Electrochemical noise signals in many cases exhibit a DC drift that should be removed prior to further data analysis. Polynomial fitting and moving average removal method have been used to remove trends of electrochemical noise (EN) in time domain. The corrosion inhibition of synthesized schiff base N,N'-bis(3,5-dihydroxyacetophenone)-2,2-dimethylpropandiimine on API-5L-X70 steel in hydrochloric acid solutions were used to study the effects of drifts removal methods on noise resistance calculation. Also, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to study the corrosion inhibition property of the inhibitor. The results showed that for the calculation of $R_n$, both methods were effective in trend removal and the polynomial with m=4 and MAR with p=40 were in agreement.

The removal efficiencies of organic substrates, nitrogen and phosphorus in the anaerobic-aerobic biological phosphorus removal process were investigated by addition of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid which are normal volatile fatty acids contained in anaerobic digester supernatants. Substrate utilization coefficients for the phosphorus release and uptake were also estimated. The effect of a VFA, which showed higher phosphorus removal efficiency than the other VFAs did, was also studied in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic biological nutrient removal process. For the anaerobic-aerobic process added by VFA, the phosphorus removal efficiencies were up to about 68%, 55% and 61% for the reactors of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid added, respectively, which indicates the efficiencies were increased by about 8-21%, comparing to that of 47% for the reactor with no VFA added. There were no significant difference in removal efficiencies for organic substrate and $NH_3-N$ without regard to addition of VFA. However, the removal efficiency of total nitrogen was increased in the case of VFA added, since $NO_3-N$ was less produced. For the anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic process added VFA, the removal efficiencies for $NH_3-N$ and $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ were increased by 5% and 13%, respectively, comparing with them in the reactors not added VFA.

축산폐수는 유기물 및 질소분의 농도가 높아 발생량에 비해 오염 부하량이 큰 폐수이다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 축산폐수에 고온호기성소화공정을 적용하여 고농도의 질소분의 제거효율을 조사해 보았다. 실험은 체류시간과 공기주입량을 변화시켜가며 수행하였다. 반연속식으로 운전된 본 실험 결과 높은 SCOD 제거효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 반면 TCOD의 경우 SCOD보다는 적은 제거율을 나타내었다. 질소분의 제거의 경우 HRT 3 days일 때 79%의 NH4-N이 제거되었으며, 체류시간이 감소하면서 그 제거량도 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다. 실험기간 중 수행된 가스분석에 있어서 유입된 질소분 중 일부가 N2O gas로 전환됨을 발견하였으며, 따라서 생물학적 탈암모니아가 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 실험기간 중 반응조 내에 NO2 및 NO3는 존재하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. HRT 3 days의 경우 유입된 질소 중 213.4%가 N20 gas로 전환되었으며, HRT 0.5 day 의 경우 4.5% 가 N2O gas로 변환되어 체류시간이 감소할수록 생물학적인 N2O gas 전환량이 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate removal efficiency of $NH_4-N$ using the soil column. Soil, oyster shell and natural zeolite were used as a supporting media of soil column. Removal efficiencies of $NH_4-N$ were $35.9\%,\;41\%\;and\;93.4\%$ for the soil column packed with soil, natural $zeolite(20\%)$ and oyster $shell(20\%)$ at HRT of 72 hours, respectively. The addition of $20\%$ oyster shell to the soil accelerated nitrification in soil column. The influent ammonia nitrogen was mostly converted to nitrate nitrogen in the soil column and little ammonia nitrogen was found in the effluent. When the influent $NH_4-N$ concentration was 200 mg/l, the NIL-N removal was decreased at HRT of 48 hours, while nitrification was significantly increased after mechanical aeration. It was suggested that nitrification from higher $NH_4-N$ concentration was more affected by aeration in soil column process. The number of nitrifiers was approximately in a level of about $10^6\;MPN/g{\cdot}soil$ in the soil column mixed with oyster shell ($20\%$).

