본 연구는 마이크로파 최적 조건에서 하수슬러지 케이크를 마이크로파로 건조하여 재활용하는 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구에 사용된 하수슬러지 케이크는 P시 S, N하수처리장의 탈수슬러지 케이크를 사용하였으며, 마이크로파는 주파수 2450MHz에 1~4kW의 전력을 사용하였다. 마이크로파의 가열이 유전 가열방식이고, 내부수 용출 등으로 초기수분이 77%의 고함수율이라도 짧은 시간 안에 수분이 0.2%까지 감소하여 진다. 이런 결과로 마이크로파 처리한 하수 슬러지 케이크의 복토제로서의 활용은 흙과 혼합하여 매립할 경우 중간, 최종 복토제나 객토용으로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 중금속 흡착제로의 활용은 저 농도 중금속 흡착제로 사용되어지는 황토와의 비교 실험에서 Cu, Pb, Cd,의 농도가 30분 이내에 검출되지 않는 수준으로 나타났으며, Cr은 약 $0.2mg/{\ell}$정도 검출되어 흡착제로서의 가능성을 확인 할 수 있다. 그러므로 경제성이나 친환경적인 면에서 하수슬러지 케이크 건조에 마이크로파 처리를 하는 것이 적당하다고 판단되어지고, 재활용 면에서도 고비용의 황토를 대체하는 물질로 사용이 가능하여 경제적이라고 판단되어 진다.

This study was performed to compare the effects of rice straw and towage sludge cake as bulking materials on temperature, pH, weight and volume reduction, porosity, C/N ratio, salinity, and conductivity in aerobic composting of food wastes. Volume ratios of food wastes to rice straw in reactor control, RS-1, RS-2, RS-3 and RS-4 were 4:0, 4:1, 4:2, 4:3 and 4:4, respectively. Weight ratios of food wastes to sewage sludge rake in reactor control, SL-1, SL-2, SL-3 and SL-4 were 4:0, 4:1, 4:2, 4:3 and 4:4, respectively. Reactors were operated for 24 days with 1 hour stirring by 1 rpm and 2 hours aeration per day. The values of pH of food waters, rice straw and sewage sludge cake were 4.39, 7.40 and 5.79, respectively. The lowering of the volume ratio of food wastes to rice straw resulted in the high reaction temperature and the fast weight and volume reduction rates. The lowering of the weight ratio of food wastes to sewage sludge cake resulted in the slow weight and volume reduction rates. C/N ratio in control was larger than that in rice straw containing reactors, and that in rice straw containing reactors was larger than that in sewage sludge cake containing reactors. Salinity and conductivity in reactors were condensed and increased by reaction days.

Although the specific resistance to filtration is the most frequently employed means for characterizing dewaterability of a sludge, it presently is not possible to design nor to prediet performance of dewatering facilities using traditional linearized parabolic filtration equation, that is, the specific resistance model because of theoretical and practical inadequacies of the concept. Limitations of the specific resistance model reflect the need to examine fundamental sludge properties and filtration behaviors affecting dewaterability. From this study, two major limitations of the specific resistance model were noted. First, specific resistance values are very dependent on the sludge concentration because of the variations of particle size distribution and cake clogging to occur when surface area mean diameter is less than $25{\mu}m$ for activated sludge, $18{\mu}m$ for water treatment plant sludge. Second, nonparabolic filtration behavior can result from cake clogging, caused by the migration of fine particles into the cake pores, accelated by skin effect with highly compressible sludges.

The dewatering characteristics of the sewage sludge was investigated through the experimental observations and model simulations. The activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge were examined for the dewaterability evaluation within the pressure range of $0{\sim}10^6N/m^2$. Modified Buchner funnel test and compression test by the consolidometer were conducted to evaluate average specific resistance, porosity, and moisture percentage of filter cake. Shirato's technique of compression-permeability test was followed for the pressure range lower than about $10^2N/m^2$. The flocculation effects on sludge dewatering was also examined for ferric chloride and polymeric flocculant. The application of hydrated lime which can be used for flue-gas desulfurization showed improved moisture percentage, and was thought to have positive feasibility in combined system of sludge dewatering and incineration. Determined characteristic constants were applied to Tiller's cake filtration model to simulate liquid pressure distribution and porosity distribution in cake. Model simulations showed a sharp drop of the porosity close to the cake-medium interface for the highly compressible material such as the activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge.

