Excess nitrogen (N) flowing from livestock manure to water systems poses a serious threat to the natural environment. Thus, livestock wastewater management has recently drawn attention to this related field. This study first attempted to obtain the optimal conditions for the further volatilization of NH3 gas generated from pig wastewater by adjusting the amount of injected magnesia (MgO). At 0.8 wt.% of MgO (by pig wastewater weight), the volatility rate of NH3 increased to 75.5% after a day of aeration compared to untreated samples (pig wastewater itself). This phenomenon was attributed to increases in the pH of pig wastewater as MgO dissolved in it, increasing the volatilization efficiency of NH3. The initial pH of pig wastewater was 8.4, and the pH was 9.2 when MgO was added up to 0.8 wt.%. Second, the residual ammonia nitrogen (NH4 +-N) in pig wastewater was removed by precipitation in the form of struvite (NH4MgPO4·6H2O) by adjusting the pH after adding MgO and H3PO4. Struvite produced in the pig wastewater was identified by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. White precipitates began to form at pH 6, and the higher the pH, the lower the concentration of NH4 +-N in pig wastewater. Of the total 86.1% of NH4 +-N removed, 62.4% was achieved at pH 6, which was the highest removal rate. Furthermore, how struvite changes with pH was investigated. Under conditions of pH 11 or higher, the synthesized struvite was completely decomposed. The yield of struvite in the precipitate was determined to be between 68% and 84% through a variety of analyses.

기체투과막 기술을 이용하여 가축분뇨 폐기물 등으로부터 암모니아성 질소를 효과적으로 회수할 수 있다. 이는 폐기물 내 암모니아 기체가 폐기물에 함침된 기체투과막의 미세공극을 투과하여 막반대편에 도달하게 된다. 투과된 암모니아 기체분자는 막 반대편에 존재하는 용액 내 황산 등 산에 의해 포획 및 회수된다. 막 유입부 내 암모니아성 질소 제거 효과를 높이기 위해서는 우선 유입 폐기물 내 pH를 높게 유지해야 하는데 pH 상승에 필요한 염기성 약품 투입비용이 문제가 될 수 있다. 기존 연구에서는 보다 저렴한 소석회 투입하거나 폭기 혹은 질산화억제를 통해 높은 pH를 효과적으로 유지시키는 방 안이 거론되고 있다. 한편 암모니아성 질소 회수에 쓰이는 기체투과막의 재질은 적절한 내열성이나 내화학성 이외에도 소수 성을 띈다는 특징이 있으며 이를 통해 막기공을 통해 암모니아 기체를 선택적으로 투과시킬 수 있다. 향후 연구에서는 다양 한 성상을 가진 현장 폐기물을 이용하여 실증 Test를 수행하고 이를 기반으로 최적 설계/운전 조건 규명 및 경제성 제고 방안 을 수립하여야 한다.

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of NH3-N and nitrifying microorganisms on the increased BOD of downstream of the Yeongsan river in Gwangju. Water samples were collected periodically from the 13 sampling sites of rivers from April to October 2021 to monitor water qualities. In addition, the trends of nitrogenous biochemical oxygen demand (NBOD) and microbial clusters were analyzed by adding different NH3-N concentrations to the water samples. The monitoring results showed that NH3-N concentration in the Yeongsan river was 22 times increased after the inflow of discharged water from the Gwangju 1st public sewage treatment plant (G-1-PSTP). Increased NH3-N elevated NBOD levels through the nitrification process in the river, consequently, it would attribute to the increase of BOD in the Yeongsan river. Meanwhile, there was no proportional relation between NBOD and NH3-N concentrations. However, there was a significant difference in NBOD occurrence by sampling sites. Specifically, when 5 mg/L NH3-N was added, NBOD of the river sample showed 2-4 times higher values after the inflow of discharged water from G-1-PSTP. Therefore, it could be thought other factors such as microorganisms influence the elevated NBOD levels. Through next-generation sequencing analysis, nitrifying microorganisms such as Nitrosomonas, Nitroga, and Nitrospira (Genus) were detected in rivers samples, especially, the proportion of them was the highest in river samples after the inflow of discharged water from G-1-PSTP. These results indicated the effects of nitrifying microorganisms and NH3-N concentrations as important limiting factors on the increased NBOD levels in the rivers. Taken together, comprehensive strategies are needed not only to reduce the NH3-N concentration of discharged water but also to control discharged nitrifying microorganisms to effectively reduce the NBOD levels in the downstream of the Yeongsan river where discharged water from G-1-PSTP flows.

