혐기성 소화 시 산발효 단계에서 지질 성분이 부분적으로 분해되고 지질 내 이중 결합이 포화됨을 통해 후단의 메탄발효 효율이 향상됨이 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 혐기성 연속 회분식 반응조(anaerobic sequencing batch reactor, 이하 ASBR) 및 연속 흐름 교반 반응조(continuously stirred tank reactor, 이하 CSTR) 형태의 산생성조를 각각 운전하여 지질 분해 및 독성 저감 효율을 살펴보았다. 기질로는 두 가지 불포화(oleate and linoleate), 두 가지 포화(palmitate and stearate) 지방산(long-chain fatty acids, 이하 LCFA)로 구성된 LCFA 혼합물을 사용하였다. 반응조 내의 높은 미생물 보유량에 의해 ASBR이 수리학적 체류시간(hydraulic retention time, 이하 HRT) 12 hr 이하에서 우월한 성능을 보였다. HRT 9시간에서 ASBR은 36.7%의 LCFA 분해, 14.3%의 이중결합 포화, 43.8%의 산생성 효율을 보였으며, 이는 HRT 15시간의 CSTR 보다 각각 19%, 10%, 21% 높은 수치였다. 지질 함유 폐수의 혐기성 소화 시 ASBR을 이용한 산발효가 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

Landfill leachate is one of highly contaminated and heterogeneous wastewater. The leachate from initial landfill can be treated by anaerobic process because it contains biodegradable matters, particularly, volatile fatty acids (VFAs). However, the anaerobic treatment of leachate is generally required longer hydraulic retention time (HRT) than aerobic process and another treatment process to satisfy effluent concentration. Therefore the modification of conventional anaerobic treatment is needed. Two phase anaerobic membrane process (TPAMP) is an integrated membrane process to be able to separate anaerobic metabolism into two phase which are acidogenesis and methanogenesis for improvement of anaerobic treatment efficiency. In this study, the efficiency of TPAMP and conventional anaerobic treatment were compared in terms of HRT, effluent SCOD, VFAs Membrane used in TPAMP was the UF of capillary type with the surface area of $0.048m^2$. The average effluent SCOD of conventional anaerobic treatment was 1352 mg/L and the removal was 96 % at HRT 60 days, while in TPAMP, 927 mg/L and 98% at HRT 30 days.

용해성 glucose를 기질로 하여 혐기성 산발효조에서 동역학정수에 대한 온도의존성을 검토하였다. 온도범위는 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $30^{\circ}C$이며, 포화정수$(K_s\upsilon)$와 증식수율(Y)은 온도의 상승에 따라 감소하였지만, 최대비기질소비속도$(\upsilon_{max})$는 증가하였다. 기질소비속도와 균체 증식속도의 온도보정인자$(Q_{10})$ 값은 각각 1.3에서 2.2, 1.5에서 2.2의 범위를 보였다. 최대비기질소비속도$(\upsilon_{max})$가 증식수율(Y) 보다 온도의 변화에 대하여 더 민감하였다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 $30^{\circ}C$까지의 온도영역에서 체류시간과 기질농도의 관계에 대한 시물레이션 모델은 $1/SRT={(6.53){\cdot}(1.038)^{T-20}{\cdot}(S/X)}/{(1.38){\cdot}(0.983)^{T-20}+(S/X)}$이다.

A packed bed reactor (PBR) was fed with nitrate containing synthetic wastewater or effluent from a sequencing batch reactor used for nitrification. The C source introduced into the PBR consisted of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced from anaerobic acidogenesis of food wastes. When nitrate loading rates ranged from $0.50\;to\;1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, the PBR exhibited $100{\sim}98.8%\;NO_{3}^{-}-N$ removal efficiencies and nitrite concentrations in the effluent ranged from $0\;to\;0.6\;NO_{2}^{-}-N\;mg/L$. When the PBR was further investigated to determine nitrate removal activity along the bed height using a nitrate loading rate less than $1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, 100% nitrate removal efficiency was observed. Approximately 83.2% nitrate removal efficiency was observed in the lower 50% of the packed-bed height. When reactor performance at a C/N ratio of 4 and a C/N ratio of 5 was compared, the PBR showed better removal efficiency (96.5%) of nitrate and less nitrite concentration in the effluent at the C/N ratio of 5. VFAs were found to be a good alternative to methanol as a carbon source for denitrification of a municipal wastewater containing 40 mg-N/L.

