Abstract

In this paper, performance of a hybrid sequential aerobic-anaerobic natural system was investigated. Continuous aerobic and anoxic conditions were created by alternatively placing waste stabilization pond (WSP) and wale. hyacinth pond (WHP). Two pilot-scale treatment lines were built and operated; The first consists of WSP integrated with WHP and the second of WSP connected with Dark Pond(DP), namely control system ponds which were used to examine the effects of water hyacinth on nitrification and de-nitrification. The overall performance in nitrogen was 86% reduction in WSP-WHP and 36% in WSP-control pond system. Nitrogen was mostly removed by nitrification and de-nitrification which simultaneously occurred in the same water hyacinth ponds. For the de-nitrification, benthic layer was found out to be adequate support as a carbon source. In addition, WSP-WHP system was very effective in reducing phosphorus. Overall P removal efficiency in WSP-WHP is 81%, while it is only 16% in WSP-control. difference in phosphorus reduction between those two systems is thought to be caused by the plants and probably their roots producing extra-cellular materials, but these aspects need to be further studied.

본 논문은 호기-혐기 조건이 연속적으로 반복 운영되는 자연정화시스템의 질소제거에 관한여 연구하였다. 조류 광합성 활동을 극대화한 산화지(WSP: Waste Stabilization Pond)에서 호기조건을, 부레옥잠 잎과 줄기에 의해 태양광이 차단되어 산화지로부터 유입된 조류의 내호흡과 뿌리에 부착된 미생물 호흡에 의해 혐기조건이 형성되는 WHP(Water Hyacinth Pond)를 조합하여 운전하였다. Pilot plant는 2개 계열로 구성하여 운전하였다. 첫번째는 WHPs와 WSPs로 조합하였고, 두번째는 WSP와 질산화와 탈질화에 대한 식물의 효과를 평가하기 위해 대조반응조로 태양광을 차단한 반응조(DPs: Dark Ponds)를 조합하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 질소에 대한 전체적인 제거능력은 WSP-WHP에서 발휘되었으며 약 86%가 감소되었고 대조반응조 WSP-DP에서는 36%가 감소되었다. 대부분 질소는 WSP에서 질산화 된 후 WHP에서 탈질에 의해 제거되었다. 탈질이 원활히 수행될려면 외부탄소원이 필요한데 수생식물조 하부 수층에서 조류의 부패로 탄소원이 공급되었다. 그리고 WSP-WHP 시스템은 인 제거에도 매우 효과적이었다. WSP-WHP에서 인 제거율은 81%인 반면에 WSP-DPs에서는 단지 16%에 불과했다. 이들 두 시스템간의 인 제거율의 차이는 아마도 식물증식과 식물 뿌리에서 생산된 Extra-cellular 물질에 기인한다고 여겨지며 이러한 부분에 대해서는 향후 심도 있는 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
