Removal of nitrogen and phosphate in wastewater is concerned to important for the prevention of eutrophication in receiving water and lake. Conventional activated sludge system designed for organics removal can be retrofitted only by modification of aeration basin to maintain anaerobic and aerobic state. Biological nutrient removal processes(BNR) such as Bardenpho, A$^{2}$/O, UCT, VIP were generally used for the treatment of wastewater. However these BNR processes used in large scale WWTP were not suitable in small scale WWTP(i.e., package type WWTP) due to relatively large fluctuation of flow rate and concentration of pollutants. The purpose of this research was to develop the compact, effective and economical package type WWTP for the removals of carbon and nitrogen in small scale wastewater. Intermittently aerated activated sludge system (IADFAS) were investigated for removal of nitrogen in both domestic wastewater, Bardenpho process was also evaluated. Nitrogen removal of IAAS, IADFAS, Bardenpho were 75, 77 and 67%, respectively.

Aeration was found to affect the biological denitrification by Ochrobactrum authropi SY509. Although cell growth was vigorous under 1 vvm of aeration and an agitation speed of 400 rpm in a 3-L jar fermentor, almost no nitrate was removed. Yet under low agitation speeds (100, 200, and 300 rpm), denitrification occurred when the dissolved oxygen was exhausted shortly af-ter the inoculation of the microorganism. Ochrobactrum authropi SY509 was found to express highly active denitrifying enzymes under anaerobic conditions. The microorganism also synthesized denitrifying enzymes under aerobic conditions (1 vvm and 400 rpm), yet their activity was only 60% of the maximum level under anaerobic conditions and the nitrate removal efficiency was merely 15%. However, although the activities of the denitrifying enzymes were inhibited in the presence of oxygen, they were fully recovered when the conditions were switched to anaerobic conditions.

The present work aims to use a biofilter technology(aerated submerged filters) for the aerobic transformation at laboratory-scale of olive washing water(OWW) generated in the first steps of olive oil processing, as well as the genetic profiling and identification to the species level of the bacteria involved in the formation of the biofilm, by means of TGGE. Chemical parameters, such as biological oxygen demand at five days($BOD_5$) and chemical oxygen demand(COD), decreased markedly(up to 90 and 85%, respectively) by the biological treatment, and the efficiency of the process was significantly affected by aeration and inlet flow rates. The total polyphenol content of inlet OWW was only moderately reduced(around 50% decrease of the inlet content) after the biofilter treatment, under the conditions tested. Partial 16S rRNA genes were amplified using total DNA extracted from the biofilm and separated by TGGE. Sequences of isolated bands were mostly affiliated to the $\alpha-subclass$ of Proteobacteria, and often branched in the periphery of bacteria] genera commonly present in soil(Rhizobium, Reichenowia, Agrobacterium, and Sphingomonas). The data obtained by the experimentation at laboratory scale provided results that support the suitability of the submerged filter technology for the treatment of olive washing waters with the purpose of its reutilization.

This study was carried out in order to observe how the bay sediment would be changed with microbial treatments and a chemical oxidant like $CaO_2$. The sediment during the treatments was analyzed in terms of pH, ORP, volatile organics content, COD, AVS, T-N, and T-P. With $CaO_2$ treatment, pH was kept over 9.66 and ORP ranged from +4.70~+46.0, which meant an aerobic state meanwhile with the microbial treatment those were worse. In addition the chemical treatment showed better environmental index values than the microbial one: volatile organics content and COD values in the former were 12.9% and 37.9% while those in the latter were 4.5% and 18.7%, respectively. AVS and T-P were 71.1% and 100% versus 56.5% and 85.8%, respectively. However, the microbial treatment was better for T-N(66% higher). On the other hand, both treatment at a time enhanced all the environmental indices but COD meantime pH and ORP values were lower than with the chemical treatment only. Thus additional input of an oxygen generator like $CaO_2$ could improve the environmental state of a bay sediment where the biological treatment is going on.

