Evaluation of Resource Recovery from Sorted Waste by MBT System

This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of resource recovery for municipal solid waste(MSW) that sorted by a MBT system. First, physical property of MSW was similar to wastes carried into Sudokown landfill site. However, moisture of MSW was little higher than that. As a result of BMP test using organic fraction of MSW(OFMSWs), approximately 60 ~ 80 mL $CH_4/g$-VS of methane was occurred. Compared to the other studies, the value of methane is lower. It seems to be caused that high ratio of vinyl/plastic in OFMSWs. The other BMP test using sample of MBT system located in Sudokwon landfill was conducted each physical properties. According to the result of experiment, food waste makes 193 mL $CH_4/g$-VS, and paper is 102 mL $CH_4/g$-VS. However, there was not methane production in vinyl and rubber. Additionally, others that can't sort no more show 30 m $CH_4L/g$-VS of methane production. From the result of experimental data OFMSWs has high fraction of vinyl, rubber and other substance that difficult for biodegradation. Therefore it is need to sort of them.

MBT시스템에 의해 선별(選別)된 생활폐기물(生活廢棄物)의 자원화(資源化) 평가(評價)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

본 연구는 Mechanical Biological Treatment system(이하 MBT system)에서 선별된 생활폐기물의 에너지회수 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 투입 생활폐기물의 성상분석 결과 수도권매립지에 반입되는 폐기물과 성상이 유사하였으며, 함수율은 다소 높은 값을 나타내었다. 도시고형유기성폐기물에 대해 BMP(Biochemical Methane Potential) test를 실시한 결과 60 ~ 80 mL $CH_4/g$-VS의 메탄($CH_4$)가스가 발생하여 문헌 등에서 보고된 메탄발생량에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었는데 비닐플라스틱류의 비중이 높았기 때문으로 추측된다. 수도권매립지에 설치된 MBT system에서 선별된 유기성폐기물을 각 성분별로 BMP Test를 실시한 결과 음식폐기물 및 종이류에서는 각각 193, 102 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였으나 비닐, 고무에서는 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 선별이 어려운 others에서는 매우 낮은 30 mL $CH_4/g$-VS 수준의 메탄이 발생하였다. 이로 미루어볼 때 유기성폐기물에서 비닐플라스틱, 고무류의 선별이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
