This study was designed to examine the characteristics of sawdust and cocopeat bedding materials, including physicochemical properties (Exp. I) and on-farm trial (Exp. II). In Exp. I, the proportion of particle size was in the order of sawdust>cocopeat India>cocopeat Vietnam (p<0.05), and cocopeat contained higher proportion of small particles ($250{\mu}m$+below $250{\mu}m$) than sawdust, causing a dust production problem. Bulk density was cocopeat India>cocopeat Vietnam>sawdust (p<0.05), thus cocopeat treatments showed 4.4 times higher bedding cost than sawdust. The water absorption rates were 702.0% in cocopeat India, 678.3% in cocopeat Vietnam, and 444.0% in sawdust, showing cocopeat had approximately 1.5 times higher water absorption rate than sawdust. Moisture evaporation rates after 12 h of air blowing (2.00 m/s) were higher (p<0.05) in cocopeat Vietnam (80.4%) than sawdust (71.2%) and cocopeat India (72.8%). In vitro ammonia emissions were higher (p<0.05) in sawdust ($2.71mg/m^2/h$) than cocopeat India ($1.59mg/m^2/h$) and Vietnam ($1.22mg/m^2/h$), and total ammonia emissions were higher (p<0.05) in sawdust ($37.02mg/m^2$) than cocopeat India ($22.51mg/m^2$) and Vietnam ($13.60mg/m^2$). In Exp. II, an on-farm trial was conducted with 48 Hanwoo cattle in 16 pens using the same bedding materials as in Exp. I, with fan (blowing 2.00 m/s) and no fan treatments, and feed bunk side (FB) and water supply side (WS) within a pen (4.5 m, $width{\times}9.0m$, length). Beddings were replaced with fresh bedding materials when moisture concentrations were over 65%. No interactions among treatments were detected for moisture concentration and increment rates, and ammonia concentrations, but a significant effect was observed (p<0.01) for each of the treatments. Both concentrations and increment rate of moisture were higher (p<0.01) in the beddings without fan than with fan. Moisture concentrations and increment rate within a pen were also higher (p<0.01) in FB than WS. Thus, the whole no-fan-FB and sawdust-fan-FB were replaced with fresh bedding material between 4 to 5 experimental weeks. The ammonia concentrations and pH of beddings were not significantly different among treatments. Therefore, using cocopeat bedding with a blowing fan can extend twice the bedding utilization period, and WS within a pen showed twice the bedding-life compared to FB. Despite the outstanding characteristics of cocopeat compared with sawdust, using cocopeat as an alternative for sawdust bedding is not recommended for cattle management, considering it has 4.4 times higher bedding cost and a dust production problem.

퇴비화 과정 중 암모니아 휘산과 관련된 난분해성 및 이분해성 유기물의 역할을 재조명하기 위해 분뇨와 톱밥(난분해성) 또는 쌀겨(이분해성)를 혼합한 후 4주간 $CO_2$ 발생량과 $NH_3$ 휘산량을 조사하였다. 이산화탄소 발생량은 톱밥처리구에 비해 쌀겨처리구에서 43$\sim$122% 정도 높았으며, 이에 상응하게 최종 건물중 손실률도 쌀겨처리구가 35.1$\sim$41.5%로 톱밥처리구의 18.7$\sim$22.6%에 비해 유의하게(P$\sim$0.05) 높았다. 톱밥처리구에서는 시험기간인 4주간 암모니아 휘산이 발생하지 않았는데, 이는 톱밥의 C/N 비가 높아 질소무기화가 지체되었고 톱밥 자체가 $NH_4^+$를 흡착할 수 있는 능력이 있기 때문으로 판단되었다. 반면, 이분해성인 쌀겨 처리구에서는 퇴비화 초기에는 질소부동화에 의해 암모니아 휘산이 나타나지 않았지만, 8일 이후부터는 쌀겨처리량이 낮은 순서대로 이분해성 유기물의 고갈에 의한 질소재무기화에 의해 암모니아 휘산이 관측되었다. 따라서, 이분해성 유기물은 초기 암모니아 부동화를 통해 암모니아 휘산을 감소시킬 수 있지만, 부동화된 질소의 재무기화에 의해 퇴비화 중반기에 오히려 암모니아 휘산이 증가할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 난분해성 유기물인 톱밥은 암모니아 고정능이 있어 물리화학적 흡착에 의해 암모니아 휘산을 저감시킬 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

