This study was carried out to develop the technique for manufacturing activated carbon from livestock manure and to analyse it's odor absorptiveness. Each of layer manure(LM), litter from broiler house(BL) and litter from dairy barn(DL), compost from layer manure(LC) and pig manure(PC), and coconut shell(CS) was used as a raw material. Activated carbon by grinding the raw material, adding the coal tar as a binder, palletizing, drying, heating with $N_2$ gas at $400^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, activating by reaction with steam at a temperature of $750^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Moisture contents of raw material was 44.9% in layer compost, 71.9% in layer manure, 24.4% in broiler litter, 47% in pig manure compost and 33.9% in dairy litter. Volatile matter in layer compost, layer manure, broiler litter, pig manure compost and dairy litter was 18.8%, 31.0%, 49.8%, 22.3% and 11.6%, respectively. Surface area(BET) of activated carbon from layer compost, layer manure, broiler litter, pig manure compost, dairy litter and coconut shell was 259.8, 209.8, 63.5, 442.3, 812.9 and $1,040\;m^2/g$, respectively. Activated carbon made by livestock manure or litter were examined with scanning electron microscope, and micropore was a type of sponge like particles honeycombed with chambers. Pore size of activated carbon was ranged from 0.39 to $5.02\;{\AA}$, but coconut shell was $0.30\;{\AA}$. Iodine absorptiveness of activated carbon from livestock manure was $530{\sim}580mg/g$. But activated carbon made by coconut shell was 1000 mg/g. Each activated carbon could absorb odor compound very well. Absorptiveness of activated carbon from layer manure for hydrogen sulfide and trimethyl amino was 74.5% and 73.9% at the accumulated flux of 60,000 ml, but, in the case of ammonia was only 15.2% at the accumulated flux of 10,000 ml

In the later part of 1980's, a great emphasis has been placed on the treatment issues of livestock wastes due to the continuous increase in consumption of livestock and meat products. Continued economic development for three decades has enhanced the nationally general level of life for the purpose of exit out of absolute poverty, thus accompanied with people's demand for a quality of environment beyond the traditional economic factors over times. Such an individual or collective demand for environment of life has been primarily focussed and argued on only rural environment in the early development periods. In perspective of clean water supply and security for urban area, however, it is more important to treat livestock wastes in the oriented-sustainable environment than in the conventional ways without working on environment degradation. Livestock wastes composed of the high-concentrated organic matter ought to be controlled and treated in sound ways, if not, which on one hand may result in pollution of underground water, surface water and a nasty smell, and on the other hand also may cause people to file a civil petition. Therefore on the research paper, reviewing occurrence of livestock waste and situation of treatment in details, through scrutinizing the government regulation and financing or subsidizing for it, author intends to find out the initiative of 'resourcefication' of treating of livestock wastes in the environmental soundness and efficiency

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Lactobacillus brevis (3.4×108 CFU/g) supplementation on growth performance, DM and N digestibilities, blood cell counts and fecal odor emission compounds in growing pigs. Ninety six crossbred [(Landrace×Yorkshire)×Duroc] pigs with an initial BW of 24.60±1.28kg were used for 42-d feeding trial according to a completely randomized design. Three corn- soybean meal based dietary treatments included: 1) CON (basal diet); 2) LB1 (basal diet + Lactobacillus brevis 0.2%) and 3) LB2 (basal diet+Lactobacillus brevis 0.4%). There were three dietary treatments with eight replicate pens per treatment and four pigs per pen. Through the entire experimental period, ADG, ADFI and gain/feed had no significant differences among treatments(P>0.05). Nitrogen digestibility was increased in LB1 and LB2 treatments compared to CON treatment (linear effect, P<0.05), however, DM digestibility had no significant difference among all the treatments (P>0.05). The WBC, RBC and lymphocyte concentrations in whole blood were not affected by treatments (P>0.05). Fecal NH3N and H2S concentrations were significant decreased in LB2 treatment compared to CON treatment (linear effect, P<0.05). Fecal VFA (acetic acid and propionic acid) concentration was also reduced in LB2 treatment compared to CON treatment (linear effect, P<0.05). In conclusion, Lactobacillus brevis (3.4×108 CFU/g) supplementation at the level of 0.4% can improve nitrogen digestibility and decrease the concentrations of fecal odor emission compounds in growing pigs.

