In this study, nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission was compared between the operations of two different sequencing batch reactors, conventional sequencing batch reactor (CNVSBR) and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification sequencing batch reactor (SND-SBR), using synthetic wastewater. The CNV-SBR consisted of anoxic (denitrification) and aerobic phases, whereas the SND-SBR consisted of a microaerobic (low dissolved oxygen concentration) phase, which was achieved by intermittent aeration for simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. The CNV-SBR emitted 3.9 mg of $N_2O$-N in the denitrification phase and 1.6 mg of $N_2O$-N in the nitrification phase, resulting in a total emission of 5.5mg from 432mg of $NH_4^+$-N input. In contrast, the SND-SBR emitted 26.2mg of $N_2O$-N under the microaerobic condition, which was about 5 times higher than the emission obtained with the CNV-SBR at the same $NH_4^+$-N input. From the $N_2O$ yield based on $NH_4^+$-N input, the microaerobic condition produced the highest yield (6.1%), followed by the anoxic (0.9%) and aerobic (0.4%) conditions. It is thought that an appropriate dissolved oxygen level is critical for reducing $N_2O$ emission during nitrification and denitrification at wastewater treatment plants.

This study was conducted to find the effect of electron acceptors on the formation of granular sludge by using four different types of electron acceptors. The phosphorous uptake, denitrification, and sulfate reduction in anoxic modes were simultaneously occured because of the presence of the polyphosphate accumultating organism(PAO) that utilize nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptor in the anoxic zone. Denitrirying phosphorous removal bacteria(DPB) was enriched under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic condition with a nitrate as an electron acceptor, and desulfating phosphorous removal bacteria(DSPB) was enriched under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic condition with a sulfate as an electron acceptor. Polyphosphate accumulating organism(PAO) were enriched in the anaerobic/aerobic SBR. PAO took up acetate faster than DPB and DSPB during the aerobic phase. The sludge with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors grew as a granules which possessed high activity and good settleability. In the anaerobic/aerobic modes, typical floccular growth was observed. In the result of bench-scale experiment, simultaneous reactions of phosphorus uptake, denitrification and sulfate reduction were observed under anoxic condition with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors. These results demonstrated that the anaerobic/anoxic modes with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors played an important role in the formation of the sludge granulation.

본 연구는 TNT 오염토양을 콤포스팅과 슬러리생물상으로 처리 후 형광미생물을 이용하여 독성을 평가하고자 실시되었으며, 운전기간은 각각 45일과 200일이었다. 콤포스팅 처리 후 C/N비 조절용으로 아세톤을 첨가한 경우의 GL값은 40으로 글루코오스를 첨가한 경우(GL 80)보다 낮아 독성이 더 많이 제거되었다. 혐기성, 혐기성/호기성, 그리고 호기성 조건의 슬러리생물상으로 처리 후 GL값은 각각 6, 8, 4로 나타나 독성이 거의 없는 수준까지 크게 감소하였다. GL값과 S. typhimurium 수의 상관도는 1차식으로 표현이 가능하였으며, 생물학적 처리에 따른 미생물독성과 돌연변이성 변화는 비교적 높은 상관도 (r > 0.8890)를 나타내었다.

Sequencing Batch Reactor(SBR) experiments for organics and nutrients removal have been conducted to find an optimum anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic cycling time and evaluate the applicability of oxidation-reduction potential(ORP) as a process control parameter. In this study, a 61 bench-scale plant was used and fed with night-soil wastewater in K city which contained TCODcr : 10, 680 mg/l, TBm : 6, 893 mg/l, $NH_4^+-N$ : 1, 609 mg/l, $PO_4^{3-}-P$ : 602 mg/l on average. The cycling time In SBRs was adjusted at 12 hours and 24 hours, and then certainly included anaerobic, aerobic and inoxic conditions. Also, for each cycling time, we performed 3 series of experiment simultaneously which was set up 10 days, 20 days and 30 days as SRT From the experimental results, the optimum cycling time for biological nutrient removal with nlght-soil wastewater was respctively 3hrs, 5hrs, 3hrs(anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic), Nitrogen removal efficiency was 77.9%, 77.9%, 81.7% for each SRT, respectively. When external carbon source was fed in the anoxic phase, ORP-bending point indicating nitrate break point appeared clearly and nitrogen removal efficiency increased as 96.5%, 97.1%, 98.9%. Phosphate removal efficiency was 59.8%, 64.571, 68.6% for each SRT. Also, we finded the applicability of ORP as a process control parameter in SBRs.

Sources of organic waste materials for aerobic and/or anaerobic degradation, or for composting of solid wastes in Germany were estimated. The basic microbiology and the energetics of these processes were compared with special emphasis on anaerobic degradation, for which a general degradation scheme of carbohydrates is presented. Advantages of anaerobic over aerobic treatment processes are pointed out and conditions for maintaining a highly stable anaerobic process as well as producing a sanitized, hygienic product are discussed. Reactor systems suitable for efficient treatment of wastes with a high or low proportion of suspended solids are principally compared and results of laboratory studies on the degradation of several wastes and animal manures summarized. Finally, a piggery slurry treatment factory for an ultimate slurry processing to obtain a dry fertilizer and a harmless, disposable liquid, as it is in operation in Helmond/Holland, is presented and preliminary process data are presented.

