Abstract
The ash reduction effects and fuel property changes of spent mushroom substrates by acid solution extraction, and the production possibilities of wood pellet fuel using them were studied. The ash weight of spent Pleurotus eryngii substrates was reduced from 8.81%(w/w) to 3.33%(w/w), and calorific value was increased from 3,958.3 kcal/kg to 4219.2 kcal/kg when extracted with a mixture of Acetic acid 2%(w/w) and Anhydrous citric acid 1%(w/w) in condition of liquid ratio 1:8, extraction temperature $55^{\circ}C$ and extraction time 180 min. The ash weight of spent Flammulina velutipes substrates was reduced from 14.91%(w/w) to 4.07%(w/w), and calorific value was increased from 4,190.3 kcal/kg to 4,219.2 kcal/kg when extracted with a mixture of Acetic acid 3%(w/w) and Anhydrous citric acid 1%(w/w) in condition of liquid ratio 1:8, extraction temperature $65^{\circ}C$ and extraction time 180 min. The ash weight of spent Pleurotus osteratus substrates was reduced from 3.31%(w/w) to 0.59%(w/w), and the smallest reduction was in calorific value from 4,558.6 kcal/kg to 4,216.2 kcal/kg when extracted with a mixture of Acetic acid 1%(w/w) and Anhydrous citric acid 1%(w/w) in condition of liquid ratio 1:8, extraction temperature $65^{\circ}C$ and extraction time 180 min.
농산폐기물인 폐버섯배지의 목재 펠릿 연료화 가능성을 탐색하기 위하여 국내 발생량이 가장 많은 새송이버섯, 팽이버섯, 느타리버섯 폐배지를 대상으로 산(acid) 첨가 용매추출에 의한 회분감소 실험을 수행하였고 이에 따른 연료특성 변화를 탐색하였다. 새송이버섯 폐배지는 초산 2%(w/w), 무수구연산 1%(w/w) 첨가군, 액비 1:8, 추출온도 $55^{\circ}C$, 추출시간 180분의 추출조건에서 무처리군의 회분함유량 8.81%(w/w), 발열량 3,958.3 kcal/kg 대비 각각 3.33%(w/w), 4,219.2 kcal/kg로 성능을 극대화시킬 수 있었으며, 팽이버섯 폐배지는 초산 3%(w/w), 무수구연산 1%(w/w) 첨가군, 액비 1:8, 추출온도 $65^{\circ}C$, 추출시간 180분의 추출조건에서 무처리군의 회분함유량 14.91%(w/w), 발열량 4,190.3 kcal/kg 대비 각각 4.07%(w/w), 4,627.6 kcal/kg로 성능이 극대화되었으며, 느타리버섯 폐배지는 초산 1%(w/w), 무수구연산 1%(w/w) 첨가군, 액비 1:7, 추출온도 $65^{\circ}C$, 추출시간 180분의 추출조건에서 무처리군 대비 회분함유량이 3.31%(w/w)에서 0.59%(w/w)로 감소효과가 극대화되었고 발열량은 4,558.6 kcal/kg 대비 4,216.2 kcal/kg로 감소효과가 최소화됨으로써 성능이 극대화되었다.
