Abstract
A jet-loop reactor was used for the biological treatment of ethylene glycol(EG) which is a main component of polyester weight-loss wastewater, and is difficult to be removed by physicochemical treatments. Volumetric oxygen coefficient(kLa) of jet-loop reactor was significantly larfgeer that of air-lift reactor. When organic loading rates of synthetic polyester weight-loss wastewater were 2.64 $kgOD_{Mn}/m^3$.day and 3.07 $kgCOD_{Cr}/m^3$.day, the effluent concentrations were measured as 154 $mgCOD_{Mn}/L$ and 156$mgCOD_{Cr}/L$, and removal efficiencies were found as 93%and 93.6%, respectively. The specific removal rate was proportionally increased from 0.25 to 1.60 $kgCOD_{Mn}$-removed/kgMLVSS.day as specific loading rate was increased from 0.25 to 1.72 $kgCOD_{Mn}$/kgMLVSS.day. Also, kinetics constants such as $K_s$, k, $K_d$, and Y were estimated as 89 mg/L, $0.05 hr^{-1}$, 0.1$day^{-1}$ and 0.78 respectively. When the organic loading rates of real polyester weight-loss wastewater were 2.64 $kgOD_{Mn}/m^3$. and 5.24 $kgCOD_{Cr}/m^3$. day, the effluent concentrations were measured as 150 $mgCOD_{Mn}$/L, and 306 $mgCOD_{Cr}$/L, and removal efficiencies were found as 93.2% and 93%, respectively. This study demonstrated that EG in the wastewater could be efficiently removed biologically using a jet-loop reactor.
Polyester 감량폐수의 주성분 중 물리.화학적 처리가 어려운 EG를 생물학적으로 처리하기 위하여 jet-loop reactor를 사용하였다 Jet-loop reactor의 산소전달계수는 air-lift reactor와 비교하여 훨씬 컸다. 합성 polyester 감량폐수를 사용하여 부하율 2.64 $kgCOD_{Mn}/m^3$.day, 3.07$kgCOD_{Cr}/m^3$.day로 처리한 경우 유출수의 농도는 154 $mgCOD_{Mn}/L$, 156$mgCOD_{Mn}/L$이었으며, 이 때 각각 93, 93.9%의 제거율을 나타내었다. $COD_{Mn}$의 비부하 속도가 0.25에서 1.72$kgCOD_{Mn}/kgMLVSS$.day로 증가 함에 따라 비기질제거 속도는 0.25에서 1.60$kgCOD_{Mn}-removed/kgMLVSS$.day로 선형적으로 증가하였다. 그리고, 동력학적 계수 Y는 0.78,$K_d$는 0.1$day^{-1}$, $K_s$는 89mg/L는 k는 0.05$hr^{-1}$이었다. 실제 polyester 감량폐수를 사용하여 부하율 2.64$kgCOD_{Mn}/m^3$.day,5.24$kgCOD_{Cr}/m^3$.day로 처리한 경우 유출수의 농도는 150$kgCOD_{Mn}/L$, 3.6$kgCOD_{Cr}/L$이었으며, 이때 각각 93.2,93%의 제거울을 나타내었다.
