여러 가지의 탄소 및 에너지원이 존재하는 상태에서 탈질 미생물에 의한 TNT의 최적분해조건을 회분식 실험을 통하여 도출하고자 하였다. 탈질 미생물의 성장률은 배양액에 TNT가 없을 때 가장 왕성하게 나타났으며 배양액에 TNT와 질산이온이 공존하는 경우에는 경쟁적으로 전자 수용체로 작용하여 탈질 미생물의 성장이 지연되었다. TNT가 질소원 또는 에너지원으로 배양액에서 작용할 때 가장 빠른 TNT 제거율을 보여 주었으며 배양액의 Yeast Extract의 첨가는 질산이온의 환원율을 가속화하였다. 미생물의 성장과 TNT 분해율의 직접적인 상관관계는 없었으며 본 실험을 통하여 TNT의 분해산물을 완전히 파악하지는 못하였으나 TNT의 니트로그룹이나 아미노그룹을 함유하지 않는 또 다른 분해산물을 생성하였음을 알 수 있었는데 이러한 결과는 차후 TNT의 무해화 공정 적용에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to determine the potential applicability of slowly released molasses (SRM) to treat nitratecontaminated groundwater. SRM was made by dispersing molasses in hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose-silicamicrocrystalline cellulose matrix. Column test indicated that SRM could continuously release molasses with slowly decreasing release rates of $64.6mg-COD/L{\cdot}h$ up to 65 hrs, $12.1mg-COD/L{\cdot}h$ up to 215 hrs, and $4.4mg-COD/L{\cdot}h$up to 361 hrs. A batch test using an isolated indigenous heterotrophic denitrifier Pseudomonas sp. KY1 having nitrite reductase (nirK) and liquid molasses demonstrated that the bacterium decreased 100 mg-N/L of nitrate to less than 10 mg-N/L at the C/N ratio of 10/1 in 48 hours. In a Pseudomonas sp. KY1-attached Ottawa sand column which continuously received molasses from a SRM-containing reservoir, the bacterium successfully removed nitrate from 20 mg-N/L to 3 mg-N/L during the 361 hours of column operation. The results showed the possibility that SRM can be used as a reliable, longterm extra carbon source for indigenous heterotrophic denitrifiers.

The purpose of this study is to develop effective operating process in order to achieve more suitable conditions of Anoxic-Oxic-Anoxic-Stripper(AOAS) SBR through real-time control. To improve the removal efficiency, glucose, methanol and synthetic food waste acid fermentant were added as an external carbon source, In the case of glucose and synthetic food waste acid fermentant, TN, TP were removed to average 86.9%, 73.0% respectively. Methanol was removed to average 64.6%, 55.4% respectively. The synthetic food waste acid fermentant proved to be the most efficient and allowed for the substitution of an external carbon source. The removal rate of $COD_{Cr}$, was approximately 90% at all cases. The results of the study that a correlation between ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential), pH and DO and nitrification or denitrification when an external carbon source is added and when it isn't was showed that ${\Delta}ORP$ is suitable parameter. ORP reacted properly to denitrification (${\Delta}ORP<-10$) and nitrification (${\Delta}ORP<0$). The use of real-time control saved anywhere between 61 and 67 minutes at the anoxic(1) stage and 26 to 52 minutes at the oxic(1) stage. When the time saved from the anoxic(1) and oxic(1) was added to the anoxic(2) stage for the removal efficiency of TN and TP increased from 0.7 to 13.9% and 12 to 35 % respectively.

This research presents results from laboratory and pilot-scale experiments to remove high-nitrate in pickling wastewater using the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) as a biological method. During the experimental periods, the influent concentrations of NOx-N and $Ca^{+2}$ were analyzed to be 350-1,600 and 700-800 mg/L, respectively. In order to provide carbon source for denitrification, methanol has been added in proportion to the influent nitrate loading. The mean concentrations of MLSS and MLVSS, the fraction of volatile solids in sludge and the sludge volume index were measured to be 27 g/L, 5 g/L, 18.5% and 7.5, respectively. The solid retention time was kept in the range of 18 to 22 days, specific denitrification rate ($U_{dn}$) was $0.301g{NO_3}^--N/gVSS/day$. The oxidized nitrogen concentration of effluent ranged 2-34 mg/L with an average of 5.2 mg/L, the overall reduction in total nitrogen was more than 99.2%. In order to treat the pickling wastewater including the high concentration of nitrate and $Ca^{+2}$, the continuous flow process is not suitable because the specific gravity of the sludge is considerably increased by $Ca^{+2}$, thus the SBR process is shown to be very effective to treat the pickling wastewater.

