The carbon and nitrogen removal process using PVA-gel (Polyvinyl Alcohol) immobilized microorganisms was studied. The process has been operated under diverse process conditions for 12 months. The process consists of denitrification with internal recycle of 300%, nitrification, aerobic digestion reactors and settling tank. Nitrificatoin and nitrogen removal efficiency according to gel packing ratio and temperature were studied. Yield for Heterotrophs ($Y_H$), decay coefficient for Heterotrophs($b_H$) in aerobic digestion reactor were determined to seize sludge reduction mechanism and compared with typical data of activated sludge process. Then SRT in aerobic digestion reactor was determined on an experimental basis and sludge reduction efficiency was calculated. The process was implemented successfully with sludge reduction efficiency of 92.0~98.5% on a basis of biomass.

In this study, iron (Fe) impregnated granular activated carbon (Fe-GAC) has been synthesized and characterized for various properties. Comparative studies have been performed for use of Fe-GAC as an adsorbent as well as a catalyst during catalytic oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ). In the batch adsorption study, effect of process parameter like initial HQ concentration ($C_o=25-1,000mg/L$), pH (2-10), contact time (t: 0-24 h), temperature (T: $15-45^{\circ}C$) and adsorbent dose (w: 5-50 g/L) have been studied. Maximum HQ adsorption efficiency of 75% was obtained at optimum parametric condition of: pH = 4, w = 40 g/L and t = 14 h. Pseudo-second order model best-fitted the HQ adsorption kinetics whereas Langmuir model best-represented the isothermal equilibrium behavior. During oxidation studies, effect of various process parameters like initial HQ concentration ($C_o:20-100mg/L$), pH (4-8), oxidant dose ($C_{H2O2}:0.4-1.6mL/L$) and catalyst dose (m: 0.5-1.5 g/L) have been optimized using Taguchi experimental design matrix. Maximum HQ removal efficiency of 83.56% was obtained at optimum condition of $C_o=100mg/L$, pH = 6, $C_{H2O2}=0.4mL/L,$ and m = 1 g/L. Overall use of Fe-GAC during catalytic oxidation seems to be a better as compared to its use an adsorbent for treatment of HQ bearing wastewater.

활성탄 재질별 신탄에서의 1,4-dioxane에 대한 흡착능을 평가한 결과, 석탄계 신탄의 파과시점은 BV 3600, 야자계와 목탄계 신탄의 경우는 BV 1440과 144 정도로 나타났다. 1,4-dioxane에 대한 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 석탄계 활성탄이 578.9 ${\mu}g/g$으로 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 야자계 142.3 ${\mu}g/g$, 목탄계 7.4 ${\mu}g/g$이었다. CUR은 석탄계 활성탄의 경우 0.48 g/일, 야자계와 목탄계 활성탄은 1.41 g/일과 6.9 g/일로 나타났으며 야자계와 석탄계 활성탄의 k값은 17.9와 91.5로 나타났다. 오존 단독처리 공정에서의 1,4-dioxane 제거특성을 평가해 본 결과, 2 mg/L의 오존 투입농도에서는 1,4-dioxane의 제거율이 38%인 반면 5 mg/L 고농도 오존처리로 87%의 제거율을 나타내었다. 전처리 산화공정이 없는 BAC 공정(3.1년 및 5년 이상 사용탄)에서는 부착 미생물에 의한 생물분해에 의한 제거는 없었으며 2와 5 mg/L $O_3+BAC$ 공정에서 EBCT를 $10{\sim}30$분으로 하여 운전하였을 경우 오존 단독공정에 비해 $2%{\sim}6%$ 정도 제거율이 증가한 것으로 나타나 오존처리 후의 BAC 공정은 1,4-dioxane 제거에 큰 효과가 없었다. 1,4-dioxane이 고도 정수처리공정으로 유입되었을 시 GAC 공정을 채택한 정수장의 경우 석탄계 신탄을 사용하는 것이 가장 바람직하며, 오존/BAC 공정의 경우는 BAC 접촉조의 EBCT를 증가시키는 운전 방법 보다 오존의 투입농도를 증가시키거나 오존 접촉조의 체류시간을 증가시켜 운전하는 방식이 1,4-dioxane 제거에 대해 효과적인 운전 방법으로 조사되었다.

생물활성탄(BAC) 재질별 EBCT 및 수온변화에 따른 HAA 5종의 생물분해 특성을 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 BAC에서 HAA 제거시 EBCT와 수온이 매우 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. EBCT와 수온을 증가시킬 경우 HAA의 제거율이 상승하였으며, 수온이 20$^{\circ}C$ 보다 높을 경우 HAA의 제거능은 EBCT의 영향을 크게 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 수온이 5$\sim$10$^{\circ}C$ 정도로 낮을 경우는 EBCT의 증가가 HAA의 제거율에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 활성탄 재질에 따른 BAC에서의 HAA 제거는 석탄계 재질에서의 생물분해능이 가장 높았고, 다음으로 야자계, 목탄계 순으로 조사되었다. HAA 5종에 대한 생물분해 속도상수와 반감기는 수온이 5$^{\circ}C$일 때의 HAA 5종에 대한 생물분해 속도상수(k)와 반감기(t$_{1/2}$)는 0.0373$\sim$0.1175 min$^{-1}$, 반감기는 5.9$\sim$18.58분이었으며, 수온을 10$^{\circ}C$와 20$^{\circ}C$로 증가시켰을 때 5$^{\circ}C$일 때와 반감기를 비교해 보면 1.5$\sim$7.9배로 감소되었다.

