This study was performed to find the recycling performance and to provide design data during recycle solid composting system to reduce bulking agent cost, Dairy manure amended with rice hulls and recycled compost was composted in a laboratory -scale vessel by continuous aeration for 10 days. The temperature and ammonia emission variations according to the ratios of bulking agents during the primary aeration stage were surveyed. Also, the influence of fresh compost quality on the recycling performance were anlayzed. While recycled composting system were operatured. The temperature in compost was maintained in the range of 40∼60$^{\circ}C$ needed for biodegradation and death of pathogenic organisms, but the ammonia emission was different by the ratios of recycled compost. The ammonia emission increased due to the low C/N ratio(17.6), high pH value(8.1) of the recycled compost.

In Korea, 51,013 thousand tons of livestock manure was generated in 2018. A total of 46,530 thousand tons, which is 91.2% of the total amount of livestock manure generated, was treated by composting(40,647 thousand tons) or liquid fertilization(5,884 thousand tons) method. At present, the policy of livestock manure treatment in Korea is to make livestock manure into organic fertilizer(compost, liquid fertilizer) and then to applicate it on agricultural land. And this policy is very effective in terms of livestock manure treatment and nutrient recycling. However, considering the steadily declining farmland area for decades, the use of livestock manure compost could be limited in the future. There is also concern that local nutrient overloading, nutrient management regulation, and restrictions on the number of livestock may become serious problem for livestock manure treatment. In addition, there are some opinions that nutrient derived from livestock manure may flow into tributaries of major dams. In recent years, there has been a suspicion that fine dust may be generated from livestock manure compost. In recent years, the use of livestock manure fertilizer has been rapidly increasing, there is a growing demand of the development of new technologies for livestock manure treatment. Especially, cow excretes a larger amount of manure than other livestock, so that the efficiency of development of new technology for cow manure treatment will be high. Therefore, in this study, the combustion characteristics of cow manure pellet were investigated in order to analyzed whether cow manure could be used as source of solid fuel. During the combustion test, the weight loss of the cow manure pellet began to increase when the temperature of the combustion chamber reached $300^{\circ}C$. The ratio of $H_2$, $CH_4$, CO in the pyrolysis gas produced in the pyrolysis process of cow manure pellet were 6.65~11.62%, 0.58~1.54 and 11.47~14.07%, respectively.

This study was conducted to develope the new solid separating system which can be efficiently and economically removed the solid parts in high pollutants concentration of pig slurry. The pollutants concentration, BOD$_{5}$ , COD and SS of the slurry used in this study was 15,990($\pm$2,389)mg/l, 20,004($\pm$5,512)mg/l and 26,486($\pm$5,935)mg/l, respectively. After removal of solid part in slurry, the pollutants concentration, BOD$_{5}$, COD and SS was change into 5,617($\pm$690)mg/l, 5,553($\pm$633)mg/land 1,456($\pm$341)mg/l, respectively in the Fixed biological membrane tank. The reduction of the pollutants concentration of suspend liquid through membrane will be allowed to greatly improve the water purification by an Activated sludge method. This separating system consisted of a temporary storage, a circulating tank and a Fixed Biological membrane tank. A temporary storage which has a draining system of screw type and an aeration device played a tremendous role in draining the solid by filled an aeration of 0.3 l/min. A Fixed Biological membrane tank of which a styrofoam filled in a 2/3 volume as a Biological media was fixed by a stainless steel net (pore size : 0.5mm) to separate the liquid layer of influx in them. The separating system efficiency factors were the speed of screw motor, cycle number of slurries in a circulating tank and moisture contents of solid effluent through the screw path. Although the pollutants concentration was very variable in temporary storage, the final concentration of $BOD_5$ and SS, except COD of the suspended liquid in a Fixed biological membrane were not different regardless of cycle number of a circulating tank. Moisture contents of effluent from temporary storage was 73% under the speed 1 ppm of screw motor and 62% under the 1/4rpm of it.

