퇴비공장 또는 공공시설에서 발생되는 악취폐가스의 대표적인 제거대상 오염원인 황화수소와 암모니아를 포함한 악취폐가스를 처리하기 위하여 여러 운전 조건 하에서의 Thiobacillus sp. IW 및 반송슬러지를 고정한 담체를 충전한 semi-pilot 바이오필터 시스템을 운전하였다. Semi-pilot 바이오필터 운전 초반 및 중반에서는 황화수소 제거효율은 암모니아 부하와 무관하였으나, 암모니아 제거효율은 황화수소 부하가 커짐에 따라서 감소하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 semi-pilot 바이오필터 운전 후반에서는 황화수소 부하가 커짐에도 불구하고 암모니아 제거효율이 영향을 받지 않았다. 이것은 semi-pilot 바이오필터 운전 후반의 buffer solution의 지속적 투입으로 인하여 semi-pilot 바이오필터담체의 산성화가 크지 않음에 기인한다고 간주된다. Semi-pilot 바이오필터시스템으로 황화수소와 암모니아의 동시제거를 할 때에 황화수소와 암모니아의 최대 elimination capacity 값은 각각 약 58 및 $30g/m^3/h$이었다. 이와 같이 semi-pilot 바이오필터 운전에 의하여 황화수소와 암모니아를 동시 제거한 경우에는 실험실규모 바이오필터의 유사한 운전조건 하에서 둘 중의 하나만을 함유한 경우보다 제거용량이 각각 약 39와 46% 만큼 감소하여서, 황화수소와 암모니아를 동시 제거한 경우에 암모니아 최대제거용량이 황화수소 최대제거용량보다 7% 만큼 더 감소하였다.

The electrolytic reduction process and the electrorefining process, which are being developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), are to generate molten waste salts such as LiCI salt and LiCI-KCI eutectic salt, respectively. Our goal in waste salt management is to minimize a total waste generation and fabricate a very low­leaching waste form such as a ceramic waste form. Zeolite has been known to one of the most desirable media to immobilize waste salt, which is water soluble and easily radiolyzed. Zeolite can be also used to the removal of fission products from the spent waste salt. Molten LiCI salt is mixed with zeolite A at $650^{\circ}C$ to form a salt-loaded zeolite, and then thermally treated in above $900^{\circ}C$ to become an immobilized product with crystal phase of $Li_{8}Cl_{2}$-Sodalite. In this work, a crystal phase changes of immobilization medium, zeolite, during immobilization of molten LiCI salt using zeolite A is introduced.

Waste paper stands for the major biodegradable organic fraction of most of municipal solid waste. The potential of waste paper for glucose production was investigated in this current work. The pretreatment was accomplished by first subjecting waste paper to disintegration time (30 s), followed by ink removal of disintegrated waste paper using an deinking agent. Concentrated acid hydrolysis of waste paper with sulfuric acid was optimized to maximize glucose conversion. The concentrated acid hydrolysis conditions for waste paper (disintegrated time: 30 s, deinking agent loading : 15 ml) were optimized by using central composite design and response surface methodology. The optimization process employed a central composite design, where the investigated variables were acid concentration (60~80%), loading sulfuric acid (1~5 ml) and reaction time (1~5 h). All the tested variables were identified to have significant effects (p < 0.05) on glucose conversion. The optimum concentrated acid hydrolysis conditions were acid concentration of 70.8%, loading sulfuric acid of 3.2 ml and a reaction time of 3.6 h. This research of concentrated acid hydrolysis was a promising method to improve glucose conversion for waste paper.

퇴비공장 또는 공공시설에서 발생되는 악취폐가스의 대표적인 제거대상 오염원인 암모니아를 포함한 악취폐가스를 처리하기 위하여 여러 운전 조건 하에서의 광촉매반응기와 바이오필터로 구성된 하이브리드시스템을 운전하였다. 암모니아 총 제거효율은 하이브리드시스템의 운전부하가 운전 단계별로 커졌음에도 불구하고 약 80%로 유지되었다. 광촉매반응기에서의 암모니아 제거효율은 광촉매반응기로의 암모니아 유입부하량이 증가함에 따라서 광촉매반응기의 암모니아 제거효율은 65%에서 약 22%로 감소하였다. 같은 암모니아 유입부하량일지라도 암모니아농도가 클 때보다 적은 경우에 광촉매반응기의 암모니아 제거효율이 상대적으로 높았다. 반면에 바이오필터의 경우는 운전 전반부에는 암모니아 처리효율이 현저하게 억제되었으나 광촉매반응기의 경우와 반대로 시간이 경과하면서 암모니아 유입부하량이 증가함에도 불구하고 바이오필터의 암모니아 제거효율은 지속적으로 약 78%까지 증가하여서 Lee 등의 연구결과에서의 암모니아 제거효율과 비슷하게 도달하였다. 광촉매반응기에 의한 최대 암모니아 제거용량($EC_{PR}$)은 약 16 g-N/$m^3$/h 이었고, 바이오필터에 의한 암모니아 제거용량($EC_{BF}$)은 운전 초기에 암모니아 총 부하가 작은 경우에는 암모니아 총 부하증가에 따른 $EC_{BF}$의 증가추세가 미약하였으나 운전 후반부에 암모니아 총 부하가 큰 경우에는 암모니아 총 부하증가에 따른 $EC_{BF}$의 증가추세가 급격하게 커졌다. 하이브리드시스템 운전 6단계에서 암모니아 총 부하가 약 80 g-N/$m^3$/h일 때에 광촉매반응기에서의 $EC_{PR}$은 약 16 g-N/$m^3$/h이었고, 2차 공정이고 주공정인 바이오필터에 걸리는 암모니아 부하는 나머지인 약 64 g-N/$m^3$/h이고 주공정인 바이오필터의 $EC_{BF}$은 약 48 g-N/$m^3$/h로 산출되었다. 이러한 바이오필터의 암모니아 제거용량은 Kim 등의 연구결과로서 최대 암모니아 제거용량인 1,200 g-N/$m^3$/day와 거의 비슷하였다.

