In this paper, we propose sludge collection strategies which allocate each sewage store of village to sewage treatment plants and decide the schedule of sludge collection in order to collect sludge efficiently. The strategies aim to decrease transportation cost with deciding proposed vehicle routing and scheduling the sludge collection. When we decide route of vehicles, we consider the collection time in sewage store of village, distance between sewage store of villages and vehicle information as average velocity of vehicle, operation time of vehicle driver. We also develop the SCMS (Sludge Collection Management System) based on windows system with real data which is used in certain circumstance. And we experiment to figure out vehicle route and transportation cost throughout changing input data.

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) contents in the sewage sludge derived from the residential and industrial areas were determined in order to characterize contemporary organic contamination levels as a part of the ongoing development of the environmentally sound sewage sludge management strategy in Korea. OPPs were extracted from freeze-dried sludges in a ultrasonic extractor. The extracts were cleaned-up by florisil column and subsequently fed into gas chromatograph/nitrogen phosphorus detector (GC/NPD) for determining OPP contents. Diazinon, dimethoate, disulfoton, EPN, malathion, methyl parathion, parathion, phorate and sulfotep were present in the appreciable amount in the domestic sewage sludges. The sum of the 9 OPPs in the sewage sludge varied from 534.8 to 15552.1 ${\mu}g/kg$, dry wt..

Utilization of sewage sludge for industrial fuel should be considered in appropriate calory with low emission of environmental pollutants and the amount of sewage sludge for continuously long-time operation. For the low grade fuel(<4,000kcal/kg), one of proper processes is that coal and oil are added into sewage sludge to remove impurities and increase calory(>7,000kcal/kg) and the amount of fuel having sewage sludge. Recently, 2-step agglomeration has been attempted by secondarily agglomerate sewage sludge onto the primary nuclei formed by agglomeration of coal and oil. Furthermore, sawdust and waste oil can substitute about 1/3 each for coal and mineral oil consumed in this process, which will lead to securing alternative energy resources from environmental pollutants as well as cost reduction.

Bioassay using the marine bacteria, Vibrio fischeri and rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis, and chemical analyses were conducted to assess the toxicity of the various sewage sludges, one of the major ocean dumped materials in the Yellow Sea of Korea. Sludge elutriates extracted by filtered seawater were used to estimate the ecotoxicity of the sludge. Chemical characterization included the analyses of organic contents, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants in sludge. Bacterial bioluminescent inhibition (15 min), rotifer mortality (24 hr) and rotifer population growth inhibition (48 hr) assay were conducted to estimate the sludge toxicity. EC50 15 min (inhibition concentration of bioluminescence after 15 minutes exposed) values by Microtox(R) bioassay clearly revealed different toxicity levels depending on the sludge sources. Highest toxicity for the bacteria was found with the sludge extract from dyeing waste and followed by industrial waste, livestock waste, and leather processing waste. Clear toxic effects on the bacteria were not found in the sludge extract from filtration bed sludge and rural sewage sludge. Consistent with Microtox(R) results, rotifer neonate mortality and population growth inhibition test also showed highest toxicity in dyeing waste and low in filtration bed and rural sewage sludge. High concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals were measured in the samples from the industrial wastes, leather processing plant waste sludge, and urban sewage sludge. However, there was no significant correlation between pollutant concentration levels and the toxicity values of the sludge. This suggests that the ecotoxicity in addition to the chemical analyses of various sludge samples must be estimated before release of potential harmful waste in the natural environment as part of an ecological risk assessment.

실험실 규모 기포 유동층 반응기를 이용한 하수 슬러지와 석탄 및 우드 펠렛의 혼소 실험 및 회분 분석을 통한 슬래깅 성향을 살펴보았다. 연료는 일반 건조 및 수열탄화를 통해 제작된 하수 슬러지와 아역청탄, 우드 펠렛이 적용되었다. 연소 실험은 당량비 및 산화제 유량, 초기 온도를 고정하고 2종의 하수 슬러지 연료와 석탄 또는 우드 펠렛을 발열량 기준 50 : 50 비율로 혼합한 총 4개의 조건에 대해 반응기 온도 및 배가스 조성을 측정하였다. 배가스 중 $NO_x$는 모든 조건에서 대부분 NO의 형태로 400 ~ 600 ppm 범위에서 측정되었다. $SO_2$는 원료 내 황 함량을 고려하면 하수 슬러지의 투입량이 큰 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 예상되는 가운데 수열탄화 연료가 일반 건조 연료에 비해 다소 낮은 경향을 보였다. 비산 회분 조성 분석 결과 하수 슬러지 연료가 슬래깅/파울링 가능성을 높일 것으로 생각되며, 수열탄화 연료가 일반 건조 연료에 비해 상대적으로 양호한 결과를 보일 것으로 예상되었다.

The disposal of sewage sludge using landfills and ocean dumping is no longer a viable option due to land scarcity and increasingly stringent environmental control regulations. As such, various efforts have been made to develop new sewage sludge recycling technologies. This work investigates the fundamental physical and chemical characteristics of rural type sewage sludge from Chungnam province in South Korea. The average moisture content, ignition loss, elementary analysis, and average heating value of the sewage sludge samples were examined. The average moisture content of the dewatered sludge was about 80%, while the organic matter was about 50% of the total solid sludge weight. The average heating value of a sewage sludge and petroleum coke waste mixture(1:1 weight ratio) was about 5,000 ㎉/kg, thereby indicating a high potential for energy recycling.

