Abstract

In order to improve the anaerobic digestion efficiency of the sewage sludge, the methane potential of the hydrolysate generated from the hydro-thermal reaction at 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$ was analyzed and the constitutional characteristics of the organic materials were estimated by dividing organic materials of hydro-thermal hydrolysate into easily biodegradable, decomposition resistant, and non-biodegradable organic materials applying the parallel first order kinetics model. The ultimate methane potential of sewage sludge hydro-thermal hydrolysate increased to 0.39, 0.39, 0.40, 0.44, 0.45, and $0.46Nm^3/kg-VS_{added}$ as hydro-thermal reaction temperature increased from 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$. It has been shown that the organic matter of sewage sludge is solubilized to increase the content of biodegradable organic material($VS_B$). The easily degradable organic matter($VS_e$) content was highest at hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 200 and $210^{\circ}C$, and optimum hydro-thermal reaction temperature for organic matter solubilization of sewage sludge was in the range of $200{\sim}210^{\circ}C$. In addition, the amount of biodegradable organic material($VS_B$) and easily biodegradable organic matter ($VS_e$) in the hydrolysate of sewage sludge was the highest at hydro-thermal reaction temperature of $200^{\circ}C$.

본 연구는 하수슬러지의 혐기소화 효율 향상을 위하여 유기물 가용화를 위한 수열탄화 최적 온도조건을 규명하고자 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$의 수열탄화 반응에서 생성된 수열탄화액의 메탄퍼텐셜을 분석하였으며, 병열 1차 반응식(Parallel first order kinetics model)을 적용하여 수열탄화액의 유기물을 이분해성, 분해저항성, 난분해성 유기물로 분획하여 유기물의 구성 특성을 추정하였다. 하수슬러지의 누적 메탄생산곡선은 회분식 혐기반응기 운전 후기까지 지속적으로 증가하는 양상을 보였으며 병열 1차 반응식을 적용하여 합리적인 최종메탄퍼텐셜($B_u$)의 분석이 가능하였다. 하수슬러지 수열탄화액의 최종 메탄퍼텐셜은 수열탄화온도가 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 각각 0.39, 0.39, 0.40, 0.44, 0.45, $0.46Nm^3/kg-VS_{added}$로 증가하였으며, 수열탄화 반응온도의 상승은 하수슬러지의 유기물을 가용화 시켜 생분해성 유기물($VS_B$)의 함량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이분해성 유기물($VS_e$) 함량은 수열탄화 반응온도 $200{\sim}210^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높게 나타나 하수슬러지의 유기물 가용화를 위한 최적 수열탄화 반응온도는 $200{\sim}210^{\circ}C$의 범위로 나타났다. 또한 수열탄화 반응으로 얻어지는 하수슬러지 수열탄화액에서 생분해성 유기물($VS_B$)과 이분해성 유기물($VS_e$)의 양은 수열탄화 반응온도 $200^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높게 나타나 $200^{\circ}C$의 수열탄화 반응온도가 하수슬러지의 가용화에 최적 온도조건으로 판단되었다.