Sulfur-oxidizing, ammonium-oxidizing, and nitrogen-oxidizing media were used to isolate bacteria to degrade malodor gas effectively in piggery manure or soil. Twelve different strains were isolated: Paenibacillus amylolyticus, Rhodococcus jostii, Rhodococcus qingshengii, Rhodococcus opacus, Alcaligenes faecalis, Alcaligenes faecalis, Kastia adipate, Kastia adipata, Microbacterium oxydans, Halomonas campisalis, Acinetobacter oleivorans, and Micrococcus luteus. By inoculating each strain in the piggery liquid manure by 1%, the pH in most strain treatments was maintained at 8.0. Total bacterial counts were maintained at 7.3~7.9 log CFU/ml until 15 days, and then they dropped dramatically down to 5.1~5.5 log CFU/ml. On the 30th day, the treatment group inoculated with Rhodococcus opacus SK2659 showed a relatively high level of ammonium nitrogen removal, which was 39% of that of the control group. When Rhodococcus opacus SK2659 was inoculated, H2S concentration after 100 days was 3.23% compared with the control (no inoculation), suggesting that Rhodococcus opacus SK2659 is an excellent strain for removing malodor gas. The gas production of the treatments was lower than that of the control. The total accumulated amount of gas production in most strain treatments was a quarter of the gas production compared to the control throughout the experimental periods. Acinetobacter oleivorans SK2675 showed the lowest level at 12.39% compared to the control in gas production. In conclusion, the use of mixture strains, such as Rhodococcus opacus SK2659 and Acinetobacter oleivorans SK2675 isolated in this study could increase the efficacy of malodor gas reduction in the biological treatment of piggery manure.

Establishment of the LFQC (Liquid Fertilizer Quality Certification) system is very urgent issue for recycling livestock manure as renewable resources in Korea faced with environmental problem of manure application to land due to intensive livestock farming. In this study, we investigated relevant laws and regulations on livestock manure fertilizer, certifications of eco-friendly agricultural products, government policies on livestock manure management to establish reasonable direction of Korean LFQC (Liquid Fertilizer Quality Certification) system. As a result from this study, the liquid fertilizers in 'LFQC' system could be classified as three levels according to the usage patterns in field; 1st. Individual Farm Level (IFL), 2nd. Joint Farm Level (JFL), and 3rd. Commercial Level (CML). And finally, we found some characteristics in 'Main Level-Grading Factors' of liquid fertilizer such as fertilizing value, harmfulness, stability, uniformity, economic effect, storage potential, commercial value, functionality. Those items were considered to be the key factors for the establishment of 'LFQC' system. More research on 'Evaluation Standards' for concrete guideline and on the 'Main Level-Grading Factors' be needed to complete Korean LFQC system.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of odor removal such as $NH_3$, volatile organic acid (VOA) during the pig manure composting using of the Pyroligneous acid liquor (PAL). The odor removal efficiencies were evaluated throughout the dilution rates (${\times}0$, ${\times}100$, ${\times}300$) of PAL. The results of the study are as followings. $NH_3$ content in all treatments (volume 10L) was approximately 8 mg/kg in compost piles on the first day. In the case of control treatment, it was increased by 46 mg/kg within 10 days and was not detected after 25 days. In contrast, those levels in PA-100 and PA-300 treatments were similar values at 38 mg/kg within 6 days and decreased after 15 days. And GC. equipment was used to analyze the volatile organic acids (acetic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, isovaleric aicd, 2,3-methylbutyric aicd, and propionic acid). The concentration of acetic acid and butyric acid were the higher than other VOAs during the initial composting day and sharply declined after 15 days. The VOAs in the control treatment were detected until 40 days, but PA-100 and PA-300 treatments were not measured after 15 days. The PA-100 in all treatments was the most effective treatment for $NH_3$ gas and VOAs reduction during composting. In addition, these studies for the odor reduction in compost manufacture process would have to research on more effective methods for the PAL utilization in agro-biological aspects.

