초록

Anammox(anaerobic ammonium oxidation)와 Canon(completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite) 공정과 같은 새로운 미생물학적 공정은 혐기성 소화 슬러지 상징수와 같은 고농도 암모늄 폐수로부터 효과적으로 질소를 제거할 수 있는 미생물학적 처리 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 합성폐수와 슬러지 소화조 상징수를 대상으로 상향류식 입상슬러지상 형태를 가진 새로운 Canon 형 질소 제거공정의 적용 가능성과 그 운전특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 이때 산소공급원으로 주입된 공기는 유출수 반송라인에 설치된 외부폭기조에서 공급하였다. 합성폐수(${\leq}110$ mg $NH_4$-N $L^{-1}$)를 사용한 첫 번째 실험에서는 유효 HRT 3.8일에서 약 95%의 암모늄(T-N 기준 92%)이 제거되었다. 또한 슬러지 소화 상징액($438{\pm}26$ mg $NH_4$-N $L^{-1}$)을 이용한 두 번째 실험에서는 유효 HRT 5.4일과 3.8일에서 각각 $94{\pm}1.7%$와 $76{\pm}1.5%$의 질소가 제거되었다. 두 실험 모두 유출수에서의 아질산염과 질산염 농도는 매우 낮게 검출되었다. 다른 미생물학적 질소 제거 신기술과 비교하였을 때 이 공정은 상당히 낮은 산소소모량($0.29{\sim}0.59$ g $O_2$ $g^{-1}N$)과 알칼리 소모($3.1{\sim}3.4$ g $CaCO_3$ $g^{-1}N$) 특성을 보였다. 이 공정은 또한 간단한 반응조 형상을 가지고 있으므로 효과적인 미생물 확보능력과 함께 시설투자 및 유지관리비용이 낮은 장점을 가지고 있다.

The novel microbial process such as Anammox(anaerobic ammonium oxidation) and Canon(completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite) processes is promising biotechnology to remove nitrogen from ammonium-rich wastewater like anaerobic sludge digester liquid. In this research, a new Canon-type nitrogen removal process adopting upflow granular sludge bed type configuration was investigated on its feasibility and process performance, using synthetic wastewater and sludge digester liquids. Air as an oxygen source was provided in an external aeration chamber with flow recirculation. In the first experiment using the synthetic wastewater(up to 110 mg $NH_4$-N $L^{-1}$), the ammonium removal was about 95%(92% for T-N) at effective hydraulic retention time(HRT) for 3.8 days. In the second experiment using the sludge digester liquids($438{\pm}26$ mg $NH_4$-N $L^{-1}$), the total nitrogen removal was $94{\pm}1.7%$ at HRT for 5.4 days and $76{\pm}1.5%$ at HRT for 3.8 days, respectively. Little nitrite and nitrate were observed in the effluent of both experiments. The process revealed quite a lower oxygen($0.29{\sim}0.59$ g $O_2$ $g^{-1}N$) and less alkalinity($3.1{\sim}3.4$ g $CaCO_3$ $g^{-1}N$) consumption as compared to other new technology in microbial nitrogen removal. The process also offers the economical compact reactor configuration with excellent biomass retention, resulting in lower cost for investment and maintenance.
