묵은 김치의 높은 염도와 장기간 저장에 따른 단점을 해소하기 위해 염도와 발효온도를 다르게 하여 제조한 김치를 단기간 숙성하여 묵은 김치의 독특한 풍미와 조직감을 유지하는 묵은 김치 숙성방법의 기초를 제공하고자 하였다. 묵은 김치의 염도 변화는 발효 후 저장 0주차에 증가하였다가 이후 저장기간 동안 유의적으로 감소하였고(p<0.05), 시료의 초기염도에 따라 저장기간 중 염도 변화가 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 발효온도에 따른 차이는 저장 6주차까지 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 저장 12주차에는 1.6% 염도의 경우 12℃에서 발효한 시료가 18℃의 시료보다 높은 염도를 나타냈고, 2.4% 염도의 시료와 3.2% 염도의 시료에서는 발효온도가 낮을수록 염도의 감소 속도가 빨랐다. pH는 발효 후 저장 0주차에 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 염도가 높을수록 pH가 비교적 높게 나타났고, 저장기간이 늘어남에 따라 발효온도가 높을수록 pH의 값이 높게 나타났다. 산도는 발효 후 저장 0주차에 유의적으로 증가한 뒤 염도와 발효온도에 따라 변화하였다. 산도는 염도가 낮을수록 유의적으로 높은 산도를 나타냈고, 발효온도에 따른 산도의 변화는 발효 후 저장 0주차 때 발효온도가 높을수록 산도가 높게 나타났지만, 저장기간 중 발효온도에 따른 산도는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다(p<0.001). 경도는 발효 후 저장 0주차에 감소한 뒤 염도와 발효온도에 따라 변화하였고(p<0.05), 저장 6주차까지 3.2% 염도의 시료에서 경도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 두께의 변화는 저장기간과 염도에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았고, 발효온도에 따라 12℃에서 발효한 시료보다 18℃에서 발효한 시료에서 두께의 값이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 총균수는 발효 후 저장 0주차에 유의적으로 증가하여 7.18~8.89 logCFU/mL 사이의 높은 값을 나타냈고, 이후 저장기간에 따라 감소하였다(p<0.001). 염도에 따른 총균수는 H시료에서 가장 높았고, 발효온도에 따른 총균수의 차이는 발효 후 저장 0주차에 12℃에서 발효한 시료가 높은 값을 나타냈지만, 이후 저장기간 동안 18℃에서 발효한 시료에서 높은 값을 보였다.

The aim of this paper is to compare the characteristics of the T-P removal from synthesized municipal wastewater by electro-coagulation using cylindrical Al and Fe electrode as anode. For this purpose, a concentric circle type electrolysis reactor was used and the operating conditions for T-P removal from synthesized wastewater are as follows; potential 10 V, electrolyte 0.03% NaCl, initial T-P concentration 1.0 ~ 6.0 mg/L and flow rate 1.0 ~ 5.0 L/min. From the experimental results, T-P concentration of treated wastewater was decreased to less than 0.2 mg/L enough to discharge standard and Al electrode showed performance than Fe electrode for T-P removal by electro-coagulation. Optimal conditions for T-P removal to less than 0.15 mg/L which is 75% of discharge standard for large scale municipal wastewater plant (capacity higher than 500 m3/day) were obtained as follows; flow rate 2.503 L/min, and 2.337 L/min, HRT 1.059 min, 1.134 min, for Al and Fe electrode, respectively. Consumed mass of Al and Fe were of 3.76 times and 8.90 times respectively, were obtained to removed T-P at optimal conditions with potential 10 V, and 0.03% NaCl as electrolyte.

The characteristics of phosphorus removal from the wastewater containing high concentrations of PO43− and NH4+ bystruvite formation in a jet loop crystallizer was investigated. By adding air into the jet loop crystallizer, the initial pH ofthe wastewater (pH=7.2) was gradually increased to 8.0 due to the CO2 stripping. As a result, the amount of causticchemicals added to maintain a desired level of operational pH of 8.5 could be reduced. The molar ratio of Mg:P in thewastewater used was always below 1. Therefore, the magnesium concentration was the limiting factor for struviteformation. To find the effective magnesium source, MgCl2, MgSO4, MgO, MgO+MgCl2, and MgO+MgSO4 were usedas a magnesium source. Among these chemicals, MgO+MgSO4 was the most effective in saving the operational cost.Throughout the experiments, a high percentage (89%) of phosphorus removal was achieved when MgCl2 was used asan Mg source. The removal efficiencies of phosphorus in the jet loop crystallizer with aeration were higher than thosein the crystallizer without aeration.

