Abstract
This study was carried out for 20 days in a bio-drying batch reactor under the blowing conditions of 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, and $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$ in order to optimize the operating conditions for the bio-drying of food wastes. The decomposition rate of organic matter during the bio-drying operation period was analyzed using modified Gompertz model. The maximum organic degradation (P) was 2.31, 2.52, 2.27 and 1.88 kg at air flow rates of 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$, and the maximum organic degradation rate was 0.33, 0.45, 0.28, and 0.18 kg/day at 1.00, 1.25 and $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$, respectively, showing excellent organic decomposition efficiency at a air flow rate of $1.00L/min{\cdot}kg$. The lag growth phase time (${\lambda}$) of the bio-drying reactor was 2.10, 1.48, 1.15, and 1.06 days at 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$, respectively. The water removal rate in the operation of bio-drying reactor of food waste increased with the increase of air flow rate from the early stage of bio-drying to the middle stage, and the highest water removal rate was observed at the air flow rate of $1.00L/min{\cdot}kg$ at the end of bio-drying. The optimum air flow rate condition of bio-drying reactor was $1.00L/min{\cdot}kg$.
