The biodegradability test of bulking agents in feces composting process is conducted to increase the management efficiency for environment-friendly rural toilet developed by National Rural Resource Institute in 2001. In the case study through references and field study, ash, fallen leaves, and wood chips are commonly used in the ecological toilet. Extension officers and farmers prefer rice straw, fallen leaves, and chaff among the rural resources as a bulking agents in the aspect of getting and storage as the result of questionnaire survey. As the result of biodegradability test including the temperature change, $CO_2$ gas production, and C/N ratio change of composting pile under the condition of aerobic composting apparatus, rice straw and chaff are good bulking agents for environment-friendly rural toilet. It is recommended that easy getting materials among the above mentioned materials are used for bulking agents as the region and season in environment-friendly rural toilet.

According to the volumetric mixing rate of dairy cow manure (DCM) and moisture control materials such as decomposed manure (DM) and sawdust (S), 6 reactors (DCM only (R1), DCM : DM = 1:1 (R2), DCM : DM = 1.5:0.5 (R3), DCM : DM = 0.5:1.5 (R4), DCM : DM:S = 1:0.5:0.5 (R5) and DCM : S = 1:1 (R6)) were used for composting of dairy cow manure. Among the composting reactors, composting reactor of R5 was shown the highest temperature of the compost as a $66^{\circ}C$ during composting period. After 3 weeks composting, moisture content of R5 and R6 were 51% and 51.3%, respectively. These values were satisfied with the moisture content standard of livestock manure compost of Korea. We concluded that decomposed manure may be a good moisture control material for dairy cow manure composting when it is used in mixture with sawdust. The optimum volumetric mixing ratio of dairy cow manure and moisture control materials was 50% of livestock manure, 25% of decomposed manure and 25% of sawdust.

Objective: Previous studies isolated the thermophilic ammonium-tolerant (TAT) bacterium Bacillus sp. TAT105 that grew in composting swine manure with the assimilation of ammonium nitrogen and reduced ammonia emissions during composting. Those studies also investigated the potential for applications of TAT105 to composting. It was observed that the concentration of TAT bacteria, phylogenetically close to TAT105, increased during composting. The objectives of this study were to identify the phylogenetic placement of these TAT bacteria and investigate their distribution in various composts. Methods: The phylogenetic placement of TAT105 was examined based on the sequence of 16S ribosomal RNA gene. The genomic DNA homology between TAT105 and the type strains of bacterial species that were phylogenetically close to TAT105 were examined by DNA-DNA hybridization. Moreover, the tolerances of these strains to NH₄Cl and NaCl were analyzed using a cultivation method. Concentrations of TAT bacteria in various composts were evaluated using an agar medium specific to TAT bacteria and polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Results: TAT105 was most closely related to Bacillus thermolactis and Bacillus kokeshiiformis. Many variants of these species have been detected in various environments, including composts. The type strains of these species displayed TAT characteristics that were similar to those of TAT105. Among the composts examined in this study, TAT bacteria were detected at high concentrations (10⁵ to 10⁹ colony forming units per gram of dry matter) in most of the composts made from cattle manure, swine manure, bark, and excess sludge. Conclusion: TAT bacteria comprised B. thermolactis, B. kokeshiiformis, and their phylogenetically close relatives. They were considered to be adaptable to composting of some certain materials, and a favorable target for searching for strains with some useful function that could be applied to composting of these materials.

This study was performed to examine the effects of rice straw 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-2 and RS-4 were 4:0, 4:1. 4:2. 4:3 and 4:4, respectively. Reactors were operated for 24days with 1 hour stirring by lrpm and 2hours aeration per day. The values of pH of food wastes and rice straw were 4.39 and 7.4, 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. C/N ratio in control was larger than that in rice straw containing reactors. Salinity and conductivity in reactors were condensed and increased by reaction days.

The composting practice has been recognized as the most popular way of controlling food waste and many attempt have been made in the field to establish more efficient and economical process. Some of the efforts are mixing cured compost with sawdust as alternative bulking agent, seeding commercially produced microorganism and/or combination of above. However, verification of such efforts is often restricted because of either the lack of engineering consideration on the limitation of composting facility scales. In this study, the effect of mixing materials in food waste composting was investigated by controlling the combination and the mixing ratio of them. When the cured compost was mixed with saw dust. the decomposition of organic material was proven to be more active by observing the compost temperature, the oxygen (O$_2$) consumption, and the cumulative carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) profile. However, the quantity of compost mix-ing seemed not to influence the reaction as long as the minimum required amount was mixed. The feeding of com-mercially produced microorganism had a tendency to prolong the thermophilic stage, which helped to increase the decomposition but it resulted in composting period. Regardless of the composting condition, bacteria and actinomycetes increased in population as the reaction approached to the end. The population of bacteria and actinomycetes were rel-atively higher than those of fungi and yeast throughout the reaction.

