This study was performed to obtain the emission characteristics of odor compounds generated from a livestock wastewater treatment process. The sampling of odor compounds was performed twice, on May 9th and June 14th 2006, at 4 and 5 sites in the boundary and source areas, respectively. The odor concentrations obtained from the air dilution sensory test ranged from 10 to 100 in the boundary area. Of the 5 source sites, the odor concentrations found at the pre-treatment building had the highest values, which were 14422 and 20800 for the first and second dates, respectively. To estimate the major odor compounds produced during a live wastewater process, the contributions of 12 odor compounds to the total odor were calculated from the concentration and odor threshold values of each compound. At the pre-treatment building and outlet of the activated carbon tower of the source sites, the contribution of sulfur compounds to the odor was 97%, and at the outlet of the biofilter that of NH₃ was 90%. The order of the contribution to the odor in the boundary area sites was; from highest to lowest: H₂S, C₂H₆S, i-C₅H10O, C₃H₉N, NH₃. The correlation coefficient between the theoretical odor concentration from the odor threshold of 12 odor compounds and that obtained from the air dilution sensory test was 0.73. This result indicated a limit to the correct analysis of the odor concentration obtained from the air dilution sensory test when only 12 odorous compounds at a livestock wastewater treatment process are used. The odor removal efficiency of the deodorization facilities showed that for the activation carbon tower, the odor concentration was reduced to 4% and the contributions of H₂S, C₂H₆S and NH₃, which were estimated to be the major odor compounds, were reduced to 20, 26 and 11%, respectively. With respect to the bio-filter, the removal efficiency of the odor compounds revealed an odor concentration of 0% because the major odor compounds were calculated as negative percentages.

Numerical modeling was used to evaluate the submerging characteristics of the submersible fish cage system operated by compressed air. The submerging characteristics calculated by numerical analysis as the cage was moved up and down were nearly identical to existing experiment results. Thus, the numerical model proposed in this study could be very useful in analyzing various parameters required for optimizing the design of a submersible fish cage system operated by compressed air.

군위군 오이재배지역을 정밀토양도를 이용하여 토양특성을 조사하고, 군위군 노지 및 시설오이 재배지 토양의 물리화학적 특성을 조사하여, 연작과 관행적인 토양관리로 인하여 저하된 토양의 이화학적 특성을 오이재배에 적합한 토양으로 개량하기 위한 기초자료로 이용하고자 토양조사를 실시하였다. 조사지역은 군위군 군위읍 외랑리 오이재배단지로서 주요 토양통은 토양도에 나타난 단북통과 신정통이 가장 넓게 분포하였으며, 점토함량은 시설재배지내 토양의 경우 양토이었으며, 시설재배지의 외부 토양의 경우 23.8%로 높게 나타났다. 오이재배지 토양의 화학적 특성 결과에 대한 오이재배지 토양의 적정범위와 비교하여 보면 일반적인 화학적 성질에서 서는 유효 인산의 함량이 적정범위보다 높은 것을 알 수 있으며, 치환성 양이온 함량은 시설재배지의 외부토양은 적정범위에 속하나 시설재배지 내부토양은 모두 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 최상부 토양은 매우 높으나 10cm 이하는 깊이에 따라 뚜렷한 차이는 없었다. 오이 재배지 토양 중 중금속 함량은 모두 기준치보다 높게 나타났는데, 구리의 함량이 시설재배지가 노지재배지보다 높게 나타났다. 시설재배지의 경우는 다른 곳과 달리 표토 위에 부숙이 어려운 유기물의 과량투입에 따라 표토 위의 유기물 30% 이상의 유기물 층이 존재하여 모든 양분 성분이 매우 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 안정적인 생산을 위해서는 토양분석에 따른 토양관리법의 확립이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

한국원자력연구소 내 부지에 건설된 지하처분연구시설(KURT, KAERI Underground Research Tunnel)에 대한 기초적인 광물 풍화 및 지화학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 분석 대상 시료는 건설 과정중에 노출된 암석에 대해서 화학적 풍화에 따른 암석의 미시적인 변화를 현미경 및 화학성분 분석 등을 통해 관찰하였다. 풍화가 진행된 화강암의 경우 암석을 구성하고 있는 광물들 주변에 미세하고 작은 균열들이 발달하였다. 특히, 장석 광물의 풍화가 특징적으로 관찰되었고 광물 용해에 따른 Ca 성분의 선택적 용출 현상이 심하였다. 또한, 를 함유한 흑운모의 용해에 의한 성분의 용출에 의해 주변 광물의 미세균열에 이차생성물로 철산화물 침전이 두드러졌다. 광물내부로 부터 발생된 미세균열은 풍화가 진행되면서 점차 그 규모가 커지고 grain boundary를 따라 매우 먼 거리까지 확장되는 특성을 보여 주었다. 신선한 암석 이 풍화됨에 따라 암석 내에 존재하거나 용출된 화학 성분들은 이러한 미세 균열들을 통해 새로운 이차광물 생성에 관여하거나 그들과 상호 반응하면서 이동하는 것으로 추정된다.

The emission concentrations of VOC and various odorous compounds were measured from different indoor process units located in 19 companies at the Ban Wall industrial complex from Jun. 2004 to Jan. 2005. The purpose of this study was to investigate the indoor pollution levels of various industrial facilities with respect to bothmalodorous compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOC). We also intended to build the database under the conditions affected by various anthropogenic processes with an aid of a statistical treatment. The three samplingmethods and five analytical techniques were applied tomeasure the sum of up to 32 individual compounds. According to this study, we were able to identify the importance ofmajormalodor compounds which include carbonyl compounds, reduced sulfur compounds, ammonia and trimethylamine. On the other hand, relative contribution of VOC as sources ofmalodor was ofminor significance except such compound as toluene. The overall results of this study thus indicate that the concentration levels of VOC in themanufacturing facilities are high enough to affect indoor laboring conditions.

Odor emission characteristics of unit processes in 10 livestock farms and 3 manure treatment facilities in Kyonggi province were examined in terms of odorous compound concentration and dilution ratio values of the threshold limit measured by instrumental analysis and air dilution sensory test, respectively. The highest odor concentration was detected at the compositing process unit of each facility and the dilution ratio showed high correlation with the treatment capacity as well as hygiene of the facility. Odor intensities in some facilities showed severe fluctuations (10 to 27 times difference) in response to the wind speed and direction as well as other weather conditions. According to the instrumental analysis, the major odorous compounds in the research area appeared to be ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, trimethyl amine, acetaldehyde and carbonyl compounds. Although some facilities breed same livestock, the types of odorous compounds as well as their concentration profiles were dependent on the type of composting process and management skill. In addition, dilution ratio of the threshold limit did not always show positive correlation with the odorous compound concentrations, which indicates the necessity of applying both methodologies, sensory test, and instrumental analysis.

Analysis of design parameters of residual treatment process at eight model water treatment plants, which were located in the four major watersheds, showed that there were large differences between those design parameters and the actual conditions. In this background, a new procedure was proposed and applied to the Chungju water treatment plant as an example of the optimum design of residual treatment process based on the characteristics of raw water. In this design example, a filter backwash recycle system consisting of a surging tank and sedimentation basin was newly proposed for more safe recycle of spent backwash water. It is expected that the design procedure proposed in this study would be estimated as a meaningful attempt to develope new design procedure for the domestic water industry.
