To deal with issues from global climate changes, renewable bioenergy has become important. Algae have been regarded as a good resource for biorefinery and bioenergy, and also have potential capability to remove nutrient and non-decompositional pollutants for wastewater advanced treatment. Although algal-bacterial ecological interaction would be a crucially important factor in using algae for wastewater advanced treatment and resource recovery from wastewater, very little is known about ecological interaction between algae and bacteria in a real wastewater environment. In this study, under a real municipal wastewater condition, we characterized wastewater pollutant treatability and bacterial communities in response to growth of Ankistrodesmus gracilis SAG278-2, which can grow in wastewater and has a high lipid contents. The growth of algal population using the wastewater was inhibited by increase in wastewater bacteria while bacterial survival and cellular decay rate were not influenced by the algal growth. Removals of recalcitrant organic matters and total nitrogen were improved in the presence of algal growth. According to T-RFLP and statistical analysis, algal growth affected time-course changes in bacterial community structures. The following 16S rRNA gene amplicon, cloning results showed that the algal growth changes in bacterial community structure, and that bacterial populations belonging to Sediminibacterium, Sphingobacterium, Mucilaginibacter genera were identified as cooperative with the algal growth in the wastewater.

우리나라 대규모 하수처리장에 상용화되어있는 응집공정의 운영상 난점을 극복하고자 대체공정으로 고안된 인 결정여과공정(HCF, Hydroxyapatite Crystallization-Filtration process)의 pilot plant를 구축하고 부산슬러지의 자원화를 위해 그 특성을 검토하였다. 기존의 hydroxyapatite(HAP) 결정화공정 내 탈탄산(decarbonation) 단계를 생략하는 HCF공정의 경우에 고농도의 Ca²⁺ 주입과 처리수내 탄산염으로 인해 HAP을 포함하는 석회계 슬러지가 발생하는데, 이는 산성화된 토양의 개량제(중화제)로 널리 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구를 위해 경기도 I하수처리장 2차침전지 후단에 구축된 처리용량 27.1 - 135.6 m³/day HCF pilot plant의 전처리 조건은 pH 10.0 - 11.0, Ca²⁺ 농도 80 mg/L이었다. 결정여과조는 선속도 1.0 - 5.0 m/hr, 상향류로 운전되며, 여재는 2.0 - 3.0 mm의 석회석 모래를 충전하였다. 역세척은 중앙에 Air lifting pipe를 설치하여 역세척수가 처리수와 분리배출되도록 설계하였고, 침전시켜 역세척 슬러지를 회수하였다. 처리수의 평균 T-P, PO₄-P 및 SS는 각각 0.05, 0.04, 1.1 mg/L으로 모든 항목에서 방류수 수질기준 이하로 안정적으로 유출되었다. 회수된 HCF 슬러지는 SEM-EDX, XRD, FT-IR을 활용하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. SEM-EDX로 분석된 슬러지의 원자분율은 CaCO₃ 또는 HAP으로 추측되었다. 또한, XRD spectrum 분석결과, 슬러지의 주요 구성성분은 calcite, HAP, phosphoric acid(H₃PO₄) 및 brusite로 나타났다. FT-IR 분석결과, 슬러지는 대부분 인산염 및 탄산염의 무기물로 구성되어 있으며, 유입수의 인 농도가 높을수록 슬러지 내 HAP의 함량이 calcite보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 고농도의 Ca²⁺을 주입하여 탈탄산단계를 생략한 HCF의 부산슬러지는 HAP 이외에도 CaCO₃와 칼슘-인 화합물로 구성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하수 인 고도처리를 위한 HCF공정의 하수처리시설 인 고도처리 적용이 검증되었으며, 부산슬러지를 산성화된 토양의 개량제(중화제) 또는 비료로서의 재활용 및 자원화 가능성이 시사되었다.

2004년말 현재 국내에서 발생되는 음식물쓰레기의 재활용량은 전체 발생량의 $87.7\%$인 10,015톤/일이며, 전체 재활용량의 $6.47\%$인 640톤/일 정도가 혐기성소화 방법에 의해 처리 및 자원화 되고 있다. 국내에서 적용되고 있는 음식물쓰레기 혐기성소화 기술의 대부분은 습식소화(Wet digestion) 공법이며, 처리 방법별로 2상 혐기성소화(Two-phase anaerobic digestion)와 하수슬러지 흑은 축산분뇨와 함께 혼합처리 하는 통합소화(Co-digestion) 공정으로 구분되고 있다. 음식물쓰레기의 자원화 방법에 있어 혐기성소화는 사료화, 퇴비화에 비하여 폐기물의 효과적인 감량화와 자원화 효과뿐만 아니라 유용 에너지원인 메탄가스의 회수가 가능하기에 최근에 주목을 받는 biotechnology중의 하나로 자리매김 하고 있으며, 또한 유기성폐기물의 자원순환형 관리 시스템 구현에 있어 적절한 대안으로 고려되고 있다.

