Bioremediation, which uses microbes to degrade most organic pollutants in soil and groundwater, can be used in solving environmental issues in various polluted sites. In this research, a wind-driven bioventing system is built to degrade about 20,000 mg/kg of high concentration diesel pollutants in soil-pollution mode. The wind-driven bioventing test was proceeded by the bioaugmentation method, and the indigenous microbes used were Bacillus cereus, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, and Pseudomonas putida. The phenomenon of two-stage diesel degradation of different rates was noted in the test. In order to interpret the results of the mode test, three microbes were used to degrade diesel pollutants of same high concentration in separated aerated batch-mixing vessels. The data derived thereof was input into the Haldane equation and calculated by non-linear regression analysis and trial-and-error methods to establish the kinetic parameters of these three microbes in bioventing diesel degradation. The results show that in the derivation of μ_m (maximum specific growth rate) in biodegradation kinetics parameters, K_s (half-saturation constant) for diesel substance affinity, and K_i (inhibition coefficient) for the adaptability of high concentration diesel degradation. The K_s is the lowest in the trend of the first stage degradation of Bacillus cereus in a high diesel concentration, whereas K_i is the highest, denoting that Bacillus cereus has the best adaptability in a high diesel concentration and is the most efficient in diesel substance affinity. All three microbes have a degradation rate of over 50% with regards to Pristane and Phytane, which are branched alkanes and the most important biological markers.

The effect of pH on anaerobic hydrogen production was investigated under various pH conditions ranging from pH 3 to 10. When the modified Gompertz equation was applied to the statistical analysis of the experimental data, the hydrogen production potential and specific hydrogen production rate at pH 5 were 1,182 ml and 112.5 ml/g biomass-h, respectively. In this experiment, the maximum theoretical hydrogen conversion ratio was 22.56%. The Haldane equation model was used to find the optimum pH for hydrogen production and the maximum specific hydrogen production rate. The optimum pH predicted by this model is 5.5 and the maximum specific hydrogen production rate is 119.6 ml/g VSS-h. These data fit well with the experimented data($r^2=0.98$).

pH가 혐기성 수소 발효에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해 배양기간 동안 pH를 $3\sim10$까지 일정하게 유지시킨 상태에서 수소생산 효율을 살펴보았다. 유입기질을 sucrose로 하여 생성된 가스는 이산화탄소와 수소였으며 메탄가스는 검출되지 않았다. 수정 Gompartz 방정식을 이용하여 수소가스 발생량$(P_h)$과 최대수소 생성율$(R_h)$을 회귀분석하였을 때 pH 5에서 수소가스 발생량$(P_h)$은 약 1182 mL이고 최대수소 생성율$(R_h)$은 112.46 mL/g dry wt biomass/hr이였다. 수소 전환율은 22.56%이였으며 butyrate/acetate 비가 pH 5에서는 1.63, pH 6에서는 0.38로 ratio값이 높은 pH 5에서 효율이 더 좋다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Haldane equation을 이용하여 비수소생산율을 산정해 본 결과 최대 비수소생산율은 119.61 mL/g VSS/hr이였고, 최대 비수소생산율을 나타내는 pH는 5.5로 판명되었다.
