본 논문은 음식물류폐기물의 사료화 및 퇴비화 방법이 독성, 염분, 미숙성 등의 이유로 처리 여건이 어려운 데 대하여, 자체 처리열원으로 활용하여 경제성을 높이고 탈리액 처리 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 2011년부터 유기성 폐기물이 해양투기가 금지됨에 따라 탈리액의 처리문제는 해결해야만 하는 문제로 제기되었으며, 2007년부터 시행되고 있는 함수율 95% 유지 조건은 새로운 처리비용의 증가로 이어졌다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법은 음식물류폐기물을 건조 후 자체 열원으로 사용하여 연료비를 획기적으로 줄이고, 탈리액 대신 경제적 효용가치가 있는 응축수를 만들어 해양투기에 의한 비용부담을 없애는 방법이며, 이전의 회분식 방법을 연속처리할 수 있도록 개량한 방법을 제시한다. 응축수는 액비로 사용가능하므로 완전 재활용이 가능하다.

음식물류 폐기물은 염분이 물에 잘 녹기 때문에 분쇄 후 용수를 첨가하여 희석하는 방법이 가장 우수한 염분 제거 효과를 나타낸다. 보통 음식물류 폐기물의 양에 비하여 2-3배의 공업용수를 첨가하는 방법을 사용하는데 폐수처리장 부근에 설치되어 탈리액을 폐수와 함께 처리하지 않을 경우 탈리액의 처리가 문제가 된다. 많은 지역의 폐기물 처리장이 하수처리장과 별도의 장소에 설치가 된 경우가 많으므로 물을 소량사용하면서 염분을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 방안이 필요하며 효과적인 파쇄과정을 통하여 $0.3\%$ 미만의 염분 함유율을 달성할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 또한 미성숙 퇴비의 문제점을 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 원적외선 가열을 통한 발효촉진 방안을 제시한다.

본 논문은 가열된 폐식용유를 이용하여 음식물류폐기물에 포함된 수분을 증발시키고 고형성분을 익혀 사료, 퇴비 및 연료화 할 수 있는 장치를 소개한다. $200^{\circ}C$의 폐식용유에서 l분 이내에 완전 건조 처리되며 멸균을 시킬 수 있어 효과적이다. 열원은 소각로 열을 재활용할 경우 경제적이다. 탈리액의 해양투기가 금지될 경우 탈리액을 획기적으로 줄이는 대안이라 여겨진다.

This study investigated the effect of varying TS concentration levels using supernatant of food waste. The experiment was performed at varying TS concentration levels ranging from 5% to 10% by a $35^{\circ}C$-mesophilic digestion reactor, dual digestion system with acid and methane fermenters combined. As a result, removal efficiency and stabilization were observed at TS concentration of 7~8%, But the removal efficiency notably decreased at 8% or higher TS level. At a stabilized phase of the reactor, more than $0.3m^3/kg{\cdot}vs$ gas was produced, with phenomena such as salt accumulation and increase of pH level being unnoticed. These results indicate that the increase of anaerobic digestion of food waste supernatant TS content has an effect on reaction and that it is necessary to control and operate concentration within 8%, given that the effect is stronger at 8% or higher.

The treatment characteristics of leachate produced from pretreatment facilities like composting and feeding were investigated in a mesophilic anaerobic treatment. Experiments were performed in two phase which were acidification and methane fermentation. The acidification step was optimized for OLR from 1 to $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ without adding NaOH. As experiment dates became longer, the solubilization ratio of particles increased up to 30% over 70 days. TVA was generated up to maximum 9,970mg HAc/L at OLR of $2kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$. But TVA was generated to minimum 6,519mg HAc/L at OLR of $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$. The acidification ratio was analyzed from 10.9% to 3.8% at OLR of $2kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ and $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ respectively. After 55 days, salt contents in the acid fermenter were accumulated and stabilized at the concentration of 3,150mg/L. Sodium ion($Na^+$) concentration was stabilized at 1,300mg/L. At methane fermentation step, biogas was generated up to 750ml and 937.5ml at the feeding volume of 20ml and 25ml respectively for acid fermented liquid during 25 days. About 80% of total biogas was generated during early 15 days and 95% were generated during 18 days respectively. After 25 days of the BMP test, acetic acid was removed approximately 97% and 98%, in case of those two experimental conditions.

The authors examined the effects of operating parameters on the $H_2$ production by dark fermentation of the wastewater generated from food waste recycling facilities, in short "food waste wastewater (FWW)". Central composite design based response surface methodology was applied to analyze the effect of initial pH (5.5-8.5) and substrate concentration (2-20 g Carbo. COD/L) on $H_2$ production. The experiment was conducted under mesophilic ($35^{\circ}C$) condition and a heat-treated ($90^{\circ}C$ for 20min)anaerobic digester sludge was used as a seeding source. Although there was a little difference in carbohydrate removal, $H_2$ yield was largely affected by the experimental conditions, from 0.38 to 1.77 mol $H_2$/mol $hexose_{added}$. By applying regression analysis, $H_2$ yield was well fitted based on the coded value to a second order polynomial equation (p = 0.0243): Y = $1.78-0.17X_1+0.30X_2+0.37X_1X_2-0.29X_1{^2}-0.35X_2{^2}$, where $X_1$, $X_2$, and Y are pH, substrate concentration (g Carbo. COD/L), and hydrogen yield (mol $H_2$/mol $hexose_{added}$), respectively. The 2-D response surface clearly showed a high inter-dependency between initial pH and substrate concentration, and the role of these two factors was to control the pH during fermentation. According to the statistical optimization, the optimum condition of initial pH and substrate concentration were 7.0 and 13.4 g Carbo. COD/L, respectively, under which predicted $H_2$ yield was 1.84 mol $H_2$/mol $hexose_{added}$. Microbial analysis using 16S rRNA PCR-DGGE showed that $Clostridium$ sp. such as $Clostridium$ $perfringens$, $Clostridium$ $sticklandii$, and $Clostridium$ $bifermentans$ were main $H_2$-producers.