2012년 가축분뇨 해양투기가 전면 금지됨에 따라 가축분뇨의 자원화의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 하지만 현재 가축분뇨 발생량의 일부는 퇴비화로 농경지로 환원되고 있으며, 지역에 따라 일부 지역에서는 농경지면적 대비 가축분뇨 필요량을 초과하는 것으로 나타나, 산림지 및 조림지역으로의 가축분뇨 환원이 새로운 대안중 하나로 대두되고 있다. 특히, SCB (Slurry Composting and Biofiltration) 액비는 성분이 비교적 균질하고 저농도이며 냄새가 없어 산림유역에 시비가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 하지만, 액비 시비량에 따라 수분 및 영양성분 수지 불균형 등을 초래하여 토양에 축적될 우려가 있고, 지하수로 침출될 가능성이 있어 이에 대한 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산림유역 중 백합나무 조림지인 바이오순환림과 포플러 조림지인 유휴지에 SCB액비를 시용하였을 때 지하수에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 매주 지하수 수질 모니터링을 실시하였다. 특히, 청색증 등을 유발시켜 지하수 오염의 지표인 질산성질소를 중심으로 지하수 수질 분석을 하였으며 질산성질소의 오염원을 판단하기 위하여 질소 동위원소비를 분석하였다. 시험림의 물리적 특성이 다른 두 산림유역에서의 SCB액비 시용에 따른 지하수 모니터링 결과는 향후 지속적인 모니터링이 이루어진다면 산림지에서 SCB액비 시용에 따른 수질영향 평가 및 모델링 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Integration of crop-livestock farming has been a problem-solving mode for abatement of environmental pollution and recovery of resources in recent years. The objectives of this study were 1) to suggest the customized integration of crop-livestock farming model reflecting the regional characteristics through in-depth analysis of case study and 2) to analyze the livestock nutrients flow in terms of three primary elements as nitrogen(N), phosphorous(P), and potassium(K). The personal interview and survey were carried out in 2012 for a total of 161 farms from four different regions(NS, NW, JJ, YC) in South Korea. The mass balance analysis was used to suggest and evaluate the models for two sites(JJ and YC). The results showed that NS and NW sites produced relatively more livestock manure than the sites of YC and JJ because of the regional differences in livestock numbers and urbanization. The models were suggested for the site JJ and site YC, and 'two track model(energy and resource recovery)' and 'dispersal type model' were assigned respectively. For the nutrient flows, the releasing P and K with new models had increased up to 7%, while N release had decreased down to 15% in both YC and JJ sites compared to the present treatment system. Estimated value showed that there was oversupply of N (719 ton/yr) and $P_2O_5$ (1,269 ton/yr) in YC and deficiency of N (671 ton/yr) and excessive $P_2O_5$ (32 ton/yr) in JJ respectively. Therefore, P runoff has to be considered an eutrophication occurs in rural small stream when an integration of crop-livestock farm system is applied into both sites.

Feces contain nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate, potassium and research of the impact on the environment from feces is very diverse. However, despite the importance of mammals to environment, studies of mammals into the terrestrial ecosystems are rare. Korean water deer (Hydropotes inermis) is an endemic species of Korea and China, and we conducted on factor of plant growth in relation to feces of Korean water deer depending on land use patterns. The analysis of growth, biomass and C/N ratio of Zea mays, amount of feces and land use patterns are strongly affecting the C/N ratio and growth of the Zea mays. The quantity of the feces also influences the growth of plants instead of the land use patterns. Furthermore, the feces of Korean water deer have a lower C/N ratio than that of other animals' feces. Being the process of composting, it is able to serve a suitable fertilizer for a crop growth. In this study, we investigated the impact of feces into the environment in the terrestrial ecosystems and we were able to provide the basic data to the resources of an efficient scheme of animal feces. Further research is needed to quantify the materials amongst the plant, soil and animal, and to understand the relationship ecosystem.

This study was carried out to investigate the feasibility of Multi Process of Aerobic Digestion (MPAD) for recycling of swine manure slurry as fertilizer. MPAD consisted of three kinds of difference process which are thermophilic aerobic oxidation (TAO) system, lime solidification system, and reverse osmosis (R/O) membrane system. TAO system was studied well previously for decade. The chemical composition of the lime-treated solid fertilizer was as like that organic matter 17.4%, moisture 34.1%, N 0.9%, P 1.7%, K 0.3%, Ca 12.7%, and which was expected to be useful as acid soil amendment material. The concentrated liquid material produced by R/O membrane system was also expected as a good fertilizer for crops production and soil fertility improvement.

