A biofilm reactor packed with porous media was investigated for nitrogen removal of synthetic wastewater. The effect of different loading rates on the nitrification was sustained to be steady state with stable efficiency of 50~60% in the range of $0.0083{\sim}0.017gNH_4-N/gMLVSS{\cdot}day$ of F/MN ratio and $1{\sim}2kgNH_4-N/m^3{\cdot}day$ of media volumetric loading rate. However, nitrification efficiency was rapidly decreased to 25~30% as F/MN ratio and media volumetric loading rate were increased to the range of $0.025{\sim}0.034gNH_4-N/gMLVSS{\cdot}day$ and $3{\sim}4kgNH_4-N/m^3{\cdot}day$, respectively. Also the consumption rate of alkalinity was higher under 8 hours of HRT than unter 6 hours of HRT. Accordingly the influent loading rate variation by detention time with influent flow influenced more on the nitrification efficiency than the influent loading rate variation by the influent concentration did. The temperature effect on the nitrification showed 25% higher in summer than in winter as the results reported by other researchers who reported that the nitrification efficiency in biofilm showed 20% increase from 55% to 75% when the temperature was raised from $20^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$. Denitrification with sulfur-media showed 90% removal efficiency under steady-state with no effect from the increase of influent concentration and empty bed contact time (EBCT) change such as EBCT was decreased from 8.4 hr to 4.3 hr and $NO_3-N$ loading rate was changed within the range of $0.1{\sim}0.4kgNO^3-N/m^3{\cdot}day$. Accordingly Denitrification with sulfur-media is feasible for post denitrification at the concentration less than $80mgNO^3-N/L$.

This study's purpose is the investigating the created liquid post-acid fermentation of usability of denitrification as exterior carbon sources by loading capacity of Organic matters. The time of acid fermentation of food waste, the slower loading capacity of organic matter, the faster decomposition fate, but the density of generation $VFA_S$ was weak and, $SBOD_5$ : ST-N rate and $SBOD_5/SCOD_{Cr}$ rate was low. Between TS and VS, VS was decreased to 6th day rast, and then was decreased slowly. Two days after stating the experiments, $SCOD_{Cr}$, $SBOD_5$, STOC and $VFA_S$ was decreased or increased slowly, and then increased fast. And after showing the highest density, it was tended to decreased fast. About 5 days after, because about 5 days later $CH_4$ bacteria activity due to the accumulation of $VFA_S$ was limited, $CH_4$ density was weak. When highest density in the acquisition of VFA, $R_1$ was $10,120mg/{\ell}$, $R_2$ was $11,380mg/{\ell}$, $R_3$was $13,720mg/{\ell}$. So $R_3$ only cut was highest generation. At the time of $SBOD_5$ with the highest density, at $SBOD_5$ : ST-N ratio, $R_1$ was 243:1, $R_2$ was 278:1, $R_3$ was 293:1. All of these were high $SBOD_5$ : ST-N ratios. And $R_3$ was the highest. After studying $SBOD_5$ : ST-N ratio and $SBCD_5/SCOD_{Cr}$ ratio, as a carbon source of biological denitrification it was profitable composition ratio.

This study was performed to verify the possibility of nitrification and denitrification in a single reactor. In batch type experiment, optimal point of experimental conditions could be found by performing the experiments. When supply location of microbubbles was located at half of width of the aeration tank and operating pressure of 0.5 bar, it was possible for zones in the aeration tank to be separated into anoxic and aerobic by controlling air suction rate according to operating pressure of the generator. To be specific, the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) in zone 1 and 2 of the aeration tank could be maintained as less than 0.5 mg/L. Also, in the case of concentration of oxygen in zone 3 and 4, the concentration of DO was increased up to 1.7 mg/L due to effects of microbubbles. In continuous flow type experiment based on the results of batch type experiments, the removal efficiency of nitrogen based on T-N was observed as 39.83% at operating pressure of 0.5 bar and 46.51% at operating pressure of 1 bar so it was able to know that sufficient air suction rate should be required for nitrification. Also, denitrification process could be achieved in a single reactor by using ejector type microbubble generator and organic matter and suspended solid could be removed. Therefore, it was possible to verify that zones could be separated into anoxic and aerobic and nitrification and denitrification process could be performed in a single reactor.

