Abstract

This study was investigated to estimate optimal conditions and biological oxic denitrification to treat wastewater with low C/N ratio and high strength total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) concentration by using $A_2O$ fixed biofilm system. The lab-scale experimental system packed with media, which were composed of polyvinylidene chloride fiber (oxic basin) and ceramic ball (anaerobic and anoxic basin), was used. This system was operated with various influent alkalinities at the C/N(TOC/TIN) ratio of 0.5. The study results showed that TOC were removed over 96.0% at all operation conditions. The removal efficiencies over 93.5% for $NH_4{^+}-N$ and 81.8% for TIN were obtained at the alkalinity of about 1210mg/L(Run 5). Among the removal of TIN, 64.9% was occurred by biological denitrification at an oxic basin. It was confirmed through mass balance of alkalinity and nitrogen that the amount of alkalinity produced during biological denitrification at oxic basin was 2.49~3.46 mg Alkalinity/mg $NO_2{^-}-N$, ${\Delta}TOC/{\Delta}DEN$ of 0.34 (Run 5) was obtained at an oxic basin, which was less than the theoretical value of 1.22.

본 연구는 $A_2O$ 공정을 적용한 고정생물막법을 이용하여 고농도의 총무기성질소(TIN) 유입으로 인해 C/N비가 낮은 폐수를 처리하기 위하여 최적의 운전조건 탐색과 생물학적 호기탈질을 평가하였다. 혐기조와 무산소조에 세라믹 여재를 그리고 호기조에 PVC 여재를 충전한 실험장치는 C/N(TOC/TIN)비를 0.5로 일정하게 유지하고 알칼리도를 변화시켜 실험을 실시하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 유기물제거는 운전조건에 관계없이 96.0% 이상의 높은 제거효율을 얻었다. 유입수의 알칼리도를 약 1210mg/L(Run 5)로 운전하였을 때, $NH_4{^+}-N$와 총 질소 평균 제거효율은 각각 93.5%, 81.8%이었으며, 제거된 총 질소 중 64.9%가 호기조에서 생물학적 탈질에 의해서 제거되었다. 호기조에서 물질수지를 이용하여 질소와 알칼리도를 분석한 결과, 1mg의 $NO_2{^-}-N$가 탈질에 의해 제거될 때 2.49~3.46mg의 알칼리도가 생성되었다. 호기조에서의 생물학적 탈질은 ${\Delta}TOC/{\Delta}DEN$의 이론적인 비 1.22보다 낮은 0.84(Run 5)에서 일어났다.
