Despite the expansion of sewage treatment facilities to reduce pollutants in the tributaries of the Han River, water pollution accidents such as fish deaths continue to frequently occur. The purpose of this study was to identify the pollutant sources using water quality and stable isotope ratio (${\delta}^{15}N$, ${\delta}^{13}C$, ${\delta}^{15}N-NH_4$, ${\delta}^{15}N-NO_3$) analysis results in the three inflow tributaries (Gulpocheon (GP), Anyangcheon (AY) and Sincheon (SC)) of the Han River. Water quality was analyzed in June and October from 2013 to 2017, and the results showed that the concentrations of nutrients, such as T-N, $NO_3-N$, and T-P, were increased at GP4, AY3, SC3, and SC4, which lie downstream of sewage treatment facilities. The results of ${\delta}^{15}N$ for June 2017 indicated that the source of nitrogen was sewage or livestock excreta at GP4 and SC4, and organic fertilizers at AY3 and SC3. ${\delta}^{15}N-NO_3$ results suggested that the source of nitrogen was related to organic sewage, livestock or manure at GP4, AY3 and SC4. Therefore, GP4 and SC4 were more influenced by effluent from sewage treatment facilities than by their tributaries, AY3 and SC3 were considered to be influenced more by their tributary than effluent from sewage treatment facilities. With the results of this study, the source of contamination (sewage treatment facility effluent) of river inflow downstream of Han River could be confirmed using water quality and stable isotope ratio.

The use of photo-catalytic processes in pollution abatement and resource has a significant economic importance. Therefore, the applications of photochemical oxidation of secondary effluent driven by UV, TiO2, TiO2/UV, H2O2/UV and TiO2/H2O2/UV, have been investigated in order to treat the secondary effluent from municipal sewage. Various experimental parameters such as BOD, CODcr, Nurbidity, total P, and SPC were examined in each photo-catalytic reaction system. The results showed that the application of single oxidant such as UV, TiO2 only has a minor effect on parameters reduction (CODcr, BOD, etc) to treat the secondary effluent, whereas the combinations of oxidants increase the removal efficiency. The best removal efficiency in every parameters was achieved by the combination of TiO2, H2O2 and UV. It was also found that the optimum amount of TiO2 for the treatment was 1g/ι to achieve water reuse standard. From the results, the photocatalytic reaction system can be an alternative as a post-treatment to treat the secondary effluent from municipal sewage.

UASB-ABF (Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket-aerated bio-filter) 시스템을 이용한 하수의 혐기성처리 방법에서 질소와 인을 제거하는 공법에 대하여 연구하였다. 160일간의 UASB-ABF 시스템을 운영한 결과 유출수 반송을 통하여 TCOD뿐만 아니라, TN과 TP를 효율적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 무반송의 경우 UASB 반응조에서 유기물 제거효율은 64%에 머물었으나, 반송률 120%, 180%, 240%로 증가한 결과 각각 92%, 95%, 96%로 향상되었다. 반송률 180% 이상에서는 유기물 제거효율 증가폭은 크지 않았다. ABF 유출수 반송으로 TN 제거효율이 크게 향상되었다. TN 제거효율은 무반송 조건일 때 18%에서 82%로 향상되었으며, UASB에서 지속적인 유기물질 제거로 인하여 ABF에서 질산화효율은 안정적으로 95% 이상으로 타나났다. ABF 유출수 반송으로 TP 및 $PO{_4}^{3-}$-P 제거효율이 모두 향상되었다. TP의 경우 무반송에서는 거의 제거되지 않았으나, 반송률이 120%, 180%, 240%에서는 각각 51%, 63%, 71%로 향상되었고, 주로 UASB에서 제거되었다.

하수방류수 살균 소독에 이용되는 UV 램프를 기존의 전극용보다 효율을 높이고 수명이 긴 무 전극 UV 램프를 제작하고 그 성능을 알아보았다. 우선 활성물질을 변화시키면서 제조한 램프의 UV 강도 및 온도의 변화를 실험 하였다. 그 결과 활성물질이 Hg/In의 무게비 95/5로 만든 램프를 250 min간 운전한 결과 UV 강도 $300{\mu}W/cm^2$ 및 온도 $200{\sim}250^{\circ}C$로 가장 안정적인 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나 무전극 램프를 장시간 발광시켰을 경우 램프의 온도가 상승하기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위해 실제 하수처리공정에 적용할 수 있는 냉각이 가능한 이중관 형태로 제작하여 UV 강도와 온도 변화특성을 알아보았다. 또한 제작된 무전극 UV lamp를 하수 방류수의 살균 소독을 위하여 대장균(E-coli.)으로 실험한 결과에서도 99.9% 이상의 살균효율을 보였다.