남해안의 주요 하구 4곳(순천만, 섬진강, 고성천, 마산만)과 서해안의 태안 근소만 갯벌에서 2009년 3월부터 2010년 5월까지 유기물 정화능력을 파악할 수 있는 퇴적물 산소요구량(Sediment Oxygen Demand; SOD)과 탈질소화(Denitrification)를 측정하였다. 퇴적물 산소요구량은 퇴적물 배양 중 시간당 용존산소감소율로 부터 추정되었으며, 탈질소화 측정에는 질소 안정동위원소를 추적자로 이용하는 isotope paring technique이 사용되었다. 조사지역의 퇴적물 산소요구량과 탈질소화율은 각각 -5.1~24.6 mmole $O_2m^{-2}d^{-1}$와 0.0~3.9 mmole $N_2m^{-2}d^{-1}$의 범위를 보였다. 퇴적물 산소요구량이 가장 높은 곳은 마산만(평균 = 10.2(범위 =-2.2~19.2 mmole $O_2m^{-2}d^{-1}$)이었으며, 순천만, 고성, 태안, 섬진강 순으로 나타났다. 탈질소화율도 마산만(평균 = 1.0(범위 =0.0~3.9) mmole $N_2 m^{-2}d^{-1}$이 가장 높았으며, 고성, 섬진강, 순천만, 태안 순으로 나타났다. 태안, 섬진강, 마산 지역에서는 계절적으로 저서미세조류에 의한 광합성이 탈질소화에 뚜렷한 영향을 미쳤는데 광합성 동안 생성된 산소는 혐기성과정인 탈질소화를 저해하기 보다는 질산화를 원활하게 하여, 질산화-탈질소화 연계과정을 촉진시켰다. 남해안 허구에서 탈질소화의 계절변화 유형(봄철 최대 유형과 여름철 최대 유형)의 지역적 차이는 탈질소화에 사용되는 두 질산원($D_w$; 강을 통해 공급된 질산과 $D_n$; 질산화-탈질소화 연계과정에 의해 생성된 질산)의 상대적 중요성에 따라 결정되었다. 즉 봄철에 탈질소화가 높게 나타난 순천만, 고성, 마산은 여름철에 비해 봄철 수층 질산염이 풍부하였고, 이를 통해 $D_w$가 증가되었다. 태안과 섬진강 지역이 여름철에 탈질소화 최대값을 보인 이유는 수층의 질산염이 고갈되지 않은 상태에서 여름철 수온의 증가로 $D_w$가 증가하였고, 이와 더불어, 산소고갈이 나타나지 않아 질산화에 좋은 환경이 조성되었으며, 결과적으로 $D_n$이 증가되었기 때문이다.

전자공여체로 황 입자를 충전시킨 상향류 고정상에서 유입수의 $NO_3{^-}$-N 농도를 일정하게 유지하고 체류시간과 온도를 변화시키면서 독립영양 탈질실험을 실시한 결과, 체류시간 및 온도가 감소함에 따라 처리수의 $NO_2{^-}$-N 및 발생가스의 $NO_2$ 농도가 증가하면서 탈질효율이 악화되고 가스발생량은 감소하였다. 제거된 $NO_3{^-}$-N 1g당 소모된 알칼리도의 양은 실험조건에 따라 차이를 나타내어, 체류시간 영향 실험에서는 3.44~5.71 g. 평균값 4.67 g로 이론값인 4.57 g에 근사하였으나, 온도 영향 실험에서는 6.58~13.41 g, 평균값 9.12g은 이론값의 2배 정도되었다. 제거된 $NO_3{^-}$-N 1 g당 생성된 $SO_4{^{2-}}$의 양은 체류시간 영향 실험에서는 6.99~9.69 g, 평균 8.20 g이었으며, 온도 영향 실험에서는 6.44~8.16 g, 평균 7.51g으로 이론값인 7.54 g에 가깝게 나타났다. 반응조 길이 방향에 따른 탈질은 반응속도상수가 0.1648/hr인 1차반응으로 그리고 황산염 생성은 반응속도상수가 241/hr인 0차반응으로 나타났으며, 온도보정계수는 평균 1.130으로 계산되었다. 그러나 질소수지를 따진 결과 이론치와 실측치간에 큰 차이를 보여 이의 규명을 위한 연구가 요망된다.

