The feasibility of the up- and down-flow constructed wetland was examined fur rural wastewater treatment in Korea. Many constructed wetland process was suffered from substrate clogging and high plant stresses because of long term operation. The up- and down-flow constructed wetland process used porous granule materials (charcoal pumice : SSR=10:20:70) for promoting intake rate of nutrient to plant, and especially flow type was designed continuously repeating from up-flow to down-flow. $BOD_5$ and SS was removed effectively by the process with the average removal rate being about 75% respectively. The wetland process was effective in treating nutrient as well as organic pollutant. Removal of TN and TP were more effective than other wetland system and mean effluent concentrations were approximately 7.5 and $0.4mg\;L^{-1}$ which satisfied the water quality standard for WWTPs. The treatment system did not experience any clogging or accumulations of pollutants and reduction of treatment efficiency during winter period because constructed polycarbonate glass structure prevented temperature drop. Considering stable performance and effective removal of pollutant in wastewater, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, the up- and down-flow constructed wetland was thought to be an effective and feasible alternative in rural area.

The objectives of this paper were to estimate cell based pollutant loadings for total maximum daily load (TMDL) programs and to evaluate the applicability of the agricultural nonpoint source (AGNPS) model for an intensive agricultural watershed in Korea. The model was calibrated and validated at a watershed of 384.8 ha of drainage area using the observed data from 1996 through 2000 in terms of runoff, suspended solid, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus on a hourly basis. Analysis of spatial variations of pollutant loadings for rainfall frequencies of various intensities and durations were conducted. In addition, the validated model was applied to estimated the TMDL removal efficiency for best management practices (BMPs) scenarios which were selected by taking into account the pollutant characteristics of the study watershed. The model can help to understand the problems and to find solutions through landuse changes and BMPs. Thus, the method used for this study was able to identify TMDL quantitatively as well as qualitatively for various sources pollution that are spatially dispersed. Also it provides an assessment of the impact of BMPs on the water bodies studied, allowing the TMDL programs to be complemented more effectively.

The dye wastewater discharge from the textile industries mainly affects the aquatic environment. Hence, the treatment of this wastewater is essential for a pollutant-free environment. The purpose of this research is to optimize the dye removal efficiency for process influencing independent variables such as pH, electrolysis time (ET), and current density (CD) by using Box-Behnken design (BBD) optimization and Genetic Algorithm (GA) modelling. The electrocoagulation treatment technique was used to treat the synthetically prepared Reactive Black dye solution under batch mode potentiometric operations. The percentage of error for the BBD optimization was significantly greater than for the GA modelling results. The optimum factors determined by GA modelling were CD-59.11 mA/cm², ET-24.17 minutes, and pH-8.4. At this moment, the experimental and predicted dye removal efficiencies were found to be 96.25% and 98.26%, respectively. The most and least predominant factors found by the beta coefficient were ET and pH respectively. The outcome of this research shows GA modeling is a better tool for predicting dye removal efficiencies as well as process influencing factors.

본 연구의 목적은 농업용 저수지 유입부에 설치된 3가지 유형(준설형, 차수막형, 보조댐형)의 침강지에 대한 수질정화효율 평가와 수질정화효율 면에서 유리한 침강지의 유형과 적정규모를 살펴보는데 있다. 이를 위해서 주요 수질 항목에 대한 정화효율과 침강지 설치전후의 퇴적물의 이화학적특성을 조사하였다. 수질정화효율은 침강지 유형, 수질항목 및 조사시기에 따라 $-87\%$에서 $92\%$사이의 넓은 변동을 보였다. 농도회귀법(ROC)으로 평가한 설계정화효율은 준설형이 $18\%$, 차수막형이 $29\%$, 보조댐형이 $42\%$로 나타났다. 보조댐형에서는 퇴적물의 이화학적특성 변화가 있었으나, 다른 두 유형에서는 미미하였다. 정화효율, 배수면적 대 유역면적비(SAR), 체류시간 측면에서 비교한 결과, 보조댐형 침강지가 가장 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 침강지는 저수지 수체와 완전히 분리되는 구조이면서 SAR가 $0.7{\sim}1.0\%$ 정도인 규모가 적절하다.

