최근 부영양화 문제, 인광석 자원이 부족해지고 있는 국제적 상황, 하수처리장 관로 스케일 문제 등에 대응하기 위하여, Struvite 결정화 공정을 하수처리장 슬러지처리 계통의 고농도 인 제거/회수에 적용하려는 시도를 하고 있다. 본 연구는 실제 국내 하수처리장 슬러지처리 계통에 대한 Struvite 결정화 공정 적용 가능성을 평가를 목표하여, 첫째, 운영자료 및 현장측정자료 분석을 통하여 실제 하수처리장 슬러지처리 계통의 인 농도 및 물질수지를 분석하였고, 둘째, 평형화학 계산 프로그램을 활용하여 Struvite 결정화 반응 포텐셜, 이에 따른 최적 $Mg^{2+}$ 주입량, pH 등에 관해 연구하였고, 셋째, 실험실규모 배치실험을 통해 실제 Struvite 결정화 반응 동역학에 대해 연구하였다. 슬러지처리 계통에서의 인 농도 및 물질수지를 분석하였을 때, Struvite 결정화 공정은 소화슬러지 및 탈리여액에 적용함이 바람직한 것으로 파악되었다. 평형화학 계산결과, 안정적인 공정 운영을 위해서는 pH 8 이상, $Mg^{2+}$ 주입량은 몰비 기준 이론 요구량의 1.2배 이상을 첨가해야 하는 것으로 파악하였다. 그리고, Struvite 결정화 반응 동역학은 1차 반응속도식을 따르고, Struvite 결정화 반응이 평형상태에 도달한 경우, 모든 pH 조건에서 인산염인 제거율이 80% 이상으로 우수하게 나타났다. Struvite 결정화 반응 시 NaOH 첨가 없이 폭기만으로 $CO_2$ 탈기를 일으켜 반응 종결 후 pH 8.7 이상까지 상승했으며, $Mg^{2+}$ 주입원의 경우 간수 등 저가 대체물질을 활용할 수 있으므로, 약품비에 의한 운영비 증대 없이 Struvite 결정화 공정을 적용할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Pollutants in aquaculture system effluent mostly originated from solid wastes including uneaten feed and excreta of cultured species. In this research, DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) unit is suggested as an integrated solid control unit especially as a form of IIBG(Inline Injection Bubble Generation) process in aquaculture system. Solid removal performance of DAF unit was examined under various operation and salinity conditions with turbidity and suspended solid. Solid waste removal efficiencies were found to be affected by operation conditions including saturator pressure, recycle ratio, coagulant concentration. Solid removal efficiency was higher under higher saturator pressure and recycle ratio under which condition larger number of bubbles is generated. Coagulant is thought to have important role in creating bubble-particle aggregate by showing better removal efficiency with higher concentration. However higher saline water showed less effectiveness in removing solids by DAF(IIBG). Application of DAF(IIBG) process also showed additional effect in phosphate removal and DO(Dissolved Oxygen) supply. Phosphate existed in polluted water was removed up to 46% after treatment, which is thought to attribute to aluminium phosphate precipitation. And DO concentration was found to increase over 50% of initial saturation concentration after the injection of micro-bubbles. Through experiments on solid removal from aquaculture effluent, DAF(IIBG) process is estimated to be effective solid control method. This property can help aquaculture system being installed and operated simply and effectively.

The adsorption process using GAC is one of the most secured methods to remove of phosphate from solution. This study was conducted by impregnating Cu(II) to GAC(GAC-Cu) to enhance phosphate adsorption for GAC. In the preparation of GAC-Cu, increasing the concentration of Cu(II) increased the phosphate uptake, confirming the effect of Cu(II) on phosphate uptake. A pH experiment was conducted at pH 4-8 to investigate the effect of the solution pH. Decrease of phosphate removal efficiency was found with increase of pH for both adsorbents, but the reduction rate of GAC-Cu slowed, indicating electrostatic interaction and coordinating bonding were simultaneously involved in phosphate removal. The adsorption was analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm to determine the maximum phosphate uptake(q_m) and adsorption mechanism. According to correlation of determination(R²), Freundlich isotherm model showed a better fit than Langmuir isotherm model. Based on the negative values of q_m, Langmuir adsorption constant(b), and the value of 1/n, phosphate adsorption was shown to be unfavorable and favorable for GAC and GAC-Cu, respectively. The attempt of the linearization of each isotherm obtained very poor R². Batch kinetic tests verified that ~30% and ~90 phosphate adsorptions were completed within 1h and 24 h, respectively. Pseudo second order(PSO) model showed more suitable than pseudo first order(PFO) because of higher R². Regardless of type of kinetic model, GAC-Cu obtained higher constant of reaction(K) than GAC.

원수의 pH, 응집제의 주입량, 희석배수에 따라 알루미늄계 응집제(Alum, PACS, PACC)의 원수내 인과 탁질의 제거효과를 고찰하였다. 저탁도(20 NUT) 및 적정 pH 6~9하에서 알류미늄계 응집제간의 탁도 제거율의 차이는 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 인의 제거율에 있어서는 20~40 ppm의 주입량에 대해서 응집제의 염기도가 증가할수록 감소함을 알 수 있었다. Alum (0%)>PACS (45~50%)>PACC (70%), 고탁도(100 NUT) 하에서는 고분자 응집제인 PACS와 PACC의 응집성능이 단분자 응집제인 Alum보다 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 20 NUT의 저탁도에서 직접 주입한 경우와 비교해서, 500~2000배로 희석한 Alum의 경우에는 응집효율의 감소가 나타났으나 희석된 응집제의 체류시간이 증가함에 따라 탁도 및 인의 제거율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내주었다. 반면에 희석된 PACC의 경우에는 분산도의 증가에 기인한 응집성능의 향상이 나타났으나 희석된 응집제의 체류시간이 증가함에 따라 응집효율의 감소가 나타났다. 100 NTU의 고탁도 조건하에서는 Alum과 PACC를 희석하여 주입시 모두 응집성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

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.