다공성 담체에 형성된 미생물을 이용한 질소화합물 제거를 위하여 질산화와 탈질의 연계처리에 의한 연구를 수행하였다. $NH_4-N$의 질산화 및 황담체를 전자공여체로 제공하여 독립영양 탈질이 유도되도록 실험을 수행한 결과 다음과 같은 결론이 도출되었다. 유입 농도 및 HRT의 변화에 따라 미생물에 대한 $NH_4-N$의 부하량 ($F/M_N$비)이 $0.0062{\sim}0.034gNH_4-N/g\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$의 범위에서 증가할 경우 부하량 증가에 따른 질산화 율은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 같은 범위의 $F/M_N$비(유입부하)일 경우 HRT 6시간보다 8시간으로 운전하였을 때가 알칼리도 소모량이 더 높게 나타났다. 따라서 유입 $NH_4-N$ 농도가 높아짐에 따라 증가된 유입부하가 질산화 효율 증가에 미치는 영향보다는 같은 $F/M_N$비(유입부하)일 때 유입유량 변화로 인한 체류시간이 증가할수록 더 질산화의 효율 향상에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. EBCT의 변화에 따른 탈질효율은 8.4hr 이상으로 유지될 때는 평균 25% 이상으로 나타났으나 4.6hr으로 줄어들 때는 평균 5%로 크게 감소함으로써 EBCT는 최소한 8.4hr 이상을 유지하는 것이 더 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 탈질효율은 $NO_3-N$의 황담체 단위체적 당 유입부하가 $0.5{\sim}2.0kg\;NO_3-N/m^3{\cdot}day$의 범위에서 낮아질수록 반비례하여 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

To observe the changes in isotopic composition (${\delta}^{15}N$) of $NO_3{^-}$ during denitrification, an incubation experiment using soil treated with nitrification inhibitor (2-chloro-6-trichloromethyl-pyridine) under water-saturated condition was conducted for 153 h. The $NO_3-N$ concentration decreased from 73.3 to $20.6mg\;kg^{-1}$ during the incubation period, with denitrification rate constant of $0.00905h^{-1}$, and ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of $NO_3-N$ increased from +0.9 to +25.5‰ with decreasing the $NO_3-N$ concentration. The increase in the ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of $NO_3-N$ is due to kinetic isotope fractionation, which always results in $^{15}N$ enrichment of the substrate. The isotopic fractionation factor calculated in this study was 1.0196, an indication that 1.96% more $^{14}NO_3{^-}$ reacted at a given time interval than a comparable number of $^{15}NO_3{^-}$. The ${\delta}^{15}N$ values measured through the incubation study showed a good agreement with the results calculated from the Fochts isotope fractionation model. Our results suggest that when the ${\delta}^{15}N$ of $NO_3{^-}$ is used for tracing the fate of N, the kinetic isotope fractionation associated with denitrification must be taken into consideration.

In this study, a process combined biofiltration with sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification and membrane separation was proposed to examine the efficiency of nitrogen removal. As an experimental device, hollow-fiber module was installed in the center of reactor to generate the flux forward sulfur layer in the cylinder packed with granular sulfur. In addition, a simple module was installed in activated sludge aeration tank which inside and outside of sulfur-using denitrification module was covered with microfilter and the module was considered as an alternative of clarifier. The experiment for developing new MBR process was carried out for three years totally. As the results of first two-year experiment, successful nitrogen removal performance was revealed with lab-scale test and pliot scale plant using artificial wastewater and actual plating wastewater. In this year, pilot scale test using actual domestic wastewater was performed to prove field applicability. As the results, high-rate nitrogen removal performance was confirmed with about 0.19 kg ${NO_3}^--N/m^3$ day of rate. Also significant fouling and pressure increase were not found during the experiment. And, the production ratio of sulfate and the consumption ratio of alkalinity showed a slightly higher value about 311 mg ${SO_4}^{2-}/L$ and 369 mg $CaCO_3$/L, respectively. In conclusion, the developed MBR process can be utilized as an alternative for retrofiting existing wastewater plants as well as new construction of advanced sewage wastewater treatment plants, with cost-effective merit.

In order to remove the organic substances and the nitrate-nitrogen contained in wastewater, some researchers have studied the simultaneous removal of organics and nitrogen by using different biocathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The operating conditions for removing the contaminants in the MFCs are the external resistances, HRTs, the concentration of the influent wastewater, and other factors. This study aimed to determine the effect of the external resistors and organic loading rates, from the changing HRT, on the removal of the organics and nitrogen and on the production of electric power using the Denitrification Biocathode - Microbial Fuel Cell (DNB-MFC). As regards the results of the study, the removal efficiencies of $SCOD_{Cr}$ did not show any difference, but the nitrate-nitrogen removal efficiencies were increased by decreasing the external resistance. The maximum denitrification rate achieved was $129.2{\pm}13.54g\;NO_3{^-}-N/m^3/d$ in the external resistance $1{\Omega}$, and the maximum power density was $3,279mW/m^3$ in $10{\Omega}$. When the DNB-MFC was operated with increasing influent organic and nitrate loading by reducing the HRTs, the $NO_3{^-}-N$ removal efficiencies were increased linearly, and the maximum nitrate removal rate was $1,586g\;NO^3{^-}-N/m^3/d$ at HRT 0.6 h.
