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.

Odor control technology include absorption, adsorption, incineration and biological treatments. But, most of processes have some problems such as secondary organic acids discharge at the final odor treatment facility. In order to solve the problems for effective treatment of organic acids in odor, it is necessary to develop a new type advanced odor control technology. Some of the technology are plasma only process and plasma hybrid process as key process of the advanced technology. In this study, odor removal performance was compared DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge)plasma process with PCHP(plasma catalysis hybrid process) by gaseous ammonia, formaldehyde and acetic acid. Plasma only process by acetic acid obtained higher treatment efficiency above 90%, and PCHP reached its efficiency up to 96%. Acetic acid is relatively easy pollutant to control its concentration other than sulfur and nitrogen odor compounds, because it has tendency to react with water quickly. To test of the performance of DBD plasma process by applied voltage, the tests were conducted to find the dependence of experimental conditions of the applied voltage at 13 kV and 15 kV separately. With an applied voltage at 15 kV, the treatment efficiency was achieved to more higher than 13 kV from 83% to 99% on ammonia, formaldehyde and acetic acid. It seems to the odor treatment efficiency depends on the applied voltage, temperature, humidity and chemical bonding of odors.

In this study those currently operating pyrolysis oil plant were selected for the investigation. The yield of the oil andfuel was assessed for its use as fuel and the char component analysis, and the reaction time to collect contaminantscollected and analyzed. As the result, about 40% of the oil was yielded and oil could be used as an alternative fuel. Char’sleaching test analysis result was satisfied with the landfill standard. And emission of Dioxin and pollutants was analyzed.The highest concentration of dioxin was 0.7347ng I-TEQ/Sm3. The result satisfied the requirement however the emissionconcentration was changed depending on the input Fuel. Therefore the appropriate pollution control facility should berequired.

In vitro 반추위 발효실험에 세신 및 발효 세신 추출물을 적용한 결과, 휘발성 지방산 생성량 대비 반추위 메탄 저감효과가 나타났다. 특히 반추위 미생물 활력 및 사료이용 효율을 대표할 수 있는 휘발성 지방산 생성효율에 대한 부정적 효과 없이, 오히려 휘발성지방산 생성효율을 향상시키면서 반추위 메탄 저감효과를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Seven tetracycline classes of antibiotics were treated using ultraviolet (UV) and UV/H2O2 oxidation. Two different UV lamps were used for the UV and UV/H2O2 oxidation. The performance of the UV oxidation was different depending on the lamp type. The medium pressure lamp showed better performance than the low pressure lamp. Combining the low pressure lamp with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) improved the removal performance substantially. The by-products formation of tetracycline by UV and UV/H2O2 were investigated. The protonated form ([1 + H]+) of tetracycline was m/z 445, reacted to yield almost exclusively two oxidation by-products by UV and UV/H2O2 oxidation. Their protonated forms of by-products were m/z 461 and m/z 477. The structures of tetracycline’s by-products in UV and UV/H2O2 system were similar.

This study was investigated twenty two hazardous chemicals compounds for effluents of nine sewage treatment plants (STPs) and one waste water treatment plant (WWTP) in the Nakdong Ri-ver Basin.

When the substances were calculated the average concentration at 10 points, the maximum average detection concentration was investigated at the Dalseocheon STP.

In this study we followed biofilm formation and development in a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter on pilot-scale during the 12 months of operation. GAC particles and water samples were sampled from four different depths (-5, -25, -50 and –90 cm from surface of GAC bed) and attached biomass were measured with adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) analysis and heterotrophic plate count (HPC) method. The attached biomass accumulated rapidly on the GAC particles of top layer throughout all levels in the filter during the 160 days (BV 23,000) of operation and maintained a steady-state afterward. During steady-state, biomass (ATP and HPC) concentrations of top layer in the BAC filer were 2.1 μg·ATP/g·GAC and 3.3×108 cells/g·GAC, and 85%, 83% and 99% of the influent total biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOCtotal), BDOCslow and BDOCrapid were removed, respectively. During steady-state process, biomass (ATP and HPC) concentrations of middle layer (-50 cm) and bottom layer (-90 cm) in the BAC filter were increased consistently. Biofilm development (growth rate) proceed highest rate in the top layer of filter (μATP = 0.73 day-1; μHPC = 1,74 day-1) and 78%∼87% slower in the bottom layer (μATP = 0.14 day-1; μHPC = 0.34 day-1). This study shows that the combination of different analytical methods allows detailed quantification of the microbiological activity in drinking water biofilter.

Seasonal and stational variation of SS and COD were investigated from February 2008 to December 2010 and the relationship between them was discussed. During three years monitoring, SS decreased significantly (46% decline) possibly due to the increase of precipitation and thereby resulting salinity drop. COD on average was the highest in 2009. SS was the highest in autumn and the lowest in winter, and over 72% of SS was FSS. While SS is high in the upper sampling stations of the bay with shallow water, COD values do not show any relationship to the geomorphological characteristics. CODins, which was defined as COD after filtration, ranged 56%(winter) ~ 44.6%(summer) and showed no correlation with SS. It indicates that high SS concentration is not necessarily related to the high CODins. The seasonal CODins/SS data, which can be interpreted as COD density in SS, shows that SS in winter contains the dense COD materials compared to the other seasons.

