Effects of aqueous ammonia soaking treatments to yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) were investigated to focus on chemical compositional changes and enzymatic hydrolysis characteristics changes by this treatment. Treatment temperature and time were main variables. At 3 different levels of aqueous ammonia soaking temperature and time ($145^{\circ}C$ -1 h, $90^{\circ}C$ -16 h and $45^{\circ}C$ - 6 days), lower temperature and longer soaking time led to more xylan removal based on carbohydrate compositional analysis. However, at higher temperature treatment led to more enzymatic saccharification of cellulose to glucose by commercial cellulose mixtures (Celluclast 1.5L and Novozym 342 from Novozyme, Denmark). Cellulose hydrolysis was gradually increased with increasing enzymatic hydrolysis time but xylan hydrolysis was leveled out at early stage (less than 10 h) of enzymatic hydrolysis.

The effect of temperature and influent alkalinity/ammonia (K/A) ratio on the start-up of the partial nitrification (PN) process for an activated sludge-based domestic wastewater treatment was studied. Two different sequence batch reactors (SBR) were operated at 26 ℃ and 32 ℃. The relationship between temperature and the concentration of free ammonia (FA) and free acid nitrite (FNA) was investigated. A stable PN process was achieved in the 32 ℃ reactor when the influent ammonium concentration was lower than 150 mg-N/L. In contrast, the PN process in the 26 ℃ reactor had a higher nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) and ammonium removal efficiency (ARE) when the influent ammonia concentration was increased to more than 150 mg-N/L. Then three different ranges of the K/A ratio were applied to an SBR reactor. In the K/A range of 2.48~1.65, the SBR reactor achieved the highest NAR ratio (75.78%). This ratio helps to achieve the appropriate level of alkalinity to maintain a stable pH and provide a sufficient amount of inorganic carbon source for the activity of microorganisms. At the same time, FA and FNA values also reached the threshold to inhibit nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) without a significant effect on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). Results showed that the control of temperature and K/A ratio during the start-up period may be important in establishing a stable and steady PN process for the treatment of domestic wastewater.

Postprandial ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus fed two different feed types, moist pellet (MP) and expanded pellet (EP) diets, to satiation were determined at $12^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 h. The ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption rates increased with increasing water temperature. However, the postprandial times for the maximum rates of ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption were shortened from 12 h to 6 h after feeding with increasing water temperature. The ammonia excretion and oxygen consumption rates of the fish fed EP were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those fed MP at 12 h post-feeding both for $12^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$. The highest (P < 0.05) weight-specific ammonia excretion rates at $12^{\circ}C$ were observed in the fish fed EP and MP at $12.1mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $8.7mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively, for 12 h and 9 h after feeding. The highest (P < 0.05) weight-specific oxygen consumption rates at $12^{\circ}C$ were observed in fish fed EP and MP at $116.4mg\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $101.0mg\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively, for 12 h after feeding. The highest ammonia excretion rates at $25^{\circ}C$ in the fish fed EP and MP increased to $16.9mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $18.3mg\;NH_3-N\;kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively, for 6 h after feeding. The highest (P < 0.05) weight-specific oxygen consumption rates at $25^{\circ}C$ were observed in fish fed EP and MP at $184.3mg\;O_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ and $197.3mg\;O_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$, respectively. These data are valuable for the design of biofilters and development of effluent treatment technologies for the land-based flounder farms.

고농도의 암모니아성질소를 함유하는 폐수의 처리에 전기투석공정의 적용성이 실험적으로 평가되었다. 처리 성능은 전기투석공정의 운전인자 중 유입농도, 운전전압, 그리고 유속이 암모니아성질소의 제거효율에 미치는 영향으로 측정되었다. 한계전류밀도는 유입농도와 유입유속이 증가함에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였고, 유입농도에 따라 목표농도에 도달하는 시간은 직선적인 비례관계를 보였다. 상대적으로 큰 암모니아성질소의 이온당량전도도와 이온이동도로 인하여 유입유속의 증가는 제거속도를 지속적으로 증가시켰다. 또한 운전전압의 증가에 따라 제거속도는 증가하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 전기투석모듈에서 고농도의 암모니아성질소를 제거하는 운전조건으로 유입유속은 3.2 L/min, 운전전압은 한계전류밀도에 해당하는 전압의 80~90%가 추천된다.

