The effluent from conventional nightsoil treatment plants contains nutrients, color and chlorides, in addition to residual organics and suspended solids, and thereby causes substantial pollution problems in receving water resources. In order to verify the usefullness of electrolysis in removing those residual pollutants from such conventional nightsoil treatment plant effluent, a bench scale experiment was conducted using sufficiently dilluted human nightsoil as experiment feeds. The result showed mean removals of 45% of total phosphorus and 85% of color, in addition 87% of residual BOD, 47% of residual COD and 85% of residual SS. The optimum electric current was found to be 15 ampere and the optimum hydraulic residence time 21/2 hour.
The dewatering characteristics of the sewage sludge was investigated through the experimental observations and model simulations. The activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge were examined for the dewaterability evaluation within the pressure range of $0{\sim}10^6N/m^2$. Modified Buchner funnel test and compression test by the consolidometer were conducted to evaluate average specific resistance, porosity, and moisture percentage of filter cake. Shirato's technique of compression-permeability test was followed for the pressure range lower than about $10^2N/m^2$. The flocculation effects on sludge dewatering was also examined for ferric chloride and polymeric flocculant. The application of hydrated lime which can be used for flue-gas desulfurization showed improved moisture percentage, and was thought to have positive feasibility in combined system of sludge dewatering and incineration. Determined characteristic constants were applied to Tiller's cake filtration model to simulate liquid pressure distribution and porosity distribution in cake. Model simulations showed a sharp drop of the porosity close to the cake-medium interface for the highly compressible material such as the activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge.
Today a conventional water treatment system has many problems. The ozone/GAC process, sometimes termed Biological Activated Carbon(BAC), appeared to be effective for the removal of soluble organic matters in the drinking water. The water quality of Nak-dong river in Pusan, generally shows BDOC 30-40% and NBDOC 60-70%. The pilot plant installed at the Duk-san water works that was been largest treatability(1,650,000ton/day) in Pusan. A experimental water in the pilot plant made use of the water after sand-filteration. Following results are drawn from this study. Initial adsorption velocity($DOC/DOC_o/T$) in the pure adsorption of GAG had a 0.0225, it's velocity changed to 0.006 after ozone added and the optimum ozone dose ranged of $1.4-2.0mgO_3/L$. A experimental water in the pilot plant composed with humic material(78%). Humic material composed with humic acid(20%) and fulvic acid(56%), and it's rate changed to 18 and 50% respectively after ozone added. DOC constantly decreased in the EBCTs and removal efficieny in the 15min of EBCT was 45-50%. It showed the largest removal rate of BDOC in the EBCT 5 and among the season, characteristics of removal varied. The HPC distributed over $10^6-10^7CFU/cm^3$ in the bed depth and among the season, distribution of HPC were differential.
연못시스템의 처리정도는 기후조건(氣候條件)과 아주 밀접한 관계가 있다. 기존시스템이 없는 경우 비슷한 기후권의 사례지역을 반드시 비교분석하게 된다. 미국 온대권에 위치한 Corinne과 Eudora 시스템의 기온과 태양복사량을 김포지역과 비교한 결과 아주 유사함이 규명되었다. 특히 태양복사열의 경우, 여름철에 김포지역이 두 시스템보다 조류성장에 유리한 조건이다. 국내 중부지방에 Corinne과 Eudora 시스템과 비슷한 연못시스템을 설치운영(設置運營)하는 데는 문제점이 없음을 알 수 있다. 남부지방은 연중기온이 김포지역보다 높으므로 연못시스템의 이용이 김포지역보다 유리하다. 미국에서는 연못시스템이 2차처리시설(次處理施設)로 합법화되어 있으며, 2차처리 수질기준(水質基準)을 충족시키고 있다. Corinne과 Eudora 연못시스템의 처리수준을 분석한 결과 처리수의 $BOD_5$ 가 30mg/l 이하로 처리되고 있으나, SS 농도가 30mg/l 보다 다소 높은 경우가 있다. Eudora시스템에서 4월에 일어나는 연못하수의 회전기간(回轉期間)을 제외하고는 연못시스템에 적용하는 처리수의 SS기준인 70-100mg/l 이내로 처리되고 있다. 우리나라 중부지방에 Corinne과 Eudora 시스템과 유사한 연못처리시스템을 설치(設置)하면 2차 처리수준으로 하수를 처리할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 연못시스템은 양어, 작물생산, 레크레이션이용과 결합시킬 수 있어, 국내의 경우 농촌소도시 지역, 도시경계 생산녹지지역, 내륙 및 하구의 저습지(wetland)에서 소형뿐아니라 대형 시스템으로 활용이 가능하다.
The variation of the urban water demand and the amount of water in the distribution reservoir was studied with time for a day. The city of Kwangju in Korea was selected as a study area. The population of Kwangju in the end of 1993 was more than one million and two hundred thousand peoples. The average of daily water use in 1993 was about three hundred and fifty thousand tons a day. One day was devided into 12 divisions with a 2 hour increment. The water use demand related to the amount of water in the distribution reservoir was observed for the given time interval of a day. The water use index was defind in percentage that indicates the ratio of the amount of water use for a time interval to the amount of water use for a day. The water use index with consideration of the water stored in the reservoir was found to be useful to manage and to operate the water supply systems in real time.
The purpose of this study was to more fully evaluate the potential for chlorophenol degradation in anaerobic sludge. The pH effects on the ring cleavage of phenol and dechlorination of monochlorophenol isomers and dichlorophenl isomers. This study results are as follows ; Each of the monochlorophenol isomers were degraded in anaerobic sludge. The relatives rates were 2-Chlorophenol > 3-Chlorophenol > 4-Chlorophenol. Biodegradation results for the dichlorophenol isomers in anaerobic sludge are such as 2,3-dichlorophenol and 2,5-dichlorophenol was reductively dechlorinated to 3-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol to 4-chlorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol to 2-chlorophenol. The two dichlorophenol isomers which did not contain an ortho Cl substituent 3,4-dichlorophenol and 3,5-dichlorophenol were persistent during the 6-week incubation. The rate of dechlorination was enhanced by the presence of a Cl group ortho, rather than para, to the site of dechlorination.
