The sewer systems of cities are considered an odor source. Especially, the public do not want a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) near their properties due to the emission of odor emanating from such sources, although they play an important role in urban development. Therefore, a number of researchers have tried to characterize sewer and WWTP odors and reduce their emissions. However, the majority of the odor research performed in Korea has focused mainly on the measurement of the sensory odor intensity and the 12 odorants defined in the Korean Odor Prevention Law. Only a few studies have been performed on identifying the mechanisms of odor generation from sewer and WWTPs. Without the correct knowledge of the odor generation mechanism of sewer systems, it is impossible to develop an appropriate odor control scheme. Therefore in this paper, the literature relating to research on the odors emitted from sewers and WWTPs has been reviewed. The information provided in this paper will be useful to other researchers interested in the emission of odors from sewer systems.

In this research, heavy metals and T-P removal characteristics of plated wastewater are derived using BPC(Break Point Chlorination) process. AA sedimentation pond outflow(Influence) was evaluated for the removal efficiency of heavy metal(Ni) and T-P at a reaction time of 25 minutes by NaOCl input volume(9, 11, 13 and 15 mL). In the case, the higher the NaOCl input volumes, the higher the ORP values were maintained and the higher the removal efficiency tended to be. On the other hand, T-P was judged to have a low relationship between the ORP value and the removal efficiency. In addition, the efficiency of removal heavy metals and T-P in the plated wastewater by injecting 10 mL, 15 mL, 20 mL and 25 mL NaOCl, increased as the amount of NaOCl injected increased, the amount of NaOH input for pH increased. It was found that suspended solid in effluence also increased. It was also observed that the color of the plating wastewater changed from yellowish green to green to charcoal gray to black as the amount of NaOCl injected increased. Treatment characteristics of the reaction time, the longer the reaction time with the substance to be treated after the input of NaOCl, the more the heavy metal removal efficiency tended to increase. Through XRF analysis of the sludge, the constituents in the sludge such as NaCNO, CNCl, Na3PO4, CrO4, 2Na2CrO4 and 2NaNO3 will be analyzed in detail, and the mechanisms of the reaction between the plated wastewater and the complex compound will be elucidated.
