Phosphorus (P) removal by aluminum sulfate solution was investigated with varying pH and initial P concentrations. P removal was the highest at around pH 6. The pH range where P removal occurred was slightly wider at higher initial P concentrations. Compared to theoretical calculations, it was confirmed that $AlPO_4$ precipitation was the main reason for P removal at low pH. At high pH, where there should be no $AlPO_4$ precipitates, the P removal by adsorption of amorphous $Al(OH)_3$ precipitates was experimentally observed. The P removal by adding amorphous $Al(OH)_3$ precipitates prepared before the adsorption experiments, however, was lower than that by injecting aluminum sulfate solution because the prepared precipitates became larger, leading to less specific surface area available for adsorption. Ions other than sulfate had little influence on P removal.

연속반응조에서의 수소생산에 대한 pH의 영향을 HRT 10시간으로 유지하고, pH 4.1부터 8.0까지의 범위에서 조사하였다. 실험조건에서의 생성된 수소가스 성분은 41-71% 범위로 발생되었다. $H_2$/$CO_2$ 비율은 pH 6.0 이상에서는 크게 변화가 없었으나, 대체적으로 pH가 증가함에 따라 $H_2$/$CO_2$ 비율도 증가하였다. 최대 수소생성수율은 pH 5.0에서 3.16$\ell$/g sucrose이었다. Acetate 생성은 pH 증가에 따라 증가하였으나, butyrate 생성은 pH 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 미생물량은 pH 증가에 따라 증가하였다.

This study was initiated to isolate the microorganisms removing phosphorus (P) from domestic sewage and to investigate the effects of environmental factors on the growth and P removal of the isolated bacteria. Microorganisms isolated from the sewage were identified as Chryseobacterium sp., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Bacillus licheniformis. Among them, Bacillus licheniformis was selected as the P removal microorganism. The environmental factors considered in this study included initial phosphorus concentration, temperature, pH, and carbon source. At initial P concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 mg/L, the P removal efficiencies were 100.0%, 84.0%, and 16.5%, respectively. At 20℃, 30℃, and 40℃, the P removal efficiencies were 0%, 75.8%, and 60.6%, respectively. The removal efficiencies of phosphorus according to pH were 1.6%, 91.7%, and 51.1% at pH 5, pH 7, and pH 9, respectively. Using glucose, acetate, and glucose + acetate as carbon sources yielded P removal efficiencies of 80.9%, 33.6%, and 54.1%, respectively. Therefore, the results from the study demonstrated that the P removal efficiencies of Bacillus licheniformis were the highest when the initial P concentration, temperature, pH, and carbon source were 10 mg/L, 30℃, 7, and glucose, respectively.

Dinitrophenol is preventing cells from making energy for growth and it has been suggested that pH may be important in mitigating effects of uncouplers. The effect of pH on toxicity of dinitrophenol at high concentration was investigated, over a pH range of 5.7 to 8.7. DNP inhibition was found to be strongly dependent on mixed liquor pH. The DNP degradation rate was highest in the pH range of 7.0 to 7.8; at pH 6.0 degradation of 0.41 mM dinitrophenol was significantly inhibited; at pH <5.7, dinitrophenol degradation was completely inhibited after approximately 25% of the dinitrophenol was degraded. However no significant effect of pH variation was seen on glucose uptake by the activated sludge mixed culture.

Among many microalgae cultivation types, heterotrophic culture with low cost carbon sources and energy saving culture method is crucial. A result of estimating the effects of pH on wastewater treatment using heterotrophic growing microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana shows that there was no difference in microalgae growth amount and nitrogen, phosphorus removal rate by wide range of pH(5 ~ 9). From pH 5 to 9, total nitrogen, phosphorous and glucose removal rates were 10.5 mg-N/L/d, 2 mg-P/L/d, 800 ~ 1000 mg/L respectively. This study reveals that C. sorokiniana cannot metabolite glycerol heterotrophically, however, glucose and acetate were proper carbon sources for growth and T-N, T-P and TOC removal. This research highlights the potential of heterotrophic microalgal growth with wastewater treatment plant with wide range of pH and carbon sources.

