메탄활성 침출수가 매립폐기물 분해에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 내경 30cm, 높이 200cm, 실용량 140L의 원통형 PVC로 모형매립조 4기를 제작하였으며, 침출수의 생물학적처리와 재순환을 위한 혐기화조를 내경 20cm 높이 30cm로하여 2기 제작하였다. L1은 일반적인 매립지를 모사하기 위해 재순환을 행하지 아니하였고, L2는 침출수를 우수의 2배인 1,068ml로 재순환하였다. L3와 L4는 발생된 침출수를 $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 유지되는 암실에서 1주일간 혐기성소화조에서 소화시킨 후 상등수를 L3, L4에 각각 1,064ml, 2.128ml 재순환하였다. 누적메탄발생량이 L3와 L4가 L1과 L2에 비해 약 3배 높게 발생하였으며, 메탄활성 침출수의 재순환량이 더 많은 L4이 L3보다 1.23배 높게 나타났다. 이는 메탄활성 침출수 재순환이 재순환되는 메탄균에 의해 분해가 더 활성화 된 것으로 판단되며, 메탄활성 침출수의 재순환 양에 따라 메찬회수율이 다르다는 것을 알 수 있다.

The relationship between the layered structure of granules in UASB reactors and microbial resistance to toxicity was investigated using disintegrated granules. When no toxic materials were added to the media, the intact and disintegrated granules exhibited almost the same ability to decrease COD and to produce methane. However, when metal ions and organic toxic chemicals were added to a synthetic wastewater, he intact granules were found to be more resistant to toxicity than the disintegrated granules, as determined by the methane production. The difference in resistance between the intact and disintegrated granules was maximal, with toxicant concentrations ranging from 0.5 mM to 2 mM for trichloroethylene with toluene and 5 mM to 20 mM for metal ions (copper, nickel, zinc. chromium, and cadmium ions). The augmented COD removal rate by granulation compared to disintegrated granules was also measured in the treatment of synthetic and real wastewaters; synthetic wastewater, $-2.6\%$; municipal wastewater, $2.8\%$; swine wastewater, $6.4\%$; food wastewater, $25.0\%$; dye works wastewater, $42.9\%$; and landfill leachate, $61.8\%$. Continuous reactor operation also demonstrated that the granules in the UASB reactor were helpful in treating toxic wastewater, such as landfill leachate.

Methanotrophs are the most important sink of $CH_4$, which is a more highly potent greenhouse gas than $CO_2$. Methanotrophic abundance and community diversity in cover soils from two typical semi-aerobic landfills (SALs) in China were detected using real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time-PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) based on 16S rRNA genes, respectively. Real time-PCR showed that Type I methanotrophs ranged from $1.07{\times}10^6$ to $2.34{\times}10^7$ copies/g soil and that of Type II methanotrophs from $1.51{\times}10^7$ to $1.83{\times}10^8$ copies/g soil. The ratio of Type II to Type I methanotrophic copy numbers ranged from 5.61 to 21.89, indicating that Type II methanotrophs dominated in SAL. DGGE revealed that Type I methanotrophs responded more sensitively to the environment, changing as the community structure varied with different soil types and locations. Methylobacter, Methylosarcina, and Methylomicrobium for Type I, and Methylocystis for Type II were most prevalent in the SAL cover layer. Abundant interflow $O_2$ with high $CH_4$ concentration in SALs is the reason for the higher population density of methanotrophs and the higher enrichment of Type II methanotrophs compared with anaerobic landfills and other ecosystems, which proved a conclusion that increasing the oxygen supply in a landfill cover layer would greatly improve $CH_4$ mitigation.

매립지를 직접 생태학적으로 모니터링하는 방법을 개발하고자, 매립지 내의 생화학적 반응에 관여하는 세균들과 효소의 양을 정량함과 동시에 지하수 수질인자와 상호 연관성을 조사하여 생태학적 인자와의 연계 이용 가능성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 4개의 매립 종료된 비위생 매립지(천안(C), 원주(W), 논산(N), 평택(P) 매립지)에서 계절별로 지하수 시료를 채취하였으며 동시에 16S rDNA 방법을 사용하여 미생물 다양성을 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로, 매립지에서 주로 발견되는 세균과 효소를 대표하는 유전자를 정량하기 위한 특이 프라이머 쌍을 제작하였으며 상관계수에 기초하여 수질인자와 유전자 지표 인자간의 정량적 관련성을 비교하였다. 그 결과 DSR(황환원 세균) gene과 BOD(생화학적 산소요구량)사이의 상관관계는 0.8 이상인데 반해 NSR(질산화 세균-Nitrospira sp.) gene과 질산성 질소는 0.9 이상이었다. 안정화지표(BOD/COD)와 MTOT(메탄 산화 세균), MCR(Methyl coenzyme M reductase), Dde(Dechloromonas denitrificans) gene들은 0.8 이상의 상관관계를 가졌으나 3가 철과 Fli(Ferribacterium limineticm) gene은 0.7로 낮았다. MTOT gene의 경우, BOD/COD과의 관련성이 100%에 가깝게 높았다. 또한, 혐기성 유전자들(nirS-아질산 환훤효소, MCR, Dde, DSR)과 DO 역시 0.8 이상으로 나타나 일반적인 매립지 혐기성 반응들이 DO에 크게 의존함을 보였다. 결론적으로 분자생물학적 조사와 수질인자가 높은 상호연관성이 있었으며 real-time PCR이 전통적인 모니터링 인자들과 동시에 상호 보완적으로 모니터링에 사용됨으로써 매립지안정화 및 주변 영향을 평가하는데 효율적으로 사용 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Bacteria that mediate the anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) have been detected in natural ecosystems, as well as various wastewater treatment systems. In this study, sludge from a particular landfill leachate anaerobic treatment system was selected as the incubation seed for anammox microorganism enrichment owing to its possible anammox activity. Transmission electron microscopy observation, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis, and cloning/sequencing techniques were applied to identify the diversity of anammox microorganisms throughout the incubation. During the early stage of operation, the diversity of anammox microorganisms was similar to the original complex microbes in the seed sludge. However, as incubation time increased, the anammox microorganism diversity within the system that was originally dominated by Candidatus (Ca.) Brocadia sp. was replaced by Ca. Anammoxoglobus propionicus. The domination of Ca. Anammoxoglobus propionicus produced a stable removal of ammonia (70 mg-N/l) and nitrite (90 mg-N/l), and the total nitrogen removal efficiency was maintained at nearly 95%. The fluorescence in situ hybridization results showed that Ca. Anammoxoglobus propionicus was successfully enriched from $1.8{\pm}0.6%$ initially to $65{\pm}5%$ after 481 days of operation. Therefore, the present results demonstrated the feasibility of enriching Ca. Anammoxoglobus propionicus from leachate sludge, even though the original cell count was extremely low. Application of this seldom found anammox organism could offer an alternative to current ammonia-nitrogen treatment.