The compost leachate was dark-colored solution that leaches out of the bottom of the compost pile. The compost leachate was rich in nutrients and can potentially used in plant culture. In the organic production, commercial liquid fertilizer was used to insure the availability of nutrients during the formation of the yield. The cost of supplemental liquid fertilizer could be reduced by developing a fertilizer based on animal fertilizer. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different combination of compost leachate and conventional inorganic solution in hydroponic culture for lettuce growth. Six different treatments were applied. The compost leachate(CL) and nutrient solution(NS) were mixed by six different mixing ratios of 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 60:40%, 80:20 and 100%:0% based on nitrogen content. The chemical nutrient solution was the solution of National Horticulture Research Station for the growth of leaf lettuce. The concentration of nutrient solution was adjusted 1.5 mS/cm in EC. The compost leachate was low in phosphorus(P), calcium(Ca), magnesium(Mg), but rich in potassium(K). The plant height of lettuce treated with CL 20+NS 80% was similar with 100% NS of control plot. Plant height was highest in the plot of CL 20+NS 80%. The treatment of 100% compost leachate was lowest in the growth characteristics of leaf lettuce. Number of leaf was very low in 100% compost leachate compared with plot of chemical nutrient solution. In the beginning of growth stage, SPAD value was reduced in plot treated with CL100%, but CL20+NS80% plot was higher compared to 100% compost leachate. SPAD value of leaf lettuce leaves was decreased as the amount of CL was increased. The dry weight of lettuce were 107.4, 104.2g in plot of NS 100% and CL 20%+NS80%, respectively. The leaf number and plant weight were decreased at high application plots of compost leachate. The leaf lettuce showed lowest in the plot treated with 100% compost leachate, and the growth of lettuce severely decreased after application of 100% CL treatment. The results showed that compost leachate can be use as liquid fertilizer for the organic hydroponic production. The mixture solution of 20% of compost leachate and 80% of nutrient solution could be used as a nutrition solution in hydroponic culture of leaf lettuce. Our studies have shown that is possible to produce using compost leachate, although growth is slower than when using a conventional inorganic hydroponic solution.

시설재배지의 토양화학성 변화는 작물재배 기간 시비한 화학비료에서 유래된 무기성분 뿐만아니라, 가축분퇴비의 질소성분의 토양잔류량이 요소비료 보다 9.4배 많아 염류집적 주 요인이라는 보고('05 경기도)가 시사하는 봐와 같이 유기자원으로 시용하는 가축분 등의 부산물비료의 무기화에서 유래된 비료성분이 토양염류집적 및 토양환경악화에 더 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 시설재배지의 유기물자원 시용기준이 토양의 특성에 관계 없이 작물에 따라 양적인 시험성적이 주로되어 있으며, 토양검정에 의한 시용기준도 유기물함량에 따라 볏짚, 우분, 돈분 및 계분으로 돠어 있다. 일반노지와 달리 시설재배지에서는 유기물함량이 토양의 비옥도 및 작물생육에 영향을 미치는 것 보다는 토양의 전기전도도(EC)가 더 중요한 작물생육 조건이 될 수 있다. 따라서 토양의 특성에 따라 물질순환에 의한 유기자원 시용기준으로 개선할 필요성이 있다. 시설재배지의 장기적인 토양관리를 위하여 유기물자원에 의한 토양환경 개선 효과를 구명하고자. 무처리, 가축분부산 물비료 관행 시용 기준 대비 볏짚 등 5개의 유기자원을 토양의 무기태질소 함량 대비 유기자원의 탄소함량을 C/N율 10 조절량을 시용하여 시험하였고, 또한 토양의 전기전도도(EC)가 상이한 3개( <2.0 dS/m, 2.0~6.0 dS/m, 6.0 dS/m<)토양에 유기물자원(우드칩)을 C/N율 10, 20, 30 조절하여 수박을 시험작물로 비닐하우스에서 재배하여 수행하였다. 시험 후 토양의 전기전도도(EC)는 시험 전에 비하여 시험 후 토양에서 가축분부산물비료는7% 증가되었으나 유기물자원 처리는 26~33% 경감되는 효과가 있었다. 수박의 과중은 무처리를 제외하고 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 유기물자원 C/N율 조절간에는 시험전 토양의 EC에 따라 차이가 있어 C/N 10 조절에서는 26~44%, C/N 20 조절에서는 30~51%, C/N 30 조절에서는 27~48% 경감효과가 있었으며, 3토양의 평균 토양EC 경감율은 C/N 10, 20, 30 조절에서 각각 34, 39 및 38 % 이었다. 수박의 생육 및 과중은 토양의 C/N율 조절간에는 차이가 없었으나, 토양의 EC 간에는 토양의 EC가 6.0dS/m 이상 토양에서 가장 낮았다. 따라서 탄소원의 유기자원을 C/N율 조절에 의한 시용기준 개선으로 토양의 무기태질소와 토양의 전기전도도(EC)를 경감시켜 친환경적 토양관리와 수박의 수량과 품질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 평가되었다.
