In situ chemical oxidations (ISCO) are technologies for destruction of many contaminants in soil and groundwater, and persulfate has been recently studied as an alternative ISCO oxidant. Trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) were chosen for target organic compounds. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the influence of initial pH (3, 6, 9, 12), oxidant concentrations (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 M), and contaminants concentrations (10, 30, 50, 70, 100 mg/L) on TCE/PCE degradation by persulfate oxidation. The maximum TCE/PCE degradation occurred at pH 3, and the removal efficiencies with this pH condition were 93.2 and 89.3%, respectively. The minimum TCE/PCE degradation occurred at pH 12, and the removal efficiencies were 55.0 and 31.2%, respectively. This indicated that degradation of TCE/PCE decreased with increasing the initial pH of solution. Degradation of TCE/PCE increased with increasing the concentration of persulfate and with decreasing the concentration of contaminants (TCE/PCE). The optimum conditions for TCE/PCE degradation were pH 3, 0.5 M of persulfate solution, and 10 mg/L of contaminant concentration. At these conditions, the first-order rate constants ($k_{obs}$) for TCE and PCE were 1.04 and 1.31 $h^{-1}$, respectively.

Nonpoint source pollution characteristics of recreation park was investigated. Runoff ratio of recreation park ranged 23-57%, which was lower than other urban area since impervious area was less than 37%. The average BOD, COD, TOC, SS, T-N, T-P, were 14.09, 32.86, 12.19, 121.51, 7.78 and 0.72 mg/L, respectively. First flush of recreation park was analyzed by normalized cumulative load - volume curve and mass first flush ratio(MFFn), MFF10 for BOD, COD, SS, T-P, T-N, TOC were 2.90, 1.59, 2.15, 2.74, 2.60, and 1.59, respectively. Observed data showed that 62% of pollutant could be removed by storaging 5 mm rainfall-runoff and even 3 mm depth could store up to 50% of pollutant in runoff.

Tetrafluoromethane($CF_4$) has been used as etching and chamber cleaning gases for semiconductor manufacturing processes. These gases need to be removed efficiently because of their strong absorption of infrared radiation and long atmospheric lifetime which causes the global warming effect. We have developed a waterjet gliding arc plasma system in which plasma is combined with waterjet and investigated optimum operating conditions for efficient $CF_4$ destruction through enlarging discharge region and producing large amount of OH radicals. The operating conditions are waterjet flow rate, initial $CF_4$ concentration, total gas flow rate, specific energy input. Through the parametric studies, the highest $CF_4$ destruction of 97% was achieved at 2.2% $CF_4$, 7.2 kJ/L SEI, 9 L/min total gas flow rate and 25.5 mL/min waterjet flow rate.

Batch and column tests were performed to develop the design factors for permeable reactive barriers(PRBs) against the contaminated groundwater with ammonium from unsanitary landfill. Clinoptilolite, one of natural zeolites having excellent cation exchange capacity(CEC), was chosen as the reactive material. In batch test, the reactivity of clinoptilolite to ammonium was examined by varying the initial concentration of ammonium and the particle size of clinoptilolites. One gram of clinoptilolite showed removal efficiency about 80% against the ammonium except in very high initial concentration of 80 ppm, but the effect of particle size of clinoptilolite was not noticeable. Permeability test was performed for the specimens made of clinoptilolite and Jumunjin sand with 20 : 80 weight ratio. Flexible wall permeameter was employed far permeability test. The specimen containing the washed 0.42-0.85mm clinoptilolite showed the highest permeability of about $10^{-3}$/s. In column test, the reactivity of mixed materials against ammonium in flowing condition was examined with the landfill leachate. With the test results, clinoptilolite was found to be a suitable material for PRBs against the contaminated groundwater with ammonium.

In this study, we conducted water-quality analysis of wastewater and in-situ flow measurement using automatic flow rate measuring instrument to identify characteristics of wastewater in urban areas, and collected samples in gutter fur storm water drain, rainfall bucket, and aqueduct of pipe from roof, and outfalls of basins to examine the contribution by pollution origins such as base wastewater, atmospheric washing, runoff by roof surface, runoff by road surface, erosion of sewer sediment. In the result, the concentration of pollutants reached peak in the beginning of rainfall due to first flush, was 3 to 10 times higher than average concentration of dry period, and was lower than that of dry period due to dilution of storm water. In the analysis of the contribution by pollution origins, the ratio of load by sewer sediment resuspension to the total pollution load was 54.6% fer COD, and 73.3% fur SS. Accordingly, we can reduce the total pollutant load by periodical dredging and washing of sewer sediment, and control the loadings by overflow of combined sewer overflows.

