질과정도 함께 진행되었으며, 각각의 F/M비에서 탈질속도를 측정한 결과 F/M비 $0.44\;kgCOD/kgMLSS{\cdot}d$에서는 최대 $0.16\;kgNO_3^-N/kgMLSS{\cdot}d$의 탈질속도를 나타내었다. S-P이 방출되지 않는 경우와 방출되는 경우의 비탈질속도를 비교한 결과 S-P이 방출되지 않는 경우의 비탈질속도가 S-P이 방출되는 경우의 비탈질속도보다 높았다. 이렇게 S-P이 방출되는 경우의 비탈질속도가 더 낮은 이유는 무산소 조건에서 탈질과 S-P의 방출 및 흡수가 동시에 일어나는 경우 S-P의 방출에 관여하는 미생물과 탈질에 관여하는 미생물간의 경쟁반응 때문으로 판단된다.응답법의 적용이 가능함을 보였고, 이는 보다 복잡한 관망에서의 천이류 해석이 가능함을 시사한다.$경상도지리지$\lrcorner$(慶尙道地理志)에는 상주가 8곳으로 1/3의 자기 생산을 담당하고 있었다. $\ulcorner$경상도지리지$\lrcorner$(慶尙道地理志)에는 $\ulcorner$세종실록$\lrcorner$(世宗實錄) $\ulcorner$지리지$\lrcorner$(地理志)와 동년대에 동일한 목적으로 찬술되었음을 알 수 있다. $\ulcorner$경상도실록지리지$\lrcorner$(慶尙道實錄地理志)에는 $\ulcorner$세종실록$\lrcorner$(世宗實錄) $\ulcorner$지리지$\lrcorner$(地理志)와의 비교를 해보면 상 중 하품의 통합 9개소가 삭제되어 있고, $\ulcorner$동국여지승람$\lrcorner$(東國與地勝覽) 에서는 자기소와 도기소의 위치가 완전히 삭제되어 있다. 이러한 현상은 첫째, 15세기 중엽 경제적 태평과 함께 백자의 수요 생산이 증가하자 군신의 변별(辨別)과 사치를 이유로 강력하게 규제하여 백자의 확대와 발전에 걸림돌이 되었다. 둘째, 동기(銅器)의 대체품으로 자기를 만들어 충당해야할 강제성 당위성 상실로 인한 자기수요 감소를 초래하였을 것으로 사료된다. 셋째, 경기도 광주에서 백자관요가 운영되었으므로 지방인 상주지역에도 더 이상 백자를 조달받을 필요가 없이, 일반 지방관아와 서민들의 일상용기 생산으로 전락하여 소규모화 되었을 것이라고 사료된다.장 운동기능을 향상시키는 유효성분의 보강 등이 필요하다는 점도 알 수 있었다.더불어 산화물질 해독에 관여하는 다른 유전자

Nitrate is one of common contaminants frequently found in the bank filtrate. Biological autotrophic denitrification into permeable reactive barrier(PRB) system to reduce nitrate concentration in bank filtrate was implanted. The objectives of research are to investigate effect of inoculation, to evaluate alternative alkalinity sources, and to determine effect of hydraulic characteristics, such as retention time, flow rate on the performance of semi-pilot PRB system. Semi-pilot scale biological PRB system was installed using elemental sulfur and limestone/oyster shell as reactive materials near Nakdong River in Kyoungnam province, Korea. Nitrate concentration in bank filtrate was reduced by indigenous microorganisms in oyster shell as welt as by inoculating microorganisms isolated from the sludge of an anaerobic digester in a wastewater treatment plant. Oyster shell as well as limestone can be used as an alkalinity source. However, oyster shell resulted in suspended solids of effluent. As the flow rate in the system increased from 66 to 132 mL/min and accordingly the residence time decreased from 15 to 7.5 hours, nitrate concentration in effluent increased and nitrate removal efficiencies decreased from 75 to 58% at the fixed thickness of 80 cm of PRB.

