초록

다양한 하 폐수 처리공정 중 혐기성 소화공정은 이산화탄소 배출을 감소시키고 생성되는 메탄을 에너지로서 사용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 혐기성 소화공정의 문제점과 보완점에 대해 살펴보았다. 가수분해과정은 혐기성 소화과정 중 율속단계에 해당하여 소화공정과정을 촉진시키고 바이오가스의 생산을 증가시키기 위하여 다양한 전처리 방법이 개발되어왔다. 현재 혐기성 소화공정을 위한 전처리 방법 중 열처리 방법, 초음파 처리, 기계적 처리방법, 화학적 처리방법 등이 상업적으로 이용되고 있으며, 이들 공정은 슬러지 플록 또는 세포의 파괴를 통해 세포분획물이 생물학적으로 분해될 수 있는 형태로 전환시키는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 과정들 모두는 특정 상황에 따른 장점과 단점을 모두 지니고 있으므로 각 공정과정에 대한 이해와 이를 통한 적용을 통해 특정 슬러지에 적합한 최적의 전처리 공정을 도출해 낼 필요가 있다. 또한 혐기성 소화공정의 효율증대와 경제성 확대를 위한 혐기성 소화공정 개발이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

Although different disposal routes of waste-activated sludge are possible, anaerobic digestion plays an important role for its abilities to further transform organic matter into methane. The potential of using methane as energy source has long been widely recognised and the present paper extensively reviews the principles of anaerobic digestion, the process parameters and hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is recognised as rate-limiting step in the complex digestion process. To accelerate the digestion and enhance the production of biogas, various pre-treatments can be used to improve the rate-limiting hydrolysis. These treatments include mechanical, thermal, chemical and biological interventions to the feedstock. All pre-treatments result in a lysis or disintegration of sludge cells, thus releasing and solubilizing intracellular material into the water phase and transforming refractory organic material into biodegradable species. The reader will finally be guided to extensive discussion for anaerobic digestion processes.