Since anaerobic/anoxic/oxic process, which is a typical mainstream biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal process, utilizes influent organic matter as an external carbon source for phosphorus release in anaerobic or anoxic stage, influent COD/T-P ratio gives a strong influence on performance of phosphorus removal process. In this study, a bench scale experiment was carried out for SBR process to investigate nitrogen and phosphorus removal at various influent COD/T-P ratio and nitrate loadings of 23~73 and 1.6~14.3g $NO_3{^-}-N/kg$ MLSS, respectively. The phosphorus release and excess uptake in anoxic condition were very active at influent COD/T-P ratios of 44 and 73. However, its release and uptake was not obviously observed at COD/T-P ratio of 23. Consequently, phosphorus removal efficiency was decreased. In addition, the phosphorus release and uptake rate in anoxic condition increased as the nitrate loading decreased. Specific denitrification rate had significantly high correlation with organic materials and nitrate loadings of the anoxic phase too. The rate of phosphorus release and uptake in the anoxic condition were $0.08{\sim}0.94kg\;S-P/kg\;MLSS{\cdot}d$ and $0.012{\sim}0.1kg\;S-P/kg\;MLSS{\cdot}d$, respectively.

Biosorption technology was used to remove hazardous materials from wastewater, herbicide, heavy metals, and radioactive compounds, based on binding capacities of various biological materials. Biosorption process can be explained by two steps; the first step is that target contaminants is in contact with microorganisms and the second is that the adsorbed target contaminants is infiltrated with inner cell through metabolically mediated or physico-chemical pathways of uptake. Until recently, no information is available to explain the definitive mechanism of biosorption. The purpose of this study is to evaluate biosorption capabilities of organic matters using activated sludge and to investigate affecting factors upon biosorption. Over 49% of organic matter could be removed by positive biosorption reaction under anoxic condition within 10 minutes. The biosorption capacities were constant at around 50 mg-COD/mg-MLSS for all batch experiments. As starvation time increased under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, biosorption capacity increased since higher stressed microorganisms by starvation was more brisk. Starvation stress of microorganisms was higher at aerobic condition than anaerobic one. As temperature increased or easily biodegradable carbon sources were used, biosorption capacities increased. Consequently, biosorption can be estimated by biological -adsorbed capability of the bacterial cell-wall and we can achieve the cost-effective and non -residual denitrification with applying biosorption to the bio-reduction of nitrate.

The aim of this research is to derive an optimum operating condition for the thermal solubilization equipment that is employed to increase concentration of soluble organic materials and to assess whether it would be possible to use the waste sludge generated by thermal solubilization reaction as an external carbon source in biological denitrification process. For the purpose, we have constituted a laboratory-size thermal solubilization equipment and have assessed thermal hydrolysis efficiency based on various reaction temperature and reaction time. We have also derived SDNR using the waste sludge generated by thermal solubilization reaction through a batch experiment. As a result of research, the highest thermal hydrolysis efficiency of about 42.8% was achieved at $190^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and at 90 minutes of reaction time. And when SDNR was derived using the waste sludge, the value obtained was $0.080{\sim}0.094\;g\;NO_3{^-}-N/g\;MLVSS{\cdot}day$, showing SDNR that is higher than that obtained by the results of existing researches that used common wastewater as an external carbon source. Accordingly, in view of the fact that food wastes vary quite a bit in characteristics based on the area they are generated from and seasonal change, it seems that a flexible operation of thermal solubilization equipment is required through on-going monitoring of food wastes that are imported to food wastes recycling facilities.

