트램 건설시 LID 기법 적용에 따른 환경편익 증대 방안으로 경제성 평가에서 온실가스 저감에 따른 환경편익을 계량화하였다. 또한 LID 기법 중 침투형 투수블록 적용에 따른 도시물순환 효과를 정책성 분석시 사업특수 평가항목으로 선택할 수 있는지 여부에 대한 가능성에 대해서도 검토하였다. 투수잔디블록의 사용에 따른 콘크리트 궤도 대비 탄소배출 비율은 잔디 피복율(100%, 50% 화강석, 50% HDPE)에 따라 각각 -184.7%, -127.3%, -116.3%로 산출되었으며, 투수블록의 경우에는 화강석 및 HDPE 각각 30.1%, 52.5%로 산출되었다. 침투형 투수블록을 적용할 경우 강우강도 90mm/hr까지 저수가 가능한 것으로 나타났으며(저수율 94.3%), 도시물순환 시스템으로써 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로 트램건설시 LID 기법 적용으로 환경편익의 증대가 기대되며 추후 AHP 분석에서 정책적 요소로도 다루어질 필요가 있다. Reduced greenhouse gas effect induced by LID (Low Impact Development) technique application in tramway construction was quantified to increase environmental benefit as part of an overall economic assessment. In addition, by application of penetration type permeable blocks, the effect of the urban water cycle was examined as a special assessment item in the policy analysis. The carbon emission ratios of the permeable turf block, according to the turf coverage rate (100%, 50% granite, and 50% HDPE), against the concrete track construction were -184.7%, -127.3%, and -116.3%, respectively. The carbon emission ratios of permeable blocks with granite and HDPE were 30.1% and 52.5%. In the case of the penetration type permeable block, it was possible to store rainfall in the block until 90mm/hr of rainfall intensity (94.3% of water reserve rate); therefore, this method was effective as part of the urban water cycle system. As a result, an increased environmental benefit from LID technique application is expected in tramway construction; this needs to be considered as a policy factor in AHP analysis.
The purpose of this study is to derive an estimation equation for calculating the lag time for ammonia load adaptation of methanogens during anaerobic digestion and to derive model coefficients using the results derived from the batch experiment results. Pig manure is known to be a representative substrate that inhibits the normal operation of the anaerobic digestion process by accumulating ammonia. AMPTS (Automatic Methane Potential Test Systems) equipment was used in the laboratory to determine whether methane bacteria can be suppressed and applied to the high concentration of ammonia in general pig manure and the operating factors for operating an on-site anaerobic digester at a pig farm. The methane production rate before adaptation to ammonia concentration is 0.68 L/gVS at TAN 2,700mg/L, while the microorganism after adaptation shows a generation rate of 0.82L/gVS at TAN 4,250mg/L. The delayed phase length (λ) range from 45 to 99 days in unadapted microorganisms, showing that methane production is possible without a delayed phase when using adapted microorganisms. The modified Gompertz model applied in this study not only shows a difference in the λ value, which represents the lag time, depending on whether the microorganisms adapt, but also shows a larger difference in Pm1, which represents the amount of methane production by stage, while the half-saturation constant K and the maximum gas in the second stage show a greater difference. The production rate, Rm, changes depending on the organic matter load and shows similar values regardless of whether the microorganisms have adapted or not.
The superstructure type of the railway bridge in our country, is mainly classified into the box girder and the I-type girder. The box girder is widely used in the high speed railway bridge because of the safety due to dynamic behavior. The I-type girder is used in the conventional railway bridge, and is also divided into the general type and the composite type, and the newly modified types have been developed. According to the current railway bridge design code, the girder design by the span length in various types of railway bridge is performed in is study. The suitable girder height and the construction cost by the span length are analyzed, and the comparative analysis of the structural efficiency and the economical efficiency is carried out. From this study, the composite type girder is appeared the good result in respect of the structural efficiency. However, in the economical aspect, the general I-type girder is required less cost than the other types.
Railroad is well known for eco-friendly transportation system. But, for past few decades, there might be happened many contamination acts in railway facility sites. Industrial and municipal solid wastes produced to maintain and fix trains were dumped to underground of railroad depot area. To develop and reconstruct this area, we should remediate the contaminated soil and ground water. This study was conducted to evaluate the soil pollution status of railroad depot and propose the optimum remediation processes. Our investigation showed that main pollutants sources were TPH and some heavy metals from the dump site. The surveying results for the soil under rail track and crossing nose areas showed TPH contamination from crossing nose area causing lubricant agent. It could be use and rehabilitate the railroad facility areas to an intended purpose with an application of well designed in-situ and ex-situ remediation processes.
This research was conducted to analyze removal efficiencies of non-point pollution source (NPS) in low impact development (LID) facilities with vegetation. In this research, removal efficiencies of NPS were calculated using rainfall monitoring data for 5 years in grassed swale (GS) and vegetative filter strip (VFS). TSS was greater than other pollutants, and it ranged 11.9 ~ 351.7 mg/L in GS and 12.8 ~ 350.7 mg/L in VFS. Outflow EMCs were reduced than inflow EMCs, overall removal efficiencies of NPS were 67 ~ 86% in GS and 63 ~ 91% in VFS. 50 % reduction efficiency of rainfall runoff was observed between inflow and outflow in each LID facility. TSS removal efficiency in GS and VFS was correlated with rainfall characteristics. The rainfall for TSS removal efficiency over 50% was determined about 31 mm, 34 mm and average rainfall intensity was 3.0 mm/hr, 3.9 mm/hr in GS and VFS.. Therefore, GS and VFS were regarded effective LID facilities as removal of pollutants and rainfall runoff. Also, this research result can be used as an important data for management of NPS.
Two different methods for TOC (Total Organic Carbon) analysis of livestock manure including high strength solid organics were evaluated. Firstly, an analyzing method by dilution after pre-treated by Ultrasonicator and 100 mesh sieve for homogenization was defined as TOC 1; and secondly method divide...
In situ biological denitrification has been proposed as an important metabolic activity in the remediation of nitrate-contaminated groundwater. In this study, the effects of fumarate, an electron donor for biological denitrification, on the in situ denitrifying activity were determined by using three types of single-well push-pull tests; transport, biostimulation and activity tests. During the tests, changes in microbial community composition were also investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rRNA genes. Transport test demonstrated that non-reactive tracer and biologically reactive solutes behaved similarly. A biostimulation test was conducted to stimulate the denitrifying activities of native microorganisms, which were monitored by detecting the simultaneous production of CO2 and drastic degradations of both nitrate and fumarate after the injection of fumarate as an electron donor and/or carbon source, with nitrate as an electron acceptor. A phylogenetic analysis suggested that the taxonomic affiliation of the dominant species before biostimulation was γ-Proteobacteria, including Acinetobacter species and Pseudomonas fluorescens, while the dominant species after biostimulation were affiliated with β-Proteobacteria, cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides and high G+C gram-positive bacteria. These results suggest that the analyses of groundwater samples using a combination of single well push pull tests with DGGE can be applied to investigate the activity, diversity and composition shift of denitrifying bacteria in a nitrate-contaminated aquifer.
