Recently, pollution problem in coastal water has become more serious and pollution including red tide serves as a main reason for reduction of fishes resources. Particularly, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus are the most serious pollutants. Normally, biological wastewater treatment process is used in removing such nutrients. However, it is difficult to adopt the biological wastewater treatment process to a small-scale fish processing factory in case of using seawater as wash water. Thus, removing nutrients through struvite crystallization is investigated in this study for treating shrimp processing wastewater. Experiments were conducted by varying molar ratio of Mg2+:NH4-N:PO4-P from 1:1:1 to 2:1:1. It can be concluded that optimum molar ratio is 1:1:1. Struvite crystallization process is compared with chemical coagulation process using PAC and struvite crystallization process is proven as the more effective process in removing nutrients from wastewater. In view of results obtained from these experiments, struvite crystallization process is a promising method in removing nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater; however, not so good in removing organics. Thus, struvite crystallization process is suitable as the pre-treatment process in treating shrimp processing wastewater and additional biological process is needed to remove organics.

The present study investigated the effects of processing parameters such as time (10, 20, 30, 40 min), pressure (25, 50, 75, 100 MPa), and the salinity of brine (0~10%(w/v)) on jacopever (Sebastes schlegeli Hilgendorf) in order to establish optimization of the three factors using a high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) machine. To do so, it analyzed the quality characteristics of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), trimethylamine (TMA), total bacterial counts, dynamic viscoelasticities, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) properties. First, when the time increased to 40 mins, by 10 min intervals, the total bacterial counts in HHP groups under 25℃, 100 MPa, and 4%(w/v) brine were significantly decreased except for the first 10 min in comparison to the control group. In regards to DSC properties, the onset temperature (TO) of the first endothermal curve was significantly reduced. Second, when the pressure level increased up to 100 MPa by 25 MPa increments, the total bacterial counts in the HHP samples significantly decreased for 20 min at 50 MPa or higher. As the pressure increased, G′, G″ and the slope of tan δ decreased (except for 50 MPa). Third, in regards to the salinities of brine, when the HHP processing was treated at 100 MPa, 25℃ for 20 min, the total bacterial counts of all the HHP groups significantly decreased in comparison to those of the control group. A significant difference was found in the enthalpy of the second endothermic curve in the 6~10%(w/v) (except 7%(w/v)) HHP groups. Therefore, the salinity of the immersion water under the HHP condition was appropriate when it was lower than 6%(w/v). The present study demonstrated that the optimum parameter condition according to/under the condition of the microbial inhibition and economic effects using an HHP would be the reaction time for 20 min, reaction pressure at 100 MPa, and the salinity of 4%(w/v) brine.

Various studies have forwarded an outstanding wastewater effluent treatment systems toward securing sustainable supply of water sources. In this paper, a broad overview of the performance of MF membrane as pretreatment option for wastewater reuse will be presented based on the literature survey and experiments conducted over the wastewater reuse pilot plant. The pilot plant was operated with a continuous data acquisition for about 300days under various chemical enhanced backwash (CEB) system with subsequent treated water quality analysis. Accordingly, assessment of the effluent revealed that the pretreated water is suitable enough to be used as an input for Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit and significant effect of CEB and concentration of NaOCl is also conceived from the analysis. Moreover, it's also observed that the application of various CEB condition over long operational hours induced a constant declination of overall performance of MF membrane.

Membrane distillation (MD) is the thermally driven water separation process based on the vapor pressure difference across the membrane. In order to increase the water recovery of the conventional RO process, the additional MD-PRO pocess was suggested. In this study, the syntheric RO brine was used as a feed solution of the MD process. Due to the high salinity of the RO brine, the MD membrane could be fouled by the scalants. In order to mitigate the scaling on the MD membrane surface, the pre-treatment process using the column filled by natural zeolite was applied. The roughing filter was installed between the pre-treatment process and MD system in order to prevent possible particulate fouling by the debries of the natural zeolite. Moreover, in order to enhance the CEC of the natural zeolite, the NaCl soaking was conducted. The flux and electronic conductivity were monitored under given experimental conditions. And the membrane morphology and the chemical compositions were analyzed by using the SEM-EDX.

