운전 온도 $35^{\circ}C$, 평균 유기물부하 $3.1{\;}kgCOD/m^3/day$ 및 수리학적체류시간 10일에서 혐기성 연속회분식공정에 의한 분뇨처리를 수행하였다. 공정의 평가는 대조 소화조로 완전혼합형의 소화조와 병행하여 수행되었다. 본 실험에서 분뇨는 고농도의 암모니아성 질소와 침전성 고형물을 함유하고 있음에도 불구하고 희석 없이 소화가 가능하였다. 혐기성 연속회분식공정에서 고형물은 급속하게 증가하여 완전혼합형의 대조 소화조에 비하여 소화조내 고형물(biomass)의 농도가 2.4배로 증가하였고, 가스발생량에 있어서도 대조 소화조에 비해 현격한 증가를 보였으며 그 증가율은 205~220%에 달했다. 부가적인 침전 시설이 없이도 혐기성 연속회분식공정의 유출수질이 대조 소화조 보다 높게 나타났는데 상징액 기준으로 휘발성고형물 제거율은 혐기성 연속회분식공정이 대조 소화조 보다 12~14% 높았다. 한편, 혐기성 연속회분식공정의 운전인자로 반응/침강비(R/T ratio)를 조사한 결과 R/T비가 1인 경우가 3의 경우보다 가스발생량, 메탄함량 및 유기물 제거율이 약간 높았으나 큰 차이는 없었다. 위의 실험결과들로부터 혐기성 연속회분식공정은 고농도의 암모니아성 질소와 침전성 유기물을 함유하고 있는 분뇨의 처리에 효과적이고 안정적인 공정으로 판단된다.

Tn order to be helpful to control dispersed microorganisms for stabLlization of wastewater treatment in a paper-makillg process, dominant strains were isolated aerobically and anaerobically. and identified and physiological characteristics were also analyzed. Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena, Cardiobacten'm hominis, lvIicrococcus lylae, XanfomonCls campestris p" juglandis, Micrococcus diversus, and Comamonas terrigencl as aerobic dominants, and Streptococcus bovis and Prevotella buccae as anaerobIc dominants were identified fi'om the supernatent of the primary settling tank. It seemed that microflora in the treatment process would consist of many kinds of microorganisms, whose dominant would change easily according to environmental conditions, They all grew well at $37^{\circ}C$ and at different initial medium pH's. Especially, some of them required sulfate ion for their growth, which came from a chemical coagulant of aluminium sulfate in the primary settling tank. Interestingly. many anaerobes grew well even in the aerobic wastewater treatment process and seemed to have some functions. Population of anaerobes increased three times in the supematant of primary settling tank and ten times in Lhe bottom sludge of primary settling tank than in the prime wastewater. Therefore, these anaerobes contributed to the producH tion of offensive gases, which would make some microorganisms not precLpitate and be buoyant.

The total production of food waste was about 11,398ton/day('03) in Korea. Also, food waste was treated by landfill, incineration, reuse and anaerobic digestion. The method of food waste treatment depended primarily on landfill. However, the method of landfill causing social problems was prevented to treat food waste in the first of January 2005.12) Thus, anaerobic digestion is an important method to treat food waste because of possibility of energy recovery as methane gas. In this study, the possibility of food waste treatment containing high organic material and low pH in the one stage anaerobic reactor to save cost and time and energy recovery using $CH_{4}$ gas by the hybrid anaerobic reactor (HAR) was measured. The HAR was designed by combing the merits of the anaerobic filter (AF) to minimize the microorganism shock when food waste of very low pH was injected and up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) to prevent from plugging and channeling phenomena by large suspended solids when semi solids were injected. Granule was packed in the section of HAR. The purpose of the BMP experiment was to measure the amount of methane generated when organic material was resolved under anaerobic conditions, to grasp bio resolution of organic material. Total accumulated methane production per VS amount was $0.471(m^{3}/\cal{kg}\;VS)$. So, the value was about $81.2\%$ of theoretical methane production which was $0.58(m^{3}/\cal{kg}\;VS)$ by elementary analysis and organic matter removal velocity (K) was $0.18(d^{-1})$. From these results, food waste was treated by anaerobic treatment. From this study, $CH_{4}$ generation from food waste (11,398 ton/day) could be estimated. By using an energy conversion factor of Braun's study, $5.97KWh/m^{3}\;CH4,\;60\%\;of\;CH_{4}$ gas generation, the amount of total energy producing food waste is to 6,727MWh/day. It could be confirmed that energy recovery using $CH_{4}$ gas was possible. Above these results, food waste containing organic matters of high concentration could be treated in HRT 30 days under an anaerobic condition, using the hybrid anaerobic reactor and reuse of $CH_{4}$ gas was possible.

