본 연구에서는 EBPR(enhanced biological phosphorus removal)공정에서 인 방출에 대한 유기물 및 질산염의 영향을 혐기성 조건에서 회분식 실험으로 관찰하였다. 본 실험에서 사용한 슬러지는 축산폐수를 처리하기 위한 SBR(sequencing batch reactor) 공정의 호기성 상태에서 채취하였다. 유기물인 FSW(fermented swine wastewater), acetate, propionate, 도시하수 및 methanol의 인 방출 속도는 각각 6.19, 5.99, 1.52, 1.2 및 $1.03mgP/gVSS{\cdot}hr$이었다. Acetate 및 FSW의 인 방출 속도는 propionate, methanol 및 도시하수보다 4~5배 더 크게 관찰되었다. 따라서 혐기성 조건에서 인 방출 속도는 주입되는 유기물의 종류에 많은 영향을 받는다. 혐기성 조건에서 인 방출은 질산염의 농도에 의해 커다란 영향을 받았다. Acetate, propionate 및 FSW와 비교하여, 유기물로서 주입된 methanol 및 도시 하수인 경우 인 방출은 질산염이 거의 완전히 제거된 후 관찰되었다. Acetate, propionate 및 FSW가 주입 된 경우의 인 방출 속도는 methanol 및 도시하수가 주입되었을 때보다 질산염의 영향을 더 적게 받았다.

A chemical batch tests were conducted to evaluate if microwave heating enhances phosphorous release from waste activated sludge (WAS) at pH 2.5, 5, 7, 9 and 11. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms have a unique physiological feature, which releases intracellular polyphosphate granules when they are exposed under high temperature environments. Microwave irradiation was found to encourage large amount of phosphorus release from WAS, depending on pH and temperature conditions. Most of phosphorus was released below $59^{\circ}C$ within 30 min. A marked increase in phosphorus release was observed under alkaline or acidic conditions. However, based on control tests for phosphorus release under different pH conditions without microwave heating, the largest amount of phosphorus released by microwave irradiation was found at pH 7, followed by 5, 9, 11. On the other hand, crystallization was conducted to obtain magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) from phosphate released by microwave heating at pH 7. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the recovered crystalline materials were MAP. MAP is an environmentally friendly fertilizer, which slowly releases ammonia and phosphorus in response to the demand of plant root. Thus, the recovered MAP as a phosphate fertilizer is fully expected to play a important role in the reduction of agricultural non-point pollution.

유속이 약한 하천이나 호소에 침강된 유기물, 영양염류, 유해화학물질 등의 오염물질은 일단 수중으로부터 제거되어 퇴적물 속에 축적되었다가 확산, 재 부유, 생물교란 등의 물리 화학 생물학적 과정에 의해 다시 수층으로 용출되어 수질 및 수생생태에 직 간접적인 악영향을 미칠 수 있게 된다. 특히 인은 수중생태계의 일차 생산량을 결정하는 중요한 물질중의 하나로 수체 내 물질순환 과정에서 주로 퇴적물에 저장되는 원소로 물리적인 교란 및 생 화학적 작용에 의해 수층으로용출되어 부영양화현상을 가속시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 수층 미생물의 영향을 고려한 경우(호소수)와 미생물의 영향을 배제한(증류수)경우로 구분하여 각각 다른 capping 소재를 적용하여 퇴적물에서의 인 용출 저감 효과를 분석하였다. 실험 결과 화학적소재인 Fe-Gypsum, $SiO_2$-Gypsum로 capping을 할 경우, control보다 인 용출을 약 40% 이상 저감시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 복합소재인 granule gypsum+Sand는 약 50% 이상 용출을 저감 효과가 나타났다. 따라서 화학적 소재인 granule-gypsum과 그 위에 모래와 같은 친환경소재로 capping을 한다면 인 용출 저감에 효과적일 것으로 판단된다. Capping 처리 전후의 퇴적층내의 인 성상변화를 살펴본 결과, gypsum 투입에 의하여 호소 퇴적층에 존재하는 인이 용출되기 어려운 안정한 형태인 apatite-P 변화된 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 capping 기술의 적용을 통하여 하천 및 호소 퇴적물에서 발생되는 인 용출에 대한 저감 효율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 남해 연안에서 채취한 퇴적물을 대상으로 수질의 환경변화에 의해 퇴적물이 용출 특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 실험실에서 20일 동안 용출 배양실험을 진행하였으며, 퇴적물 인의 존재형태와 수질의 환경 인자, 총 인의 용출률을 측정하였다. 관찰 결과, 수층에서 미생물의 성장에 의해 용존 산소가 감소하여, 퇴적물의 산화환원전위가 낮아지는 혐기성환경이 진행되었다. 그에 따라 배양 초기일과 20일 후를 비교하면, 퇴적물 인의 존재 형태 중철 산화물과 결합한 인산염의 감소하는 변동성이 높게 나타났다. 이는 철 산화물이 환원될 경우 금속 이온과 분리된 무기인이 수중으로 이동하는 것을 의미하는데, 분리된 무기인은 플랑크톤에 의해 잘 흡수되는 특성을 가진다. 수층의 총 인을 분석한 결과 20일 차 0.304mg/L까지 지속적으로 증가하였으며, 산정된 용출률의 경우 배양 5일 이후 용존 산소의 감소와 높은 관계성을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과로부터, 수층의 부영양화를 관리하기 위한 요소로서 수질의 용존 산소와 퇴적물 인의 존재형태 중 철 산화물의 중요성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Phosphorus is a vital resource for sustaining agriculture and nutrition, but a limited non-renewable resource. Thus, the recovery of phosphorus from waste activated sludge(WAS) was attempted by microwave heating and magnesium ammonium phosphorus(MAP) crystallization. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms(PAOs) in WAS release phosphate from the cell when they are exposed to high temperature environments. Microwave heating caused phosphorus and ammonia to release from WAS. The amount was increased with increasing temperature, showing that 88.5% of polyphosphate present in the cells were released in the form of phosphate at $80^{\circ}C$. A similar result was also observed in the release of ammonia. On the other hand, both phosphorus and ammonia were crystallized with magnesium, and then was harvested as MAP. Phosphorus recovery rate reached almost 97.8%, but the ammonia was about 13.4%. These results cleary indicate that phosphorus could be recovered from WAS using a physiological trait of PAOs. Heavy metal analyses also show that the MAP crystal is useful and safe as a phosphorus fertilizer.

