Abstract
For the treatment of poorly biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) in dye-processing wastewater, immobilized microbial beads were prepared by uslng agar-acrylamide method. PVA removal efficiency for the synthetic wastewater was 85% at the PVA volume loading rate of $3.1g/\ell$.day. In case of real desizing wastewater, PVA removal efficiency was 81.3% at the PVA volume loading rate of $3.25g/\ell$.day. In observation of cross section of immobilized bead passed 5 months with diameter of 2.4mm, the growth of cell was limited by the resistance of substrate and oxygen transfer for the inners region of more than 48% of bead radius from the surface. It was estimated that 70% of total removed PVA was degraded by the immobilized cells in the continuous immobilized reactor. Substrate utilization rate in the suspended reactor was decreased with increasing dilution rates above 0.083 hr-1, but that in the immobilized reactor was increased with increasing dilution rates up to 0.125hr-1. The substrate removal efficiency of immobilized reactor was much superior to that of suspended reactor with increasing dilution rates. Saturation constant of substrate utilization rate equation, Ks was $6.6 g PVA/\ell$, and maximum specific substrate utilization. k was 0.175g PVA/g cell.hr
염색가공 폐수 중 난분해성 물질이 PYA를 처리 하기 위하여, 한천-acrylamide를 이용한 bead를 제 조한 후 air-lift 반응기에서 연속실험을 행하였다. 합성폐수의 PYA놓도가 $3,100mg/\ell$. 체류시간 24hr일 때 유출수의 농도는 $4500mg/\ell$ 이며, 제거효율은 85% 이상을 나타내었다. 실제 호발폐수의 경우 PYA 및 COD농도가 $3,253mg/\ell$, $4,500mg/\ell$일 때, 체류시간 24hr에서 유출수의 농도는 $840mg/\ell, 480mg/\ell$이며, 제거효 율은 81.3%와 85.2%로 각각 나타났다. bead의 지름이 lmm일 때는 내부의 미생물 성장 이 양호하였으나 bead의 지름이 2mm일 때는 기질 과 산소전달저항에 의하여 반지름의 48% 이상은 미 생물의 성장이 저해를 받았다. 고정화 반응기에서 전체 기질 제거속도 중 bead 내 고정화 cell의 제거 분율은 평균 70%로 나타났다. 현탁 반응기에서 희석율 $0.083hr^{-1}$ 이상에서는 기질 이용속도가 감소하였으나 고정화 반응기에서는 희석율 $0.125hr^{-1}$까지 거의 선형척으로 증가하였다. PYA 제거속도식에서 포화상수 $K_s=6.60(g PVA/\ell)$와 최대 비기질 이용속도 k=0.175(g PVA/g cell.hr)를 얻었다.