This study was initiated to evaluate the effect of HRT(hydraulic retention time) on removal efficiencies of organic matter (C), nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) in municipal wastewater for suspenced-growth processes(MLE; Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) and hybrid process(Modified-Dephanox). M-Dephanox process was designed to improve the performance of Dephanox process on denitrification efficiency. As the results, removal efficiencies of C, N and P in M-Dephanox process, which is hybrid process, were higher than those in MLE, which is suspended-growth process. Especially, nitrification inhibition of MLE was observed more severely than M-Dephanox as hydraulic retention time was reduced from 6 hr to 3.5 hr. Nitrification in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox, at short HRT, was so excellent that ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency in nitrification reactors of M-Dephanox was about 92% at 1.59 hr of HRT of nitrification reactors, however, nitrification in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox was affected severely by organic matter entering to nitrification reactors from downstream settler. It was observed that reducing of HRT in whole process resulted from reducing of HRT in nitrification reactors on M-Dephanox.

To compare the denitrification efficiency, this study used molasses and methanol were used as external carbon sources. Specific experimental conditions were classified according to C/N ratio conditions. The batch test showed that the denitrification efficiency increased as C/N ratios of molasses and methanol rose. The most suitable C/N ratio of molasses turned out 4:1 considering the concentration of the residue chemical oxygen demand (COD) and the denitrification efficiency, which was 91.4%. Specific denitrification rate (SDNR) drawn as a kinetic factor demonstrated that molasses and methanol showed similar SDNR values as C/N ratios of molasses and methanol increased. Under the condition of C/N ratio 4:1, 0.0292 g $NO_3{^-}-N$ removal/g mixed liquor volatile suspended solid (MLVSS)/day (molasses), 0.0299 g $NO_3{^-}-N$ removal/g MLVSS/day (methanol) were found. Sludge adapted to molasses showed that Bacterium Pseudomonas sp. and Bergeylla sp. dominated through an analysis of microbial community. In addition, some bacteria were high convergences than the variety of microbial community. Accordingly, it was assumed that molasses focus on growing microorganisms specialized in denitrification and applied as a replaceable external carbon source that can enhance denitrification performance.

Removal of nitrogen compound under nitrification related with denitrification by biofilm which developed on the porous media was investigated. With the investigation of $NH_4-N$ nitrification and autotrophic denitrification supplied with sulfur media as electron donor, conclusions were retrieved as follows. When $F/M_N$ ratio of $NH_4-N$ was increased from $0.0062-0.034gNH_4-N/g\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$ by the change of influent concentration and HRT the nitrification rate decreased as the increase of loading rate. Also under the same conditions of $F/M_N$ ratio, the alkalinity consumption rate of operation was higher at 8 hours of HRT than at 6 hours of HRT. Accordingly the influent loading rate variation by detention time with influent flow influenced more on the nitrification efficiency than the influent loading rate variation by the influent concentration did. Denitrification rate with various EBCT(Empty Bed Contact Time) showed average 25% at 8.4hrs of EBCT but sharply decreased average 5% at 4.6hrs of EBCT, so the operation would be more effective at above 8.4hrs of EBCT. Also denitrification rate was known to be adversely increased as $NO_3-N$ loading rate per unit volume of sulfur-media was decreased within the range of $0.5{\sim}2.0kgNO_3-N/m^3{\cdot}day$.

The independent anoxic reactor was introduced in biological aerated filters as the regulation of water quality requirement, especially total nitrogen, had been strengthened. The process studied in this work was upflow $Biobead^{(R)}$ process which was used commercial invented for removal of organic materials and nitrification. For the purpose of evaluating the independent anoxic reactor, PCR-DGGE, of the molecular biological methods, was performed. Two types of nitrite reductase genes were selected. One is nirS represented cytocrome $cd_1$ nitrite reductase gene and the other is nirK represented Cu-containing nitrite reductase gene. Denitrifier community in the independent anoxic reactor was analyzed with PCR-DGGE using these two denitrifying functional genes. As the result of the PCR, only nirS gene was detected between nirS and nirK. With the result of the DGGE, specific bands became strong, as the operating days were longer, nitrate loading rate was increased. otherwise those of the initial activated sludge showed various bands. In the consequence of the sequence of DGGE bands, various denitrifiers were sequenced in the initial activated sludge, while specific denitrifiers like alcaligenes faecalis were predominant in the anoxic reactor. Consequently, introduction of the independent anoxic reactor made it possible to achieve 96% denitrification efficiency, and was proper for the modification of BAF process.

