The purpose of this study is to efficiently treat the sewage sludge discharged from sewage treatment plants and evaluate the feasibility of the manufacture of lightweight aggregates(LWA) using a large quantity of sewage sludge. Sintered lightweight aggregate from sewage sludge is experimentally manufactured with various mass ratios of clay to sewage sludge by a pilot plant, and is tested for density, water absorption and crushing value. Their physical properties are compared to those of a commercial sintered lightweight aggregate. As a result, an experimentally manufactured lightweight aggregate is similar or superior in physical properties to the commercial lightweight aggregate. The manufactured lightweight aggregate could be used for structural concrete and non-structural concrete.

하수슬러지와 음식물 침출수슬러지 또는 제지슬러지를 혼합하여 부숙시킨 후 줄지렁이에게 급이하면서 지렁이의 섭식률 및 생장률을 조사하였다. 하수슬러지에 음식물쓰레기 침출수슬러지를 혼합하여 30일 부숙시킨 것에 대한 지렁이 개체군의 섭식량은 10, 20일 부숙시킨 것에 대한 섭식량보다 높았다. 그러나 부숙기간에 상관없이 먹이 급이 90일 경과 후 지렁이 개체군의 밀도는 감소하였고, 먹이급이 180일 경과 후 지렁이 개체군의 연령구성에서 성충의 비율이 현저하게 높은 것으로 보아 하수슬러지에 음식물쓰레기 침출수슬러지를 혼합하여 부숙시켜 전처리된 먹이는 지렁이 개체군의 차세대로의 성장을 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 하수슬러지에 제지슬러지를 혼합하여 20일 부숙시킨 것에 대한 지렁이 개체군의 섭식량 및 밀도는 10, 30일 부숙시킨 것보다 높게 나타났다. 부숙기간에 상관없이 먹이급이 90일까지는 지렁이 개체군의 밀도가 증가하였으나, 먹이급이 90일 이후부터 감소하였다. 따라서 하수슬러지를 장기간 급이시 발생하는 밀도 감소에 기인하는 하수슬러지 내 독성물질의 규명 및 이를 제거하는 다른 전처리과정이 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 한편, 줄지렁이 개체군의 밀도, 유충 및 성충의 비율, 섭식량 등을 고려하였을 때, 하수슬러지와 제지슬러지를 혼합하여 20일 부숙시킨 것이 다른 전처리 먹이보다 지렁이퇴비화 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: In order to review both the effects of sewage sludge dewaterability and deodorizing ability in the existing advanced sewage treatment process, BIO-CLOD (a solidified mixture of 10% Bacillus concentrate and inorganics) was used as an inorganic conditioner effective for deodorization treatment in addition to the removal of organic matter and nutritive salts. Methods: Sludge dewaterability was evaluated using specific resistance to filtration (SRF) experiments with six agitators and two types of commercially available BIO-CLOD; one that is made by grinding solid matter (powdered BIO-CLOD) and one that has been obtained by sieving a separation with a particle diameter of 100 mesh (100 mesh BIO-CLOD). For deodorization odor treatment experiments, 20 g of commercially available solid BIO-CLOD was submerged in four liters of sewage sludge and mixed and agitated for 45 days. Results: When BIO-CLOD was injected into sewage sludge to experimentally compare specific resistance to filtration (SRF), the optimum amount of BIO-CLOD to be injected was shown to be 2% w/v and the SRF value in this case was $1.35{\times}10^{12}m/kg$. pH changes following BIO-CLOD injection were within 6.5-7.0. By 14 days after submerging BIO-CLOD into the sewage sludge to evaluate its deodorizing ability, $H_2S$ decreased by 68% and methyl mercaptan decreased by 74%. By 45 days after the submergal, both items decreased by 100%, indicating deodorizing ability. Conclusion: To compare the levels of dewaterablity of sewage sludge at different particle sizes of inorganic conditioner, powdered BIO-CLOD, particle size 100 mesh BIO-CLOD, and bentonite were tested. It could be seen that as the powdered BIO-CLOD increased, the precipitability increased up to 62% in 30 minutes. As an inorganic conditioner, BIO-CLOD was identified as a stable sludge conditioner that does not affect pH.

