Sewage Sludge 를 시용하지 않은 토양(W), 6년간 시용한 토양($WS_6$), Sludge와 토양의 혼합물을 1주일동안 incubation한 토양($WS_1$), 그리고 Sewage Sludge(SS)로 부터 추출한 수용성 유기물(WSOF)이 구리(II) 이온과 어떻게 착화합물을 형성하는지를 전자스핀공명분광법(ESR)과 전위차적정법을 이용하여 규명하였다. Cu(II)-WSOF 착화합물은 ESR spectra 상에서 $g_{\perp}$ 값보다 큰 $g_{\amalg}$ 값을 가짐으로서 늘어난 팔면체(elongated octahedron) 배위결합을 하고 있음을 나타내었다. $77^{\circ}K$에서 Cu(II)-SS착물은 anisotropic ESR spectrum을 보인 반면 Cu(II)-W착물은 anisotropic spectrum을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 결국 W의 산소공여 리간드가 Cu(II)와 강한 착화합물을 이루는 반면에 SS의 리간드는 Cu(II)와 거의 Chelate를 이루지 않고 있음을 의미한다. 또한 Cu(II)-SS 착화합물의 ESR spectra는 평면상의 네개의 모서리 리간드(예, $COO^-$, $H_2O$, $Cl^-$ 등등)의 각각이 한자리 리간드로서 독립적으로 행동하고 있음을 암시한다. W에서는 방향족 카복실기 같은 산소공여 리간드가 주로 Cu(II)와 결합하고 있는것 같고 SS에서는 Sulfonate, 지방족 카복실기 그리고 질소를 함유하는 리간드가 주요한 결합 site인 것 같다. Cu(II)-SS착화합물과 비교할때 Cu(II)-W로 부터 Cu(II)를 치환하는데 6배정도의 Pyridine 농도가 요구되었다.

Proliferation of Nocardia amarae cells in activated sludge has often been associated with the generation of nuisance foams. Despite intense research activities in recent years to examine the causes and control of Nocardia foaming in activated sludge, the foaming continued to persist throughout the activated sludge treatment plants in United States. In addition to causing various operational problems to treatment processes, the presence of Nocardia may have secondary effects on the fate of heavy metals that are not well known. For example, for treatment plants facing more stringent metal removal requirements, potential metal removal by Nocardia cells in foaming activated sludge would be a welcome secondary effect. In contrast, with new viosolid disposal regulations in place (Code o( Federal Regulation No. 503), higher concentration of metals in biosolids from foaming activated sludge could create management problems. The goal of this research was to investigate the metal sorption property of Nocardia amarae cells grown in batch reactors and in chemostat reactors. Specific surface area and metal sorption characteristics of N. amarae cells harvested at various growth stages were compared. Three metals examined in this study were copper, cadmium and nickel. Nocardia amarae strain (SRWTP isolate) used in this study was obtained from the University of California at Berkeley. The pure culture was grown in 4L batch reactor containing mineral salt medium with sodium acetate as the sole carbon source. In order to quantify the sorption of heavy metal ions to N amarae cell surfaces, cells from the batch reactor were harvested, washed, and suspended in 30mL centrifuge tubes. Metal sorption studies were conducted at pH 7.0 and ionlc strength of 10-2M. The sorption Isotherm showed that the cells harvested from the stationary and endogenous growth phase exhibited significantly higher metal sorption capacity than the cells from the exponential phase. The sequence of preferential uptake of metals by N. amarae cells was Cu>Cd>Ni. The specific surFace area of Nocardia cells was determined by a dye adsorption method. N.amarae cells growing at ewponential phase had significantly less specific surface area than that of stationary phase, indicating that the lower metal sorption capacity of Nocardia cells growing at exponential phase may be due to the lower specific surface area. The growth conditions of Nocardia cells in continuous culture affect their cell surface properties, thereby governing the adsorption capacity of heavy metal. The comparison of dye sorption isotherms for Nocardia cells growing at various growth rates revealed that the cell surface area increased with increasing sludge age, indicating that the cell surface area is highly dependent on the steady-state growth rate. The highest specific surface area of 199m21g was obtained from N.amarae cell harvested at 0.33 day-1 of growth rate. This result suggests that growth condition not only alters the structure of Nocardia cell wall but also affects the surface area, thus yielding more binding sites of metal removal. After reaching the steady-state condition at dilution rate, metal adsorption isotherms were used to determine the equilibrium distributions of metals between aqueous and Nocardia cell surfaces. The metal sorption capacity of Nocardia biomass harvested from 0.33 day-1 of growth rate was significantly higher than that of cells harvested from 0.5- and 1-day-1 operation, indicatng that N.amarae cells with a lower growth rate have higher sorpion capacity. This result was in close agreement with the trend observed from the batch study. To evaluate the effect of Nocardia cells on the metal binding capacity of activated sludge, specific surface area and metal sorption capacity of the mixture of Nocardia pure cultures and activated sludge biomass were determined by a series of batch experiments. The higher levels of Nocardia cells in the Nocardia-activated sludge samples resulted in the higher specific surface area, explaining the higher metal sorption sites by the mixed luquor samples containing greater amounts on Nocardia cells. The effect of Nocardia cells on the metal sorption capacity of activated sludge was evaluated by spiking an activated sludge sample with various amounts of pre culture Nocardia cells. The results of the Langmuir isotherm model fitted to the metal sorption by various mixtures of Nocardia and activated sludge indicated that the mixture containing higher Nocardia levels had higher metal adsorption capacity than the mixture containing lower Nocardia levels. At Nocardia levels above 100mg/g VSS, the metal sorption capacity of activate sludge increased proportionally with the amount of Noeardia cells present in the mixed liquor, indicating that the presence of Nocardia may increase the viosorption capacity of activated sludge.