Hybrid시스템의 운전결과 황화수소의 removal efficiency는 황화수소의 inlet load가 $200g/m^{3}/h$에서 removal efficiency가 급격히 감소하여 약 60%의 수준을 유지하였다. 또한 톨루엔에 대한 removal efficiency는 거의 100%를 유지하다가 톨루엔의 inlet load가 $644g/m^{3}/h$로 증가할 때에는 약 60%로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 Hybrid시스템 운전결과로 부터 바이오필터만을 이용하여 황화수소와 톨루엔을 동시처리할 때보다 removal efficiency가 제고되었음이 관찰되었다.

The effects of initial concentration, flow rate, and recycle ratio on the removal efficiency of phenol were studied in a tapered fluidized bed reactor packed with activated carbon which was attached with Candida tropicalis. The optimum conditions of Candida tropicalis were showed that pH was 7.0 and temperature was $30^{\circ}C$, and the specific growth rate of Candida tropicalis was satisfied with the Monod equation up to 500 mg/L of phenol, and beyond it the inhibition of substrate was found. According to the increases of initial concentration and flow rate, the removal efficiency was decreased, as the recycle ratio was increased, the removal efficiency was increased. In the case of flow rate of 10mL/sec and the recycle ratio of 2, the removal efficiency was 90% above for the all of initial concentration. The removal rate of phenol was the first order reaction in this system, and the rate equation of reaction was as follows.

Malodorous gases give discomfort and harm to laborers and residential neighborhoods and therefore, the removing odor materials emitted from plants and industrial facilities is important subject. The main ingredients of alkali odor are $NH_3$ and $CE_3SH$. The adsorption characteristics of odors were studied using four different activated carbon fibers(ACF) and active carbon(AC). Alkali odor was removed by using ACF impregnated with $H_3PO_4$ and $H_2SO_4$ and treated with $HNO_3$ and NaOH. The experimental result showed that ACF has a higher removal efficiency than AC. The adsorption capacity was increased with the impregnation and surface treatment, and $H_2SO_4$ was the best impregnant for the removal of alkali odor.

질소를 포함한 난분해성 오염불칠을 다량 함유한 축산폐수 (양돈폐수)의 오염물질을 효과적으로 처려를 위해서 생물학적 인 처리방안으로 활성슬러지 공정 및 입상활성란이 채워친 BACC 담제를 이용한 생물반응가에서의 유기물질 및 질소의 제거능에 때하여 조사하였다. 축산폐수를 일반 활성슬러지 공정으로 처려 할 경우 유압수를 희석하여 BOD 유입농도 약 600 mgfL의 폐수를 처리할 때 유출수의 BOD를 100 mgfL 이하로 유지하고자 할 경우 체류시간올 8일 이상 운전 해야하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 BACC 생물반응기에서 축산폐수를 처리할 때 체류시간이 200 시간일 때 유출수획 BOD, $COD_{Cr} $, TKN의 농도는 각각 94, 75, 64.3%의 제거효율을 나타내었다. BACC 생물반응기와 활성슬러지 공정을 비교 할 때 용적부하 0.3일 때 BOD 비기질제거속도가 활성슬러지 공정에서는 0.14 gBOD removedf L.day이고 BACC 생물반응기는 0.27 gBOD removed/L.day로서 통일부하에서 높은 제거효율을, 고부하에서도 안정된 제거효율을 나타내고 있기 때문에 BACC 생물반응기가 부하변통 및 고부하의 폐수처리에서 활성슬러지 공정보다 우수한 것으로 평가되었다.

Granular activated carbon(GAC) is highly effective in removing organic compounds which are resistant to biological disintegration in wastewater treatment. However, GAC has reached its full adsorptive capacity, GAC needs to be regenerated before it can be used for a further adsorption cycle. Countercurrent oxidative reaction (COR) technique has been developed and evaluated for the regeneration of spent GAC. Various parameters such as flame temperature, the loss of carbon, destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of organic compounds, surface area, surface structure, adsorptive capacity, etc. were examined to determine the performance of COR. The results of these tests showed that adosorptive capacity of regenerated GAC was completely recovered, the loss of carbon was controllable, flame temperature was high enough to insure complete destruction and removal $(\geq99.9999%)$ of specific organics of interest, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), that are thermally stable, and on formation of toxic byproducts such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) or polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were detected during the regeneration process. The COR technique is environmentally benign, easy to use and less copital intensive than other available regeneration technologies.

This study evaluated the removal efficiencies of methylene blue (MB) and humic acids (HA) using a rice husk (RH) biochar and powdered activated carbon (PAC). The pseudo-second-order model better presented the adsorption of MB and HA onto a RH biochar than the pseudo-first-order model. Furthermore, better description of the adsorption behavior of MB and HA by the Langmuir isotherm model (R² of the RH biochar: MB = 0.986 and HA = 0.984; R² of PAC: MB = 0.997 and HA = 0.989) than the Freundlich isotherm model (R² of the RH biochar: MB = 0.955 and HA = 0.965; R² of PAC: MB = 0.982 and HA = 0.973) supports the assumption that monolayer adsorption played key roles in the removal of MB and HA using the RH biochar and PAC. Batch experiments were performed on the effects of dosage, temperature, and pH. For all experiments, PAC showed higher efficiencies than RH biochar and MB adsorption efficiencies were higher than those of HA. Adsorption efficiencies increased with increasing amounts of adsorbents and temperature. As the pH increased, adsorption efficiencies of MB were increased while adsorption efficiencies of HA were decreased.
