In this work, the effects of space charge was analyzed in removal efficiency of pollutant using dielectric barrier discharges. In order to investigate effects of space charge, two dielectrics(XLPE and TR-XLPE) was chosen which are different in space charge distribution. The simultaneously measurement of space charge and discharge current was carried out in XLPE and TR-XLPE with air gap by Pulsed-Electro-Acoustic Method in ac. Also, the removal efficiency is measured by classical ozone generator(von Siemens 1875). From the experimental results, we knew that the space charge distribution affects the discharge patterns. The more space charge is in surface, the quickly discharge initiates and the magnitude of discharge is increased when polarity changes. And these affect the removal efficiency of pollutant.

This study attempted to develop and suggest a more appropriate method for the determination of event mean concentration (EMC) and pollutant removal efficiency of a stormwater best management practice (BMP) considering rainfall. The stormwater runoff and hydrologic data gathered from 22 storm events during a 28-month monitoring period on a swirl and filtration type of BMP were used to evaluate the developed methods. Based on the findings, the modified EMC method resulted in lower (average) values than the overall EMC, although the differences were not significant (P>0.05). By comparison, the developed 'Rainfall Occurrence Ratio' (ROR) method was most significantly correlated (r=0.967 to 988, P<0.009) with the other existing removal efficiency determination methods such as the 'Efficiency Ratio' (ER), 'Summation of Loads' (SOL) and 'Regression of Loads' (ROL) methods. In addition, the ROR method gave the highest efficiency values, with no significant differences with any of the pollutant parameters, unlike the other three methods. These results were obtained because the ROR method integrated both pollutant loading and rainfall, which are not considered by the other three methods. Therefore, this study proved the suitability of the modified EMC and ROR methods for application in other BMP monitoring studies.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) involved conservation or rehabilitation of natural ecosystems or the creation of natural processes in modified or artificial ecosystems to mimic natural processes for the improved management of water (UN-Water, 2018). This study investigated the relationship between microbial presence and survival to the pollutant treatment performance of seven different stormwater NBS managing urban stormwater runoff. In this study, seven different stormwater nature-based solution (NBS) was investigated to identify the relationship of microbial community to the pollutant removal performance of stormwater NBS. Based on this study, Proteobacteria was found to be the most dominant microorganism for all stormwater NBS and IS followed by Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria. Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadetes, WS3, and AF234118_p were found to have high positive correlation to most pollutant removal efficiency of different stormwater NBS (r-value: 0.62 to 0.68). Using Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria count in stormwater NBS, equations predicting pollutant removal performance were also developed and may be used in minimizing the cost for stormevent monitoring to identify the pollutant removal performance of stormwater NBS.

This study was carried out to evaluate of water purification in oxidation pond with filamentous algae mat. It is the water treatment process in the small rural streams to remove the organic materials and nutrients. We used the filamentous algae mat(FAM) which selectively predominate the filamentous algae to prevent the additional contamination by algae outflow. The removal efficiencies of COD, SS, T-N and T-P in Oxidation Pond with Filamentous Algae Mat were -2.5%, 84.7%, 63.9% and 89.2%, respectively. The removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P which are nutrients index were high. Results of this study would help us to determine the possibility of using the water treatment on the contaminated small rural streams.

대청호는 유역에 있는 비점오염원으로부터 유입되는 오염물질로 인해 남조류 과다증식에 기인한 녹조가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이에 녹조 관리 대책 중 하나로 인공습지를 설치하여 호소에 유입되는 오염물질을 저감하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비점오염원의 관리방법으로 인공습지의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 대청호 상류에 설치된 서화천 생태습지를 대상으로 2014년부터 2020년까지 유입수 및 유출수의 BOD, COD, SS, T-N, T-P 등 오염물질 농도를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 대체적으로 인공습지에서의 처리를 통해 오염물질의 농도가 감소하는 것이 확인되었으며, 특히, 유기물질보다 질소, 인과 같은 영양염류에 있어 높은 처리효율이 확인되었다. 유입수의 오염물질 농도에 따른 처리효율을 구간을 나누어 분석한 결과 대체적으로 고농도에서 처리효율이 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 설치 및 운영 경과에 따른 연도별 인공습지 처리효율을 분석한 결과, T-P에서 큰 변화가 확인되었다. 이는 인공습지 조성 초기에는 식생의 성장에 따라 높은 처리효율을 보였지만, 식생이 안정화되고 습지 퇴적층이 포화됨에 따라 처리효율이 점진적으로 감소한 결과로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 초기 강우 등 높은 농도의 오염물질 유입 및 주기적인 퇴적토 준설 등의 관리가 이루어진다면 인공습지가 유역면적이 넓고, 비점오염원의 영향을 크게 받는 댐 저수지의 부영양화 억제에 유용한 수단이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Cu(II) can cause health problem for human being and phosphate is a key pollutant induces eutrophication in rivers and ponds. To remove of Cu(II) and phosphate from solution, chitosan as adsorbent was chosen and used as a form of hydrogel bead. Due to the chemical instability of hydrogel chitosan bead (HCB), the crosslinked HCB by glutaraldehyde (GA) was prepared (HCB-G). HCB-G maintained the spherical bead type at 1% HCl without a loss of chitosan. A variety of batch experiment tests were carried out to determine the removal efficiency (%), maximum uptake (Q, mg/g), and reaction rate. In the single presence of Cu(II) or phosphate, the removal efficiency was obtained to 17 and 16%, respectively. However, the removal efficiency of Cu(II) and phosphate was increased to 50~55% at a mixed solution. The maximum uptake (Q) for Cu(II) and phosphate was enhanced from 11.3 to74.4 mg/g and from 3.34 to 36.6 mg/g, respectively. While the reaction rate of Cu(II) and phosphate was almost finished within 24 and 6 h at single solution, it was not changed for Cu(II) but was retarded for phosphate at mixed solution.