This study investigates the possibility of applying food waste leachate to a municipal solid waste incinerator in order to effectively dispose of the material and to reduce the environmental impact. The spray positions and the quantity of the food waste leachate in municipal solid waste incinerator were adjusted to examine the stability of the process and the environmental effect. The rear of the first combustion chamber was found to be the desirable location for an environmental perspective in this study. At a food waste leachate injection rate of $2m^3/h$, the concentration of the emitted NOx decreased from 130 ppm to 40 ppm. The consumption of ammonia water was reduced by about 36% after adding the food waste leachate. The inclusion of the food waste leachate to the municipal incinerator also increased the amount of steam that was produced. The results of this research indicated that a positive outcome can be expected in terms of diversifying the treatment options for food waste leachate. The results also provide guidance for institutional framework to manage the incineration of the food waste leachate.

It is well known that two representative methods satisfy EURO-IV regulation from EURO-III. The first method is to achieve the regulation through the reduction of NOx in an engine by utilizing relatively high EGR rate and the elimination of subsequently increased PM by DPF. However, it results in the deterioration of fuel economy due to relatively high EGR rate. The second is to use the high combustion strategy to reduce PM emission by high oxidation rate and trap the high NOx emissions with DeNOx catalysts such as Urea-SCR. While it has good fuel economy relative to the first method mentioned above, its infrastructure is demanded. In this paper, the number distribution of nano PM has been evaluated by Electrical Low Pressure Impactor(ELPI) and CPC in case of Urea-SCR system in second method. From the results, the particle number was increased slightly in proportion to the amount of urea injection on Fine Particle Region, whether AOC is used or not. Especially, in case of different urea injection pressure, the trends of increasing was distinguished from low and high injection pressure. As low injection pressure, the particle number was increased largely in accordance with the amount of injected urea solution on Fine Particle Region. But Nano Particle Region was not. The other side, in case of high pressure, increasing rate of particle number was larger than low pressure injection on Nano Particle Region. From the results, the reason of particle number increase due to urea injection is supposed that new products are composited from HCNO, sulfate, NH3 on urea decomposition process.

