본 논문에서는 제주지역에서 발생하는 주요 biomass에 대한 통합관리 및 자원순환체계에 대하여 검토하였다. 제주지역에서 발생하고 있는 주요 biomass는 슬러지가 년간 10,818톤, 음식물쓰레기가 61,284톤, 가축분뇨 1,519,000톤으로 발생하고 있으며, 슬러지의 경우에는 해양배출, 음식물쓰레기는 자원화, 축산분뇨는 발생원에서 처리되어 액비 등의 형태로 재활용되고 있다. Biomass자원의 순환관리 체계를 구축할 수 있는 방안으로는, 일본 오이타현 Hita-city에서 적용하고 있는 biomass town을 조성하고 관리하는 체계를 도입함이 적합한 사례라고 사료되었으며, 자원화체계를 구축하는 모델을 설정하여 경제성을 검토한 결과 시설규모에 차이가 있으나, 4년 이내 흑자로 전환되어 경제성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 제주지역의 Biomass자원의 순환관리 체계 구축에 있어서, 우선적으로 가축분뇨가 고려되어야하는 것으로 판단되어, 본 연구에서는 가축분뇨처리에 대한 문제점과 향후 과제에 대해서 제시하였다.

유기성폐기물의 처리 방식은 친환경적이고 지속가능한 에너지 회수 및 슬러지 발생량의 저감이 가능한 혐기성 소화를 통한 에너지화로 전환되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 PFR 흐름(Plug Flow Reactor)과 수직 다단형 구조로 고농도 고형분과 높은 유기물 부하에 견딜 수 있도록 개발된 ECOPAD(ECOdays' Plug-flow Anaerobic Digster) 혐기성 소화 공법의 음식물 폐기물과 도계폐수에 대한 적용성과 효율을 파악하였다. 적용사례별 ECOPAD의 처리효율을 분석한 결과 P시와 S시의 음식물 폐기물 처리시설의 유기물 제거효율은(VS 기준 P시 84%, S시 88%) 였으며, 이때 발생하는 바이오가스량(P시: $1.1Nm^3/kg$-VSrem, S시 $1.0Nm^3/kg$-VSrem)과 메탄가스의 함유량(P시 70%, S시 71%)은 유사하게 측정되었다. 도계 폐수 슬러지의 경우 VS당 가스발생량은 $1.6Nm^3/kg$-VSrem로 측정되었으며, 메탄 함량은69%로 측정되었다.

The production and location of xylanolytic enzymes in alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. K-1, isolated from the wastewater treatment plant of the pulp and paper industry, was studied. When grown in alkaline xylan medium, the bacteria produced xylanolytic enzymes such as xylanase, $\beta$-xylosidase, arabinofuranosidase, and acetyl esterase. Two types of xylanases (23 and 45 kDa) were found to be extracellular, but another type of xylanase (35 and/or 40 kDa) was detected as pellet-bound that was eluted with 2% triethylamine from the residual xylan of the culture. The xylanases were different in their molecular weight and xylan-binding ability. Arabinofuranosidase and $\beta$-xylosidase were found to be intracellular and extracellular, respectively, and acetyl esterase was found to be extracellular. The extracellular xylanolytic enzymes effectively hydrolyzed insoluble xylan, lignocellulosic materials, and xylans in kraft pulps.

In this study, degradation of carbohydrates and composition of fermentative products were investigated in semi-continuous acid fermenter varying hydraulic retention time (HRT). Rice soup was used as a sole substrate for the acid fermentation. Solubilization efficiency of the substrate was higher than 70% for all HRT, however the gas conversion was ignorable implying that most of organic contents in the influent remained in the form of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and ethanol after acid fermentation. The VFAs were the predominant product and the VFAs conversion increased as the HRT decreased. The VFAs conversion reached the maximum value at 12 hr HRT accounting for 70% of the influent COD. Similar to VFAs, ethanol conversion was increased with the decrease of HRT and the maximum ethanol conversion efficiency was 8% at the HRT of 12 hr. Composition of VFAs was markedly dependent on HRT. As HRT increased, the composition of acetic acid was increased as a product of acetogenesis from butyrate, valerate and ethanol. This study demonstrated that HRT affected acid fermentation of a carbohydrate containing organic wastes producing VFAs and ethanol which could be effectively used to compensate the lack of carbon in wastewater for biological nutrient removal.

