중온과 고온의 혐기성 연속회분식 공정(anaerobic sequencing batch reactor ; ASBR)에서 소화슬러지의 고액분리특성이 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 연구결과 침전가능 고형물농도가 높은 도시하수슬러지 처리시 고액분리특성 및 고액분리형태가 전체처리의 안정성 및 처리효율에 상당한 영향을 미쳤다. 중온ASBR에서는 부상농축현상이 일어났으나, 고온ASBR에서는 중력농축에 의한 고액분리가 일어났으며, 상대적으로 고온 ASBR의 처리효율이 우수하였다. 그리고 수리학적 체류시간, cycle period 및 고액분리형태는 소화슬러지의 농축 특성과 임계 고형물농축을 지배하는 중요한 인자였다. 중온ASBR에서 고액분리 후 농축슬러지베드용적(thickened sludge bed volume)은 매우 중요한 운전 요소이며, 소화슬러지의 중력농축특성은 배출시 농축고형물의 유실현상과 침전시 계속적으로 발생하는 소화가스에 의한 슬러지계면의 파괴현상 및 슬러지베드의 불안전성을 야기시켜 처리효율을 감소시켰다. 중력농축의 경우 소화가스와 슬러지농축용적간의 상호작용(cyclic mutual effect)이 주기적으로 일어났으나, 부상농축에서는 이러한 현상이 일어나지 않았다.

All crude oil carries a little of water, sand, and mineral sediment molecules tightly bounded with hydrocarbons. The result is the gradual precipitation of these heavier elements into thick, granular petroleum by products known as crude oil sludge. The oily sludges in ship tanks and in storage facilities have to be treated efficiently in order to keep the security and the capacity of storage facilities, to protect a serious environmental pollution, and to retrieve lost resource. The oily sludge treatment system should be designed to satisfy requirements mentioned in safe work condition. As a basic study, in this paper, an oily sludge treatment system by ultrasonic waves was proposed. Then, the features of ultrasonic energy and recovery of sludge with ultrasonic waves are investigated by experiments. As results, we found that ultrasonic waves are a new energy to flow oil sludge environment-friendly in safe work condition. In addition, it was shown that ultrasonic energy is more efficient than thermal energy in treating oil sludge, and that the volume of wastes for disposal is reduced remarkably.

The performances of electroflotation (EF) on the thickening of activated sludge were investigated using laboratory scale batch flotation reactors. Four activated sludges including bulking sludges were tested. After 30minutes of EF operation, 57-84 % of sludge volume reduction could be achieved by EF, while only about 1.5-14% could be obtained by gravity thickening for the same period. After thickening the effluent water quality in terms of TCOD, SS, and turbidity was improved by EF operation for all sludge samples. It is induced that the air bubbles entrapped in the thickened sludge play a key role in the observed improvement of sludge thickening and effluent quality.

본 연구에서는 zeolite를 활성슬러지 공정에 주입할 경우 zeolite가 biofloc에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 두 반응기를 동일 조건으로 운전하였으며 하나는 표준 활성슬러지 공정 (CU)으로, 다른 하나는 zeolite를 폭기조내 4,000 mg/l로 유지 (ZU)하며 비교하였다. 슬러지 플럭 입경을 측정한 결과, 두 반응기 모두 SRT (Solid Retention Time)가 증가함에 따라 플럭 크기도 비례하여 증가하였으나 ZU가 모든 조건에서 CU보다 작은 평균 입경을 나타내었다. 한편, 두 반응기에 대해 슬러지 침전성을 비교한 결과, ZU는 SRT변화에 관계없이 3.4~11m/h의 침전속도를 나타내며 SVI(Sludge Volume Index)도 50~108 ml/g으로 양호한 침전상태를 보였다. 그러나 CU는 SRT 증가에 따라 슬러지 침전성이 큰 영향을 받았고 SRT 40일에서 Sphaerotilus가 우점종을 나타내었으며 이 결과, 슬러지가 전혀 침전하지 않았다.

Ultrasonic sludge pre-treatment has been studied to enhance the performance of anaerobic digestion by increasing sludge hydrolysis which is regarded as the rate-limiting-step of anaerobic digestion. In this study, the effect of ultrasonic pre-treatment on sludge hydrolysis (solubilization) and methane production was investigated. Sludge solubilization efficiency increased with ultrasonic energy input. However, it is uneconomical to apply more than 720 kJ/L as the solubilization efficiency per energy input declines afterwards. Volatile fatty acids concentration increased after the ultrasonic sludge hydrolysis. Anaerobic batch digestion showed that methane volume reached 64.7 and 84.5 mL after 18 days of incubation with the control sludge and ultrasonically hydrolyzed sludge, respectively. Methane production potential, maximum methane production rate, and the lag time of modified Gompertz equation were changed from 70 mL, 6.4 mL/day, and 1.2 days to 89 mL, 9.6 mL/day, and 0.5 day, respectively, after the ultrasonic sludge treatment. The results proved that ultrasonic pre-treatment contributed significantly not only for the methane production but also for the reduction of anaerobic digestion time which is critical for the performance of anaerobic sludge digestion.

