반 건조 소화 하수슬러지와 폐플라스틱을 혼합하여 파일롯 규모(85.3kg/hr)의 연속식 저온 (510℃~530℃) 열분해 실험을 하였다. 실험결과 열분해가스 발생량은 투입물 건량의 최대 68.3%, 발열 량은 40.9 MJ/Nm3 이었으며, 연속식 열분해에 따른 외기 유입율이 19.6%이었다. 오일은 투입물 건량 의 4.2%가 발생하였고, 저위발열량은 32.5 MJ/kg 이었으며 시설부식 등을 일으킬 수 있는 황과 염소의 함량이 각각 0.2% 이상이었다. 투입물 건량의 27.5%가 발생한 탄화물의 저위 발열량은 10.2 MJ/kg 이 었고, 용출시험 결과 지정폐기물에 해당하지 않았다. 열분해가스의 연소 배가스는 일산화탄소, 황산화물, 시안화수소 등의 배출농도가 특히 높았고, 다이옥신 (PCDDs/DFs)은 0.034 ng-TEQ/Sm3 로서 법적 기 준치 이내였다. 건조 배가스 응축으로 발생한 폐수는 수질오염물질 47개 항목 중 총질소, n-H 추출물질, 시안 등의 고농도 항목이 많아 전처리 후 하수처리장 등에서의 병합처리 방식을 고려할 필요가 있었다.

최근 대두된 난분해성 미량오염물질은 일반적인 수처리 공법으로는 제거가 잘 되지 않고 수 ng/L 단위로도 수중생태계와 인간에게 독성을 나타내므로 반드시 처리가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CNT (Carbon nanotube)를 이용하여 중공사막을 제조한 후, 그것을 전극으로 사용하여 미량오염물질을 전기화학적으로 산화 제거하였다. SEM, BET, flux, conductivity 결과를 통해 전극의 특성을 분석하였다. BPA(bisphenol A), Sulfamethoxazole(SMX), N,N-Diethyl-metatoluamide(DEET) 3가지 물질을 제거 대상 미량오염물질로 선정하였고 CHM 산화극 내부로 오염물질이 포함된 물을 흘려 보내주었을 때 5분 만에 100%의 제거효율을 보였다.

In this study, we analyzed the concentration of cadmium and mercury in urine and lead in blood from 668 residents in the exposed and compared areas in Gwangyang-si and Yeosu-si, from July 2013 to December 2015. According to the lifestyle (past smoking, current smoking, passive smoking, drinking and exercise), the concentration of cadmium in urine was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Gwangyang. However, the concentration of cadmium in urine according to the lifestyle except drinking was higher in the exposed areas than in the compared areas in Yeosu. According to the past smoking and current smoking, the concentration of mercury in urine was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Gwangyang, but the passive smoking, drinking and exercise showed similar concentration levels both in the exposed and compared areas in Gwangyang. The concentration of mercury in urine according to the past smoking and current smoking was higher in the exposed areas than in the compared areas in Yeosu, but the concentration of mercury in urine according to the drinking and exercise was lower in the exposed areas than in the compared areas in Yeosu. According to the past smoking, the concentration of lead in blood showed similar concentration levels in the exposed and compared areas in Gwangyang, but regarding current and passive smoking, it was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Gwangyang. Especially, the concentration of lead in blood according to the drinking in Gwangyang showed statistically significant difference (p<0.05). The concentration of lead in blood according to the lifestyle was higher in the compared areas than in the exposed areas in Yeosu.

To estimate pollution sources in the watershed with various industries, the simulation of contamination route and distribution of 2-methyl-4,6-dinitriophenol(DNOC) were performed with a numerical model Hydro Geo Sphere. This study was performed calculations of the load using the measured concentration and simulated flow rate. And, the river was divided by the sampling sites at the mainstream, and the contribution rate at downstream sampling sites was calculated for each section. The results showed the concentration of the downstream sampling sites were decided by the concentration of upstream sites, and the contribution rates of the tributaries were calculated below 10%. The results also showed that the impact of the potential sources in Section 1(Geumho1 ~ Geumho2) and Section 5(Geumho5 ~ Geumho6) was larger than in the other area. In Section1 and Section5, It seemed to require detailed investigation.

