Abstract

Two organic materials, peat and rock wool were used for removal of $H_2S$ by a biofilter inoculated with night soil sludge. By gradually increasing the inlet load of $H_2S$, the complete removal capacity, which was defined as the inlet load of $H_2S$ that was complete removed, and the maximum removal capacity of $H_2S$, which was the value when the removal capacity leveled off for organic materials, were estimated. Both values for Rock wool are larger than peat, based on a unit dry weight of material. By using kinetic analysis, the maximum removal rate of $H_2S$, $V_m$, and the saturation constant, $K_s$, were determined for all packing materials and the values of $V_m$ for rock wool was found to be larger. By using the kinetic parameters, the removal rates for $H_2S$ were compared both packing materials, and rock wool showed better performance for the removal of $H_2S$ in the inlet concentration range of 0~200ppm.

악취중 황화수소의 생물학적 제거시스템에서 바이오필터의 미생물 담체로 유기담체인 Peat와 Rock wool을 사용하고 미생물원으로 소화 슬러지를 식종했다. 유입 황화수소 농도를 증가시켜 완전히 제거되는 황화수소의 유입 부하를 완전 제거능, 제거를 보여준 최대의 제거량을 최대 제거능으로 정의하였다. 단위 중량 및 단위 체적 기준으로 비교한 완전 제거능 및 최대 제거능은 Peat보다 Rock wool의 결과가 높았다. 동력학적 반응속도 해석에 의한 황화수소의 최대 제거속도($V_m$) 및 포화정수($K_s$)를 이용한 속도해석 결과는 황화수소의 농도가 증가할수록 Rock wool의 반응속도가 빠르게 진전되었다.
