This study assessed the removal efficiency of NOM which is known as the precursors of DBPs in advanced water treatment using the ceramic membrane filtration, introduced the first in the nation at the Y water treatment plant (WTP). It is generally well-known that the removal of NOM by MF Membrane is very low in water treatment process. But, the result of investigation on removal efficiency of NOM in advanced water treatment using the ceramic membrane was different as follows. The removal rate of organic contaminant by the ceramic membrane advanced water treatment was determined to be 65.5% for the DOC, 85.8% for UV254, and 77 to 86% for DBPFP. The removal rate of pre-ozonation was found to be 6 to 15% more effective compared with the pre-chlorination. The removal rate of DOC and UV254 in biological activated carbon(BAC) process was over 50% and 75%, respectively although the rate was decreased 10 ~ 20% according to analysis items in converting from GAC to BAC.

본 연구는 국내 최초로 도입된 Y 정수장의 세라믹막 고도정수처리를 위한 최적 운영 인자를 도출하기 위하여 수행되었다. 경제성과 수질조건을 만족하면서도 세라믹막 여과성능을 지속⋅유지할 수 있는 최적 운영조건을 도출한 결과, Y 정수장의 평상시 수질 조건에서 막역세척으로 인한 배출수 발생량을 최소화시키면서도 막여과성능을 유지할 수 있는 최적 여과지속시간(역세척 주기)은 시설용량(16,000 m3/일) 기준 시 4.0시간으로 조사되었다. 또한 화학세척(CIP)에 따른 막차압 회복력을 조사한 결과, 구연산을 이용한 산세정을 통하여 철, 망간, 알루미늄 등의 막 파울링을 일으키는 무기오염물질은 제거되지만 막 회복률은 낮았다. 반면 차아염소산나트륨을 사용한 알칼리 세정을 통해서는 막 운영 초기 막차압으로 회복되는 것으로 나타났다. 막차압을 발생시키는 파울링 주요 원인물질은 친수성 고분자 유기오염물인 polysaccharides로 조사되었으며, 화학세척(CIP)시 막성능 회복률은 세척약품 온도에 의한 영향이 매우 크며, 온도가 높은수록 막성능 회복률이 향상되는 것으로 조사되었다.

TWINSPAN 분석을 통하여 4개 서식처 유형별 종 조성을 비교한 결과, 3개 서식처(묵논습지, 자연형 저수지, 산림계곡)는 뚜렷한 종 조성 차이를 보였으나, 자연하천은 뚜렷한 종 조성 차이를 보이지 않았다. 서식처 유형별 우점종과 아우점종은 고추좀잠자리와 깃동잠자리가 대부분이었으나 등줄실잠자리, 산잠자리, 왕잠자리 등은 서식처 차이를 보였다. 서식처 유형별 종다양성지수는 묵논습지, 자연하천, 자연형 저수지에서 통계적으로 차이가 없었으며 산림계곡은 낮았다. 서식처 유형별 잠자리 산란유형은 묵논습지가 가장 다양하였으며, 식물체에 산란하는 잠자리 종류가 가장 많아 습생식물이 잠자리 풍부도에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다. 회귀분석을 통하여 종간관계를 분석한 결과, 고추잠자리와 밀잠자리, 고추잠자리와 방울실잠자리, 배치레잠자리와 애기좀잠자리가 정의 상관관계를 보였으며, 상관관계가 높은 종간에도 선호하는 서식처에 차이가 존재하였다.

The mother machine makes the necessary shape by processing materials such as metal. The SCFs are applied to the processing surface when the mother machine processes the material, thereby improving the cutting conditions. SCFs contain high concentrations of organic components and nitrogen compounds, which can cause problems such as eutrophication and algae bloom. Therefore, proper treatment is required. Electrochemical treatment is expected to be an alternative to conventional processes, and to be useful in various wastewater treatments. Moreover, it is an efficient elimination technique for contaminants and has a simple equipment composition. In this study, the removal efficiency of the T-N contained in the waste SCF using electrochemical treatment is analyzed. The electrode was made of titanium and iridium, made into a perforated metal sheet to prevent an imbalance of the sample concentration in the reactor. Experiments were conducted to examine the effects of current density and the concentration of the supporting electrolyte (NaCl, Na2SO4) on removal efficiency. In the cases with 60 A/m2, 80 A/m2, and 100 A/m2 current densities, the removal efficiencies of the T-N contained in the waste SCF were 51.03%, 68.83%, and 79.58%. Comparing between the addition and non-addition of NaCl, the removal efficiency with the addition of NaCl (5 ~ 10 mM) was higher than for no addition at 60 min for all current densities. The addition of Na2SO4 increased the removal rate of the T-N, but it was less effective than NaCl addition.

