China is one of the countries with the highest reserves of coal bed methane (CBM) in the world. Likewise, the CBM industry is significantly growing in China. However, activities related to CBM development have led to more environmental problems, which include serious environmental damage and pollution caused by CBM-produced water. In this paper, the detailed characteristics of CBM-produced water in the southern Qinshui Basin were investigated and analyzed and compared with local surface water and coal mine drainage. Most of CBM-produced water samples are contaminated by higher concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS), K (Potassium), Na (Sodium) and $NH_4$. The alkalinity of the water from coalmines and CBM production was higher than that of the local surface water. The concentrations of some trace elements such as P (Phosphorus), Ti (Titanium), V (Vanadium), Cr (Chromium), Ni (Nickel), Zn (Zinc), Ge (Germanium), As (Arsenic), Rb (Rubidium), and Pd (Palladium) in water from the coalmines and CBM production are higher than the acceptable standard limits. The ${\delta}D$ and ${\delta}^{18}O$ values of the CBM-produced water are lower than those of the surface water. Similarly, the ${\delta}D$ values of the CBM-produced water decreased with increasing drainage time.

Oil이나 Gas생산시 발생하는 Produced water의 양은 미국 내에서만 연간 수십억 배럴에 육박한다. 이러한 Produced water의 재이용을 위한 첫 번째 과제는 유해 유기물질을 제거하는 것으로, 본 연구에서는 수중의 BTEX를 가스상태로 변화시킨 후 Vapor phase biofilter (VPB)로 분해, 제거 효능을 평가하였다. VPB 시스템은 짧은 기간의 시스템 shutdown에는 거의 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 주입 되는 농도가 Peak 형태를 가질때는 제거효능의 저하가 관찰 되었으며, 이중 Benzene이 가장 민감하게 반응하였다. 이를 위한 해결책으로 GAC로 충진된 Buffering Column이 사용되었으며, 이는 peak 형태의 유입농도 Profile을 완만한 형태로 buffering하는 역할을 하였다. 현장 적용을 통하여, 본 시스템이 Produced water내에 존재하는 용존 BTEX를 효과적으 로 제거할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

격막식 전해조에서 전해질(염화나트륨, 탄산칼륨 등)을 첨가시킨 수용액을 전해하여 음극에서 생산되는 강알카리성 전해수는 세정효과가 있고, 친환경적이어서 화학적 세정제의 대체물질로 검토되고 있다. 일본에서는 일부 자동차나 정밀부품업계 등에서 세정제로 사용되고 있다. 격막식 전해조를 사용하여 강알카리성전해수를 생산할 경우 필연적으로 양극에서 강산성전해수가 생성된다. 생성되는 강산성전해수는 용도를 찾지 못할 경우 배출되어 폐기되므로 결과적으로 전해수의 생산효율이 저하된다. 또한 격막의 오염으로 인하여 전해효율이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하고자 전극반응실과 희석실이 일체화된 무격막 일체형 전해조를 사용하고 전해질의 조성을 변화시키면서 강알카리성전해수를 생성하였으며, 이의 물성 및 특성을 확인하였다. 격막식 전해조에서 생산된 강알카리성전해수와 일체형 전해조에서 생산된 강알카리성전해수의 물성을 비교한 결과 산화환원전위(oxidation reduction potential, ORP), 염소농도에서 차이가 관찰되었다. 계면활성력을 확인하기위한 유화시험에서도 유사한 결과를 얻었으며 이로부터 무격막 일체형 전해조에서 생산된 강알카리성 전해수는 격막식 전해조에서 생산된 강알카리성 전해수처럼 세정용도로 사용 가능함을 확인하였다. 방청력 시험에서는 격막식 전해조에서 생산된 강알카리성 전해수가 우수함을 확인하였다. 무격막 일체형 전해조에서 생산된 강알카리성 전해수는 격막식 전해조에서 생산된 강알카리성 전해수와 달리 유효염소를 함유하고 있어 살균력을 보유하고 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Produced water is the largest wastestream of oil and gas exploration. It consists of various organic and inorganic compounds that hinder its beneficial use. This study compared the treatment of produced water in a batch suspended and biofilm activated sludge process. The biofilm carrier material was made from Gardenia Carinata shell. COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $NO_3-N$ removal was monitored in both the suspended (control) and floating carrier bioreactors. The results show a rapid reduction of produced water constituents in the floating carrier bioreactor. COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $NO_3-N$ removal was in the range of 99%, 98% and 97% for the floating carrier bioreactor whereas it was 88%, 84% and 83% for the control bioreactor. The rapid reduction of COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $NO_3-N$ clearly indicate that the floating carrier materials served as an attached growth medium for microorganisms, improved the breakdown of produced water constituents and reduced inhibition of microbial metabolic activities.

