Abstract

Biogas yields point of view, the possibility of reusing excess sludge treated by thermal pretreatment for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion process has been investigated in recent year. Thermal pretreatment technology was considered as a pretreatment technique to improve excess sludge properties because of the solubilization of particulate organics. As a view point of sludge reduction and recycle, however, many researchers focused on the ability of particulate hydrolysis and COD solubilization under a high temperature, and few reports have addressed on the physical/chemical characteristics changing. This research was performed to evaluate the effects of a various temperature and chemical additives on carbon formation and fractionation in treated slurry from thermal pretreatment. Based on the results, it was revealed that oxidants injection and temperature changing have significantly caused the change of carbon fractions in slurry from thermal pretreament. Especially, it was considered that the efficiencies of particle hydrolysis increased with the increase of the reaction temperature. Low molecular weight(Mw < 350 g/mol) organic carbon formation increased with the increase of oxidants injection. It was expected that results of this research will provide an overview of the characteristics of thermal pretreatement for excess sludge reduction and recycle.

최근 다양한 형태의 슬러지 최종처리 기술들이 제안되고, 기존 혐기성 소화공정에서 바이오가스 생산효율을 증가시키기 위한 전처리 기술들이 개발되어왔다. 이들 기술 중 열적전처리(Thermal pretreatment) 기술은 기존 슬러지 처리방법과 다르게 입자의 유기성 성분을 용해시킴으로써 슬러지 특성을 변화시켜 감량과 재이용이 가능한 전처리 기술이다. 그러나 대부분의 연구들은 높은 온도에서 입자의 가수분해, COD 가용화부분에 중점을 두고 연구 되어졌으며, 소수의 결과들만이 물리, 화학적 특성변화에 대해서 보고되었다. 본 연구는 열적전처리 효율에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 온도, 약품이 탄소원 형성과 분율에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 반응온도가 증가함에 따라 입자의 가수분해 속도가 증가하였으며, 산화제의 주입량이 증가 할수록 고분자 유기성 물질은 감소하고 저분자 유기성 물질(분자량 350 g/mol 이하)의 분율이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이번 실험결과는 슬러지 감량화 및 재이용를 위한 열적 전처리에 의한 분자의 특성을 파악하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이라 판단한다.
