Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) is a cyanobacterium species that can form harmful algal blooms in freshwater bodies worldwide. The use of Artemisia asiatica extracts to control M. aeruginosa inhibition will be environmentally friendly and promising. Artemisia asiatica extracts removed successfully upto 88% of M. aeruginosa pH 8 at $25^{\circ}C$ of temperature. These results was indicated that the amount of 2.24 g/L Artemisia asiatica extracts was removed 1g dryweight/L of M. aeruginosa. The kinetic data showed substrate inhibition kinetics and maximum growth rate was obtained when the M. aeruginosa was grown in medium containing 2.5 g/L of initial concentration of Artemisia asiatica extracts. In the various growth control models, Luong model showed the highest correlation coefficient of 0.9916. Therefore, the Luong model was the most suitable control model for the growth control of M. aruginosa using Artemisia asiatica extracts. In conclusion, the growth control of M. aruginosa using Artemisia asiatica extracts can be applied in the field without controlling the temperature and pH of rivers and streams, and it is possible to control the growth of M. aruginosa efficiently in a short time. The natural extract, Artemisia asiatica extracts, can be a promising inhibition due to its high efficiency and low dose requirements.

부영양화된 연못에서 규산질다공체(CelICaSi)와 미생물응집제를 이용한 녹조제어의 효과를 조사하였다. 녹조 발생 남조류인 Microcystis aeruginosa에 대한 응집능이 우수한 S-2 균주가 생산한 미생물응집제를 선정하여 현장의 조류응집에 적용하였다. 초기의 인산염농도는 대조구에서 $131\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$를 기록하였음에 비해서, CelICaSi가 첨가된 3개의 처리구에서는 $1-14\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$를 기록하며 크게 감소하였다. 엽록소$-\alpha$ 농도는 현장에 설치한 en-closure에서 초기에 $215\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$ 이었으나 CellCaSi $(1g\ell^{-1}$, 미생물응집제 $(2ml\ell^{-1})$, 보조응집제 $(1g\ell^{-1})$, 염화제이철 $(2mg\;Fe\ell^{-1})$을 함께 처리한 처리구에서 $59\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$로 가장 많이 감소하였다. 실험용 쥐 및 금붕어를 이용한 독성실험에서 녹조제거에 이용되는 성분들과 미생물응집제에 대한 독성은 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, CellCaSi와 미생물응집제는 인 제거 및 엽록소-$\alpha$ 농도 감소에 의한 녹조제거에 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.

하천형 저수지인 팔당호의 건기시 수질을 모의하기 위하여 단순 물질수지 모델을 개발하였다. 대상 물질은 총인 (TP), 클로로필${\alpha}$ ($Chl.{\alpha}$), 5일 생물학적 산소 요구량 (BOD) 화학적 산소요구량 (COD)이었다. 모델은 지난 20년간의 실측치를 잘 재현하였으며 유기물질의 성인을 밝히는데 이용될 수 있었다. 모델을 통하여 분석한 결과, 팔당호에서 인에 대한 조류의 이용성을 결정하는 임계 수리부하는 약 $1.5m\;d^{-1}$로 나타났다. 팔당호의 $Chl.{\alpha}$, COD, BOD 농도는 임계부하보다 작은 수리부하의 조건에서 생산과 호흡 및 침전과 같은 조류의 변화에 민감하게 반응하였다. 최근 유기오염 저감을 위한 중앙정부와 지방정부의 강도 높은 노력에도 불구하고 팔당호의 수질은 크게 개선되지 않았으며 오히려 COD 농도는 증가하였다. 모델 해석을 통하여 이는 조류 생산량의 증가와 아울러 비점오염원 등에서 외래성 부하가 증가하였기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 특히 2000~2007년 기간의 조류 기원성 유기물 농도는 전체 유기물 농도의 절반에 해당하는 것으로 추정되었으며, 이는 1988~1994년 기간에 비하여 2.5배, 1995~1999년 기간에 비하여 1.3배에 달하는 수준이었다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 팔당호의 수질개선을 위해서는 조류 발생을 억제하는 것이 필요함을 시사하는 것이었다.

