본 연구는 메탄생성에 직접적으로 관여하는 혼합 메탄균과 셀롤로스 등의 고분자 물질의 가수분해 반응에 활성이 뛰어난 반추위 내 혐기성 섬유소분해균 중에서 대표적인 Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens 및 Ruminococcus albus를 biochemical methane potential (BMP) 시험에 첨가하였을 때 메탄 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 수행되었다. BMP시험은 멸균증류수를 첨가한 control과 각각의 미생물 배양액을 첨가한 혼합 메탄균 첨가구 (M), F. succinogenes 첨가구 (FS) R. flavefaciens 첨가구 (RF), R. albus 첨가구 (RA) 및 RA+FS 혼합첨가구와 M+RA+FS 혼합 첨가구로 총 7개 처리구로 각 처리구별 3반복으로 진행되었다. 미생물 배양액의 첨가량은 식종액과 양돈슬러리에 1% (0.5 mL), 3% (1.5 mL) 및 5% (2.5 mL) 씩 첨가 하였다. BMP 시험을 위해 60일간 배양이 지속되었고 중온소화를 위해 $38^{\circ}C$의 배양기에서 수행되었다. 실험의 결과 총 바이오가스 발생량은 5% RF와 RA+FS가 대조구에 비하여 8.1 및 8.4%로 가스발생량이 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 메탄발생량은 3% 미생물 배양액 첨가구 중 M+RA+FS를 제외하고 대조구에 비하여 증가시키는 경향을 보였으며, 5% 배양액을 첨가하였을 때는 대조구에 대하여 5%의 M, FS, RF, RA, RA+FS, 및 M+RA+FS RF가 각각 12.1, 12.6, 17.3, 13.7, 17.9 및 14.7%로 메탄가스발생량을 증가시켰다 (p<0.05). TS 및 VS 분해율은 가스발생량과는 관계없이 모든 처리구에서 미생물 배양액의 첨가량이 증가하더라도 차이가 없었다. BMP 종료시 배양액내 pH는 모든 처리구가 7.527~7.657의 범위로 메탄발효에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 결론적으로, 본 실험에서는 양돈 슬러리의 성분특성으로 인해 가수분해단계와 메탄생성단계 모두에 첨가한 미생물 배양액이 효과가 있었으나, 5% 첨가수준을 제외하고 낮은 첨가수준에서는 첨가효과가 나타나지는 않았다.

With the rapid industrialization, an ever-increasing quantity and kind of new organic compounds pose environmental problems due to their toxicity and physiological effect. However, research on the biodegradation of these compounds under anaerobic condition is very limited inspite of its efficiency and economical advantage. In this research, the pH effect on the ring cleavage of phenol under anaerobic condition was investigated, and the theory of phase separation was applied to the degradation of phenol for investigating the role of acidogenic bacteria. Results, obtained from biochemical methane potential(BMP) assay for 15.5 days of incubation, showed that acidic condition was more desirable for phenol degradation than alkaline condition. By both unacclimated methanogenic granular sludge and two mixed cultures, phenol was completely removed within six weeks of incubation with a gas conversion rate of over 86% of theoretical one. However, phenol was not degraded by unacclimated acidogenic culture, and thus it is considered as a syntrophic substrate. In case of phase separated biochemical methane potential(PSBMP) assay, in which acidogenic and methanogenic culture were seeded separately and consecutively, those that had been subjected to normal acidogens for 3 to 4 weeks showed higher gas production than those seeded with sterile or frozen culture.

In this study, the influencing factors for efficient anaerobic digestion of high strength ammonia-nitrogen wastewater removal were investigated by testing biochemical methane potential test. In the influencing factors, the trace metals which could increase activity of anaerobic microorganisms, microbial concentration and types were evaluated. In the results, trace metals supplementation showed gas production amount higher than those without addition of trace metals. Among the tested trace metals, B, Ni, and Se were preferable to gas production. In the result of gas production according to the microbial concentration, the amount of gas production was proportional to the microbial concentration. In addition, the shortest lag time and the fastest gas production rate were achieved when the highest microbial concentration was tested. granule-type microorganism produced more gas than suspended-type microorganism. In conclusion, the efficient anaerobic digestion for high strength ammonia-nitrogen wastewater removal could be achieved by applying necessary trace metals injection and high concentration granule type microorganism.

