Abstract

The aim of this study is the development of biological removal process of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in odor gas, which is generated from the waste food recycling process. To develop the removal process of odor gas, MEK, the selection of proper biofilter support was carried out. When the biofilter equipment was passed by synthetic odor gas composed of 250 ppm of MEK, the maximum removal was achieved to $586.6g-MEK/m^3\;hr$ for polypropylene fibril as support. Under the same experimental conditions, the maximum removal in polyurethane support was obtained to $359.7 g-MEK/m^3\;hr$. Finally, the maximum removal in volcanic stone support was $56.2g-MEK/m^3\;hr$.

본 악취제거용 바이오필터에 필요한 담체에 대하여 실험한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 합성악취가스의 조성이 MEK 250 ppm을 바이오필터에 통과시켰을 때, 폴리프로필렌 섬유상은 $586.6g-MEK/m^3\;hr$로 실험담체 중에서 최고 제거량을 나타내었다. 폴리우레탄 담체는 $359.7g-MEK/m^3\;hr$을 제거용량을 나타내었다. 화산석 담체의 제거량은 $56.2g-MEK/m^3\;hr$으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 담체 중에서 MEK 제거에 사용될 수 있는 최적의 담체로는 폴리플로필렌 섬유상 담체로 평가되었다.
