A study on the effect of the biodegradability of the composting bulking agent in the swine manurecomposting was carried out in a batch system. The purpose of this study is to prove the effect of the biodegradability of the composting-bulking agent on the efficiency of the composting. In this study, it is the lignins: Klason-Lignin in the volatile solid that the index of the biodegradability of the composting-material mixes which are pig manure-rice straw pig manure-sawdusts pig manuremixture of rice and ricestraw (2:1) pig manure-mixture of rice and sawdust (1:1). It was carried out in the same condition (moisture contents, air supply rate, C/N ratio, initial input weight, porosity-structure) except the biodegradability of the raw material mixes. One of the results from this study is that the biodegradability of the bulking agent in the sense of the VS lignin content is not an insignificant factor in composting reaction. The less contents of the lignin in VS, the more efficiencies of the cornposting reaction in use of these parameters for the degree of the reaction: temperature, the trends of the ash contents, the change pattern of the C/N ratio. Under some assumptions, it is able to induce rough model on the relation of the VS lignin contents with the efficiency of the degradability. In this model, the biodegradability of the bulking agent is not an insignificant factor however, it is flexible within some degrees of range.

우리나라에서 발생되는 음식쓰레기는 퇴비화 처리시 높은 수분함량과 낮은 C/N비를 적정 수준으로 조절하기 위해 bulking agent를 첨가함이 필수적이며 그의 정확한 첨가량을 계산하는 것은 퇴비화에 소요되는 비용을 결정하는데 중요한 요소로 적용하게 된다(Hay et al., 1998). 그러나 bulking agent의 첨가량을 계산하기 위한 기준지표 중의 하나인 C/N비의 경우 혼합되는 bulking agent의 분해정도가 고려되지 않은 총 탄소와 질소의 비에 기준하여 적정 첨가비율이 정해지고 있기 때문에 실제 요구되는 탄소와 질소의 양을 초과 또는 미달하는 경우가 발생될 수 있으며, 이는 곧 bulking agent의 과다첨가 또는 반응속도 저하로 인한 처리비용의 상승과 직결될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 음식쓰레기의 퇴비화를 위한 bulking agent의 정확한 첨가량을 정량적으로 제시하기 위하여 bulking agent의 첨가로 인한 반응향상 여부와 그 원인을 분석하여 이를 바탕으로 적정 첨가량 결정법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 실질적으로 분해가능한 탄소원을 포함하고 있는 쌀밥의 첨가는 C/N비가 낮은 음식쓰레기의 퇴비화반응을 향상시킬 수 있으나, 분해가 쉽지 않은 톱밥을 bulking agent로 첨가할 경우는 음식쓰레기의 탄소원을 제공함으로써 반응을 향상시킨다기 보다는 음식쓰레기의 통기성을 개선하여 줌으로써 활발한 퇴비화 반응을 유도한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, bulking agent는 그 첨가량을 많이 할수록 퇴비화반응에 유리하며, 일반적인 적정 C/N비값 이상의 첨가율에서도 반응 향상이 가능한 것으로 예상된다. 또한 bulking agent 첨가량의 증가로 인한 통기성의 향상효과는 해당 조건하에서의 적정 수분함량값 증가요소로 작용하는 것으로 나타나 이를 종합적으로 고려한 bulking agent첨가량 결정이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 실험적 분석의 결과를 종합할 때, 음식쓰레기 100g당 78g의 톱밥을 첨가하여 C/N비를 25 수분함량을 56%로 각각 조절하는 것이 본 연구에서 다루어진 음식쓰레기의 활발한 퇴비화를 위해서는 적절하며, 이러한 첨가량의 계산법은 실제 퇴비화시설의 적정 운전을 위해서 적용함이 바람직한 것으로 판단되었다.

The coal fly ash (CFA) may be utilized as an extender for organic waste composting at the same time fully expected to solve all industrial waste disposal and sawdust tribe. The main objective in this study was to evaluate the effect of CFA addition as a bulking agent for swine manure composting. To determine the suitable addition rate of CFA as a bulking agent, 0, 10, 20 and 30% of saw dust were mixed with 30, 20, 10 and 0% of coal fly ash, respectively. Compost quality for swine manure composting was to evaluate temperature, pH, C/N ratio, and phytotoxicity as germination index. Stability of compost increased with increasing levels of CFA as bulking agent during swine manure composting due to the high alkaline materials including CFA. C to N ratio in treatment added CFA was higher than that of the control without CFA. After finishing composting, germination index of lettuce and cabbage in swine manure compost added 10% of CFA was similar to the control, all the heavy metal contents were far below the stipulated standard for organic farming. These results indicated tahr coal fly ash as bulking agents might be alternative materials to save saw dust and apply industrial products for swine manure composting.

