Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate removal characteristics of gaseous trimethylamine(TMA) through biofilter packed with waste tire-chips. The sludge in this experiment was collected from an activated sludge operated in a wastewater treatment facility treating malodorous pollutants. The nominal amount of collected sludge was inoculated through packing materials in the filter. The removal efficiencies for varying concentrations and SVs(Space velocity) were assessed based on TMA, COD$_{Cr}$, NO$_3{^-}$-N, NO$_2{^-}$-N, NH$_4{^+}$-N and EPS(Extracellular Polymeric Substances) in leachate, since biofilter had been steady-stately operated. The influent concentration of 10 ppm of TMA was removed to approximately 95% regardless of changing SV at 120 and 180 hr$^{-1}$, but it was lowered to 80 to 90% at SV 240 hr$^{-1}$. As influent concentration was gradually increased from 5 to 55 ppm, the removal efficiencies of TMA were initially high for 95% in the range of 5 to 10 ppm, but lowered to 80% for 10 to 30 ppm. As a part of kinetic study for TMA decomposition, V$_m$(maximum substrate removal rate) and $K_s$(substrate infinity coefficient) were 14.3 g$\cdot$m$^{-3}$$\cdot$h$^{-1}$ and 0.043 g$\cdot$m$^{-3}$, respectively while adapted period was shown in the range of 100 to 150 hr. Also, the EPS concentration was consistently observed from the leachate showing 100 to 200 ppm, which indicates that biofilm has been continuously formed and sustained throughout tire-chips packed reactor.

본 연구에서는 파쇄된 타이어칩을 담체로 충진한 biofilter를 이용하여 악취의 원인 물질인 trimethylamine(TMA)의 제거특성을 실험하였다. 실험에서 사용된 미생물은 S 수탁폐수 처리업체에서 채취한 활성슬러지를 순응 배양 하였으며, peristatic pump를 이용하여 20일간 바이오필터의 담체에 순환시키면서 접종 하였다. Biofilter의 안정화를 확인한 후 유입 농도와 공간속도를 변화시켜 처리효율을 측정하였으며, 침출수중의 액상 TMA, COD$_{Cr}$, NO$_3{^-}$-N, NO$_2{^-}$-N, NH$_4{^+}$-N, EPS(Extracellular Polymeric Substances)를 측정하여 생물학적인 영향과 처리효율에 대해 평가하였다. TMA의 유입농도를 약 10 ppm의 범위로 고정하고 SV(space velocity)를 120 hr$^{-1}$에서 240 hr$^{-1}$까지 증가시켜 TMA의 제거효율을 검토한 결과 120, 180 hr$^{-1}$에서는 95% 이상, SV 240 hr$^{-1}$에서는 최대 90%, 최소 80%의 제거효율을 얻어 최적 제거 공간 속도는 180 hr$^{-1}$임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한, SV를 180 hr$^{-1}$, 유입농도를 5$\sim$55 ppm까지 단계적으로 증가시켜 TMA의 제거효율을 검토한 결과 유입농도 10 ppm까지는 95%, 유입농도 10$\sim$30 ppm에서는 80%의 제거율을 보임을 알 수 있었고, 유입농도 40 ppm 이상에서는 제거효율이 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보여 TMA에 대한 임계 최대 제거 농도는 40 ppm임을 확인 할 수 있었다. Kinetic analysis를 통해 얻은 TMA의 최대 제거 속도($V_m$)와 기질친화상수($K_s$)는 각각 14.3 g$\cdot$m$^{-3}$$\cdot$h$^{-1}$과 0.043 g$\cdot$m$^{-3}$로 나타났으며, 충격부하에 대한 미생물의 순응 기간은 100$\sim$150 hr 정도로 나타났다. 또한, 침출수중의 EPS 농도가 100$\sim$200 ppm의 범위에서 지속적으로 측정되어 반응기내에서 생물막이 지속적으로 생성되어짐을 확인 할 수 있었다.
