This study focused on using indirect filtration through riverbeds to produce high-quality drinking water. Data on water quality from a water intake facility(capacity 10,000 m3/day) and nearby rivers were collected over a three-year period. The average intake facility specifications were found to be a specific surface area of 58 balls/m2, a mean particle size of 24 mm, an inflow velocity of 2.2 cm/sec, and a burial depth of 5 m. The water quality improvement rate was assessed as grade Ia, surpassing the adjacent river’s water quality. Correlation analysis showed a weak correlation between opening ratio, Suspended Solid (SS), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) compared to total coliforms and fecal coliforms. The correlation coefficient R value of SS was -0.614, BOD was –0.588, total coliforms -0.870, and fecal coliforms -0.958. The R value shows a negative value, which showed that the larger the opening rate, the lower the removal rate of water pollutants. The correlation coefficient R values according to the depth of burial were found to be BOD 0.914, SS-0.124, total coliforms 1.000, and fecal coliforms 0.866. The deeper the burial depth, the higher the removal rate of BOD and microbial groups.

Cu(II) can cause health problem for human being and phosphate is a key pollutant induces eutrophication in rivers and ponds. To remove of Cu(II) and phosphate from solution, chitosan as adsorbent was chosen and used as a form of hydrogel bead. Due to the chemical instability of hydrogel chitosan bead (HCB), the crosslinked HCB by glutaraldehyde (GA) was prepared (HCB-G). HCB-G maintained the spherical bead type at 1% HCl without a loss of chitosan. A variety of batch experiment tests were carried out to determine the removal efficiency (%), maximum uptake (Q, mg/g), and reaction rate. In the single presence of Cu(II) or phosphate, the removal efficiency was obtained to 17 and 16%, respectively. However, the removal efficiency of Cu(II) and phosphate was increased to 50~55% at a mixed solution. The maximum uptake (Q) for Cu(II) and phosphate was enhanced from 11.3 to74.4 mg/g and from 3.34 to 36.6 mg/g, respectively. While the reaction rate of Cu(II) and phosphate was almost finished within 24 and 6 h at single solution, it was not changed for Cu(II) but was retarded for phosphate at mixed solution.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to assess removal efficiency of non-point pollutants and applicability for non-point pollutant reduction facilities by conducting the demonstration project operation. METHODS : In order to analyze removal efficiency of non-point pollutants for facilities such as a grassed swale, a small constructed wetland, a free water surface wetland, a horizontal sub-surface flow wetland, and a sand filtration, the field data including specifications of facilities, rainfall, inflow and runoff rainfall effluent etc. was acquired after occurring rainfall events, and the acquired data was analyzed for removal efficiency rate to assess road non-point pollutants facilities using event mean concentration (EMC) and summation of load (SOL) methods. RESULTS: The results of analyzing rainfall effluent, non-point pollutant sources showed that total suspended solid (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chrome (Cr), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) can be removed through non-point pollutant reduction facilities by 60.3% ~ 100%. Especially removal efficiency of TSS, COD and BOD is relatively higher than removal efficiency of other non-point pollutant sources in all kind of non-point pollutant facilities. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the result of this study, even though natural type of non-point pollutant reduction facilities for roads occupy small areas comparing with drainage basin areas, most of non-point pollutant sources would be removed through the facilities.

터널 내 축적된 다양한 오염원들은 간헐적으로 수행되는 세척과정 중에 폐수로 배출되게 되며, 서울 시내 3개 터널 지점에서 수행된 수질분석결과 SS, CODCr, T-N, NH3-N, NO3-N, Zn, Cu, Cr(+6). Mn, Mg, Phenol.