강우 시 도로에서의 초기 유출수는 유 무기물질, 중금속 등 유해물질이 부유물질에 흡착되어 거동되는 비율이 높으므로 부유물질을 분리할 수 있다면 상당량의 오염부하를 줄일 수가 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 도로에서 배출되는 강우유출수의 오염저감을 위해 필터를 이용한 수리동력학적 필터분리기를 이용하여 부유물질을 처리함에 있어 필터별 오염물질 처리효율을 비교 평가함으로서 도로유출수에 대한 오염물질 저감을 위한 현장에의 적용 방안을 모색함에 있다. 사용한 여재는 perlite, 활성탄, zeolite와 이들의 혼합소재를 대상으로 하여 칼럼여과실험과 필터분리기를 이용한 현장에서의 처리실험을 통해 여재별 처리정도 및 처리효율을 비교하였다. 칼럼여과실험결과 대체로 SS는 활성탄과 perlite, 활성탄, 소성한 zeolite의 혼합여재가, 중금속은 zeolite 및 활성탄이 양호하였다. HDFS에 의한 처리실험은 perlite와 활성탄 혼합여재가 도로유출수 처리에 적합할 것으로 조사되었다. 혼합여재에 대한 평균 처리 효율은 여재층이 9 cm, 수면적부하율 192-1,469 $m^3/m^2/d$의 범위에서 SS 48.1%, BOD 31.9%, COD 32.6%, TN 15.5%, TP 17.3%의 제거율을 나타내었고, 중금속인 경우 Fe 26.0%, Cu 19.4%, Cr 25.7, Zn 16.6%, Pb 15.0%로 조사되었다. 도로유출수의 처리를 위한 HDFS의 여재로서는 perlite와 활성탄을 혼합한 여재가 적절하였다.

Non-point pollution is caused by many diffusive sources, unlike a point pollution derived from industrial wastewater treatment plants or sewage treatment plants. Runoff of non-point pollutants is originated from rainfall or thawing in short period of time moving over and through the a ground surface. They cause ill effect on the quality of neighboring aquatic environment. To prevent effectively the wash off from non-point pollutant, it should be immediately reduced at the source or be treated after gathering of runoff water. This study has been carried out for the best width of riparian buffer zone. So we implemented the experiment in terms of its depth, width and kind of vegetations and calculated the reduction of pollutants loading. The experimental zone encompasses the watershed of Namhan River (Kyunggido Yangpyunggun Byungsanri). The region was divided into 5 land cover sectors : grass, reed, pussy willow, mixed(grass+pussy willow) and natural zone to compare effectiveness of vegetation. Water samples from four points have been collected in different depths. And the pollutant removal efficiency by sectors with different plant species was yielded through influent with one of each sample. And we obtained the correlation between the width of riparian buffer zone and the removal efficiency of pollutants. Using correlation result, the width of riparian buffer zones which needs to improve the water quality of river could be derived.

During the disinfection of potable water, humic substances present in the solution react with chlorine to form potential carcinogenic compounds. This study evaluates the feasibility of using a submerged membrane photocatalysis reactor (SMPR) process for treatment of humic substances through the characterization of both organic removal efficiency and membrane hydraulic performance. A simple SMPR was operated and led to the removal of up to 83% of the polluting humic matters. Temporal rates of organic removal and membrane fouling were found to decrease with filtration time. Using tighter membrane in the hybrid process resulted in not only higher organic removal, but also more significant membrane fouling. Under the experimental conditions tested, optimum $TiO_2$ concentration for humic removal was found to be 0.6 g/L, and increasing initial pollutant concentration expectedly resulted in a more substantial membrane fouling. The importance of the influent nature and pollutant characteristics in this type of treatment was also assessed as various water sources were tested (model humic acid solution vs. local water containing natural organic matters). Results from this study revealed the promising nature of the SMPR process as an alternative technique for organic removal in the existing water treatment system.

국내의 상수원으로 사용하는 수질보호구역은 주로 농촌지역인 경우가 많다. 농촌지역의 경우 인구수 및 인구밀도가 높지 않아 하수도 시스템 보급이 열악하여 상수원 관리를 위해서는 농촌지역의 하수처리에 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 농촌지역에 위치한 마을하수도 4개소와 하수처리장의 운전결과를 분석하였다. 마을하수도보다 하수처리장에서 고농도의 오염물질이 유입되었으며, 방류수 수질 기준은 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 마을하수도의 방류수의 오염물질 농도가 하수처리장보다 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 처리 효율에서는 median 값으로 유기물(BOD, COD)의 경우 약 5%정도, 영양염류(T-N, T-P)의 경우 최대 30%정도 높게 검출되었다. 또한 오염물질 처리효율에 MLSS, DO 및 체류시간과 같은 생물반응조 운전 인자가 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과 운전 조건에 따라 오염물질 처리효율이 변하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 농촌지역에서 하수 관리를 위해서는 생물 반응조 운전 조건 등의 유지관리에 주의를 기울여야 한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the particle removal characteristics of a commercial air cleaner based on the electrostatic precipitator. The air cleaner consists of a positive corona precharger to precharge particles and a collector to remove the charged particles. The test for particle removal efficiency is conducted with tobacco smoke particles of 1.27${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in mass median diameter. The result of one-pass filtration test shows that the filtration efficiency is more than 90% for the particles larger than 2.5 Um, while the efficiency for the particles of 0.5～1.0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in case of 4.18 CMM is 70%. For the test room of 5,800${\times}$3,400${\times}$2,600㎣, the concentration of tobacco smoke particles decreases up to 30% of initial values within 30 minutes due to natural reduction and up to 90% of initial values within 30 minutes with the air cleaner operation.
