1, 4-dioxane is a recalcitrant pollutant found in contaminated ground waters and industrial effluents. Conventional water treatment techniques are limited to treat this compound effectively. In this study, $O_3$／$H_2O_2$ oxidation process was used to eliminate 1, 4-dioxane in water and to enhance the biodegradability. Several factors affecting biodegradability enhancement were investigated. The relationship between initial oxidation rate of 1 A-dioxane and BOD enhancement rate has been determined, a kinetic model has been proposed. $H_2O_2$ concentration and pH had a proportional relation with biodegradability of 1, 4-dioxane, but in case of ozone, there was no relationship with biodegradability. 1, 4-Dioxane removal efficiencies had good agreement with the biodegradability.

Microorgansims utilizing anionic detergent as their carbon and sulfur sources were isolated from soils and sewages. Alkyl benzene sulfonate (Hiti) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) were the detergent compound tested. Three of these isolated microorganisms were identified as Pseudomonas spp. and the others asKlbsiella, Enterobacter and Acinetobacter. Biodegradation rate of the detergents and growth rate of Acinetobacter Strain II-8, Pseudomonas strain H-3-1 and 554 among six isolated microorganisms were investigated with colorimetric, warburg manometric, and ultraviolet absorption analyses. By performance of 4 serial successive tranfer to new culture broth for the purpose of adaptation method, ABS and SDS could be degraded to far more than 40%-60% and 70%-75%, respectively. However the employment of nonadaptation method, ABS and SDS were degraded to 30%-45% and 45%-65%, respectively. In another words, detergents degradation ability was increased to a certain extent by successive transfer to the new minimal media. We would conclude that the development of adaptation was effective in the removal of recalcitrant compounds.

산업현장에서 발생되는 휘발성유기화합물은 생분해 가능한 화합물과 난분해성 물질이 혼합되어 있는 경우가 많으며, 저감기술을 단독으로 적용해서는 효과적인 제어가 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 난분해성 물질이 혼합된 휘발성유기화합물을 처리하기 위하여, 자외선(UV) 광분해 장치와 미생물 고정화 복합고분자 담체가 적용된 바이오필터 기술을 결합한 통합시스템을 구성하고 반응 특성을 검토하였다. 대상 휘발성유기화합물로는 toluene과 TCE를 선정하였다. 자외선 광산화 단독실험 결과 TCE는 99% 이상의 제거효율을 나타내었으며 수용성 중간생성물 발생량도 크게 증가하였다. 그러나 toluene과 TCE를 혼합하여 유입시키면 자외선 광분해만으로는 유기화합물 제거율이 낮아졌다. 자외선 광산화와 바이오필터를 결합한 통합시스템 실험에서는 높은 toluene 제거효율을 얻을 수 있었으며, 전처리로 자외선을 조사한 후 toluene과 TCE의 처리효율도 함께 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 자외선에 의해 일부 산화된 toluene과 TCE가 미생물에 의해 보다 효과적으로 분해될 수 있음을 보여준다. 자외선 광산화 반응은 toluene이 상대적으로 적게 존재하는 상황에서 TCE 제거효율을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 본 실험에서 확인한 TCE 최대 분해능은 $18.2g/m^3/hr$이었다. 그러나 toluene 유입농도가 높았던 조건에서는 toluene의 저해작용으로 인해 TCE 분해능 변화가 적었다. 다양한 운전조건에서 통합시스템의 반응효율과 운전 안정성을 향상시키기 위해서는 각 난분해성 물질 사이의 상호 저해작용에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

구름버섯(Trametes versicolor)은 phenolic compound인 CV와 MG를 효과적으로 탈색할 수 있었으며 고체와 액체배양 상태 모두에서 CV보다 MG를 더 효과적으로 탈색시켰다. 구름버섯에 의한 두 색소의 탈색 과정에서 phenolic compounds를 분해하는 것으로 알려진 세 가지 효소 중 laccase의 활성이 가장 높았다. MnP 역시 적은 수치지만 활성을 나타냈으며 LiP의 활성은 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 구름버섯에 의한 합성염료의 분해과정에서 laccase가 주로 사용되고 MnP는 탈색과정에서 보조적인 작용을 하는 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 CV의 경우 MnP가 활발하게 염료분해에 관여하는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 MG가 대부분 탈색되었을 때의 laccase 활성(0.16 U/mg)이 CV가 대부분 탈색되었을 때의 활성(0.23 U/mg)보다 현저하게 낮은 것으로 보아 구름버섯이 CV를 탈색시키는데 더 높은 활성의 laccase가 필요로 하는 것이 밝혀졌다. 본 실험에서 한국산 구름버섯 종의 CV와 MG 탈색능력이 확인되었으며 앞으로 한국산 구름버섯을 이용한 triphenyl methane계에 속하는 합성염료의 분해에 관한 친환경적 처리기술 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Pharmaceutical wastewater effluents are well known for their difficult elimination by traditional biotreatment methods and their important contribution to environmental pollution due to its fluctuating and recalcitrant nature. OTC is one of the nonbiodegradable antibiotics that makes antibiotic-resistant, so it can make be high risk for environment. NZVI can be a good choice for removal of OTC in aqueous solution. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the amounts of NZVI and OTC to be used at pH 3 and under 200 W, UV-A irradiation. The responses were removal percent of absorption at 290 and 348 nm, TOC and COD of OTC. In the optimum condition, Linear model was performed 155 ppm of OTC were removed by 1000 ppm NZVI after 6.5 hours and the removal efficiency of absorption at 290 and 348 nm, TOC and COD were 87, 95, 85 and 89 percent, respectively. In the similar process, there is no organic compound after 14 hours. The parameters ORP, DO and pH were investigated for 6:30 hours to study the type of NZVI reaction in process. In the beginning of reaction, oxidation was the dominant reaction after 3 hours, photocatalytic reaction was remarkable. The mechanism of OTC degradation is proposed by HPLC/ESI-MS and four by products were found. Also the rate constants (first order kinetic chain reaction model) were 0.0099, 0.0021, 0.0010, 0.0049 and $0.0074min^{-1}$, respectively.

