미생물에 독성영향을 미치는 것으로 알려진 SCN 이 포항제철소내 관리형 매립시설에서 나오는 침출수에 함유된 농도는 미생물에 의해 제거될 수 있었다. 온도에 따른 SBR 운전 결과를 통하여 적응된 이후에 비해서 초기에 긴 적응기간이 필요하다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 초기 직응기간이 짧아지고 수렴하는 SCN 제거소요시간이 짧아짐을 알 수 있었다. $SCN^-$ 이 미생물의 애너지원과 질소, 황, 탄소원으로 사용되어 제거됨을 온도변화에 따른 SBR 운전으로 알 수 있었다.
This research was conducted as a part of continuous development of a bioprocess to treat thiocyanate($SCN^-$) in the leachate from an industrial landfill site. Detailed characteristics of the leachate, physical and chemical, was analyzed in this study. Time to reach equilibrium in $SCN^-$ degradation at different temperature, similar to the annual variation. was investigated for posssible adaptation of the bioprocess in the treatment site. Complete mineralization of $SCN^-$ to ammonia. bicarbonate and sulfate at all temperature range with except $5^{\circ}C$ trial was observed with different time elapsed to reach equilibrium. which shortened as the process of Fill-Draw proceeded. The final metabolites were mainly nitrate and sulfate. No fouling odor was detected and the settling characteristic of the biomass after the treatment was good(i.e., sludge volume index(SVI) ${\le}$80). Using MWT sludge as an inoculum showed better performance with respect to the elapsed time for treatment and sedimentation characteristics than those of using 2BET sludge.
