This study was carried out to know the effect of urea addition for composting of paper mill sludge(PMS). For the purpose. PMSs containing 0%, 1.5%, 3%, and 6% urea were composted at aerated static pile(ASP) for about 80day periods. During the composting, the basic physical, chemical, and biological parameters such as temperature, color. C/N ratio, cation exchange capacity, and phytotoxic test were investigated. From the measurement of the parameters, 0~3% urea-containing PMS except for 6% urea-containing PMS showed to be normally stabilized. Thus among these treatments, 0% and 3% urea-containing PMS were applied at agitated bed system(ABS), a pilot plant of a large scale, to evaluate the possibility of practical use. Considering to the changes of the parameters investigated during composting in ASP and ABS, PMS showed to be successfully stabilized in the two facilities. However, when composted with PMS and urea, even the final PMS compost stabilized for a period enough brought out the bright grayish color. So it may be necessary to add a subsidiary amendments such as animal manure to form brown-colored products.

To evaluate the stability of the compost made from food wastes, which were treated in the fermenting tank for 96 hours and then composted additionally in the static pile, physico-chemical properties and phytotoxicities were investigated. When food wastes were treated in the fermenting tank for 96 hours at $55{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, there is the effect of decreasing about 60% of total weight and improving the storage and the handling. However, it is impossible to make the matured compost in the fermenting tank within 2~3 days, which is the operating condition recommended by manufacturers. To use compost in the agricultural field, after treating food wastes in the fermenting tank for 2~3 days, it needs to compost additionally in the staic pile under the suitable fermenting condition over 6 weeks.

왕겨 활용의 일환으로 파쇄과정을 거쳐 돈분과 혼합하여 퇴비화에 미치는 영향 및 물질의 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 왕겨 입자는 1mm 이하, 1~2mm, 2mm 이상 등 3가지로 분리하여 돈분과 부피비(4 : 3)로 혼합한 후 정체식 퇴비화 시설에 적하하여 $250m^3/hr.$의 송풍기로 10min./day씩 강제송풍을 시켰다. 처리구는 톱밥구(Control), 왕겨구(RH), 1~2mm 왕겨구(MRH), 1mm이하 왕겨구(SRH) 등 4개였으며, 수분함량은 혼합물질의 특성에 따라 차이를 보였다. 온도변화는 퇴비화 시작 3일째부터 온도 상승이 시작되었으며, RH구에서 가장 빨리 $60^{\circ}C$로 상승하였다. 그 후 가장 먼저 온도가 하강하였으며 40일째 온도가 대기온도와 같았다. pH는 모든 처리구에서 10일 이내에서 감소하였지만 그 후 지속적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 유기물은 퇴비화 초기와 후기에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 RH구의 감소율이 다른 처리구에 비해 높았다. 공극률이 높은처리구일수록 암모니아 휘산이 적어 T-N함량이 높았고 C/N율은 20~40사이로 적당하였다. 퇴비화 과정 중 온도 변화는 용적밀도의 차이에 의한 것이며, 화학성분의 함량 차이는 두 물질사이의 혼합량 차이에 의한 것이었다.