기후변화에 따른 신재생에너지 사용에 대한 사회적 요구가 증가되고 있지만, 아직까지 우리나라는 전력생산의 약 40%를 석탄화력발전에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따른 석탄재 발생량은 지난 10년간 약 2배 정도 증가하여 2015년 한해에만 약 900만톤의 석탄재가 발생하였다. 이렇게 발생된 석탄재 중 비산재는 주요성분이 Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3의 광물 (>95%)로 구성되어 있어, 양회용 건설재료로 많이 쓰이고 있다. 하지만, 아직까지 연간 약 200만톤의 석탄재가 매립되고 있는 실정이여서 이와관련된 여러 가지 환경오염문제들이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내화력발전소에서 수집한 석탄재를 이용하여 주요성분인 Al와 Si를 추출하여, 기존의 보고된 제올라이트 합성방법을 수정하여 새롭고 다양한 제올라이트로 합성하는 기술을 개발하였다. 또한, 합성된 제올라이트를 서포터로 하는 촉매를 개발하여 수내에 환경오염물질의 효과적인 제거가 가능한지 여부를 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과들은 향후 지속적으로 발생되는 석탄재의 환경정화소재화 기술을 통해서 다양한 오염물질 분해에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 사상성 조류로 구성된 수질정화시설의 수질정화효율을 평가하고자 충남 서산시 음암면에 소재한 성암저수지 유입하천 홍수부지에 test-bed를 설치하고 유입하천수를 대상으로 현장적용실험을 실시하였다. 수질항목별로 정화효율을 평가한 결과, SS 80.9%, COD 74.6%, T-N 76.8%, T-P 84.4%, DTN 93.8%, DTP 98.3%의 제거효율을 보였다. 수온에 따른 정화효율은 수온이 약 20˚C로 유지되어 수질정화효율에 미치는 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 수리학적 체류시간(HRT)은 SS 및 TP 처리효율과 유의한 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 체류시간을 5일로 했을 때 SS, TP 처리효율이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 유입수의 COD/TN에 따른 처리효율은 TN, TP 모두 C/N비가 낮을수록 증가하였고, 유입수의 COD/TP에 따른 처리효율도 C/P비가 낮을수록 TN, TP 모두 처리효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, an experiment was conducted on influent water with low concentrations of organic matter, such as river water or secondary treatment water of a sewage treatment plant, according to HRT changes by using aerobic biofilm. In the biofilm process, as the biofilm increases in thickness, the inner membrane can be low in oxygen transfer rate and become anaerobic conditions, while the detachment of biomass from biofilm occurs. To overcome these limitations in the detachment of microorganisms in biofilm, the yarn, which was made from poly propylene(PP), was weaved and manufactured into a tube. Then, a test was carried out by injecting air so that the interior of the biofilm could create aerobic conditions. The results of the experiment showed that the removal efficiency of TCODcr reached 66.1∼81.2% by HRT 2hr, and 50.9 ∼61.8% after HRT 1 hr. The removal efficiency of SCODcr was 45.9 to 55.1% by HRT 1hr, and 26.1% in HRT 0.5hr, showing the highest removal efficiency in HRT 1hr. The SS removal efficiency was at 81.8 to 94.6%, and the effluent SS concentration was very low, indicating less than 2.2 mg/L in all HRT's. As a result, the SCODcr and NH4 +-N that were removed per specific surface area and attached to microbial biofilm showed the highest efficiency in HRT 1hr with 8.37 gSCODcr/m2·d, 2.93 gNH4 +-N/m2·d. From the result of reviewing the characteristics of biofilm growth, microorganisms were found to be attached, and increased by 36 days. Later, they decreased in number through detachment, but showed a tendency to increase again 41 days later due to microbial reproduction.

The recycled washwater, which has different water quality and is produced about 5 to 20% of the total water volume treated, affects the unit operation of water treatment, especially coagulation process. However, the effects of recycled washwater on unit operation of water treatment have not been fully investigated. In this study, effects of recycled washwater on coagulation process were investigated to find the optimum coagulation condition by analyzing turbidity, UV254, TOC removal efficiencies. In addition, effects of recycled washwater on residual Al after coagulation were studied by analyzing soluble and particulate Al. The size distribution and fractal dimension of coagulated also analyzed. The recycled washwater was lower pH than the raw water. And the recycled washwater had higher UV254, TOC and residual Al concentration than the raw water. Residual Al concentration of recycled washwater was about 50 times higher than that of raw water. Optimum coagulant dosages on the blending recycled washwater and the raw water for turbidity, UV254 and Al removal were lower than that on the raw water. However, TOC removal increased by increasing coagulant dosage. The size and fractal dimension of coagulated particle produced in the blending recycled washwater were larger, which imply faster settling velocity, than those produced in the raw water only.