In this study, we investigated influent and effluent water pollutants in 53 Public Sewage Treatment Works (PSTWs) where industrial wastewater or landfill leachate is combined four times for two years from 2014 to 2015. Also, we analyzed the characteristics of heavy metals and volatile organic carbons at influent and effluent of these PSTWs caused by sewage treatment combined with industrial wastewater or landfill leachate. As a result, six heavy metals such as barium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel and zinc, and four volatile organic carbons (VOCs) including phenols, di(2-)ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), formaldehyde and toluene were observed above detection limits in most of PSTWs. Also, it was revealed that six heavy metals such as hexavalent chromium, mercury, cadmium, chromium, nickel and selenium, and four VOCs including 1,1-dichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, naphthalene, and epichlorohydrin were observed more frequently according to precipitation. As a result of reviewing the monitoring data on “Water Quality Monitoring Networks” in lower watersheds of PSTWs, both heavy metals and VOCs were below detection limits, indicating that the effluent water had little influence on the watershed. Nevertheless for the better management of influent and effluent pollutants in PSTWs, it is necessary to establish the advanced management plans for water pollutants in PSTWs, which include a list of priority substances management, monitoring plans, and guidelines for industrial wastewater and landfill leachate combined in PSTWs.

물은 신체의 대부분을 구성하고 있는 기본 물질로서 생명유지의 필수 요소이다. 특히 WHO에서는 인류 건강유지의 1등 공신으로 깨끗한 물공급을 꼽고 있다. 우리나라는 산업화, 도심화를 통해 신규오염물질 발생이 증가하고 있으며 특히 먹는물의 경우 중금속 및 소독부산물 중심의 관리에서 난연제, 코팅제, 의 약물질 등 신규오염물질 관리에 주력하고 있다. 우리나라 먹는물 수질기준은 1963년 최초 도입된 이래 1984년, 1986년 개정 강화되었으며, 1995년 먹는물 관리법이 제정되었고 1997년 감시항목이 설정되 어 기준과 감시의 2원화된 관리체계가 유지되고 있다. 먹는물 수질기준은 외국 사례 도입방식에서 체계적 장기 모니터링을 통한 위해도 평가를 수행하여 기준을 강화하고 있으며 현재 60개 항목으로 확대 강화되었다.

In this study, a flat-type photocatalytic reactor is applied under solar irradiation for simultaneous treatment of target pollutants: reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and oxidation of EDCs (BPA, EE2, E2). An immobilized type of photocatalyst was fabricated to have self-grown nanotubes on its surface in order to overcome limitations of powdery photocatalyst. Moreover, Ti mesh form was chosen as substrate and modified to have both larger surface area and photocatalyst content. Ti mesh was anodized at 50V and 25°C for 30min in the mixed electrolytes (NH4F-H2O-C2H6O2) and annealed at 450°C for 2 hours in ambient oxygen to have anatase structure. Surface characterization was done with SEM and XRD methodologies. Fabricated NTT was applied to water treatment, and coexisting Cr(VI) and organics (EDCs) enhanced each other's reactions by scavenging holes and electrons and thus impeding recombination. Also, several experiments were conducted outdoor under direct sunlight and it was observed that both solar-tracking and applying modified photocatalyst were proven to enhance reaction efficiency.

장님마디톡토기는 토양생태계에서 오염물질의 독성영향을 평가하기 위한 국제 공인 표준시험종으로 제안되고 있다. 토양생태계 먹이사슬에서 중요한 역할을 수행하는 톡토기의 특성에 따라 다양한 연구가 시도되고 있으며, 더 민감한 독성영향 종말점이 제시되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 토양오염물질인 중금속의 생태독성영 향을 평가하기 위하여 장님마다톡토기의 도약능을 이용하였다. 장님마디톡토기는 표준시험법에 따라 중금속 오염토 양에 만성노출되었으며, 이후 생존개체를 수집하여 도약능 평가를 수행하였다. 톡토기의 도약은 일시적인 화학스트레 스를 이용하여 유도되었으며, 이를 회피하기 위한 운동능을 컴퓨터 프로그램을 통해 기록하여 평가하였다. 중금속 오염토양에 노출된 개체는 도약을 통한 회피 경로가 단순화되었으며, 도약 횟수와 길이가 중금속 농도에 따라 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다. 이는 중금속 오염토양에서 톡토기의 회피능력이 감소할 수 있음을 의미하며, 생태독성을 평가하기 위한 종말점이 될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

The indoor air quality of residences has been regulated by designating recommended standard levels of pollutants for newly built apartments. But as of yet, no related guideline has been established for dwellings that are already occupied. From a sociological viewpoint, the gap between the rich and poor has been gradually increasing with economic development, and this has extended to the diversification of house types and living environments. Specifically, people who have the lowest income levels may live in temporary houses such as vinyl greenhouses and shanty houses, and their living environment is mostly inadequate as a result. In this study, we surveyed the indoor air quality in normal and socially vulnerable houses after the occupation stage and tried to figure out the main factors influencing indoor air quality. Airborne fungi are detected more frequently in lower living standard houses. Put another way, the concentration of airborne bacteria and the volatile organic compound levels are much higher than in normal dwellings.

