하수처리 공정모델링 소프트웨어인 EQPS(Effluent Quality Prediction System, Dynamita, France)를 적용하여 A하수처리시설 생물반응조 설계의 적합성을 분석하였다. A하수처리장은 친수용수 수준의 목표수질을 준수하기 위하여 이차침전지 유출수 설계농도를 총질소와 총인, 각 10 mg/L, 1.8 mg/L로 설정하여 설계하였다. 4-Stage BNR 공정인 반응조의 체류시간은 총 9.6시간으로 전무산소조 0.5, 혐기조 1.0, 무산소조 2.9, 호기조 5.2시간이었다. 동절기 공정모델링 결과 친수용수 수준의 목표수질을 만족하기 위하여 혐기조의 체류시간을 0.2시간 늘렸고 당초 설계조건이던 외부탄소원 비상시 주입을 상시적으로 주입해야 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 모델링 결과의 왜곡을 배제하기 위하여 소프트웨어 제조사가 제시한 one step nitrification denitrification 모델의 Default 계수를 사용하였다. 공정모델링은 대체적으로 최적의 상태를 제시하기 때문에 생물반응조 여유율을 고려하면 4-Stage BNR의 체류시간은 9.8시간보다 증가시켜야 한다. 하수처리장 설계단계에서 공정 모델링의 정확한 사용은 하수처리장 건설 후 처리성능과 효율의 안정성을 담보할 수 있는 방법이므로 설계단계에서 철저한 평가가 필요하다.

다단수직형 적층 방식의 질산화조가 포함된 2㎥/d 병합폐수처리 파일럿플랜트를 설치하여, pH8 이상, DO 1mg/L, 내부반송율 4Q이상의 단축질소제거공정의 질산화조 운전 조건으로 약 1년 이상 운영하였다. 음폐수와 침출수의 경제적인 병합 처리를 위하여, 유분이 최소화된 음폐수를 전체 처리량의 5~25%로 조절하여 최적의 병합 비율을 검토하였다. 음폐수의 고형물과 유분을 효과적으로 분리하기 위하여 도입된 3상원심분리기의 주요 처리 효율은 SS는 116,000mg/L에서 55,700mg/L로 약 52% 제거 되었으며, 노르말헥산(N-H)의 농도는 53,200mg/L에서 27,800mg/L로 약 48%로 제거되었다. 운전 기간 중 병합 폐수처리 공정의 BOD 평균 제거 효율은 99.3%, CODcr 94.2%, CODmn 90%, SS 70.1%, T-N 85.8%, T-P 99.2%로 분석되었다. 처리수의 BOD, CODcr, T-N, T-P 평균 농도는 침출수 배출허용 기준("나"지역)을 만족하였으며, SS는 멤브레인조를 적용한 후 만족하였다. 현장의 침출수는 유량조정조의 간헐적 폭기 및 월별 상이한 방출량의 영향으로 병합폐수 중 아질산성 질소의 성분이 비교적 높았다. 아질산성질소가 축적된 상태에서도 완전질산화 후 탈질보다는, 아질산성 질소에서 탈질되는 결과가 나타났다. 또한 운전기간 중 평균 소포제 투입량은 약 2L/d으로 같은 폐수를 처리할 시 필요한 메탄올 투입량 약 2.8L/d 대비하여 경제적인 것으로 보인다.

This study was conducted to determine the toxic effect of TNT and RDX on indigenous soil microbes by measuring enzymatic activity. Denitrification activity, dehydrogenase activity, phosphatase activity, and fluorescein diacetate hydrolytic activity were determined for military firing range, field, and paddy soils exposed to TNT, and RDX from 0 to 1,000 mg/kg and 0 to 4,000 mg/kg, respectively, for 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Soil microbial enzymatic activities decreased with higher TNT and RDX concentration and longer exposure time. Microbial enzymatic activities of firing range soil were higher than field and paddy soils, indicating that indigenous microbes in firing range might have been adapted to TNT and RDX due to pre-exposure of the explosives. In addition, the toxicity of TNT and RDX decreased with higher organic matter because TNT and RDX tend to absorb to soil organic matter. No Observable Effect Concentration (NOEC) values of each microbial enzymatic activity were derived by the geometric mean of NOECs from exposure times (2, 4, and 8 weeks) and soil types (firing range, field, paddy soil). The derived NOECs ranged from 45.3 to 55.2 mg/kg for TNT and 286 to 309 mg/kg for RDX.

