This paper aims to evaluate the characteristics of direct and indirect effluents'toxicity level and difference between two test durations (24 h and 48 h) of test method. The proportion of the indirect effluent samples which exceeded the ecotoxicity permit limitations (TU 1 or TU 2) showed more than 2 times higher than that of direct effluent samples. However, effluent toxicity of Wastewater Treatment Plants (WTPs) indicated less than TU 1 regardless of influent toxicity. From this results, treatment process was thought to have a good efficiency. WTP Salinity was very similar between influent and effluent. This trend could be reconfirmed by the component ratio of ion concentration between them and $Na^+$, $SO_4^{2-}$, $C^-$ lions which have a greater percentage than other ions. In addition, in case of high salinity, toxicity value also showed high level. To judge from above results, indirect effluents which were exempted from application of ecotoxicity standards, may need a new effluent limitations regardless of the treatment efficiency of WTP. According to circumstances, effective countermeasure may need to restrain the discharge of salinity-contained effluents which came from indirect-effluent factories. Test duration comparative study indicated that 48 h results were higher toxicity (exceeding rate of ecotoxicity criteria) than 24 h by the 5 to 5.4 percentage. 24 h test duration seemed to be useful in case of rapid detection, whereas 48 h test method could be applied for reinforcement of ecotoxicity regulatory system.

이 연구의 목적은 응천에서 채집한 담수 붕어(Carassius auratus)의 산화적 스트레스와 조직병리학적 손상을 분석하여 하수처리장 방류수의 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 방류수 혼합 지점과 하류 지점에서 채집한 붕어의 아가미, 간, 콩팥의 과산화수소 분해효소(catalase)의 활동도는 상류 지점과 비교하여 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 혼합 지점의 아가미와 간의 글루타치온 S-전이효소(glutathione-S-transferase)의 활동도는 상류 지점과 비교하여 유의하게 높았으며(p < 0.05), 상류 지점보다 유의하게 더 증가된 간의 지질 과산화(lipid peroxidation)가 혼합 지점에서 관찰되었다. 붕어의 조직병리학적 손상의 정도는 간 > 콩팥 > 아가미순으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 간이 방류수의 영향을 가장 크게 받는다는 것을 의미한다. 붕어의 조직 손상도(degree of tissue changes)는 혼합 지점에서 채집한 시료(30.98 ± 5.40)에서 가장 컸으며, 그 다음은 하류 지점 시료(19.28 ± 4.31)이고 가장 낮은 것은 상류 지점 시료(4.83 ± 2.67)로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 혼합 지점에서 채집한 붕어가 방류수에 가장 큰 영향을 받았다는 것을 의미하며, 산화적 스트레스와 조직병리학적 지표들이 방류수로 오염된 하천을 모니터링하는데 유용하다는 것을 나타낸다.

해양방류시스템을 계획할 때 우선목표는 방류수의 초기희석을 극대화하는 것이다. 이를 효과적으로 달성하기 위해서는 방류수와 주변수의 혼합현상, 특히 초기혼합영역인 근역에 대한 특성분석이 선행되어야 한다. 최근까지 최적의 방류시스템(outfall system) 구현을 위하여 근역(NFR)에서의 온배수 방류에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있지만 온배수(heat discharge)와 염배수(brine discharge)를 동시에 방류할 경우를 고려한 성과물을 찾기는 어려운 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 온수와 염수를 동시에 고려한 방류시스템의 최적설계를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 방류수의 거동양상 특히, 근역에서의 혼합성을 분석하였다. 수치실험은 표면방류, 단일확산관 방류, 다공확산관 방류를 해당 해역의 법적 수질기준에 부합하는지 여부를 주로 평가하였다. 그 결과 표면방류와 단일확산관 방류는 방류형식이 부적절하였고, 다공확산관의 경우도 기하학적인 형상에 따라 결과가 조금 상이하였다.

We investigated fish species composition seasonally at the intake and discharge of Weolseong Nuclear Power Plant (WS-NPP) from February to November 2008 using a trammel net. At the intake, 121 individuals belonging to 28 species were collected, and 157 fish from 34 species were sampled at the WS-NPP discharge. Dominant species at the intake were Chelidonichthys spinosus (17.2%), Scomber japonicus (11.5%) and Ditrema temminckii (8.2%) at the intake, while Sillago japonica (18.5%), Chelidonichthys spinosus (13.4%) and Konosirus punctatus (8.3%) dominated at the discharge. The species count and diversity index at the discharge were highest during winter, whereas those at the intake were highest during spring, perhaps due to warm seawater at the discharge site. This study is the first to reveal an effect of effluent water on the aggregation of warm water fish species during winter.

The amount of municipal water has been increased rapidly up to now and it is necessary to treat and dispose the wastewater effectively. The recent trend of the effluent disposal system, after treatment, show a nearshore discharge which has an outfall with length somewhere between the shoreline discharge and an extended deepwater outfall. There is no universal solution to municipal water treatment and disposal and each case must be examined on its merits and on economic, technical and environmental bases. In this study we focused mostly on the scientific and engineering aspects of ocean disposal through the outfall. For this purpose, we made an investigation to the near-field characteristics of discharged water and made some comparison with the existing experimental results. We also applied it to the Pusan Jungang Effluent Outfall System, which is planned to build in the Gamchun harbour and will be completed in 2011. The model output showed the trajectoral variation of dilution and mixing behavior for three cases of outfall system. Dilution differences have been simulated and found the highest dilution condition under the different displacement of outfall system. On the basis of these outputs it will be proposed the optimum outfall system type and location.

