입자의 크기가 $5{\mu}m$ 이하인 미세입자를 함유한 안료 슬러지를 탈수하여 케이크화될 때 기공의 크기가 매우 작아 물의 배출이 어려운 특성이 있다. 기존의 외부가압력으로 탈수하는 기계식 탈수방법으로 탈수하기는 어렵다. 본 연구는 케이크 층에 저온 열을 인가하여 케이크 충의 기공으로부터 물을 원활하게 배출하여 탈수율을 향상시키고자 하는 연구이다. 케이크 층에 일정한 온도를 공급 할 수 있는 Piston형 열 탈수장치를 구축하여 미세 안료 입자 200g에 대하여 탈수 실험을 수행한 결과 여액량은 176.8g, 케이크 무게는 19.4g, 케이크 두께는 4.2mm로 측정되었으며, 함수율은 47wt%이며 면적당 건조 입자의 잔류량(여과 속도)은 $2.1DS\;m^{2}{\cdot}cycle$로 분석되었다. 이 결과는 기존의 기계식 탈수 방법에 의한 결과에 비하여 여액량은 증가하였으며, 케이크 무게와 두께는 감소하였고 탈수속도는 증가하였다. 그리고 함수율은 약 30%감소하여, 전반적으로 탈수율이 매우 향상되는 결과를 도출하였다. 그 이유는 케이크 층에 열을 인가함으로서 케이크 기공에 작용하는 내부 증발압으로 인해 물이 케이크 충으로부터 원활하게 배출되었기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 미세 입자를 함유한 슬러지의 감량화를 위한 고효율 탈수 시스템 구축에 있어 매우 유용한 기술로 평가된다.

The dewatering characteristics of the sewage sludge was investigated through the experimental observations and model simulations. The activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge were examined for the dewaterability evaluation within the pressure range of $0{\sim}10^6N/m^2$. Modified Buchner funnel test and compression test by the consolidometer were conducted to evaluate average specific resistance, porosity, and moisture percentage of filter cake. Shirato's technique of compression-permeability test was followed for the pressure range lower than about $10^2N/m^2$. The flocculation effects on sludge dewatering was also examined for ferric chloride and polymeric flocculant. The application of hydrated lime which can be used for flue-gas desulfurization showed improved moisture percentage, and was thought to have positive feasibility in combined system of sludge dewatering and incineration. Determined characteristic constants were applied to Tiller's cake filtration model to simulate liquid pressure distribution and porosity distribution in cake. Model simulations showed a sharp drop of the porosity close to the cake-medium interface for the highly compressible material such as the activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge.

The dewaterability of a sludge can be characterized by two ways: the residual moisture content in the sludge cake after dewatering process, and the filtration of the sludge. Time to filter (TTF) represents filtration processes that are special cases of the flow through a solid matrix concept. TTF characterizes a resistance to filtration. The sludge resistance, in turn, can be subdivided into resistances associated with the solid phase and the liquid phase to evaluate the effect of each of the two phases on sludge dewaterability. In order to determine the dewatering characteristics of the water sludge samples, TTF and zeta potential were measured. For these studies cationic polymer was chosen for water sludge dewatering experiments. The zeta potential of thickener sludges neared from minus values to zero values till 4 days after sampling. The dewaterability of thickener sludges using cationic polymer was deteriorated according to the increase of detention time. As the detention time was increased from 4 to 10 days, the optimal dose of the polymer was increased from 4 to 8mg/L. Therefore, the optimal detention time plays an important part for the dewaterability of a sludge.

안료 생산 공정의 슬러지로부터 물을 제거하는 감량화 공정은 제품의 질 향상, 건조경비 절감 그리고 안료 운송경비 절감 등의 다양한 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 안료입자는 크기가 $5{\mu}m$ 이하로 미세하여 기계적인 힘에 의한 탈수가 어렵다. 미세입자의 탈수율 향상을 위해 기존의 필터프레스 탈수장치의 압착판 사이에 고정 열판을 장착하고, 열수를 고정열판에 공급하여 케이크 층에 열을 공급하여 슬러지 탈수하는 열필터프레스 탈수장치를 개발하였다. 이 장치를 통해 압착공정의 유무 탈수시간 변화와 같은 변수 실험을 통해 안료슬러지에 대한 탈수율 평가하였다. 그 결과 열 탈수 시 압착공정에 의한 탈수율이 비압착공정에 비하여 약 20% 증가하였다. 압착공정이 있는 경우, 탈수시간을 70분과 80분으로 하여 수행한 결과 탈수시간이 80분으로 길게 하였을 때, 함수율 46.7wt%에서 43.9wt%로 감소하였고, 탈수속도는 $4.0DSkg/m^2{\cdot}hr$에서 $3.5DSkg/m^2{\cdot}hr$으로 감소한 것으로 분석되었다. 열 탈수는 케이크 층으로부터 액체의 배출을 원활이 할 수 있어 장치의 여과포 막힘 현상(Clogging)을 최소화 할 수 있음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해, 압착공정이 탈수율 향상에 효과적이며, 탈수시간이 80분으로 길게 할 경우, 저함수율 탈수 케이크를 생산할 수 있지만 탈수속도의 감소로 인한 생산량 저감을 초래할 수 있다. 즉 본 연구에서 개발한 열필터프레스 탈수장치를 안료와 같은 미세입자가 함유된 슬러지에 적용한다면 보다 효과적으로 탈수케이크를 생산 할 수 있을 것으로 분석된다.