In order to investigate the effects of synbiotics on change of chemical composition and fermentation characteristics of total mixed ration (TMR), eight TMRs fermented by synbiotics composing the anaerobic microbes (bacteria, yeast, mold) were alloted to the experimental treatments. Treatments were composed of untreated synbiotics(US), bacterial synbiotics (BS), yeast synbiotics (YS), mold synbiotics (MS), bacterial and mold synbiotics (BMS), yeast and mold synbiotics (YMS), bacterial and yeast synbiotics (BYS), and bacterial, yeast and mold synbiotics (BYMS). After 7 days of anaerobic fermentation, fermented-TMRs were exposed to air during 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days. One hundred forty four (8 treatments ${\times}$ 6 exposing days ${\times}$ 3 replications) fermented- TMRs were manufactured by vinyl bag sized of 43 cm by 58 cm. The results obtained were as follows. Moisture contents of the fermented TMRs anaerobically ranged from 41% to 45%, and was similar to those of basal TMRs. As results of anaerobic fermentation, the concentration of crude protein was decreased by 11.7% to 14.8% in the untreated sample, while was rather increased by 11% when the TMR was fermented with BMYS. And also BMYS treatment showed decreases by 32% for crude fiber, 15.5% for NDF and 26.1% for ADF. Internal temperature of fermented-TMRs was highest at 7 day of exposing in the air. The pH of fermented-TMR juice was significant difference betweentreatments after 7 day of exposing in air, and that of BMS was highest at 14 day after exposing in air (P<0.05). Acid buffering capacity was increased in proportion to the exposing day of TMR, and peaked at 7 or 14 days after exposing. Ammonia concentration of fermented-TMRs was highest at 5 day after exposing in the air. Individual volatile fatty acid of fermented-TMR juice was very low level in all treatments. Although BMYS treatment to TMR inclined to increase in crude protein and decrease in fibers, but there were no positive effects on the fermentation characteristics after exposing in the air by supplementation of anaerobic synbiotics to TMR.

This study investigated the environmental and economical assessment for sewage sludge treatment options including biogasification, incineration, carbonization, drying, and solidification. Considering B/C ratio for an anaerobic digestion treatment, for $270,000m^3/d$ (over $1,150m^3/day$), B/C was 1, as the moisture content increased to 95 %, B/C was 1 for $100000m^3/d$ (capacity of $400m^3/day$). Anaerobic digestion+solidification was the most economically feasible, then Anaerobic digestion+incineration and anaerobic digestion+drying were the next economically feasible and then anaerobic digestion+carbonization was the least economically feasible. If anaerobic digestion efficiency was improved to 45%, the treatment costs for anaerobic digestion+carbonization, anaerobic digestion+incineration and anaerobic digestion+drying were decreased to 3,000~5,000 won/t and the costs for anaerobic digestion+solidification was decreased to 2,000~3,000 won/t due to increasing of the beneficial cost of the biogas production.

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.

