Catalytic reduction and oxidation of NO over polyacrylonitrile based activated carbon fibers (PAN-ACF) under various conditions were carried out to develop removal process of NO from the flue gas. The effect of temperature, oxygen concentration and the moisture content for the reduction of NO with ammonia as a reducing agent was investigated. The reduction of NO increased with the oxygen concentration, but decreased with the increased temperature. The moisture content in the flue gas affects the reduction of NO as the inhibition of the adsorption of the other components and the reaction on the surface of ACE For the oxidation of NO to $NO_2$ over PAN-ACF without using a reducing gas, it showed the temperature and the oxygen concentration of the flue gas are the important factors for the NO conversion in which the conversion increased with oxygen concentration and decreased with the temperature increase and might be the alternative option for the selective catalytic reduction process.

Removal of nitrogen compound from waste water is essential and often accomplished by biological process. To prevent washout and to develop an efficient bioreactor, immobilization of sutibal microorganisms could be sensible approach. Strains and permeabilized cell encapsulated in cellulose nitrate microcapsules and immobilized on polystyrene films were prepared by the method described in the previous study. In the wastewater treatment system, nitrification of ammonia component is generally known as rate controlling step. To enhance the rate of nitrification, firstly nitrifying strains Nitrosomonas europaea(IFO14298), are permeabilized chemically, and immobilized on polystyrene films and secondly oxidation rates of strain system and permeabilized strain system are compared in the same condition. with 30 minute permeabilized cells, it took about 25 hours to oxidize 70% of ammonia in the solution, while it took about 40 hours to treat same amount of ammonia with untreated cells. All the immobilization procedures did not harm to the enzyme activity and no mass transfer resistance through the capsule well was shown. In the durability test of immobilized system, the system showed considerable activity for the repeated operation for 90 days. With these results, the system developed in this study showed the possibility to be used in the actual waste water treatment system.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the high strength ammonia oxidation of piggery wastewater. Laboratory scale reactors was operated using influent of piggery wastewater and effluent of anaerobic digester from piggery wastewater at $35^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. Results of various operating conditions were compared and analyzed. After analyzing the results, effluent of anaerobic digester from piggery wastewater required shorter Solid retention time (SRT) than influent of piggery wastewater. In terms of the temperature, stable ammonia removal and denitrification was achieved on the both of the condition. At the temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, nitrite conversion rate was better than $20^{\circ}C$. It can be concluded that treating the piggery wastewater using anaerobic digester on the condition of the temperature at $35^{\circ}C$ is more efficient on the nitritation of the piggery wastewater.

Chemical batch tests were conducted to investigate the amount of nutrients that were released from the wasted activated sludge during microwave heating. For this study, three types of activated sludge were obtained from $A_2/O$, MLE and oxidation ditch (OD) processes. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms in the activated sludge have a unique trait: they releases phosphate from the cell when they are exposed to high temperatures. The sludge obtained from the $A_2/O$ process released the largest amount of phosphate, followed by those from the MLE and OD processes. The release of phosphate increased with increasing polyphosphate content in the sludge under strongly alkaline or acidic conditions. Furthermore, ammonia and heavy metals were released with phosphorous. The largest amount of ammonia was observed from the sludge obtained from the MLE process. The release of heavy metals strongly depends on the pH conditions. Therefore, the chemical analysis results strongly suggest that both phosphorus and ammonia react with $Mg^{2+}$ or $Ca^{2+}$ to form metal complexes such as magnesium ammonium phosphate or hydroxyapatite under alkaline conditions.

In this study, a water electrolysis was studied to investigate the effect of ammonia on current density and H2 gas production. A H type cell with three electrodes was used and KOH solution was used as electrolyte. The conventional platinum foil was used for working electrode, whereas nickel foam was used for counter electrode. CV experiment was performed to see the activity of ammonia oxidation reaction. In addition, CP experiment was done to examine the dependence of Faraday efficiency of hydrogen on current density and NH3 concentration. The CV result shows the 0.5M NH3 concentration required for highest current density and reliable operation. The CP result shows the increased current density leads to higher H2 generation. The higher H2 production and subsequent energy efficiency was observed for 0.5M NH3 using a Pt/13%Rh coil for a cathode as compared to those in water electrolysis.

암모니아 산화 미생물을 부산근교 하수처리장의 오니와 양어장 여과막에서 분리 동정하여 이들의 암모니아 산화성을 실험하였다. 독립영양성 암모니아 산화세균으로는 Nitrosomonas sp.를 분리. 동정하였고 종속 영양성균으로는 2종의 Bacillus sp., 2종의 Acinetobacter sp., 그리 고 Xanthomonas sp., Ajcaligenes sp., Pseudomonas sp., 그리고 Sphingobacterium sp.등의 8종을 분리하였다. 분리균주들의 암모니아 산화성을 실험하기 위하여서는 mineral salt medium에 $NH_4Cl$ 10mg/$\ell$를 첨가한 배지에서 $28^{\circ}C$, 15일 배양한 결과 Nitrosomonas sp.는 배양4일째부터 균수가 증가하면서 암모니아 산화와 아질산생성이 시작되어 15일 배양후에는 약 2mg/$\ell$의 암모니아성질소의 감소가 일어났고 동시에 0.023$\~$0.036mg/$\ell$의 아질산성 질소가 생성되었다. Heterotrophs 8균주는 균주에 따라 다소 차이는 있었으나 배양 15일 동안 균의 증식은 거의 일어나지 않았고 오히려 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 암모니아 산화성도 낮아 0.02$\~$0.64mg/$\ell$ 정도 감소하였고 아질산성 질소의 생성량은 0.01$\~$0.51 mg/$\ell$ 정도이었다. 그러나 heterotrophs 83주를 mineral salt medium에 $NH_4Cl$ 10mg$\ell$과 glucose 50 mg/$\ell$를 첨가시키면 균증식도 좋아지고 암모니아 산화성도 증가하여 15일 배양 후에는 암모니아성질소는 1.12$\~$3.85 mg/$\ell$ 정도 감소하였다. $NH_4Cl$ 50mg/$\ell$과 glucose 5 g/$\ell$ 로 조절된 배지에서는 암모니아 산화성이 더욱 좋아져 15일 배양 후에 약 1$\~$20mg/$\ell$의 암모니아성 질소가 감소하였다.