암모니아성 질소(NH4-N)는 산업 폐수, 농업 및 축산 폐수에 포함되어 있으며 인과 함께 수질의 부영양화를 일으 키는 물질로 잘 알려져 있다. 또한 망간(Mn)과 비소(As)는 광산 처리수 등에 포함되어 있으며, 수질 오염의 원인 물질로 알려져 있다. 천연 제올라이트는 수중에서 암모니아성 질소를 제거하는데 사용되고 있지만 낮은 흡착능력을 가진다. 이러한 천연 제올라이트의 낮은 흡착능력을 개선하기 위해 Na+, Ca2+, K+, Mg2+로 이온 치환을 진행하였다. 암모니아성 질소(NH4-N)의 흡착량과 제거율은 Na+로 이온 치환된 제올라이트에서 0.66 mg/g과 89.8%로 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 이온 치환된 제올라이트 를 이용하여 Mn과 As의 흡착실험을 진행하였다. Mg2+로 이온 치환된 제올라이트에서 Mn과 As의 높은 흡착량과 제거율을 보였다.

정삼투 여과막(FO) 기술 분야는 해수 담수화에서 이미 다양한 연구가 진행되었으나, 하폐수 처리 분야의 적용에서는 상대적으로 많은 연구가 필요한 상황이다. FO 기술은 비 다공성 특성막과 각 용액 사이의 삼투압 차이를 이용하여 원폐수로부터 수분을 비롯하여, 질소-인과 같은 이온성 물질까지 분리할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 FO 막을 혐기성 유동상 미생물반응기(AFBR)를 통해 처리된 처리수 내 존재하는 질소(주로 암모니아성 질소)를 제거하기 위해 적용되었다. 유도용액(Draw Solution, DS)의 종류(NaCl, CaCl2, Na2CO3)에 따라 투과량은 NaCl, CaCl2, Na2CO3 순으로 높게 나타났으며, 암모니아성 질소의 배제율은 각각 42.25%, 78.83%, 70.35%으로 나타났다.

The raw drinking water quality is getting worse because of the winter drought and the conventional treatment system is'nt suitable to obtain the satisfied quality of water. So, the advanced water system, BAC(Biological Activated Carbon) process is said to be effective to remove dissolved organics and ammonia nitrogen. In our study, the BAC pilot plant using Nak-dong river water is tested in low temperature. Following results are found from the study. The ammonia nitrogen removal rate of BAC system using wood-based carbon (PICABIOL) was 99% in $6^{\circ}C$ temperature. Chlorine dosage in wood-based BAC effluent was reduced to 67% of that in sand filtered wate. It resulted from the removal of ammonia nitrogen. Also, THM formed by chlorine addition in wood-based BAC effluent was decreased to 65% of that in sand filtered water. In the case of dual-filter, the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen was increased 30% more than in conventional sand filter. According to this result, the ammonia nitrogen load to BAC system could be lessened by the use of dual-filter.