본 연구는 혐기성 발효에 의한 수소 생산 시 pH가 3에서 10까지 단계적으로 변화되는 조건에서 미생물의 군집 변화를 살펴보기 위해 PCR-DGGE를 실시하였다. 최대 수소생산 수율은 pH 5에서 1.8 mol $H_2$/mol substrate로 측정 되었으며, 각 pH에서 미생물의 성장량과 수소생산효율의 비례적 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 각 pH에서 채취된 미생물의 16S rDNA을 target으로 한 PCRDGGE를 수행한 결과, pH 조건에 따라 미생물의 군집 조성에 변화가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 미생물 종의 대부분은 Klebsiella 속으로 규명되었으며 Streptococcus 속과 Clostridium 속 미생물이 수소생산 효율에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 음폐수를 이용 낮은 유기물 부하율에서 소화조 내부 pH 조절 유무에 따른 소화조 운전의 바이오가스 발생량 및 미생물 군집도 변화에 대한 비교 분석했다. 그 결과, 내부 pH를 조절하지 않은 반응조는 pH, Free ammonia, Volatile fatty acid의 증가에 의한 반응조 안정성이 떨어짐에도 불구하고 내부 pH 조절 반응조와 비슷한 바이오가스 전환율을 보였다. 이는 미생물 군집도 분석 결과에 따르면 외부환경에 대한 내성이 강한 Methanosarcina sp.의 우점에 의해 반응조의 안정성을 유지할 수 있었던 것으로 나타났다.

A self-oscillating interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) poly(acrylic acid)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PAA/PEG) hydrogel was prepared by using radical polymerization with a two-step method. The IPN hydrogel was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and morphological analysis. The results indicated that the chains of PEG and PAA twined to form porous structure which is beneficial to water molecules entering inside of the hydrogel. In addition, the pH-responsive behavior, salt sensitivity, swelling/de-swelling oscillatory behaviors and self-oscillation in a closed pH oscillator were also studied. The results showed that the prepared hydrogel exhibited pH-sensitivity, good swelling/de-swelling reversibility and excellent salt sensitivity. The self-oscillating behavior of swelling/de-swelling for the prepared hydrogel was caused by pH alteration coupled with the external media. This study may create a new possibility as biomaterial including new self-walking actuators and other related devices.

공기 폭기법을 통해 암모니아를 제거함에 있어, 반응조의 물리적 인자(폭기 깊이, 공기 방울 크기, 표면적)와 알칼리도가 암모니아의 제거 속도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 30 L/min의 공기를 6~53 cm의 폭기 깊이로 실험한 결과, 폭기 깊이는 암모니아 제거 속도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. pH가 10.0, 온도가 $30^{\circ}C$에서 암모니아의 제거 속도 상수와 표준편차는 각각 $0.175h^{-1}$, 0.004로 나타났다. 공기 방울의 크기 및 공기상과 접촉하는 수표면의 표면적은 제거 속도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 폐수의 알칼리도는 암모니아 제거 속도에 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 폭기에 의해 이산화탄소가 수용액에 용존되어 pH를 변화시킬 수 있기 때문인 것으로 예상된다. 매립지와 하수 종말 처리장에서 채취한 실제 폐수를 대상으로 암모니아 제거 속도를 살펴보았다. 하수 원수(pH = 7.1, alkalinity = 75 mg/L)의 경우, pH를 9.3으로 조절하여도 암모니아 제거 속도가 크게 증가하지 않았다. 그러나, 알칼리도가 높은 침출수 원수(pH = 8.0, alkalinity = 6,525 mg/L)는 초기 pH가 낮음에도 불구하고, 공기 폭기에 따른 pH 상승으로 인해 암모니아 제거 속도가 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 침출수 원수의 pH를 9.4로 조절한 경우, 하수 원수와 달리 공기 폭기에 따른 pH 저하가 나타나지 않아 암모니아 제거 속도가 유지 되었다.

The purpose of this study is the understanding to changes in the characteristic of soil structure and classification, atterberg limits, undrained shear strength and consolidation of clayey soil dependent on pH of soil pore water. A series of tests including consistency tests, uniaxial compressive tests, vane tests and oedometer tests are performed on. The test results indicated that pH changes in the soil pH resulted in changes in the soil structure and classification, stress-strain behavior. Specially, when pH is conditioned to 7, liquid limit, undrained shear strength and preconsolidation pressure are the largest.