As industry continues to develop, the amount of various recalcitrant substances that cannot be removed by conventional wastewater treatment has increased in modern society. The SCFs (Soluble Cutting Fluids) used in metalworking processes contain many chemical substances, such as mineral oils, anticorrosive agents, extreme-pressure additives and stabilizers, as well as high concentrations of organics. Recently, electrolysis has been expected to become an alternative to conventional processes and to be useful in various wastewater treatments. Electrolysis is a highly adaptable industrial wastewater treatment method, having a high efficiency, short processing time, and simple equipment composition, regardless of the biodegradable nature of the contaminants. The effects of operating time, current density, and electrolyte on COD removal of waste SCFs have been studied using the stainless steel (SUS316) electrode in a batch type reactor. The results were as follows. ① Without electrolytes, when the current density was adjusted to 40 A/m2, 60 A/m2, and 80 A/m2, the removal efficiencies of the COD were 25.0%, 37.7%, and 49.1% after 60 min, respectively. ② In the comparison between NaCl (5 ~ 10 mM) addition and non-addition, the removal efficiency with NaCl was higher than for without after 60 min for all current densities. ③ In the comparison between Na2SO4 (5 ~ 10 mM) addition and nonaddition, the removal efficiency with Na2SO4 showed no significant difference to that with NaCl at all current densities.

화석에너지 자원 고갈 및 경제발전에 따른 산업화가 가속화되면서 폐기물의 발생량이 지속적으로 증가하여 폐기물 에너지화 기술에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 공정상에 발생하는 폐기물 중에서 특히, 메탄올의 경우에는 분리가 쉬우며 저장성이 용이하고 연료전지 사용 및 수소에너지로의 변환이 용이하므로 많은 전원장치에서 응용이 가능하다. 공정상에서 비상전원의 경우에는 배터리 또는 연료전지를 이용하게 된다. 이때 PEM 연료전지를 이용할 경우 배터리에 비해 에너지 밀도가 현저히 높기 때문에 장시간 비상전원 공급이 가능하다. 메탄올의 경우에는 다른 폐기물에 비해서 높은 수소 : 탄소 비를 가지며 낮은 끓는점을 가지면서 공정 폐기물에서 쉽게 추출할 수 있으며 저장하는데 별도의 장치가 필요 없고 또한 낮은 온도에서 간단한 조건에서 쉽게 개질이 가능하므로 연료전지 시스템에 적용이 용이하다. 본 연구에서는 공정상 추출한 메탄올을 비상전원장치의 연료로 사용한 PEM 연료전지에 적용이 가능한 메탄올 개질 반응에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 수소를 생산하는 개질반응에는 열분해 반응, 수증기 개질 반응, 부분 산화 반응 및 수증기 개질 반응 및 부분 산화 반응의 조합으로 이루어진 자열 개질 반응이 존재한다. 4가지의 개질반응에 대한 각각의 실험을 수행하여 비상전원시스템으로의 적합성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 비상전원시스템의 경우에는 구조가 간단하고 부가 장치가 적을수록 가공, 제작 및 장치 구동 면에서 유리하고 또한 성공적인 비상 PEM 연료전지 구동을 위한 수소 생산을 위해서는 연료 개질 시스템은 복잡하게 구성되며 연료전지의 구동 온도가 낮을수록 더 많은 과정을 거치게 된다. 비상전원시스템에서 동적 부하 변동에 빠른 응답성을 가지며 동시에 메탄올에 대해서 비교적 안정적인 운전이 가능하며 외부 열원의 사용을 최소화 할 수 있는 개질 반응 연구를 수행하였다. 다양한 개질 반응에 대한 수소 발생률 및 BOP(Balance of Plant)의 비교 검증을 통하여 비상전원시스템에 가장 적합한 개질 반응에 대한 선택을 하였으며 선택된 개질 반응을 이용하여 비상 PEM 연료전지 전원장치 시스템에 적용시켰다. 이는 비상 PEM 연료전지 전원장치 뿐만 아니라 다양한 연료 처리 장치에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, pressure drop was measured in the pulse jet bag filter without venturi on which 16 numbers of filter bags (Ø140 × 850 ℓ) are installed according to operation condition(filtration velocity, inlet dust concentration, pulse pressure, and pulse interval) using coke dust from steel mill. The obtained 180 pressure drop test data were used to predict pressure drop with multiple regression model so that pressure drop data can be used for effective operation condition and as basic data for economical design. The prediction results showed that when filtration velocity was increased by 1%, pressure drop was increased by 2.2% which indicated that filtration velocity among operation condition was attributed on the pressure drop the most. Pressure was dropped by 1.53% when pulse pressure was increased by 1% which also confirmed that pulse pressure was the major factor affecting on the pressure drop next to filtration velocity. Meanwhile, pressure drops were found increased by 0.3% and 0.37%, respectively when inlet dust concentration and pulse interval were increased by 1% implying that the effects of inlet dust concentration and pulse interval were less as compared with those changes of filtration velocity and pulse pressure. Therefore, the larger effect on the pressure drop the pulse jet bag filter was found in the order of filtration velocity(Vf), pulse pressure(Pp), inlet dust concentration(Ci), pulse interval(Pi). Also, the prediction result of filtration velocity, inlet dust concentration, pulse pressure, and pulse interval which showed the largest effect on the pressure drop indicated that stable operation can be executed with filtration velocity less than 1.5 m/min and inlet dust concentration less than 4 g/m3. However, it was regarded that pulse pressure and pulse interval need to be adjusted when inlet dust concentration is higher than 4 g/m3. When filtration velocity and pulse pressure were examined, operation was possible regardless of changes in pulse pressure if filtration velocity was at 1.5 m/min. If filtration velocity was increased to 2 m/min. operation would be possible only when pulse pressure was set at higher than 5.8 kgf/cm2. Also, the prediction result of pressure drop with filtration velocity and pulse interval showed that operation with pulse interval less than 50 sec. should be carried out under filtration velocity at 1.5 m/min. While, pulse interval should be set at lower than 11 sec. if filtration velocity was set at 2 m/min. Under the conditions of filtration velocity lower than 1 m/min and high pulse pressure higher than 7 kgf/cm2, though pressure drop would be less, in this case, economic feasibility would be low due to increased in installation and operation cost since scale of dust collection equipment becomes larger and life of filtration bag becomes shortened due to high pulse pressure.