The characteristics of ammonia-nitrogen (NH4 +-N) adsorption by a zeolitic material synthesized from Jeju scoria using the fusion and hydrothermal method was studied. The synthetic zeolitic material (Z-SA) was identified as a Na-A zeolite by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence analysis and scanning electron microscopy images. The adsorption of NH4 +-N using Jeju scoria and different types of zeolite such as the Z-SA, natural zeolite, and commercial pure zeolite (Na-A zeolite, Z-CS) was compared. The equilibrium of NH4 +-N adsorption was reached within 30 min for Z-SA and Z-CS, and after 60 min for Jeju scoria and natural zeolite. The adsorption capacity of NH4 +-N increased with approaching to neutral when pH was in the range of 3-7, but decreased above 7. The removal efficiency of NH4 +-N increased with increasing Z-SA dosage, however, its adsorption capacity decreased. For initial NH4 +-N concentrations of 10-200 mg/L at pH 7, the adsorption rate of NH4 +-N was well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model than the pseudo first-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm was well fitted by the Langmuir model. The maximum uptake of NH4 +-N obtained from the Langmuir model decreased in the order of Z-CS (46.8 mg/g) > Z-SA (31.3 mg/g) > natural zeolite (5.6 mg/g) > Jeju scoria (0.2 mg/g).

암모니아성 질소는 생활하수, 축산폐수, 산업폐수 등의 점오염원과 화학적 비료 남용에 의한 유출 등의 비점오염원으로부터 수계로 방류되어 부영양화 등의 수질 오염을 유발할 수 있다. 생활하수 등에서 암모니아성 질소를 제거하기 위해 생물학적 처리공정이 주로 적용되고 있으나 운영상의 어려움, 비점오염원 저감의 어려움으로 인하여 대체방안이 요구된다. 바이오차를 흡착제로 활용하는 방안은 적용이 간단하며 효율적으로 수중 암모니아를 제거하는 방안으로 주목받고 있다. 선행 연구에서는 대부분 암모니아성 질소 흡착을 NH4+ 양이온 흡착으로 설명하고 있으나 수중의 암모니아성 질소는 pH에 따라 NH4+와 NH3(aq)로 분배될 수 있어 적용 조건에 따라 두 화학종이 모두 흡착에 참여할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 화학종 분배를 함께 고려하는 것의 필요성을 검증하고자 하였다. 바이오차는 발생량이 많은 농업부산물인 볏짚을 300, 400, 500, 600℃ 네 가지 최고온도로 열분해하여 얻었다. 암모니아성 질소 용액은 NH4Cl을 이용하여 준비하였다. 이후 20℃에서 바이오차 투여량 5 g/L 조건으로 초기농도 10 ~ 500 mg/L 용액에 대하여 등온흡착실험을 진행하였다. 흡착반응속도실험은 20℃에서 투여량 5 g/L 조건으로 초기농도 50 mg/L에서 진행하였다. 바이오차 투여 이후 pH는 NH4+의 pKa인 9.25 부근까지 증가하여 NH3(aq)가 액상에 존재할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 등온흡착곡선은 BET 모형에 의해 설명되었기에 응축에 의한 다층 흡착이 진행되는 것을 확인하였다. NH4+만이 흡착에 참여할 경우 쿨롱 반발력에 의해 응축이 일어날 수 없다. NH3(aq)가 흡착에 참여한다면 극성 분자의 쌍극자모멘트 또는 약한 수소결합으로 부터 응축에 의한 다층 흡착을 설명할 수 있다. 반응속도 실험결과 300℃에서 제조한 바이오차에 의한 암모니아성 질소 흡착은 유사 1차 반응속도 모형으로부터 설명할 수 있어 NH4+ 흡착이 주요한 것으로 생각된다. 300℃보다 높은 온도에서 제조한 바이오차의 경우 Elovich’s Equation이 암모니아성 질소의 흡착반응속도를 더 잘 설명하여 흡착 메커니즘을 NH4+ 흡착으로 설명할 수 없었다. Elovich’s Equation은 분자 상 물질의 화학적 흡착을 설명하는 모형이므로 NH3(aq)이 흡착에 참여하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 바이오차에 의한 암모니아성 질소 흡착은 NH4+ 이온의 흡착뿐만 아니라 NH3(aq)의 흡착도 함께 고려해야 함을 확인하였다.

