암모니아의 질산염으로의 산화는 2개의 산화과정으로 구분된다. 나이트로좀머나스(Nitrosomonas)에 의한 암모니아의 아질산염으로의 산화와 나이트로박터(Nitrobacter)에 의한 아질산염의 질산염으로의 산화이다. 아질산염 축적 과정을 거치는 질소의 제거는 포기를 위한 에너지의 절약, 탈질과정에서 투입되는 유기물의 절약 및 발생되는 슬러지의 양을 감소시킬 수 있는 다양한 장점들을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 아질산염 축적의 조건들을 찾기 위해 막분리 장치를 장착한 생물분리막 반응조(MBR)가 사용되었다. 생물 분리막 반응조는 성장속도가 늦어 쉽게 유실되어질 수 있는 독립영양 질산화 박테리아를 반응조내 충분히 유지시키는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 반응조내 용존산소와 암모니아의 농도를 변화시키며 아질산염 축적의 영향인자들을 조사하였다. 연구의 결과로 반응조내 높은 암모니아 농도는 아질산염 축적을 시작하는데 매우 효과적이었으며, 이러한 효과는 반응조내 낮은 용존산소 농도가 동시에 존재할 시 더욱 강화되었다. 낮은 용존산소 농도 $c'_{O2}<0.3$ $mgL^{-1}$ $O_2$와 높은 암모니아 농도 $c_{NH3}=6.3\sim14.9$ $mgL^{-1}$ $NH_3N$에서 아질산염 축적율 74%에 달성될 수 있었다. 특히 아질산염 축적이 많은 연구자들이 제시하는 것처럼 생물막 반응조에서 뿐만 아니라, MBR 반응조에서도 일어날 수 있음을 밝힌 것은 본 연구의 중요한 성과라 할 것이다.

The sludge settleability is a key factor for operating activated sludge process as well as BNR (biological nutrient removal) process, because the poor sludge settling causes an increase of suspended solid in the effluent. In order to improving the sludge settleability, a settling agent such as iron dust can be applied. In this study, the effect of sludge settleability on the performance of DNR (Daewoo nutrient removal) process was investigated with GPS-X, which is the popular wastewater treatment process model program, and the result of modeling was verified with operating lab-scale DNR process. As a result, if the sludge blanket keeps stable in the secondary settling tank, the effluent quality is similar in spite of different SVI values. And in case of the good sludge settleability, short HRT or long SRT increased the biomass concentration in the bioreactor, and improved the pollutant removal efficiency. In spite of daily influent changing, the good sludge settleability also guaranteed the stable effluent quality. And the results of the lab-scale DNR process experiment could support the simulated results.

Shikonin production was examined in a bubble column bioreactor system with the hairy roots of Lithosphermum erythrorhizon. The volumetric productivity was higher than those obtained from other reactor configurations with free or immobilized cells of the same cell line. The productivities of the bubble column reactor, with and without a product absorption trap, were 7.4 and 4.5 mg of shikonin/l/d, respectively. This indicated the importance of the product removal in the design and operation of the shikonin production system with hairy root culture.

This research was performed to examined the applicability of a fixed-biofilm process for the wastewater treatment of military installations. Utilizing plastic net media, synthetic wastewater-average $BOD_5$ cocentration was $192mg/l$ treated in the three sets of reactors that have 8 hours, 6 hours, and 4 hours of hydraulic retention time. The results of this experiment showed that the biofilm was not detached easily, and the reactor was not closed by excess biomass. The average soluble $BOD_5$ concentrations of effluent were $6.0mg/l$ with 8 hours of retention time, $11.3mg/l$ with 6 hours of retention time, and $19.4mg/l$ with 4 hours of retention time. Especially it was reduced to $5.7mg/l$ in the second stage reactor with 4 hours of retention time. These resulted that the fixed-biofilm process could be adapted for the treatment of military installation wastewater.

Pervaporation can be successfully utilized to recover alcohol from fermentation broths and dilute process streams. Polydimethylsiloxane (thickness: $60\mu$m), such as hydrophobic membrane have been employed in this application to produce an enriched product. The fermented alcohol was continuously extracted, and simultaneously concentrated by pervaporation, from the membrane bioreactor, and the extracted alcohol concentration was 6 to 10 times higher than in the broth. This experimental conditions were 6-10 Torr vacuum line, pH=5, $32^{\circ}C$, 3.5 liters of working volume, 200rpm of agitator speed, and 0.14 wm aeration flow rate.

The coupling of anaerobic biological process and membrane separation could provide excellent suspended solids removal and better biomass retention for wastewater treatment. This coupling improves the biological treatment process while allowing for the recovery of energy through biogas. This review gives a basic description of the anaerobic wastewater treatment process, summarizes the state of the art of anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), and describes the current research trends and needs for the development of AnMBRs. The research interest on AnMBR has grown over the conventional anaerobic processes such as upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB). Studies on AnMBRs have developed different reactor configurations to enhance performances. The AnMBR performances have achieved comparable status to other high rate anaerobic reactors. AnMBR is highly suitable for application with thermophilic anaerobic process to enhance performances. Studies indicate that the applications of AnMBR are not only limited to the high strength industrial wastewater treatment, but also for the municipal wastewater treatment. In recent years, there is a significant progress in the membrane fouling studies, which is a major concern in AnMBR application.

The present study examined a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) bioreactor on a laboratory scale for simultaneous removal of atrazine, organic carbon, and nutrients from wastewater. The maximum removal efficiency of atrazine, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) were 83.57%, 90.36%, 90.74% and 87.93 respectively. Increasing salinity up to 40 g/L NaCl in influent flow could inhibit atrazine biodegradation process strongly in the MBBR reactor.Results showed that MBBR is so suitable process for efficiently biodegrading of atrazine and nitrogen removal process was based on the simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) process.

The pilot study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of air flotation(AF) processes combined with biological nutrient removal(BNR) for the retrofitting of conventional wastewater treatment facilities. The BNR system was operated in pre-denitrification and intermittent aeration; developed ceramic membrane diffusers were installed to separate the solid-liquid of activated sludge at the bottom of a flotation tank. Before performing a pilot scale study, the size distribution of microbubbles generated by silica or alumina-based ceramic membrane diffusers was tested to identify the ability of solid-liquid separation. According to the experimental results, the separation and thickening efficiency of the alumina-based ceramic membrane diffuser was higher than the silica-based ceramic membrane diffuser. In a $100m^3/d$ pilot plant, thickened and return sludge concentration was measured to be higher than 15,000mg SS/L, therefore, the MLSS in the bioreactor was maintained at over 3,000mg SS/L. The effluent quality of the AF-BNR process was 4.2mg/L, 3.7mg/L, 10.6mg/L and 1.6mg/L for $BOD_5$, SS, T-N and T-P, respectively. Lastly, it was revealed that the unit treatment cost by flotation process is lower than about $1won/m^3$ compared to a gravity sedimentation process.