While the enhanced biological phosphorus removal(EBPR), in anaerobic/aerobic condition, was known to remove phosphorus by means of metabolism of poly-P microorganisms, the phosphorus removed could be released in the form of ortho-P in the aerobic fixed biofilm reactor. This study was initiated to investigate the cause of ortho-P release in the aerobic fixed biofilm reactor. The resutls indicated that the phosphorus release was caused by autooxidation. The synthesis and release of phosphrous were related to the ORP and the boundary value for the phase change was about 170mV. In the synthesis phase, the phosphorus removal rate per COD removed was $0.023mgP_{syn}/mgCOD_{rem}$. The phosprous contents of the microorganism were 4.3 ~ 6.0% on a dry weight basis.

Weirs are conventional structures that control water level and velocity in streams to facilitate water resource management. Despite many weirs built in streams, there is little information how weirs change hydrology regime and how that translates to sediment and phosphorus (P) responses. This study evaluated the influence of weirs on P retention and mobilization in an urban tributary of the Han River in Korea. Total P concentrations in sediments upstream of weirs were higher than the downstream site, mainly due to the increase of potentially available fractions (labile P and aluminum- and iron-bound P) (p < 0.05). Equilibrium phosphorus concentrations ($EPC_o$) were lower than soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations of stream waters, but there was an increasing trend of sediment $EPC_o$ upstream of weirs compared to the downstream site (p < 0.001) indicating a greater potential for P release upstream of weirs. Sediment core incubation showed that SRP release rates upstream of weirs were higher than the downstream site under anoxic conditions of the water column (p < 0.01), but not under oxic conditions. SRP release rates under anoxic conditions were greater than that measured under oxic conditions. Un-neutral pH and increased temperature could also enhance SRP release rates upstream of weirs. We conclude that weirs can increase P retention within stream sediments and potentially promote significant P releases into waters, which in turn cause eutrophication.

The purpose of this study is to derive the correlation between the Specific Phosphorus Release Rate (SPRR), Specific Phosphorus Uptake Rate (SPUR) and Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR) at various Sludge Retention Time (SRT) condition in the A/O process. The laboratory scale reactor was operated on various SRT (10 day, 20 day, 30 day, 40 day). In this study, the SPRR, SPUR and SOUR tended to decrease with the SRT increase. Empirical equations was be obtained $y=4.54E-006x^2+0.0007x-0.0315$, $R^2=0.925$ (SOUR vs. SPRR) and $y=3.22E-006x^2+0.0004x-0.0173$, $R^2=0.928$ (SOUR vs. SPUR) from the relationship between SRT, SPRR and SPUR and SOUR. Therefore, the anaerobic tank design based on the research result such as SPRR, SPUR of a phosphorus design and SOUR would be possible.

In this study, nutrients treatment by sequencing batch reactors(SBR) was performed. Nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies were evaluated by changing SRT and mixing/aeration ratio. Not only nitrogen but also phosphorus removal patterns were investigated through track studies on 1 cycle. As SRT was fixed and mixing/aeration ratio was changed, maximum nitrogen removal efficiency was 87.6% at mixing/aeration ratio 0.67. Phosphorus removal efficiencies were more than 85.5% except no mixing condition. As mixing/aeration ratio was fixed and SRT was changed, nitrogen removal efficiencies were 70.5~79.8%, which represented slight changes, while phosphorus removal efficiencies were 49.0~97.3%, which represented sharply decreasing tendency at less than 20 day. Both phosphorus release rate k and maximum phosphorus release rate $P_{max}/M$ were are decreased as SRT was decreased, but they were not affected by mixing/aeration ratio. It was found that there is a linear relationship between ortho-phosphate uptake and maximum ortho-phosphate release.

Biological phosphorus removal is characterized by complex interactions between different intracellular components of energy as PHA. Therefore, fundamental understanding of the behavior of the intracellular components and their influence on the removal of phosphorus is essential before control strategies to stabilize the proper process. The purpose of this study is to investigate relationship between release of phosphorus and synthesis of intracellular storage polymer. Mass of stored intracellular storage polymer was 21.2 mg PHA/L, 28.8 mg PHA/g MLSS. And phosphorus release/intracellular storage polymer synthesis rate was 1.8545 mg stored polymer/mg Phosphate. In the aerobic phase, mass of PAOs synthesis is 49.37 mg PAOs/L. And PAOs fraction was 6.7-6.9%. Thus intracellular storage polymer synthesis by PAOs is calculated as 493mg PHA/g PAOs.