In this study, the effect of chemically enhanced backwash(CEB) coping with algal(Heterosigma Akashiwo) inflow was evaluated in the seawater desalination pretreatment process using ceramic membrane. In order to confirm the possibility of long-term filtration operation, the recovery rate of transmembrane pressure(TMP) due to the CEB using NaOCl was examined. When the membrane flow rate was 83.3 LMH, the TMP was maintained within 200 kPa for 84 hours in seawater influent. As the algal counts of 30,000 cell/mL were injected into the influent of seawater, however, the TMP rapidly increased and exceed maximum value. Membrane fouling caused by the algae was very poorly recovered by usual physical backwash. The CEB was performed for 30 min(3 min circulation / 27 min immersion) with 300 mg/L of NaOCl. As a result of the CEB application, it was possible to maintain a stable operating of filtration during 10 days and the average recovery rate of TMP by the CEB was 98.1%. It has been confirmed that the CEB using NaOCl is very effective in removal of membrane fouling by algae, resulted in stable membrane filtration for the long-term operation.

For several decades, lactic acid bacterium (Lactobacillus graminis: LAB) has been generally recognized as safe. To develop the pan-environmental bio-control agent, algicidal activity of the live LAB cell and its culture filtrate (CF) was examined against Microcystis aeruginosa. LAB cells perfectly lysed M. aeruginosa within 3 days, while the CF had a less effect than the live cells, approximately 78% inhibition of algal growth during a same culture period. The concentration of microcystin in alone culture of M. aeruginosa was $7.1{\mu}gL^{-1}$, but gradually increased and leach $158.5{\mu}gL^{-1}$ on 10 days. However, LAB cells clearly decreased the microcystin by $10.3{\mu}gL^{-1}$ in the same period, approximately 93.5%. CF of LAB showed a strong algicidal activity over 75% between pH 2-7, 91.3% by the treatment of proteinase K, 87.8% by below 3 kDa in particle size, and 75.3% by heat treatment, respectively. Of five solvents, fractions of CF passed through solvents diethyl ether and ethyl acetate showed an obvious algicidal activity in the algal-lawn test. Among 5 fractions purified by silica-gel TLC plate, two spots showed a most strong removal activity on M. aeruginosa. Another analysis of GC indicate that CF contained six representative fatty acids. Even though most of these substance have been known as an anti-algal substance against M. aeruginosa, oleic acid is the most effective. These results suggested that the culture filtrate or specific substances, like a fatty acids, in comparison with live L. graminis can be a successful and eco-friendly agent to control Microcystis bloom.

부영양화로 인한 조류의 과도한 번식은 하천과 호수의 수질에 심각한 문제를 야기하고 있다. 따라서 하천과 호수의 수질 오염 방지를 위해서는 물리화학적 또는 생물학적 처리를 통해 효과적인 조류 제거가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 전기부상과 혐기성 수소 발효 공정의 연계를 통해 효과적인 조류 제거와 에너지를 생산하고자 하였다. Chlorophyll a를 기준으로 전기부상에 의한 조류 제거효율은 전류 증가에 따라 증가하였으며 최대 95.9%로 나타났다. 제거된 조류로부터 에너지를 회수하기 위하여 혐기성 수소 발효 타당성을 조사하였다. 조류와 초음파로 전처리를 수행한 조류의 최종 수소 수율은 각각 17.3및 61.1ml $H_2/g$ dcw(dry cell weight)로 나타났다. 조류의 초음파 전처리는 가수분해 속도를 증가시켜 최대 수소 수율을 3.4배 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract Spirulina platensis was grown in SWlUe waste to reduce inorganic compowlds and simultaneously produce feed resources. Spirulina platensis prefers nitrogenous compounds in Ibe order: $NH_4^{+}-N>NO_3^{-}-N>simple-N$ such as urea and simple amino acids. It even consumes $NH_4^{+}-N$ first when urea or nitrate are present. Therefore, the content of residual $NH_4^{+}-N$ in Spimlina platensis cultures can be determined by the relative extent of the following processes: (i) algal uptake and assimilation; (ii) ammonia stripping; and (iii) decomposition of urea to NH;-N by urease-positive bacteria. The removal rates of total nitrogen ffild total phosphorus were estimated as an indicator of the treatment effIciency. It was found that Spirulina platensis was able to reduce 70-93% of $P_4^{3-}-P$, 67-93% of inorganic nitrogen, 80-90% of COD, and 37-56% of organic nitrogen in various concentrations of swine waste over 12 days of batch cultivation. The removal of inorganic compounds from swine waste was mainly used for cell growth, however, the organic nitrogen removal was not related to cell growlb. A maximum cell density of 1.52 dry-g/l was maintained with a dilution rate of 0.2l/day in continuous cultivation by adding 30% swine waste. The nitrogen and phosphorus removal rates were correlated to the dilution rates. Based on the amino acid profile, the quality of the proteins in the Spirulina platensis grown in the waste was the same as that in a clean culture.ulture.