In biological wastewater treatment, high lipid concentrations can inhibit the activity of microorganisms critical to the treatment process and cause undesirable biomass flotation. To reduce the inhibitory effects of high lipid concentrations, a two-phase anaerobic system, consisting of an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) and an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor in series, was applied to synthetic dairy wastewater treatment. During 153 days of operation, the two-phase system showed stable performance in lipid degradation. In the ASBR, a 13% lipid removal efficiency and 10% double-bond removal efficiency were maintained. In the UASB, the chemical oxygen demand (COD), lipid, and volatile fatty acid (VFA) removal efficiencies were greater than 80%, 70%, and 95%, respectively, up to an organic loading rate of 6.5 g COD/l/day. No serious operational problems, such as significant scum formation or sludge washout, were observed. Protein degradation was found to occur prior to degradation during acidogenesis.

With benefits to the human health, environment, economy, and energy, anaerobic digestion (AD) systems have attracted remarkable attention within the scientific community. Anaerobic digestion system is created from (bio)reactors to perform a series of bi-metabolism steps including hydrolysis/acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. By considering the physical separation of the digestion steps above, AD systems can be classified into single-stage (all digestion steps in one reactor) and multi-stage (digestion steps in various reactors). Operation of the AD systems does not only depend on the type of digestion system but also relies on the interaction among growth factors (temperature, pH, and nutrients), the type of reactor, and operating parameters (retention time, organic loading rate). However, these interactions were often reviewed inadequately for the single-stage digestion systems. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of both single-stage and multi-stage systems as well as the influence of the growth factors, operating conditions, and the type of reactor on them. From those points, the advantages, disadvantages, and application range of each system are well understood.

Microbial community shifts, associated with performance data, were investigated in an anaerobic batch digester treating high-solid food waste under mesophilic conditions using, a combination of molecular techniques and chemical analysis methods. The batch process was successfully operated with an organic removal efficiency of 44.5% associated with a biogas yield of 0.82 L/g $VS_{removal}$. Microbial community structures were examined by denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis. Clostridium and Symbiobacterium organisms were suggested to be mainly responsible for the organic matter catabolism in hydrolysis and acidogenesis reactions. The dynamics of archaeal and methanogenic populations were monitored using real-time PCR targeting 16S rRNA genes. Methanosarcina was the predominant methanogen, suggesting that the methanogenesis took place mainly via an aceticlastic pathway. Hydrogenotrophic methanogens were also supported in high-solid anaerobic digestion of food waste through syntrophism with syntrophic bacterium. Microbial community shifts showed good agreement with the performance parameters in anaerobic digestion, implying the possibility of diagnosing a high-solid anaerobic digestion process by monitoring microbial community shifts. On the other hand, the batch results could be relevant to the start-up period of a continuous system and could also provide useful information to set up a continuous operation.

본 실험실에서는 음식폐기물을 효율적으로 소화처리하기위해 Pilot 규모 (10톤)의 3단계 메탄 발효 공정을 개발하여 운전하고 있다. 3단계 메탄발효시스템은 반혐기성 가수분해조, 혐기성 산발효조, 혐기성 메탄발효조로 구성되어 있으며, 이 가운데 두 번째 공정인 혐기성 산발효조로부터 알코올발효능이 우수한 균주 KA4를 분리하였다. 세포의 형태는 타원형 모양이며, 크기는 $5.5-6.5{\times}3.5-4.5\;{\mu}m$ 이었고, 26S rDNA D1/D2 rDNA sequence를 분석한 결과를 바탕으로 Saccharomyces cerevisiae KA4로 명명하였다. 이 균주를 YM 배지에서 배양하였을 경우 $30-35^{\circ}C$에서 최대 생장을 보였으며, 배지내의 초기 에탄올 농도가 5% (v/v)까지는 생장에 영향을 받지 않았으나 그 이상에서는 생장에 저해를 받았고 7% 이상에서는 생장하지 못하였다. 한편 초기 50% (w/v)까지의 당 농도에서는 생장이 가능하였으나 잔류 당 농도를 고려할 때 에탄올 발효를 위한 최적 당 농도는 10%이었다. 이 농도의 당을 이용하여 초기 pH4에서 10까지의 넓은 범위에서 에탄올 발효가 가능하였으며 최적 pH는 6이었다 이 때 에탄올 생산량은 7.4%이었으며, 에탄올 생산수율은 2.87 mol EtOH/mol glucose이었다.