A generation rate of sludge in Korea had increased dramatically about $200\%$ for a decade. A requirement for high efficiency dewatering system being possible to produce the low water content cake have suggested due to the appearance of commercial and social problems about handling of dewatered cake. The conventional dewatering system with mechanical compression device was not suitable to produce the low water content cake and didn't cope with lots of requirements. Therefore, this paper was to develop the high efficient filter press with the compressive and heating forces through the heating plate to be built between membrane fillet plates. It is possible to produce the low water content cake and improve the dewatering rate, so this equipment positively coped with several types of problems related to the sludge dewatering. The plate heated by heat transfer materials such as steam, hot water and thermo-oil made the sludge make the residual moisture within the cake to discharge easily and to improve the dewatering efficiency of equipment. The pilot scale experiment with 500kg of cake production showed that the dewatering efficiency determined by the final water content and dewatering velocity was improved $30\%$ more than the conventional dewatering equipment.

The feasibility study on paraffin binder as a solidifying agent of digested sewage sludge cake was peformed. The availability of paraffin binder as a solidifying agent was investigated by several tests. Based on the tests, it is ascertained that paraffin binder with a small amount of quicklime and fly ash enhances the solidification of digested sewage sludge cake. Paraffin binder shortened the drying time of digested sewage sludge cake and solidified sludge with paraffin was not dissolved in water again. Also, the unconfined compressive strength of solidified sludge with paraffin increases.

입자의 크기가 $5{\mu}m$ 이하인 미세입자를 함유한 안료 슬러지를 탈수하여 케이크화될 때 기공의 크기가 매우 작아 물의 배출이 어려운 특성이 있다. 기존의 외부가압력으로 탈수하는 기계식 탈수방법으로 탈수하기는 어렵다. 본 연구는 케이크 층에 저온 열을 인가하여 케이크 충의 기공으로부터 물을 원활하게 배출하여 탈수율을 향상시키고자 하는 연구이다. 케이크 층에 일정한 온도를 공급 할 수 있는 Piston형 열 탈수장치를 구축하여 미세 안료 입자 200g에 대하여 탈수 실험을 수행한 결과 여액량은 176.8g, 케이크 무게는 19.4g, 케이크 두께는 4.2mm로 측정되었으며, 함수율은 47wt%이며 면적당 건조 입자의 잔류량(여과 속도)은 $2.1DS\;m^{2}{\cdot}cycle$로 분석되었다. 이 결과는 기존의 기계식 탈수 방법에 의한 결과에 비하여 여액량은 증가하였으며, 케이크 무게와 두께는 감소하였고 탈수속도는 증가하였다. 그리고 함수율은 약 30%감소하여, 전반적으로 탈수율이 매우 향상되는 결과를 도출하였다. 그 이유는 케이크 층에 열을 인가함으로서 케이크 기공에 작용하는 내부 증발압으로 인해 물이 케이크 충으로부터 원활하게 배출되었기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 미세 입자를 함유한 슬러지의 감량화를 위한 고효율 탈수 시스템 구축에 있어 매우 유용한 기술로 평가된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the leaching characteristics by the landfill of solidified sludge. pH of leachate was 3.7 - 5.8 and 8.0 - 10.4 in each column using sand as a top-soil layer on filled municipal waste and solidified cake. $NH_3$-N in leachate was increasing in the each column using sand as a top-soil layer on filled dewatered sludge and solidified cake, but decreasing in the each column using sand and solidified cake by top-soil layer on filled municipal waste. Also the concentration of $NO_3$-N was on the way of stabilizing but was difficult to find any tendency until now. Zn and Mn in leachates were the highest in the column filled with the solidified sludge, Cr, Pb and Cd were low concentration at each column.

Air drying technology was developed as an equipment for reducing of moisture content from wastewater treatment and waterworks sludge cake and reproducing it by reusable matter. Advantage of cyclone type pneumatic dehydrator is simple and excellent drying performance. The air drying equipment was composed to the air ejector which made high-speed fluid field, and cyclone which made circling fluid field. Dewatered cake was crushed at the high-speed zone as first step, and formed with dried powder of sphere shape by the collision between particles at the circling fluid zone. In this study, a CFD analysis has been performed to predict air-sludge particles flow in cyclone and ejector of pneumatic dehydrator. The computational results showed typical Rankine vortex structure which was frequently found in swirling flow phenomena. And the conical type wedge in lower part of a cyclone prevented accumulation of the sludge particles in the cyclone. Therefore, this technology was effective in drying of dehydrated cake of waterworks sludge.
