외부 반송이 있는 생물활성탄담체(BACC) 공정에 의한 오수 중 질소${\cdot}$인의 동시 제거

BACC(Biological Activated Carbon Cartridge)process is a newly developed biological process to remove organic compounds, nitrogen, and phosphorus with activated carbon granules in iron fixed-frame cartridge type. The largest defect of previous BACC process was denitrification inefficiency. The removal efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorous with external recycle ratios $100{\sim}200%$ for synthetic wastewater were $69.8{\sim}90.1%$ and $62.18{\sim}91%$, respectively, since the modified BACC process with external recycle overcame the defect of BACC process. When external recycle ratio was increased more than 300%, T-N removal efficiencies were decreased. In the treatment of a real sewage using modified BACC process, $COD_{Cr}$, removal efficiencies were $96.3{\sim}97.5%$ which was similar to those of the previous BACC process. while T-N removal efficiencies was $88.3{\sim}95.7%$ which were superior to those of the previous BACC process.

기존의 BACC process의 가장 큰 단점은 탈질이 잘 이루어지지 않는다는 점인데 이것을 보완한 modified BACC process의 경우 실제오수를 사용하여 외부 반송비 따른 질소 및 인의 제거율을 살펴보면 외부 반송비가 200%일 때 $CODC_{Cr}$의 제거율은 평균 $96.3{\sim}95.7%$ 기존의 BACC process와 비슷하나 T-N 제거율은 $88.3{\sim}95.7%$로 월등히 우수한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 충진율 실험에서는 Table 2에서 보는 바와 같이 큰 차이는 없었다.
