In previous studies, solely ferric (Fe³⁺) and calcium (Ca²⁺) ions were commonly used for removal of PO₄-P (considered as T-P in this study) in wastewater via chemical precipitation. Herein, the removal of total phosphorus (T-P) in wastewater was performed using various mineral and lime dissolved solutions. The dissolution kinetics of different minerals (feldspar, olivine, elvan, illite, sericite, and zeolite) and lime was compared and used their solutions for T-P removal of real wastewater. The highest T-P removal (almost 90%) was obtained by the lime dissolved solution and followed by zeolite, illite, feldspar, and others. We observed a significant co-relationship (R of 0.96) between the amount of initial Ca²⁺ and T-P removal. This was induced by formation of hydroxyapatite-like mineral via Ca-P precipitation reaction at high pH solution. Furthermore, additional removal of suspended solid (SS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was achieved by only lime dissolved solution. Finally, the lime-feldspar dissolved solutions were prepared at different ratios (10-50%), which showed a successive T-P removal up to two times by samples of 40 and 50%.

농림부는 농업지역에서 발생하는 비점오염원을 관리하기 위해 다양한 최적관리기법(BMP)에 대해 연구를 수행하여 효과를 검증하였으나 이를 광역 단위로 보급하여 실제 영농지역에서 BMP의 효과를 측정한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 논 지역을 대상으로 물관리기술(물꼬)과 시비관리기술(완효성 비료) BMP를 보급하고 광역 단위로 BMP의 효과를 측정하고자 하였다. 연구대상지구는 새만금 지역에 위치한 전라북도 부안군 용계리 일대에 위치하고 있으며, 벼농사가 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 지역을 선정하였다. 논에 보급된 BMP의 효과를 측정하기 위해 BMP 참여 농가를 선정하여 물꼬와 완효성 비료를 보급하였으며, 용수로와 배출구 3지점을 선정하여 관개량을 측정하고 유출량을 측정하였다. 또한 관개수와 대조구, 처리구별(대조구, 물꼬, 완효성, 물꼬+완효성) 수질을 분석하여 배출구 별로 단위면적당 오염부하량을 산정하고 이를 통해 대조구 대비 처리구의 저감율을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대조구 대비 처리구의 단위면적당 오염부하량의 저감율은 SS 63.6%, BOD 45.5%, $COD_{Mn}$ 26.5%, $COD_{Cr}$ 40.1%, T-N 16.0%, T-P 12.9%, TOC 11.4%로 나타났다. 또한 연구대상지구를 SO#1(완효성 비료 95%, 비참여 농가 5%), SO#2(완효성 비료 2%, 물꼬 8%, 완효성 비료+물꼬 40%, 비참여 농가 40%), SO#M(완효성 비료 96%, 비참여 농가 4%) 3개의 배출구로 구분하여 BMP 보급 효과를 측정한 결과, 대조구 대비 SO#1에서는 수질항목별로 10.6 ~ 85.5%, SO#2는 8.1 ~ 45.9%, SO#M은 10.7 ~ 86.2%의 범위로 저감된 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 SS의 단위면적당 오염부하 저감율이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 본 연구는 7월부터 10월까지 측정된 데이터를 활용하여 산정하였기 때문에 써레질, 이앙기간에 발생한 단위면적당 오염부하량은 포함되지 않은 결과이며, 각 배수구역별 유입량의 경우 정확한 측정에 어려움이 있어 전체 관개량 대비 관개 면적을 이용하여 단위면적당 유입량을 산정하였기 때문에 추가적인 연구를 통해 효과를 검증할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims at development and application of a facility that is capable of reducing pollution in water quality by reducing nonpoint source pollutants (NPSP). NPSP originated from the initial rainfall caused not only large catchment of urban area pass a river but also small watershed pass a stream. For this purpose, the performance tests carried out with the field models from the facility based on the preceding study. And the tests induced reduction efficiency of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (T-N) and suspended solid (SS), respectively. The average reduction efficiency obtained by time interval, and the result showed an excellent reduction performance. As a result, the facility satisfied reduction efficiency of NPSP of the proposed standard by the National Institute of Environmental Research, and thus it can be used in practical applications.

Flow-through aquaculture systems generate large amounts of wastewater containing compounds such as solids that can settle near aquafarms and cause eutrophication. The settled solids are often reintroduced into flow-through systems, and aquatic animals can be affected by the solids and pathogens associated with these solids. For a sustainable aquaculture operation, adequate wastewater treatment is required. Hydrocyclones are one of the most promising technologies for the removal of solids in aquaculture wastewater. In this study, a model for performance prediction of hydrocyclones was investigated under three different operating conditions: water temperature, solids concentration, and water inlet velocity. The synthetic solids solution was prepared using settled solids from abalone aquaculture farms. The daily solids removal rates of the tested hydrocyclones ranged from 0.18 to 26.0 g solids-m^-3-day^-1, and removal efficiency ranged from 5.1 to 34.4%. The inlet water velocity had the greatest effect on solids removal and hydrocyclone efficiencies. The following multiregression model equation was derived from the daily solids removal rate (g solids-m^-3-day^-1) results for water temperature (T, ℃), solids concentration (SS, mg-L^-1), and tangential inlet water velocity (TIV, m-sec^-1): daily solids removal rate: f(z)=4.465+0.809TIV-0.375T+0.217SS (r²=0.976).

