Dewatered sludge of 400,000t/y from water treatment plants in Korea is being disposed through landfill and ocean dumping. However, the disposal is posing more and more serious environmental problems at the same time not only because of landfill site shortage in municipal suburbs, but because of the concern it will contaminate the oceans. In this study, the research on utilizing the sludge dried by flash dryer as covering soil in the landfill sites was carried out to solve these problems on environmental affinity. Both dewatered and dried sludge were exposed to the natural condition and observed according to the atmospheric changes. An experiment of soil engineering characteristics of the dried sludge and tests on mixed sludge(silty sandy soil : dried sludge = 10:90 ~ 30:70) such as particle size distribution, liquid and plastic limit, moisture content, specific gravity and compaction test were carried out. According to the compaction test, the compaction was confirmed as the optimum water content ratio was observed in the condition of SM-silty sand of particle size distribution, NP of liquid and plastic limit, 101.4% of moisture content, 2.04~2.12 of specific gravity. The results showed that dried sludges mixed with at least 30% of natural soil could be used as daily covering soil in the landfill sites.

Stone powder sludge is a byproduct of the crushed aggregate industry, and most of it is dumped with soil in landfills. The disposal of stone powder sludge presents a major environmental problem. This paper investigates the effects of stone powder sludge on the fluidity, density, strength and micro-structure properties of AAC(autoclaved aerated concrete) samples. Stone powder sludge was obtained from a crushed aggregate factory in order to investigate its applicability as a substitute for quartz sand in AAC. To determine the properties of the AAC samples produced with stone powder sludge, specimens containing different foam ratios were produced. Flow value, density, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of the samples were tested, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed. The test results indicated that the compressive strength of AAC specimens (F120) with stone powder sludge was higher than that of AAC specimens (Q120) with quartz sand for same foam ratio of 120%. For all XRD diagrams, a higher number of tobermorite peaks was shown for the F120 sample than for the Q120 sample, which may explain the slightly higher strength gain in the F120 sample.

Recently, one of the most interesting topic in the field of wastewater treatment is the disposal of excess sludge. The new concept of excess sludge reduction with recirculation of solubilized sludge via effective microorganisms for cell disruption within the wastewater treatment process has been developed in this study. The alkalophiles for degradation of sludge cell wall were isolated as Exiguobacterium sp., which could be more effectively solubilized sludge in the anaerobic condition. The SCOD of solubilized excess sludge by Exiguobacterium sp. was up to about 2,000mg/L and average TN and TP concentration of solubilized component were 117mg/L and 58mg/L, respectively and C/N ratio was more than 17. To investigate the effects of solubilized sludge by alkalophiles on excess sludge reduction and nutrient removal efficiency, the pilot plant of $DF^{(S)}-MBR$ process, combined with membrane bioreactor and sludge solubilization tank, was operated. In the control run(without sludge solubilization), the daily sludge production was about 4.54 kgMLVSS/day. However, in the $DF^{(S)}-MBR$(with sludge solubilization), the daily sludge production was decreased to 1.39kgMLVSS/day. The effluent quality satisfied the effluent regulation in both cases. Furthermore, the $DF^{(S)}-MBR$ showed relatively better TN removal efficiency in spite of high influent loading. So we concluded that the solubilized excess sludge by alkalophiles was effectively degraded in the MBR process as the carbon source and 70% of sludge reduction efficiency can be achieved.

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.

지속적인 하수처리장 증설에 따른 하수 슬러지 발생량이 증가하고 있으나, 런던협약 발효에 의해 2012년부터 해양투기가 금지되어서 효과적인 슬러지 감량화 및 처분에 대한 기술 수요가 꾸준히 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 슬러지 처분법의 대안으로 전기분해를 활용한 슬러지 가용화 연구를 수행하였다. 전극은 티타늄 (Titanium)에 이리듐 (Iridium)을 코팅한 불용성 전극을 사용하여 직류전원 공급장치 (DC power supply)를 이용하였다. 전압은 20V로 고정하여 폐슬러지 가용화 실험을 수행하였다. 전기분해에 의해 처리된 슬러지의 여액을 분석한 결과 Soluble COD, TN, TP가 각각 151%, 22%, 6% 가량 증가하였다. 또한, 슬러지의 플록 크기가 전기분해 후에 0.1 ~ 1.0 ${\mu}m$ 영역에 있는 입자들이 다량 증가하였다. 이상의 결과는 전기분해에 의하여 미생물 세포가 파괴되어 세포 내 유기물질이 세포 밖으로 용출됨으로써 미생물이 이용 가능한 상태로 전환되었음을 의미한다. 이는 고도처리 공정에서 슬러지발생 저감과 함께 전기분해에 의해 가용화된 슬러지를 반송시킴으로써 외부 탄소원으로 활용할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Stone powder sludge is a by-product of the manufacturing process of crushed sand. Most of it is dumped with soil in landfills, and the disposal of stone powder sludge causes a major environmental problem. This paper investigates the applicability of stone powder sludge in fly ashbased geopolymer. For this, stone powder sludge was used to replace fly ash at a replacement ratio of 50% and 100% by weight. The compressive strength of the samples was measured and scanning electron microscopy/ energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed. The test results indicated that the optimum level of the alkali activator ratio ($Na_2SiO_3$/NaOH) for fly ash-based geopolymer using stone powder sludge was 1.5. The strength development is closely related to the NaOH solution concentration. In addition, the compressive strength of the sample cured at $25^{\circ}C$ was significantly improved between 7 days and 28 days, even though the strength of the sample showed the lowest value at 7 days. Microscopy results indicated that a higher proportion of unreacted fly ash spheres remained in the sample with 5M NaOH, and some pores on the surface of the sample were observed.

We investigated the effect of ultrasound on the dewaterability of sewage sludge. Because, dewatering and disposal of waste sludge is a major economical factor in the operation of wastewater treatment plants. Capillary Suction Time(CST) and Specific Resistance to Filtration (SRF) were used to evaluate the sludge dewatering behaviors. From the results of the experiment, it was found that ultrasonic treatment can improve the dewaterability. We discovered that CST and SRF were highly related, according to the correlation coefficient($R^{2}$).

The aim of this paper was to study the effect of five different waste combinations (C/N 15, C/N 20, C/N 25, C/N 30, and control) of sewage sludge coupled with sawdust and cattle manure in a pilot scale rotary drum reactor, during 20 days of the composting process. Our results showed that C/N 30 possesses a higher temperature regime with higher % reduction in moisture content, total organic carbon, soluble biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand; and higher % gain in total nitrogen and phosphorus at the end of the composting period implying the total amount of biodegradable organic material is stabilized. In addition, $CO_2$ evolution and oxygen uptake rate decreased during the process, reflecting the stable behavior of the final compost. A Solvita maturity index of 8 indicated that the compost was stable and ready for usage as a soil conditioner. The results indicated that composting can be an alternate technology for the management of sewage sludge disposal.
