Many plants have been improved to adapt the target of the biological treatment processes changed from organics to nutrients since the water quality criteria of effluent was reinforced and included T-N and T-P for the municipal wastewater treatment plant. To meet the criteria of T-N and T-P, the conventional biological reactor such as aeration tank in activated sludge system is changed to the BNR (biological nutrient removal) processes, which are typically divided into three units as anaerobic, anoxic and oxic tank. Therefore, the solid separation process should be redesigned to fit the BNR processes in case of the application of the DAF (dissolved air flotation) process as an alternatives because the solid-liquid separation characteristics of microbial flocs produced in the BNR processes are also different from that of activated sludge system as well. The results of this study revealed that the microbial floc of the anaerobic tank was the hardest to be separated among the three steps of the unit tanks for the BNR processes. On the contrary, the oxic tank was best for the removal efficiency of nutrients as well as suspended solid. In addition, the removal efficiency of nutrients was much improved under the chemical coagulation treatment though coagulation was not indispensable with a respect to the solid separation. On the other hand, in spited that the separation time for the microbial floc from the BNR processes were similar to the typical particles like clay flocs, over $2.32{\times}10^3$ ppm of air volume concentration was required to keep back the break-up of the bubble-floc agglomerates.

Cyclonic-dissolved air flotation(Cyclonic-DAF), an advanced form of pressure flotation, applies a structure that enables the forming of twirling flows. This in turn allows for suspended matter to adhere to microbubbles and float to the surface of a treatment tank during the process of intake water flowing through a float separation tank. This study conducted a lab-scale test and pursued geometrical modeling using computational fluid dynamics(CFD) to establish a pilot scale design. Based on the design parameters found through the above process, a pilot cyclonic-DAF system($10m^3/hr$) for removing algae was created. Upon developing the pilot-scale cyclonic-DAF system, a type of algae coagulant(R-119) was applied as the coagulant to the system for field testing through which the removal rates of chlorophyll-a and cyanobacteria were evaluated. The chlorophyll-a and harmful cyanobacteria of the raw water at region B, the field-test site, were found to be $177.9mg/m^3$ and 652,500cells/mL respectively. Treated waters applied with 60mg/L and 100mg/L of algae coagulant presented removal efficiencies of approximately 95% and 97%, respectively. The cyanobacteria cell number of the treated waters applied with 60mg/L and 100mg/L of algae coagulant both that were equal to or less than 1,000cells/mL and were below attention level criteria for the issuance of algae boundary.

우리나라는 농업용수, 생활용수 등의 목적으로 여러 개의 호소 등을 설치하여 운영 중에 있다. 하지만 몇몇 호소들은 인구증가 및 산업발달로 인하여 매년 오염도가 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 특히 부영양화 현상으로 인하여 남조류가 과다번식 할 경우 호소 수질 및 수생태계에 악영향은 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 호소의 부영양화 현상을 제어하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 부영양화 현상을 발생시킬 수 있는 여러 제한인자 중 인(P)에 대한 관심이 많아지고 있는 실정이다. 부상분리의 일종인 DAF는 침전공정의 대안으로서 25년 전부터 유럽과 미국을 중심으로 정수 및 하수처리 공정에서 이용되어 왔다. 가압부상공법에서 발생되는 기포의 크기는 $50{\sim}100{\mu}m$ 정도로 부상물질인 스컴이 파괴될 가능성이 낮고 기포의 크기가 작아 공기의 용해효율이 높으며 대전작용, 물리적 흡착효과 등의 특징을 가진다고 알려져 있다. 또한 공기와 물 뿐만 아니라 Al 성분의 응집제인 PAC를 이용하여 버블을 발생시킬 경우 인의 제거 효율이 크다고 알려져 있다. 가압부상공법의 경우 응집 침전 공정과는 달리 발생되는 처리과정에서 발생되는 부산물을 외부로 유출 시킬 수 있기 때문에 호소 수질정화에 이용될 수 있다고 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저수지의 형태와 유사한 반응조를 설계하여 DAF를 주입하는 실내실험을 진행하였으며, 이를 통해 호소수질 정화를 위한 DAF의 타당성에 대해 평가하기 위해 이루어졌다.

The performance of EF (electroflotation) on the thickening of activated sludge were investigated using laboratory scale batch flotation reactor. In this paper, the effects of parameters such as electrode material, NaCl dosage, initial sludge concentration and electrode distance were examined. The results showed that the performance for sludge thickening of the five electrodes lay in: Pt/Ti > Ru/Ti > Ir/Ti > Ti mesh > Ti plate. The more NaCl dosage was high, the more sludge was thickened and the shorter thickening time was obtained. However, considering the final thickening time and sludge concentration, optimum NaCl dosage was 0.5 g/L. Thickening time and sludge concentration was not affected by electrode distance. In DAF (dissolved air flotation) system, optimum recycle ratio was 40% and thickening performance was lower than that of the EF.