Pollutants removal and disinfection effect of secondary effluent from final settling tank of sewage treatment plant of W city were investigated in Loop Reactor using ordinary granular activated carbon(GAC) and GAC coated with silver nanoparticles. The results showed that the removal efficiency of CODMn, T-N and T-P using GAC with silver nanoparticles were higher than using the ordinary GAC. The removal efficiency of T-P using GAC with silver nanoparticles is 45.4% and that of T-P using ordinary GAC is 30.9% in the same case of the input amount of 20 g/L of GAC. The total califorms is reduced according to increasing input amount of GAC with silver nanoparticles and ordinary GAC. The disinfection efficiency of total coliforms in case of GAC with silver nanoparticles is much higher than that in case of ordinary GAC. For all experiments using the silver nanoparticles, the total coliforms is under 26 cfu/mL and this shows very excellent disinfection effect.

This study examined the occurrence and removals of 14 micropollutants in the influents and the treated effluent of each process in a WTP. 12 out of the 14 micropollutants were detected in the influent source waters and 11 compounds survived in the final effluent at ppt level. MPT showed the highest level in both the influent and effluent. There was a seasonal variation in the micropollutant level. Most of the removals of micropollutants occurred at the coagulation stage in the WTP. Our results indicate that the removal of micropollutants during lab scale experiment and at the WTP can be somewhat different, and the physicochemical properties are important parameters in the removal of micropollutants during the WTP.

Most contaminants found in drinking water have traditionally fallen into one of two categories — health effects; or aesthetic effects, for contaminants not affecting health but rather the taste, appearance or odor of drinking water. Emerging contaminants are a new category of water quality concerns for which evidence of health effects has not yet been established due in part to the trace levels at which these compounds are currently being detected. Thus it was decided that a separate testing standard should be developed for product testing purposes. NSF/ANSI 401: Emerging Contaminants/Incidental Compounds is an American national standard that verifies the ability of a water treatment device to reduce up to 15 of the emerging contaminants including some prescription/OTC drugs, new types of herbicides and pesticides and chemicals used as flame retardants and detergents that have been found at trace levels in drinking water.

도시 하수는 미량오염물질의 수환경 배출 주요 점오염원이며 인구증가 및 도시화로 향후 도시인근 수자원 수질에 미치는 영향이 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 규제측면에서는 그 위해성이 명확하고 대표성이 있으며 현실적 제거 목표 달성이 가능한 오염물질에 대하여 수질기준정립이 예상된다. 하수 유출수에서 미량오염물질 제거를 위한 산화 (오존, UV/H2O2), 흡착 (분말활성탄), 막분리 (NF, RO)) 세가지 공정에 대한 연구가 활발한데, 본 발표에서는 위와 같이 도시 수환경 미량오염물질 이슈와 초고도 하수 처리공정에 대해 살펴보겠다.

This study focused on evaluating the efficiency of the removal of non-point source pollution by Daecheong Lake Juwon Stream constructed wetlands. The constructed wetland system is a surface flow type designed in the year 2007 for purifying eutrophic water of Daecheong Lake Juwon Stream. The value of conductivity, suspended solids(SS), chemical oxygen demand using a potassium permanganate(CODMn), five-day biochemical oxygen demand(BOD5), total nitrogen(T-N), total phosphorous(T-P), and pH in inflow averaged 220.2, 2.46, 3.33, 1.34, 2.00, 0.04 mg/L and 7.24, respectively and in outflow averaged 227.9, 1.12, 3.34, 0.87, 1.16, 0.02 mg/L and 7.45, respectively. The average removal efficiency of constructed wetlands was 30 % for SS, 22 % for BOD5, 45 % for T-N and 31 % for T-P. The removal rates of SS, BOD5 and T-N in the spring, summer and autumn were higher than those in winter. The removal rate of T-P was not significant different in all seasons. The amounts of pollutants removal in the constructed wetlands were higher in the order of 3rd ‹ 2nd ‹ 1st wetland for SS and T-P, 2nd ‹ 3rd ‹ 1st wetland for BOD5 and T-N. Therefore, our findings suggest that the constructed wetlands could well treat the eutrophic Daecheong Lake Juwon Stream waters.