The phased isolation intra-clarifier ditch system used in this study is a simplified novel process enhancing simultaneous removal of biological nitrogen and phosphorus in municipal wastewater in terms of elimination of additional pre-anaerobic reactor, external clarifier, recycle of sludge, and nitrified effluent recirculation by employing intrachannel clarifier. Laboratory-scale phased isolation ditch system was used to assess the treatability on municipal wastewater. When the system was operated at the HRTs of 6~12hours, SRTs of 9~31days, and cycle times of 2~8hours, the system showed removals of BOD, TN, and TP as high as 88~97%, 70~84%, and 65~90%, respectively. The rainfall in Korea is generally concentrated in summer because of site-specific characteristics. Especially, the wet season has set in on June to August. In combined sewers, seasonal variations are primarily a function of the amount of stormwater that enters the system. In order to investigate the effect of hydraulic shock loading on system performance, the laboratory-scale system was operated at an HRT of 6hours (two times of influent flowrate) during two cycles (8hours). The system performance slightly decreased by increasing of influent flowrate and decreasing of system HRT. Nitrification efficiency and TN removal were slightly decreased by increasing of influent flowrate (decreasing of system HRT), whereas, the denitrification was not affected by hydraulic shock loading. However, the higher system performance could be achieved again after four cycles. Thus, the phased isolation technology for enhanced biological nutrient removal in medium- and small-scale wastewater treatment plants suffering fluctuation of influent quality and flowrate.

The upflow Biobead$^{(R)}$ process, one of biological aerated filters (BAF), which was used commercially, invented for removal of organic materials and nitrification. This process was modified to enhance the ability of denitrification through the induction of pre-anoxic tank. In this research, we investigated the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and backwashing period in aerobic tank. The characteristics of nitrifying bacteria, which are composed of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), also investigated using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Even though the HRT was shortened, the efficiency of nitrification was not decreased when the organic loading rate and ammonium-nitrogen loading rate were $2.10kg/m^3/day$ and $0.25kg/m^3/day$, respectively. And then the distribution ratios of AOB and NOB showed the similar patterns. However, when the backwashing period was lengthened from 12 hours to 24 hours in aerobic 1 tank, the nitrification efficiency was decreased to 63.9% from 89.2%. The results of FISH explained that this decrease of nitrification efficiency was caused by the decrease of distribution ratio of AOB in aerobic 1 tank. The nitrification efficiencies of aerobic 1 and aerobic 2 tank were increased when the backwashing period was lengthened because of relative high distribution ratios of nitrifying bacteria.

오존을 이용한 잉여슬러지 감량화 시스템이 결합된 생물학적 처리 공정에서 잉여슬러지의 무배출에 따른 생물반응조내의 영향 및 처리수질을 검토하였다. 잉여슬러지 인발량 배수($SDN_{min}$)가 3인 조건에서 잉여슬러지의 pH를 4 이하로 전 처리한 후 오존주입율 0.03 g $O_3/g$ SS로 처리한 결과 잉여슬러지의 인발 없이 안정적인 생물학적 처리가 가능하였다. $OUR_{max}$ 실험 결과, 오존주입율 0.03 g $O_3/g$ SS의 조건에서 대부분의 슬러지는 미생물 활성이 없어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 잉여슬러지의 가용화에 따른 생물반응조내에서의 MLVSS/MLSS의 변화는 거의 없었고, 반응조내 미생물의 인 축적 현상도 관측되지 않았다. 잉여슬러지 가용화 후 생물학적 처리수의 유기물 및 SS의 농도 증가 현상은 관측되지 않았고, 생물반응조내의 질산화 및 탈질율 증가로 유출수중의 T-N 농도가 감소하는 효과를 나타내었다. T-P의 경우에는 잉여슬러지의 무배출로 인해 대부분이 제거되지 않고 유출수중에 함유되어 유출되는 것으로 조사되었다.

An experiment was conducted to obtain the quantitative data on the transformation and loss of applied urea-N in waterlogged soil columns. The soil columns were pre-incubated for 35 days to develop oxidized and reduced soil conditions prior to urea application. After urea application at the rate of $150kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$(29.5 mg N), the amounts of nitrogen which were volatilized, leached, and remained in soil column were measured during 38 days of incubation period. On 2 and 4 days of incubation, 54.1%(15.9 mg N) and 98.4%(29.0mg N) of the applied urea was hydrolyzed, respectively. Most of the applied urea was completely hydrolyzed within 6 days. After urea application, the rates of ammonia volatilization were increased with the floodwater pH when the floodwater pH were higher than 7.0. The maximum rate of ammonia volatilization was $0.3mg\;d^{-1}$ when pH of the floodwater showed maximum value of 7.6. The total amount of volatilized nitrogen was 6.1% (1.8mg N) of the applied urea-N. A 63.2 % (18.6mg N) of the applied urea was remained in soil as $NH_4{^+}-N$ and 28.0% (8.2mg N) of the applied urea was leached as $NH_4{^+}-N$ at the end of the incubation. Amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ in soil was smaller than 2.0 mg throughout the incubation period. The total amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ leached was very small, which value was 1.8 mg. It suggested that nitrification process was not significant in waterlogged soil column of this study due to high infiltration rate of urea solution applied to the soil column. Therefore only small amount of $NO_3{^-}-N$ was lost by denitrification and leaching process.