무산소 조건에서의 인섭취를 이용한 질소, 인 화합물의 동시 제거 가능성을 연속회분식반응기(SBR)를 사용하여 고찰하였다. 혐기-호기상의 AO SBR 반응기에 점차적으로 무산소상을 도입함으로써 질산염을 전자수용체로 사용하여 탈질이 가능한 인섭취 미생물들(DPAOs)을 다량으로 축적하였다.(혐기-호기-무산소-호기상의 $(AO)_2$ SBR). 무산소상과 호기상에서의 인섭취율을 비교해 보았을 때, 전체 인제거 미생물 내에서 DPAOs의 비율이 약 10%에서 64%까지 증가하였다. $(AO)_2$ SBR은 안정된 질소, 인제거 성능을 보였으며, 유기물질, 질소, 인 화합물의 제거율은 각각 92%, 88%, 100%였다. $(AO)_2$ SBR의 운전결과와 회분식 실험으로 부터 아질산염은 무산소상에서의 인제거 반응에 어떠한 악영향도 미치지 않으며, 오히려 질산염과 함께 전자 수용체로 사용되어짐을 알 수 있었다.

이 연구는 EBPR(enhance biological phosphorus removal)의 혐기조건, 호기/무산소 조건 사이의 상호작용을 알아보고 인의 제거 속도와 인 제거에 미치는 영향인자들을 Batch-test로 조사하였다. 실험결과 무산소단계에서 인의 흡수율은 호기 단계보다 50% 정도 낮았고, 인 방출과 인 흡수의 상관관계는 다른 논문들에 비하여 낮았으며, 계수 b는 높았다. Batch-test의 측정 결과 다른 논문들에 비하여 인 방출과 인 흡수의 상관관계$(R^2=0.557)$는 낮았고 계수b (b=8.4049)는 높았다. 또한, 하수에서 인의 중요한 결합 파트너는 Ca, $Mg^{2+}$, Al, Fe 그리고 $K^+$인데 이 실험 결과 칼륨, 마그네슘 그리고 암모니움은 인과 함께 증감함으로써 인의 방출과 흡수에 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 혐기 단계에서 0.2 mol $K^+Ion$ / mol $PO_4-P$ Ion과 0.21 mol $Mg^{2+}Ion$ / mol $PO_4-P$ ion이 측정되어 인에 대한 칼륨 및 마그네슘의 비율은 1 : 5 정도임을 알 수 있었다.

This study was performed to define the physicochemical characteristics of food waste and food wastewater, and to find the effect of moisture content variation and salinity variation on aerobic composting for food wastes. In moisture content variation experiment, the samples of 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 and 24 were prepared by the moisture content of 83.8%, 70.9%, 64.8% and 45.1%, respectively. In salinity variation experiment, the samples of 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 and 3-4 were prepared by the salinity of 0.99%, 1. 69%, 1.75% and 2.34%, respectively. In both experiments, aerobic composting reactors were operated by the mode which was composed of half an hour's stirring and 2 hour's aeration per day, for 45 days. The followings are the conclusions that were derived from this study. 1. In the study of physicochemical characteristics of food waste and food wastewater, the values of pH were 4.19 and 3.96, the values of salinity were 0.91% and 1.17%, and the values of conductivity were 7.6 mS/cm and 18.2 mS/cm, respectively. 2. In food waste, the moisture content was 60.3%, organic compound content was 96.1%, total carbon was 48.0%, total nitrogen was 1.5%(therefore, C/N ratio was 32), and the concentration of total phosphorus was 1.34 mg/kg. 3. The time of temperature ascending was delayed, the highest temperature was lowered, the duration period of high temperature was shortened by the increasing of moisture content. In the higher moisture content, anaerobic condition was formed, bad smell was released, insects were gathered and multiplicated, and the reaction rate of composting was reduced. 4. In moisture content experiment, C/N ratios were changed from the range of 31.2-34.8 at the beginning phase to that of 20.4-28.4 at the last phase. 5. In salinity experiment, the reduction rate of volume was increased(40.3%) when the salinity was decreased(0.99%). Also, the reduction rate of mass was increased(51.8%) when the salinity was decreased(0.99%). This fact denotes that salinity hinders the process of composting. 6. the concentrations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus were increased from 0.74% to 1.10%, and from 0.82 mg/kg to 3.44 mg/kg, respectively when the salinity was decreased from 2.34% to 0.99%.

세포의 다당류 xanthan을 생산하기 위하여 호기성 박테리아 X. campestris를 9 L 삼상유동층 생물반응기에서 연속적으로 배양하였다. 고점도 배양액에서 공기 기포를 분쇄하기 위하여 직경 8 mm 유리 유동입자를 사용하였다. 반응기 희석률을 증가시킴에 따라 세포 단위질량 당 xanthan 생성속도 및 생성된 xanthan의 분자량은 증가하였다. 산소공급제한이 발생하지 않을 경우 연속발효에서의 xanthan 비생성속도는 회분식 발효에서 제안된 상관식의 예측결과 보다 상당히 높은 값을 보였다.