This study was carried out on the stabilized/solidified treatment for the reducing leachability of hazardous heavy metals copper, lead, chromium and cadmium in the hazardous sludge which treated to be unleached heavy metals by sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate. Cement matrix was analyzed for the leachability of 24 hrs and dynamic leaching test, structure and the optimum condition for the stabilization and solidification of the hazardous sludge. In 28 days of curing time the unconfined compressive strength was 21.5 kg/cm$^2$ at the ratio of portland cement (0.5)+fly ash (0.25) and 23.5 kg/cmz at the ratio of portland cement (0.5)+fly ash (0.25) + cake (0.25). High concentration of Pb, Cr and Cd in the sea water and Cu in the distilled water were leached at the dynamic leaching test. The concentration of leaching heavy metals for specimens which were tested 24 hrs were found low leachability with decreasing pH of leachant. According to dynamic leaching test, the low level of copper, lead, cadmium and chromium were leached in the cement matrix with sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate. But the effective diffusion coefficient of unleached cement matrix which was treated sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate was decreased above 2 times than that of cement matrix. The relation of leachant renewal period (Y) and cumulative fraction ion leached (X) was the following regression equations. Solidification with unleached agent. Y$_{Cu}$ = 1413752X + 247, Y$_{Pb}$ = 223501IX + 214, Y$_{Cr}$ = 8310601X - 472, Y$_{Cd}$ = 168787X + 1061 The structure of' solidified matrix with X-ray diffraction analysis was composed more Ca(OH)$_2$, Si, Mg(OH)$_2$ and Al in the unleached cement matrix than those in cement matrix.

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) can be released to humans and the environment through the generation of waste containing engineered nanomaterials (WCNMs) and the use and disposal of nano-products. Nanoparticles can also be introduced intentionally or unintentionally into waste streams. This study examined WCNMs in domestic industries, and target nanomaterials, such as silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, nano silver, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), were selected. We tested 48 samples, such as dust, sludge, ash, and by-products from manufacturing facilities and waste treatment facilities. We analyzed leaching and content concentrations for heavy metals and hazardous constituents of the waste. Chemical compositions were also measured by XRD and XRF, and the unique properties of nano-waste were identified by using a particle size distribution analyzer and TEM. The dust and sludge generated from manufacturing facilities and the use of nanomaterials showed higher concentrations of metals such as lead, arsenic, chromium, barium, and zinc. Oiled cloths from facilities using nano silver revealed high concentrations of copper, and the leaching concentrations of copper and lead in fly ash were higher than those in bottom ash. In XRF measurements at the facilities, we detected compounds such as silicon dioxide, sulfur trioxide, calcium oxide, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. We found several chemicals such as calcium oxide and silicon dioxide in the bottom ash of waste incinerators.

연속회분식반응조(SBR) 공정에서 슬러지 체류시간(SRT)에 따른 중금속의 독성도 변화를 측정하였다. 중금속은 구리(Cu), 카드뮴(Cd) 및 아연(Zn)을 사용하였고, SRT는 $2\sim30$일로 변화시켰으며, 독성도는 INT-dehydrogenase 활성도의 변화로 측정하였다. 중금속의 농도가 증가함에 따라 독성도가 증가하였으며, Cu가 Zn 및 Cd 보다 독성도가 높았다. SRT를 변화시켰을 때 $IC_{50}$ 값이 Cu의 경우 $0.37\sim1.96$ mg/L의 범위를 나타내었으며, Cd의 경우는 $15.4\sim16.9$ mg/L를 나타내었다. 또한 Zn의 경우는 $9.70\sim23.4$ mg/L의 범위를 나타내었다. Cu와 Zn의 경우, SRT가 증가함에 따라 독성이 감소하였으며, 이는 긴 SRT에서 세포외 중합체의 농도가 증가하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 중금속을 포함한 산업폐수를 처리하는 SBR 공정에서 SRT를 길게 운영하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

ABS 농도 20${\mu}g$/ml 및 100${\mu}g$/ml에서 benzene ring은 각각 38% 및 45% 분해되었다. COD의 분해와 ABS 분해를 비교검토한 결과 COD는 배양 24시간까지 급격하게 분해 되었으나 그 이후부터 서서히 계속해서 분해되었으며 ABS는 처음부터 서서히 계속적으로 분해되었다. ABS를 첨가하지 않고 배양한 균과 ABS를 1,000${\mu}g$/ml 농도가 되게 첨가하여 배양한 균과의 균체내 아미노산조성을 비교한 결과 아미노산총량은 각각 104.9mg/g 및 115.0mg/g으로서 ABS를 첨가하여 배양한 분리균에서 9.4% 증가 되었으며, 균체내에 Glx(Glu + Gln) 및 proline이 각각 11.1%, 9.2%로 비교적 많이 함유하고 있었고, 특히 cysteine은 ABS를 첨가하지 않고 배양한 분리균에 비해 ABS를 첨가하여 배양한 균에서 약 2.4배 높게 나타났다. ABS를 첨가하지 않고 배양한 분리균은 산성 아미노산인 Asx(Asp + Asn)와 Glx(Glu + Gln)가 비교적 많이 생성된 반면, ABS를 첨가하여 배양한 분리균에서는 염기성 아미노산인 histidine, lysine 및 argnine이 비교적 많이 생성되었다.