This study was carried out to develop pilot plant Net3FM(Net Fit Fiber Filter Module) system and to suggest optimum operating condition for municipal wastewater reuse. SS concentration of biologically treated sewage effluent was reduced from 1.5~5.4mg/L to 0.4~1.0mg/L without coagulant injection in Net3FM system, and the SS removal efficiency was average 84.7%. And also, the removal efficiencies of COD and T-P were decreased slightly due to the SS removal by filtration. Coagulation-Filtration test was conducted to enhance the removal efficiencies of SS and T-P. The optimum dosage of coagulant was injected automatically by auto-controlling system, which is controlled by detecting value of turbidity of secondary sewage effluent. SS, COD and T-P concentrations in filtrated effluent were 0.21~0.57, 1.6~6.2 and 0.137~0.392mg/L with coagulant injection by in-line mixer in Net3FM system, respectively. The removal efficiencies of SS and T-P were highly increased to 92.8% and 89.8%, respectively. It was due to the combined the processes of coagulation and filtration. Net3FM system was evaluated that the removal efficiency of pollutants in secondary sewage effluent and the utilization potential as reclaimed water technology were very high.

To acquire preliminary data for the control of total nitrogen (TN) in S sewage treatment plant, which processes merging food waste and sewage, the effect of reject water on the total nitrogen in the effluent was examined in this study. Water quality data for the plant during the winter period were applied to calculate the mass balance. It was calculated that at least more than 231 kg/d TN should be removed to control the TN concentration in the effluent. Assuming 18 ppm as the goal TN concentration in the effluent, about 941 kg/d TN should be removed from this plant. Approximately 10% more TN should be removed than at present to achieve this result. It was observed that dewatering the filtrate had a considerably greater effect on the total nitrogen in the effluent than the reject waters. The dewatered filtrate contained 1,399kg/d TN. The contribution of the dewatered filtrate to the TN concentration in the effluent was 0.183, which was 7 to 23 times greater than the other reject waters. In addition, the amount of total nitrogen from the reject water, with the exception of the dewatering filtrate, was lower than the amount of TN that should be removed from S sewage treatment plant. Therefore, it was concluded that one of the most effective methods for controlling the TN concentration in effluent was the removal of the TN contained in the dewatering filtrate.

Emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were investigated in the flue gas emitted from wood drying process for plywood manufacturing. The moisture content of raw timber was average 48%, and its density was 831.55 kg/m3. But the moisture content of dried wood is needed less than around 10%, thus the moisture contents of flue gas should be remarkably high(about 18.2 V/V%). Therefore, the vapor in flue gas is equivalent to 320 ton-vapor/day when 1100 ton-wood/day is treated in the wood drying process. The temperature of flue gas ranges from 140℃ to 150℃ in each dryer stack with exception of the input site of wood(about 110℃). The velocity of flue gas in each stack ranges from 1.7 to 9.7 m/sec. In order to assess the concentrations and attribution rate of odorous compounds, it was analyzed about 40 VOCs in the flue gases. It was found that the major odorous compounds were 8 compounds, and the concentrations of major VOCs(ppm) were as follows; benzene: 0.054～0.052, toluene: 1.011～2.547, ethylbenzene: 0.472～2.023, m,p-xylene: 0.504～3.245, styrene: 0.015～0.148, o-xylene : 0.271～1.097, ethanol: 11.2～32.5, α-pinene: 0.908～10.578, β-pinene: 0.982～14.278. The attribution rate of terpenes (α-pinene, β-pinene) was about 60.56%, and that of aromatics and alcohols was about 22.77%, and 16.67%, respectively. It is suggested that the adequate control device should be used to control both the water soluble and non-soluble compounds because both compounds were mixed in flue gas.