The main object of this study was to offer information about incoming waste in landfill and to evaluate biochemical methane and hydrogen sulfide potentials of landfill wastes. We examined brick, soil, mixed waste (C&D waste and MSW) samples for the study. The leaching experiments showed that BOD, COD and sulfate were determined in the range of 0~18,816 mg/kg, 85~21,100 mg/kg and 160~1,205 mg/kg, respectively in 6hr extraction test. An accumulated extraction tests for 140day were determined BOD 226~197,219 mg/kg, COD 436~242,588 mg/kg and Sulfate 1,090~25,140 mg/kg. Also, BMP (biochemical methane potential) tests were carried out to examine methane and hydrogen sulfide yields for the 3 different wastes. As a result, methane yield was determined to 262.68 mL $CH_4/g$ VS of MSW and 0~17.75 mL $CH_4/g$ VS in brick, soil and C&D waste. Higher hydrogen sulfide yield was observed to 0.079mL $H_2S/g$ VS in C&D waste. This result indicate that brick and soil could be sources of sulfate, and higher production of hydrogen sulfide could be odor problem and inhibitor of methane production.

세계적으로 온실가스 감축을 위해 주로 이산화탄소 발생에 초점을 맞춰왔지만, 최근에는 메탄 발생에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 습지, 저수지, 호소 등 수중 환경을 포함한 자연은 온실 가스 중요한 발원지이다. 호수와 저수지 바닥에 쌓인 퇴적된 유기 오염물질은 산소가 부족한 상태에서 미생물 분해를 통해 메탄과 같은 온실 가스를 생성할 수 있다. 메탄 배출은 비점오염원의 증가와 하천에 설치되는 횡단 구조물에 의한 흐름변화에 의해 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 기후 변화로 인한 수온의 상승 등은 메탄 배출을 가속화하는 원인이다. 메탄은 다양한 경로를 통해 대기로 배출될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 메탄발생의 주요인자가 미치는 영향을 정량화하기 위하여 BMP test을 수행하였다. 실험조건에 따라 메탄발생량을 직접 계측하였으며, 실험조건은 온도, 기질의 종류, 전단응력 및 퇴적물 특성으로 구분하였다. 또한, 바닥의 전단 응력은 실험적으로 측정하기가 어려워 수치모의를 수행하였다. 실험결과, 생화학적 요소는 메탄 생성에 영향을 미치지만, 전단 속도는 메탄 분리에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 퇴적물 특성은 메탄 생성 및 분리에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 메탄 생성과 주요인자들 간의 관계를 경험식으로 제시하였으며, 향후 전단응력 및 유기물에 대한 실험조건을 구체화하고 실험규모를 확대한다면 메탄발생과 생지화학 및 수환경인자간의 관계를 도출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: The biogas productivity potential of fish waste (FW) was evaluated. Methods: Batch trials were carried out in 1.3 L glass digesters kept in a temperature controlled chambers at $36.5^{\circ}C$. The first order kinetic model and the modified Gompertz model were evaluated for biogas production. The Chen and Hashimoto model was used to determine the critical hydraulic retention time (HRT $_{Critical}$) for FW under mesophilic conditions. The feasibility of co-digestion of FW with animal manure was studied. Results: The biogas and methane potential of FW was found to be 757 and 554 mL/g VS, respectively. The methane content in the biogas produced from FW was found to be 73% and VS removal was found to be 77%. There was smaller difference between measured and predicted biogas production when using the modified Gompertz model (16.5%) than using first order kinetic model (31%). The time period for 80%-90% of biogas production ($T_{80-90}$) from FW was calculated to be 50.3-53.5 days. Similarly, the HRT $_{Critical}$ for FW was calculated to be 13 days under mesophilic conditions. The methane production from swine manure (SM) and cow manure (CM) digesters could be enhanced by 13%-115% and 17%-152% by mixing 10%-90% of FW with SM and CM, respectively. Conclusions: The FW was found to be highly potential substrate for anaerobic digestion for biogas production. The modified Gompertz model could be more appropriate in describing anaerobic digestion process of FW. It could be promising for co-digestion of FW with animal manure.