본 연구에서는 잣송이 부산물을 이용하여 인체와 가축에는 무해한 천연 잣송이 부산물 악취저감제를 제조하고 돈분뇨 퇴비화과정에 적용하여 악취 저감효과와 퇴비화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 잣송이 부산물 악취저감제는 분쇄된 잣송이 부산물, 3종의 미생물(Lactobacillus spp., Alcaligenes spp., Pasteurella spp.) 그리고 무기영양소가 첨가된 당밀수를 혼합하여 수분함량을 55%로 조정한 후 $30^{\circ}C$에서 48시간 배양하여 제조하였다. 실험 처리구는 대조구인 톱밥처리구(T1),톱밥과 3종의 미생물을 혼합한 처리구(T2), 톱밥과 제조된 악취저감제(NDA) 처리구(T3)로 하여 실험실 규모의 반응기 내에서 퇴비화를 진행하면서 실험한 결과 퇴비화 기간 동안 모든 실험구는 최고온도 $55^{\circ}C$ 이상까지 상승하며 병원성 유해미생물들이 사멸되는 퇴비화 적정온도 조건에 부합하였다. 또한 퇴비화 전, 후의 이화학적 성상 변화를 분석한 결과 처리구간 큰 차이가 발견되지 않았으나 제조된 악취저감제를 20%이상 사용시 유기물 분해율이 적어져 퇴비화 과정에서 충분한 온도 상승이 이루어지지 않을 우려가 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 악취저감제 사용 시 퇴비화 과정 중 암모니아 가스 발생에 따른 질소소실이 상대적으로 적어 최종 퇴비물질의 질소함량이 상대적으로 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 퇴비화 기간 중 암모니아($NH_3$)가스 발생양상을 분석한 결과 황화수소($H_2S$)와 머캅탄($CH_3SH$) 등의 황화합물 가스와는 달리 퇴비화 전 과정을 거쳐 지속적으로 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 퇴비화 반응조에서 발생한 암모니아 가스 농도를 비교할 때 31일 동안 포집된 암모니아의 농도는 T1, T2, T3 각각 12,660 mg/L, 11,598 mg/L, 7,367 mg/L로 잣송이 부산물을 이용하여 제조된 악취저감제를 첨가한 T3에서 암모니아가스의 발생이 확실하게 저감됨을 알 수 있었다. 퇴비화 과정 중 발생하는 머캅탄($CH_3SH$)과 황화수소($H_25$)의 일일발생량과 축적량을 측정한 시험에서 제조된 악취저감제를 첨가한 T3에서는 황화수소 가스와 머캅탄 가스가 크게 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 미뤄 잣송이 부산물과 미생물을 혼합하여 제조된 악취저감제의 적량 이용은 퇴비화 과정과 퇴비 품질에 영향을 미치지 않으며 퇴비화 과정 중 발생하는 악취물질을 저감시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, two experiments were conducted to investigate the physicochemical characteristics (Exp. I) of bedding materials such as rice hulls (RH), sawdust (SD), wood shavings (WS) and sawdust+wood shavings (S+W; 1:1 in volume), and utilization of these beddings except RH (Exp. II) for rearing beef cattle. In Exp. I, the distribution of particle size (%) with $250{\mu}m$ and below $250{\mu}m$ was greater (p<0.05) in SD (30.4) than RH (4.4), WS (18.8) and S+W (20.1). Bulk density ($kg/m^3$) of bedding materials was directly proportional to the percentage of $250{\mu}m$ and below $250{\mu}m$ particles, 178, 46, 112, and 88 for SD, WD, S+W and RH, respectively. Water absorption rate (%) after submersion in water for 24 h was higher (p<0.05) in WS (540.2) compared to SD (270.2), S+W (368.2). The S+W had an intermediate value of the absorption rate between SD and WS, but had an outstanding durability of water absorption capacity. Moisture evaporation rate (%) for 12 h was higher (p<0.05) in WS (75.4) than SD (70.5), S+W (72.2) and RH (57.8). Average ammonia emission ($mg/m^2/h$) for 36 h was higher (p<0.05) in RH (3.15) than SD (1.70), WS (1.63), and S+W (1.73). In Exp. II, thirty six Hanwoo cows were allocated in 9 pens with one side on feed bunk side (Side A) and another side equipped with water supply (Side B) for 3 weeks with duplicated periods. Average moisture concentrations (%) of beddings were higher (p<0.05) in WS (side A, 65.7; side B, 57.9) than SD (side A, 62.5; side B, 52.2) and S+W (side A, 61.6; side B, 50.7). Regardless of types of beddings, moisture concentrations (%) of beddings within a pen were lower (p<0.05) at side B than A, implying longer period of utilization. These results suggest that using S+W would be a better choice than SD or WS alone, considering physicochemical characteristics and economics, and RH is not a suitable material as a bedding for beef cattle.

BACKGROUND: The most common litter materials used in South Korea are sawdust, rice husk, etc. Recently, the cost of litter has been steadily rising, and the maturity test has been strengthened. For this reason, new litter materials are needed for better water control ability to solve the problems. The object of this study was to evaluate the water absorption properties for litter materials. METHODS AND RESULTS: The volumetric water capacity according to the addition of cow manure was investigated to calculate the water absorption speed of litter materials (sawdust, peatmoss, cocopeat, and biochar). The water absorption speed constant (-K) in the first stage was high in the order of cocopeat (0.1190), sawdust (0.0961), biochar (0.0762), and peatmoss (0.0523). The optimal period of the litter use was in the following order: peatmoss (48d), biochar (42d), sawdust (30d), and cocopeat (24d). The water absorption rate (%) of the used litters was high in the order of biochar ≈ cocopeat, sawdust, and peatmoss, which was significantly correlated with the water absorption speed of the first stage. CONCLUSION(S): Considering the water absorption speed and water absorption rate, biochar and peatmoss were found to be the best and optimal litter materials among the tested materials. These litter materials can be used as water control agents in livestock facilities.
