In activated sludge process, sludge settling condition is affected by organic loading rate or operation condition, and if settling condition is getting worse, it is common that overall process fails due to wash-out of biomass causing low concentration in the aeration tank. Also activated sludge process has such several problems as requiring large area, consuming a lot of power and producing large volume of sludge. Increased public concern over health and the environment combined with a strong desire to reduce capital, operating and maintenance costs, have created a need for innovative technologies for building new high quality effluents which vail meet 21st century crkeria. MBR(Membrane Bioreactor) process consists of a biological reactor and ultrafiltration(UF) membrane system that replaces the conventional clarifier of an activated sludge process. The main operating advantages of this system are that the quality of the effluent is independent of the settleability of the mixed liquor and that the effluent is free of suspended solids in any operating condition. It is possible to eliminate clarifier and to reduce the volume of aeration tank because it can afford to accumulate high biomass concentration in the bioreactor(20, 000~30, 000mg/L), which would not be possible in a conventional activated sludge process. Therefore, this process reduces overall treatment plant area. In addition to those advantages, Longer SRT condition enables higher sludge digestion in MBR process so the sludge volume produced is 50 to 70% lower than that of conventional activated sludge process There are two kinds of MBR process according to the allocations of membrane. One is cross flow type MBR of which module is located outside of the bioreactor and mixed liquor is driven into the membrane module. The other is submerged type MBR process of which module is submerged in the bioreactor and mixed liquor is generally sucked from the lumen side. addition to that the cake layer is often removed by the uplifting flow of bubbling air. A submerged MBR process is superior to a crossflow MBR in regard to the power consumption because suction pressure of a submerged MBR is generally lower than that of a crossflow MBR which has recirculation pump. A submerged MBR, therefore, has the potential to be applied to small wastewater treatment plants that need low cost treatment systems.

본 연구에서는 페놀 분해 능력이 있는 활성슬러지 를 광경화성 수지에 포괄 고정화하여 페놀 분해에 미치는 영향인자에 대하여 조사 검토하였다. 고정화 활성슬러지의 경우 free 활성슬러지 보다 넓은 pH 범위에서 페놀 분해 상대활성도가 높게 나 타났￡며, 고정화비드 직경이 작을수록 페놀분해 시 간이 짧았다. 페놀농도 2000 mg/L까지는 free 활 성슬러지의 분해시간이 짧았으나, 3000 mg/L에서 는 고정화 활성슬러지의 분해능이 높았다. 고정화비 드 주입량에 따른 페놀 분해성은 반융기 내에 주입 된 고정화비드양에 정비례 하지는 않았으나 주입량 이 많을수록 페놀 처리율이 높았다. 고정화 활성슬 러지의 반융에서는 반복샤용 7회 이상일 때의 상대 활성도는 처음의 약 8배 정도 증가하였다. 고정화 활성슬러지를 합성폐수 또는 증류수에서 진탕 또는 정지상태로 20일간 보관한 후에는 700 mg/L의 페놀이 24시간 후면 거의 분해되었으며, 증 류수에 정지된 상태로, 40일간 보관한 후에는 마찬가지로 24시간 후에 96.7 % 이상이 분해되었다. 또 한 고정화 활성슬러지를 합성폐수에서 호기적으로 보존하면 80일간 보존이 가능하였다. 고정화 활성슬러지를 사용한 연속처리에서는 용적 부하 5.59 kg-phenol/m3.d에서 95 % 이상의 페놀 이 제거되었으며, 연속실험에서 페놀제거 효율이 95 % 이상일 때 처리성척을 비교해보면, 고정화 활성 슬러지 빛 free 활성슬러지 용척부하는 각각 7.46, 3 3.72 kg-phenol/m3.day로써 고정화 활성슬러지가 2배 더 높은 부하에서 처리가 가능하였다.