수온 상승에 따른 조류 등 이취미 물질의 증가, 미량 유해물질의 검출로 인해 기존 여과 공정으로 시민들의 수질 기대조건을 충족할 수 없기 때문에 오존+활 성탄 등의 고도정수처리 공정의 도입이 활성화되었으며, 이미 대도시, 광역단위 에는 고도정수처리 공정 도입이 완료된 상황이다. 대부분의 국내 정수장의 여과 공정은 급속 모래여과 공정으로 구성되어 있으며, 10년간 막여과 공정이 등장하여 여과 공정에 따른 후단 오존+활성탄 공정에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이 필요하다고 판단되었다. 서울시 Y 정수장에 설치된 고도정수처리 파일럿 플랜트 를 활용하여 고도정수처리 공정에 모래여과수와 막여과수가 유입되었을 경우 수질 및 제거율의 변화와 활성탄 표면 변화를 관찰하였고 이를 통해 막여과 정수처리 공정 도입 필요성을 검토하였다.

본 연구에서는 녹차씨의 재배 지역별, 부위별 및 전처리 공정에 따른 추출 수율을 비교하고 Candida albicans, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii 및 Pichia membranifaciens에 대한 항효모 활성을 평가하였다. 보성과 하동 지역 녹차씨는 추 출 수율과 항효모 활성 비교 결과 차이가 없는 것으로 평가되었다. 녹차씨를 과피와 속씨로 분리하여 추출하고, 녹차 씨 추출물 및 녹차씨유와 항효모 활성을 비교한 결과 과피 추출물과 녹차씨유는 효모에 대한 저해활성을 나타내지 않 았으며, 녹차씨와 속씨 추출물은 동일한 항효모 활성을 나타내었다. 녹차씨와 속씨의 추출 수율은 각각 9.1%, 9.8%로 과피 유무에 따른 수율 차이는 크지 않았다. 녹차씨의 전처리 공정에 따른 추출수율 및 항효모활성 비교에서, 녹차씨 의 건조 상태(수분 함량), 분쇄 공정(롤, 믹서), 탈지 공정(헥산 처리, 유압기)에 따른 항효모 활성에는 차이가 없었으 며, 추출 수율의 경우 7.3% 수분함량, 믹서분쇄, 유압기 처리 녹차씨에서 각각 17.5%, 27.4%, 23.8%로 더 우수하였다.

This study was performed to evaluate the alternative improvement plans for removal efficiency of plating wastewater treatment processes with high concentrations of heavy metals and total nitrogen in the influent. The average removal efficiency rates of the existing wastewater treatment plant were 58% of CODcr, 74% of CODmn, 78% of TN, 99% of TP, respectively. However, the concentration of SS (about 250 mg/L) was over the emission standard (120 mg/L). TN and Cu2+ concentrations were over the emission standard; about 62 mg/L and 5.2 mg/L, respectively. Carbon source quantity, fed into the anoxic tank of the biological wastewater treatment process, was controled by calculating the optimum required COD amount for denitrification. The removal efficiency rates of Zn2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ were achieved using an electrolysis reactor 89%, 89%, and 99%, respectively. Therefore, it was recommended to modify the existing wastewater treatment process including the chemical precipitation to the electrolysis reactor as an efficient and environmentally effective alternative.

Temperature correction trans-membrane pressure (TC-TMP) is frequently used as a fouling index in membrane water treatment plants. TC-TMP equation is derived based on an assumption that the total membrane resistance (i.e. the sum of the intrinsic membrane resistance and fouling resistance) is not affected by temperature. This work verified the validity of this assumption using microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with and without fouling. The foulants used in the work were kaolin (inorganic) and humic acid (organic). The intrinsic resistances of MF and UF membranes remains at constant values regardless of temperature change. When the same amount of foulants were accumulated on the membrane, inorganic fouling resistance with kaolin was constant regardless of temperature change while organic fouling resistance with humic acid decreased at higher temperatures, which means that TC-TMP cannot be used as a fouling index when organic fouling occurs in a real field application. Since TC-TMP underestimates the amount of fouling at higher temperatures, more attention should be necessary in the operation of membrane water treatment plant in a hotter season like summer.

