Landfill gas (LFG) generation characteristics in a construction waste landfill zone (block E) and mixed landfill zone (block A) were analyzed. During the period from October 2018 to April 2022, a total of 936×10³ and 1,001×10³ tons of waste were disposed in block E and block A, respectively. Out of this, 27.1% and 55.6% were biodegradable waste in block E and block A, respectively. The landfill masses of the two blocks were converted to be comparable. Then, the biodegradable waste and organic carbon were estimated by element analysis, biodegradable carbon by biochemical methane potential experiment (DC), and sulfate ion by acid decomposition. Results showed that biodegradable waste, organic carbon, biodegradable carbon, and sulfate ions in block A were 2.1, 1.6, 5.2, and 0.4 times greater than those in block E, respectively. The amount of LFG generated by block A was 4.8 times greater than that by block E. The average concentrations of methane (CH₄) were 60.8% and 60.9% in block E and block A, respectively, which were unrelated to the nature of disposed waste. The average concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) were significantly high in block E (4,489 ppm) and block A (8,478 ppm). As the DC/SO₄^2- of block E and block A were 0.35 and 4.56, respectively, increase in DC/SO₄^2- caused increase in not only the total amount but also the concentration of H₂S generated.

Organic wastes such as food waste (FW), livestock wastewater (LW), and sewage sludge (SWS) can produce hydrogen ($H_2$) by anaerobic acid fermentation. Expecially, FW which has high carbohydrate content produces $H_2$ and short chain fatty acids by indigenous $H_2$ producing microorganisms without adding inoculum, however $H_2$ production rate (HPR) and yield have to be improved to use a commercially available technology. In this study, LW was mixed to FW in different ratios (on chemical oxygen demand (COD) basis) as an auxiliary substrate. The mixture of FW and LW was pretreated at pH 2 using 6 N HCl for 12 h and then fermented at $37^{\circ}C$ for 28 h. HPR of FW, 254 mL $H_2/L/h$, was increased with the addition of LW, however, mixing ratio of LW to FW was reversely related to HPR, exhibiting HPR of 737, 733, 599, and 389 mL $H_2/L/h$ at the ratio of FW:LW=10:1, 10:2, 10:3, and 10:4 on COD basis, respectively. Maximum HPR and $H_2$ production yield of 737 $H_2/L/h$ and 1.74 mol $H_2/mol$ hexoseadded were obtained respectively at the ratio of FW:LW=10:1. Butyrate was the main organic acid produced and propionate was not detected throughout the experiment.

SA-TSA 복합구를 이용해 폐활성슬러지로부터 VFAs를 생산하고, 이를 발효 기질로 이용해 PHA를 생산하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 30%의 SA-TSA 복합구를 처리하였을 때 폐활성슬러지의 가용화 효율이 가장 효과적으로 일어나서 약 3,900 mg/L의 SCOD값을 얻었으며, acetic acid, propionic acid, iso-butyric acid 및 butyric acid를 주성분으로 하는 2,961 mg/L 농도의 VFAs를 얻었다. VFAs를 외부탄소원으로 이용하는 SBR 공정을 통해 PHA를 생합성하는 미생물을 농화배양하는 실험을 수행하고 PCR-DGGE로 분석한 결과, 우점 미생물로 Vibrio spp.와 Corynebacterium glutamicum이 확인되었다. 폐활성슬러지로부터 얻은 VFAs를 탄소원으로 사용하여 농화된 혼합미생물배양체를 회분배양한 결과, 건체량의 25.9%에 달하는 PHB를 얻었다. 본 연구결과는 SA-TSA 복합구를 이용하여 폐활성슬러지로부터 VFAs를 얻음으로써 폐슬러지 감량화 효과를 얻고, 또 혼합미생물배양체를 이용하여 VFAs를 바이오폴리머로 전환함으로써 경제성을 확보할 수 있는 새로운 생물공정의 가능성을 보여준다.

하수와 산업폐수를 처리하는데 생물학적 공정이 전세계적으로 이용된다. 생물학적 공정은 복합미생물로 구성된 슬러지를 사용한다. 슬러지 미생물이 성장함에 따라 폐수처리공정에서는 잉여슬러지가 발생한다. 잉여슬러지의 일부는 미생물을 보충하기 위해 폐수처리공정에 반송되지만 나머지는 폐기물로서 처리된다. 매년 전세계적으로 폐수발생이 증가함에 따라 폐수처리장의 수도 증가하여 많은 양의 폐슬러지가 생산된다. 따라서 폐슬러지에 대한 관리와 처리가 중요하다. 폐슬러지 처리비용은 폐수처리장 총운영비의 50-60%를 차지한다고 보고되었다. 슬러지 분해기술은 폐슬러지의 부피를 최소화하고 유용한 성분(예, P, N, 용해성 유기물)을 회수할 수 있는 새로운 기술이다. 물리적, 화학적, 그리고 생물학적 처리 또는 복합 처리에 기반을 둔 다양한 슬러지분해방법들이 개발되었다. 본 총설은 슬러지 분해방법들 중에서 비교적 덜 연구된 산 가수분해에 의한 슬러지 분해에 대해 중점적으로 다루었다. 본 총설에서 다룬 정보는 폐슬러지 처리를 위한 더 나은 기술을 개발하고 이식하는데 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