This study evaluated the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of primary sludge, secondary sludge, and food waste in batch anaerobic mono-digestion tests, and investigated the effects of mixture ratio of those organic wastes on methane yield and production rate in batch anaerobic co-digestion tests, that were designed based on a simplex mixture design method. The BMP of primary sludge, secondary sludge and food waste were determined as 234.2, 172.7, and 379.1 mL CH₄/g COD, respectively. The relationships between the mixing ratio of those organic wastes with methane yield and methane production rate were successfully expressed in special cubic models. Both methane yield and methane production rate were estimated as higher when the mixture ratio of food waste was higher. At a mixing ratio of 0.5 and 0.5 for primary sludge and food waste, the methane yield of 297.9 mL CH₄/g COD was expected; this was 19.4% higher than that obtained at a mixing ratio of 0.3333, 0.3333 and 0.3333 for primary sludge, secondary sludge, and food waste (249.5 mL CH₄/g COD). These findings could be useful when designing field-scale anaerobic digersters for mono- and co-digestion of sewage sludges and food waste.

마이크로웨이브(MW)는 유전가열에 의한 열적, 비열적 그리고 이온성 전도 효과를 가지며 높은 에너지 효율을 보이므로 유기성 폐기물의 가용화에 대해 효과적인 방법이다. 본 연구는 고형물 함량이 높은 우분을 대상으로 MW를 이용하여 가용화 최적 조건을 도출하고 이를 토대로 MW의 유전가열 특성을 향상시키기 위해 화학적 촉매물질인 $H_2SO_4$과 NaCl을 첨가하여 우분의 가용화율과 가용화 방법에 따른 biochemical methane potential (BMP)을 평가하였다. 우분 고형물 농도 12%와 MW 출력 800 W 및 설정온도 $40^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 70.5 mg $SCOD_{increased}/kJ$로 에너지 대비 최대 가용화율을 보여주었으며, 이때의 SCOD 농도는 원시료 대비 53.2% 증가하였다. 가용화 최적 조건에서 화학적 촉매로 $H_2SO_4$를 주입하였을 경우 MW 단독 처리 대비 SCOD 농도는 36% 증가하였으며, NaCl을 주입하였을 경우 22.7% 증가하였다. BMP test에서도 우분 원시료 대비 MW를 이용한 가용화는 메탄 생성량이 6.7%, $H_2SO_4$를 주입한 MW 가용화는 13.3%, NaCl을 주입한 MW 가용화는 11.3% 증가하였다. 따라서 마이크로웨이브는 우분의 가용화 전처리에 효율적인 수단이며, 마이크로웨이브의 가용화 효율을 높이기 위해서는 화학적 촉매를 이용할 필요가 있다.

In the quiescent state, cattle-manure slurry stratifies into three discernible layers, namely a floating scum layer, a bottom sludge layer and a watery middle layer. The proportions of top (scum), middle and bottom (sludge) layers were approximately 20, 60 and 20% respectively of the volume of the whole slurry. Particulate matter from the different stratified layers was characterised for particle size distribution and cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin composition. Total solids concentrations of top, middle and bottom layers were 12.7, 2.8 and 7.4% respectively. Larger particles were found in the top layer compared with the bottom. The top layer contained the highest amounts of Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF), Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF), cellulose and hemicellulose, but the lowest amount of Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN). The bottom layer contained the highest amounts of Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL) and TKN. With increase in particle size, there were increases in NDF, ADF, cellulose and hemicellulose, accompanied by decreases in ADL and TKN. Biochemical methane potential of the three layers was also measured. The top layer was found to produce the most methane with the middle layer producing the least. Biomethanation rate from the top layer was also the highest. Differences in biomethanation rates and biochemical methane potential were attributed to differences in chemical composition of the particulate matter. About 48%, 23% and 30% of the total chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the top, middle and bottom layers respectively of the slurry was found to be degradable.

하수슬러지의 초음파 전처리시 용존성 유기물의 증가와 혐기성 생분해도 향상을 평가하였다. 하수슬러지의 초음파에 의한 가용화는 세포벽의 파괴로 인하여 용해성 화학적 산소요구량, 단백질 및 탄수화물의 농도 증가와 입자크기를 감소시켰다. 혐기성 생분해도 측면에서초음파 전처리는 메탄가스 발생량을 증가시켜 혐기성 생분해를 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 하수슬러지의 생화학적 메탄 잠재 발생량 실험결과 초음파 전처리 후 슬러지의 최종 메탄 수율은 294.3 ml $CH_4/gVS$로 나타나 전처리를 하지 않은 경우 211.3 ml $CH_4/gVS$에 비해 약 40 % 향상된 값을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과를 고려 시 하수슬러지의 가용화는 혐기성 생분해도 향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
