The characteristics of activated sludge affecting the biodegradation of plastic materials under aerobic condition were studied using cellophane film as a model system. The activated sludges of site 3, which treat a mixture of domestic sewage and supernatant of septic tank, obtained from December 1993 to April 1994 showed similar biodegradation activities. Biodegradations for 28 days reached around 80%. Viable cell number of inoculums maintained at a level of 10$^{6}$~10$^{7}$ /ml. In this range, viable cell number showed no relationship with biodegradation activities. The activa- ted sludges of site 2, which treat a mixture of domestic sewage and anaerobic digest of nightsoil, obtained four times from April 1993 to April 1994 showed very different biodegradation activities ranged from 20% to 80% for 28 days. Inoculum size affects biodegradation significantly. One percent inoculum showed the best biodegradation among the inoculum sizes of 0.1, 1.0 and 10%. Ten percent inoculum revealed inhibitory effects on the biodegradation activity which can be greatly reduced by centrifugation and filtration. Filtration was better than centrifugation in reducing inhibitory effects.

Dewatering sludge using inorganic chemicals with polymer has been evaded for reuse on account of the risks of high heavy metals contained and soil acidification. Composting feasibility of coagulation & dewatering sludges produced from livestock waste treatment plant was investigated. The results of analysis prove that dewatering sludge is valuable matter with suitable elements for composting if high quality ferric chloride ($FeCl_3$) is used for coagulation & dewatering process. In pot-cultivation of harvestes, using effects of dewatering sludge improved with lime treatment was very effective. The results of pot-cultivation proved that harms of crops according to different acid tolerances were not detected. But it was not applied to crops with weak acid tolerance or greenhouse for free from gas damage. Also, Further studies and monitorings are necessary to use sludges because results of pot-cultivation were generated differently by characteristics of soil, nutrient demand of plants, mature degree of sludge, consecutive cultivation and etc.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mechanical(ball-mill) solubilization of excess sludge especially focused on the TSS(total suspended solid) reduction during the conventional aerobic digestion of sewage sludges including primary and/or excess sludge, HRT was examined at the 10 days and 20 days. According to the results of this study, TSS removal efficiency of solubilized excess sludge was almost two times higher than that of non-solubilized excess sludge. And as the proportion of the primary sludge increased, TSS removal efficiency became worse because primary sludge rarely contained microbial cells which could be easily solubilized physically. It was also proved that by the application of proper solubilization techniques to the excess sludge, HRT for the aerobic digestion could be lessened(above 50%) dramatically keeping the same or better digestion performance. The fact that between primary and excess sludges, only the excess sludge is quite effective in the sludge solubilization and in it's reduction says that excess sludge releasing sources are key-point in the sludge cake reduction field as a source control.

The combined SHARON (Single reactor system for High ammonium Removal Over Nitrite)-ANAMMOX (Anaerobic ammonium oxidation) reactor were operated in mesophilic condition ($35^{\circ}C$). In this study, microbial granulation and characteristics of SHARON and ANAMMOX sludges were investigated using settling test, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH). In SHARON reactor, Aerobic granulation with diameter of 1.5~2.5 mm was accomplished but aerobic granulation was weaker than anaerobic granular sludge. Initial seed sludge of ANAMMOX reactor was used as attached media for biofilm growth. ANAMMOX sludge was more compact and rounder rather than seed sludge. Though ANAMMOX sludge has high activity, it has lower settling ability than the seed granule. The color of ANAMMOX sludge was changed from dark to redish brown granular with diameter of 1~2 mm. In FISH of ANAMMOX sludge, high fraction of Candidatus B. stuttgartiensis which paid great role of nitrogen conversion was detected. Also, FISH results reveals that ANAMMOX bacteria inhabit at inner parts near surface, having advantages in utilization of substrates and protection from oxygen inhibition.

Synthetic organic polyelectrolytes can be used to condition sludges to enhance their dewaterability. When conditioning biological sludges, the charge on the polymer has a significant impact on the effectiveness of the polymer as a conditioner. The objectives of this investigation were to determine the most effective type and dosage of polymer for conditioning digested sludge prior to dewatering, and to investigate the relationship between dewaterability and particle size. 3 types of digested sludge were used under the different digestion processes like anaerobic digestion, aerobic digestion and intermittent aerobic digestion. CST(capillary suction time), TTF(time-to-filter) and SRF(specific resistance to filtration) were tested as a dewaterability index and the number of particle distribution was analyzed using particle size analyzer. The results indicate that cationic polymer appears to be required for effective conditioning of these 3 types digested sludge and the optimal polymer dosage is about 0.6% of SS. CST and TTF are well correlated with mean particle diameter of which the dimension order is 1.7.

