Abstract

Recycled packed-bed reactor emploring immobilized microorganism was suggested in this paper for efficient denitrification. In the batch reactor, the effects of initial oxidation-reduction potential and nitrate concentration on denitrification were investigated. As the initial oxidation-reduction potential was decresed to -70 mV from +40 mV, the removal rate of nitrate was increased to 3.33 from 1.25 m9 NO$_3$$\^$-/-N/min under the experimental conditions. As the initial nitrate-N concentraion was increased to 200 mg/l, the removal rate of nitrate was proportional to the concentration of nitrate. When the concentration of nitrate-N was 400 mg/min, nitrite was detected, and when the initial nitrate-N concentration was reached at 1,000 mg/l, it took longer time for the complete nitrate removal. In order to decrease the initial oxidation-reduction potential and the nitrate-N concentration in the feed stream, the effluent was recycled to the influent stream in the packed-bed reactor. In the case of recycling, the initial oxidation-reduction potential was decreased to 30 mV from 150 mV, and the initial nitrate concentration could be decreased to 85 from 120 mg NO$_3$$\^$-/-N/l. As the result of recycling, the removal rate of nitrate was increased to 91.7% from 49.2%.

본 논문에서는 회분식 반응기에서 초기 산화환원전위가 +40 mV에서 -70 mV으로 낮아짐에 따라 탈질 속도는 1.25 mg/min에서 3.33 mg/min으로 증가하였고, 또한 회분식 반응기에서 질산성질소의 농도가 200 mg/1까지 증가할수록 nitrite의 축적없이 탈질 속도가 초기 농도에 비례적으로 증가하였다. 반면, 질산성질소의 농도가 400 mg/1가 되면 탈질 속도의 변화는 없으나 nitrite의 축적이 발생하기 시작하였으며, 질산성질소의 농도가 1,000 mg/l로 증가할 경우에는 많은 양의 nitrite가 축적이 되어 탈질의 저해가 발생하여 탈질 속도가 감소하였다. 회분식 반응기의 결과를 바탕으로, 충전탑식 반응기에서 유입수의 초기 산화환원전위를 낮추기 위하여 유출수를 재순환시킨 결과, 유입수의 초기 산화화원전위를 150 mV에서 30 mV로 낮출 수 있었고, 유입수의 초기 질산성질소의 농도를 120 mg/l에서 85 mg/l까지 낮출 수 있었다. 그 결과 충전탑식 반응기에서 유출되는 질산성질소의 농도가 재순환을 하기 전에는 약 61 mg/l이었으나, 유출수의 재순환으로 질산성질소의 농도를 10 mg/l까지 낮출 수 있었고, 질산 성질소의 제거율을 49.2%에서 91.7%로 증가시킬 수 있었다.
