Abstract

This study investigated the characteristics of nitrogen removal and microbial community in a lab-scale A$_2$O activated sludge process filled with the fluidized media at an aerebic basin. The change of microbial community was monitored based on quinone profiles of activated sludge according to feeding sewage with/without external carbon source. Low C/N ratio(COD$_{Cr}$/T-N of 1.24) sewage was fed. The obtained results from this study were as follows; Ubiquinone(UQ) in the influent was in the descending order of UQ-8, UQ-10 and UQ-9. Menaquinone(MK) was simpler and much less than UQ. The ratio of UQ/MK was less than 0.41 and the dissimilarity was below 0.26. Without an external carbon source, MK-8 was the dominant species and there were 3 kinds of quinone species and low DQ and EQ values in an anaerobic basin. The ratio of UQ/MK increased to 2.3 in an anoxic basin. In an oxic basin, UQ-7 and UQ-8 were the dominant species. UQ-7 was dominating in suspended microorganisms, while UQ-8 was in attached microorganisms. With an external carbon source addition, MK-8 decreased but UQ-8 increased in an anaerobic basin. So did quinone species, DQ and EQ values. There was also a change in an anoxic basin with the improvement of denitrification. UQ-8 decreased instead, MK-7 and MK-8 increased. UQ/MK ratio decreased 2.3 to 1.4. It means that the dominant species change from Pseudomonas sp. to Bacillus and Micrococcus species. etc. In an oxic basin, UQ-8 replaced UQ-7 in suspended microorganisms and UQ-10 replaced UQ-8 in attached microbials. This seemed related with the growth of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobactor species.

본 연구는 호기조에 유동상 접촉여재를 충전한 실험실 규모의 A$_2$O 공법을 이용하여 낮은 C/N비(COD$_{Cr}$/T-N = 1.24) 하수처리시에 외부 탄소원 주입량 여부에 따른 탈질 및 미생물 군집구조 변화특성을 검토하였다. 미생물 군집구조 특성 분석은 퀴논분석을 이용하여 수행하였다. 실험으로부터 얻어진 결론은 다음과 같다. C/N비가 낮은 유입하수의 미생물 군집특성은 유비퀴논(UQ) 동족체 비율이 UQ-8 > UQ-10 > UQ-9 > 기타의 순으로 감소하고 메나퀴논(MK) 동족체는 UQ 동족체에 비해 존재비(f)가 적고 단순하였다. MK/UQ비는 0.41 이하, 비유사도(D)는 0.26 이하이었다. 외부탄소원 미주입 경우, 각 공정에서의 미생물 군집 특성은 혐기조에서는 퀴논종이 3종으로 MK-8이 우점이고 DQ와 EQ값이 작았다. 무산소조에서는 UQ/MK비가 2.3으로 호기성 미생물의 존재비가 높았다. 호기조에서는 부유성인 경우 우점퀴논이 UQ-7이며, 접촉여재 부착성인 경우 우점 퀴논이 UQ-8이었다. 외부탄소원을 주입한 경우, 미생물 군집 구조특성은 미주입시보다 혐기조에서 MK-8 비가 감소하고 UQ-8비, 퀴논종수, DQ값과 EQ값는 증가하였다. 외부탄소원 주입시 탈질향상은 주로 무산소조에서 일어났으며 UQ/MK비가 2.3에서 1.4으로 감소하였다. 이는 주로 UQ-8의 감소와 MK-7 및 MK-8의 증가에 의한 요인으로 미생물군집구조가 Pseudomonas sp.에서 Bacillus 및 Micrococcus sp. 같은 종의 구조로 변화함을 의미한다. 호기조에서 부유성인 경우 우점퀴논이 UQ-7에서 UQ-8으로, 부착성인 경우 UQ-8에서 UQ-10으로 변하였는데 이는 부유성에서 Nitrosomonas가 부착성에서 Nitrobactor의 존재비가 증가하였음을 의미한다.
