Eutrophication and algal blooms can lead to increase of taste and odor compounds and health problems by cyanobacterial toxins. To cope with these eco-social issues, Ministry of Environment in Korea has been reinforcing the effluent standards of wastewater treatment facilities. As a result, various advanced phosphorus removal processes have been adopted in each wastewater treatment plant nation-widely. However, a lot of existing advanced wastewater treatment processes have been facing the problems of expensive cost in operation and excessive sludge production caused by high dosage of coagulant. In this study, the sedimentation and dissolved air flotation (SeDAF) process integrated with sedimentation and flotation has been developed for enhanced phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment facilities. Design and operating parameters of the SeDAF process with the capacity of 100 ㎥/d were determined, and a demonstration plant has been installed and operated at I wastewater treatment facility (located in Gyeonggi-do) for the verification of field applicability. Several empirical evaluations for the SeDAF process were performed at demonstration-plant scale, and the results showed clearly that T-P and turbidity values of treated water were to satisfy the highest effluent standards below 0.2 mg/L and 2.0 NTU stably for all of operation cases.

Advanced processes such as ozonation or activated carbon filtration (ACF) in water treatment plants have been used in Korea since 1994. At present, seventeen drinking water treatment plants are currently operating. This survey compares the treatment performance of advanced processes in eight plants which have comparable water quality data. The three parameters (DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption) of water quality were selected as an indicator of treatment efficiency. The treatment efficiency of ozonation and ACF processes was found to vary with large deviations in each plant. Treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption by post ozonation ranged from 3 to 11%, 6 to 33%, and 12 to 28% respectively. On the other hand, for ACF, treatment efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$, and $KMnO_4$ consumption ranged from 7 to 38%, 8 to 48%, and 16 to 66% respectively. These large deviations indicate the advanced processes of water treatment plants to be further optimized.

Advanced oxidation of wastewater was studied with a purpose to remove TOC and color by the ozone-assisted Fenton reaction. The optimal conditions were determined by hydrogen peroxide and ozone concentrations. Experimental results indicate that the ozone treatment after Fentons process was found to provide very efficient removal efficiency in the process, avoiding the exclusive ozone treatment. The combined process of ozone in the Fenton oxidation respectively was increased removal efficiences of 10.7％ in comparison with exclusive Fenton oxidation. Also, the treatments of ozone after Fenton's oxidation respectively had increased the removal efficiences of 16.％. As a result, the treatment of ozone after Fentons oxidation had the best removal efficiency of approximately 96％. Removal efficiency of color was significantly increased as mush as 26％ by the advanced Fenton's oxidation in comparison with exclusive Fenton's oxidation. The removal efficiencies in the biological treatment using Bacillus subtilis after Fenton's oxidation and after Fenton's and ozone's oxidation were increased by 14％ and 19％ respectively. Although these combined Bacillus subtilis-assisted Fenton's oxidation was determined to be effective method to treat the dyeing wastewater in an economic point of view, the choice of wastewater treatment can be varied depending on water quality.

Here, as-synthesized $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles were incorporated into the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) lattice to activate sodium percarbonate (SPC) for degradation of methylene blue (MB). The reaction rate constant of $Fe_3O_4@ZIF-8/SPC$ process ($0.0632min^{-1}$) at acidic conditions (pH = 3) was more than six times that of the $Fe_3O_4/SPC$ system ($0.009min^{-1}$). Decreasing the solute concentration, along with increasing SPC concentration and $Fe_3O_4@ZIF-8$ nanocomposite (NC) dosage, favored the catalytic degradation of MB. The $Fe_3O_4@ZIF-8$ NC after fifteen consecutive treatment processes showed the excellent stability with a negligible drop in the efficiency of the system (<10%). The reaction pathway was obtained via GC-MS analysis.

최근 하수처리장의 질소 및 인 방류수 수질기준이 강화되고 슬러지의 해양투기가 금지됨에 따라 기존 표준활성슬러지공법의 고도처리공법으로의 증설 및 새로운 하수슬러지 처리공법에 대한 환경성, 경제성 평가의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 고도처리 및 슬러지 처리공법은 운영 단계뿐만 아니라 건설, 폐기를 포함한 전과정에 걸쳐 환경 전반에 영향을 미치며 경제적 비용을 소모하므로, 본 연구에서는 건설에서부터 폐기까지의 전과정을 고려하여 고도처리공정 및 슬러지 처리 공법의 환경성, 경제성을 평가하고자 한다. 고도처리공법으로 Anaerobic/Anoxic/Oxic ($A_2O$), Bamard Denitrification Phosphate (Bardenpho), Virginia Initiative Plant (VIP), Modified University of Cape Town (MUCT) 공법을, 슬러지 처리공법으로는 매립, 소각, 퇴비화를 선정하였다. 각 공법에 따른 환경성, 경제성 평가를 위하여 International organization for standardization (ISO)에서 제시하는 가이드라인을 따라 전과정평가를 수행하였으며, 전생애비용을 산정 비교하였다. 각 고도처리 공법에 대한 평가 결과, 환경영향 측면에서는 운영 단계에서의 생물학적 처리로 인한 온실가스 배출이, 경제성 측면에서는 운영 단계에서의 전력소모가 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 가장 친환경적인 하수처리 및 슬러지 처리공법은 $A_2O$ 공법과 퇴비화로 환경에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 CAS 공법과 매립에 비해 환경영향을 52% 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 경제적인 측면에서는 가장 많은 비용을 소요하는 CAS 공법과 매립 적용 시에 비해 MUCT 공법과 퇴비화가 전생애비용을 62% 절약할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 고도처리 공법으로의 증설 및 슬러지 처리에 대한 전과정을 고려하여 친환경적이며 경제적인 공법을 선정하기 위해 전과정평가를 수행하고 전생애비용을 산출하여 각 공법을 비교 및 평가하였으며, 전과정평가의 환경성 및 경제성에 중요한 영향인자를 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 방법론을 통하여 환경부하 및 경비 절감을 고려한 고도처리공법의 개보수 공정 및 슬러지 공정 선택이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

