Abstract

The immobilization of nitrifier consortium was carried out for the application to recirculating aquaculture system(RAS). The abilities of $NH_4^+$-N removal by immobilized nitrifier consortia prepared with boric acid treated, ethanol treated, ad freezing-thawing treated PVA beads at the concentration 15% were examined. To identify the possibility of applying the beads in the fluidized bed reactor, characteristics of beads were evaluated. The suitable bead was boric acid treated beads which had highest ammonia removal rate of 16.09 g/$m^3$/day. It took 12 days for nitrifier consortium immobilized beads to be stable for the removal of $NH_4^+$-N. Life spans of the beads were more than three months with aggressive aeration in the fluidized ed reactor when nitrifier consortia immobilized in PVA beads were used. In order to apply the nitrifier consortium immobilized beads to aquaculture facility, the continuous reactor was used for 49 days with synthetic aquacultural water containing 2 mg/L ammonia. The highest ammonia removal rate of 31.87 g/$m^3$/day was observed when hydraulic residence time was 0.6 hour(36min.).

양어장 순환수 속의 암모니아성 질소를 제거하기 위하여 PVA를 boric acid. 처리법과 ethanol 처리법 및 freezing-thawing 처리법으로 제조된 구형 bead와 칼럼형 bead에 이들을 이용한 질화균군을 고정화 시켰다. 유가식 배양에서는 boric acid 처리법으로 제조된 구형 bead가 유동층 반응조에서 사용하기에 성상면에서나 암모니아 제거율에서 가장 이상적이었으며, 90일 동안의 유동층 반응기에서 운전하였으나 bead의 성상이나 효율은 변화없이 일정하였다. Boric acid 처리법으로 제조된 bead를 충전한 연속 빈용기에서의 암모니아성 질소 제거에 대한 실험에서 수리학적 체류시간이 0.6시간에서 암모니아 제거 속도는 31.9g $NH__3-N/m^3$/day였으며 제거효울은 36% 였다. 연속 반응기내에 2mg/L의 암모니아가 주입되고 공기량을 0.1vvin으로 공급하더라도 용존산소 농도를 4,64~5.40mg/L로 유지할수 있었으므로 질산화에 필요한 용존산소를 충분히 유지할 수가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 pH는 7.7~7.9의 범위를 유지할 수가 있어 pH에 따른 위해 요소는 없는 것으로 나타났다.
