본 실험은 산업 현장에서 광범위하게 사용하고 있는 유기용제인 Trichloroethylene (TCE)이 저장탱크누출, 작업장에서의 취급 부주의, 매립지 침출수 유출 등을 통해 토양과 지하수를 오염시킬 우려가 있는 물질이므로 토양내에서의 TCE의 흡착성향을 파악하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 이를위해 토양의 유기물 함량과 석회 시용량을 달리하여 TCE에 대한 Freundlich 등온흡착식 상수 k와 n을 결정하였다. 유기물함량은 sewage sludge cake을 0ton/ha, 50ton/ha, 100ton/ha 수준으로 처리하고 S1, S2, S3라 명명하였다. 석회는 2ton/ha, 4ton/ha, 6ton/ha, 10ton/ha. 수준으로 처리하였다. sewage sludge cake을 수준별로 처리한 실험에서 구한 Freundlich 등온흡착식은 다음과 같다. (단, TCE 처리 농도범위가 0.5~2.5ng/g soil 일 경우임) S1 : x/m = 0.393 $C^2$, S2 : x/m = 0.436 $C^2$, S3 : x/m = 0.636 $C^2$위 식에서 보듯이 k값이 sewage sludge cake 처리수준이 증가할수록 0.393, 0.436, 0.636으로 증가하므로 TCE 처리농도가 같다면 sewage sludge cake 처리수준이 높은 토양일수록 TCE에 대한 흡착효율이 좋았다. 반면 석회시용 수준이 증가할수록 토양의 pH는 증가하였고 TCE 흡착능력은 감소하였다.

하수 및 상수 처리장에서 발생되는 탈수케이크의 감량화와 재활용 가능한 물질로 생산하기 위한 방안으로 공기건조장치를 구축하였다. 80 m/sec의 공기속도와 30 $m^3/min$의 공기유량, 그리고 공기온도 $40^{\circ}C$로 운전되는 공기건조장치에 함수율 80 wt%이상의 탈수 케이크를 공급하여 건조하였다. 공기 건조장치는 Air Ejector에 의한 고속유동장과 사이클론에 의한 선회 유동장으로 구성되어 있는데, 투입된 탈수 케이크는 선회 유동장에서 1차 파쇄되고 선회 유동장에서 입자간의 충돌효과에 의해 성형되어 최종 구형의 건조분말을 생산한다. 함수율 82.5 wt%인 하수슬러지를 1.0 kg/min의 양으로 탈수 케이크를 공급하여 평균 함수율 62.3 wt%, 평균 입경 2.4 mm인 건조분말을 회수하였다. 이때 수분제거율은 0.1 $H_2O{\Delta}kg/min{\cdot}DS$ kg, 공기소모량은 170 $m^3/DS$ kg로 분석되었다. 동일 조건에서 상수 슬러지를 공기건조하였을 때 함수율은 47.5 wt%로 감소하였으며 평균 입경은 2.1 mm 그리고 수분 제거율은 $H_2O{\Delta}kg/min{\cdot}DS$ kg으로 증가하였으며 공기소모량은 180 $m^3/DS\;kg$로 증가하였다. 즉 본 기술은 하수 슬러지에 비하여 상수 슬러지의 탈수 케이크를 건조할 때 효율적이며 열을 가하지 않고 공기만으로 건조하여 수분을 감량시키기 때문에 경제적인 슬러지 처리 방법으로 평가된다.

The aim of this study is to investigate the membrane fouling in a thermophilic membrane bioreactor (TMBR) operated different sludge retention times (SRTs). For this purpose, TMBR was operated at four different SRTs (10, 30, 60 and 100 days). Specific cake resistance (${\alpha}$), cake resistance, gel resistance, total resistance, MFI (modified fouling index) and FDR (flux decrease ratio) were calculated for all SRTs. It was observed that flux in the membrane increases with rising SRT although the sludge concentrations in the TMBR increased. The steady state flux was found to be 31.78; 34.70; 39.60 and 43.70 LMH ($Liter/m^2/h$) for the SRTs of 10, 30, 60 and 100 days respectively. The concentrations of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and soluble microbial product (SMP) decreased with increasing SRT. The membrane fouling rate was higher at shorter SRT and the highest fouling rate appeared at an SRT of 10 d. Both the sludge cake layer and gel layer had contribution to the fouling resistance, but the gel layer resistance value was dominant in all SRTs.

Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants produce large amounts of sludge cakes for final disposal. This problem is an inevitable drawback inherent to the activated sludge process. Both the reduction of the amount of sludge produced and improvement of its dewaterability are presently very important issue also in Korea. So many pre-treatment processes have been developed in order to improve sludge dewatering efficiency. In this study the effects of hydrogen peroxide and paper sludge mixing processes were considered as reasonable alternatives to enhance sludge dewaterability. The CST of sludge was significantly decreased, and dewaterability improved by hydrogen peroxide oxidation treatment. The optimum dosage of hydrogen peroxide was proved to be 10mg/g-TS (when TS of sludge was 2%) with the conditions of pH 4 and only 1~2 minutes of reaction time. The mixing of paper sludge with sewage sludge was turned out to be very effective in reduction of sludge cake; 30% of sludge cake reduction was accomplished. Optimum mixing ratio of paper sludge was about 30%(v/v). This process also could save 25% of polymer to be required. These two alternatives are somewhat realistic, but it was concluded that paper sludge mixing process will be the best choice.

하상여과의 효율적인 적용에 대한 지침을 얻기 위해 이를 모사하는 칼럼실험을 수행하여 적용되는 수두차와 슬러지 케익의 발달에 따른 수질변화를 조사하였다. 하상여과에서 유기오염물을 제거하는데 가장 중요한 요소는 슬러지 케익의 발달임을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 조건에서 슬러지 케익의 발달에 따라 COD제거율은 17%에서 50%로 증가하였고, 이를 BCOD로 환산하면 22%에서 67%로 증가한 것이었다. BCOD가 활발히 제거되는 구간은 슬러지 케익층과 하상 약 40 cm 깊이까지였다. 수두차에 의한 유량이 클수록 칼럼입구에서 COD가 완만하게 제거되었으나 약 40 cm 이상에서는 COD 농도곡선이 유량에 따라 다르지 않고 모두 일정하게 수렴함을 알 수 있었다. 10일 동안의 슬러지 케익 발달 이후에는 70 cm 깊이에서 용존산소가 고갈되어 탈질이 가능하였으며, 케익이 더욱 발달함에 따라 용존산소의 고갈깊이가 $20{\sim}40\;cm$까지 단축되었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 우리나라에 널리 분포되어 있는 3 m 깊이 정도의 하상에서 하상여과를 통해 유기오염물은 충분히 제거되지만 탈질에 의한 질소제거는 제한적임을 알 수 있었다.

슬러지의 안정화, 휘발성 고형물 감소, 바이오가스 생산을 위해 혐기성 소화공정이 슬러지의 처리 방안으로 연구됐다. 본 연구에서는 하 폐수 슬러지(MWS, IWS), 혼합슬러지(Mix), 탈수슬러지(MWSC)를 대상으로 바이오가스 생산 가능성을 살펴보기 위해 Total solids, Volatile solids, 원소분석, BMP 실험을 하였다. Total solids 함량은 11.2~20.6 %의 값을 가지며 Volatile solids의 함량은 TS의 62.1~83.1 %의 값을 가지고 있다. C/N비는 4.96~8.33의 값을 나타났다. BMP test를 한 결과 혼합슬러지의 경우 약 20일, 하 폐수 슬러지의 경우 약 16~17일에 메탄발생이 종료되었다. 탈수케이크는 약 10일까지 메탄이 발생하였으며 가장 빨리 메탄발생이 종료되었다. 누적 메탄발생량의 경우 혼합슬러지가 395.50 mL $CH_4/g$ VS으로 가장 높은 누적 메탄 발생량을 가진다. 누적 이산화탄소 발생량은 탈수케이크를 제외하고 비슷한 값을 보이고 있다.