불가사리와 조개껍질의 폐 수산자원을 개량제로 이용한 도시하수 슬러지의 탈수능 향상 연구를 수행하였다. 불가사리와 조개껍질을 105∼$700^{\circ}C$로 열처리하여 사용하였으며, 탈수방법으로는 원심분리와 벨트프레스를 사용하였다. 총 고형물 기준으로 개량제를 1∼8g/100mL 주입하여 탈수 후 슬러지 케익의 함수율을 15∼22% 저감시키는 결과를 얻었다. 개량제 주입 후 슬러지의 탈수 특성을 평가하기 위하여 CST(Capillary Suction Time)를 측정하였다. 불가사리 첨가 후 CST는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 조개껍질 첨가 후 CST는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 조개껍질이 불가사리보다 탈수 효율이 나은 결과를 보였으며, 열처리 온도에 대한 효과는 무시할 수 있을 정도로 적게 나타났다.

Application of electrodewatering (EDW) to mechanical dewatering system was studied to decrease water content in the sludge generated from waste water treatment process. Experiments realized the reduction of water content in the sewage sludge. EDW enhancing the conventional filtration by an electric field is an emerging technology with the potential to improve dewatering. In this study, a piston filter press was constructed, the digested sludges were dewatered by EDW under conditions of DC electric field and constant pressure in the piston filter press. Constant electric field from $0{\sim}120\;V/cm$ and constant pressure $98.1{\sim}392.4\;kPa$ were used. The results showed that as electric field was increased the dewatering rates increased and as pressure was increased the dewatering rates decreased. Also as polymer was added the dewatering rates increased. This experiments produced final sludge cake with water content of 60 wt% using EDW, compared with 80 wt% using pressure filtration alone.

When incineration method is utilized as a disposal process of sludge, the treatment generally consists of thickening, dewatering and incineration, implying that sludge dewaterability has a colose relationship with operating condition of a thickener. Dewatering factors should be, therefore investigated for achieving effective sludge treatment. No research on this has been performed in Korea. This study has focused on the evaluation on the effects of thickener operating variables on sludge dewatering, including sludge feed types and retention time. Mixing ratio of the first and the second sludge and operation time were varied in order to observe the change of dewaterability and optimum input of chemical conditioner.

This study is to develop the pretreatment for the excess and digested sludge by electro-coagulation and dewatering. Electrocoagulation is applied to excess and digested sludge before transferring to the piston type press for dewatering. Piston type filter press as a laboratory scale plant was used to estimate the dewaterability. MMD of excess sludge was increased from initial diameter of particles(34.16 ${\mu}m$) to the 87%(64.01 ${\mu}m$) after electrocoagulation. AI electrode is more effective than Fe electrode for the dewaterability of excess sludge. Electrodewatering after electrocoagulation as pretreatment makes the water content of sludge cake $50{\sim}60$ wt%.

A laboratory-scale electrodewatering system for enhancing conventional filter pressure dewatering by an electric field has been developed to decrease the water content of sludge generated in the wastewater treatment. It consists of a piston-typed filter press, a power supply and data acquisition system. The offset of electrodewatering is investigated as a function of applied pressure, applied voltage, sludge type and filtration time. Also the optimal conditions for maximizing the dewatering efficiency in the eletrodewatering system are investigated. Electric field strength and mechanical pressure are in the range of from 0 to 120 V/cm and from 98.1 to 392.4 kPa. The dewatering rates increased with increasing electric strength. These experiments produced a final sludge cake with water content of 60 wt% using electrodewatering technology, compared with a 80 wt% using pressure filtration alone. The conventional filtration system using the electrodewatering shows the potential to be effective method for improving dewatering Sludge.

In this study, we found that dewatering properties were related with physico-chemical properties such as sludge concentration, pH, and zeta potential with sewage sludge, Ionic contents in digested sludge were in the order of $Ca^{2+}$ (14.2 mg/g) > $Mg^{2+}$ (1.9 mg/g) > $Na^+$ (1.4 mg/g) > $K^+$ (1.0 mg/g). Divalent ion more than monovalent have influenced on physico-chemical and dewatering properties. Floc size distribution in activated (AS) and digested sludge (DS) increased on lower pH range to be near isoelectric point and than specific resistance to filtration (SRF) decreased. A linear increase in SRF ($5.25\times10^{13}\sim2.86\times10^{14}$ m/kg in AS and $6.89\times10^{14}\sim1.09\times10^{15}$ m/kg in DS) was observed throughout low concentration range of 1230~9960 mg/L in AS and 2700~5400 mg/L in DS.