이 연구의 목적은 TPH 또는 $Cr^{6+}$이 함유된 오염 지하수의 처리 가능성을 평가하는 데 있다. 오일과 물의 분리, 용존 공기 부유 (DAF), 응고 및 침전, 모래와 활성탄으로 각각 여과를 위한 실험실 규모 테스트가 수행되었다. 총 40 분간의 분리 시간 동안 오일과 물의 분리 시험을 2 회 실시한 결과 TPH 제거율은 90.2 %였다. 높은 농도의 TPH 샘플에 대한 DAF 테스트의 경우, TPH 제거율은 미세 기포 크기의 변화에 따라 크게 변하지 않았다. 그러나 낮은 TPH 샘플에 대한 테스트는 미세 기포가 작을수록 TPH 제거율이 증가함을 보여준다. DAF 테스트를 위해 응집제를 샘플에 첨가했을 때 TPH 제거율은 12.3 % 증가했다. DAF에 의한 SS 제거율은 $16{\sim}40{\mu}m$에서 97.9 %였으며 미세 기포의 크기가 감소함에 따라 증가했다. 지하수에서 $Cr^{6+}$의 제거를 평가하기 위해 응집 및 침전 시험을 수행했다. $FeSO_4$ 투여량을 증가하였을때 응집 및 침전 공정에서 $Cr^{6+}$ 제거율이 증가하였다. 필터 매체에서 활성탄의 비율이 높을수록 여과공정에서 TPH 제거율이 증가한다. 여과에 의한 SS 제거율은 DAF 공정 시험 결과와 비슷한 96.7 %였다. 여과 과정은 TPH와 SS 농도가 감소하였다. 모래의 크기가 $425{\sim}850{\mu}m$이고 활성탄과 모래의 비율이 50:50일때 최적의 처리효율을 나타냈다.

A 1,000 ㎥/d DAF(dissolved air flotation) pilot plant was installed to evaluate the performance of the floating process using the Nakdong River. Efficiency of various DAF operations under different conditions, such as hydraulic loading rate, coagulant concentration was evaluated in the current research. The operation conditions were evaluated, based on the removal or turbidity, TOC(total organic carbon), THMFP(trihalomethane formation potential), Mn(manganese), and Al(aluminum). Also, particle size analysis of treated water by DAF was performed to examine the characteristics of particles existing in the treated water. The turbidity removal was higher than 90%, and it could be operated at 0.5 NTU or less, which is suitable for the drinking water quality standard. Turbidity, TOC, and THMFP resulted in stable water quality when replacing the coagulant from alum to PAC(poly aluminum chloride). A 100% removal of Chl-a was recorded during the summer period of the DAF operations. Mn removal was not as effective as where the removal did not satisfy the water quality standards for the majority of the operation period. Hydraulic loading of 10 m/h, and coagulant concentrations of 40 mg/L was determined to be the optimal operating conditions for turbidity and TOC removal. When the coagulant concentration increases, the Al concentration of the DAF treated water also increases, so coagulant injection control is required according to the raw water quality. Particle size distribution results indicated that particles larger than 25 ㎛ showed higher removal rates than smaller particles. The total particel count in the treated water was 2,214.7 counts/ml under the operation conditions of 10 m/h of hydraulic loading rate and coagulant concentrations of 60 mg/L.

Surfactant enhanced in-situ soil flushing was peformed to remediate the soil and groundwater at an oil contaminated site, and the effluent solution was treated by the chemical treatment process including DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation). A section from the contaminated site(4.5m$\times$4.5m$\times$6.0m) was selected for the research, which was composed of heterogeneous sandy and silt-sandy soils with average Hydraulic conductivity of 2.0$\times$10$^{-4}$ cm/sec. Two percent of sorbitan monooleate(POE 20) and 0.07% of iso-prophyl alcohol were mixed for the surfactant solution and 3 pore volumes of surfactant solution were injected to remove oil from the contaminant section. Four injection wells and two extraction wells were built in the section to flush surfactant solution. Water samples taken from extraction wells and the storage tank were analyzed by GC(gas-chromatography) for TPH concentration with different time. Five pore volumes of solution were extracted while TPH concentration in soil and groundwater at the section were below the Waste Water Discharge Limit(WWDL). Total 18.5kg of oil (TPH) was removed from the section. The concentration of heavy metals in the effluent solution also increased with the increase of TPH concentration, suggesting that the surfactant enhanced in-situ flushing be available to remove not only oil but heavy metals from contaminated sites. Results suggest that in-situ soil flushing and chemical treatment process including DAF could be a successful process to remediate contaminated sites distributed in Korea.

A new technique for recycling process water was developed in order to reduce the calcium hardness of the closed OCC recycling system. Calcium ions present in the white water were precipitated as calcium carbonate by a reaction with sodium carbonate and the CaCO$_3$precipitates were easily removed from the system by a dissolved air flotation(DAF) method. After the DAF stage, CO$_2$-gas was purged into the water because the pH of Na$_2$CO$_3$-treated white water was reduced to neutral by CO$_2$gas. Since CaCO$_3$precipitate tends to stick onto the fine fiber surface and then is selectively removed from the water, a proper amount of suspended solid in the process water acts as an important factor in deciding the removal efficiency. By the application of Na$_2$CO$_3$addition - DAF - CO$_2$purging to the short circulated white water the calcium hardness was significantly reduced by 92% and more. The removal of calcium ions with fine fibers led to drainage improvement, reduction of fresh water consumption, and enhanced efficiency of wet-end chemicals.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the treatment efficiency of paper-mill wastewater using pure oxygen activated sludge process. Effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and organic loading on process performance and kinetics were investigated. The raw paper-mill wastewater(BOD concentration ${\leq}500mg/L$) and the effluent from dissolved air flotation(DAF) treatment(BOD concentration ${\geq}500mg/L$) were used as influent for pure oxygen activated sludge process. Average BOD removal efficiencies were above 89.3% under 6hours or longer of HRT, while under 3hours of HRT they decreased to about 82%. With the effluent from DAF process, the half saturation constants($K_S$) and the maximum specific substrate removal rate($K_{max}$) were 85 mg/L and 2.25 L/day, respectively. However, with the raw paper-mill wastewater, both $K_S$ and $K_{max}$ increased to 156 mg/L and 3.84 L/day, respectively. The microbial yield coefficient(Y) and the decay coefficient($K_d$) were 0.46 gVSS/gBOD and 0.03 L/day, respectively, with effluent from DAF process. While, Y and $K_d$ were 0.24 gVSS/gBOD and 0.035 L/day, respectively, with the raw paper-mill wastewater.
