Abstract

In this study, the efficiency of treatment of moisture and organic matter in food waste was analyzed according to the air blast volume and preheating using the bio-drying method. Te mount of air blast volume and preheating were determined by the evaluation of temperature and CO2 during food waste treatment using the bio-drying method. As a results, the increase in the air blast volume increased the moisture removal efficiency and removal rate, but, lowered the temperature inside the bio-drying by the decease in microbial activity. In order to maintain the activity of microorganisms, it was estimated that it was necessary to inject an appropriate air blast rate according th the properties of the food waste. In this study, the injection of air blast volume at 15L/min was optimal. It was evaluated that the organic matter and water removal rates according to the presence or absence of air preheating, the organic matter removal rate and water removal rate increased by 3-5% when air preheating was not performed. Also, there was no internal aggregation caused by the generation of condensate inside the bio-drying. Therefore, for effective bio-drying of food waste, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate air blast volume to maintain microbial activity, and it is considered that injection through preheating of air is required.

수본 연구에서는 Bio-drying 공법 활용한 공기 송풍량 및 예열에 따른 음식물류 폐기물의 수분 및 유기물의 처리 효율에 대해 분석하였으며, 음식물류 폐기물 처리 시 온도, CO2의 평가를 통해 공기 송풍량 및 공기 예열이 Bio-drying 공법의 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하였다. 그 결과 공기 송풍량의 증가는 수분 제거율 및 제거 속도가 증가하는 결과를 미쳤지만, Bio-drying 내부 온도를 저하 시켜 미생물 활성도의 감소를 야기시켰다. 미생물의 활성도 유지를 위해서는 음식물류 폐기물의 성상에 따른 적정 공기 송풍량을 주입하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단되었으며, 본 연구에서는 15L/min으로 주입하였을 때가 최적이었다. 공기 예열 유무에 따른 유기물 및 수분 제거율을 평가한 결과 공기 예열을 하였을 때가 하지 않았을 때에 비해 유기물 제거율 및 수분 제거율이 3~5% 가량 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 또한 Bio-drying 내부에 응축수 발생에 의한 내부 뭉침 현상도 발견되지 않았다. 따라서, 음식물류 폐기물의 효과적인 Bio-drying을 위해서는 미생물 활성도 유지를 위한 적정 송풍량을 유지 해야 하며, 공기 예열을 통한 주입이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
