This research examined the effects of different liquid manure based anaerobic digestate on the growth and yield of rice compared to chemical fertilizer. The liquid manure was produced by aerobic fermentation from swine with cow or apple pomace anaerobic digestate and treated at different concentrations. The number of grains per panicle increased in both the liquid manure-treated and chemical fertilizer treated rice. The yield index did not vary significantly between the liquid manure and chemical fertilizer. An increased concentration of liquid manure did not correlate with increases in unhulled rice. However, pH and exchangeable K in the soil increased with an increase in liquid manure. In summary, we suggest a properly applied 100% liquid manure fertilizer can replace chemical fertilizer to reduce our excessive use of inorganic fertilizer.

Temperature phase anaerobic co-digestion process was conducted with the one to one mixture of food wastewater with livestock wastewater, and the presence and the dynamics of various pathogenic microorganisms was analyzed. The mixture contained various enteric and pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli. Enterobacteriaceae, Coliform bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria, and Yeast. Anaerobic digestion has become stabilized around 21 days after the reaction started, showing about 80% to 90% of remarkable reduction rates of microorganisms until this period in acidogenic reactor (AR) and methanogenic reactor (MR), respect ively. After stabilization, the average reduction rate of organic matter was recorded as around 60% in MR. Most microorganisms in the effluent were not detected at around the last period of the reaction, except Listeria and S. aureus, which showed the growth even at the last day of the reaction.

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.

Objective of this research was to investigate the characteristics of biogas production in anaerobic digestion reactor with different mixing ratio of food waste and swine manure. It was observed that the highest removal efficiency of organic material was 80% at 60 : 40 of mixing ratio (livestock manure : food waste). And also biogas yield was varied due to different mixing ratio of them. The cumulative biogas yield was highest at 60 : 40 of mixing rate (livestock manure : food waste). For use of the liquefied fertilizer as effluent from anaerobic digester, it was the limited ratio for 30% of co-digested food waste based on its salt content.

In this study, the effect of physico-chemical variables on sludge conditioning was determined to enhance dewaterability of effluent produced from the thermophilic anaerobic digestion of food waste. The gas production rate and methane content during the anaerobic digestion of food waste were $1.1m^3/kg$ VS and 63%, respectively, and the biodegradability of volatile solids was 87.5%. The concentrations of CODcr, TKN and TP of effluent from digestor were 18,500mg/L, 2,800mg/L, and 582mg/L, respectively. At the jar test to screen the flocculant for the dewatering of effluent from digestor, $FeCl_3$ and strong cationic polymer were effective on making flocs in the effluent. The condition of flocculation of effluent were 500mg/L of $FeCl_3$ and 50-100 mg/L of strong cationic polymer, respectively. As the result of measuring of dewaterability potential of effluent to determine the mixing ratio between $FeCl_3$ and polymer by capillary suction time(SCT), optimum condition was 500mg/L of $FeCl_3$ and 80mg/L of strong cationic polymer.

We coordinated the experiments with ozone pretreatment and two-phase anaerobic digestion using solid-liquid separation to raise the efficiency of sludge volume reduction and obtained the following results. The pre-treatment with ozone reduced the solid concentration in the average of TSS $8.3{\pm}2.0%$ TSS and $9.2{\pm}}2.8%$ VSS. Of the organic material, TCOD decreased $5.1{\pm}2.4%$, but SCOD showed $72{\pm}6.5%$ increased, which was due to destruction of the cell wall and dissolution of icell media by the powerful oxidative stress of ozone. During the two-phase anaerobic digestion process, we achieved the reduction of $21.5{\pm}3.4%$ TSS, $20.2{\pm}8.4%$ VSS, $32.1{\pm}7.9%$ TCOD and $22.1{\pm}7.2%$ SCOD in average. The maximum methane gas production were 177.6 mL per g TSS, 210.8 mL per g VSS, 127.0 mL per g TCOD and 1452.0 mL per g SCOD, respectively. Solid material reduction through the two-phase anaerobic digestion and MLE (Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) processes were 93.8% of TSS and 92.0% of VSS. We concluded that suggested two-phase anaerobic digestion and MLE process could achieve the reasonable production of biogas and a maximum reduction of the sludge volume.

In this study, the experiment was carried out to produce methane by applying Semi-Continuous Leachate Recirculation Anaerobic Digestion System fed with source separated food waste from school cafeteria. There were two systems and each system consisted of a bioreactor and a liquid tank. Each bioreactor had a screen near the bottom of the reactor. 2.5L of separated liquid was transferred to the liquid tank for 30min each day by using a tubing pump and the liquid from the liquid tank was pumped to the bioreactor at the upper of the bioreactor as soon as the transfer was ended. Through this circulation, the liquid having high concentration of VFAs was supplied to the top of bioreactor. At the beginning of the experiment, food waste/inoculum anaerobic sludge volume ratio was 2:8 that is 9g VS/L of OLR(Organic Loading Rate). Feeding was conducted every two weeks. Experimental results showed that the contents of moisture, combustible matter, ash were 65.91%, 32.73%, and 1.36%, respectively. Two different food waste loading were studied. The average organic loading rates were 3.51g VS/d for System A and 3.86g VS/d for System B, respectively. The average produced methane based on food waste fed to bioreactor were observed as $6.30m^3CH_4/kgVS{\cdot}d$ for system A and $4.94m^3CH_4/kgVS{\cdot}d$ for System B, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of anaerobic methane fermentation using several organic wastes. The substrates used in this study were food wastes, vegetable wastes, and cow manure. The substrates were mixed with inocula (mixed methanogenic fluid) at a ratio of 1:1, and several parameters such as TS, VS, sCOD, and biogas production have been monitored. Anaerobic degradation of food wastes were occurred in the intial stage of cultivation, whereas that of vegetable wastes were occurred in the late stage. However, in case of cow manure, the degradation was occurred two times both in the intial and the late stage of reaction.

In order to improve the anaerobic digestion efficiency of the sewage sludge, the methane potential of the hydrolysate generated from the hydro-thermal reaction at 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$ was analyzed and the constitutional characteristics of the organic materials were estimated by dividing organic materials of hydro-thermal hydrolysate into easily biodegradable, decomposition resistant, and non-biodegradable organic materials applying the parallel first order kinetics model. The ultimate methane potential of sewage sludge hydro-thermal hydrolysate increased to 0.39, 0.39, 0.40, 0.44, 0.45, and $0.46Nm^3/kg-VS_{added}$ as hydro-thermal reaction temperature increased from 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, $220^{\circ}C$. It has been shown that the organic matter of sewage sludge is solubilized to increase the content of biodegradable organic material($VS_B$). The easily degradable organic matter($VS_e$) content was highest at hydro-thermal reaction temperature of 200 and $210^{\circ}C$, and optimum hydro-thermal reaction temperature for organic matter solubilization of sewage sludge was in the range of $200{\sim}210^{\circ}C$. In addition, the amount of biodegradable organic material($VS_B$) and easily biodegradable organic matter ($VS_e$) in the hydrolysate of sewage sludge was the highest at hydro-thermal reaction temperature of $200^{\circ}C$.
