Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate of aerobic granulation by using aerobic granular reactor. To make aerobic granular sludge in short period of time, we used polymer. In reactor, we have studied on physicochemical characteristics of particle size, density, and microbial secreting polymer depending on aerobic particle's formation. The results of running aerobic granular reactor with 3, 6, 9 $kg{\cdot}COD/m^3{\cdot}d$ of COD loading rate and 35 days reaction time showed that particle size were 3.6 mm, 4.3 mm, and 3.4 mm respectively. The settling velocities were 1.5 cm/s, 1.6 cm/s, and 1.2 cm/s respectively. The microbic growth rates were 0.12 $d^{-1}$, 0.135 $d^{-1}$, and 0.133 $d^{-1}$ respectively. The overall result of aerobic granular reactor showed that $6kg{\cdot}COD/m^3{\cdot}d$ of COD loading rate had optimal physicochemical characteristics.

본 연구는 고분자 응집제를 이용하여 짧은 시간에 입상형태의 슬러지를 제조한 다음, 입상슬러지를 호기성 입상화 장치에 주입하여 입상화를 시도하였다. 각 반응조에서 호기성 입자의 형성에 따른 입자의 크기, 밀도, 입자내 미생물 체외분비 고분자물질 등의 물리.화학적인 특성을 조사하였다. 입상형태의 슬러지를 호기성 입상화 장치에 주입하여 COD 부하량 3, 6, 9 $kg{\cdot}COD/m^3{\cdot}d$로 35일간 운전한 결과 최종 형성된 호기성 입장의 평균 크기는 각각 3.6 mm, 4.3 mm, 3.4 mm 이었고 호기성 입자의 침강속도는 각각 1.5 cm/s, 1.6 cm/s, 1.2 cm/s 이었다. COD 부하량에 따른 미생물 군집체의 비성장속도는 0.12 $d^{-1}$, 0.135 $d^{-1}$, 0.133 $d^{-1}$이었으며 전반적으로 호기성 입상화 장치에서는 COD 부하량이 $6kg{\cdot}COD/m^3{\cdot}d$로 운전된 반응조에서 호기성 입자의 물리 화학적인 특성이 우수하였다.
