Terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol resulting form the weight-reduction process of polyester make trouble in the operation of activated sludge process. Also, polyester weight loss wastewater shows high pH, high organic strength and wide variation of organic loading. Therefore, this study was conducted in order to improve treatment efficiency by activated sludge process with Pseudomonas sp degrading components of polyester weight loss wastewater. The CO $D_{Mn}$ and BO $S_{5}$ of the waste wastewater were 560~3,000 mg/$\ell$ and 8000~3,000 mg/$\ell$, respectively. pH was 11.8~12.3. COD removal efficiency by activated sludge-coagulation process with Pseudomonas sp was 94.1~95.8% for 35 hr of hydraulic retention time. Total organic carbon removal efficiency was 97.1%. Ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid in the wastewater were completely degraded during 32 hr of hydraulic retention time.e.

This study carried out batch and continuous experiments using calcium hydroxide as neutralization agent and immobilization media for removing the ethylene glycol in the pretreated polyester weight loss wastewater. The $TCOD_{Mn}$ concentration in the treated wastewater using culture of iramobilization and suspension for the synthetic wastewater were found as 650mg/l and 1,250mg/l after 48hours, respectively. SVI(Sludge Volume Index) and $TCOD_{Mn}$ concentration were 74 and 73mg/l at optimum F/M ratio, 1.32kg-TCO $D_{Mn}$ /day. kg-MLVSS. The $TCOD_{Mn}$ concentration and removal efficiency were 213mg/l and 93.5% by continuous experiments in the air-lift bioreactor, respectively. The $TCOD_{Mn}$ concentration was 82mg/l, and also the MLVSS concentration was 2,550mg/l, when the volumetric loading rate was 3.04kg-$TCOD_{Mn}/m^{2}$ day for real polyester weight loss wastewater.

Organic wastewater generated from polyester manufacturing processes was selected from H company to investigate the feasibility of anaerobic digestion that produces gases including methane. Bio Methane Potential (BMP) tests were conducted to measure the gas production and methane concentration for 7 process wastewater and 2 kinds of sludges from the H company. Also, along with monitoring pH and alkalinity during the anaerobic digestion process, the concentrations of COD and 1,4-dioxane were measured with 4 different operating conditions for N Emulsion (NE) and Ethylene Glycol (EG) wastewater. The BMP tests showed that 65% of methane was produced from NE and EG wastewater. This suggests that the organic wastewater from H company can be effectively treated by an anaerobic digester by which more than 90% of COD was removed.

The objective of this study was to investigate biodegradation of TPA(terephthalic acid) and EG (ethylene glycol), treatment efficiency of polyester weight loss wastewater and microbial characteristics by aerated submerged biolfilm(ASB) p.rocess. In a batch reactor, pH increased from 7.0 to 8. 5 in the biodegradation of TPA. Whereas, in case of EG, decreased from 7.0 to 5.2. COD concentration rapidly decreased within 24hr in the biodegradation of TPA and EG. COD removal velocity constant(k) were 0.065-0.088 hr$^{-1}$. The biodegradation velocity of TPA was 1.4 times faster than that of EG. The ratio of suspended biomass to the total biomass in the reactor was 18.3-33.3%, increased as a high ratio of EG content. Biofilm thickness, biofilm dry density and attached biomass were 346-432 $\mu$m, 41.8-61.9 mg/cm$^3$, 1.45-2.67 mg/cm$^2$, respectively. There values increased as a high ratio of TPA content. In the hydraulic retention time of 36 hr, organic loading rate of 4 kgCOD/m$^3\cdot$ day and packing ratio of 70%, the effluent concentrations of TCOD, SCOD in a continuous flow reator were 1,388 mg/l, 147 mg/l and removal efficiencies were 77%, 97.6%, respectively.

The Wastewater from the weight reduction process of polyester is more difficult to be treated biologically than the general wastewater from dyeing and finishing processes in textile industries. Above wastewater shows high pH, high organic strength and wide variation of organic loading. These characteristics are due to TPA and EG resulting from alkaline weight-reduction process and make trouble in the operation of activated sludge process. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop the pretreatment method for the successful operation of treatment process. For the successful pretreatment process, the wastewater from weight-reduction process should be segregated from other wastewater stream and then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid to precipitate out TPA from DST solution. At the optimum pH of 2. 2, the initial $COD_{cr}$ 60,000mg/l is reduced to 11,500mg/l and the removal efficiency of $COD_{cr}$ is 81.1%. The required amount of sulfuric acid for pretreatment is not greater than the amount for the the existing neutralization process. Moreover, the supernatant of pretreatment process can be reused in acidification of wastewater.