One of the major sources causing eutrophication and algal blooms of lakes or streams is phosphorus which comes from point and nonpoint pollution sources. HAP (hydroxyapatite) crystallization using granular alkaline materials can achieve the decrease of phosphorus load from wastewater treatment plants and nonpoint pollution control facilities. In order to induce HAP crystal formation, continuous supply of calcium and hydroxyl ions is required. In this research, considering HAP crystallization, several types of lime-based granular alkaline materials were prepared, and the elution characteristics of calcium and hydroxyl ions of each were analyzed. Also, column tests were performed to verify phosphorus removal efficiencies of granular alkaline materials. Material_1 (gypsum+cement mixed material) achieved the highest pH values in the column tests consistently, also, Material_2 (gypsum+slag mixed material) and Material_3 (calcined limestone material) achieved over pH 9.0 for 240 hours (10 days) and proved the efficiencies of long-term ion supplier for HAP crystallization. In the column tests using Material_3, considerable pH increase and phosphorus removal were carried out according to each linear velocity and filtration depth. T-P removal efficiencies were 87.0, 84.0, 68.0% and those of PO4-P 100.0, 97.0, 80.0% for linear velocity of 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 m/hr respectively. Based on the column test results, the applicability of phosphorus removal processes for small-scale wastewater treatment plants and nonpoint pollution control facilities was found out.

부영양화로 인한 녹 적조류가 과잉 번식하여 다양한 환경문제를 야기해왔으나, 최근 조류를 에너지원으로 활용할 수 있는 바이오 디젤 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 하수처리장의 산소공급을 위한 송풍에너지 절약을 위해 미세조류의 광합성 작용으로 발생하는 산소를 하수처리장에 적용시키는 연구도 다양하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 조류광합성 산소를 질산화에 필요한 산소로 활용하고자 실험실 규모의 조류-질산화 반응조를 운영하였으며, 운전구간은 크게 3구간으로 운전하였다. MLSS(Mixed Liquer Suspended Solid) 농도에 변화를 준 구간에서 24~38 %, Micro-algae 농도에 변화를 준 구간에서는 38~50%, 그리고 HRT(Hydraulic Retention Time)에 변화를 준 구간에서 61~80%의 암모니아성 질소 제거율이 나타났다. 연구결과 MLSS 가 감소함에 따라, Algae Biomass가 증가함에 따라 암모니아성 질소 제거율이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, MLSS에 의한 영향보다 Algae biomass 에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The effective removal of microcystins by chlorination was investigated on a laboratory scale. With an initial chl.a concentration of more than 1,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ℓ, the required chlorine dose for the effective removal of microcystins from the raw water was more than 8.0 mg/ℓ. Whereas, a chlorine dose of 3.0 mg/ℓcould effectively remove microcystins from raw water containing a chl.a concentration of less than 1,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ℓ. The microcystin removal was more effective below pH 8.0, plus the optimum pH range was unrelated to the concentration of toxic algal material. Although chlorination is one of the most effective methods for reducing the toxin from blue-green algae, it causes cell lysis and toxin release. However, it was demonstrated that the released cell lysates and toxins could be effectively removed by a higher dose of the oxidant. The highest removal efficiency of dissolved microcystins(initial concentration: 280 $\mu\textrm{g}$ L$\^$-1/) was with a chlorine dose of 5.0 mg/ℓ.