This study investigated the prospective increase in the amount of hazardous substances in packing containers. Thestudy's aim was to analyse phthalates, which are regulated for use in food containers in the EU, as well as four heavymetals (Pb, Cd, Hg, and Cr6+) regulated domestically and abroad. Furthermore, we endeavored to confirm the need foradditional regulations for packaging material by analysing PBDEs (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers), a brominated flameretardant that has recently become an issue because of its wide use in plastic packaging. The concentration of the heavymetal, namely Pb, Cd, Hg and Cr6+ in packaging material samples were in ranged from ND to 7.2mg/kg, ND to 0.47mg/kg, ND to 0.07mg/kg, and ND to 5.01mg/kg, respectively. With total concentration of the four heavy metals (ΣPb+Cd+Hg+Cr6+) ranging from ND to 9.14mg/kg, all samples were below the standard threshold (Σ 100mg/kg). Theconcentration of phthalates in packaging samples was less than the standard of all foreign nations of 0.1% (1,000mg/kg). In particular, DEHP, DEHA, and DBP were detected higher in smart phone cases than others; other materials werefound to be at similar levels. The concentration of PBDEs in packaging material samples was detected in the range ofND to 24.2mg/kg, thereby not exceeding the standard of WEEE and RoHS of 0.1% (1,000mg/kg) for electrical appliancesand electronics.

This paper presents the estimation of actual recyclable amounts and the evaluation of waste oil recycling processes atrecycling facilities using material flow analysis (MFA). The estimation of actual recycling rates through the processes ofwaste lubricating oils is a very important subject not only in the point of view oil recycling efficiency by energy conversionprocesses but also in the perspective of the recycling technology level. In this study, the recycling processes and recyclingrates of waste lubricating oil recycling facilities were evaluated by using a MFA approach, a total of 10 site visits anda total of 30 site questionnaires in Korea. The MFA methodology based on mass balance approach applied to identifythe inputs and outputs of waste oils during the recycling processes at waste oil recycling facilities. It is necessary todetermine the composition and flows of the input materials to be recycled and foreign substances in a waste recyclingfacility. A complete understanding of the waste flows in the processes along with the site visit and data surveys for therecycling facilities was required to develop a material flow for the processes and determine the process yield by differenttreatment methods (chemical distillation, vacuum distillation and high temperature pyrolysis). The results show that onaverage the process yields for chemical distillation, vacuum distillation, and high temperature pyrolysis were 89.9±7.7%,77.9±16.1%, and 57.9±9.3%, respectively. During the chemical distillation method, water in waste oils was a majorfraction (>50%), while the vacuum distillation method resulted oil large amounts of oil sludge produced during therecycling process. The process yields for different treatment methods depended upon several factors including the qualityof incoming waste oils, the type and operating conditions of recycling processes that are applied to. Based on the materialflow analysis in this study, the actual recycled amount of waste oil was estimated to be approximately 260,809 ton in 2011.

Removal efficiency of seven tetracycline antibiotic compounds showed 54%∼97% by GAC adsorption process (EBCT: 5∼30 min). The orders of removal efficiency by GAC adsorption were tetracycline, demeclocycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, doxytetracycline, meclocycline and minocycline. Removal efficiencies of seven tetracycline antibiotic compounds showed 1%∼61% by anthracite biofiltration process (EBCT: 5∼30 min). The highest biodegradable tetracycline antibiotic compound was minocycline, and the worst biodegradable tetracycline antibiotic compounds were oxytetracycline and demeclocycline.

There are many stringent environmental regulations on the management of waste electrical and electronic equipments(WEEE) in most developed countries. WEEE directive aims at increasing collection and recycling rate of WEEE whereas,while the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) aims at restricting hazardous materials duringthe production of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). TV housing rear covers consist of small portion of brominatedflame retardants (BFRs). Improper management and disposal of such waste can pose impacts on the environment andhuman health. In Korea, there are very few available statistical data regarding BFRs levels in TVs housing rear covers.In order to provide additional measures related to management of BFRs, there is a need for a quantitative material flowstudy on the amount of BFR found in TVs. This can be achieved by the aid of material flow analysis of the TV setsand by studying the Deca-BDE components present in the TV housing read covers. In this study, the relevant data werecollected from the statistical reports and through field site visits to the WEEE recycling facilities with surveys. Staticand dynamic material flow analysis (MFA) was conducted to determine material flow of BFRs (Deca-BDE) in themanagement of waste TVs. According to this study, in 2011, households in Korea use 73,821ton of TV sets of which23,592ton of waste TV sets were collected and recycled by municipalities and producers. Extended ProducerResponsibility (EPR) played a major role in recycling of WEEE. In this study, it was predicted that Deca-BDE in usestage would reach down to 51.73ton by 2016. In addition, the amount of Deca-BDE present at the disposal and recyclingstage is estimated to be approximately 2.45ton by 2018.

