The dissolved air at the bottom layer of the deep aeration tank transforms into fine gas bubbles within the MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid) floc when exposed to the atmosphere. MLSS floc flotation occurs when MLSS from the deep aeration tank enters the secondary clarifier for solid-liquid separation, as dissolved air becomes fine air within the MLSS floc. The floated MLSS floc causes a high SS (Suspended Solid) concentration in the secondary effluent. The fine air bubbles within the MLSS floc must be removed to achieve stable sedimentation in the secondary clarifier. Fine bubbles within the MLSS floc can be removed by air sparging. The settleability of MLSS was measured by sludge volume indexes (SVIs) after air sparging MLSS taken at the end of the deep aeration tank. MLSS settling tests were performed at MLSS heights of 200, 300, 400, and 500 mm, and compressed air was fed at the bottom of the settling column with air flow rates of 100, 300, and 500 ml/min at each MLSS height, respectively. Also, at each height and air flow rate, air was sparged for 3, 5, and 7 minutes, respectively. SVI was determined for each height, air flow rate, and sparging time, respectively. Experimental results showed that a 300 mm MLSS height, 300 ml/min air flow rate, and 3 minutes of sparging time were the least conditions to achieve less than 120 ml/g of SVI, which was the criterion for good MLSS settling in the secondary clarifier.

본 연구는 낙동강 하구역의 사주지형 변화를 예측하기 위한 기초적 연구로서 하천유량의 변화에 따른 부유사의 물질수지에 대하여 검토하였다. 낙동강 하구역의 부유사 물질수지는 갈수기시 60,708 kg/day가 유입하고, 홍수기는 306,892 kg/day가 외해를 통하여 유출하는 것으로 산정되었다. 낙동강 하구역은 전반적으로 갈수기 및 평수기에 부유사의 유입, 홍수기에 부유사의 유출이 반복 되지만, 사주지형 주변에서는 부유사의 유입과 유출 거동이 복잡하게 나타나 장기 지형변동 모니터링이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 기존의 중량법과 광산란법과는 원리와 기술이 다른 입도별 부유물질 측정용 분리막 모듈 및 장치를 개발하기 위한 원리를 수립하기 위한 기초 자료를 확립하고자 하였다. 이러한 목적을 위하여, 이산화규소 및 덱스트란(dextran), 카올린(kaolin), PEG (polyethylene glycol) 부유용액을 대상으로 유리섬유 여과지 GF/C와 GF/A를 분리막 모듈에 장착하여 여과시키면서, 디지털 압력계를 사용하여 막간압력차(TMP, Trans-membrane pressure) 변화를 측정하였다. 모사용액의 농도와 TMP 변화율 기울기의 상관관계식을 TMP 변화 실험 결과로부터 구하여, TMP 변화 기울기로부터 시료의 농도를 예측할 수 있도록 하였다.

This study was conducted to understand the variation characteristics of suspended solid in the Keum River Estuary. Water sampling was carried out regularly with response to the tidal cycle from September, 1986 to August, 1987. Analyzed or observed items were sea water temperature, salinity, TS, TDS, TSS, VSS, FSS. and also the relationships between wind velocity, precipitation, tidal cycle and TSS were investigated. It is found that the sea water temperature is the lowest in January(2.5℃)and the highest in August(24.4℃), and increases toward upstream in summer and vice versa in winter. Salinity is the lowest in August (13.6‰) and the highest in December(20.3‰), and the annual mean value shows 13.6‰. TS and TDS are firmly related with the variation of salinity, thus, high in spring and low in summer. The annual mean values of TSS in 199.8(65.3∼454.5)㎎/ℓ, highest in March 308.2(67.5∼792. 3)㎎/ℓ and lowest in June 36.8(10.9∼200.0)㎎/ℓ. The annual mean values of VSS is 22.0㎎/ℓ, its variation tendency is similar to that of TSS. The annual mean value of VSS /TSS ratio is 13.9(6.8∼20.2)%, which are not high level compared with those of polluted sea areas. This ratio is high in summer(24.1%) and low in autumn(13.3%), and increases toward the downstream direction. It is also revealed that TSS shows a positive correlation with the wind velocity(r=0.59), and a negative with the precipitation in the Keum River basin(r=-0.64). TSS concentration is primarily subjected to the tidal range and the freshwater discharge and also related to the resuspension of bottom sediments by the action of wind force or wind waves. The dilution rate is strongly subjected to the seasonal variation of the freshwater discharge, therefore, TSS concentration shows low in summer and high in winter. Under low discharge condition in spring, autumn and winter, TSS, VSS are high level in spring tide compared with those in neap tide : under high discharge condition in summer, these values are reversed that is, TSS is higher in neap tide than in spring tide.

