Evaluation of Fermentation Extinction Rate of Food Waste according to the Various Types of Wood Chip with Different Pore Structures

Various types of bio wood chip for fermentation-extinction of food waste was investigated by comparing their different pore structure with the performance of weight loss rate and microbial activity. The fermentation-extinction of food waste with bio wood chip was examined by adding 700~1,500g of food waste every day during 15 days to the fermentation-extinction reactor with condition of $30{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ temperature and 30~70% humidity, where 1,500g of bio wood chips were existed. The bio wood chips used in this experiment were categorized into 4 different types; microbial-mixing type(A biochip), macro pore type(B biochip) under $2{\mu}m$ of pore size, micro pore type of wood-chips(C biochip) under $0.1{\mu}m$ of pore size, viscous & sticky type(D biochip). As a result, A, B, C, D bio wood chip exhibited 85%, 63%, 92%, 73% weight loss of food waste with fermentation-extinction. The maximum weight loss of food waste was obtained at the fermentation-extinction experiments by using C bio wood chip. On the other hands, the maximum ratio of ATP to COD and TN was obtained from $3.00{\times}10^{-10}$ and $2.31{\times}10^{-11}$ in the case of C bio wood chip, comparing with other types of bio wood chip. Consequently, the performance of weight loss rate was affected with the micro pore structure of bio wood chip which have an advantage of extensive microbial activity space in the fermentation-extinction of food waste.

목질세편 세공구조에 따른 음식물쓰레기의 발효·소멸효율 평가

음식물쓰레기 발효 소멸용 목질바이오칩의 종류별로 세공구조에 따른 음식물쓰레기 무게 감량율 및 미생물 활동성을 비교분석 하였다. 목질바이오칩을 이용한 음식물쓰레기 발효 소멸실험을 온도 $30{\sim}50^{\circ}C$, 습도 30~70% 조건의 발효 소멸 반응조에 15일간 매일 700~1,500g의 음식물쓰레기를 투입하며 실시하였다. 이 때 1,500g의 목질바이오칩을 발효 소멸 반응조에 초기에 투입하였다. 실험에 사용한 목질바이오칩의 세공구조는 미생물 혼합형(A 바이오칩), $2{\mu}m$ 마크로 세공형(B biochip), $0.1{\mu}m$ 미세공형(C 바이오칩), 점성구조형(D 바이오칩)으로 4가지 유형이었다. 실험결과, A, B, C, D 바이오칩별 발효 소멸에 의한 음식물쓰레기 무게감량율은 각각 85%, 63%, 92%, 73%이었고, C 바이오칩의 경우가 음식물쓰레기 감량율 92%로 최고값을 나타내었다. 또한, C 바이오칩은 ATP/COD $3.00{\times}10^{-10}$, ATP/TN $2.31{\times}10^{-11}$로 상대적으로 타 종류의 바이오칩보다 높은 결과를 나타내었다. 이는 발효 소멸반응에서 발생되는 미생물의 서식지를 충분히 제공하여 ATP/COD 및 ATP/TN이 높아졌고 미생물의 활동성이 강화되어 발효 소멸반응이 원활하게 진행된 결과에 기인하는 것으로 분석되었다.