This study was investigated to evaluate the effect of the sodium ion and pH on toxicity of dinitrophenol at high concentrations (0.41 to 0.54 mM), over a sodium concentration range of 0.1 mM to 107 mM and over a pH range of 5 to 9. The concentration of sodium ions in the activated sludge mixed liquor seemed to have very little effect on dinitrophenol toxicity. However, lack of sodium in the growth media resulted in a reduction of the dinitrophenol degradation rate by bacterial isolate from the activated sludge culture, which has been identified as Nocardia asteroides. Dinitrophenol inhibition was found to be strongly dependent on mixed liquor pH. The dinitrophenol degradation rate was highest in the pH range of 6.95 to 7.84; at pH 5.94 degradation of 75 mg/L dinitrophenol was significantly inhibited; at pH < 5.77, dinitrophenol degradation was completely inhibited after approximately 30% of the dinitrophenol was degraded.

Substrate inhibition of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) degradation was investigated using activated sludge which had been adapted to mineralize DNP. DNP is a metabolic uncoupler, preventing cells from making energy for growth and it has been suggested that pH may be important in mitigating effects of uncouplers. After acclimation of the activated sludge, the effect of pH on toxicity of DNP at high concentration (75 mg/L) was investigated, over a pH range of 5 to 9. DNP inhibition was found to be strongly dependent on mixed liquor pH. The DNP degradation rate was highest in the pH range of 6.95 to 7.84; at pH 5.94 degradation of 75 mg/L DNP was significantly inhibited; at pH < 5.77, DNP degradation was completely inhibited after approximately 30% of the DNP was degraded. By comparison, no significant effect of pH variation in the same range was seen on glucose uptake by the activated sludge culture.

The thermophilic aerobic digestion (TAD) process is recognized as an effective method for rapid waste activated sludge (WAS) degradation and the deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. Yet, high energy costs due to heating and aeration have limited the commercialization of economical TAD processes. Previous research on autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) has already reduced the heating cost. However, only a few studies have focused on reducing the aeration cost. Therefore, this study applied a two-step aeration control strategy to a fill-and-draw mode semicontinuous TAD process. The NADH-dependent fluorescence was monitored throughout the TAD experiment, and the aeration rate shifted according to the fluorescence intensity. As a result, the simple two-step aeration control operation achieved a 20.3% reduction in the total aeration, while maintaining an effective and stable operation. It is also expected that more savings can be achieved with a further reduction of the lower aeration rate or multisegmentation of the aeration rate.

The treatment performances of anaerobic-aerobic activated sludge process were investigated under various operation conditions. The treatment system proposed in this study gave a relatively stable performance against hourly change of the flow rate and showed a satisfactory removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds under experimental conditions. The average removal efficiency of total nitrogen gradually decreased as the influent total nitrogen concentration was increased. High C/N ratio of the wastewater was required for the complete removal of nitrogen. Glucose as a carbon source was more efficient than starch and the removal ability for all components become higher with the increase of the fraction of glucose.

판지공장 인쇄폐수에 무산소 활성오니공정을 적용한 결과 $TCOD_{Mn}=90{\sim}94%$, $Color=58{\sim}81%$의 높은 제거효율을 얻었다. 산업현장 판지공장 폐수에 대한 무산소 활성오니공정의 설계분석을 위하여 Monod식에 의한 동력학적계수를 추정한 결과 $K_{max}$(최대 기질제거속도)=0.52 $day^{-1}$, $K_s$(반포화 기질농도)=314 mg/L, $K_d$(내생호흡계수)=0.274 $day^{-1}$, y(미생물의 합성계수)=0.908 mg/mg, ${\mu}_{max}$(최대 비생장속도)=0.472 $day^{-1}$로 산출되었다. 설계분석을 위한 부하인자의 값은 F/M비=$0.043{\sim}0.07$ kg-$TCOD_{Mn}$/kg-SS-day, BOD 용적부하=$0.18{\sim}0.3$ kg-$TCOD_{Mn}/m^3-day$, ${\theta}_x$(미생물 체류시간)=$=6.8{\sim}26.4$ day로 현장 검증되었다. 이러한 부하인자의 값을 미생물의 성장 동력학과 연계시켜 볼 때 F/M비는 ${\theta}_x$에 반비례하고, 단위측면에서 F/M비는 ${\mu}_{max}$와 같아야 하나 F/M비와 ${\mu}_{max}$는 상당한 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 미생물의 성장 동력학을 이용한 무산소 활성오니공정을 설계하고자 할 때에는 충분한 안전율이 요구되는 것으로 사료되었다.