생물산업 연구단지에서 발생되는 폐수를 처리하기 위해 건설된 폐수처리장의 3차 처리시설로 hybrid 인 공습지 시스템을 적용하여 최종 방류수의 재이용가능성을 평가하였다. 폐수처리를 위한 1차 처리공정은 화학적 처리(약품 응집)이며, 2차 처리공정은 생물학적 처리(표준활성슬러지법)로 구성되어 있다. 3차 처리시설로서 hybrid 인공습지는 자연통풍시스템이 구비된 호기성 인공습지와 혐기/무산소성 인공습지가 순차적으로 연결된 시스템이다. Hybrid 인공습지로 유입되는 2차 생물학적 처리공정의 처리수 농도는 BOD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 평균 농도가 각각 53mg/L, 48mg/L, 34mg/L 및 3mg/L로 나타났으며, hybrid 인공습지에서의 최종방류수의 BOD, SS, T-N 및 T-P의 평균농도는 각각 2.3mg/L, 1.2mg/L, 7.95mg/L 및 0.83mg/L로 나타나 하수처리수의 재이용권고수질기준과 비교할 때 조경용수나 세척용수 등의 용도로 직접 재이용이 가능한 수질이 확보될 수 있었다. Hybrid 인공습지는 반응조를 호기 및 혐기/무산소 조건으로 기능화 함으로서 높은 효율로 오염물질이 제거될 수 있었으며, 이러한 결과로부터 다양한 하수 및 폐수의 3차 처리시설로서 활용이 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 염색폐수의 색도제거 기전을 미생물 floc에의 물리 화학적 흡착과 미생물의 대사에 의한 생물학적 제거의 두 가지로 분류하였다. 색도제거의 반응 조건, 즉 혐기/호기 조건, cosubstrate의 종류와 주입량 등을 회분식 실험에 의해 규명하고, 활성슬러지와 비활성슬러지의 biosorption 실험을 통하여 색도제거 기전을 확인하였다. 염색폐수의 색도는 호기조건과 혐기조건에서 각각 102 ${\Delta}$unit/g MLSS, 123 ${\Delta}$unit/g MLSS가 제거되어 혐기조건에서의 제거율이 높았으며, 유기물은 호기조건에서 82 $mg{\Delta}$COD/gMLSS, 혐기조건에서 75 $mg{\Delta}$COD/gMLSS 제거되어 호기조건에서 제거율이 더 높게 나타났다. Cosubstrate로서 실폐수인 가정하수와 acetate를 이용하여 주입량에 따른 염색폐수의 제거능을 분석한 결과, cosubsrate의 주입에 따라 색도 및 유기물 제거량이 증가함을 확인하였으며 가정하수보다는 acetate가 색도제거에 있어서 더 효율적인 cosubstrate임을 알 수 있었다. 활성슬러지와 멸균된 비활성슬러지를 이용한 색도제거 실험 결과. 비활성슬러지의 색도제거량은 가정하수의 주입에 따라 $20.3{\sim}37.3$ ${\Delta}$unit/g MLSS, 활성슬러지는 $102.0{\sim}159.0$ ${\Delta}$unit/g MLSS로 나타났다. 또한 반응 초기에는 물리 화학적 흡착이 우세하였으나 시간이 지나면서 생물대사 작용에 의한 제거가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, cosubstrate의 주입에 따른 미생물의 대사에 의한 제거분율이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었고, 이는 호흡율 측정결과와도 그 경향이 일치하였다.

5 bed sand filter, applying biological oxidation, was designed and studied on the treatment of water works. Never using any coagulant agent (drugs), which may cause water pollution in pre-treatment of head water, the auther attempt a high rate filtration by the microorganism (nitrofication bacteria) end plant which populate in multi layer sand beds. The result are as follows : In order to evaluate the oxygen effect on filtration, oxygen was injected in aeration tank attached to each filter tank while filtration, and $NH_3$ was tested as a representaiive ingredient. It was found out that the aeration method was more effective, with over 33% of $NH_3$ removal capacity, than the anerobic and this 5 bed filter showed double removal capacity of $NH_3$ by comparing with conventional sand bed (2 stage bed). According to the examination of two kind of head water, pre-treated with coagulant agent and activated carton, the filtration capacity was affected by the polluted condition of head water, resulting that lower value of pollution and slower velocity of filtration showed more efficiency of $NH_3$ removal. In this experiment $NH_3$ content tested in treated water had a fairly good correlation with others.

Pycnogenol (PYC) is believed to have potential as a therapeutic agent against free radical-mediated oxidative stress. It is important, therefore, to understand the interactions between PYC and cellular defenses against oxidative stress. Toward this end, we analyzed the survival rates on the gene expression responses of E. coli sod katG mutants to PYC after pre-treatment of PQ or H$_2$O$_2$-mediated stress under aerobic conditions. We identified SOD induced by PYC, but not HP1 in sod hate mutants. A striking result was the PYC induction of SOD with antioxidant property in single katG mutant cells, particularly MnSOD and CuZnSOD. These inductions were further increased with oxidative stress, while HP1 was not induced in these conditions. The effects of pycnogenol treatment on these cells depend in part on its concentration on the stress response. Protective effects of PYC exposure which affected gene expression in cells were consistent with cell survival rates. Our results demonstrate that pycnogenol may alter the stress response gene expression in a specific manner such as SOXRS because PYC induction of single mutant only worked under increased PQ stress. All together our data indicate that SOD activity is essential for the cellular defense against PQ-mediated oxidative stress, suggesting that PYC may not be effective as an antioxidant in only oxidative stress conditions. On the other hand, it was expected that PYC may play a role as a pro-oxidant and if it is available for use, it should be evaluated carefully.
