Abstract

Characteristics of hydrogen production from various food wastes in anaerobic batch reactors were evaluated to assess the energy potential of organic wastes. Organic wastes which were used in this study were scallion as vegetable, apple as fruit, rice as grain and pork as meat. Ultimate hydrogen yield of scallion, apple, rice and pork were 0.46, 0.47, 0.62 and $0.05mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose$, respectively. On the other hand, hydrogen production rates of scallion, apple, rice and pork were 0.013, 0.021, 0.014 and $0.005mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose/h$, respectively. These results indicated that anaerobic hydrogen fermentation from food waste except for meat was effective in removing organic material as well as producing renewable energy. Volatile fatty acids increased as hydraulic retention time was increased. In the hydrogen fermentation, acidification degree of rice was measured as the highest rate of 75.8% whereas pork was found as the lowest rate of 35.2%.

혐기성 회분식 반응조를 이용하여 다양한 유기성 폐기물의 에너지화 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 수소발생 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 채소류는 파, 과일류는 사과, 곡류는 쌀밥 그리고 육류로는 돼지고기를 사용하였다. 파, 사과, 쌀밥 및 돼지고기의 최종 수소 수율은 각각 0.46, 0.47, 0.62 및 $0.05mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose$로 나타났다. 수소 발생율은 파, 사과, 쌀밥 및 돼지고기에서 각각 0.013, 0.021, 0.014 및 $0.005mol\;H_2/mol\;hexose/h$로 평가되었다. 따라서 돼지고기를 제외한 음식폐기물의 혐기성 수소 발효는 재생에너지 생산뿐만 아니라, 유기물의 제거에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 휘발성 지방산은 수리학적 체류시간이 증가함에 따라 높게 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 수소 발효시 산발효 효율은 쌀밥이 75.8%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 돼지고기는 35.2%로 가장 낮게 나타났다.