This study was performed to assess the possibility of application of sewage sludge which is the side-product from domestic sewage treatment plant to the materials for biodiesels by investigating the yields and composition of the lipids and fatty acid methyl esters(FAMEs) from soxhlet extraction and in-situ transesterification. As the results, yields of in-situ transesterification were higher than soxhlet extraction. In comparison by sewage sludge type, yields of sewage sludge mixed nightsoil or livestock were higher than a single sewage sludge. And maximum yield showed up to 14 wt%. Fatty acid composition of extracted lipids and synthesized FAMEs consists of palmitic acid(C16:0), palmitoleic acid(C16:1), stearic acid(C18:0), oleic acid(C18:1), and linoleic acid(C18:2).

Dumping of waste sludge to ocean will be prohibited in Jananuary, 2012. Thus, various methods of sludge recycling are intensively studied. To present new way of sewage sludge recycling method, feasibility of making porous biological support media was investigated. Porous biological support media was made of sludge cake from sewage treatment plant and loess. They were mixed in varying ratio and burnt in high temperature to ensure sufficient mechanical strength. It was evaluated that about 67% of sewage sludge were ignitible. The ignitible portion play an important role in making pore in biomedia during ignition process. It was evaluated that optimum mixing ratio of loess to sludge cake was 25% in respect of compressive strength. In results of observation using scanning electron microscope (SEM), inner structure of biomedia become simple when the contents of loess are increased.

This study was performed to compare the effects of rice straw and towage sludge cake 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-3 and RS-4 were 4:0, 4:1, 4:2, 4:3 and 4:4, respectively. Weight ratios of food wastes to sewage sludge rake in reactor control, SL-1, SL-2, SL-3 and SL-4 were 4:0, 4:1, 4:2, 4:3 and 4:4, respectively. Reactors were operated for 24 days with 1 hour stirring by 1 rpm and 2 hours aeration per day. The values of pH of food waters, rice straw and sewage sludge cake were 4.39, 7.40 and 5.79, 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. The lowering of the weight ratio of food wastes to sewage sludge cake resulted in the slow weight and volume reduction rates. C/N ratio in control was larger than that in rice straw containing reactors, and that in rice straw containing reactors was larger than that in sewage sludge cake containing reactors. Salinity and conductivity in reactors were condensed and increased by reaction days.

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.

Sewage sludge has been widely used as an organic fertilizer in agriculture. However, sewage sludge can cause serious malodor problems resulting from the decomposition of organic compounds in anaerobic conditions. The malodor of sewage sludge mainly occurs due to a low carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N), high moisture, and low temperature, which are ideal conditions for ammonia emissions. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the reduction of the odor-causing ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) in sewage sludge by co-application of microbes and methanol (MeOH). The physico-chemical properties of the municipal sewage sludge showed that the odor was mainly caused by a higher NH₃-N content (2932.2 mg L^-1). Supplementation with MeOH (20%) as a carbon source in the sewage sludge significantly reduced the NH₃-N up to 34.2% by increasing C/N ratio. Furthermore, the sewage sludge was treated with the NH₃-N reducing and plant growth promoting (PGP) bacteria Stenotrophomonas rhizophila SRCM 116907. The treatment with S. rhizophila SRCM 116907 significantly increased the seedling vigor index of Lolium perenne (10.3%) and Chrysanthemum burbankii (42.4%). The findings demonstrate that supplementing sewage sludge with methanol significantly reduces ammonia emissions, thereby mitigating malodor problems. Overall, the study highlights the potential of using a microbial and methanol approach to improve the quality of sewage sludge as an organic fertilizer and promote sustainable agriculture.

Geotextile tube technology has been perceived as an economical solution for liquid sludge treatment, and analyzing its consolidation behavior is necessary to be able to evaluate the dewatering capabilities of large geotextile tubes filled with contaminated soil, tailings, sewage sludge, and so on. The objectives of this study are to present a method that can adequately convey the consolidation behavior of geotextile tubes filled with sewage sludge, and to investigate the effects of various geotextile tube consolidation parameters. In this study, variable coefficients of consolidation are utilized to analyze the consolidation process of geotextile tubes filled with sewage sludge. The consolidation solution was verified by comparing the measured and predicted data from a hanging bag test conducted in the literature. After verifying the proposed solution, the consolidation parameters of a geotextile tube composed of a woven polypropylene outer layer and a non-woven polypropylene layer filled sewage sludge were obtained. Using the obtained parameters, the consolidation behavior of a large-scale composite geotextiles tube was predicted.
