Abstract

This study was performed to examine the effect of zinc on the biodegradability, nitrification, denitrification and oxygen uptake rate (OUR) using batch reactor and continuous flow stirred tank reactor (CSTR) of anaerobic/anoxic/oxic ($A^2/O$). The results of this study can be summarized as follows. In the case of the effect of zinc on organic treatment, zinc had no effect up to 12 mg/L with batch reactor but biodegradability was lowered when it was above 3.0 mg/L with CSTR. Concerning the case on nitrification and removal of nitrogen, nitrification rate was lowered when zinc was above 6.0 mg/L with batch reactor and removal rate of nitrogen was lowered when zinc was above 3.0 mg/L with CSTR. Removal rate of phosphorus was lowered when it was above 6.0 mg/L zinc with batch reactor and above 3.0 mg/L zinc with CSTR. In the case of OUR, it decreased as microbial activity was affected when zinc concentration was above 3.0 mg/L in CSTR.

본 연구에서는 회분식 실험 및 $A^2/O$ 공법의 연속식 실험으로 아연이 생분해, 산소 소모율, 질산화 및 탈질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 아연 영향 실험 결과 유기물 분해는 회분식 실험의 경우 아연 농도 12 mg/L까지 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 연속식 실험의 경우 아연 농도 3.0 mg/L 이상일 때 생분해성이 낮아졌다. 질산화 및 질소 제거의 경우 회분식은 아연 농도 6.0 mg/L 이상일 때 질산화율이 낮아졌으며, 연속식의 경우 아연 농도 3.0 mg/L 이상일 때는 질소 제거율이 낮아졌다. 인 제거의 경우 회분식은 아연 농도 6.0 mg/L, 연속식은 아연 농도 3.0 mg/L 이상일때 인 제거율이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 산소 소모율의 경우 연속식의 아연 농도가 3.0 mg/L 이상이면 미생물 활성에 영향을 주어 산소 소모율이 낮아졌다.