The purpose of this study was to improve low digestibility in anaerobic digestion facility of the sewage treatment plant. To perform this research, sludge digestion and digestion gas purification facilities in sewage treatment plant was applied. In the result of this study, it was very effective for sludge reduction from the improvement of digestive efficiency. In addition, it was confirmed that high purity CH4 (methane) was produced. This results can be useful as basic data to improve the low digestibility in anaerobic digestion processes.

The result of a small electrostatic precipitator which is in order to decrease indoor air pollution for optimal efficiency was shown as follows. Although the closer distance between the discharge electrode and dust collecting electrode shows the better throughput efficiency by forming strong electrostatic Field, it does not have profound impact in case of optimal dust collecting area. G.P(gas passage) which is the distance from dust collecting electrode to dust collecting electrode is a crucial factor to decide dust collecting efficiency. The narrower distance of G.P shows the better throughput efficiency whereas it decreases when the distance is too narrow since sparks ensue by increasing the capacity of electrostatic charging system 5 mm regards as optimal efficiency in this experiment. Although the higher voltage shows the higher dust collecting efficiency overall, the experiment was not able to keep performing since the sparks which decrease dust collecting efficiency ensue over 40 kV. The efficient and safe voltage state is considered 3.6 kV in this experiment. The most crucial factor for dust collecting efficiency of an electrostatic precipitator which is in order to decrease indoor air pollution is applied voltage. In addition, optimal raw gas flow rate(2.4 m/sec) is more important factor than the excessive increase of dust collecting area.