본 연구에서는 안동댐과 임하댐의 퇴적물과 유입되는 부유물의 특성을 색도분석, X-선회절분석 및 유도플라즈마/질량분석법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 안동댐과 임하댐으로 유입되는 부유물 및 댐 퇴적물의 광물조성은 석영, 사장석, 녹니석, 일라이트이며 소량의 몬모릴로나이트와 캐올리나이트를 포함하고 있다. 안동댐 퇴적물과 다르게 임하댐 퇴적물에는 다량의 방해석을 포함하고 있다. 색도는 시료에 따라 약간의 차이가 있지만 회갈색에서 어두운 주황색 정도이다. 퇴적물의 중금속 농도는 안동댐이 임하댐보다 더 높다. 안동댐과 임하댐 퇴적물과 유입 부유물질의 주요 중금속 농도는 미국의 국립해양대기관리청의 기준을 적용할 경우 높은 오염도를 나타낸다. 안동댐 퇴적물의 중금속 농도가 임하댐보다 높은 것은 안동댐으로 유입되는 부유물질의 중금속 농도가 임하댐으로 유입되는 부유물질의 중금속 농도보다 높기 때문이다.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of suspended solid concentration in small forest watershed, Hwacheon, Gangwondo. For five rainfall events from July 2013 to August 2013, rainfall, discharge, and suspended solid load has been measured. The results showed that the fist flush effect was observed for suspended solid in each rainfall event, sediment rating curve was obtained with y=3.029x1.573 at rising limb and y=12.902x1.8827 at falling limb, and EMC (event mean concentration) of suspended solid was calculated to 9.4 mg/L. EMC was compared to the values from the watershed that has various land use types and EMC from forest watershed was much lower that from the crop, paddy or low covered forest watershed.

Seasonal and stational variation of SS and COD were investigated from February 2008 to December 2010 and the relationship between them was discussed. During three years monitoring, SS decreased significantly (46% decline) possibly due to the increase of precipitation and thereby resulting salinity drop. COD on average was the highest in 2009. SS was the highest in autumn and the lowest in winter, and over 72% of SS was FSS. While SS is high in the upper sampling stations of the bay with shallow water, COD values do not show any relationship to the geomorphological characteristics. CODins, which was defined as COD after filtration, ranged 56%(winter) ~ 44.6%(summer) and showed no correlation with SS. It indicates that high SS concentration is not necessarily related to the high CODins. The seasonal CODins/SS data, which can be interpreted as COD density in SS, shows that SS in winter contains the dense COD materials compared to the other seasons.

비점오염은 점오염과 달리 불특정 배출경로를 가지며 유출량의 예측 및 정량화가 어렵다. 또한 비점오염물질이 수계로 유입 될 경우 수질의 악화를 초래한다. 이에 정부는 비점오염원을 관리하고자 비점오염저감시설 개발, 연구 및 설치를 지속적으로 시행하고 있다. 하지만 기존 비점오염저감시설의 경우 충분한 자료를 토대로 설치되지 않아 추가적인 연구 및 보완이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 식생수로에서 강우 시 발생되는 부유물질 및 유기물 저감효율을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법으로는 대상지역에서의 강우 모니터링을 통해 비점오염저감시설의 자연형 장치인 식생수로에서의 EMC를 통계분석하고 ER 방법 및 SOL 방법을 이용하여 오염물질 저감효율을 산정하였다. EMC 결과 값은 TSS는 유입 27.62 ∼ 98.08mg/L, 유출 13.96 ∼ 220.12mg/L, COD는 유입 13.61mg/L ∼ 31.83mg/L, 유출 5.69 ∼ 11.34mg/L, BOD는 유입 2.58 ∼ 11.70mg/L, 유출 0.59 ∼ 6.65mg/L의 범위를 보였다. 저감효율 산정 값은 ER 방법과 SOL 방법에 대해 각각 TSS는 49%, 83% COD는 72%, 82% BOD는 71%, 76%로 나타났다. 상대적으로 낮은 유출부의 EMC 범위와 평균 70% 이상의 저감효율 산정 값을 통해 식생수로가 강우 시 발생되는 오염물질에 대해 높은 저감효과를 가진다고 판단된다.

점오염원과는 다르게 비점오염원은 배출지점이 명확하지 않고 강우사상, 배수유역 등의 자연적 요인에 따라 배출량의 변화가 심하여 예측에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 비점오염원의 관리를 위하여 많은 비점오염원 저감시설이 설치되었다. 본 연구는 비점오염원이 효과적인 관리가 되고 있는지 알아보기 위해 기존에 설치되어 있는 자연형 비점오염원 저감시설인 식생여과대의 유입, 유출수의 EMC 와 저감 효율을 산정하여 나타낸 결과로 비점오염원 저감시설의 효율평가에 도움 될 것이라고 판단된다.

The high speed elimination process of suspended solid was investigated to treat the pulp waste water by using surface modified magnetite particle and magnetic power. The effects of the various aluminum salts such as Al(NO3)3·9H2O, AlCl3·6H2O, Al2(SO4)3·13～14 on the COD, BOD and suspended solid were systematically studied. It has been found that the 2.0 wt% of Al was most effective for the modification of Fe3O4 powder and then best for the treatment of pulp waste water. Optimum quantity of modified magnetite in this study was 12 wt%, and aging time was found to be 12 hours. Comparing with the conventional process, the required time for SS removal was drastically decreased. BOB and COD were also effectively removed when applied to the pulp wastewater.