국내에서 퇴비화 첨가제로 주로 사용되는 재료로는 톱밥과 목편(woodchip)으로서, 이들 첨가제는 주로 적정 수분함량 및 C/N비의 조절에 주안점을 주고 사용되고 있다. 하지만 톱밥과 목편(woodchip)은 서로 상이한 물리적 특성을 나타내고 있으며, 첨가제의 공기투과성에 대한 연구는 활발히 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 퇴비화 첨가제로 주로 사용되고 있는 톱밥과 목편(woodchip)의 혼합비율에 따라 용적 밀도, 수분함량, 공기공극, 입자크기, 공기유속 등이 공기투과성에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 모든 첨가제에서 수분함량이 증가함에 따라 공기공극율은 감소하고 입자크기는 증가하였으며, 특히 목편의 혼합비율이 높아짐에 따라 이러한 효과는 더욱 증대되는 경향을 나타내었다. 공기공극율과 수분함량은 선형의 관계로서 공기투과성에 미치는 영향은 매우 유사하게 나타났다. 건조수분함량 0.25~0.43(d.b.)(습윤수분함량으로는 20~30%) 이후의 구간에서는 공기공극율이 낮아짐에도 불구하고 압력손실이 감소함으로써 공기투과성이 개선되는 현상을 보이고 있다. 특히 입자크기가 5 mm로 커질 때까지 압력손실은 지수적으로 감소하여 공기투과성이 현저히 개선되고 있다. 이는 수분함량 증가에 따라 미세입자가 입단화됨으로써 대공극이 증가하고 이에 따라 공기이동성이 원활해 졌기 때문으로 여겨진다. 따라서 첨가제의 입자크기가 공기공극율이나 수분함량에 비하여 공기투과성에 미치는 영향이 매우 높았으며, 퇴비화시에는 초기 입자크기를 5 mm 이상으로 조절하는 것이 적합하다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of bulking agents including cow manure, saw dust and rice straw in the ripening of leather sludge for vermistabilization. The changes of the waste properties for ripening time for 50 days were observed according to the various mixture ratios of leather sludge and bulking agents. The pH values of the mixture wastes were decreased from 7.5-8.0 to 6.4-7.3 with the ripening time for 50 days, and it was indifferent of the mixture ratio and type of the bulking agent. The initial value of oxidation-reduction potential(Eh) of the mixture waste was a negative(-)value indicating an unfavorable condition for earthworm life, but the values of Eh were increased with the ripening time. The increase rate of Eh value was proportional to the mixture ratio of bulking agents, but the increase rate for saw dust was higher than that of the cow manure and the rice straw. The value of alkalinity was also changed into the favorable range for earthworm after 50 days except for 10% of the mixture ratio of the bulking agents. When the mixture ratios of the bulking agents were increased from 10% to 40%, the growth characteristics of earthworms were increased from 31.7% to 95% for the survival rate, 103% to 225% for the liveweight increase rate and 32% to 91% for hatching rate of the cocoons. It can be concluded that the proper content of the bulking agents in the leather sludge to ensure effective vermistabilization was over 30%, when the mixture was ripened during 50 days. The contents of heavy metals in the ripened sludge were lower than the other regulatory standards for compost.

This study was carried out to evaluate effect of sludge characteristics (pH, SVI, anaerobic storage, wet density and growth phase) on the sedimentation of bulking sludge of paper manufacturing plant. The results showed that mix hulking sludge with sewage sludge (10-60%) caused the decrease of SVI, the settled sludge concentration was increased. Increase of anaerobic storage time (0 to 8 day) was increased SVI, sedimentation performance was deteriorated. The sedimentation was improved by addition of loess (0.2-5.0 g/L), because wet density of sludge was increased and SVI was decreased. At an exponential phase, the ratio of sedimented/growthed sludge concentration was decreased, the ratio was increased after stationary phase.

Sawdust is commonly used as a bulking agent for livestock manure composting. Nowadays, demand of sawdust for composting is increasing, so its price is very high and not easy to obtain. In this study in order to examine the effect of autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC, one of the industrial wastes) on composting of swine manure, ALC (each size of 2, 4, an 8mm) was used as a bulking agent. Swine manure was mixed with each of sawdust and 8mm of ALC in a 1:1 ratio by volume and 2, 4mm of ALC was mixed in a 2:1 ratio by volume. The total period lasted 50 days and was divided into two periods. After mixing bulking agent with swine manure, they were left undisturbed to compost with aeration for an initial period of 20 days. At the end of this period, they were decomposed and mixed to effect a homogenization and then a second period of composting (without aeration) was conducted for 30 days. Temperature during the initial period of swine manure composting were above 70$^{\circ}C$ in all piles and maintained above 55$^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. Temperatures during the second period were relatively lower than the initial period. pH of the compost was increased during the initial period and after 50 days it reached 9.08 in sawdust pile and 9.03 in ALC pile ( 2mm). In nitrogen content of final compost, sawdust pile was higher than ALC piles by 21∼29%.

Chlorination inhibition on the organic removal activity of activated sludge microorganism was investigated in this study. It is well known that chlorination improves the settleability of filamentous bulking sludge through the selective impediment of filamentous microorganisms. However, it is based on the declination of effluent water quality after actual chlorination in dairy wastewater treatment plant. In case of the activated sludge which was exposed in the suggested concentration of chlorine $7.5\;mgCl_2/gVSS/day$ for the filamentous bulking control, decrease of organic uptake rate of $4.9\~24.0\%$, and dentrification rate of $24.8\~30.3\%$ ware shown in comparison to the control group which was not reacted with chlorine. As a result of comparing floc size of activated sludge microorganism, the average of floc diameter in the chlorine exposed group was $150\;{\mu}m$, which displays $25\%$ decrease compared with the control group.

This study was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of composting of swine manure with wood chips as a bulking agent. To evaluate the optimum blending ratio of wood chip to swine manure three levels of wood chip such as 100, 150, and 200% were blended on a volume basis with 100% of swine manure was used to determine the effect of wood chip compared with sawdust as a bulking agent on composting. The maximum temperature reached during composting was 70, 58, 48, 72$^{\circ}C$ at blending ratio of 100, 150, 200, and 50WC+50SD%, respectively. The bulk density of compost was increased extremely with increasing the blending level of wood chip. The C/N ratio of final compost ranged from 18.25 to 19.82 . Heavy metal contents in the final compost were in the range of 0.05∼0.16 mg/kg, 5,86∼10.95 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, and 295∼440 mg/kg for Cd, Hg, and Cu, respectively. It was concluded that the blending ratio of 200:100 of wood chip and manure by volume was satisfactory for swine manure composting.
