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.

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.

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.

This research is to investigate the reaction kinetics by air-lift bioreactor using calcium hydroxide, the neutralization agent and immobilization media, for removing ethylene glycol remained after chemical pretreatment. It was found that the optimum hydraulic retention time was obtained as 24.2hours at the optimum F/M ratio of 1.32kg-$TCOD_{Mn}$/day.kg-MLVSS, and then, infiuent $TCOD_{Mn}$ and MLVSS concentration were 3,290mg/l and 2,472mg/l, respectively. During the steady state, the kinetics constants such as maximum specific substrate removal rate, half saturation velocity coefficient, yield coefficient and endogenous respiration coefficient were estimated in the base of $TCOD_{Mn}$ as substrate concentration. And they were 1.47day$^{-1}$, 3.95mg/l, 0.391 and 0.092day$^{-1}$, respectively. And also, the oxgen use coefficients for cell synthesis, a', and energy of maintenance, b', were obtained as 0.4kg-O$_{2}$/kg-$TCOD_{Mn}$ and 0.056day$^{-1}$, at the steady state by the experimental result of oxygen uptake rate.

Polyester 감량폐수의 주성분인 EG,TPA분해균을 분리하여 각각 Pseudomonas sp.로 동정하여 Pseudomonas sp. EAW, Pseudomonas sp. TS2로 명명하였다. 이 두 균주의 최적 배양조건은 pH 7.5, 온도 $35^{\circ}C$ 및 질소원은 ${(NH_4)}_2SO_4$ 이며, Strain EAW의 경우 niacin과 biotin, Strain TS2의 경우 $Na_2MoO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$와 thiamine이 각 균주의 성장과 분해율에 약간씩 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. Strain EAW는 접종량의 증가에 따라서 성장 및 EG의 분해시간이 현저히 감소하였으나 Strain TS2의 경우는 접종량이 증가하여도 성장 및 분해율이 큰 차이가 없었다. 또한 rich-medium에 계대배양한 각 균을 EG, T TPA액체배지에 접종하였을 때 계대배양의 회수가 증가함에 따라 Strain EAW가 Strain TS2보다 성장 및 분해율이 현저히 감소하였다. 실제 폐수에서 균들의 성장 및 분해율이 분리용 배지의 경우 보다는 약간 감소하였으며 EG, TPA 는 배양 48hr 후 $COD_{Mn}\;and\;COD_{Cr}$의 제거율은 89% 와 93%로 각각 나타났다. 회분배양시 EG,TPA의 초기농도가 25g/L 이상에서는 각 균주의 비성장속도가 감소하였다.