밭에서의 비점오염은 경사에 따른 토양유실과 높은 비료 시용량으로 부하가 상대적으로 높아 이에 대한 관리의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 4개의 강우 사상에 대하여 경사지 밭에서 유출되는 오염물질의 농도와 특성을 파악하여 밭에서의 비점오염 관리의 기초 자료로 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구의 조사 지구는 충청북도 청주시 상당구 미원면 옥화리에 위치한 경사지 밭으로 면적은 0.77 ha이며, 중앙에 위치한 배수로 말단에 삼각위어를 설치하여 4개의 강우사상에 대해 모니터링을 수행하였다. 연구결과 강우사상의 강우량은 17.0~33.6 mm의 범위로 나타났으며, 평균 강우강도는 1.0~4.8 mm/h로 나타났다. 유출률은 3.1~26.8 %로 나타났는데, 선행강우가 높은 강우사상에서 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 오염물질 유량가중평균농도(Event Mean Concentration; EMC)는 TN 5.6~13.1 mg/L(평균 10.8 mg/L), $NO_3-N$ 4.1~12.9 mg/L(평균 9.3 mg/L), TP 0.46~1.34 mg/L(평균 0.8 mg/L), $PO_4-P$ 0.3~0.8 mg/L(평균 0.5 mg/L), SS 1,099~6,547 mg/L(평균 3,438 mg/L) 및 COD 27.1~38.6 mg/L(평균 33.1 mg/L)의 범위를 보였다. TN과 TP의 유량가중평균농도 평균값은 강우시 농촌유역 유출수의 유량가중평균농도인 3.1, 0.3 mg/L보다 높게 나타나 밭으로부터의 유출수가 유역 유출수의 농도를 높이는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 TN 농도는 시비의 영향을 받고, TP 농도는 강우강도와 작물 부분 토양 피복도의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. SS 농도는 평균 강우강도에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 강우에 따른 오염물질 농도변화를 보면 TN의 농도는 강우 초기에 높게 나타났으며, 유량이 증가함에 따라 감소하고, 유량이 감소하면서 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. TP, SS 및 COD의 농도는 유량이 증가함에 따라 증가하고, 유량이 감소하면서 다시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, SS의 경우 최대농도가 첨두유량 앞에서 나타나는 초기 세척현상(First flush)을 보였다. 향후 보다 많은 강우사상을 대상으로 밭 유출수의 농도 및 오염부하에 대한 추가적인 모니터링을 통해 오염물질의 유출특성을 파악해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 사과재배지에서 발생하는 비점오염물질 유출 및 수질특성을 살펴보고자 2014년 5월부터 9월까지의 총 15회의 강우사상에 대해 유출특성을 분석하고 오염물질별 유량가중평균농도(Event Mean Concentration, EMC) 및 오염부하를 산정하였다. 모니터링 기간동안 3.2~80.3 mm의 강우가 발생하였으며, 조사된 총 15회의 event 중 3회 유출이 발생하였다. 강우강도는 0.39~4.46 mm/hr의 범위로 나타났으며, 선행무강우일수는 0.3~20.1일, 총 유출량은 $2.7{\sim}100.8m^3$, 유출율은 0.02~0.3의 범위로 나타났다. 강우모니터링 결과, EMC는 TOC 7.1~18.7 mg/L(평균 12.0 mg/L), BOD 4.3~7.8 mg/L(평균 5.9 mg/L), COD 16.9~30.2 mg/L(평균 22.3 mg/L), SS 35.6~738.1 mg/L(평균 293.1 mg/L), T-N 2.342~11.043 mg/L(평균 6.563 mg/L) 그리고 T-P 1.563~2.563 mg/L(평균 1.961 mg/L)의 범위로 나타났으며, 각 강우사상에 대한 단위면적당 오염부하는 TOC 0.12~2.4 kg/ha, $BOD_5$ 0.03~1.0kg/ha, $COD_{Mn}$ 0.12~7.1 kg/ha, SS 0.34~173 kg/ha, T-N 0.068~1.478 kg/ha, T-P 0.011~0.601 kg/ha의 범위로 산정되었다. 사과재배지의 경우 대부분 투수지역으로 강우 초기에 지하로 침투하는 양이 많기 때문에 초기세척효과는 크게 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 대체적으로 30 mm 이하의 강우에서는 유출이 발생하지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 하지만, 사과재배지에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 유출특성은 기상조건 및 영농활동 조건등에 따라 상이하게 나타나기 때문에 강우시 비점오염원 유출특성을 보다 정량적으로 파악하기 위해서는 체계적이고 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this study is to obtain adequate intercepting flow during wet weather conditions in combined sewer system. Two study sites are selected under considering different population density, one is developed area with heavy urbanization. Another is recently developing area. In the analysis of field investigation, SS was most significant in initial flushing effects compared with other factors and showed the result with the order of COD, TP, TN. As compared with event mean concentration(EMC) of runoff, BOD, TN and TP showed high concentrations in wide area with relatively large population density. It is by the reason that much pollution load was discharged to receiving water from urbanized area during wet period. According to results of storm-water modeling, 53% of total COD and 52% of total SS pollution load were discharged to receiving water by overflow than intercepting capacity in middle population density site. Also, in the urbanized area, pollution load was discharged to receiving water by 49% of total COD and 77% of total SS. These results can be applied to setup for pollution load flow(budget) generation, collection, treatment and discharging in order to obtain adequate intercepting flow.

Much of domestic city is served by combined sewer system rather than separate sanitary or storm sewers. During wet weather, when the volume of sanitary sewage and storm water entering the combined sewers exceeds the system capacity, the system is designed to overflow at several designated CSOs. The objective of this research is to have grasp of characteristics of combined sewer runoff and to evaluate efficiently the intercepted volume of CSOs. During the wet weather in first rainfall, SS load at each site H-1, H-2, and H-3 were 600kg/event, 370kg/event, and 289kg/event, SS load at each site in second rainfall were 216kg/event, 113kg/event, and 37.2kg/event. EMCs at each site were 702mg/L, 816mg/L, 861mg/L in first rainfall and 99.9mg/L, 161.9mg/L, 103.6mg/L in second rainfall, respectively. First flush coefficients b at each site were 0.237, 0.166, and 0.151.
