In this study, the effects of single and binary heavy metals toxicity on the growth and phosphorus removal ability of Bacillus sp.. known as be a phosphorus-removing microorganism, were quantitatively evaluated. Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni were used as heavy metals. As a result of analysis of variance of the half of inhibition concentration and half of effective concentration for each single heavy metal treatment group, the inhibitory effect on the growth of Bacillus sp. was Ni < Pb < Zn < Cu < Cd. And the inhibitory effect on phosphorus removal by Bacillus sp. was Ni < Pb < Zn < Cu < Cd. When analyzing the correlation between growth inhibition and phosphorus removal efficiency of a single heavy metal treatment group, a negative correlation was found (R² = 0.815), and a positive correlation was found when the correlation between IC₅₀ and EC₅₀ was analyzed (R² = 0.959). In all binary heavy metal treatment groups, the interaction was an antagonistic effect when evaluated using the additive toxicity index method. This paper is considered to be basic data on the toxic effects of heavy metals when phosphorus is removed using phosphorus removal microorganisms in wastewater.

The treatment performances of anaerobic-aerobic activated sludge process were investigated under various operation conditions. The treatment system proposed in this study gave a relatively stable performance against hourly change of the flow rate and showed a satisfactory removal efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds under experimental conditions. The average removal efficiency of total nitrogen gradually decreased as the influent total nitrogen concentration was increased. High C/N ratio of the wastewater was required for the complete removal of nitrogen. Glucose as a carbon source was more efficient than starch and the removal ability for all components become higher with the increase of the fraction of glucose.

Since most of the existing wastewater treatment options lack the ability to treat micro-contaminants, the increased use of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and release as human waste have become a serious concern in recent years. Constructed wetlands (CWs) are a low-cost technology for wastewater treatment, however, its performance in term of PPCPs removal has not yet been fully investigated. This study aimed to characterize the removal factors and efficiency of acetaminophen (ACT) removal by CWs. The results revealed the decreased concentrations of ACT with increasing hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 0, 3, 5 days. The contribution of removal factors was found to be varied with initial ACT concentration. At the low ACT concentration (i.e. 1 ppb), plant uptake was the dominant, followed by microbial and photolytic removal. In contrast, at the high ACT concentration (i.e. 100 ppb), microbial and photolytic removal were found as dominant factors. On the other hand, hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) concentration was found at higher level in the plant shoot than in the root probably due to occurrence of the Fenton reaction resulting in PPCPs removal.

A comprehensive fractionation technique was applied to a set of water samples obtained along drinking water treatment process with ozonation and biological activated carbon (BAC) process to obtain detailed profiles of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and to evaluate the haloacetic acid (HAA) formation potentials of these DOM fractions. The results indicated that coagulation-sedimentation-sand filtration treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophilic fraction (28%), while removal of hydrophobic and transphilic fraction were 57% and 40%, respectively. And ozonation and BAC treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophobic fractions (6%), while removal of hydrophilic and transphilic fractions were 25% and 18%. The haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP)/dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of hydrophilic fraction was the highest along the treatment train and HAAFP/DOC of hydrophilic fraction was higher than hydrophobic and transphilic fraction as 23%~30%, because of better removal for hydrophobic fraction both in concentration and reactivity.

수용액으로부터 중금속의 제거에 소나무수피, 배추, 게 껍질을 이용하였다. 흡착과 이온교환에 의한 중금속의 제거를 조사하기 위해서 시간, 초기농도변화, 흡착제량 변화에 따른 흡착 효율을 조사하고 각각의 실험마다 pH 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 배추가 가장 우수한 흡착력을 보였고, 그 다음으로 게 껍질이 우수한 흡착력을 보였다. 특이할 만 한 사항은 배추와 소나무수피의 흡착 실험시 pH는 감소하나 게 껍질의 경우에는 pH가 오히려 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In order to decolorize disperse dyes by using biological treatment process, a strain which has potential ability to degrade disperse dyes was isolated from natural system. To increase the removal efficiency of decolorization in the aqueous solutions, the optimal condition of decolorization by this strain was investigated, and continuous plant test was also developed. The optimal culture conditions of temperature and pH were found to be 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 8.5~9, respectively. When yeast extract was mixed with polypeptone at the mixing ratio of 1:1 as a nitrogen source, decolorization efficiency was highest(93%) among the nitrogen sources. The strain to be screened was excellent to adjust to pH, and it seems to be have ability to control pH needed to growth. The optimal culture conditions in concentration of $MgSO_4\cdot{7H}_2O$ and $KH_2PO_4$ were 0.1%(w/v) and 0.2%(w/v). The result of continuous plant process using wastewater was as following : $COD_{Mn}$ removal efficiency was over than 50%, and this strain was very excellent in decolorization-efficiency for the wastewater of Taegu dyeing complex.

대형저서동물에서 우점하고 있는 갯지렁이류는 퇴적층의 유기물 섭취를 통하여 저질환경개선에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 최근 양식기술이 개발된 바위털갯지렁이를 이용하여 갯벌 퇴적층의 유기물 제거효과를 검토하였다. 이를 위하여 입자특성이 다른 세종류의 저질환경(S1: 강사질, S2: 해사질, S3: 니사질)에서 해수 및 퇴적층의 TOC를 측정하였다. 바위털갯지렁이는 세종류의 입자특성에서 모두 유기물 제거효과를 나타내었으며, 입자가 클수록 제거율이 높았다. 유기물 정화능력을 정량적으로 평가한 결과 바위털갯지렁이는 각 저질별로 강사질에서 3.9856 ppm g^-1d^-1, 해사질에서 2.8021 ppm g^-1d^-1, 그리고 니사질에서 28.1142 ppm g^-1d^-1의 제거능력을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 바위털갯지렁이가 다양한 저질에서 유기물 제거에 기여하고 있음을 보여 주었다.

The microorganism for ammonia gas removal was isolated from composting product. This was identified as Brevundimonas diminuta by morphological, biochemical characteristics study and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Optimal incubation temperature for cell growth and oxidizing ability of $NH_4-N$ was $30^{\circ}C$ and optimal initial pH was 7. Glucose affected the growth of cell and the removal of $NH4^+$. The growth rate of the isolates were increased when grown in the presence of 0.05-1%(w/v) glucose in the selective medium and lurker increases in glucose concentration to 2% caused significant decreases in the cell growth and oxidizing ability of $NH4^+$.

An investigation was made to develop new biofilm medium which could be applied to the Sequencing Batch Biofilm Reactor(SBBR) system for enhanced nutrient removal. 21 kinds of polyurethane media were tested fro adhesion ability for nitrifying bacteria. Nitrification rates were also tested by introducing synthetic wastewater containing ammonium-nitrogen to reactors with biofilm media. It was found that Z96-06 medium had higher selective adhension ability for nitrifying bacteria than the other biofilm media. The nitrification rate was 2.21 mg {{{{ { NH}`_{4 } ^{ +} }}}}-N /L$.$h$.$g MLSS when we operated the SBBR system containing Z96-06. Nitrification rate of the SBBR system increased approximately by 30% compared with that of the Sequencing Batch Reactor(SBR) system which did not contain biological carrier.
