독립영양탈질은 추가적인 질소 제거를 위해 메탄올과 같은 고가의 외부탄소원을 필요로 하지 않는다는 면에서 효과적이고 경제적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 고농도 질소 농도를 함유한 하수에 대한 황탈질 평가를 통해 설계 및 운영인자의 도출에 필요한 기초자료를 확보하고자 하였다. 입상황으로 충진된 황탈질조는 유동형 스폰지 담체를 이용하여 영양염류를 제거하는 고도처리 공정 후단에 파일럿 규모로 설치되었다($Q=18\;m^3/day$). 외부 알칼리 주입 없이 황탈질조 유입수 내 알칼리(평균 $169.4{\pm}20.8\;mg$ $CaCO_3/L$)만을 활용하였고, 2.45시간의 체류시간으로 운영된 황탈질조 내 추가적인 질산성 질소의 제거를 통해 최종 처리수의 총질소가 7.0 mg T-N/L 이하로 도출되었다. 파일럿 설비 평가를 통해 동절기 저수온($15^{\circ}C$ 이하)에서도 60~80%의 안정적인 황탈질 제거효율을 나타내었으며, 2.78 ppm 이내의 Alum 주입 시 황탈질 성능에 거의 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 황탈질조에서 제거된 질산성 질소 대비 소모된 알칼리도는 $4.09{\pm}1.29\;g$ $CaCO_3/g$ ${NO_3}^-$-N로 도출되었고(이론값 4.57 g $CaCO_3/g$ ${NO_3}^-$-N), 황탈질조 유입수 내 질산성 질소의 전환에 필요한 알칼리도 이상을 포함하였다. 입상황의 소모량은 943.8 g S/day로서, 구형입상황의 마모 및 역세 시의 유실 등에 의해 이론적 소모량인 400.1 g S/day 대비 2.4배 정도 높게 나타났다.

Temperature, salinity, alkalinity, pH, nutrient, chlorophyll, and iron were measured within the upper 250m water column around the Antarctic Polar Front in the Scotia Sea from late November to early December 2001. Temperature and salinity showed a rapid change across the Polar Front, and the temperature minimum layer existed only in the southern area of the Polar Front. Total $CO_2$ and nutrient concentrations were relatively high and increased rapidly with water depth in the southern area of the Polar Front, which was resulted from upwelling of the Antarctic deep water containing high concentrations of total $CO_2$ and nutrient. ${\Delta}C:{\Delta}N:{\Delat}P$ ratios measured in the norhem and southern areas of the Polar Front were 75:11.4:1 and 84:12.5:1, respectively, which were lower than the Redfield ratio. ${\Delta}Si:{\Delta}N$ ratio (3.65) measured in the southern area of the Polar Front was two times higher than that (1.95) in the northern area. These two ratios were higher than the ratio (1.0) measured in the temperate and tropical oceans. Chlorophyll concentrations were extremely high in the area of $59^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}S$, which was attributed to favorable environmental conditions for phytoplankton growth in this area, such as sufficient iron, high water column stability, and high silicate concentration.

1999년 동해 해양 탐사에서 관측된 자료를 이용하여 동해에서 수심에 따른 탄산칼슘의 포화도 변화를 분석하였다. 해수의 칼슘 농도는 염분 측정값으로부터 계산하였으며, 탄산염 농도는 총알칼리도와 수소이온농도 측정값을 이용하여 계산하였다. 동해의 해수는 방해석에 대하여 약 200${\sim}$400m보다 얕은 곳에서는 과포화 되어있고, 그보다 깊은 곳에서는 불포화 되어있다. 아라고나이트의 경우에는 약 100${\sim}$300 m보다 얕은 곳에서는 과포화 되어 있고 그보다 깊은 곳에서는 불포화되어 있다. 대양에 비교하여 동해의 포화깊이가 낮은 이유는 동해의 낮은 수온 때문으로 추정된다.

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.

Generation rate of construction wastes in Korea has occupied preponderantly in recent years. To understand chemical properties of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), RCA samples were tested for their leaching characteristics. Leaching tests were conducted according to Korean Standard Leaching Test (KLT) and Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) respectively. The RCA samples were characterized using X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Alkalinity of the leachate was determined using a pH meter titration method. The XRF analysis result shows that the calcium oxide (CaO) content in the RCA sample is 25.3~50.4 %. When the RCA sample was mixed with water in a batch reactor, pH in the solution was rapidly increased, and 70% of the total pH change was found in 1 hour. The TCLP showed slightly higher efficiency for leaching heavy metals than the KLT. The leaching efficiency was also higher as the particle size of RCA sample was smaller. The leaching test results suggest that RCA can be generally classified as nonhazardous waste.