혐기성 소화는 고농도의 유기폐수를 최종적으로 메탄으로 전환하여 에너지원을 회수할 수 있는 효율적인 생물학적 폐수처리 공정 중의 하나이다. 그런데 이러한 혐기성 소화 공정에서 가장 큰 장애요인으로 작용하고 있는 요소 중의 하나가 매생물의 침강성 저하로 인한 고액분리의 문제이다. 이로인해 현재 고전적인 중력침강법, 부상법 대신에 분리막을 이용한 막결합형 혐기성 소화 공정이 대두되고 있으며 완전한 고액분리, 반응조내의 고농도 미생물 보유, 양질의 최종 유출수 획득 등 많은 장점들이 제시되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 시간에 따른 막오염 현상, 분리막 표면에서의 케이크층 형성 등으로 인한 막투과 유속 (flux)의 감소는 분리막의 응용에 있어 경제성을 저하시키는 주요한 부정적 요인으로 지적되고 있다. 그리고 막분리 성능은 분리막의 특성, 유체역학적 조건, 그리고 혐기성 소화 상태 등에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 막결합형 혐기성 소화 공정의 십자흐름 (crossflow) 막분리 공정에서 유체역학적 조건 및 혐기성 소화조의 상태와 관련된 요인들이 어떻게 막투과도 및 배제율 등에 영향을 미치는 지 살펴보고자 한다.

본 실험의 목적은 다양한 펄프제조 조건과 여러 형태의 리그노 셀루로우스 성분이 펄프폐수의 혐기성 생분해에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 실험에 사용된 폐수는 일반적으로 펄프 제조시에 발생되는 폐수를 대상으로 하였으며, 펄프제조 조건은 TMP공정과 소다 펄프공정을 적용하였다. 혐기성 생분해 가능성 시험 및 독성실험은 $35\pm 2\circ$C의 중온상태에서 입상슬러지를 식종물질로 사용한 회분식 반응조를 이용하였다. TMP공정의 배출되는 폐수는 산으로의 전환율이 총 COD기준으로 68-87%로 매우 높은 혐기성 생분해 가능성을 보였다. 그리고 TMP공정폐수는 일반적으로 제지폐수 처리시 독성농도라고 알려진 농도에서도 메탄생성균에 독성을 주지 않았고, 또한 COD 10g/l의 농도에서도 처리에 저해가 일어나지 않았다. 반면에, 알카리성 상태에서 준비된 펄프폐수의 경우는 생분해성이 매우 낮아서 대략 50%정도의 산전환율을 보였으며, 메탄생성균에 상당한 저해를 주었다. 메턴생성균의 활성도에 50%저해를 주는 농도는 2.1~5.4 gCOD/l였다. 알카리성 펄프폐수의 독성에 대한 추가 실험결과 펄프내 wood resin이 산이나 중성 pH부근에서는 잘 용해가 되지 않고 알카리성 상태에서 쉽게 용해되어 메탄생성균에 저해를 나타내는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 따라서 펄프제조시 나무성분이 알카리성분과 접촉할 경우 후속하는 혐기성 처리공정의 메탄생성균에 심각한 저해를 줄 수 있다.

Animal carcasses have always been and continue to be a major burden in animal production. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of thermophilic anaerobic digestion for animal carcasses. A batch test using ground meat and organ as the model substrate showed that animal carcasses arehighly biodegradable at thermophilic anaerobic condition. The volatile solids (VS) destruction and $CH_4$ yieldranged from 52.7 to 58.5% and from 220 to 243 mL/g VS, respectively, at initial substrate VS in the range of 1.5~7.7%. However, high ammonia concentration inhibited continuous operation at substrate VS above 2.5%. As ammonia is formed during the degradation of proteineous organic materials, the major constituent of animal carcasses, the only way to reduce the ammonia concentration would be dilution. Co-digestion with other waste stream without high nitrogen content is recommended as an economically feasible approach for thermophilic digestion of animal carcass.

Although different disposal routes of waste-activated sludge are possible, anaerobic digestion plays an important role for its abilities to further transform organic matter into methane. The potential of using methane as energy source has long been widely recognised and the present paper extensively reviews the principles of anaerobic digestion, the process parameters and hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is recognised as rate-limiting step in the complex digestion process. To accelerate the digestion and enhance the production of biogas, various pre-treatments can be used to improve the rate-limiting hydrolysis. These treatments include mechanical, thermal, chemical and biological interventions to the feedstock. All pre-treatments result in a lysis or disintegration of sludge cells, thus releasing and solubilizing intracellular material into the water phase and transforming refractory organic material into biodegradable species. The reader will finally be guided to extensive discussion for anaerobic digestion processes.
