Organics may be divided into biodegradable and nonbiodegradable fractions on the basis of biodegradability. Biodegradable organics may be subdivided into readily and slowly biodegradable fractions. As this biodegradability of organics in municipal wastewater has a great influence on the efficiency of a biological nutrient removal process, it has been assessed by respirometry. The respirometer, which consisted of a respiration chamber and a respiration cell, was used to measure the respiration rate of biomass utilizing the readily biodegradable organics. The readily biodegradable organics are about 10% of the COD in municipal wastewater. The adequate ratio of wastewater to sludge volume and the concentration of sludge are required in measuring the respiration rate due to the readily biodegradable organics. By using a biochemical oxygen demand test, the slowly biodegradable organics including biomass are estimated about 66% of COD. The soluble inert organics are about 11% of COD. On the basis of mass balance, the particulate inert organics are estimated about 13% of COD.

The biodegradability of organics has become essential for the design and modeling of a biological nutrient removal process. Respirometry for the batch test just with wastewater has been conducted to estimate active biomass and readily biodegradable organics in municipal wastewater simultaneously. Municipal wastewater contains significant active biomass, which is estimated about 17% of COD. Compared to the batch test seeded with sludge, the batch test just with wastewater represents a little higher readily biodegradable organics. This might be due to the different environment of the logarithmic growth of active biomass. The nitrate uptake rate test has been also performed for the estimation of the readily biodegradable organics. The nitrate uptake rate test results in a little higher readily biodegradable organics compared to the batch test seeded with sludge and similar organics compared to the batch test just with wastewater. This might be caused by the different sludge of a sequencing batch reactor process. Taking the result of the previous research into account, the readily biodegradable, slowly biodegradable, active biomass, soluble inert, and particulate inert organics are estimated about 11%, 49%, 17%, 11%, and 12% of COD, respectively.

This research was performed for the fundamental data using a advanced treatment process of piggery wastewater. Characteristics of influent wastewater was divided with various methods in fixed biofilm batch reasctor. Fractons of organic were divided into readily biodegradable soluble COD(Ss), slowly biodegradable COD(Xs), nonbiodegradable soluble COD($S_I$), and nonbiodegradable suspended COD($X_I$). Experimental results were summerized as following : i) biodegradable organics fraction in piggery wastewater was about 88.1 percent, and fraction of readily biodegradable soluble COD was about 66.1 percent. ii) Fractions of nonbiodegradable soluble COD was 11~12 percent, and soluble inert COD by metabolism was producted about 6~8 percent. iii) Active biomass fraction of attached biofilm was about 54.7 percent, and substrate utilization rate and maximum specific growth rate of heterotrophs were $8.315d^{-1}$ and $3.823d^{-1}$, respectively.

본 연구에서는 냉연도금공장의 각 단위공정에서 발생되는 폐수를 미생물을 이용하여 안정하게 처리하기 위하여 각 폐수의 특성파악과 처리조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 발생되는 폐수 중 알칼리성폐수가 전체폐수의 64%를 차지하였으며, 산중금속함유폐수는 30%를 차지했다. 탈류폐액의 COD는 53890 mg/L로 전체 폐수발생량의 0.03%에 불과함에도 불구하고 COD의 53%를 유발하고 있었으며, COD의 94%는 SCN에 의해 기인하였다. 혼합폐수를 미생물로 처리할 때 혼합폐수 중 SCN농도가 200 mg/L 이하일 때 제거가 용이하였다. 반면 COD 유발물질은 400 mg/L 이하가 되더라도 처리효율이 미흡하였다. 이는 탈류폐액 중에는 난분해성 유기물질이 다량 함유되어 있기 때문이라 판단된다. 혼합폐수를 처리할 때 초기에 pH가 7.33이었지만 8 h 후에는 7.99로 상승하였다. 이는 탈류폐액에 함유된 SCN이 박테리아에 의해 분해될 때 발생되는 암모니아에 의해 기인한 것으로 사료된다.