We analyzed the amount of environmental loads, and the amount of energy consumption through life cycle assessment from a discharge stage to the ultimate disposal to municipal solid waste in Seoul. We carried out inventory analysis of the amount of environmental loads that made the object range collection, intermediate treatment, and the final treatment, and took into consideration each stage exceptions CO2 and NOx , the amount of SOx discharge, and energy consumption. We applied the data of an object model, and acquisition processed the scale of an object model suitably and applied to it to difficult data using the data of the Yokohama City incineration plant in Japan. The amount of environmental loads per 1ton of municipal waste were analyzed CO2 0.4C-ton, SOx 0.4kg and NOx 0.8kg. Moreover, the amount of energy consumption which is 2.4Gcal was computed.

An experimental research was conducted in order to study the treatability of municipal landfill leachate using a combined physio-chemical and biological treatment. The leachate was obtained from Nanjido landfill site in Seoul. Several sets of bench-scale sequencing batch reactor(SBR) and physio-chemical reactors were used as experimental apparatus. This experiment lasted for about 2 years. The results are as follows: 1. The characteristics of Nanjido landfill leachate were pH 7.4∼8.2, BOD 79∼450㎎/L, COD 998∼1460㎎/L, NH_3-N 1380∼3412㎎/L, T-P 2.6∼7.O㎎/L, color 890∼1992 unit, and heavy metals are a very small amount. 2. Either physio-chemical or biological treatment of Landfill leachate alone did not work well. So for the adequate treatment of leachate, it was necessary to deal with the physio-chemical pretreatment before biological treatment. And it was found that both electrolysis and ozone treatment are better pretreatments of leachate than others. 3. In this study, landfill leachate was effectively processed by two step : first by electrolysis pretreatment, and secondly by SBR treatment. Thus, the study showed considerable substrate removal of raw leachate, even though the rate of COD removal depended on HRT.

Leachate from municipal landfill site is known to be hard to treat because it commonly contains various toxic material and heavy metals. In addition, portions of biodegradable organic substances in leachate are decreasing in the course of wastes stabilization, which is one of the critical reason for inefficient biological treatment at the end stage of landfill site operation. So this study was conducted to examine the feasibility of municipal landfill leachate pretreatment using electrolysis. The optimum electrode combination was made. The optimum electrode combination was found to be lead and graphite.

An experimental research was conducted in order to study the treatability of leachate and a combined wastewater of municipal landfill leachate and municipal sewage. The landfill leachate was that of Nanjido landfill site, and the municipal sewage was obtained from Chungnang municipal sewage treatment plant of Seoul. Several sets of bench-scale sequencing batch reactor(SBR) were used as experimental apparatus. Specially investigated items in this experiment were the removal efficiency of substrate and the influence of the hydraulic retention time(HRT). The experiment lasted for about 8 months. The result are as follows ; 1) The characteristics of leachate were pH 7.4∼8.1, BOD 280∼450 ㎎/1, COD 1300∼1350 ㎎/l, T-N 2021∼2110 ㎎/l, T-P 2.7∼3.2 ㎎/l, Cl- 3540∼4085 ㎎/l, and heavy metals are a very small amount. And the characteristics of sewage were pH 6.9∼7.3, BOD 78.4∼129.3 ㎎/l, COD 121.2∼305.0 ㎎/l, T-N 14.9∼36.4 ㎎/l, T-P 1.3∼5.9 ㎎/l. 2) The treatability of leachate alone was not treat well. So for the good treatment of leachate, it w;is necessary to deal with the pretreatment before biological treatment and a combined treatment of municipal sewage. 3) The various contents of the leachate were 5%, 10%, 30%, and 50%, and the removal efficiency of COD was 86.0%, 82.8%, 60.6%, and 31.7%. The maximum content of the leachate which could be successfully treated by SBR in the combined treatment eas 10% of that of sewage.

In this study, we have investigated leaching characteristics of heavy metals and alkalinity centering around steel mill slags by several extraction methods, for the purpose of risk assessment that exert influence on environment and offer of the foundation data of reuse by slags. Korean standard method, U.S.EPA Extraction Procedure, alkalinity extraction test and 9 step sequential fractionation experiment by Miller et al. were carried out for investigating leachability of steel mill slags. As a result of this experiment, heavy metals were little detected and it was considered that alkalinity does not exert a bad effect around environment in slags with large particle size. By the result of 9 step fractionation experiment, heavy metal contents in slags were not plentiful, in addition, even comparatively plentiful contended heavy metals, for the most part, were likely to detained or bonded in silica matrix. Therefore, in case of slags with large particle size, it seems that leachability of heavy metals were next to impossible that is existed as a safety condition.
