Metal ions have an adverse effect on anaerobic digestion. In an acetate degradation test of upflow of anaerobic sludge blanket granules with $Cu^{2+}$, not all of the acetate that disappeared was stoichiometrically converted to methane. In the presence of 400 mg/g-VSS (volatile suspended solids) $Cu^{2+}$, only 26% of the acetate consumed was converted to methane. To study acetate conversion by other anaerobic microorganisms, sulfate and nitrate reductions were investigated in the presence of $Cu^{2+}$ Sulfate and nitrate reductions exhibited more resistance to $Cu^{2+}$than methanogenesis, and the granules reduced 2.2 mM and 5.4 mM of nitrate and sulfate, respectively, in the presence of 400 mg/g-VSS copper ion. However, the acetate degraded by sulfate and nitrate reductions was only 24% of the missing acetate that could have been stoichiometrically converted to $CO_2$. Accordingly, 76% of the acetate consumed appeared to have been converted to other unknown compounds.

The purpose of this study is to get optimum operating factors of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor by introducing methods that make it to reduce inhibition possible in each process wastewater treatment. The used substrates, concentrated corn starch liquid (CSL) wastewater, modified starch, filtering and decoloring wastewater, ion refining wastewater, and mixed wastewater including modified starch and not including modified starch, are generated from molasses process. The seeding sludge is the digested sludge that had been applied to molasses wastewater. Batch test to reduce the inhibition factors that might be existed in each wastewater was examined. Based on the this test, the optimum operating factors according to alkalinity and pH variation was studied through the continuous test using three 5.5 L UASB reactor. The first reactor added $NaHCO_3$ to control alkalinity. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) reduced to 8 hours and the organic loading rate increased gradually. The second reactor changed the pH of influent from 7.0 to 6.0 using NaOH. The third reactor was operated without changes to compare the above two reactors. As the result, the inhibition in concentrated CSL wastewater was removed by adding iron (II). When trace metals were added to mixed wastewater not including modified starch, the digestability by gas production rate increased to more fifty percentage than mixed wastewater that was not adding the trace metals. The reason that the inhibition did not decreased in spite of adding trace metals and nutrients was influenced by high concentration generated during the acid fermentation. The UASB reactors using the mixed wastewater with the most effective performance were operated as 500 mg/L as $CaCO_3$ alkalinity and 6.0 pH at steady state, and at this time, the gas production rates were 283 and 311mL gas/g $COD_{added}$. The COD removal rates were 84.7 and 86.3%, respectively.

UASB 반응조를 이용한 옥수수 전분폐수의 처리도를 연속 및 회분식실험으로 조사하였다. 옥수수 전분폐수는 제조공정에 따라 생분해도와 메탄회수율이 달랐다. 유기부하 3.2 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}day$까지 COD 제거율은 70% 이상으로 유지되었으며, 최대 가스발생량은 부하 8.4 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}day$에서 약 55 l/day로서 반응조 단위 체적당 약 3.5 l/day의 가스가 발생하였다. 연속실험과 동시에 수행된 회분식(SBT) 실험에 의하면 슬러지의 활성도는 운전 130일이 경과하는 동안 0.03에서 0.53g $COD-CH_4/g\;VSS{\cdot}day$으로 증가하였으며, 슬러지도 입상화되었다. SBT 실험은 처리대상 폐수에 대한 정보 뿐만 아니라, 슬러지의 활성도에 대한 유익한 정보를 제공하였다. 옥수수 전분폐수를 처리하는 과정에서 형성된 입상슬러지의 형태학적 특성은 주정폐수이나 당을 처리한 입상슬러지와 유사하였다.

This research was performed to investigate the COD removal efficiency and methane production in slurry-typed swine wastes using UASB(upflow anaerobic sludge blanket)reactor. The USAB reactor was operated from 0.8 through 3.3days of HRT in a range of 3 to 15 kg $TCOD/m^3/day$ of volumetric organic loading rate. The removal rate of TCOD was increased with the increase of the HRT. The removal rate of TCOD at an HRT over 2days, became greater than 68% with the methane contents being from 70 to 80%. Methane production rates were increased from 0.27 to $0.36m^3\;CH_4/kg$ CODrem. as HRTs were increased from 0.8 to 3.3days.

This study aims to study the effect of HRT and influent concentration on swine wastewater treatment using UASB(Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket). Sample was separately collected from the piggery farm; urine(liquid part) and solid part to compare their treatment characteristics. Reactors were used two UASB(3.2 L) in this research under constant temperature ($35^{\circ}C$). Their operating conditions were as follows; Run 1(UASB ; HRT 6-days, 1 cycle/d), Run 2(UASB ; HRT 3-days, 1 cycle/d). Biogas was collected and analyzed using GC(HP-6890). By comparing the results of Run 1 and Run 2, the effect of HRT was investigated. The treatment efficiency of Run 1 which had longer HRT was higher than that of Run 2 in both solid and liquid parts of piggery sample. Methane content in collected biogas is more than 80%.

