Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of the waste oyster shell powder as the addition agent in bulking sludge thickening of paper manufacturing plant using DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) and gravitational sedimentation. The effect of parameters such as dosage and size distribution of oyster shell were examined. The results showed that the optimum dosage of mixed oyster shell(size range : $\sim250{\mu}m$) was 0.8 g/L. The oyster shell addition of 5.0 g/L in sedimentation process was increased thickening concentration of 3.25 times. When 5.0 g/L of oyster shell was added in DAF process, water content of sludge was decreased from 95.5% to 82.7% in dewatering process using Buchner funnel test device. When size of oyster shell was divided four ranges($\sim53{\mu}m$, $53\sim106{\mu}m$, $106\sim150{\mu}m$, $150\sim250{\mu}m$), optimum size range for the flotation and dewatering was $53\sim106{\mu}m$.
용존공기부상법과 중력침전법을 이용하여 제지공장의 팽화슬러지를 농축에서 폐 굴패각 분말을 첨가제 사용하였을 때의 효과를 조사하였다. 굴패각의 투입량과 크기분포와 같은 인자가 연구되었다. 혼합 굴패각(크기 범위 : $\sim250{\mu}m$)의 최적 투입량은 0.8 g/L인 것으로 나타났다. 침전공정에서 굴패각 5.0 g/L 첨가시 농축 슬러지 농도는 3.25배 증가하였다. 용존공기부상법에서 5.0 g/L의 굴패각 첨가시 Buckler funnel test 장치를 이용하여 측정한 슬러지의 함수율은 95.5%에서 82.7%로 감소되었다. 혼합 굴패각을 4가지 크기($\sim53{\mu}m$, $53\sim106{\mu}m$, $106\sim150{\mu}m$, $150\sim250{\mu}m$)로 나누었을 때 부상과 탈수공정에서 최적 굴패각 입도 범위는$53\sim106{\mu}m$로 나타났다.