오일 생산 과정에서 발생하는 부산물인 생산수(produced water)는 오일폐수(oily wastewater)의 대부분을 차지하기 때문에 환경적인 측면이나 자원적인 관점에서 볼 때, 생산수에서 오일성분을 추출 및 제거하는 기술은 매우 중요하다. 생산수 처리기술은 크게 물리적 방법과 생물학적 방법 그리고 화학적 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 생산수의 오일제거 기술의 분류, 장단점 분석과 함께 연도별, 국가별, 출원인별, 세부기술별로 기술동향 특허분석을 하였다.

Purpose of this research is to quantitatively and qualitatively investigate the blow down wastewater produced from Yeosu Industrial Complex. Approximately, 38,325,000 tons/year of wastewater is produced, processed and finally discharged. Six representative companies, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F were chosen for this study. Each company produce over 5,000 tons/day of wastewater. In total, 6,844 tons/day of blow down water is produced from these six companies, put together. However, companies A and C produce about 24% and 37% of blow down water, respectively. It was found that the blow down water had favorable qualities, except for its high conductivity, ranging from 230 to $1,700{\mu}s/cm$. It was evident that, this water can be suitable for reuse, for industrial purposes, if a suitable treatment, for example, RO membrane process is adopted to remove high conductivity.

Increasing water consumption produced sludge problems of the water treatment plants. The objective of this study is to investigate aluminium coagulants recovery n acidic and alkaline conditions. Water treatment plant sludge produced in Pusan Metropolitan City were tested for the aluminium extraction process. Experiment samples were obtained in summer from water treatment plants of Deoksan and Myongjang. Aluminium coagulants used in these plants during the test period were polyaluminium chloride(PAC), polyaluminium sulfate organic(PSO), polyaluminium sulfate silicate(PASS). Aluminium contents of water treatment sludge were in the range of 7.2~10.9% of the total solids. The recovery percentages for aluminium and iron by acidic extraction method was evaluated to 88% and 42% respectively. Extracted mass variation for other materials such as iron, manganese, total organic carbon was observed during the extraction operation. Alkaline extraction produced more than two times amount of total organic carbon than that in the acidic extraction process.

The recycled washwater, which has different water quality and is produced about 5 to 20% of the total water volume treated, affects the unit operation of water treatment, especially coagulation process. However, the effects of recycled washwater on unit operation of water treatment have not been fully investigated. In this study, effects of recycled washwater on coagulation process were investigated to find the optimum coagulation condition by analyzing turbidity, $UV_{254}$, TOC removal efficiencies. In addition, effects of recycled washwater on residual Al after coagulation were studied by analyzing soluble and particulate Al. The size distribution and fractal dimension of coagulated also analyzed. The recycled washwater was lower pH than the raw water. And the recycled washwater had higher $UV_{254}$, TOC and residual Al concentration than the raw water. Residual Al concentration of recycled washwater was about 50 times higher than that of raw water. Optimum coagulant dosages on the blending recycled washwater and the raw water for turbidity, $UV_{254}$ and Al removal were lower than that on the raw water. However, TOC removal increased by increasing coagulant dosage. The size and fractal dimension of coagulated particle produced in the blending recycled washwater were larger, which imply faster settling velocity, than those produced in the raw water only.

Shale gas has become increasingly important as a viable alternative to conventional gas resources. However, one of the critical issues in the development of shale gas is the generation of produced water, which contains high concentration of ionic compounds (> TDS of 100,000 mg/L). Accordingly, membrane distillation (MD) was considered to treat such produced water. Experiments were carried out using a laboratory-scale direct contact MD (DCMD). Synthetic produced water was prepared to examine its fouling propensity in MD process. Antiscalants and in-line filtration were applied to control fouling by scale formation. Fouling rates (-dJ/dt) were calculated for in-depth analysis of fouling behaviors. Results showed that severe fouling occurred during the treatment of high range produced water (TDS of 308 g/L). Application of antiscalant was not effective to retard scale formation. On the other hand, in-line filtration increased the induction time and reduced fouling.
