Nitrogen removal, nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emission and microbial community in sequencing batch and continuous-flow intermittent aeration processes were investigated. Two sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) and two continuous-flow multiple anoxic and aerobic reactors (CMRs) were operated under high dissolved oxygen (DO) (SBR-H and CMR-H) and low DO (SBR-L and CMR-L) concentrations, respectively. Nitrogen removal was enhanced under CMR and low DO conditions (CMR-L). The highest total inorganic nitrogen removal efficiency of 91.5% was achieved. Higher nitrifying and denitrifying activities in SBRs were observed. CMRs possessed higher $N_2O$ emission factors during nitrification in the presence of organics, with the highest $N_2O$ emission factor of 60.7% in CMR-L. SBR and low DO conditions promoted $N_2O$ emission during denitrification. CMR systems had higher microbial diversity. Candidatus Accumulibacter, Nitrosomonadaceae and putative denitrifiers ($N_2O$ reducers and producers) were responsible for $N_2O$ emission.

Objective: An experiment was conducted to investigate the environment of the deep litter system and provided theoretical basis for production. Methods: The bedding samples were obtained from a pig breeding farm and series measurements associated with gases concentrations and the bacterial diversity as well as the quantity of Escherichia coli, Lactobacilli, Methanogens were performed in this paper. Results: The concentrations of $CO_2$, $CH_4$, and $NH_3$ in the deep litter system increased with the increasing of depth while the $N_2O$ concentrations increased fiercely from the 0 cm to the -10 cm depth but then decreased beneath the -10 cm depth. Meanwhile, the Shannon index, the dominance index as well as the evenness index at the -20 cm layer was significantly different from the other layers (p<0.05). On the other hand, the quantity of Escherichia coli reached the highest value at the surface beddings and there was a significant drop at the -20 cm layer with the increasing depth. The Lactobacilli numbers increased with the depth from 0 cm to -15 cm and then decreased significantly under the -20 cm depth. The expression of Methanogens reached its largest value at the depth of -35 cm. Conclusion: The upper layers (0 cm to -5 cm) of this system were aerobic, the middle layers (-10 cm to -20 cm) were micro-aerobic, while that the bottom layers (below -20 cm depth) were anaerobic. In addition, from a standpoint of increasing the nitrification pathway and inhibiting the denitrification pathway, it should be advised that the deep litter system should be kept aerobic.

Kinetic analysis was important to develope the biological nutrient removal process effectively. In this research, anoxic-anaerobic-aerobic system was operated to investigate kinetic behavior on the nutrient removal reaction. Nitrification and denitrification were important microbiological reactions of nitrogen. The kinetics of organic removal and nitrification reaction have been investigated based on a Monod-type expression involving two growth limiting substrates : TKN for nitrification and COD for organic removal reaction. The kinetic constans and yield coefficients were evaluated for both these reactions. Experiments were conducted to determine the biological kinetic coefficients and the removal efficiencies of COD and TKN at five different MLSS concentrations of 5000, 4200, 3300, 2600, and 1900 mg/L for synthetic wastewater. Mathematical equations were presented to permit complete evaluation of the this system. Kinetic behaviors for the organic removal and nitrification reaction were examined by the determined kinetic coefficient and the assumed operation condition and the predicted model formulae using kinetic approach. The conclusions derived from this experimental research were as follows : 1. Biological kinetic coefficients were Y=0.563, $k_d=0.054(day^{-1})$, $K_S=49.16(mg/L)$, $k=2.045(day^{-1})$ for the removal of COD and $Y_N=0.024$, $k_{dN}=0.0063(day^{-1})$, $K_{SN}=3.21(mg/L)$, $k_N=31.4(day^{-1})$ for the removal of TKN respectively. 2. The predicted kinetic model formulae could determine the predicted concentration of the activated sludge and nitrifier, investigate the distribution rate of input carbon and nitrogen in relation to the solid retention time (SRT).