As industry continues to develop, the contents of various recalcitrant substances that are not removed by conventional wastewater treatment have increased in modern society. The metal working fluids (MWFs) used in the metal working process contain chemical substances, such as mineral oils, anticorrosive agents, extreme-pressure additives, and stabilizers, as well as high concentrations of organics and ammonia-nitrogen. Accordingly, MWFs are required to develop advanced treatments to conserve hydro-ecological resources. This study investigated the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen from MWFs according to operating time, applied voltage, and NaCl concentration using a Ti/IrO2 electrode in a batch-type reactor. The experimental results showed that ammonia-nitrogen removal efficiencies without NaCl were 89% and 92% when voltage was adjusted to 15 and 20 V for 60 min and removal efficiency was 90% at 25 V for 40 min. Removal efficiencies of 10 mM NaCl were 4% and 2% greater than those of not adding NaCl at 15 V for 50 min and 20 V for 30 min.

Generally, metal working fluids (MWFs) are used to reduce friction in metalworking processes. In addition to mineral oils, MWFs contain many chemical substances, such as anticorrosive agents, extreme-pressure additives, and stabilizers, as well as high concentrations of organics and ammonia nitrogen. Accordingly, MWFs must be managed to advanced treatment for hydro-ecological conservation. This study investigated the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen from MWFs according to operating time, applied voltage, distance between electrodes, and NaCl concentration using aluminum in a batch-type reactor. The experimental results were as follows: First, without NaCl, removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen were 69.6%, 37.9%, and 22.7%, when the distance between electrodes was adjusted to 1, 4, and 7 cm, respectively, at 15 V for 60 min. Secondly, without NaCl, removal efficiencies of ammonia nitrogen were 49.5 and 90.9% when the voltage was adjusted to 5 V and 10 V, respectively, for 60 min and 94.6% at 15 V for 40 min. Lastly, with the addition of NaCl 10 mM, the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen was 40.3% and 11.5% greater than that of no addition of NaCl at 5 V for 60 min and at 10 V for 30 min.

This research investigated the feasibility of rice husk as a biosorbent for removal of ammonium ion from aqueous solutions. To improve the sorption functionality of rice husk, the carboxyl groups were chemically bound to the surface of the rice husk by graft polymerization of acrylic acid using potassium peroxydisulphate as a redox initiator. The removal of ammonium ion by rice husk grafted with acrylic acid (RH-g-AA) was studied in a batch mode and fixed bed columns. The kinetic and equilibrium data obtained from batch experiments follow the second-order kinetics and fit well with the Langmuir isotherm model. The sorption energy determined from D-R model was 8.61 kJ/mol indicating an ion-exchange process as the primary sorption mechanism. To determine the characteristic parameters of the column useful for process design, four mathematical models; Bed Depth Service Time (BDST), Bohart-Adams, Clark and Wolborska models were applied to experimental data obtained from the fixed bed columns with varying bed heights. All models were found to be suitable for simulating the whole or a definite part of breakthrough curves, but the Wolborska model was the best. The fixed bed sorption capacity determined from the Wolborska model was in the range 33.3 ~ 40.5 mg/g close to the value determined in the batch process. The thickness of mass-transfer zone was calculated to be approximately 40 mm from DBST model. The RH-g-AA sorbent could be regenerated by a simple acid washing process without a serious lowering the sorption capacity or physical durability.

The efficiency of PP-g-AA and PP-g-St nonwoven fabric synthesized by photoinduced polymerization as an adsorbent for removal NH3-N from waste water was evaluated. The results evidently indicate that the adsorption capacities of NH3-N onto PP-g-AA nonwoven fabric were extremely superior to those onto sulfonated PP-g-St nonwoven fabric, PK and zeolite. PP-g-AA nonwoven fabric showed the maximum adsorption capacity of NH3-N at the degree of grafting of 80 wt.%. The adsorption behaviour of NH3-N onto PP-g-AA and sulfonated PP-g-St nonwoven fabric was controlled by an ion exchange reaction, and tended to be similar to both trends of Langmiur and Freundlish isotherm. Futhermore, PP-g-AA non-woven fabric could be regenerated more than 5 times by a simple washing with 0.1N HCl with no decrease of adsorption capacity and no degradation of physical properties. Also sulfonated PP-g-St nonwoven fabric could be regenerated by washing with 0.1N H2O4. However, their regeneration efficiency was significantly low because grafting layer acted as functional radical for adsorption was continuously desquamated in the adsorption or regeneration processes, which resulted in decrease of adsorption capacity and weight of adsorbent. All results obtained from this study indicate that the NH3-N removal capacity of PP-g-AA non-woven fabric was extremely superior to those of PP-g-St non-woven fabric, PK and zeolite.