Absorbent Biofilter Systems (ABS), composed of an anaerobic septic tank, a pump chamber and an absorbent biofilter tank, have been found to economically provide rural on-site wastewater treatment. This study was conducted to assess the potential of ABS effluent as an alternative water resource for agricultural and environmental use, with respect to the removal of pathogenic microorganism and their fertilization effect. A pilot scale ABS was used to compare its removal efficiency of pathogens from effluent water. Overall, more than 95 percent of Salmonella and E. coli were removed. This result demonstrates that a significant reduction in the pathogenic microorganism of effluents can occur in ABS, which implies the feasibility for the use of ABS effluent in agriculture and environment, with the provision of a further simple disinfection step, in order to satisfy the WHO guidelines for the microbiological quality in agriculture. In addition, because of the abundant nutritional content of ABS effluent, the substitution effect of fertilizer (N, P and K) in paddy irrigation, i.e. 2/3 for nitrogen, l/3 for phosphorus and 1/5 for potassium would be expected. Based on the experimental data, the ABS effluent could be used as a new alternative water resource for paddy irrigation, as well as for environmental purposes, such as supplying water to ecological parks in rural villages.

The InSub system(applied for a patent) was developed, as it combined the indirectly aerated submerged biofiltration(InSub) reactor and Anaerobic/ Anoxic reactor. This system which can eliminate organism and nutrient materials at the same time, which is safe and economical to be maintained and managed is more simple process than the complicated existing biological advanced sewage treatment system. The most suitable HRT of this study showed 9 hours. As looking into the effluent concentration and removal efficiency of each item at 9 hours of HRT, each effluent concentration for $SS,\;BOD5,\;COD_{Mn},\;and\;COD_{Cr}$ was 1.46 mg/L, 7,09 mg/L, 9.84 mg/L and 16.42 mg/L. And their removal efficiency was 96.98%. 90.59%, 77.18% and 83.92%, respectively. Each effluent concentration of T-N and T-P was 10.42 mg/L and 1.04 mg/L. Their removal efficiency was 73.38% and 61.62%, respectively. This pilot plant experiment(the state was without the internal recycling.) followed a variety of HRT. The results confirmed that it was to be advanced sewage treatment system with high efficiency when it combined with the internal recycling.

The evaluation of the effluent water quality of sewage treatment plant is one of the most important factor in calculating total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). Current method to calculate 95% upper limit of effluent water quality of sewage treatment plant assuming normal distribution of data needs to be implemented in case of non-normal distribution. We have investigated the applicability of percentile ranking method as a non-parametric statistical analysis in case of non-normal distribution of data.

In this study, an analysis of the characteristics of organic matter and nitrogenous oxygen demand (NOD) of 17 sewage effluent and wastewater treatments was conducted. High CODMn and carbonaceous biological oxygen demand (CBOD) concentrations were observed in the livestock treatment plants (LTP), wastewater treatment plants(WTP), and night soil treatment plants (NTP), but the highest NOD concentration and contribution rates of NOD to BOD5 were found in sewage treatment plants (STP). There was no significant difference in the CBOD/CODMn ratio for each of the six pollution source groups, but the LTPs, WTPs, and NTPs all showed relatively high CODMn concentrations in their effluent samples, indicating that they are facilities which discharge large amounts of refractory organic matter. The seasonal change of NOD in all facilities' effluent was found to be larger than the seasonal change of CBOD, and data results also revealed an elevation of NOD and NH3-N concentration from December to February, when the water temperature was low. There was no significant difference in NH3-N concentration in relation to pollution source group (p=0.08, one-way ANOVA), but the STP, which had a high NOD contribution rate to BOD5 of 48%, showed a high correlation between BOD5 and NOD (r2=0.95, p<0.0001). These results suggest that the effect of NOD on BOD5 is an important factor to be considered when analyzing STP effluent.

본 연구에서는 버려지는 연탄재를 하수처리에 이용하여 그 처리효율 및 활용성 등을 조사하였다. 본 연탄재 공법에 의해 처리된 처리수의 $BOD_5$, CODcr, SS 등은 각각 1.1 (mg/L), 9.5 (mg/L), 3.8(mg/L)를 나타내며 원수와 비교하여 99%, 92.7%, 96.3%의 처리효율을 보여주었다. 본 연탄재공법에 의한 처리수의 총 세균 및 대장균에 대한 제거효율은 각각 평균 9 (cfu/ml) 및 1.2 (cfu/ml)로 나타나 기존의 하수처리장 방류수와 비교하여 괄목할만한 감소효과를 보여주었다. 한편, 1년 이상의 장기적 운전실험에서는 변함없는 높은 처리효율의 유지와 함께 계절별 처리효율의 변동폭이 매우 낮았으며, 슬러지발생이 차단되는 효과를 보여주었다. 본 연탄재공법은 연탄재를 재활용함은 물론, 높은 처리효율과 슬러지의 발생을 감소시킴으로써 환경친화적인 공법이라 할 수 있으며, 중소규모의 하수처리 및 처리수의 재활용에 매우 유용할 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

본 연구에서는 J 하수 처리장의 최종 방류수를 대상으로 종속영양세균의 증식과 수중 물리, 화학적 영향인자와의 관계를 고찰하였다. 하수 중의 용존 유기물질 농도는 종속영양세균의 성장과 가장 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 미생물의 영양원인 단백질, 지방, 전분, 섬유소, 팩틴의 분해 세균 분포를 파악한 결과 하수 중 단백질 및 지방세균의 비율은 전체의 81%로 가장 높았다. 종속영양세균은 연중 8월에 가장 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 하수 방류수에 대해 10 mg/L의 유리염소를 주입하여 15 min간 접촉시 THMs의 농도는 $71{\mu}/L$ (< $100{\mu}/L$- 먹는 물 수질기준)의 값을 나타내어 높지 않았다.