질산성질소와 트리클로로에틸렌(TCE)을 동시에 제거하고자 이들을 화학적 생물학적으로 환원 및 수착시키는 반응매질로서 영가철과 피트(peat)를 이용하였다. 영가철의 수중산화로 발생된 수소가 질산성질소와 TCE를 환원시켜 두 물질이 제거하는데 TCE의 수착제거가 가능한 피트를 이용하고 그에 따른 혼합미생물의 생분해 및 전자전달의 효과를 이용하였다. 질산성질소의 경우 영가철과 피트혼합매질에서 제거효율이 우수하나 제거기작이 환원에 의존하므로 TCE가 공존시 전자에 대한 경쟁으로 그 제거효율이 감소하였으며 멸균처리한 피트를 사용한 실험군과의 결과비교로 탈질균의 작용을 알 수 있었다. TCE의 경우 영가철이 함유된 매질에서 제거효율이 높으며 질산염 공존이 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 생분해하는 혐기성 미생물군의 존재는 시스템에서 발생한 수소와 메탄가스 분석으로 확인하였다.

본 연구는 생물학적 처리공정의 하나인 SBR을 이용하여, 양돈폐수중의 유기물과 질소, 인의 동시 제거를 목적으로 적정의 수리학적 체류시간(HRT)과 반응기간 중 교반/폭기 시간비(M/A) 및 적정의 교반/폭기 시간비에서의 외부탄소원의 주입기간(Injection Time)에 따른 변화에 따른 실험 결과로부터 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) $NH_4{^+}-N$의 제거효율은 M/A가 0.0/22.0일 때(Run 1) 가장 효율이 좋았으며, 외부탄 소원을 주입했을 경우 탈질균의 증식으로 인해서 질산화가 잘 이루어지지 않기 때문에 주입시간이 길어질수록 증가하였다. T-N의 제거효율은 M/A가 증가할수록, 외부탄소원 주입시간이 길어질수록 증가하였다. (2) T-P의 제거효율은 운전조건에 따라 큰 차이를 보이고 있으며, M/A가 증가할수록 제거효율은 증가하였으며, 외부탄소원의 주입기간을 두고 보았을때, 주입기간을 짧게 할 경우 탈질균의 증식으로 인해서 탈질이 더 효율적으로 이루어지기 때문에 그 제거효율은 증가하였다. (3) 총 반응시간 22시간 중 M/A 16.5/5.5, 무산소 기간의 16.5시간 중 15시간동안 외부탄소원을 주입했을 경우(Run 4-1)의 운전조건에서 유기물 및 질소 제거에 가장 효율적이었다. 각각의 효율을 살펴보면, $COD_{Cr}$, $COD_{Mn}$ 그리고 $BOD_5$인 경우, 각각 90.6%, 87.7% 그리고 96.1%이고, T-N의 경우 86.6%, T-P인 경우는 84.5%로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 도시하수를 이용하여 two-sludge 시스템방식의 SBR3 공정의 질소제거 효율 향상능을 평가하기 위해 기존 재래식 SBR 공정(SBR1) 및 분할주입(step-feeding)을 통해 탈질효율 향상을 도모한 SBR2 공정과의 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 도시하수를 대상으로 한 연구결과 two-sludge 시스템 방식으로 질산화 반응이 별도의 반응조에서 진행되며(external nitrification), 질산화된 질산염은 생흡착된 유기물을 이용하여 효과적으로 탈질되는 SBR3 공정이 SBR1 및 SBR2 반응조에 비해 T-N 제거효율면에서 우수함이 관찰되었다. SBR3 공정과 SBR1 및 SBR2 공정의 T-N 제거효율 차이는 낮은 C/N 비에서 더 크게 관찰되었으며 이는 생흡착 기작을 이용하는 SBR3 공정이 SBR1 및 SBR2 공정에 비해 탈질시 유기물 이용을 효율적으로 함을 의미한다. SBR3 공정은 T-N 유입 부하율에 따른 T-N 제거효율 관계에서도 SBR1 및 SBR2 공정에 비해 성능이 우수함을 관찰할 수 있었다. SBR3 공정이 SBR1 및 SBR2 공정에 비해 높은 T-N 부하율에서도 질소제거효율이 높은 원인은 SBR3 공정이 two-sludge 시스템 방식으로 운영됨에 따라 질화박테리아가 독립된 반응조에서 질산화를 수행하므로(external nitrification) 질산화 반응시 소요되는 수리학적 체류시간을 단축시킬 수 있기 때문이다.
