Abstract

To develop the treatment process of swine wastewater using Rhodopseudomonas palustris KK14 with high utilizable ability of organic acids, some operating conditions were investigated and optimized in flask-scale and laboratory-scale reactors. The optimal operating conditions in photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) reactor of semi-continuous type were obtained at HRT 6 day, 5% (v/v/day) seeding rate of PSB sludge and 10% (v/v/day) returning rate of PSB return sludge. Under the above operating condition, COD level of the wastewater (initial COD: 10 g/l) was reduced to about 1.7 g/l after 4 days treatment and MLSS was held constant at $4{\sim}5\;g$ per liter. In laboratory-scale process consisted of 5.2 l anaearobic digestion reactor and 15 l PSB reactor, the total removal rates of COD and BOD were increased to 95% and 96% by the continuous operation for 5.36 days, respectively, showing $3kg\;COD/m^3/day$ COD loading rate and 1.1 Kg COD/Kg MLSS/day sludge loading rate in PSB reactor. The offensive odor was considerably removed through the treatment process of swine wastewater.

광합성세균을 이용한 농축산가의 소규모 가축 폐수처리공정 개발을 위한 연구의 일환으로 고농도에서 유기산의 자화율이 높은 Rhodopseudomonas palustris KK14를 사용하여 돈분폐수처리공정의 최적화를 flask-scale 및 laboratory-scale에서 실시하였다. 반연속식으로 실시한 flask-scale에서 광합성세균 반응조는 HRT 6일, 광합성세균오니량 5%(v/v), 반송오니량 10%(v/v)로 했을 때 안정된 83%의 COD 제거율 및 적절한 $4{\sim}5\;g/l$의 MLSS가 유지되었다. 산생성 반응조와 광합성세균 반응조의 working volume을 각각 5.2 l와 15 l로 scale-up한 실험실적 실험에서는 원폐수 대비 COD와 BOD의 제거율이 각각 95%와 96%를 나타냈으며 광합성세균 반응조의 COD 용적부하율 및 오니부하율은 각각 $3kg\;COD/m^3/day$와 1.1kg COD/kg MLSS/day를 유지함으로써 적당한 MLSS농도가 유지되었고 부가적으로 폐수처리가 진행되면서 악취가 제거되는 효과를 나타내었다.