The objective of the research was to investigate the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) or urea supplementation in sheep and goats fed a basal diet of Acacia saligna and wheat straw. The 3 dietary treatments were: (1) Control: ad libitum A. saligna+ 400 g/d wheat straw (95% DM) (basal diet); (2) Basal diet+50 g/d PEG 4000; and (3) Basal diet+1% (on a DM basis) urea sprayed onto the straw and A. saligna 30 min prior to feeding. All animals maintained live weight, regardless of the dietary treatment. All sheep readily consumed the A. saligna in preference to straw. In sheep both DMD and OMD were higher (p<0.05) where PEG was included in the diet compared to the other two treatments. Contrary to findings by other researchers there was no significant difference in DMI, DMD or OMD between sheep and goats in corresponding treatment groups. All animals were in positive N balance. For both sheep and goats, rumen ammonia concentrations were increased with the use of either urea or PEG. In these groups the maximum ammonia concentrations exceeded 50 mg/L, considered the minimum required to maximise microbial growth. This threshold, however, was exceeded only for a period of 8-11 h. Of those measured, rumen ammonia levels were generally the highest at 4 h post feeding. None of the measurements of rumen ammonia for the control group approached 50 mg/L. It is unclear how and why feed intake and live weight were maintained when rumen ammonia levels were often sub-optimal.

The analysis and quantification of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) is crucial, as they initiate the biological removal of ammonia-nitrogen from sewage. Previous methods for analyzing the microbial community structure, which involve the plating of samples or culture media over agar plates, have been inadequate because many microorganisms found in a sewage plant are unculturable. In this study, to exclusively detect AOB, the analysis was carried out via denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis using a primer specific to the amoA gene, which is one of the functional genes known as ammonia monooxygenase. An AOB consortium (S1 sample) that could oxidize an unprecedented 100% of ammonia in 24 h was obtained from sewage sludge. In addition, real-time PCR was used to quantify the AOB. Results of the microbial community analysis in terms of carbon utilization ability of samples showed that the aeration tank water sample (S2), influent water sample (S3), and effluent water sample (S4) used all the 31 substrates considered, whereas the AOB consortium (S1) used only Tween 80, D-galacturonic acid, itaconic acid, D-malic acid, and $_L$-serine after 192 h. The largest concentration of AOB was detected in S1 ($7.6{\times}10^6copies/{\mu}l$), followed by S2 ($3.2{\times}10^6copies/{\mu}l$), S4 ($2.8{\times}10^6copies/{\mu}l$), and S3 ($2.4{\times}10^6copies/{\mu}l$).

Livestock wastewater containing concentrated organic matters and nutrients has been known as one of the major pollutants. It is difficult to apply the conventional activated sludge process to treat livestock wastewater because of high Non-biodegradable (NBD) matter and ammonia. The objectives of this study are to remove NBD matters including aromatic compounds and ammonia in livestock wastewater using Coagulation-Fenton oxidation-Zeolite (CFZ) processes and ascertain applicable feasibility in the field through pilot plant experiment. NBD matters and color remained in the treated water were removed over 92% by Fenton oxidation as the second treatment process. Ammonia was removed by over 99.5% in the zeolite ion exchange process as the last treatment method. From $UV_{254}$, $E_2/E_3$ ratio and GC/MS analyses of treated water at each process, the aromatic compound was converted to aliphatic and aromaticity was decreased. In pilot scale test, organics and ammonia removal efficiencies were not much different from the result of lab-scale test at various operation conditions. Furthermore, reaction time and dosage of Fenton reagent in pilot scale experiment reduced by 40 min and 50% rather than in lab-scale test. $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N and T-P of treated water in the pilot-scale experiment also met the effluent standards.

