The effects of turning frequency were examined on the efficiency of composting lime treated excess sludge amended with sawdust from the activated sludge process after a liquid/solids separation process. The raw and excess sludge from the activated sludge process associated with the hog wastewater treatment system is a significant problem and composting is an effective method far reducing the pollution potential of hog wastewater sludge. The coagulant used sludge composting and ammonia emissions from composting are not well established. The effect of compost properties such as high total carbon, C/N ratio and pH value on performance of composting sludge and biofiltration of ammonia from composting process were investigated. The ammonia emission was not significantly increased during composting. The ammonia concentrations of the exhaust air of composter were ranged from 0.5 and 7 ppm about 12 days after composting. The performance of the hog wastewater sludge composting was the most sensitive to chemical treated sludge properties such as high total carbon and high C/N ratio of the initial compost mixes. Temperature in compost and ammonia emission were not greatly affected by the turning frequency.

In this study, a series of experiment was carried to improve dewaterability of the sludge produced in a treatment plant, located in Hongcheon, Gangwondo, which has been treating municipal wastewater and livestock wastewater. Optimum sludge mixing ratio and the amount of sludge conditioner were determined. As sludge conditioners, alum and ferric salt were selected and tested. For the measurement of sludge dewaterability, capillary suction time(CST) and the specific resistance were measured, The specific resistance was detemined by running a series of Buchner Funnel Test. Mixing the two sludges at a 50:50 ratio with the addition of 20 mL alum gave the best results in terms of dewaterability. The moisture content decreased by 2% at this condition.

This study focuses on the feasibility of bio-gas production using anaerobic digestion by measuring methane generation and biodegradability through the BMP test of industrial organic wastes. Organic wastes consist of entrails of pigs and organic residues of rumen generated from slaughter houses, wastewater sludge from slaughter waste water, fish offal and residues of vegetables from public wholesale markets, and wastewater sludge from the process of wastewater treatment in paper mill. The cumulative methane production by BMP test ranges from 149.3 ml/g-VS to 406.6 ml/g-VS and this is similar to methane generation of the normal wastewater sludge and food waste. As a result of measurement of biodegradability, wastewater sludge (S1 ~ S4) is low, ranging from 27.1% to 58.9 % and organic residues of rumen (G1) is low at 49.6 %. In conclusion, it turned out that raising the hydrolysis by various pre-treatments is necessary in order to produce bio-gas by using industrial organic wastes.

This research was investigated which denitrification of wastewater containing nitrate, using upflow anaerobic sludge blanket process. The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket process is also used for both artifical and industrial wastewater. Main ingredients investigated in the artifical and industrial wastewater experiment were the determination of optimum organism/nitrate ratios, nitrate removal efficiency by various hydrogen donor addition and characteristics of granular sludge and gas production in case of various hydrogen donor addition. From the experimental results the following conclusions were made: In case of adding methanol, ethanol and sodium acetate as hydrogen donor granular sludge was formed 50 days after seeding. Average diameter of granular sludge was 4.0 mm and settling velocity was 37 cm/min. Production rate of gas 3.3 L/d in case of adding methanol as hydrogen donor in wastewater containing 150mg/L nitrate. However adding ethanol and sodium acetate as hydrogen donor, gas production rate were 2.2-2.7L/d respectively. In case of adding methanol as hydrogen donor treatability of artifical wastewater contained 150mg/L as nitrate was about 93%. But in addition of sodium acetate in wastewater contained 40mg.L as nitrate, nitrate removal efficiency was 80%.