J 호소는 1942년도에 충청남도 아산시 선장면에 설치된 농업용 저수지로서, 현재 COD, TN, TP 모두 등급외의 수질상태를 보이고 있다. J 호소 상류 유역은 축산농가가 다수 위치하고 있으며, 설치된 지 70년이 지난 노후화된 저수지로 고농도의 오염물질 유입뿐만 아니라 호소 바닥의 오염 퇴적물에 의한 내부 부하가 중요한 수질오염원이 되고 있다. 호소의 수질은 현재 COD 10.6~16.5 mg/L, Chl-a $75mg/m^3$ 이상으로 수질오염도가 매우 높으며, 특히 늦봄에서 초가을까지 외기온도 상승 및 저수율 저하와 함께 부영양화 증가, 녹조 대발생 등으로 호 내 물고기 대량 폐사 및 악취발생 등으로 민원이 다수 발생하고 있다. 이러한 현상의 직접적인 원인은 수중의 DO 농도 결핍이며, 따라서 수중의 DO 농도를 일정수준 이상으로 유지시켜 주는 것은 호소 수질관리를 위해 매우 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 공기 중의 산소를 호소 수체에 포기시켜 주는 마이크로버블 발생장치를 J 저수지에 설치하여 수체의 DO 농도 변화 등을 분석하였고, 본 연구결과는 농업용 호소의 수질개선을 위한 기술개발 및 계획수립의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 마이크로버블 포기장치는 수심이 약 4m 되는 저수지 제방 근처에 100m 간격으로 총 3지점에 설치하였다. 버블 발생기는 기액 2상류 선회형 마이크로 버블 발생장치로 3지점에 각 1set(1set에 3기로 구성)씩 구성하여 저수지 바닥 층에서 상부로 1m 떨어진 지점에 고정식으로 설치하였다. 총 공기흡입량은 380 LPM이며, 사용동력은 12.2kW를 사용하였다. 마이크로 버블 포기장치 설치 후 호 내 DO 농도 변화를 평가하기 위하여 호소 전체에 18개 지점을 선정하여 수심 50cm 간격으로 DO 농도를 측정하였다. 가동 전에는 DO 평균농도가 표층에서는 약 7.7mg/L로 나타났고, 수심에 따라 거의 수직적으로 감소하여 바닥층에서는 약 0.2mg/L로 거의 무산소 상태를 보이고 있었다. 마이크로 버블 가동 2주 후에는 수심 3m까지의 모든 수층에서 DO 농도가 약 6.0mg/L 이상을 보였고, 바닥층에서는 DO 약 3.4mg/의 농도를 나타내었다. 가동 3주 후에도 2주 후와 비슷한 수치를 보이고 있었으나 가동 4주가 지나면서부터는 호소 바닥층(수심 3.5m)에서도 DO 농도가 7.0mg/L 이상의 높은 농도를 유지하는 것으로 조사되었다. 호소 저층에서 호기성 상태의 지속적 유지는 퇴적 오염물질이 수층으로 용출되는 것을 예방할 수 있으므로 마이크로버블을 잘 활용하면 호소의 악취제거 및 수질개선에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

국제협약에 따라 2012년부터 유기성폐기물의 해양배출이 금지됨에 따라 환경문제를 유발하는 축산분뇨, 음식물쓰레기, 농축산 폐기물 등의 처리가 곤란한 실정이다. 그러나 최근 저탄소 녹색성장으로 정부가 폐자원 에너지화에 관심을 기울이면서 위의 폐기물을 바이오가스로 전환하는 바이오가스 플랜트(Biogas Plant, BGP)의 이용이 보다 활성화 될 전망이다[1]. 이 바이오가스 처리방법에서 유기물은 메탄가스로 배출되고[2], 나머지 영양성분들(질소, 인산, 칼륨 등)은 모두 소화액에 남아있으므로[3] 이들은 친환경농업에서 필요한 액비로도 활용이 가능하며, 혐기소화 처리방법은 일반적인 가축분뇨 처리과정에서 발생되는 악취문제도 해결할 수 있는 장점 또한 가지고 있다. BGP는 유기성 폐기물에서 혐기성소화를 통해 바이오가스를 만드는 장점이 있는 반면, 가스를 만들고 남은 소화액은 액비로 활용이 가능하지만, 액비로 활용이 불가능할 경우 악성 폐수로 그 처리가 매우 까다로운 단점이 있다. 일반적인 생물학적인 폐수처리방법으로는 처리가 곤란하며, 환경기준을 맞추도록 처리하는데 많은 비용이 소요된다. 이러한 폐액처리를 위해 공정의 단순화와 높은 처리 효율[4]을 가지면서, 액비 또는 정화처리공정이 가능한 방법으로서 분리막공정이 바람직하나, BGP 발생폐액의 성상이 고농도의 오염물질을 함유하고 있어 적용이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 보안할 수 있는 와류발생형 막모듈을 이용하여 Biogas Plant의 발생폐수에 대하여 분리막을 이용한 효과적인 처리공정을 개발하고 그에 따른 최적의 조건을 찾는 연구를 하고자 한다. 와류발생형 막모듈을 막과 막 사이에 와류를 발생시킴으로써 막에 전단력을 가하여 막의 가장 큰 단점인 막오염을 줄이는 방법으로 기존의 막모듈과 큰 차이가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 분리막 모듈[5]과 와류발생형 막모듈의 차이를 실험을 통해 확인하며, 막에 가해지는 압력, 막을 통과하는 유량 등의 차이를 두어 최적조건을 탐색하였다.