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) can be classified as a type of self-immobilized microbial aggregates measuring more than 0.2 mm. It offers the option to simultaneously remove COD, N, and P that occur in different zones inside a granule. Also, AGS is characterized by high precipitability, treatability with high organic loading, and high tolerance to low temperature. In this study, a sequencing batch reactor inoculated with AGS (AGS-SBR) is a new advanced wastewater treatment process that was proven to grow AGS with integrated nutrient removal and low C/N ratio. A pilot plant, AGS-SBR with a capacity of 225 ㎥/d was installed at an S sewage treatment plant in Gyeonggi-do. The results of the operation showed that the water quality of the effluent indicated that the value of BOD5 was 1.5 mg/L, CODMn was 11.4 mg/L, SS was 6.2 mg/L, T-N was 13.2 mg/L, and T-P was 0.197 mg/L, and all of these values reliably satisfied an effluent standard (I Area). In winter, the T-N treatment efficiency at a lower temperature of less than 11℃ also showed reliability to meet the effluent standard of the I Area (20 mg/L or less). Analysis of microbial community in AGS showed a higher preponderance of beneficial microorganisms involved in denitrification and phosphorus accumulation compared with activated sludge. The power consumption and sludge disposal cost were reduced by 34.7% and 54.9%, respectively, compared to the domestic SBR type sewage treatment plant with a processing capacity of 1,000 ㎥/d or less.

Large amounts of waste and wastewater from aquaculture have negatively impacted ecosystems. Among them, shrimp aquaculture wastewater contains large amounts of nitrogen contaminants derived from feed residues in an aerobic environment. This study isolated candidate strains from adult rockworms to treat shrimp aquaculture wastewater (SAW) in an aerobic environment. Among 87 strains isolated, 25 grew well at the same temperature as the shrimp aquaculture with excellent polymer degradation ability (>0.5 cm clear zone). Six isolates (strains AL1, AL4, AL5, AL6, LA10, and PR15) were finally selected after combining strains with excellent polymer degradation ability without antagonism. 16S rRNA sequencing analysis revealed that strains AL1, AL4, AL5, AL6, LA10, and PR15 were closely related to Bacillus paramycoides, Bacillus pumilus, Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, Bacillus paranthracis, Bacillus paranthracis, and Micrococcus luteus, respectively. When these six isolates were applied to SAW, they reached a maximum cell viability of 2.06×10⁵ CFU mL^-1. Their chemical oxygen demand (COD_Cr) and total nitrogen(TN) removal rates for 12h were 51.0% and 44.6%, respectively, when the COD_Cr/TN ratio was approximately 10.0. Considering these removal rates achieved in this study under batch conditions, these six isolates could be used for aerobic denitrification. Consequently, these six isolates from rockworms are good candidates that can be applied to the field of aquaculture wastewater treatment.

호기조와 혐기/무산소조를 직렬로 연결한 인공습지를 이용하여 크게 오염된 하천수를 처리하였다. 호기조는 자연 공기 배출 시스템을 통하여 공기가 연속적으로 공급되어 호기성 상태가 유지되었다. 인공습지의 성능에 영향을 미치는 최적의 영향인자를 조사하기 위하여 체류시간을 다르게 한 5개의 파일럿 플랜트를 사용하였다. 호기조에서 BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)와 COD (chemical oxygen demand)의 제거율은 1차 반응 속도식을 나타내었고, COD 제거 속도 상수는 BOD보다 약간 낮았다. 온도 의존성은 COD (θ = 1.0079)와 BOD (θ = 1.0083)제거에 대한 값이 거의 동일했으나 T-N 제거의 온도 의존성(θ_N)은 1.0189로 다소 높게 나타났다. SS제거율은 98%로 높았고 수력학적 부하 속도(Q/A)가 증가함에 따라 제거 효율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 혐기/무산소조에서 BOD와 COD 제거의 주요 메커니즘은 호기조와 완전히 다르게 나타났다. 혐기/무산소조에서 COD와 COD는 생물학적 탈질을 위한 탄소원으로 공급되었고 T-P는 혐기/무산소조 내의 orthophosphate와 자갈 사이의 양이온 교환에 의해 제거되는 것으로 조사되었다. 인공습지는 여과된 고형물에 의해 막힘 없이 성공적으로 운영되었고 고형물들은 매우 빠르게 연속적으로 분해되었다.