This study was made to investigate the effect of pesticides on microflora to nitrogen metabolism, nitrification and nitrogen fixing activity in the submerged soil. The results are summarized as follows; Pesticides treatment leaded to the inhibition of $NH_4{^-}$-oxdizers, $NO_3{^-}$-reducer, and denitrifying bacteria population. $NO_2{^-}$-oxdizers were inhibited by cabamate compounds, carbofuran and MIPC. Simetryne seemed to stimulate the denitrifying bacteria at 60 days after incubation. Generally, formation of $NO_2{^-}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ tended to decrease by pesticides application. Pesticides application stimulated Azotobacter and Clostridia populations, while simetryne inhibited Athiorhodaceae and Thiorhodaceae. However acephate seemed to be stimulatory to blue-geen algae. $C_2H_2$-reducing activity by acephate was clearly appeared. The change of $C_2H_2$-reducing activity did not seems to be affected by pesticides application.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of sludge characteristics according to the changes of influent sewage flowrate in the advanced wastewater treatment processes including MBR, SBR, and $A_2O$. The ratio of the actual sewage flowrate to the design flowrate is decreased from 100% to 70, 40%, and 10%, and the specific denitrification rate and ammonia oxidation (nitrification) rate was measured. The specific nitrification rate of the sludge collected from the aeration tank of each process was measured at a similar value ($0.10gNH_4/gMLVSS/day$) in all three process under the condition of 100% of sewage flowrate. It has tended to decrease significantly as the sewage flowrate decreased from 70% to 40%. The specific denitrification rate was also decreased by ~50% as the sewage flowrate decreased. However, considering the total nitrogen concentration in the influent and the microbial concentration in the reactor, the changes in kinetic parameter did not affect overall nitrogen removal. Therefore, it can be concluded that stable nitrogen removal will be possible under low influent flowrate condition if the MLVSS concentration is kept high.

The applicability of a well-type autotrophic sulfur-oxidizing reactive barrier (L $\times$ W $\times$ D = $3m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$) as a long-term treatment option for nitrate removal in groundwater was evaluated. Pilot-scale (L $\times$ W $\times$ D = $8m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$) flow-tank experiments were conducted to examine remedial efficacy of the well-type reactive barrier. A total of 80 kg sulfur granules as an electron donor and Thiobacillus denitrificans as an active bacterial species were prepared. Thiobacillus denitrificans was successfully colonized on the surface of the sulfur granules and the microflora transformed nitrate with removal efficiency of ~12% (0.07 mM) for 11 days, ~24% (1.3 mM) for 18 days, ~45% (2.4 mM) for 32 days, and ~52% (2.8 mM) for 60 days. Sulfur granules attached to Thiobacillus denitrificans were used to construct the well-type reactive barrier comprising three discrete barriers installed at 1-m interval downstream. Average initial nitrate concentrations were 181 mg/L for the first 28 days and 281 mg/L for the next 14 days. For the 181 mg/L (2.9 mM) plume, nitrate concentrations decreased by ~2% (0.06 mM), ~9% (0.27 mM), and ~15% (0.44 mM) after $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, and $3^{rd}$ barriers, respectively. For the 281 mg/L (4.5 mM) plume, nitrate concentrations decreased by ~1% (0.02 mM), ~6% (0.27 mM), and ~8% (0.37 mM) after $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, and $3^{rd}$ barriers, respectively. Nitrate plume was flowed through the flow-tank for 49 days by supplying $1.24\;m^3/d$ of nitrate solution. During nitrate treatment, flow velocity (0.44 m/d), pH (6.7 to 8.3), and DO (0.9~2.8 mg/L) showed little variations. Incomplete destruction of nitrate plume was attributed to the lack of retention time, rarely transverse dispersion, and inhibiting the activity of denitrification enzymes caused by relatively high DO concentrations. For field applications, it should be considered increments of retention time, modification of well placements, and intrinsic DO concentration.