This study was carried out to apply some basic physical and chemical treatment options including Fenton's oxidation, and to evaluate the performances and the characteristics of organic and nitrogen removal using lab-scale biological treatment system such as complete-mixing activated sludge and sequencing batch reactor(SBR) processes for the treatment of leachate from a municipal waste landfill in Gyeongnam province. The results were as follows: Chemical coagulation experiments using aluminium sulfate, ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride resulted in leachate CO $D_{Cr}$ removal of 32%, 23% and 21 % with optimum reaction dose ranges of 10,000～15,000 mg/$\ell$, 1,000 mg/$\ell$ and 500～2,000 mg/$\ell$, respectively. Fenton's oxidation required the optimum conditions including pH 3.5, 6 hours of reaction time, and hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate concentrations of 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$ each with 1:1 weight ratio to remove more than 50% of COD in the leachate containing CO $D_{Cr}$ between 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$. Air-stripping achieved to remove more than 97% of N $H_3$-N in the leachate in spite of requiring high cost of chemicals and extensive stripping time, and, however, zeolite treatment removing 94% of N $H_3$-N showed high selectivity to N $H^{+}$ ion and much faster removal rate than air-stripping. The result from lab-scale experiment using a complete-mixing activated sludge process showed that biological treatability tended to increase more or less as HRT increased or F/M ratio decreased, and, however, COD removal efficiency was very poor by showing only 36% at HRT of 29 days. While COD removal was achieved more during Fenton's oxidation as compared to alum treatment for the landfill leachate, the ratio of BOD/COD after Fenton's oxidation considerably increased, and the consecutive activated sludge process significantly reduced organic strength to remove 50% of CO $D_{Cr}$ and 95% of BO $D_{5}$ . The SBR process was generally more capable of removing organics and nitrogen in the leachate than complete-mixing activated sludge process to achieve 74% removal of influent CO $D_{Cr}$ , 98% of BO $D_{5}$ and especially 99% of N $H_3$-N. However, organic removal rates of the SBR processes pre-treated with air-stripping and with zeolite were not much different with those without pre-treatment, and the SBR process treated with powdered activated carbon showed a little higher rate of CO $D_{Cr}$ removal than the process without any treatment. In conclusion, the biological treatment process using SBR proved to be the most applicable for the treatment of organic contents and nitrogen simultaneously and effectively in the landfill leachate.e.

Wastewater from the pigment industry has high levels of organics and is known as hardly biodegradable. The objective of this study is to evaluate the applicability of aerobic fixed-bed boifilm reactor packed with ceramic support carrier for the pigment wastewater treatment. Orange 2(widely used azo pigment) adsorption experiment onto biofilm and activated sludge, and continuous treatment experiments were performed. In batch adsorption experiment, maximum adsorption quantity of biofilm was at least two times higher than that of activated sludge. In continuous experiment using aerobic fixed-bed biodilm reactor, the influent concentration of COD and Orange 2 were 75~500mg/${\ell}$(0.45~3.00kg COD/$m^3.day), 5~50mg/$\ell$(0.03~0.30kg Orange 2/$m^3$.day), respectively. At a COD loading rate 2.5kg COD/$m^3$.day and Orange 2 loading rate of 0.18kg Orange 2/$m^3$.day, removal efficiency of COD and Orange 2 were over 95%, 97%, respectively.
