Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the release differences for some critical pollution compounds according to the surrounding conditions in order to predict water quality due to the sedimental releases and the release characteristics at different sedimental locations in Lake Leewon, in Tae-An area. COD, nitrogens and phosphates were analyzed using the standard methods for water quality, based on high chloride ion concentration(greater than 2,000 ppm). For COD, the release rate increased in the anoxic basin but almost the same in the oxic basin. For $NH_3$-N, the release rate decreased in the oxic basin as you go A through C point meanwhile, for $NO_3$-N and T-N, the tendency was reversed because of nitrification of them. In the anoxic basin, the release rates of $NH_3$-N and $NO_3$-N went up with A through C path. However, the release rate of T-N was found to decrease. Also, for $PO_4$-P and T-P, the release rates in the oxic basin were lowest at B point mainly because the phosphates were at less released in the highly $O_2$ concentrated environment. In the anoxic reactor, $PO_4$-P was released similarly regardless of the sampling points. In summary, the release rates in the oxic reactor were greater than those in the anoxic reactor for COD and $NO_3$-N. For the other components, the anoxic basin generated the higher release rates.

호수 퇴적물의 용출로 인한 수질오염을 예측하고 퇴적 위치에 따른 용출 특성을 파악하기 위해 환경 조건에 따른 용출 차이를 분석하였다. 분석 항목으로는 질소계열, 인계열, COD를 분석하였으며, 모든 시료의 분석 방법은 호수 내부수의 염도가$(Cl^-)$ 2,000 ppm 이상이므로 해수 수질공정 시험법에 준하여 실시하였다. COD는 혐기조일 경우 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 증가한 반면, 호기조일 경우 증 감의 경향성이 없었다. $NH_3$-N의 호기조일 경우 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 감소하였고, 반대로 질산화 작용으로 인해 $NO_3$-N과 T-N은 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 증가하였다. $NH_3$-N, $NO_3$-N의 혐기조는 A지점에서 C지점으로 갈수록 용출율이 증가하였으나 탈질화 작용으로 인하여 T-N의 용출율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. $PO_4$-P, T-P의 경우 호기조에서 B지점의 용출율이 가장 낮았으며, 이는 용존 산소의 함량이 많아 무기물이 산화되면서 인의 용출이 억제된 것으로 판단된다. $PO_4$-P의 혐기조일 경우 A지점부터 C지점의 용출율이 서로 유사하였다. COD와 $NO_3$-N의 경우 혐기조보다 호기조에서 용출율이 높았으며, 그 외의 항목에서는 호기조보다 혐기조에서 용출율이 높았다.