상향류식 슬러지 블랭킷(USB) 반응조에서 탈질 및 메탄생성 동시반응에 N/C(${NO_3}^--N/COD$)비가 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 질산염을 첨가하지 않은 반응조에서 84%의 유입 COD가 메탄가스로 전환되었다. N/C 비가 증가함에 따라, 질소가스의 발생량은 증가하였으나, 메탄가스 발생은 감소하여 N/C 비 0.20 이상에서 중지되었다. 유입된 질산염은 완전히 질소가스로 탈질 되었으나 N/C비가 0.40에서는 유기탄소원의 부족으로 인해 질산염 제거효율이 40% 미만으로 감소하였다. N/C 비가 증가함에 따라 탈질반응에 의해 소비된 COD 양은 증가하였다. 메탄생성 반응은 N/C 비 0.05 이상에서 영향을 받기 시작하였는데, 이는 질산염과 이들의 탈질과정에서 발생된 중간생성물의 저해영향보다는 탈질과 메탄생성에 관여하는 미생물간의 유기탄소원에 대한 기질경쟁으로 설명될 수 있다. 동시 탈질과 메탄생성반응이 발생할 수 있는 임계 N/C 비는 0.20이었으며, 이 범위에서 유입된 COD는 탈질, 메탄생성 및 세포합성을 포함하는 기타 생화학적 반응들에 의해 92% 이상 제거되었다.

UASB-ABF (Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket-aerated bio-filter) 시스템을 이용한 하수의 혐기성처리 방법에서 질소와 인을 제거하는 공법에 대하여 연구하였다. 160일간의 UASB-ABF 시스템을 운영한 결과 유출수 반송을 통하여 TCOD뿐만 아니라, TN과 TP를 효율적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 무반송의 경우 UASB 반응조에서 유기물 제거효율은 64%에 머물었으나, 반송률 120%, 180%, 240%로 증가한 결과 각각 92%, 95%, 96%로 향상되었다. 반송률 180% 이상에서는 유기물 제거효율 증가폭은 크지 않았다. ABF 유출수 반송으로 TN 제거효율이 크게 향상되었다. TN 제거효율은 무반송 조건일 때 18%에서 82%로 향상되었으며, UASB에서 지속적인 유기물질 제거로 인하여 ABF에서 질산화효율은 안정적으로 95% 이상으로 타나났다. ABF 유출수 반송으로 TP 및 $PO{_4}^{3-}$-P 제거효율이 모두 향상되었다. TP의 경우 무반송에서는 거의 제거되지 않았으나, 반송률이 120%, 180%, 240%에서는 각각 51%, 63%, 71%로 향상되었고, 주로 UASB에서 제거되었다.

본 연구에서는 UASB 반응조를 이용한 슬러리형 돈사폐수의 혐기성 소화시 암모니아 부하의 영향을 평가하였다. UASB 반응조는 $0.02{\sim}0.96kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$ 범위의 NVLR로 운전되었으며, 정상상태에서 biogas내 메탄함량은 73.3~77.9%였다. FA 농도는 메탄생성미생물의 저해 범위까지 증가하였으나, 메탄함량을 고려할 때, FA와 TA로 인한 저해는 발생하지 않았다. NVLR이 증가함에 따라 COD 제거율은 악화되었으며, $0.55kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$ 이하의 부하에서 COD 제거율을 60% 이상으로 유지할 수 있었다. NVLR이 0.09에서 $0.96kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$로 증가함에 따라, biogas의 생성량은 3.71에서 9.14L/day로 증가하였으며, COD의 메탄으로 전환율은 0.32에서 $0.20m^3CH_4/kg$으로 감소하였다. FA농도, COD 제거율, 메탄생성률 등을 고려할 때, UASB 반응조는$0.40kg{NH_4}^+-N/m^3/day$ 이하의 NVLR로 운영되어야 한다.

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.

This research examined the treatment efficiency and methane production rate in treating slurry-type swine waste using UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) reactor. The UASB reactor was operated at an organics volumetric loading rate (VLR) of $2.6-15.7kgCOD/m^3/day$. A stepwise increase of the VLR resulted in a temporary deterioration in the COD removal rate in UASB reactor but recovered quickly. The COD removal rate were 65-70% for VLR up to $5 kgCOD/m^3/day$. When organics VLR was $10kgCOD/m^3/day$, the COD removal rate decreased sharply and there was loss of 17.537g of the seeding biomass due to sludge washout. This result indicated that the UASB system cannot be adapted to more than $10kgCOD/m^3/day$ of VLR. As the organic load increased from 2.6 to $15.7kgCOD/m^3/d$, the biogas production rate varied from 3.2 to 10.8 L/d and the methane conversion rate of the organic matter varied from 0.30 to $0.23m^3CH_4/kg\;COD_{removed}$. The methane content showed the range of 70.1-81.5% during the experimental period. The volatile solids (VS) removal efficiency was similar at the low VLR (< $5 kgCOD/m^3/day$), but it decreased sharply at the high VLR (> $5 kgCOD/m^3/day$). The VS reduction rate was, moreover, large those of COD. The result shows that hydraulic retention time above 2 days is essential in case of treating wastewater containing 1% of solids.