Nitrogen removal, nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission and microbial community in sequencing batch and continuous-flow intermittent aeration processes were investigated. Two sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) and two continuous-flow multiple anoxic and aerobic reactors (CMRs) were operated under high dissolved oxygen (DO) (SBR-H and CMR-H) and low DO (SBR-L and CMR-L) concentrations, respectively. Nitrogen removal was enhanced under CMR and low DO conditions (CMR-L). The highest total inorganic nitrogen removal efficiency of 91.5% was achieved. Higher nitrifying and denitrifying activities in SBRs were observed. CMRs possessed higher $N_2O$ emission factors during nitrification in the presence of organics, with the highest $N_2O$ emission factor of 60.7% in CMR-L. SBR and low DO conditions promoted $N_2O$ emission during denitrification. CMR systems had higher microbial diversity. Candidatus Accumulibacter, Nitrosomonadaceae and putative denitrifiers ($N_2O$ reducers and producers) were responsible for $N_2O$ emission.

In order to treat groundwater containing high levels of nitrate, nitrate reduction by nano sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) was studied using batch experiments. Compared to nitrate removal efficiencies at different mass ratios of $nitrate/Fe^0$, the removal efficiency at the mass ratio of 0.02% was the highest(54.59%). To enhance nitrate removal efficiency, surface modification of nZVI was performed using metallic catalysis such as Pd, Ni and Cu. Nitrate removal efficiency by Cu-nZVI (at $catalyst/Fe^0$ mass ratio of 0.1%) was 66.34%. It showed that the removal efficiency of Cu-nZVI was greater than that of the other catalysts. The observed rate constant ($k_{obs}$) of nitrate reduction by Cu-nZVI was estimated to $0.7501min^{-1}$ at the Cu/Fe mass ratio of 0.1%. On the other hand, TEM images showed that the average particle sizes of synthetic nZVI and Cu-nZVI were 40~60 and 80~100 nm, respectively. The results imply that catalyst effects may be more important than particle size effects in the enhancement of nitrate reduction by nZVI.

본 연구는 다공성 소결체로 충진된 여상에 수생식물을 식재하여 오 폐수를 처리하는 기술로서, 수질오염물질의 고효율 처리를 위한 적정조건을 찾는데 연구목적을 두었다. 실험조건으로 수질오염물질(COD, T-N, T-P), 수생식물의 종류, 여재의 종류와 규격, 그리고 체류시간을 변화시켰다. 수질오염물질 중 COD는 $50{\sim}450mg/{\ell}$ 부하량 범위에서 73.8~87.1%의 처리효율을 보였으며, T-N은 7~124mg/L 범위에서 61.3~77.3%의 처리효율을, 그리고 T-P는 3~27mg/L 범위에서 89.5~99.1%의 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 3종류 수생식물의 수질오염물질처리 비교실험에서는 COD와 T-N 처리는 창포, 갈대, 미나리 순으로 나타났으며, T-P 처리는 갈대가 창포보다 약간 더 우수한 것으로 분석되었다. 4종류 여재의 수질오염물질처리 비교실험에서는 다공성 소결체, 콩자갈, 폐타이어, 폐콘크리트 순으로 나타났으며, 다공성 소결체 경우는 직경이 작을수록 더욱 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서, 창포가 식재된 직경 5mm의 다공성 소결체여상의 경우 24hr 체류시간과 COD $250mg/{\ell}$, T-N $70mg/{\ell}$ 그리고 T-P $15mg/{\ell}$의 부하량 조건에서 각각 80%, 70% 그리고 90% 이상의 처리효율을 얻을 수 있어서 수생식물 다공성 소결체여상은 생활하수와 같은 저오염부하량을 갖는 오 폐수처리에 적합한 친자연형 폐수처리기술이라고 결론지을 수 있다.