As the concentration of ammonium nitrogen could be reached 2～3 mg/L in the winter in the river. It was clear that the excessive concentration of chlorinated organics could be produced with the increase of chlorine addition to remove ammonium nitrogen. In the innovative ammonium nitrogen removal process, zeolite adsorption is very efficient as substitute for rapid sand filtration without other adverse quality change in the water. This study is conducted to evaluate the feasibility of ammonium nitrogen removal and regeneration by zeolite adsorption in drinking water treatment. Also, the reuse possibility of zeolite is evaluated to change the removal efficiency of ammonium nitrogen through several times of regeneration. The ammonium nitrogen was not removed in sand filter, but it was almost removed in zeolite filter during 7 days. The sand and zeolite filters have a similar result of turbidity removal. Therefore, zeolite filtration was confirmed the removal of turbidity and ammonium nitrogen as a media. When compared KCl with NaCl as a chemical for zeolite regeneration, it is demonstrated that KCl was more efficient than NaCl in the ability of zeolite regeneration. The adsorption rate of ammonium nitrogen was almost not decreased in the results of several times of regeneration. It is indicated that both zeolite and regeneration solution were possible to reuse without variation of regeneration rate through this study.

겨울철에 금강하류에서는 암모니아성 질소(NH3-N) 농도가 주기적으로 높게 검출되어, 부여지점에서 취수하는 정수장의 수처리 공정에 큰 장애가 되고 있다. 질소농도 저하와 소독부산물 생성 억제를 위해 종종 대청댐의 추가 방류가 검토되고 있으나, 방류량과 직소농도 관계의 정량적 분석에 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 8년간의 일별 수질자료와 댐 방류량 자료를 이용하여 겨울철(12월∼3월) 동안 일별 NH3-N 농도를 예측할 수 있는 다중회귀모형을 개발하고,

The aim of this study is, firstly, to find out what kinds of inorganic species are produced in the photocatalytic oxidation of ammonium-nitrogen containing water and, secondly, to seek the influence of anion for the photocatalytic oxidation of ammonium contained compounds. The photoenergy above 3 eV(λ＜415 nm) was effectively absorbed by TiO2 and TiO2/polymer was used to be oxidized NH4-N in wastewater to NO3-N. Existing the anion as Cl-, the rate of photocatalytic oxidation decreased regardless of other condition. This result showed that the chloride ions reduced the rate of oxidation by scavenging oxidizing radical species as OH- and OCl-. Some of the added ion might have blocked the active sites of the catalyst surface, thus deactivated the catalyst.

This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of ammonia removal by zeolite adsorption in drinking water treatment. In generally, drinking water treatment process is conducted coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, sand filtration and disinfection. We tested feasibility with two method, one is powdered zeolite dosing to coagulation tank and the other is to substitute granular zeolite for sand of sand filter. In powdered zeolite test, raw water is used tap water with putting of 2mg/l of NH4+-N. Filtration of granular zeolite was conducted with 80cm of effective column high and 120m/d of flow rate. At above 100mg/l of zeolite dosage, ammonia concentration was decreased below 0.5mg/l of NH4+-N in powdered zeolite test. But, turbidity was increased to 30NTU by powdered zeolite dosage. That turbidity was scarcely decreased in generally coagulant using condition in drinking water treatment. In granular zeolite test, ammonia was not detected in treated water until 8 days. This result suggest that using of granular zeolite in sand filter could be removal ammonia in winter. But we need regeneration at zeolite filtration for ammonia removal. So, it is to make clear that zeolite regeneration ability was compared KCl with NaCl. The result reveal that KCl was more excellent than NaCl. Optimum regeneration concentration of KCl was revealed 100 mM. Regeneration efficient was not increased at pH range 10～12.5