Effects of $H_2O_2$ addition for fenton oxidation on iron coagulation for treatment of phosphorus species, such as orthophosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, organic phosphate, were investigated. The effects of coagulant dosage, hydrogen peroxide dosage and the combined sequence ferric coagulation and $H_2O_2$ addition for fenton oxidation and coagulation were studied. The characteristics of floc growth rate were monitored using the PDA. The removal efficiencies of phosphorus species by iron coagulation were increased as Fe/P molar ratio increased. However, the removal efficiencies of metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, organic phosphate by a ferric coagulation were not increased as Fe/P molar ratio increased. The removal efficiency of metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, organic phosphate was increased by using iron coagulation and $H_2O_2$ addition for fenton oxidation. The result indicated that non-reactive phosphorus after iron coagulation was changed to reactive phosphorus by $H_2O_2$ addition for fenton oxidation and the oxidized iron enhanced the coagulation efficiencies.

This study was carried out to obtain the optimum design factors for an eletrolytric flotation reactor. When the effluent of the leachate treatment facility was treated under the condition of 10 volts, 30 minutes, at the Al-Al electrode system; COD removal efficiency was 45%, and total phosphorus removal efficiency was 98%. The high removal efficiency was caused by the fact that phosphate was removed by leaching $Al^{3+}$ from two electrodes. The leachate containing high ammonium nitrogen concentration was treated by a batch test under the condition of 60 minutes reaction time and added chloride ion; ammonium nitrogen removal efficiency was 89%. This high efficiency was affected by added chloride ion to wastewater. To find the optimum current density and voltage of the leachate containing chloride ion (ratio of $Cl^-/NH_4-N$ is 11) a electrochemical polarization curve was used. These values were found to be $4.5mA/cm^2$ and about 2.1 V, respectively. When C-Al electrode system was used at a batch test, the total nitrogen removal efficiency was increased by 1.8 to 3.3 times, compared to Al-Al electrode system due to high $Cl_2$ gas production.

The use of water by cities is increasing owing to industrialization, the concentration of population, and the enhancement of the standard of living. Accordingly, the amount of waste water is also increasing, and the degree of pollution of the water system is rising. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to remove organisms and suspended particles as well as the products of eutrophication such as nitrates and phosphates. This study developed a high-end treatment engineering solution with maximum efficiency and lower costs by researching and developing a advanced treatment engineering solution with the use of Biosorption. As a result, the study conducted a test with a $50m^3/day$ Pilot Scale Plant by developing treatment engineering so that only the secondary treatment satisfies the standard of water quality and which provided optimal treatment efficiency along with convenient maintenance and management. The removal of organisms, which has to be pursued first for realizing nitrification during the test period, was made in such a way that there would be no oxidation by microorganisms in the reactor while preparing oxygen as an inhibitor for the growth of microorganism in the course of moving toward the primary settling pond. The study introduced microorganisms in the endogeneous respiration stage to perform adhesion, absorption, and filtering by bringing them into contact with the inflowing water with the use of a sludge returning from the secondary settling pond. Also a test was conducted to determine how effective the microorganisms are as an inner source of carbon. The HRT(Hydraulic Retention Time) in the nitrification tank (aerobic tank) could be reduced to two hours or below, and the stable treatment efficiency of the process using the organisms absorbed in the NAR reactor as a source of carbon could be proven. Also, given that the anaerobic condition of the pre-treatment tank becomes basic in the area of phosphate discharge, it was found that there was excellent efficiency for the removal of phosphate when the pre-treatment tank induced the discharge of phosphate and the polishing reactor induced the uptake of phosphate. The removal efficiency was shown to be about 94.4% for $BOD_5$. 90.7% for $COD_{Cr}$ 84.3% for $COD_{Mn}$, 96.0% for SS, 77.3% for TN, and 96.0% for TP.

Sequencing Batch Reactor(SBR) experiments for organics and nutrients removal have been conducted to find an optimum anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic cycling time and evaluate the applicability of oxidation-reduction potential(ORP) as a process control parameter. In this study, a 61 bench-scale plant was used and fed with night-soil wastewater in K city which contained TCODcr : 10, 680 mg/l, TBm : 6, 893 mg/l, $NH_4^+-N$ : 1, 609 mg/l, $PO_4^{3-}-P$ : 602 mg/l on average. The cycling time In SBRs was adjusted at 12 hours and 24 hours, and then certainly included anaerobic, aerobic and inoxic conditions. Also, for each cycling time, we performed 3 series of experiment simultaneously which was set up 10 days, 20 days and 30 days as SRT From the experimental results, the optimum cycling time for biological nutrient removal with nlght-soil wastewater was respctively 3hrs, 5hrs, 3hrs(anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic), Nitrogen removal efficiency was 77.9%, 77.9%, 81.7% for each SRT, respectively. When external carbon source was fed in the anoxic phase, ORP-bending point indicating nitrate break point appeared clearly and nitrogen removal efficiency increased as 96.5%, 97.1%, 98.9%. Phosphate removal efficiency was 59.8%, 64.571, 68.6% for each SRT. Also, we finded the applicability of ORP as a process control parameter in SBRs.