저생 미생물 연료전지(BMFC)는 바다나 호수의 뻘 속에서 저생 미생물이 유기물을 분해하면서 발생시키는 전기를 이용하는 친환경적인 에너지 변환장치다. 본 연구에서는 갯벌에 유입되는 생활 폐수가 저생 미생물 연료전지 성능에 어떤 영향을 주는지 파악하고자, 음식물에 들어가는 유기물들을 발효시켜 갯벌과 혼합해서 BMFC 성능을 비교검토 하였다. 박력분과 비타민(B₂, B₆, B₁₂, C, D, E)이 많이 함유된 음식물을 발효시켜 첨가함으로써 BMFC 성능을 49% 향상시켰다. 발효 유기물의 양이 증가할수록 최고 출력밀도가 증가하였고, 25~29일 발효시킨 발효 유기물이 BMFC에 최적임을 보였다.

The city is developing into a smart city. Smart villages and smart farms are developing in rural areas. Architectural technology needs synergy with smart cities, smart villages, and smart factories (intelligent factories) to help architectural experts understand smart farms and build facilities and equipment. Smart farms require design and construction technology with architectural structure and function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status and cases of smart farms in Korea and to investigate cases abroad. The conclusion is as follows. ① Smart farms are developing rapidly. The Korean government is expanding smart farms by utilizing ICT technology and infrastructure. ② 'Smart Farm Innovation Valley', which has been promoted since 2018, is a cutting-edge convergence cluster industrial complex that integrates production, education, and research functions such as start-ups and technological innovation. ③ In domestic cases, smart farms are operated in subway stations, buildings, supermarkets, and restaurants. ④ In the Japanese case, a dome-type smart farm was being operated. It utilized factory wastewater, waste heat, renewable energy, and used new materials. Otemachi Ranch raised livestock and provided a lounge on the 13th floor of the building. ⑤ In the cases of Korea and Japan, the smart farm technology is very similar. As stated earlier, since the food culture and agricultural technology of both countries are similar, we hope to promote the development of smart farms that can reduce concerns about future food by communicating and sharing mutual technologies.

Marine biomass is considered an important substrate for anaerobic digestion to recovery energy i.e. methane. Nevertheless, marine biomass has attracted little attention by researchers compared to terrestrial feedstock for anaerobic digestion. In this study, biochemical methane potential (BMP) test was used to evaluate generation of renewable energy from starfish. A cumulative biogas yield of $748{\pm}67mL\;g^{-1}VS^{-1}$ was obtained after 60 days of digestion. The cumulative methane yield of $486{\pm}28mL\;CH_4\;g^{-1}VS^{-1}$ was obtained after 60 days of digestion. The methane content of the biogas was approximately 70%. The calculated data applying the modified Gompertz equation for the cumulative $CH_4$ production showed good correlation with the experimental result obtained from this batch study. Since the result obtained from this study is comparable to results with other substrates, marine biomass can be co-digested with food waste or swine wastewater to produce $CH_4$ gas that will help to reduce the gap in global energy demand.

Bacillus sp. A56 was studied, because of its high flocculating activity. The flocculating substance produced by this strain was purified by ethanol precipitation, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) precipitation, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The FT-IR spectrum of the purified bioflocculant, designated as BF-56, showed typical characteristics of polysaccharides. The non-sugar substituents, and sugar components of BF-56 containing glucose, fucose, glucuronic acid, and galactose in an approximate molar ratio of 2.76:1.10:1:0.12, suggested that it was a novel bioflocculant with an estimated molecular mass of over $7{\times}10^3$ kDa. Rheological analysis of BF-56 revealed that it was a pseudoplastic that had higher apparent viscosity rate at dilute concentrations than those of zooglan. The solution of bioflocculant BF-56 exhibited non-Newtonian characteristics and it was compatible to high concentrations of salts such as KCl, NaCl, $CaCl_2,\;or\;FeCl_3.$ The present results suggested strong possibility of bioflocculant BF-56 to be fully applicable to industries such as wastewater treatment.

The valorization of domestic wastes becomes a very important research axis that can reduce the energy consumption and protect our environment. The objective of this study is to remove zinc ions from wastewater by using banana peels after their activation as sensor in the working electrode for an environmental application. Banana peels were dried, crushed and treated with sulfuric acid then mixed with polyaniline to improve their electrical conductivity. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used for electrochemistry tests. The obtained voltammogramms at well optimized conditions of applied potential of -1.3 V/SCE and initial zinc concentration of 0.2M during 2 hours of electrolysis, showed the reduction peak of the zinc at a potential of -1.14 V/SCE, which confirmed the activity of this electrode. The modeling of experimental data revealed that the adsorption was fitted by the Langmuir isotherm with a maximal adsorption capacity of 3.4188 mg/g. Changes in the structure of the powder after the electrosorption was noticed by SEM and EDX. Finally, the dosage of the electrolytic solution showed a diminution of the zinc concentration with yield of 99.99%.