본 연구는 도시폐기물을 매립지에서 발생하는 침출오수를 실험실에서 유기질 도시폐기물을 충진한 모형매립반응조를 이용하여 각기 다른 체류시간에 따른 침출오수 순환방식과 비순환방식으로 운영했을 때의 안정화에 소요되는 기간을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 pH 조정(중성)에 의한 침출오수 재순환은 매립지내의 혐기성균을 급속하게 증대시켜 유기물의 생물학적 분해를 가속화시키고 안정화기간을 단축시켰다. 침출오수의 BOD와 COD의 경우 초기에는 COD=BOD 였으나, 매립기간이 경과함에 따라 COD>BOD, $COD{\gg}BOD$ 의 추세를 보였다. 가스발생량은 침출오수 비순환반응조보다 재순환반응조에서 더욱 많이 발생하였고 체류시간이 짧을수록 가스발생량이 증가하였다.

Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) system employs granular sludge to treat various wastewaters including landfill leachate. CH$_4$ production of the granules determines overall performance of a UASB reactor. Sludge granules are developed by self-granulation of microorganisms and dynamic balance between granule growth and decay results in coexistence of granules with different sizes in the reactor. In this study, granules taken from a laboratory-scale UASB reactor were classified into 4 groups based on their diameters and their Physicochemical characteristics we were investigated. Each group was analyzed for settling ability, specific methanogenic activity (SMA), and elemental content. Settling ability was proportional to granule diameter. suggesting effective detainment of larger granules in the reactor. When acetate or glucose was used as a substrate, all groups showed relatively slight difference in SMA. However SMA with a volatile fatty acid mixture showed significant increase with granule diameter, suggesting better establishment of syntrophic relationship in larger granules. Larger granules showed higher value of SMA upon environmental changes (i.e., PH, temperature, or toxicant concentration). Comparative analysis of elemental contents showed that content (dry weight %) of most tested elements (iron, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, nickel. and manganese) deceased with granule diameter, suggesting importance of these elements for initial granulation. Taken together, this study verified experimentally that Physicochemical Properties of granules are related to granule size distributions. Overall results of physicochemical characterization supports that larger.

Anaerobic digestion(AD) has successfully been used for many applications that have conclusively demonstrated its ability to recycle biogenic wastes. AD has been successfully applied in industrial waste water treatment, stabilsation of sewage sludge, landfill management and recycling of biowaste and agricultural wastes as manure, energy crops. During AD, i.e. organic materials are decomposed by anaerobic forming bacteria and fina1ly converted to excellent fertilizer and biogas which is primarily composed of methane(CH4) and carbon dioxide(CO2) with smaller amounts of hydrogen sulfide(H2S) and ammonia(NH3), trace gases such as hydrogen(H2), nitrogen(N2), carbon monoxide(CO), oxygen(O2) and contain dust particles and siloxanes. The production and utilisation of biogas has several environmental advantages such as i)a renewable energy source, ii)reduction the release of methane to the atomsphere, iii)use as a substitute for fossil fuels. In utilisation of biogas, most of biogas produced from small scale plant e.g. farm-scale AD plant are used to provide as energy source for cooking and lighting, in most of the industrialised countries for energy recovery, environmental and safety reasons are used in combined heat and power(CHP) engines or as a supplement to natural. In particular, biogas to use as vehicle fuel or for grid injection there different biogas treatment steps are necessary, it is important to have a high energy content in biogas with biogas purification and upgrading. The energy content of biogas is in direct proportion to the methane content and by removing trace gases and carbon dioxide in the purification and upgrading process the energy content of biogas in increased. The process of purification and upgrading biogas generates new possibilities for its use since it can then replace natural gas, which is used extensively in many countries, However, those technologies add to the costs of biogas production. It is important to have an optimized purification and upgrading process in terms of low energy consumption and high efficiency giving high methane content in the upgraded gas. A number of technologies for purification and upgrading of biogas have been developed to use as a vehicle fuel or grid injection during the passed twenty years, and several technologies exist today and they are continually being improved. The biomethane which is produced from the purification and the upgrading process of biogas has gained increased attention due to rising oil and natural gas prices and increasing targets for renewable fuel quotes in many countries. New plants are continually being built and the number of biomethane plants was around 100 in 2009.