Pyrene은 보통 석유류로서 오염된 지역에서 쉽게 발견된다. 이 화합물은 생물학적으로 난분해성물질이므로 오염지역에서 장시간 존재한다. 세 종류의 토양(rhizosphere soil, non-rhizosphere soil, sterilized soil)에서 pyrene의 분해속도를 조사하기 위하여 microcosm실험을 수행하였다. Pyrene 농도감소속도는 rhizosphere soil)non-rhizosphere soil>sterilized soil 순서로 증가하였다. 또한 뿌리 유출물을 모사한 유기산의 첨가는 pyrene의 농도감소에 큰영향을 미치지 않았으나 pyrene농도감소 속도와 토양미생물의 증가는 좋은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미생물의 밀도가 높은 rhizosphere 토양에서 pyrene의 생물학적 분해가 효과적으로 진행되는 것으로 나타났다.

Chloroanilines are aromatic amines used as intermediate products in the synthesis of herbicides, azo-dyes, and pharmaceuticals. 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) is the degradation product of some herbicides (diuron, propanil, and linuron) and of trichlorocarbanilide, a chemical used as an active agent in the cosmetic industry. The compound, however, is considered a potential pollutant due to its toxicity and recalcitrant property to humans and other species. With the increasing necessity for bioremediation, we sought to isolate bacteria that degraded 3,4-DCA. A bacterium capable of growth on 3,4-DCA as the sole carbon source was isolated from seaside sediment using a dilution method with a culture enriched in 3,4-DCA. The isolated strain, YM-7 was identified to be Pseudomonas sp. The isolated strain was also able to degrade other chloroaniline compounds. The isolated strain showed a high level of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity on exposure to 3,4-DCA, suggesting that this enzyme is an important factor in 3,4-DCA degradation. The activity toward 4-methylcatechol was 53.1% that of catechol, while the activity toward 3-methylcatechol, 4-chlorocatechol and 4,5-chlorocatechol was 18.1, 33.1, and 6.9%, respectively.

The rise in population and industrialization accounts for the generation of a huge amount of wastewaters. The treatment of this wastewater is obligatory to safeguard the environment and various life forms. Conventional methods for high strength wastewater treatment coming out to be ineffective. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for such wastewater treatment proved to be very effective particularly for the removal of various refractory compounds present in the wastewater. Ozone based AOPs with its high oxidizing power and excellent disinfectant properties is considered to be an attractive choice for the elimination of a large spectrum of refractory compounds. Furthermore, it enhances the biodegradability of wastewaters after treatment which favors subsequent biological treatments. In this review, a detailed overview of the AOPs (like the Fenton process, photocatalysis, Electrochemical oxidation, wet air oxidation, and Supercritical water oxidation process) has been discussed explicitly focusing on ozone-based AOPs (like O₃, O₃/H₂O₂, O₃/UV, Ozone/Activated carbon process, Ozone/Ultrasound process, O₃/UV/H₂O₂ process). This review also comprises the involved mechanisms and applications of various ozone-based AOPs for effective municipal/industrial wastewaters and landfill leachate treatment. Process limitations and rough economical analysis were also introduced. The conclusive remarks with future research directions also underlined. It was found that ozonation in combination with other effective AOPs and biological methods enhances treatment efficacies. This review will serve as a reference document for the researchers working in the AOPs field particularly focusing on ozone-based AOPs for wastewater treatment and management systems.

While a range of natural organic matter (NOM) types can generate high levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs) after chlorination, there is little understanding of which specific compounds act as precursors. Use of eight model compounds allows linking of explicit properties to treatability and DBP formation potential (DBPFP). The removal of model compounds by various treatment processes and their haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) before and after treatment were recorded. The model compounds comprised a range of hydrophobic (HPO) and hydrophilic (HPI) neutral and anionic compounds. On the treatment processes, an ozone oxidation process was moderate for control of model compounds, while the HPO-neutral compound was most treatable with activated carbon process. Biodegradation was successful in removing amino acids, while coagulation and ion exchange process had little effect on neutral molecules. Although compared with the HPO compounds the HPI compounds had low HAAFP the ozone oxidation and biodegradation were capable of increasing their HAAFP. In situations where neutral or HPI molecules have high DBPFP additional treatments may be required to remove recalcitrant NOM and control DBPs.

리그닌이 분해되려면 분자형태의 산소를 요구하므로 혐기성 조건에서는 리그닌 분해가 어려운 것으로 알려져 왔다. 리그닌의 존재는 리그닌 분해에 영향을 준다. 리그닌 분해의 초기단계에서는 촉매역할을 하는 효소에 의해 리그닌이 중간산물로 분해되어 이 단계에서는 미생물에 의한 효소생성이 제한인자로 작용하게 된다. 폐수에 영양염을 첨가하고 미생물을 식종하여 폐수 내 유기물의 혐기성 분해정도를 평가할 수 있는 BMP(biochemical methane potential)법이 혐기성 조건하에서 리그닌 분해를 평가하기 위해 이용되고 있다. BMP법에 의해 리그닌을 초기 분해한 후 미생물 활동을 선택적으로 억제할 수 있도록 3% 톨루엔 용액으로 만든다. 이 용액의 리그닌 초기 분해율과 리그닌 분해산물의 축적률을 측정해 리그린의 혐기성 분해특성을 파악할 수 있다.