This study was focused on the manufacturing method of a dewatering aid, which would reduce the water content of the sludge cake by enhancing the dewaterability of sewage sludge. The pretreatment technology for sludge by using radiation and among diverse discarded resources were starfish selected as the material to manufacture the dewatering aid. Starfish went through the process of washing, drying, and pulverizing. The starfish powder made in this process was applied to the digested sludge generated at the sewage treatment plant of D City, and its effects were investigated. The starfish powder that was 300 ${\mu}m$ in particle size was added to the irradiated digested sludge. After the application of the condensation process, the sludge with the starfish powder added was dewatered using the belt press and centrifuge, which were the traditional pressure dewatering devices. As the result, it reduced the water content of the sludge 20% higher than the dewatered cake with no dewatering aid added and irradiation. When the powder was added, it contributed to less use of the coagulant added. The more irradiation dose, the lower water content did the dewatered cake have and the more coagulant was needed for condensation, which seems to be a disadvantage that can be compensated for by the starfish dewatering aid. A small-scaled treatment of the study to a radiation technology and dewatering aid using a discarded resource confirmed the potential of dewaterability. Based on the results saying that the dewatering aid and radiation technology can improve dewatering effects using the traditional dewatering devices, this pretreatment technology will be expected to be applied to sewage treatment plants.

The effects of hydrogen peroxide treatment on the reduction of waterworks sludge were investigated in this study. Sludge treated by peroxidation $H_2O_2$ oxidation) was dewatered using a pressure filter at 3atm. It was observed that $H_2O_2$ treatment at the acidic condition significantly reduce both cake water content and specific resistance to filtration (SRF), indicating the enhancement of dewaterability and filterability. The filterability by hydrogen peroxide treatment at pH 3.5 was better than acidic treatment and became comparable with polymer conditioning. The sludge filterability evaluated by SRF was optimal at a dose 2ml $H_2O_2$/sludge($0.02g\;H_2O_2/gTS$) after adjusting of pH to 3.5. The $H_2O_2$ oxidation at pH 3.5 also produced even more dewatered cake when compared with polymer conditioning. The reduction rate of sludge mass at an optimal condition showed 34% compared with untreated sludge. The effects of peroxidation on sludge properties including zeta potential, bound water and particle size were also evaluated. Peroxidation at the acidic condition reduced both bound water and zeta potential. By $H_2O_2$ combined with sulfuric acid leached iron caused Fenton's reaction, which showed a potential to significantly reduce the amount of solids mass and to produce more compact cake with higher filterability.

Expression-deliquoring tests using three types of paper sludges (tissue, newsprint, and paperboard) as deliquoring agent were carried out in order to investigate the effects of sludge dosage and pressure on the expression-deliquoring of slurry. The addition of deli­quoring agent causes expression-deliquoring of slurry to be faster than would be the case without the deliquoring agent. In case of the tissue sludge, the highest compression rate was achieved when $5\%$ of deliquoring agent was added, while in cases of the news­print and the paperboard sludge, $7\%$. Compression rate was increased as pressure increases. Porosity was decreased as pressure increases. The lowest porosity was observed when $5\%$ of tissue sludge was added. When compared the weight of cake where deliquoring agent was not added and the weight of cake that was fastest expression-deliquoring, there was about $17.5\%$ of the weight reduction

Dumping of waste sludge to ocean will be prohibited in Jananuary, 2012. Thus, various methods of sludge recycling are intensively studied. To present new way of sewage sludge recycling method, feasibility of making porous biological support media was investigated. Porous biological support media was made of sludge cake from sewage treatment plant and loess. They were mixed in varying ratio and burnt in high temperature to ensure sufficient mechanical strength. It was evaluated that about 67% of sewage sludge were ignitible. The ignitible portion play an important role in making pore in biomedia during ignition process. It was evaluated that optimum mixing ratio of loess to sludge cake was 25% in respect of compressive strength. In results of observation using scanning electron microscope (SEM), inner structure of biomedia become simple when the contents of loess are increased.
