The Effect of Temperature with Substrate and Sludge Adaptation on Biological Phosphorus Release

생물학적 인 방출시 유기물 및 슬러지 적응에 따른 온도의 영향

The effect of temperature on the sources of organic acids and sludge when phosphorus was biologically released was evaluated in this study. The sludge used in this study was obtained from sequencing batch reactor processing the swine wastewater. Temperature is one of the most important parameters influencing the phosphorus release. As a result, the rate of phosphorus released was increased as the temperatures were increased from 5 to $30^{\circ}C$ regardless of the sources of organic acids used. Under anaerobic conditions, as acetate, propionate, glucose, and domestic wastewater were used as the sources of organic acids, the corresponding activation energy($E_a$) values were 49.83, 55.82, 54.61, and 45.44 KJ/mol, respectively. Temperature coefficient($\theta$) values were 1.0676, 1.0826, 1.0748, and 1.0698, respectively. Therefore, the rate of phosphorus released was increased as temperature was increased, whereas, the effect, of the sources of organic acids and temperature on the activation energy and temperature coefficient values were minimal. When the sludge previously adapted to acetate as external organic source was used, the activation energy and temperature coefficient values were 44.94 KJ/mol and 1.0570 respectively. The effect of temperature was minimal. These values obtained from the sludge previously adapted to acetate were smaller than those from the sludge not previously adapted to the same organic acid. This suggest that the sludge previously adapted to acetate was less dependent on temperature than that not adapted to the acetate.

본 연구는 생물학적 인 방출시 유기물 종류 및 대상슬러지가 acetate에 사전 적응여부에 따른 온도의 영향을 관찰하기 위한 연구이다. 실험에 이용된 슬러지는 축산폐수를 처리하는 연속 회분식 반응조(sequencing batch reactor)로부터 채취하였다. 온도는 인의 방출시 크게 영향을 미치는 인자이며 유기물 종류별로 온도가 $5{\sim}30^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 인 방출속도는 증가함이 관찰되었다. 혐기성 상태에서 주입유기물로 acetate, propionate, glucose 및 도시하수를 이용할 경우 인의 방출시 활성화에너지($E_a$) 값들은 각각 49.83, 55.82, 54.61 및 45.44 KJ/mol이었다. 또한 온도보정계수($\theta$)는 각각 1.0676, 1.0826, 1.0748 및 1.0698이었다. 따라서 인이 방출될 때 온도가 증가함에 따라 반응속도는 크게 증가하지만 활성화에너지 및 온도보정계수를 고려한 유기물 종류별 온도의 영향은 큰 차이가 없었다. 대상슬러지로 사전에 acetate에 적응된 슬러지를 이용할 경우 활성화에너지 값 및 온도보정계수는 각각 44.94 KJ/mol 및 1.0570이었다. 이는 적응되지 않은 슬러지로 부터 얻어진 각각의 값(49.83 KJ/mol 및 1.0676)보다 상대적으로 낮음이 관찰되어 슬러지가 acetate에 서전에 적응된 것이 적응되지 않은 것보다 상대적으로 온도의 영향을 적게 받음을 알 수 있었다.