Nitrate($NO_3-N$) and total nitrogen(TN) removal by a reed wetland with open water(Wetland 1) was compared with that of a reed wetland without open water(Wetland 2) from March to October 2002. The two wetlands were 25mL by 6mW. An open water area, 3mL by 6mW was designed at the middle of Wetland 1. Reeds(Phragmites australis) were transplanted into the wetlands in June 2000. Water of Sinyang Stream flowing into the Kohung Estuarine Lake located in the southern part of Korea was pumped into a primary treatment pond, whose effluent was discharged into the secondary pond. Effluent from the secondary pond was funneled into the wetlands. Inflow into the wetlands averaged about 20.0$m^3$/day and their hydraulic retention time was approximately 1.5 days. Average $NO_3-N$ removal by Wetland 1 was 117.61mg/$m^2{\cdot}day$ and that by Wetland 2 was 106.39mg/$m^2{\cdot}day$. $NO_3-N$ removal efficiency of Wetland 1 and 2 was 37% and 34%, respectively. TN removal by Wetlands 1 and 2 averaged 226.80 and 214.54mg/$m^2{\cdot}day$, respectively. TN abatement efficiency of Wetland 1 was 43% and that of Wetland 2 was 40%. $NO_3-N$ removal efficiency of Wetland 1 was significantly higher(p=0.038) than Wetland 2. TN removal efficiency of Wetland 1 was also significantly higher(p=0.044) than Wetland 2. The wetland with open water was more efficient for removal of $NO_3-N$ and TN than one without.

Ettlia sp. YC001, a highly settleable and productive microalga, was shown to be effective in removing nutrients and capturing suspended solids from eutrophic pond water. The optimum conditions for the Ettlia sp. YC001 cultivation were investigated using water from a landscape pond. The pond water was supplemented with different N : P ratios by weight, and the biomass production and nutrient removal compared in batch cultures. The maximum removal rate of N and P was with an N : P ratio of 16 : 1. Plus, the turbidity dropped to near zero within 4 days. Meanwhile, chemostat cultivation showed that the biomass productivity and nutrient removal rate increased when increasing the dilution rate, where a dilution rate of $0.9d^{-1}$ showed the highest N and P removal rate at $32.4mg\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ and $1.83mg\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$, respectively, and highest biomass and lipid productivity at $0.432g\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$ and $67.8mg\;L^{-1}\;d^{-1}$, respectively. The turbidity was also reduced by 98% in the chemostat cultivation. Moreover, auto-flocculation and pH were closely connected to the turbidity removal. As a result, this study identified the optimal N : P ratio for small pond water treatment using an Ettlia sp. YC001, while also establishing the optimal conditions for nutrient removal, turbidity reduction, and biomass production.

본 연구지역은 전라남도에 위치한 고흥만 간척지 내 인공습지이며, 인공습지수와 주변 유입수의 수질특성을 파악하기 위해 2008년 3월 15일 및 2009년 1월 10일에 12개 지점에서 현장조사를 수행하였다. 수온, pH, DO, EC 및 salinity 항목은 현장측정 되었으며, 채수된 시료는 실내에서 TOC, Cl-, COD, TSS, T-P 및 T-N 성분을 분석하였다. 현장 관측된 5개 항목은 인공습지에 비해 유입지점들에서 높게 나타났으며, 이는 주변 농경 작지에서 유입되는 오염물질에 의한 것이다. 인공습지수와 유입수 내 농도비는 TOC 성분은 1월에, Cl 성분은 3 월에 더욱 높은 값을 보였다. COD 성분은 인공습지수에 대한 유입수의 농도비가 1.37배와 1.49배로서 유사하였다. 유입지점들에서 T-P와 T-N 성분의 평균값은 인공습지 내에서보다 3배 이상 높았으며, 인공습지의 자정능력에 의해 농도가 저감되었다. 본 연구지역의 인공습지에서는 유입수 내 Cl, T-P, T-N 성분의 정화효율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. Cl- 성분의 정화효율은 1차 관측 시 83%, 2차 관측 시 76% 이었으며, 이는 인공습지수에 의한 희석효과에 의한 것이다. T-P 성분의 정화효율은 67%(1차 관측)와 69%(2차 관측), T-N 성분은 100%(1차 관측)와 95%(2차 관측) 로서 매우 높았다. 본 연구에서 T-N의 정화효율이 비현실적으로 높은 것은 유입수의 양이 소량이어서 인공습지수 내에서는 질소 농도가 분석한계 이하로 나타났기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 T-P 성분의 정화효율이 1월에, T-N 성분은 3월에 높게 나타나 생장기와 동절기의 영향에 의한 것으로 판단된다.