본 연구는 고방사성해수폐액 (HSW)으로부터 Barium (Ba)이 함침된 4A 제올라이트 (BaA)에 의한 고방사성핵종 중에 하나인 Sr의 흡착 제거를 수행하였다. BaA에 의한 Sr의 흡착 (BaA-Sr)은 Ba의 함침농도 20.2wt% 이상에서 Ba의 함침농도가 증가할수록 감소하며 Ba 함침농도는 20.2wt% 정도가 적당하였다. 그리고 BaA-Sr 흡착은 BaA 내 4A에 의한 Sr 흡착 (4A-Sr)에 $BaSO_4$ 침전에 따른 Sr 공침이 첨가되어, Sr의 농도가 0.2 mg/L 이하 (HSW 내 실제 Sr 농도 수준)에서 BaA는 m/V (흡착제량/용액 부피)=5 g/L, 4A는 m/V >20 g/L에서 99% 이상의 Sr 제거가 가능하였다. 이는 흡착제 단위 g 당 Sr의 처리용량 및 2차 고체폐기물 (폐흡착제 등) 발생량 저감화 차원에서 BaA-Sr 흡착이 4A-Sr 흡착보다 우수함을 나타낸다. 또한 BaA-Sr 흡착이 증류수보다 해수폐액에서 Sr의 제거능이 우수하여 HSW로부터 직접 Sr을 제거하는 데 효과적일 것으로 보인다. 반면에 BaA에 의한 Cs의 흡착 (BaA-Cs)은 주로 BaA 내 4A에 의해서 이루어지고 있어 함침 Ba의 영향은 거의 없는 것 같다. 한편 BaA-Sr 흡착속도는 유사 2차 속도식으로 표현할 수 있으며, Sr의 초기농도 및 V/m 비 증가에 따라서 속도상수 ($k_2$)는 감소하지만 평형흡착량 ($q_e$)은 증가하고 있다. 그러나 용액의 온도증가에 따라서는 반대로 $k_2$는 증가하지만 $q_e$는 감소하고 있다. BaA-Sr 흡착 활성화에너지는 약 38 kJ/mol 로 강력한 결합 형태를 이룬 화학흡착은 아니더라도 물리적 흡착보다 화학적 흡착이 지배적일 것으로 보인다.

Phosphate removal through adsorbent, such as activated alumina, powdered aluminum oxide, flyash, blasted furnace slag and other materials, is commonly and widely practiced. The purpose of this study was to improve the removal efficiency of phosphorus in waste sludge earned at seafood processing factories. To investigate the utility and the feasibility of this sludge disposal process, experiment was carried out with a batch process. As a result, phosphate removal appears to increase with increasing adsorbent does, but shows no changes at an adsorbent does over 5g/l. With increasing ratios of initial phosphate concentration to adsorbent does, the amount of removed phosphate is increased while phosphate removal(%) is decreased. Wasted sludge, treated with zinc chloride chemically, represented a better efficiency than the untreated activated sludge and zinc chloride itself, when they reacted with phosphate solution.

This study mainly concentrated on the treatment of nightsoil by an anaerobic filter media process. Nightsoil has been one of the major water pollutants in this couotry. It represents high ROD and SS concentrations. A comprehensive laboratory study conducted at Kangwoon National University indicate: (1) In the case of anaerobic filter system, COD and BOD removal efficiencies were greatly influenced by hydraulic retention time(HRT), but SS removal efficiencies dropped slowly when HRT were 2~13 days. (2) COD removal efficiencies were 19% when HRT were 15 days, 14% when HRT were 8 days, 10% when HRT were 6 days, 9% when HRT were 4 days, 2% when HRT were 2 days. (3) BOD removal efficiencies were 23% when HRT were 15 days, 14% when HRT were 8 days, 18% when HRT were 6 days, 7% when HRT were 4 days, 5.8% when HRT were 2days. (4) SS removal efficiencies were 21%~25%(2~15 days HRT).

The treatment performances of anaerobic-aerobic activated sludge process were investigated under various operation conditions. The treatment system proposed in this study gave a relatively stable performance against hourly change of the flow rate and showed a satisfactory removal of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds under experimental conditions. The recycle ratio of mixed liquor from aerobic to anaerobic region and peak coefficient primarily controlled the extent of nitrogen removal. The recycle ratio had the optimum values which were determined by the microbial activities of nitrification and denitrification. The behavior of the treatment unit could be simulated by using the kinetic equations and reactor models which considered the treatment units as complete mixing tanks.

Waste sludge may be used to recovery wastewater contaminated with heavy metals. The waste sludge is an inexpensive readily available source of biomass for biosorption with metal-bearing wastewater. The biosorption of heavy metals such as Pb(II), Cu(II), Cr(II), and Cd(II) onto waste sludge was investigated in batch ex­periments and waste sludge loaded heavy metals was separated by dissolved air flotation. The biosorption equi­bria of heavy metals could be described by Langmuir and Freundich isotherms. The adsorption capacity for waste sludge was in the sequence of Pb(II)>Cr(II)>Cu(II)>Cd(II). The system attained equilibrium about 20 min. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption model effectively described the biosorption equilibrium of Cu(II) and Cr(II) ions on waste sludge. Maximum adsorption capacity of Cu(II) and Cr(II) were 196.08 and 158.73 mg/g, respectively. Solid-liquid separation efficiencies were kept above $95\%$ on waste sludge loaded heavy metals, and were decreased with pH increasing.