The objective of this study is to examine the subsitiution effect of the waste oyster shell powder as the conditioning agent in municipal wasterwater sludge dewatering process. Beacuse the oyster shells have a large amount(about 38% by weight) of alkaline minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, they are thought to have the potential as a good conditioning agent. In this study, the physico-chemical properties of powdered oyster shells (75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ or 200 mesh) and the dewatering characteristics of municipal waste water sludge using powdered oyster shells and CaCO3 are investigated. The conclusions are as follows, 1. Oyster shell could produce calcium ions up to 14ppm at pH-7.0, and this represents that oyster shell is a potential properties as a good conditioner. 2. 100ml of wastewater sludges, conditioned with pretreated oyster shell, are dewatered to the level of 25% solid concentration. 3. Wasterwater sludges, conditioned with oyster shell and CaCO3 are dewatered to the level of 32% solid concentration. And this shows that two-stage combined conditioning process is desirable than the one-stage conditioning process.

The paper deals with the proper design of GGH(gas-gas heater) panel elements of desulfurization equipments in a thermoelectric power plant. When fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum et cetera are burnt to ashes, sulfur oxide compounds are produced, and calcareous sludges are deposited at GGH panel elements. In this case, operation of a power plant equipments is interrupted, and a tremendous economic loss comes into existence. One of the purposes of the paper is to find flow velocity distributions and regions of depositions when calcareous sludges pile up on the GGH panel elements through the fluid analysis. In the fluid analysis, flow velocity and position distributions of particles between GGH panel elements are demonstrated according to time variation for ammonia and calcium hydroxide particles.

국내 모래수요에서 인공쇄석사의 점유율은 30% 이상이며 지속적인 증가추세에 있다. 인공쇄석사는 주로 화강암 및 편마암류를 원암으로 이용하며, 공정 중에 생기는 슬러지(63마이크론 이하입자)는 침전제를 이용하여 분리되며, 중량대비 15% 내외가 포함된다. 슬러지 구성광물은 석영, 장석, 운모류와 함께 고령토, 녹니석, 질석, 스멕타이트 및 방해석도 간혹 포함된다. 쥬라기 화강암류에서 발생되는 슬러지는 대체적으로 백악기 화강암류에 비해서 더 많은 고령토 및 스멕타이트를 포함한다. 반면, 선캠브리아기 시료는 고령토 및 스멕타이트가 확인되지 않는다. 화학조성에 있어서도 화강암류와 슬러지의 사이에 명확한 차이를 나타낸다. 주요 10성분 중에서 $SiO_2,\;Na_2O$ 및 $K_2O$를 제외한 나머지 성분들은 슬러지에서 훨씬 높은 함량을 나타낸다. 슬러지에서 $SiO_2$의 감소는 점토입도에서의 석영함량감소에 기인하며, $Na_2O 감소는 알바이트에 비해서 Ca사장석이 풍화에 약하기 때문이며, $K_2O$는 대체적으로 변화가 미약하다. 슬러지에 대한 입도분석에 의하면, 토양조직 분류상 사질양토에 해당한다. 투수율 측정에 의하면 투수계수가 높으며, 그 원인은 실트 및 점토입자가 다소 풍부하기 때문이다. 현재 우리나라에서 폐기되는 슬러지는 불투수성이 높아 산업폐기물 중의 환경오염물로 분류되며, 쇄석사의 회수율을 저하시키므로 원암선택시 풍화를 덜 받은 화강암류를 선택할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 하수슬러지와 침출수 공정슬러지를 건조연료와 혼합하여 물리적 특성을 개선하고 악취를 저감하는 중성고화제를 개발하여 매립 복토재로 재활용하기 위한 연구이다. 슬러지와 건조연료의 배합비율(W/W)은 1:1이 적정하며 기계 혼합시험에서도 균질하게 혼합되었다. 슬러지는 건조연료와 혼합되면서 함수율과 점성은 저감되고, 입자와 입자사이에 공극이 생겨 통기성을 가지게 된 것을 알 수 있었다. 다양한 혼합시험과 악취시험 결과, 중성고화제는 악취저감에 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었으며, 주 원료는 하수슬러지 소각재로 폐기물의 재활용과 생산비용에 있어 경쟁력이 있다. 중성고화제를 적용하여 고화복토재를 생산하면 압축강도 등 물리적인 특성이 향상되고 복토재 사용 품질기준도 만족하다. 또한, 알칼리성 고화복토제 대비 복합악취는 1/3 (3,000 → 1,000), 고화제 사용량은 1/8 (50% → 6%)로 낮춘다는 것이 입증되었다. 그리고 이것은 토사와 혼합하여 식물재배를 위한 토지개량제로 활용이 가능함을 입증하기 위해 추가 연구가 진행되고 있다.
