초록

현대의 집적된 산업 사회에서 자정능력을 초과하여 발생하는 막대한 양의 유기성폐자원은 수질, 토양, 대기 등 총체적인 환경오염을 유발하는 처리 곤란 물질로 전락하였고, 화석연료의 지속적인 사용에 따른 온실가스의 방출은 지구온난화를 촉진시켰다. 개발된 회분식 공정을 적용하는 음식물쓰레기 수소발효에서, 세계 최초로 수소 전환율과 초기 및 운전 pH와의 관계를 수학적으로 표현하였고, 동시에 최적화하였다. 최적 초기 및 운전 pH는 각각 7.50, 6.01이었다. 축산폐수를 음식물쓰레기의 수소발효에 보조기질로 첨가 시 pH 제어를 위해 요구되는 알칼리량을 감소시킴과 동시에 수소발생률도 크게 증대시킬 수 있음을 관찰할 수 있었다.

In the modern industrial society, huge amount of organic wastes have exceeded the society's self-cleaning capability, caused pollution of the whole environment, including water quality, soil, and the air, and become a big burden of waste treatment. Moreover, the emission of green house gases brought by the continual combustion of fossil fuels has facilitated the global warming. The simultaneous effect of initial and operational pH on $H_2$ yield was expressed using mathematical equation and optimized. The optimal initial and cultivation pH was 7.50 and 6.01, respectively. Addition of livestock wastewater to food waste substantially decreased the amount of alkali requirement and also improved the $H_2$ fermentation performance.