우리나라의 경우 고유의 음식문화 특성상 수분과 염분이 많아 음식물쓰레기를 단순히 매립이나 소각처리, 재활용으로 매립에 의한 최종 처분의 경우 음식물쓰레기의 높은 수분함량과 높은 염분 그리고, 비교적 분해 되기 쉬운 부패성물질로 구성되어 자원화에 어려움이 많다. 현재 음식물쓰레기 자원화 처리 시스템은 모든 음식물쓰레기를 한곳으로 모아 처리하는 집중처리 시스템으로 이루어져 자원화가 재대로 이루어지지 못하고 있으므로 국가와 지방자치단체 및 민간의 자본 출원으로 단일처리방식이 아닌 배출되는 음식물쓰레기의 성상과 특징을 고려하여 사료화, 퇴비화, 에너지화, 하수처리 병합등 분산처리시스템을 도입하여 생산품의 다양성 및 안정성을 가져올 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

After feeding mixed samples, VS ranged from 60 to 80% of total costs in 15 days. EC ranged from1.21 to 2.45, 1.25 to 2.1 and 1.2 to 1.88mS/cm when worms were fed with a mixture of by-products of tidal current and sewage sludge, a mixture of by-products of algae producy, and food wastes and a mixture of by-products of algae producy, sewage sludge and food wastes. That means the kinds of mixture don't have any negative impacts on worms survival. With the feed with a mixture of by-products of algae producy and food wastes and a mixture of by-products of algae producy, sewage sludge and food wastes, pH shows stable 5.4 to 6.7, and 6.2 to 7.4 where is suitable for worms. But a mixture of by-products of algae producy and sewage sludge is out of proper scope for raising worms, in other words, extra care will be necessary. In case of Eh, a mixture of by-products of algae producy and sewage sludge make eh negative (-) in early stage so also when feeding worms, also extra care will be needed. NaCl ranged from 0.32 to 0.82% or form 0.23 to 0.61% when a mixture of by-products of algae producy and food wastes and a mixture of by-products of algae producy, sewage sludge and food wastes were fed. So taking care of salts will be essential whenever feeding.

This study was to experiment, through sewage sludge treatment by Vacuum Drying Method, variation of water content with reaction pressure, reaction time, reaction temperature. The result are as follows; The water content decreased with the same reaction temperature and reaction time at lower pressure and 360~40 mmHg (a close vacuum) showed lower water content at low reaction temperature and short reaction time. The water content rapidly decreased with the same reaction pressure and time at low reaction temperature (above $120^{\circ}C$).

Generation and recycling potential of organic waste in Korea were estimated. Status of organic waste composting and compost utilization also were surveyed to promote the recycling of organic waste. From 1994 to 1997, generation of garbage decreased gradually while recycling rate increased due to positive governmental strategy. During the same period, livestock waste increased 11.2%. Municipal wastewater sludge was generated 3,500 ton/day which was 0.03% of wastewater treated in 1996. The energy Potential of industrial organic waste was estimated to 288 million TOE which was 1.75% of the nationwide first energy consumption in 1996. Recycling of industrial sludge was low to 31%, while recycling of animal waste, plant scraps, and wasted paper were relatively high over 50%. Industrial sludge should be recycled more as it was the most part of industrial organic waste. Conventional composting materials were mainly livestock waste, food processing waste, fishery waste, sawdust, and nightsoil. Garbage and sludge have been composted recently. 420,000 tons of compost in 1996 were produced by 288 makers, the most of which were utilized in agriculture. It was suggested that separated collection, compost standard, and quality management should be provided to promote the composting of organic waste.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of sewage sludge compost amended soils on the growth and accumulation patterns of heavy metals in plant parts of Orchardgrass seedlings, changes in physical properties and chemical composition, and heavy metal residue in soils. Mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost and soil(loam) were 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100(control), respectively. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The physical properties and chemical compostion of soils were improved by increase in mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost. 2. The biological yield of Orchardgrass seedlings was increased with mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost. 3. The dry weight of shoot(SH) was increased with both of yield components(NT and WT) and biological yield of Orchardgrass seedlings. 4. The total nitrogen concentrations(TN) of plants was increased with quadratically up to the biological yield of 100% mixture ratio of sewage sludge compost. 5. Lead(Pb) concentration of soil in over the 60% mixture ratios of sewage sludge compost were in excess of limiting level(50ppm) of organic fertilizers.