The objectives of this research were focused on the effects of various operating parameters on nitrous oxide emission such as C/N ratio, ammonia concentration and HRT in the hybrid and suspension reactors. With the decreasing of C/N ratios, $N_2O$ emission rates in the both processes were increased because organic carbon source for denitrification was depleted. In case of biofilm reactor operated using medium, $N_2O$ release from the nitrification was not affected by the variation of ammonia concentration. But in the suspension reactor, $N_2O$ production from the nitrification was rapidly increased with the increase of ammonia. Nitrite accumulation caused by undesirable nitrification conditions could be a important reason for the increase in the $N_2O$ production from the aerobic reactor. And rapid increase in $N_2O$ production was reflected by the decrease of HRT, similar to the results observed in the results of ammonia loading changes. So it could be said that it is very important to put in consideration both its optimum conditions for wastewater treatment efficiency and suitable conditions for $N_2O$ diminish, simultaneously, in order to development an eco-friendly and advanced wastewater treatment, especially in BNR process.

본 연구는 하수처리시설의 유기성슬러지가 알칼리 안정화 처리시설을 거쳐 발생되는 암모니아의 특성을 조사하였다. 암모니아 검지관을 통해 알칼리 안정화 처리시설의 혼합 및 양생 공정에서 87.78 ppm($66.62mg/m^3$) ~ 1,933 ppm($1,467.01mg/m^3$) 으로 높은 농도의 암모니아가 검출 되었다. 이는 하수처리오니의 질소산화물이 생석회와 혼합되며 암모니아로 변환되는 것으로 예상된다. 일부 시설에서는 황화수소, 메틸메르캅단이 비교적 높은 농도로 검출되었으나, 대부분의 시설에서는 암모니아를 제외한 악취 물질은 검출되지 않았다. 공정 중 암모니아의 농도는 일반적으로 혼합 > 양생 > 반출 > 저장 > 건조 > 입고 순으로 높게 나타났다. 현재 운영 중인 5개 알칼리 안정화 처리시설에서 발생된 악취 물질들은 황산과 차아염소산 등을 사용하여 습식처리하는 것으로 조사되었다. 각 시설은 1 ppm($0.76mg/m^3$), 50 ppm($37.95mg/m^3$) 또는 100 ppm($75.89mg/m^3$)으로 방출되도록 설계되었으나 설계 기준을 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 암모니아의 경우, 일부 알칼리 안정화 처리시설은 노동부가 정한 노출기준을 초과하는 것으로 조사되었다. 이것은 향후 근로자의 안전을 위해 적절한 환기가 필요함을 의미하고 있다. 또한, 암모니아를 포함한 악취물질이 시설의 부지경계선에서 검지관으로 검출되지 않았으나, 현재의 운전상태로 볼 때, 미량의 악취물질이 존재할 것으로 판단된다.

기존의 토양상 및 퇴비상을 이용한 악취제거가 주로 흡착에 의존한 나머지 탈취상이 쉽게 탈취능의 한계에 이른다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 미생물 활성 탈취상의 조건인 높은 유기물함량, 보수성, 통기성 및 낮은 정압 등을 고르게 갖추고 있는 토탄에 활성슬러지를 식종하여 분뇨처리장, 하수처리장 등에서 발생빈도 및 취기강도가 큰 무기성악취 중 암모니아의 제거실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 자연 토탄상에서는 암모니아의 토탄수분에 의한 이온화에 따라서 pH가 상승하여 암모니아의 자연 유출 현상이 관찰되었다. 암모니아 제거 기작은 주로 음이론 콜로이드에 의한 흡착에 의존하였다. 미생물 활성 토탄상에서는 미생물 활동에 따른 pH의 완만한 상승으로 이론적 암모늄 이온의 비율이 자연토탄상보다 높았으나, 실제로 토탄상에 축적된 암모니아성 질소의 값은 질산균의 질산화에 의해 자연 토탄상보다 적었다. 암모니아의 제거기작은 반응조 운영 초기에는 흡착이 우세하였으며, 중반이후에는 질산화가 두드러졌다. 실험으로 얻은 암모니아 유입부하량, 암모니아 유출부하량, $NH_4{^+}$-N, $NO_x$-N, Org-N을 이용하여 질소에 대한 물질수지(Mass Balance)를 산정하고, 실험결과로 얻은 미생물 활성 탈취상의 최대 활성 시점인 비정상상태의 임계시간과 회귀분석에 의해 구한 암모니아의 흡착곡선을 이용하여 미생물 활성 토탄상에서 흡착능 포화의 연장시간을 산정하였다.
