This study was conducted to develop a new RBC process available for the effective removal of organic matters and nitrogen in sewage. The RBC process for the oxidation organic compounds and nitrification was designed to occur at the 1st-stage and next-stage RBC respectively. Then nitrified water was recycled to the denitrifying RBC located at the lower part of the 1st-stage RBC. Some results were summarized as follows. 1. The loading limitation was represented as $60g{\cdot}COD/gm^2/day$ in experiment of simultaneous removal of organic matter and nitrogen. The maxmum COD % removal was 85% at the load $35g{\cdot}COD/m^2/day$. 2. The $NO_3-N$ % removal was approximately 80% at the load $60g{\cdot}COD/m^2/day$ and the maximum $NO_3-N$ remaval rate was $3.9g{\cdot}COD/m^2/day$ and the overall C/N ratio of 11.0 as required to achive 80% of $NO_3-N$% removal. 3.$NO_3-N$ removal rate was rapidly decreased above the load $7g{\cdot}NH_4{^+}-N/m^2/day$ and the maximum $NO_3-N$ removal rate was $3.7g{\cdot}NO_3-N/m^2/day$. 4. Irrespective of the recycle ratio, the COD % removal at the system of 2-stage RBC unit was nearly constant as 89% while the maximum one in the 1st-stage unit was 77% in the case of 50% recycle. 5. The maximum COD % removal in the 3-stage RBC system was 93% while 1st-stage one being 80%, under the $NH_4{^+}-N$ load of $7.4g/m^2{\cdot}d$. Also maximum percentage of nitrification and denitrification was 69% and 41% respectively, under the same $NH_4{^+}-N$ load.

현재 암모늄과 질산이온에 의한 수질 오염은 생태계에 있어 심각한 문제로 떠오르고 있다. 미생물에 의한 생물학적인 제거 공정은 질화 과정과 탈질 과정으로 구분되는데 암모늄이온은 질화 과정에 의해 질산염 이온으로 산화되고 질산염 이온은 다음 단계인 탈질 과정에서 질소 기체로 되어 제거 된다. 천연 제올라이트는 양이온 교환능이 뛰어나 암모늄이온($NH_4{^+}$)의 제거에 우수한 것으로 알려져 있지만 흡착만으로 암모늄과 질산이온($NO_3{^-}$)을 충분히 제거할 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제올라이트와 미생물을 이용해 생물학적인 방법으로 암모늄과 질산이온을 동시에 제거하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 암모늄이온의 제거는 분말형 Beneficial bacteria(Savio, USA)의 종배양 단계를 거쳐 제올라이트가 충진된 컬럼과 진탕배양을 동시에 하였을 경우에 14시간 후에 완전히 제거되었고 질산이온은 제올라이트에 미생물을 자연 흡착시켜 컬럼 처리시 4시간 후에 100% 제거됨을 확인하였다.

Feasibility of simultaneous removal of organic materials and nitrogen in the wastewater from fisheries processing plant was evaluated using entrapped mixed microbial cell (EMMC) process. The experiment was performed using activated sludge from municipal sewage treatment plant which was immobilized with gel matrix by cellulose triacetate. It was found the stable operation at the treatment system which is composed of anoxic and oxic tank, was possible when the organic and nitrogen loading rates were increased stepwise. The organic and nitrogen loading rates were conducted from 0.65 to $1.72kgCOD/m^3/d$ and from 0.119 to $0.317kg\;T-N/m^3/d$ with four steps, respectively. The maximum nitrogen loading rate which could satisfy the regulated effluent standard of nitrogen concentration, was $0.3kg\;T-N/m^3/d$. The removal efficiency of total nitrogen was decreased apparently as increasing nitrogen loading rates, whereas the removal efficiency of ammonium nitrogen was effective at the all tested nitrogen loading rates. Therefore, it was concluded that nitrification was efficient at the system. Nitrate was removed efficiently at the anoxic tank. whereas the nitrification efficiency at the oxic tank ranged 94.0% to 96.9% at the tested loading rates. The removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and those of total nitrogen at the entire system ranged from 94.2% to 96.6% and 73.4% to 83.4%, respectively.

본 연구는 여재가 모래와 무연탄인 복층 중력식 급속여과법으로 BNR(biological nutrient removal) 공정 유출수를 처리할 때 여과율의 변화에 따른 오염물질 제거효율 및 여층 깊이별 처리수질을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. Pilot scale의 4-stage BNR 공정 유출수를 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율로 급속여과시킨 결과, 처리수는 2.6 NTU 이하의 탁도를 나타내어 우리나라의 중수도 제한수질인 5.0 NTU를 만족하였다. 여과율이 200, 300 및 400 m/day로 증가함에 따라 SS 제거효율은 각각 80.6, 75.4 및 68.9%로 감소하는 경향을 보였지만, 여과수는 모든 여과율에서 유입수의 수질변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않고 평균 1.3 mg/L의 SS 농도를 보였다. 생물학적 작용에 의하여 영양염류도 제거되었는데, 200, 300 및 400 m/day의 여과율에서 질산화효율이 각각 17.4, 18.8 및 14.3%, 그리고 탈질효율이 각각 32.3, 27.7 및 21.4%로, 질산화와 탈질이 동시에 일어났다. 여과주기의 후반기에는 여층 내의 DO가 결핍됨에 따라 인의 재용출이 일어남으로써 유출수의 T-P 농도가 유입수에 비하여 6.1~21.4% 증가하였다.

