Abstract
Removal of nitrogen compound from waste water is essential and often accomplished by biological process. Denitrification bacterium, Paracoccus denitrificans (KCTC 2350) is employed to estimate the denitrification ability and the characteristics. In the immobilized biological reactor system, the measurement of absolute amount of active strain in the reactor is comparatively difficult or impossible. In this. study, a reactor was designed with the unwoven texture wrapped peep holed plastic tube to calculate the absolute amount of active strain by comparing the activity of the permeabilized and or immobilized reactor and the free cell reactor The reactor system was continuous stirred tank reactor and the reaction rate of substrate consumption was assumed to satisfy the Michaelis-Menten equation. The effluent concentration of nitrate and nitrite was measured to estimate the apparent parameter of Michaelis-Menten equation. As a result, we found that the amount of immobilized active strain was figured out to be half of the total active strain in the reactor and the time required to be reached in the equilibrium state in the permeabilized and or immobilized reactor system was figured out to be shorter than that of the free cell reactor system.
탈질화 균주인 Paracoccus denitrificans를 이용한 탈질화 공정에 있어서 탈질 효율의 증대를 위해 선행 연구를 바탕으로 화학적 permeabilization 처리 후 균주를 고정화시키는 방법을 이용하였다. 반응기는 이상적인 CSTR을 도입하여 free cell reactor와 immobilized cell reactor 그리고 permeabilized and immobilized cell reactor의 세 가지 형태의 실험을 실시하였으며, 탈질효율의 비교를 위해 M-M 식을 적용시켰다. 각 반응기의 체류시간에 따른 탈질 효과는 permeabilized and immobilized cell reactor가 가장 우수하였으며 또한 반응 평형에도 다른 두 반응기에 비해 빨리 도달하는 것으로 나타났다.