As an useful water purification system for non-point source pollution in rural watersheds, interests in constructed wetlands are growing at home and abroad. It is well known that constructed wetlands are easily installed, no special managemental needs, and more flexible at fluctuating influent loads. They have a capacity for purification against nutrient materials such as phosphorus and nitrogen causing eutrophication of lentic water bodies. The Constructed Wetland Design Model (CWDM), developed through this study is consisted mainly of Database System, Runoff-discharge Prediction Submodel, Water Quality Prediction Submodel, and Area Assessment Submodel. The Database System includes data of watershed, discharge, water quality, pollution source, and design factors for the constructed wetland. It supplies data when predicting water quality and calculating the required areas of constructed wetlands. For the assessment of design flow, the GWLF (Generalized Watershed Loading Function) is used, and for water quality prediction in streams estimating influent pollutant load, Water Quality Prediction Submodel, that is a submodel of DSS-WQMRA model developed by previous works is amended. The calculation of the required areas of constructed wetlands is achieved using effluent target concentrations and area calculation equations that developed from the monitoring results in the United States. The CWDM is applied to Bokha watershed to appraise its application by assessing design flow and predicting water quality. Its application is performed through two calculations: one is to achieve each target effluent concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N and T-P, the other is to achieve overall target effluent concentrations. To prove the validity of the model, a comparison of unit removal rates between the calculated one from this study and the monitoring result from existing wetlands in Korea, Japan and United States was made. As a result, the CWDM could be very useful design tool for the constructed wetland in rural watersheds and for the non-point source pollution management.

삼천포 화력발전소에서는 냉각수로 이용되고 방류되는 해수를 이용한 소수력 발전소가 건설되고 있다. 소수력 발전소는 발전량을 최대화하기 위해서는 규모를 크게 하는 것이 바람직하나, 소수력 발전소가 방류수로의 기능을 저해하지는 않는 범위에서 결정하여야 하기 때문에 적정규모를 결정하기 위해서는 수리학적인 고려가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현재 방류수로의 흐름특성 자료를 이용하여 3차원 흐름모형인 FLOW3D모형을 구축하고, 구축된 모형을 이용하여 소수력 발전소의 규모에 따른 방류수로 상류 지점의 수위 증가 양상을 예측하였으며, 발전소 건설에 따른 흐름변화 양상도 분석하였다 삼천포 소수력발전소 건설은 상류의 수위증가를 유발하며, 설계유량 156톤/초, 발전소 가동보 높이 3.8 m 기준에 대한 방류수로 Weir 상류지점의 수위는 4.97 m로 현 상태 4.32 m 보다 65 cm 정도 증가하는 것으로 파악되었다.

In textile industries, waste effluent containing zinc is generated during the manufacture of rayon yarn from the wood pulp or cotton linters. Due to the strict environmental regulations and the presence of toxic metallic and other constituents, the discharge of industrial effluents in the sewage or disposal of solid sludge as landfill is restricted. Before recycling of zinc as zinc sulphate solution to the spinning-bath of the rayon manufacturing plant the zinc sulphate solution must be free from calcium, which is deleterious to the process as gypsum precipitates with the increase in concentration and forms scale in the bath. In the present work an attempt has been made to develop a process following solvent extraction technique using thiophosphinic extractants, Cyanex 272 and 302 modified with isodecanol and diluted in kerosene to recover zinc from rayon effluent. Various process parameters viz. extraction of zinc from different concentration of solution, distribution ratio, selective extraction, O/A ratio on extraction and stripping from the loaded organic, complex formation in the organic phase etc. have been studied to see the feasibility of the process. The extractant Cyanex 302 has been found selective for the recovery of 99.99% of zinc from the effluent above equilibrium pH 3.4 maintaining the O/A ratio of 1/30 leaving all the calcium in the raffinate. It selectively extracted zinc in the form of complex $[R_{2}Zn.3RH]_{org}$ and retained all the calcium in the aqueous raffinate. The zinc from the loaded Cyanex 302 can be stripped with 10% sulphuric acid at even O/A ratio of 10 without affecting the stripping efficiency. The stripped solution thus obtained could be recycled in the spinning bath of the rayon plant. The raffinate obtained after the recovery of zinc could be disposed safely without affacting environment.

In this study, an analysis of the characteristics of organic matter and nitrogenous oxygen demand (NOD) of 17 sewage effluent and wastewater treatments was conducted. High CODMn and carbonaceous biological oxygen demand (CBOD) concentrations were observed in the livestock treatment plants (LTP), wastewater treatment plants(WTP), and night soil treatment plants (NTP), but the highest NOD concentration and contribution rates of NOD to BOD5 were found in sewage treatment plants (STP). There was no significant difference in the CBOD/CODMn ratio for each of the six pollution source groups, but the LTPs, WTPs, and NTPs all showed relatively high CODMn concentrations in their effluent samples, indicating that they are facilities which discharge large amounts of refractory organic matter. The seasonal change of NOD in all facilities' effluent was found to be larger than the seasonal change of CBOD, and data results also revealed an elevation of NOD and NH3-N concentration from December to February, when the water temperature was low. There was no significant difference in NH3-N concentration in relation to pollution source group (p=0.08, one-way ANOVA), but the STP, which had a high NOD contribution rate to BOD5 of 48%, showed a high correlation between BOD5 and NOD (r2=0.95, p<0.0001). These results suggest that the effect of NOD on BOD5 is an important factor to be considered when analyzing STP effluent.