본 연구는 양돈축사에서 발생하는 슬러리형의 폐수를 원수로 하여 미세기포(M.A)와 교반기(Mixer)을 통한 호기성 조건으로 액비화 처리시 특성을 분석하고자 한다. 실험초기 pH는 7.6으로 액비의 적정 pH 범위보다 조금 상회하는 것으로 나타났으며, pH상승은 VFAs와 연관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 호기성 조건으로 액비처리를 수행하였을 경우 BOD와 COD제거효율에 있어서 혐기성 조건에 비해 효과적으로 나타났으며, BOD의 경우 호기성조건에서 M.A+Mix는 70.9%, M.A는 67.8%로 나타났으며, COD는 M.A+Mix가 39%, M.A가 19%의 제거효율이 나타났다. $NH_3-N$의 경우 모든 조건에서 시간 경과에 따라 점차 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, 이는 질소의 특성과 pH상승에 따른 것으로 판단된다. $NO_3-N$에서는 모든 조건에 증가추세로 나타나 반응조 내에 $NO_3-N$이 축적되어 탈질율이 낮아지는 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 돈분뇨 액비의 비료성분 분석결과, 혐기성 조건에 비해 호기성 조건인 M.A+Mix에서 비료성분 함유율이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

호기 상태에서 ${NO_X}^-$-N이 PAOs에 의한 인 흡수속도에 미치는 영향을 각기 세 가지 조건의 회분식 실험을 통하여 관찰하였다. 실험 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 인 과잉흡수가 이루어지는 호기 상태에서 PAOs는 ${NO_X}^-$-N에 의해 인 흡수에 방해를 받는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 인 흡수속도에 있어 ${NO_3}^-$-N보다 같은 농도의 ${NO_2}^-$-N가 PAOs의 인 흡수속도를 저하시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 10 mg/L의 같은 농도로 유입되었음에도 불구하고 ${NO_2}^-$-N에 의한 인 흡수속도는 15.61 mg/gVSS로 10 mg/L의 ${NO_3}^-$-N가 공급된 실험에서의 인 흡수속도 28.30 mg/gVSS보다 낮은 속도를 나타냈다. 3) 반응기내의 ${NO_2}^-$-N 농도가 2 mg/L 이상으로 존재할 시 PAOs의 인 흡수속도는 ${NO_X}^-$-N가 존재하지 않는 조건에서 인 흡수 속도의 24%를 나타냈으며, ${NO_3}^-$-N의 농도가 3 mg/L 이상으로 존재할 경우 ${NO_X}^-$-N가 존재하지 않는 조건에서 인 흡수 속도의 17% 이하로 감소하는 것으로 나타나 ${NO_2}^-$-N가 PAOs의 인 흡수에 심각한 저해를 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 4) 반응기내에 ${NO_2}^-$-N와 ${NO_3}^-$-N가 함께 존재할 시에는 ${NO_X}^-$-N가 존재하지 않는 조건에서 인 흡수 속도의 6% 이하로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 5) ${NO_2}^-$-N는 EBPR의 붕괴에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소로 판명되었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of hydraulic backwash load and porous ceramic media on the biological nitrogen removal efficiencies of a biological aerated filter. An upflow anoxic-oxic biological aerated filter(AO-BAF) with porous ceramic media can remove nitrogen by nitrification and denitrification in single unit. After the AO-BAF backwash, nitrogen removal efficiency was lowest and gradually increased to the steady state. Nitrification efficiency, however, showed the opposite result. It is likely that the biofilms are exposed to aerobic condition as the excess biofilms were sloughed off by backwashing