국내 정수장의 70%를 차지하는 15년 이상의 정수장의 대체 방안으로 막 여과 공정의 도입이 검토되고 있다. 동시에 원수의 특성에 적합한 막 여과 공정의 효율적인 공정개발을 위한 노력이 진행되고 있다.(Hur et al., 2006). 본 연구는 침지형 중공사막 모듈에서의 물리적 형태의 막 오염 제어를 위해 역ㆍ공세의 효과를 비교 분석하여 공정의 효율성을 평가하였다. 역ㆍ공세의 시간 및 강도 등의 운전조건을 변경하여 비교한 결과 공세를 통해 중공사막 표면에 존재하는 물리적 오염물질들의 제거가 충분히 되어 역세의 효과 크지 않음이 확인되었다.

막여과 정수처리 공정에서는 효율적 처리와 관리를 위하여, 일정용량의 계열(Train)을 복수로, 고회수율 달성을 위한 다단(Stage)의 구성을 사용한다. 이에 따라, 각 계열 또는 단이 처리해야하는 대상수의 농도가 서로 상이하고, 원수 및 약품의 유입위치와 방향 등에 따라 막오염 특성이 서로 상이하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다수의 계열과 2단으로 구성된 침지식 막여과 정수처리 공정에서 계열 및 단별 오염특성을 파악코자 하였다. 10년 이상 운영이 지속된 막여과 정수처리 공정을 대상으로 한 오염평가실험에서, 전단/앞 계열에서는 무기오염이, 후단/후 계열에서는 유기오염이 상대적으로 높게 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, 이러한 자료를 바탕으로 막여과공정의 운영관리 방안을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

국내 다수의 정수장이 적용하고 있는 전통적인 정수처리 공정만으로는 신규 유해물질이나 미량유해물질의 처리 보증을 할 수 없다. 안정적인 고도정수처리공정으로 막분리공정의 적용과 연구가 진행되고 있다. 원수의 특성에 따른 막여과 고도정수처리공정의 개발과 이에 대한 장기적인 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 계절에 따라 고농도의 망간이 발현되고 있는 경북 U정수장 내의 막여과 시설을 운영하면서 고도정수처리공정의 개발과 장기 성능 평가를 진행하였다. 막여과시설의 일처리용량은 1,000 m³으로 최적 운영인자 확보와 정수처리성능을 평가하였다.

This study examined the occurrence and removals of 14 micropollutants in the influents and the treated effluent of each process in a WTP. 12 out of the 14 micropollutants were detected in the influent source waters and 11 compounds survived in the final effluent at ppt level. MPT showed the highest level in both the influent and effluent. There was a seasonal variation in the micropollutant level. Most of the removals of micropollutants occurred at the coagulation stage in the WTP. Our results indicate that the removal of micropollutants during lab scale experiment and at the WTP can be somewhat different, and the physicochemical properties are important parameters in the removal of micropollutants during the WTP.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical quenching system for residual ozone and to determine the operating condition for the quenching system. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃) were investigated as quenching reagents for ozone removal, and the tendency of each chemical was notably different. In the case of H₂O₂, the degradation rate of ozone was increased as the concentration of H₂O₂ increase, and temperature and pH value have a significant effect on the degradation rate of ozone. On the other hand, the degradation rate of ozone was not affected by the concentration of Na₂S₂O₃, temperature and pH value, due to the high reactivity between the S₂O₃²- and ozone. This study evaluates the decomposition mechanism of ozone by H₂O₂ and Na₂S₂O₃ with consideration for the water quality and reaction time. Furthermore, the removal test for the quenching reagents, which can be remained after reaction with ozone, was conducted by GAC process.