축산폐수는 고농도의 유기물 및 질소를 함유하고 있으므로 적절한 처리 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구는 황을 이용한 독립영양 탈질 방법으로 질산성 질소에서 질소가스로의 탈질이 아닌 아질산성질소에서의 황산화 탈질을 연구하였으며 탈질 미생물의 최적 성장 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 초기 알칼리도가 충분한 조건에서는 아질산성질소 탈질 저해가 관찰되지 않았으며 실험온도가 $20^{\circ}C$인 경우에도 $30^{\circ}C$와 비교할 때 큰 저해 없이 탈질이 진행되었다. 하지만 초기 아질산성질소의 농도 300 mg/L 이상에서 lag phase가 늘어나 기질저해가 나타났다. 알칼리도가 충분하지 않은 조건에서 질산성질소의 탈질효율은 10%인 반면 아질산성질소의 탈질의 95% 이상이었다. 산소가 존재할 경우 산소를 이용하여 탈질이 이루어지지 않았음에도 불구하고 황산화 미생물이 산소를 이용하여 황산염의 농도가 증가하였다. 아질산성질소 탈질 시 알칼리도의 소모가 관찰되었으나 질산염 탈질시 보다 알칼리도의 소모가 적었으며 황산염 생성 또한 적었다. 황이용 아질산성 질소 탈질은 외부탄소원의 추가적인 주입 없이 저렴한 황입자를 이용하며 질산성질소 황산화 탈질의 단점인 알칼리도 파괴, 황산염이온 생성의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 효과적인 탈질 방법이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Climate change is the biggest concern of the $21^{st}$ century. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from various sectors are attracting attention as a cause of climate change. The DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model simulates GHG emissions from cropland. To study future GHG emissions using this simulation model, various factors that could change in future need to be considered. Because most problems are from the agricultural sector, DNDC would be unable to solve the factor-changing problem itself. Hence, it is necessary to link DNDC with separate models that simulate each element. Climate change is predicted to cause a variety of environmental disasters in the future, having a significant impact on the agricultural environment. In the process of human adaptation to environmental change, the distribution and management methods of farmland will also change greatly. In this study, we introduce some drawbacks of DNDC in considering future changes, and present other existing models that can rectify the same. We further propose some combinations with models and development sub-models.

The constructed closed recycling system discussed in this technical report will be economically viable in future for the production of fish and vegetable in earth, space station and space colony, further, it will contribute a lot in the prevention of pollution in the world's ecological system. To make combined system, water management (Nitrification) is required, and it took 45 days to breed microorganism which facilitates this process. After this period , the recycle was confirmed to be working .Using derived equations, the expected nutrient characteristics of waste water were determined and it was found that the resulting nutrient balance was almost same as that in hydroponic solution when KOH was added to maintain pH level. Reverse osmosis (RO) system could solve the problem of the low nutrient concentration . It was found that plants grow well in fish waste water which was produced using RO system. RO system could combine fish and plant production through the advantageous use of separated high concentration water for plant and permeated water for fish in integrated combined system.

The high concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater incorporated with the ability to use carbon dioxide as the carbon source make the microalgae become more attractive in wastewater treatment process. This study evaluates the optimal conditions for the digestion of settelable solids from the recirculating aquaculture system to produce the biomass of the green microalga Scenedesmus sp. After solids separation, aerobic digestion of settleable solids under disperse condition produced nitrate as the final product of consequently ammonification and nitrification processes. With the optimal digestion procedure, nitrate concentration during aerobic digestion in 2000 mL vessel increased from $9.63{\pm}0.65mg\;N/L$ to $58.66{\pm}0.06mg\;N/L$ in 10 days. Thereafter, cultivation of Scenedesmus sp. was performed in 1000 mL Duran bottle with air bubbling. The highest Scenedesmus sp. specific growth rate of $0.321{\pm}0.01/d$ was obtained in treatment using liquid fraction after aerobic digestion as the whole culture medium for Scenedesmus sp. cultivation. With this study, digestion of $8,800{\pm}128.12mg\;dry\;weight/L$ of settleable solids from fish pond finally produced $1,235{\pm}21mg\;dry\;weight/L$ of Scenedesmus sp. biomass.

Recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) consists of different treatment compartments that maintain water quality within the ranges commonly recommended for fish cultures. However, common RASs still exert considerable environmental impact since concentrations of organic matter and nutrients in their effluents are high. Compared with the traditional RAS, the model RAS developed here use a sedimentation basin for digestion purposes and then use the released volatile organic matter to stimulate a denitrification process. Different treatment compartments for solids, total ammonia nitrogen, and nitrate removal have been reviewed. This paper provides the basic information on designing different treatment compartments as well as the engineering criteria in closed seawater RAS, consisting of circular tanks for fish cultures; dual drain systems, sedimentation basins and foam fractionators for removal of solids; nitrification biofilters for TAN removal; denitrification biofilters for nitrate removal; and aerators for aeration. The main purpose is to outline a common procedure in designing of closed RAS for marine fish culture with an emphasis on easy management and low expense, as well as reduction of the environmental impact.

This study was carried out to investigate the variation of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus in $(AO)_2$ SBBR process according to the variation of operating cycle at the high TOC concentration. The operation time in anoxic (anaerobic) time to oxic time was 1:1. Three lab-scale SBBRS were fed with synthetic wastewater based on glucose as carbon source, The variation of total TOC removal was similar each other irrespective of operation time, however, the TOC concentrations in SBBRs showed a little difference according to the operating condition. In SBBR, complete nitrification was not occurred at all reactors, however, R3 showed a higher nitrification than R2. And in SBBR, the variation of operating time more affected at phosphorus removal than nitrogen removal. R2 which had the shortest time at the 1st aeration time showed the lowest phosphorus release and uptake efficacy.