슬러지의 안정화, 휘발성 고형물 감소, 바이오가스 생산을 위해 혐기성 소화공정이 슬러지의 처리 방안으로 연구됐다. 본 연구에서는 하 폐수 슬러지(MWS, IWS), 혼합슬러지(Mix), 탈수슬러지(MWSC)를 대상으로 바이오가스 생산 가능성을 살펴보기 위해 Total solids, Volatile solids, 원소분석, BMP 실험을 하였다. Total solids 함량은 11.2~20.6 %의 값을 가지며 Volatile solids의 함량은 TS의 62.1~83.1 %의 값을 가지고 있다. C/N비는 4.96~8.33의 값을 나타났다. BMP test를 한 결과 혼합슬러지의 경우 약 20일, 하 폐수 슬러지의 경우 약 16~17일에 메탄발생이 종료되었다. 탈수케이크는 약 10일까지 메탄이 발생하였으며 가장 빨리 메탄발생이 종료되었다. 누적 메탄발생량의 경우 혼합슬러지가 395.50 mL $CH_4/g$ VS으로 가장 높은 누적 메탄 발생량을 가진다. 누적 이산화탄소 발생량은 탈수케이크를 제외하고 비슷한 값을 보이고 있다.

하수와 산업폐수를 처리하는데 생물학적 공정이 전세계적으로 이용된다. 생물학적 공정은 복합미생물로 구성된 슬러지를 사용한다. 슬러지 미생물이 성장함에 따라 폐수처리공정에서는 잉여슬러지가 발생한다. 잉여슬러지의 일부는 미생물을 보충하기 위해 폐수처리공정에 반송되지만 나머지는 폐기물로서 처리된다. 매년 전세계적으로 폐수발생이 증가함에 따라 폐수처리장의 수도 증가하여 많은 양의 폐슬러지가 생산된다. 따라서 폐슬러지에 대한 관리와 처리가 중요하다. 폐슬러지 처리비용은 폐수처리장 총운영비의 50-60%를 차지한다고 보고되었다. 슬러지 분해기술은 폐슬러지의 부피를 최소화하고 유용한 성분(예, P, N, 용해성 유기물)을 회수할 수 있는 새로운 기술이다. 물리적, 화학적, 그리고 생물학적 처리 또는 복합 처리에 기반을 둔 다양한 슬러지분해방법들이 개발되었다. 본 총설은 슬러지 분해방법들 중에서 비교적 덜 연구된 산 가수분해에 의한 슬러지 분해에 대해 중점적으로 다루었다. 본 총설에서 다룬 정보는 폐슬러지 처리를 위한 더 나은 기술을 개발하고 이식하는데 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants produce large amounts of sludge cakes for final disposal. This problem is an inevitable drawback inherent to the activated sludge process. Both the reduction of the amount of sludge produced and improvement of its dewaterability are presently very important issue also in Korea. So many pre-treatment processes have been developed in order to improve sludge dewatering efficiency. In this study the effects of hydrogen peroxide and paper sludge mixing processes were considered as reasonable alternatives to enhance sludge dewaterability. The CST of sludge was significantly decreased, and dewaterability improved by hydrogen peroxide oxidation treatment. The optimum dosage of hydrogen peroxide was proved to be 10mg/g-TS (when TS of sludge was 2%) with the conditions of pH 4 and only 1~2 minutes of reaction time. The mixing of paper sludge with sewage sludge was turned out to be very effective in reduction of sludge cake; 30% of sludge cake reduction was accomplished. Optimum mixing ratio of paper sludge was about 30%(v/v). This process also could save 25% of polymer to be required. These two alternatives are somewhat realistic, but it was concluded that paper sludge mixing process will be the best choice.

Triclosan is a synthetic antimicrobial agent used in numerous industrial and personal care products. Triclosan collected in wastewater treatment plants can be biodegraded up to 80%. However, little is studied about the abundances of known triclosan-degrading bacteria in activated sludge systems. A previous study reported that Sphingopyxis strain KCY1 isolated from activate sludge can cometabolically degrade triclosan. Recently, a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay specific to strain KCY1 has been developed. Thus, this study investigated the abundance of strain KCY1 in three different activated sludge wastewater treatments using a qPCR assay. Additionally, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), known as triclosan-degraders, and amoA gene were quantified. Strain KCY1 were detected in activated sludge samples from three different wastewater treatment plants. The concentrations of strain KCY1 and AOB were on the order of $10^5-10^6$ gene copies/mL, while amoA gene concentration was on the order of $10^4$ gene copies/mL.