Daidzein 함량은 모든 시험품종에서 genistein과 total isoflavone 함량은 청자3호를 제외한 시험품종에서 파종이 늦어질수록 증가하는 경향이었다. 반면에 glycitein 함량은 다원콩을 제외한 시험품종에서 파종기간 유의차가 없었다. 2. Cyanidin-3-glucoside(C3G) 함량은 다원콩과 청자3호, delphinidin-3-glucoside(D3G)와 total anthocyanin 함량은 다원콩에서만 파종이 늦어질수록 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러나 pelargonidin-3-glucoside(Pg3G)와 petunidin-3-glucoside(Pt3G) 함량은 파종기간 유의차가 없었다. 3. 청자3호의 lutein 함량은 파종기에 따라 2.7～3.0 μg/g로 유의차가 없었고, chlorophyll 함량은 파종이 늦어짐에 따라 증가하여 6월 30일과 7월 15일 파종에서 유의하게 많았다. 4. 조지방 함량은 태광콩과 청자3호는 조기에 파종할 때 많았고 기타 시험품종은 파종기간 유의차가 없었다. Palmitic acid 조성비는 대부분 시험품종에서 파종기의 영향을 받지 않았다. Stearic acid 조성비는 새올콩, 다원콩, 청자3호에서 파종이 늦을수록 증가하였다. Oleic acid, linoleic acid 조성비는 새올콩에서만 파종기가 빠를수록 유의하게 높았다.

비점오염은 점오염과 달리 불특정 배출경로를 가지며 유출량의 예측 및 정량화가 어렵다. 또한 비점오염물질이 수계로 유입 될 경우 수질의 악화를 초래한다. 이에 정부는 비점오염원을 관리하고자 비점오염저감시설 개발, 연구 및 설치를 지속적으로 시행하고 있다. 하지만 기존 비점오염저감시설의 경우 충분한 자료를 토대로 설치되지 않아 추가적인 연구 및 보완이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 식생수로에서 강우 시 발생되는 부유물질 및 유기물 저감효율을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법으로는 대상지역에서의 강우 모니터링을 통해 비점오염저감시설의 자연형 장치인 식생수로에서의 EMC를 통계분석하고 ER 방법 및 SOL 방법을 이용하여 오염물질 저감효율을 산정하였다. EMC 결과 값은 TSS는 유입 27.62 ∼ 98.08mg/L, 유출 13.96 ∼ 220.12mg/L, COD는 유입 13.61mg/L ∼ 31.83mg/L, 유출 5.69 ∼ 11.34mg/L, BOD는 유입 2.58 ∼ 11.70mg/L, 유출 0.59 ∼ 6.65mg/L의 범위를 보였다. 저감효율 산정 값은 ER 방법과 SOL 방법에 대해 각각 TSS는 49%, 83% COD는 72%, 82% BOD는 71%, 76%로 나타났다. 상대적으로 낮은 유출부의 EMC 범위와 평균 70% 이상의 저감효율 산정 값을 통해 식생수로가 강우 시 발생되는 오염물질에 대해 높은 저감효과를 가진다고 판단된다.

최근 수계에 심각한 악영향을 미치는 비점오염원에 대한 정부의 관심이 대두되고 있다. 비점오염물질은 배출경로가 불명확하며, 배출량 또한 측정하기가 어려워 처리하기 또한 곤란하다. 이러한 비점오염물질 제거를 위하여 비점오염저감시설을 개발 및 설치하고 있다. 하지만 비점오염저감시설 설치 시 대상유역에 대한 연구가 미비하여 명확한 저감효율을 판단하기가 어렵다. 본 연구의 목적은 비점오염물질에 따른 저감시설의 효율을 파악함에 있다. 2년간 총 8회의 강우 모니터링을 통하여 경기도 용인시 경안천 유역에 설치 된 비점오염저감시설 중 식생형 시설인 식생여과대의 저감 효율을 ER(Efficiency Ratio) 방법을 이용하여 산정하였다. 모든 시료는 BOD, COD, TN, TP 항목에대해 수질오염공정시험법에 의거하여 분석하였다. 2012년에서의 저감효율은 각각 36%, 37%, 55%, 44%, 2013년에는 63%, 56%, 48%, 67%로 나타났다. 2년간 각 항목별 저감효율 평균값은 50%, 46%, 52% 56%로 영양염류의 제거효율이 유기물의 제거효율보다 높은 수치를 보였다. 결과적으로 경안천유역 비점오염저감시설 중 식생여과대는 영양염류의 제거에 효율적이며, 저감기능 향상을 위해 지속적인 관리와 연구가 필요하다.