Indoor air quality models are useful to predict indoor air pollutant concentrations as a function of several indoor factors. Indoor air quality model was developed to evaluate the pollutant removal efficiency of variable-air-volume/bypass filtration system (VAV/BPFS) compared with the conventional variable-air-volume (VAV) system. This model provides relative pollutant removal effectiveness of VAV/BPFS by concentration ratio between the conventional VAV system and VAV/BPFS. The predictions agree closely, from 5 to 10 percent, with the measured values for each energy load. As a results, we recommend the VAV/BPFS is a promising alternative to conventional VAV system because it is capable of reducing indoor air pollutant concentration and maintaining good indoor air quality.

본 연구에서는 국내 최대 인공습지인 시화호 인공습지에서 수질정화기능 향상을 위해 수립된 3개의 방안 (물 흐름 개선방안, 혐기성환경 개선을 위한 산소공급장치 설치방안, 탁도유발 물고기 제어방안)에 대한 효율평가 및 습지의 적용성을 제시하였다. 인공습지 하류구역(가로 122m${\times}$세로 103m)에 설치한 물 흐름 유도시설에 의한 BOD, SS, TN, TP의 평균 제거효율은 12.8~7.4%로 나타났으며, BOD가 가장 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 이는 습지내 물흐름이 수질정화기능 향상에 매우 중요하며, 시화호 인공습지와 같이 규모가 큰 습지의 경우 유출부의 일부 구간에 물 흐름 개선만으로도 습지의 수질정화기능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사한다. 산소공급장치 가동 후 DO농도 증가율이 산기식폭기장치에서 15.5%과 표면폭기장치에서 37.2%를 보였고, 습지내 DO 농도가 낮은 구역에 한하여 새벽시간에 운영하는 것이 효율적인 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 물고기를 포획을 한 실험군과 대조군의 평균 탁도가 6.2 NTU와 10.6 NTU로 물고기 포획에 의해 41.5%의 탁도 제거효율을 보였다. 습지내 어류현황과 하류부의 탁도에 대한 지속적인 모니터링을 통한 체계적인 어류관리 방안이 필요할 것으로 본다.

In this study, an experiment was conducted on influent water with low concentrations of organic matter, such as river water or secondary treatment water of a sewage treatment plant, according to HRT changes by using aerobic biofilm. In the biofilm process, as the biofilm increases in thickness, the inner membrane can be low in oxygen transfer rate and become anaerobic conditions, while the detachment of biomass from biofilm occurs. To overcome these limitations in the detachment of microorganisms in biofilm, the yarn, which was made from poly propylene(PP), was weaved and manufactured into a tube. Then, a test was carried out by injecting air so that the interior of the biofilm could create aerobic conditions. The results of the experiment showed that the removal efficiency of $TCOD_{cr}$ reached 66.1~81.2% by HRT 2hr, and 50.9 ~61.8% after HRT 1 hr. The removal efficiency of $SCOD_{cr}$ was 45.9 to 55.1% by HRT 1hr, and 26.1% in HRT 0.5hr, showing the highest removal efficiency in HRT 1hr. The SS removal efficiency was at 81.8 to 94.6%, and the effluent SS concentration was very low, indicating less than 2.2 mg/L in all HRT's. As a result, the $SCOD_{cr}$ and $NH_4{^+}$-N that were removed per specific surface area and attached to microbial biofilm showed the highest efficiency in HRT 1hr with 8.37 $gSCOD_{cr}/m^2{\cdot}d$, 2.93 $gNH_4{^+}-N/m^2{\cdot}d$. From the result of reviewing the characteristics of biofilm growth, microorganisms were found to be attached, and increased by 36 days. Later, they decreased in number through detachment, but showed a tendency to increase again 41 days later due to microbial reproduction.

On the assessment results of the non-point source pollutant removability of bio-block using waste sewage sludge, at the reactor's initial operation stage, the removal efficiency of COD was slightly unstable. However, after the reactor was stabilized, the COD removal efficiency was higher in the reactor filled with bio-blocks compared to the reactor filled with broken stones. In terms of nitrogen and phosphorus, their removal efficiency was unstable at the initial stage of the reactor operation. This phenomenon was investigated through the bio-block elution experiments. Results indicated that nitrogen and phosphorus were eluted from the bio-blocks affecting their removal at the initial operation. Furthermore, based on elution tests conducted after the dry ashing of the waste sewage sludge, part of the nitrogen and phosphorus was eluted similar to the bio-block elution test results, although considerable amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus were reduced compared to the sludge cake. Prior to the use of the waste sewage sludge bio-blocks as a filter medium to remove non-point source pollutants, a stabilization period of 10 days was required. After the stabilization process, results showed similar characteristics as general aggregates. Moreover, to use the bio-block as a filter medium for the non-point pollutant removal, the filling ratio of 75% was the most suitable as it resulted in the highest nitrogen removal efficiency after the stabilization. The results of this study suggested that waste sewage sludge can be suitably recycled as a mixed raw material for the bio-blocks, with satisfactory application as a filter medium in artificial wetlands, stormwater runoff problems, stream water pollutants to eliminate non-point source pollutants.
