Abstract

In this study, granular sludge used in an anaerobic process treating brewery waste was inoculated in a laboratory scale of reactor to induce anaerobic ammonium oxidation(ANAMMOX). The reactor was operated with synthetic wastewater, which prepared at 1:1 ratio of $NH_4^+-N$ over $NO_2^--N$. Changes in nitrogen concentration, COD, alkalinity and gas production were analyzed. There are 3 phases of spanning in experimental period according to influent nitrogen concentration. In the Phase 1, each of the concentration of $NH_4^+-N$ and $NO_2^--N$ were increased from 1.91 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$ to 14.29 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$. Ammonium nitrogen loading(same as nitrite nitrogen) was 23.81 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$ in the Phase 2 and 19.05 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$ in the Phase 3, respectively $NO_2^--N$ has been removed up to 99% during whole period while the removal efficiency of $NH_4^+-N$ was significantly varied. In Phase 2, $NH_4^+-N$ was removed up to 75%. Microorganisms varied temporally through three phases were characterized by 16s rDNA analysis methods. ANAMMOX bacteria were dominantly found in phase 2 when the removal rate of $NO_2^--N$and $NH_4^+-N$ was the highest up to 99% and 75%, respectively. Due to erroneous exposed to air, the removal efficiency of $NH_4^+-N$ was unexpectedly lowered, but ANAMMOX bacteria still existed.

본 연구에서는 혐기성 암모늄 산화(ANAMMOX)반응을 유도하기 위해 양조폐수를 처리하는 메탄 생성 반응조의 입상 슬러지를 혐기성 반응기에 식종하였다. 암모니아성 질소($NH_4^+-N$)와 아질산성 질소($NO_2^--N$)를 1:1의 비율로 인공폐수를 조제하여 반응조를 운전하였다. 실험기간은 반응기의 유입 질소농도 조건에 따라 3개의 phase로 구분하였다. 각 phase별 유출수의 질소농도, COD, 알칼리도, 발생 가스 조성을 측정하여 처리효율을 평가하였다. Phase 1에서는 유입 $NH_4^+$-N $NO_2^-$-N를 각각 1.91 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$부터 14.29 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$까지 점차 높였으며 Phase 2에서 각 질소의 부하를 23.81 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$, Phase 3에서는 19.05 $gN/m^3{\cdot}d$로 하여 운전하였다. 아질산성 질소($NO_2^-$-N)는 전 기간에 걸쳐 99%까지 제거 되었으며, 암모니아성 질소($NH_4^+-N$)의 제거율은 각 phase별로 변동폭이 높았으며 이 중 Phase 2에서 최대 75%까지 제거되었다. 한편 각 phase별 반응조의 미생물 군집 변화는 16s rDNA방법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 입상 슬러지의 접종 초기인 Phase 1의 경우 메탄생성이 일정하게 유지되었으며 메탄균과 탈질균이 공존하였다. Phase 2의 경우 아질산성 질소($NO_2^--N$)와 암모니아성 질소($NH_4^+-N$)의 제거율이 각각 99%와 75%까지 증가하였으며 이 때 ANAMMOX균의 존재가 확인되었다. Phase 3의 경우 외부 공기 유입으로 인하여 암모니아성 질소(NH4+-N)의 제거율은 급격히 감소하였으나 미생물 군집 중 여전히 ANAMMOX균이 관측되었다.