염색가공공정은 에너지 다소비형이며, 염색조업을 수행하는 과정에서 약 4$0^{\circ}C$ 정도의 열원폐수를 다량으로 방출하고 있지만 이를 회수할 수 있는 기술개발이 이루어지지 않아서 아직 미활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 열원폐수의 열을 회수하여 이용할 수 있는 방안을 마련하기 위하여 먼저 염색공정의 특성을 고찰하고. 직물별, 공정별 에너지원단위를 조사한 결과 상대적으로 에너지원같위가 높은 T/C, T/R 교직물 업체나 폴리에스테르 염색업체에서 폐수열을 회수하여 이용하기에 적합한 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고 염색업체별, 계절별 폐수의 배출량과 온도를 조사한 결과 각 업체당 평균 폐수배출량은 20,470톤/월이고, 평균폐수온도는 41.$0^{\circ}C$로 나타났다 또한, 배관 침적, 폐쇄 등으로 폐열회수시스템의 안정적 운전이나 열교환기의 성능에 악영향을 끼칠 수 있는 SS의 경우 폴리에스테르 염색폐수가 가장 낮아 폴리에스테르 염색폐수가 폐열회수에 가장 유리할 것으로 판단되었다. 염색공장에서 기존에 사용하고 있는 시스템과 폐수열이용 시스템의 에너지단가를 비교해보면 폐열회수시스템에서 압축식 열펌프를 적용하면 에너지단가는 22.50원이 되어 매우 경제적이며, 증기생산을 위한 보일러 연료로 LNG를 사용하는 업체에 압축식 폐열회수시스템을 적용할 경우가 투자비 회수기간이 2.09년으로 경제성이 매우 우수한 것으로 나타나 열펌프시스템의 적용기술을 보급할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다.

A large quantity of ethylene glycol(EG) is remained in the effluent after pretreating polyester weight-loss wastewater physicochemically in the fist stage and must be treated biologically in the second stage. Therefore, an excellent EG-utilizing bacteria strain was isolated from the natural system and the optimal culture conditions of the strain were investigated. The optimal culture conditions of temperature, pH, and nitrogen source were found to be 35$^{\circ}C$, 7.5 and ammonium chloride, respectively, when CODCr removal efficiency was more than 90%. The growth of stains and EG removal efficiency was slightly improved by adding elements such as niacin and biotin. With increasing inoculation size in a batch culture, the removal efficiency of EG was conspicuously increased. Growth rate was inhibited when the initial concentration of EG was more then 30g/L. The strain was identified as Pseudomonas sp. based on morphological and biological characteristics and named as Pseudomonas sp. EG1.

In order to investigate the characteristics of the non-biodegradable material, the $BOD_5/COD_{Cr}$ ratio was used. The average ratio of industrial complex's influent wastewater was 2.29~2.96, the effluent ratio was 4.29~19.0. The removal efficiency of $UV_{254}$ by physicochemical treatment was 22.8~94.7% and 5.3~77.2% by biological treatment, respectively. Of the wastewater removal efficiency for each of the items, the $BOD_5$ treatment efficiency was the greatest at 97.3% and the color & TN treatment efficiency was 40~70%. The study of the economical assessment showed that the complex as well as the individual companies spent 722~1,298 won for each ton of treated wastewater. All of the wastewater treatment facilities spent the most money on chemicals needed to treat the wastewater. The total cost for Nylon manufacturing wastewater treatment plant was the greatest while the total cost for cotton manufacturing wastewater treatment plant turned out to the lowest. As respects of removal efficiency and economocal assessment, Polyester A and Cotton manufacturing wastewater treatment plants were better effective than a dyeing industrial complex wastewater treatment plant.

This study was conducted to remove the color in dyeing wastewater by ozone oxidation process, and the results were summarized as follows ; The 18.3％ of BOD and 56.3％ TOC were removed as decreasing with pH 1 in dyeing wastewater, containing the polyester reducing process. It showed that terephthalic acid was precipitated at low pH. The color of dyeing wastewater was removed by the first order reaction, and the reaction rate constants at pH 3, 7, 12 were investigated $0.234{\;}min^{-1},{\;}0.215{\;}min^{-1}{\;}and{\;}0.201{\;}min^{-1}$ respectively. It showed that color was more effectively removed with direct reaction of ozone than radical reaction(non-direct reaction). As increasing of the water temperature, the reaction rate constants were increased slightly. It indicated that activity of ozone was improved at high water temperature.