The $NH_3$-SCR characteristics of $NO_X$ over a V-based catalyst are experimentally examined over a wide range of operating conditions, i.e., $170-590^{\circ}C$ and $30,000-50,000h^{-1}$, with a simulated diesel exhaust containing $NH_3$, NO, $NO_2$, $O_2$, $H_2O$, and $N_2$. The influences of the space velocity and oxygen concentration on the standard-SCR reaction are analyzed, and it is shown that the low space velocity and high oxygen concentration promote the SCR activity by ammonia. The best $deNO_X$ efficiency is obtained with a $NO_2/NO_X$ ratio of 0.5 because of an enhanced chemical activity induced by the fast-SCR reaction, while at the $NO_2/NO_X$ ratios above 0.5 the $deNO_x$ activity decreases due to the slow-SCR reaction. The oxidation of ammonia begins to take place at about $300^{\circ}C$ and the reaction products, such as $N_2$, NO, $NO_2$, $N_2O$, and $H_2O$, are produced by the undesirable oxidation reactions of ammonia, particularly at high temperatures above $450^{\circ}C$. Also, $NO_2$ decomposes to NO and $O_2$ at temperatures above $240^{\circ}C$. Therefore, $NO_2$ decomposition and ammonia oxidation reactions deteriorate significantly the SCR catalytic activity at high temperatures.

본 논문에서는 암모니아의 전해 분해를 위한 분리막 반응기의 음극방 및 양극방에서 물의 전해에 따른 암모니아 용액의 pH 변화가 고찰되었으며, 단위 전해 셀이 적층된 다단 전해 반응기에서의 암모니아의 연속식 분해 특성이 평가되었다. 분리막을 가지는 반응기에서 암모니아 용액의 전해 반응 시, 양극에서는 pH가 8 이하에서부터 수소 이온이 생성되는 물 분해 반응이 일어나며, 음극에서는 pH가 11 이상에서부터 수산기 이온이 생성되는 물 분해 반응이 일어나 암모니아 용액의 pH를 변화시켜 암모니아 전해 분해에 영향을 크게 미쳤으며, 음이온 교환막을 사용하는 경우가 양이온 교환막을 사용하는 경우보다 양극방에서 암모니아 분해에 유리한 알카리 분위기를 보다 효과적으로 유지할 수 있었다. 분리막 전해 반응기의 특성을 이용하여 자체 pH 조정 기능을 가지는 연속식 암모니아 전해 반응기가 새롭게 고안하였고, 여기서는 pH-조정조 탱크 용액을 두고 이의 용액 일부를 음극방으로 순환시킴으로써, 양극방으로 주입되는 pH-조정조의 용액의 pH를 높여 암모니아 분해율을 높일 수 있었다. 또한, 그러한 반응기를 이용한 salt-free 연속식 암모니아 전해 분해 공정이 제시되었으며, 이러한 공정에서는 염소 이온을 가지는 암모니아 용액의 80％까지 연속적으로 암모니아를 환경에 무해한 질소로 분해 시킬 수 있었다.

Fabrication of iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures for detection of ammonia gas at room temperature is reported. The iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures are fabricated by in situ co-arc-discharge method using a graphite source with varying numbers of iron wires inserted. The composite structures reveal higher response signals at room temperature than at high temperatures. As the number of iron wires inserted increased, the volume of carbon nanotubes and iron nanoparticles produced increased. The oxidation condition of the composite structures varied the carbon nanotube/iron oxide ratio in the structure and, consequently, the resistance of the structures and, finally, the ammonia gas sensing performance. The highest sensor performance was realized with $500^{\circ}C/2h$ oxidation heat-treatment condition, in which most of the carbon nanotubes were removed from the composite and iron oxide played the main role of ammonia sensing. The response signal level was 62% at room temperature. We also found that UV irradiation enhances the sensing response with reduced recovery time.

In this study, photocatalytic degradation of ammonia in petrochemical wastewater is investigated by solar light photocatalysis. Two-dimensional ultra-thin atomic layer structured MoS₂ are synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method. We examine all prepared samples by means of physical techniques, such as SEM-EDX, HRTEM, FT-IR, BET, XRD, XPS, DRS and PL. And, we use fullerene modified MoS₂ nanosheets to enhance the activity of photochemically generated oxygen (PGO) species. Surface area and pore volumes of the MoS₂-fullerene samples significantly increase due to the existence of MoS₂. And, PGO oxidation of MB, TBA and TMST, causing its concentration in aqueous solution to decrease, is confirmed by the results of PL. The generation of reactive oxygen species is detected through the oxidation reaction from 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCI) to 1,5-diphenyl carbazone (DPCO). It is found that the photocurrent density and the PGO effect increase in the case with modified fullerene. The experimental results show that this heterogeneous catalyst has a degradation of 88.43% achieved through visible light irradiation. The product for the degradation of NH₃ is identified as N₂, but not NO^2- or NO^3-.