This study was conducted to evaluate water quality and pollutant loads on small agricultural watershed in Jeonbuk province. The EC level of investigated watershed ranged from 0.07 to 0.52 dS/m, BOD level ranged from 0.1 to 5.0 mg/L, and $COD_{Cr}$ level ranged from 0.6 to 17.7 mg/L. As above, contents of water quality indicators covered wide range, but each indicator was alike in mean content every other year. The contents of EC, $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;K^+\;and\;Na^+$ were decreased in rainy season, but the contents of BOD, $COD_{Cr},\;COD_{Mn}$, T-N and T-P were not greatly different as compared to dry season. And high content of SS showed substantial sediments near the surface flow out and influence on water system in rainy season. The pollutant loads measured in terminal of watershed were $9.6{\sim}757.9$ kg/day for BOD, $51.2{\sim}1418.5$ kg/day for T-N and $0.3{\sim}44.7$ kg/day for T-P. The pollutant loads of BOD, T-N and T-P in rainy season increased several times as compared to dry season. In rainy season, watershed with more than 30% in the proportion of paddy field to land showed relatively low discharge and pollutant loads in comparison to watershed with less than 30%. The discharge of watershed in rainy season increased 5.7times compared with the dry season in watershed with less than 30% in the proportion of paddy field to land, whereas was only 2.3times in watershed with more than 30%. The correlation coefficient($R^2$) of regression between discharge and pollutant loads of T-N were higher than those of BOD and T-P.

To develop small-scale sewage treatment apparatus for detached house of agricultural village, a small-scale sewage treatment apparatus by natural purification method that consisted of packaged form of aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic bed was constructed. The efficiency of sewage treatment according to the sewage treatment method, sewage loading, and the injection method of sewage were investigated for small-scale sewage treatment apparatus of packaged form of aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic bed. The removal rate of pollutants according to the sewage treatment method for small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of aerobic-anoxic-anoxic bed < aerobic-anoxic-anaerobic bed. The optimum filter media in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was a broken stone. The removal rate of pollutants according to sewage loading in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of $1,200L/m^2{\cdot}day\fallingdotseq900L/m^2{\cdot}day\fallingdotseq600L/m^2{\cdot}day$. The removal rate of pollutants according to injection method of sewage in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of continuous injection $\fallingdotseq$ intermittent injection. When loaded under the optimum conditions, removal rate of BOD, COD, SS, T-N and T-P were 99, 95, 99, 83 and 96%, respectively, through this 3-stepped small-scale treatment apparatus arrayed with the order of aerobic, anoxic and anaerobic bed.

Variations of load in both DOM and RDOM of inflowing rivers to lakes were in the range of 5.01-7.29(${\times}10^2$ kg/day) for AD lake and 1.23-3.75(${\times}10^3$ kg/day) for JY lake during the research period excluding the period directly affected by the strong rainy season and the monsoon and typhoon season. We observed a good relationship($R^2$ > 0.8) between SS load and DOM load (including RDOM) in both inflowing rivers to JY lake. Therefore, it was determined that SS would be an alternative parameter with a rapid and energy-efficient method for the analysis of both DOC and RDOC, which require the analytical equipment and a long time period. Both AD lake and JY lake may act as a DOM(including RDOM) source through primary production in the fall season. Because AD lake and JY lake may not act as a DOM buffer zone, both lakes couldn't control the DOM and RDOM in spring before the rainy season. Therefore to improve water quality in downstream rivers is needed to remove pollutants such as DOM and RDOM before inflowing to these lakes in upstream rivers, or to have the unique landscape of wetlands as a buffer zone.

This study analyzed the characteristics of stormwater runoff by rainfall type in orchard areas and transportation areas for 2 years(2010~2011year). Effluents were monitored to calculate the Event Mean Concentrations(EMCs) and runoff loads of each pollutant. The pollutant EMCs by volume of stormwater runoff showed the ranges of BOD 0.9~13.6 mg/L, COD 13.7~45.2 mg/L, SS 4.1~236.4 mg/L, T-N 2.123~21.111 mg/L, T-P 0.495~2.214 mg/L in the orchard areas, and was calculated as BOD 2.3~22.5mg/L, COD 4.4~91.1 mg/L, SS 4.3~138.3 mg/L, T-N 0.700~13.500 mg/L, T-P 0.082~1.345 mg/L in the transportation areas. The correlation coefficient of determination in the orchard area was investigated in the order of Total Rainfall(0.81) > Total Runoff(0.76) > Rainfall Intensity(0.56) > Rainfall Duration(0.46) > Antecedent Dry Days(0.27). Also, in the case of the transportation area was investigated in the order of Total Rainfall (0.55) > Total Runoff(0.54) > Rainfall Intensity(0.53) > Rainfall Duration(0.24) > Antecedent Dry Days(0.14). As the result, comparing valuables relating to runoff of non-pollutant source between orchard areas and transportation areas, orchard area($R^2{\geq}0.5$ : X3, X4, X5) was investigated to have more influence of diverse independent valuables compared to the transportation area($R^2{\geq}0.5$ : X3, X4) and the difference of discharge influence factor by the land characteristics appeared apparently.