알코올 발효에서 물의 경도가 중요한데 오존을 사용하게 되면 경도를 줄이면서 알코올의 생성량을 증가시키는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 지하수에 오존을 처리하는 경우, 오존의 산화반응으로 알코올의 품질에 긍정적인 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며 담금 공정에서의 처리효과를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 오존의 주입시간에 따라 에탄을 발생량이 다르게 나타났으며 오존주입시간을 4시간 처리한 경우가 미 오존 처리한 경우와 비교하여 수중의 경도는 85% 이상 감소되며 전기전도도는 50% 이상 증가하였지만 수중의 산소농도는 1.2% 미만으로 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 오존주입시간과 발효시간 경과에 따라 에탄을 발생량은 초기와 비교하여 최대 300 % 이상 차이가 나는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 오존 처리시 수중의 오존의 농도는 1 ppm 이하의 규정을 유지한 상태에서 오존주입을 증가시키게 되면 오존 증가와 함께 에탄올의 생성량은 1차 담금 4일째부터 20% 이상 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Two-stage membrane bioreactor using submerged hollow fiber membrane was applied in laboratory scale to treat nitrogen and phosphorus of domestic wastewater. Alum as the flocculant and adsorbent was added into the anaerobic basin of two-stage membrane bioreactor and mixed liquid of aerabic basin was recycled to the anaerobic basin for the purpose of nitrogen removal. Experiment was carried out to find removal efficient of phosphorous and nitrogen components in the mixed liquid, and the stability of the permeate flux and pressure of two-stage membrane bioreactor. In case of alum was added as the flocculant and adsorbent into the anaerobic basin, soluble phosphorus removal efficient was relatively higher and total permeate resistance(Rtot) was more increased out nitrogen removal efficient was lower as the result of lack of alkalinity and insufficient nitrification process than the case of alum was not added.

Freshwater red algal diversity and the relationship with water conditions in 22 stream segments in the area around Khao Luang National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand, were studied during a period of twelve months (May 2014 to April 2015). Sixteen species of freshwater red algae, belonging to eight genera (Audouinella, Balliopsis, Batrachospermum, Caloglossa, Compsopogon, Kumanoa, Sirodotia, and Thorea) were identified, which were all reported earlier for the country. Thorea clavata (Thoreaceae) was the most common species occurring in eight stream segments. Caloglossa beccarii sensu lato (Delesseriaceae) and Sirodotia huillensis Skuja (Batrachospermaceae) had the highest percent cover with up to 40% and 20% per stream segment, respectively. The water quality showed most sites to be unpolluted or ultra-oligotrophic to oligotrophic. Canonical Correspondence Analysis revealed some trends in occurrence of individual species with stream environmental variables: Batrachospermum sp.with strong current velocity; Kumanoa hirosei with high turbidity, total dissolved solid and alkalinity; Caloglossa beccarii with high conductivity; Kumanoa tabagatenensis with high ammonia-nitrogen and Thorea siamensis with high calcium and magnesium. In view of the scarce studies on the stream ecology of freshwater red algae in Philippines and neighbouring countries, it is expected that the data presented here would be helpful in more critical further studies in south-east Asia in general.

A pilot scale experiment was performed for a year to develop a two-phase anaerobic process for piggery wastewater treatment (COD: 6,000mg/L, BOD: 4,000mg/L, SS: 500mg/L, pH 8.4, alkalinity 6,000mg/L). The acidogenic reactor had a total volume of 3㎥, and the methanogenic reactor, an anaerobic up-flow sludge filter, combining a filter and a sludge bed, was also of total volume 3㎥(1.5㎥ of upper packing material). Temperatures of the acidogenic and methanogenic reactors kept at 20$^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$, respectively. When the pH of the acidogenic reactor was controlled at 6.0-7.0 with HCl, the COD removal efficiency increased from 50 to 80% over a period of six months, and as a result, the COD of the final effluent fell in the range of 1,000-1,500 mg/L. BOD removal efficiency over the same period was above 90%, and 300 to 400 mg/L was maintained in the final effluent. The average SS in the final effluent was 270 mg/L. The methane production was 0.32㎥ CH$_4$/kg COD(sub)removed and methane content of the methanogenic reactor was high value at 80-90%. When the pH of the acidogenic reactor was not controlled over the final two months, the pH reached 8.2 and acid conversion decreased compared with that of pH controlled, while COD removal was similar to the pH controlled operation. Without pH control, the methane content in the gas from methanogenic reactor improved to 90%, compared to 80% with pH control.