전 국가적으로 많은 정수장에서는 강화된 수질기준을 준수하는데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 일반적으로 정수장 배출수처리시설은 고탁도를 기준으로 설계되기 때문에, 평상시에는 설계된 기간보다 장기간 체류할 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 평균 혹은 저탁도 원수가 유입되는 대부분 기간 동안 슬러지는 농축조에서 장기체류하기 때문에 혐기화되어, 용해성 망간 및 클로로포름이 형성된다. 위 문제를 해결하기 위해서 경제적이고, 손쉽게 도입 가능한 슬러지 폭기 공법을 개발하였으며, 본 연구는 이 공법의 원리 및 효과를 분석한 것이다. 슬러지 폭기 공법의 원리는 산화된 입자성 망간이 용해성 망간으로 환원되는 것을 방지하며, 생성된 클로로포름을 대기중으로 배출 제거시키며, 슬러지 입자를 균질화 시켜 침강성을 개선하는 것이다. 위 공법의 효과분석을 위하여 정수장 농축조에서 슬러지를 폭기시킨 후 상징수의 망간 및 클로로포름을 측정하고, 슬러지의 고-액 계면의 높이를 측정한 결과, 비폭기 경우에 비해 망간은 41%, 클로로포름은 62% 슬러지 부피는 35% 감소되는 효과를 얻었다.

Objectives: Wastewater treatment plants typically produce a large volume of waste sludge. In this study, the conditioning and dewatering properties of a digested and thickened sludge from an industrial wastewater treatment plant were investigated in order to improve the dewaterbility of the sludge. Methods: Jar-tests and Buchner funnel tests were carried out to assess the conditioning and dewatering properties of a waste sludge. TTF (Time to Filter Test) and SRF (Specific Resistance to Filtration) were adopted as the indices of sludge dewaterbility. Results: The valuation indices influencing the dewaterbility of the waste sludge, including TTF, SRF, water contents, VS/TS ratio and turbidity, were measured. The TTF and SRF of the digested and thickened sludge were decreased to 40 sec, $3.43{\times}10^{12}$ m/kg, and 39 sec, $1.09{\times}10^{12}$ m/kg, respectively. Conclusions: The conditioner composed of natural inorganic materials turned out to be effective in the reduction of sludge water contents.

Compared with the sludge from gravity sedimentation, it is difficult for operations to settle the sludge occurred from dissolved-air-flotation (DAF). Even though there are some problems in treating DAF sludge with conventional gravity thickeners, those has been used until now. In this study, Solid Flux theory for gravity thickening was applied to the Solid Flux of DAF sludge through flotation in order to develop new methodology for treatment of DAF sludge. Also, characteristics of DAF sludge were investigated. From the experiment results, it was revealed that the higher the polymer dosage, at fixed the solid concentration, the greater the rising velocity becomes. When we applied solid flux theory, the relationship, which is similar to that of gravity thickening, has been achieved. Also, we could find the proper polymer dosage from the rising velocity is about 50 mg/L. Consequently, the limiting solid flux can be derived from the relationship between the total solid flux and the withdrawal velocity of DAF sludge. Furthermore, the factors, such as solid concentrations, bubble volume, pH, zeta potential, and temperature, have effects on the flotation and sedimentation for DAF sludge treatment.

This study is described the experimental result of the development of artificial aggregate using paper sludge ash and the application of it in concrete. Artificial aggregates are prepared with crushed stone in the variety aspect. Therefore, Quality properties of artificial aggregate using paper sludge ash are fairly corresponded with it of crushed stone. For the application of artificial aggregate using paper sludge ash in concrete, Coarse aggregates are replaced with artificial aggregate using paper sludge ash in the constant of volume(0%, 30%, 70%, 100%). It is conclued from the test results that the artificial aggregate using paper sludge ash could be used replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete. Continuous study should be planned for improvement of it's quality.

Chlorine inhibition on the denitrifing activity of activated sludge treating dairy wastewater was investigated in this study. Filamentous bulking was caused artificially by a sudden load of feed and monitored by measuring sludge volume index. In cases of the activated sludge and bulking sludge which were contacted with chlorine as $7.5\;mgCl_2/gVSS/day$ for bulking control, the decreases of specific denitrification of $32.2{\sim}40.4%\;and\;43.5{\sim}46.5%$ were shown in comparison to the control group which was not reacted with chlorine, respectively. In continuous operation, it was observed that the removal efficiency of total nitrogen was more susceptible to chlorine than the removal efficiency of total phosphorus.