A new technology for advanced wastewater treatment was developed using a modified Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) process, named as Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactor (RABC) process that utilizes Bacillus sp., the facultatively anaerobic or activated microaerophilic bacteria on multiple-stage reticular rotating carriers, as a predominant species. The RABC process for a municipal wastewater with relatively low concentrations of organics, nitrogen, and phosphorus showed stable and high removal efficiencies, less than $BOD_5$ 10 mg/L, T-N 15 mg/L, and T-P 1.5 mg/L in final effluent. The performance load of RABC process was shown to be $1.23kg{\cdot}BOD/m^2{\cdot}day$ for the first stage (average $0.31kg{\cdot}BOD/m^2{\cdot}day$ for the total stages) based on both removed BOD and converted disc area corresponding to the reticular one. The sludge produced in the RABC process is characterized by low generation rate (about $0.18kg{\cdot}MLSS/kg{\cdot}BOD$) and excellent settleability. The number ratio of Bacillus ($2.4{\times}10^6CFU/ml$) to heterotrophic bacteria ($3.6{\times}10^7CFU/ml$) inhabiting in the biofilms of the RABC process was 6.7 %, indicating that Bacillus sp. was a predominant species in the biofilms. The RABC process with reticular rotating carriers showed its excellent performance for the advanced wastewater treatment without any offensive odor problem due to organic overloading.

In the industrial wastewater that occupies a large proportion of river pollution, the wastewater generated in textile, leather, and plating industries is hardly decomposable. Though dyeing wastewater has generally been treated using chemical and biological methods, its characteristics cause treatment efficiencies such as chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) to be reduced only in the activated sludge method. Currently, advanced oxidation technology for the treatment of dyeing wastewater is being developed worldwide. Electro-coagulation is highly adapted to industrial wastewater treatment because it has a high removal efficiency and a short processing time regardless of the biodegradable nature of the contaminant. In this study, the effects of the current density and the electrolyte condition on the COD removal efficiency in dyeing wastewater treatment by using electro-coagulation were tested with an aluminum anode and a stainless steel cathode. The results are as follows: (1) When the current density was adjusted to $20A/m^2$, $40A/m^2$, and $60A/m^2$ under the condition without electrolyte, the COD removal efficiency at 60 min was 62.3%, 72.3%, and 81.0%, respectively. (2) The removal efficiency with NaCl addition was 7.9% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities. (3) The removal efficiency with $Na_2SO_4$ addition was 4.7% higher on average than that with non-addition at all current densities.

깨끗하고 안전한 수돗물에 대한 소비자들의 욕구가 커짐에 따라 막, 오존, 활성탄 등 다양한 고도처리공정이 정수장에 도입되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고도처리공정의 도입으로 인한 관로 내 잔류염소 감소 및 THM 생성특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 오존, 활성탄, 오존/GAC 공정별 DOC 제거특성과 bottle test를 이용한 잔류염소 감소 및 THM 생성특성을 평가하였다. 모든 처리공정에서 DOC 제거율보다 $UV_{254}$ 유발물질의 제거율이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 오존공정에 의한 DOC 제거율은 기존 모래여과수 대비 약 4%에 불과하였으나, $UV_{254}$는 약 17%로 DOC 제거율보다 훨씬 더 큰 차이를 보였는데, 이는 오존에 의해 소수성 유기물이 친수성 유기물로 변환되었기 때문이다. 오존/GAC 공정이 유기물 제거에 가장 효과적이었으며, 모래여과, 오존, GAC, 그리고 오존/GAC공정을 거친 처리수의 잔류염소 감소계수는 각각 0.0230, 0.0307, 0.0117 그리고 0.0098 $hr^{-1}$ 나타났으며, 190시간 반응 이후 모래여과수는 THM이 81.8 ${\mu}g/L$ 생성된 반면, 오존, GAC, 그리고 오존/GAC의 처리수는 모래여과수에 비해 각각 6.0, 26.2, 30.3% 적게 생성되었다. 결론적으로 고도처리공정에 의해 관로 내 잔류염소의 지속성이 증대되었으며, THM 생성 또한 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
