Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish effective conditions for controlling $CH_4$, $N_2O$ emission from organic Waste / wastewater treatment processes. Continuous and batch experiments were conducted to treat the micro algae from polluted and eutrophicated lakes through the thermophilic oxic process. The microalgae used were mainly Microcystis sp.(collected from eutrophic lake) and Chlorella sp. (cultured in laboratory) Wasted cooking oil was added by aid-heating source. Physico-chemical components of sludges and microalgae were analyzed. In batch experiments, air supply was changed from 50ml/min to 150ml/min. The temperature. water content and drained water were affected by the air flow rate at initial stage. However, there was almost no influence of air flow rate on them in middle and last stages. At air flow rate of 100ml/min, the degradation rate of organic material was higher than that at other air flow rates. $CO_2$ concentration in exhaust was proportional to the strength of aeration, especially at initial stage when degradation was active. $CH_4$ with low concentration was detected only at starting stage when air diffusion was not enough. $N_2O$ production was not affected by variation of air supply. In continuous experiments no matter what the dewatering methods (with PAC and without PAC) and media (wood chip and reed chip) were changed, $N_2O$ was almost not affected by variation of injected air. Result showed that the reed chips using for lake purification could be used as media for thermophilic oxic process in lake and marshes area. $CO_2$ concentration was not so much affected by the change of dewatering methods and media types. $CH_4$ was not detected in the experimental period. So it can be shown that the thermophilic oxic process had been well operated in wide handling conditions regardless of media and dewatering methods.
본 연구는 고온호기발효법에 의해 미세조류(부영양화호에서 회수한)를 처리할 경우, 처리조건의 변화에 따른 지구온난화가스의 발생특성을 살펴, 가스억제를 위한 효과적 처리조건을 검토하는 것이다. 회분 및 연속실험을 실시하여, 이하의 결과가 얻어졌다. 회분실험에서는 폐식용유의 첨가유무 및 공기주입량에 따른 발효효과를 검토했다. 폐식용유 첨가의 경우, 발열량의 증가에 따라 처리물질의 수분증발에 효과적 이었다. 또 공기주입량의 변화에 따라, 유기물제거는 공기량이 100ml/min일 때 가장 효과적이었고, 발생가스중 $CO_2$는 실험초기에만 영향을 받았고, $N_2O$는 실험중 전혀 영향을 받지 않았다. 또 $CH_4$는 공기공급이 부족한 초기에 검지 되었으나, 그 후 발생되지 않았다. 연속실험에서 공기량을 100ml/min에 고정한 후,고분자응집제의 첨가유무 및 수분조정제의 종류에 따른 가스발생특성을 비교 검토했다. $N_2O$는 고분자응집제(PAC) 첨가 및 수분조정제의 종류에 의해 가스발생량에 영향을 받지 않았으나, $CO_2$의 경우는 약간의 영향을 받았다. $CH_4$는 검출되지 않았다.