This paper presents the numerical analysis of process of sludge drying to know the characteristics of design parameters and develop the new process plant. Finite volume method and $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model were used to analogy the sludge drying furnace. It has been attempted to perform the disposal of sewage sludge such as simple reclaiming and dumping in sea and incineration. Currently, these methods are restricted by national or international government regulations. The drying process is adopted as an effective method for sewage sludge treatment. However sewage sludge makes it difficult to treat with a large volume at the real drying process plant because of its own complicated physical, chemical, and thermal properties. The final design value of moisture content with 10% of the dried sludge can be obtained through the simulated outputs in this study.

하수 슬러지 고형연료 및 우드 펠렛의 연소 특성을 평가 하기 위하여 열중량 분석(TGA), 회 융점(AFT) 분석, 그리고 회분 성분 분석을 수행하였다. TGA 분석 결과, 하수 슬러지 고형연료의 연소성이 우드 펠렛에 비해 상대적으로 좋지 않았다. 또한 AFT 분석을 통해 하수 슬러지 고형연료의 슬래깅 가능성이 매우 높은 것을 확인하였다. 또한 연소성 평가를 위해 pilot-scale 기포 유동층 반응기를 적용하였으며, 장치는 예열기, 유동층 반응기, 연료 공급장치, 사이클론, 회분 포집 장치, 그리고 가스분석기로 구성되었다. 반응기는 직경 400 mm, 높이 4300 mm이며, 하수 슬러지는 $54.5{\sim}96.5kW_{th}$의 열량으로 실험을 수행하였고 우드 펠렛은 $96.1kW_{th}$ 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 하수 슬러지 고형연료 연소의 경우 평균적으로 우드 펠렛의 연소 보다 배기가스 중 $NO_x$는 10.1배, CO는 3.5배 높았다. 또한 사이클론에서 포집한 회분을 분석한 결과, 모든 실험 조건에서 연소 효율은 99% 이상이었고, 회분의 성분 분석을 통해 슬래깅/파울링 가능성이 높은 것을 확인하였다.

The 16 priority PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) designated by US Environmental Protection Agency were analyzed for some digested sludges from wastewater treatment plants in Korea. PAHs are an important group of organic contaminants present in sewage sludge due to their persistence and toxic potential. PAHs were extracted from freeze-dried sludges using a methylene chloride-methanol (2:1) mixture in a soxhlet extractor. The extracts were cleaned-up by silica gel/alumina combination column and subsequently fed into gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) for determining PAH contents. The sum of the 16 PAHs in the sewage sludge varied from 534.8 to $5754.5 {\cal}ug/{\cal}kg$, dry wt.. In the sewage sludge, phenanthrene appears as the most abundant PAHs, followed by naphthalene, pyrene, fluoranthene. Source of the investigated sewage sludges relatively predominated pyrogenic. PAHs levels of sewage sludges in Korea appeared to be lower than those in other countries.

낙동강 유역에 위치한 산업폐수종말처리장에서 채집한 폐수슬러지 시료와 부산 지역 하수처리장에서 채집된 하수슬러지시료를 대상으로 19종의 염화페놀류와 미국 환경보호청(US EPA)에서 우선 오염물질로 지정한 16종의 PAHs를 분석하여 농도 실태 및 분포 특성을 확인하고자 하였다. 분석결과 PAHs는 1.28$\sim$44.9 mg/kg dry wt.의 범위를 보였으며 대부분의 슬러지 시료에서 선행연구와 비슷하거나 낮은 농도를 보였지만 I5와 S4 시료의 경우 매우 높은 농도로 검출되어 슬러지의 종류 및 폐수 발생원에 따라 차이를 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 염화페놀류는 213$\sim$3,850 $\mu$g/kg dry wt.로 검출되었으며, 폐수슬러지에서 더 높은 농도로 나타났다. 특히 공단처리수가 하수와 같이 유입되는 하수슬러지 시료의 경우 폐수슬러지와 비슷한 농도수준을 보여 하수보다는 폐수에 의해 이들 물질의 농도가 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 슬러지의 종류에 따른 PAHs와 염화페놀류의 분포패턴을 파악하기 위해 주성분분석 및 군집분석을 실시하였다. 폐수슬러지의 경우 폐수가 배출되는 산업의 종류에 따라 서로 다른 분포패턴을 보였지만 하수슬러지는 비교적 유사한 분포패턴을 보였다. 식품산업이 대부분을 차지하는 I6 폐수슬러지 시료의 경우 하수슬러지와 유사한 분포패턴을 보여 폐수 발생원에 의한 영향을 많이 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하수슬러지에서 PAHs는 선행연구와 마찬가지로 phenanthrene, pyrene, fluoranthene이 상대적으로 높은 조성비(30.8$\sim$50.7%)를 보였으며, 염화페놀류는 2-chlorophenol이 36.0$\sim$66.8%의 높은 비율로 나타났다.