우분뇨와 왕겨혼합물(2:1, v/v)의 효과적인 부속방법과 퇴비화를 위해 야적식과 간헐통기 퇴석방식으로 비닐하우스 조건에서 10주일간 부숙시키면서 퇴비화 과정 중의 온도변화와 희비재료의 이화학적 환경변화 등을 조사하였다. 퇴비재료의 pH변화는 부숙초기인 1-2주경에는 8.9수준으로 상승하였다가 그 이후 중성부근으로 떨어졌으며, 4주이후부터 정치식보다 간헐통기 퇴적방식에서 빠른 안정화를 보였다. 간헐통기 최적과 정치식에서 퇴비재료의 주발효(고온발효)는 부숙개시 후 3주일과 6주일내에 끝났으며 주발효 온도에 도달도 간헐통기 퇴적방식에서 빨랐다. T-C와 잔존유기물 양의 감소는 비슷한 경향을 보였으며 T-C의 경우 간헐통기 퇴적방식이 정치방식에 비해 감소가 빨랐고, 잔존유기물의 양도 부숙의 진전에 따라 간헐통기방식에서 잔존량이 더 적고 부숙개시 후 6주부터는 정치방식과 9%정도의 차이를 나타냈다. T-N은 두 방식간에 차이가 뚜렷하여 정치식은 부숙에 따라서 점점 증가되다가 6주이후에는 2.3%수준을 유지하였고, 간헐통기방식은 분해초기에 급격한 감소를 보이나 7주 이후에는 1.8%수준을 유지되었다. C/N비의 경우는 두 방식간에 차이를 보이면서 완만히 감소되는데 6주일 후에는 안정화되어 정치식과 간헐통기 퇴적방식에서 각각 17과 21수준을 보였다. 조회분과 일반 무기성분의 함량변화는 전반적으로 부숙과 함께 증가되는 경향이며 간헐통기 퇴적방식에서 이들의 함량이 높아졌다. 본 실험에서 얻어진 결과는 비닐하우스에서 우분뇨 퇴비재료를 강제간헐통기 퇴적방식으로 퇴비화함으로서 부숙(퇴비화)기간을 단축시킬 수 있었다.

수산가공폐수 슬러지의 농경지 이용을 목적으로 수산가공폐수 슬러지에 zeolite 및 가축분 첨가율에 따른 퇴비화 과정중 온도변화, 중량감소율, $CO_2$ 및 $NH_3$발생량 및 무기성분함량 변화 등을 조사하였다. 퇴비화과정중 온도, 총중량 감소율 및 $CO_2$발생량은 zeolite 첨가율에 따라서는 별 차이가 없었으나 가축분은 첨가율이 낮을수록 온도와 총 중량감소율이 높았으며 $CO_2$발생량은 별 차이가 없었다. 퇴비화과정중 $NH_3$ 발생량은 zeolite 첨가율 5, 10 및 20%에서 퇴비화 전기간 동안 68, 61 및 $46mg/kgvs{\cdot}hr$로서 zeolite 첨가율이 높을수록 적게 발생되었고, 가축분도 첨가율 50, 65 및 80%에서 퇴비화전기간 동안 65, 58 및 $45mg/kgvs{\cdot}hr$으로서 가축분 첨가율이 높을수록 적게 발생되었다. 따라서 수산가공폐수슬러지의 퇴비화에 zeoilte 및 가축분을 첨가함으로써 악취를 어느 정도 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. T-C 및 T-N함량은 퇴비화 전에 비하여 퇴비화 후에 약간 감소하였으며, C/N율은 퇴비화 후에 약간 증가하였다. 퇴비화 전후 무기성분변화는 모든 조건에서 퇴비화 전에 비하여 퇴비화 후에 $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$, CaO 및 Na함량은 약간 증가하였으며, MgO함량은 큰 변화가 없었고, Mn함량은 큰 폭으로 감소하였다.

음식쓰레기, 슬러지 등과 같이 C/N비가 낮은 폐기물을 호기성으로 퇴비화하는 경우 질소 성분이 많이 손실될 수 있으며, 이는 비료성분의 손실, 악취를 비롯한 환경오염 발생 등을 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 퇴비화 공정에서 질소성 물질의 보존방법을 도출하기 위한 기초 연구로 음식쓰레기를 실험실 규모로 퇴비화하면서 일반적인 호기성 퇴비화 공정에서 일어나는 질소의 거동을 분석하였다. 음식쓰레기는 종이나 나무조각과 혼합하여 퇴비화하였으며, 질소성 물질의 거동을 평가하기 위해 퇴비시료에 포함된 암모니아, 산화성 질소, 유기성 질소를 측정하였다. 배가스로 손실되는 질소도 황산으로 흡수시켜 정량하였다. 퇴비화 반응의 활성화 여부가 유기성 질소의 무기화에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 활성이 좋은 퇴비를 식종한 경우 반응 초기부터 유기성 질소의 무기화가 활발히 진행되어 많은 양의 질소가 손실된 반면 초기의 낮은 pH 기간이 길어지면 유기성 질소의 분해가 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 암모니아 손실량은 주입된 공기량의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단되며, 암모니아 손실이 증가하면 퇴비의 암모니아 함량이 크게 감소하였다. 질소에 대한 물질수지 분석을 통하여 초기 질소의 28~38%가 암모니아로 전환되었으며, 전환된 암모니아의 77~94%가 가스로 손실된 것으로 나타났다.

Food waste (FW) has been recognized as a critical problem in Korea and many research was conducted to efficiently utilize or treat FW. Main purpose of this research was to evaluate a feasibility for producing fermented organic fertilizer with vegetable waste (VW). Three different organic materials (saw dust, coco peat, and waste mushroom media) were mixed with VW at the rate of 30, 40, 50% respectively. Total days of composting experiment were 35 days and each sub samples were collected at every 5 days from starting of composting. Result showed that inner temperature of composting was increased to $60{\pm}4^{\circ}C$ within 5~10 days depending on varied organic materials and mixing ratio. Among different treatment, the highest increase of inner temperature was observed when 30% of saw dust was mixed with VW. After finishing composting experiment, maturity of each compost was evaluated with solvita and germination test. Maturity index (MI) of each treatment was ranged between 5~7 indicating that manufactured fertilizer was curing or finished stage. Calculated germination index (GI) was at the range of 57.83~101.16 depending on organic materials and mixing ratio. Both MI and GI showed that manufactured fertilizer was met for fertilizer criteria while control (VW only) was not adequate for composting. Overall, VW can be utilized for making organic fertilizer mixing with saw dust, coco peat and more research should be conducted to make high quality of organic fertilizer with vegetable waste.