실리콘 웨이퍼 제조공정 중 발생되는 초산, 질산 및 불산을 함유한 3성분계 폐혼산으로부터 개별산으로 분리하여 재활용할 목적으로 용매추출법을 적용하였다. 각 산의 분리를 위해 사용한 추출제로는 초산의 경우는 EHA(2-Ethylhexlalcohol)를 사용하였고, 질산과 불산의 경우에는 TBP(Tri-butylphosphate)를 사용하여 각 산의 분리과정에 대한 공정설계를 위한 기초 data를 얻고자 하였다. 3성분계 폐혼산에서 초산을 추출 분리하고 이후 추출여액 중 질산 및 불산을 순차적으로 추출 분리 할 수 있는 연속공정개발을 위하여 기초 실험 자료와 McCabe-Thiele해석을 통해 최적 투입유량비(O/A), 소요단수(Stage) 등을 결정하였다. 분석 결과 혼산으로부터 초산의 회수율은 90%이상 이었으며 초산 추출여액에서 질산의 회수율은 90%, 최종 추출잔류액에서 불산의 회수율은 67%이상 이었다.

Acid and alkali pretreatments were applied to tofu processing waste (TPW) to increase the solubility of ingredients in TPW. Pretreatment at 1.0% of HCl and 2.5% of NaOH condition resulted in the increase of SCOD concentration from 3.2 g COD/L to 27 g COD/L and 33 g COD/L, respectively. The acid and alkali-pretreated TPW was studied for its fermentative $H_2$ production capacity in batch mode using a thermophillic mixed culture. Alkali pretreatment on presence of 2.5% NaOH exhibited more soluble portion released compared to acid pretreatment using HCl, however the $H_2$ production from acid pretreated TPW was better than alkali-pretreated TPW probably due to the sodium inhibition on microbial activity. In addition, sewage sludge was externally added to the acid-pretreated (1.0% HCl) TPW by 20% (on volume basis). Average H2 production rate was increased from 31 to 78 ml/L-broth/hr, and it was attributed to the high buffer capacity and abundant nutrients especially divalent cation in sewage sludge.

Zirconium(Zr) nuclear fuel cladding tubes are made using a three-time pilgering and annealing process. In order to remove the oxidized layer and impurities on the surface of the tube, a pickling process is required. Zr is dissolved in HF and $HNO_3$ mixed acid during the process and pickling waste acid, including dissolved Zr, is totally discarded after being neutralized. In this study, the waste acid was recycled by adding $BaF_2$, which reacted with the Zr ion involved in the waste acid; $Ba_2ZrF_8$ was subsequently precipitated due to its low solubility in water. It is very difficult to extract zirconium from the as-recovered $Ba_2ZrF_8$ because its melting temperature is $1031^{\circ}C$. Hence, we tried to recover Zr using an electrowinning process with a low temperature molten salt compound that was fabricated by adding $ZrF_4$ to $Ba_2ZrF_8$ to decrease the melting point. Change of the Zr redox potential was observed using cyclic voltammetry; the voltage change of the cell was observed by polarization and chronopotentiometry. The structure of the electrodeposited Zr was analyzed and the electrodeposition characteristics were also evaluated.

Biohydrogen production from food waste via dark fermentation was conducted by using mixed culture under various environmental conditions (initial pH, initial F/M ratio, initial ferrous iron ($Fe^{2+}$), and temperature condition) in batch reactor. The results revealed that the maximum hydrogen yield of $46.19mL\;H_2/g\;COD_{add}$ was achieved at the optimal conditions (initial pH 8.0, initial F/M ratio 4.0, initial iron concentration 100 mg $FeSO_4/L$ and thermophilic condition ($55{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)). Furthermore, major volatile fatty acid (VFA) productions of butyrate (765.66 mg/L) and acetate (324.69 mg/L) were detected and COD removal efficiency was detected at 66.00%. Therefore, these optimal conditions could be recommended to operate a system.

Fifteen species of microorganisms were isolate form the intestines of fishes, fish feed, and ferment. Eleven microorganisms except HY4, HY8, HY12, and HY13 were Gram-positive, and HY1, HY2, HY3, HY5, HY6, and HY7 produced lactic acid. The species of HY1, HY2, HY3, HY4, HY5, HY6, HY13, and HY14 showed some growth in the medium containing 1% of NaCl. Except HY6, HY7, HY8, HY12 and HY5, 10 isolates had proteolytic activity, whereas only HY13 and HY14 had lipase activity. From all the results four isolates (HY3, HY4, HY13 and HY14) were chosen for the degradation of fish wastes. There was no mutual inhibition among the microorganisms, and the optimum temperature and pH for the growth of the mixed culture were found to be 3 2$\^{C}$ and 7, respectively. Under the optimum growth conditions the maximum optical density and the maximum specific growth rate were estimated to be 2.35 and {TEX}$0.46h^{-1}${/TEX}, respectively. Major microorganisms in the mixed culture at the log-phase were HY3 and HY4, which occupied 70%. The degrading efficiency of fish waste by the mixed microorganisms was 2.3 times higher, compared to control. The total amount of free amino acids in the degraded products from fish wastes was 39g/100g protein and little odor was produced by the mixed microorganisms after 48 hours.
