Laboratory study was conducted to provide basic data for operating anaerobic sequencing batch reactor(ASBR) process for treatment of nightsoil. The experiments were concerned with digestion characteristics, settleabiltity and dewaterability of digested sludge in ASBR system. Completely-mixed dally-fed control reactor without solid-liquid separation step was also operated to evaluate the baseline performance since the nature of nightsoil was changed with time. In all case, gas production from the ASBR shows 1.3 to 1.44 times higher than that from control, in spite of almost similar trend in organics removal. During thickening period, remarkable decrease in surface settling velocity was observed at the ASBRs compared with the control. In case of the ASBR run, flotation of mixed digested sludge was not occurred. Also, ultimate thickened volume of ASBRs increased 1.2~1.5 times compared with control. Dewaterability of digested sludge without conditioning decreased when the completely-mixed daily-fed reactor for ASBR run was converted to the ASBR. However, improvement of dewaterability of digested sludge from the ASBRs was observed as a result of addition of FeCl$_3$ to digested sludge for conditioning.

Since there are very limited numbers of thermophilic anaerobic digesters being operated, it is often difficult to start up a new one using sludge from an existing reactor as a seed. However, for obvious reasons it seems few attempts have been made to compare the start-up performance of thermophilic anaerobic digestion using different sources of seed sludges. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the start-up performance of anaerobic digestion using aerobic Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) from a plant and mesophilic Anaerobic Digested Sludge (ADS) as the seed source at both mesophilic ($35^{\circ}C$) and thermophilic ($55^{\circ}C$) temperatures. In this study, two experiments were conducted. First, thermophilic anaerobic reactors were seeded with WAS (VSS = 4,400 mg/L) and ADS (VSS = 14,500 mg/L) to investigate start-up performance with a feed of acetate as well as propionate. The results show that WAS started to produce $CH_4$ soon after acetate feeding without a lag time, while ADS had a lag time of 10 days. When the feed was changed to propionate, WAS removed propionate down to below the detection limit of 10 mg/L, while ADS removed little propionate and produced little $CH_4$. Second, in order to further compare the methanogenic activity of WAS and ADS, both mesophilic and thermophilic reactors were operated. WAS acclimated to anaerobic conditions shortly and after acclimating it produced more $CH_4$ than ADS. WAS at mesophilic temperature biodegraded acetate at the same rate as for thermophilic. However WAS at mesophilic temperature biodegraded propionate at a much faster rate than at thermophilic. WAS as the seed source of anaerobic digestion resulted in much better performance than ADS at both mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures for both acetate and propionate metabolism.

Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of anaerobic sequencing batch reactor(ASBR) for digestion of a municipal sludge. Each cycle of the ASBR comprised feeding, two-or three-day reaction, one-day thickening, and withdrawal. The reactors were operated at an HRT of 10days and 5days with an equivalent organic loading rate of 0.8-1.54 gVS/l/d, 1.81-3.56 gVS/l/d at 35$\circ$C, respectively. Solids accumulation was remarkable in the ASBR during start-up period, and directly affected by settleable solids in the feed sludge. Floatation thickening occured in the ASBRs, and Solids profiles at the end of thickening step dramatically changed at solid-liquid interface. Slight difference in solids concentrations was observed within thickened sludge bed. Efficiencies through floatation thickening were comparable to that of additional thickening of the completely mixed control reactor. Average solids concentrations in the ASBRs were 2.2-2.6 times higher than that in the control throughout the total operation period. The dehydrogenase activity had a strong correlation with the solids concentration. Organics removals based on clarified effluent of the ASBRs were consistently above 86%. Remarkable increase in equivalent gas production of 27-52% was observed at the ASBRs compared with the control though the control and ASBRs showed similiar effluent quality. Thus, digestion of a municipal sludge was possible using the ASBR in spite of high concentration of solids in the sludge.

하수처리 탈수여액 내에 존재하는 고농도 인을 스트루바이트 생성을 통해 제거하기 위한 타당성 조사를 수행하였다. 혐기 소화를 거친 탈수여액 내에는 암모니아가 인산염 보다 높은 농도로 존재하므로 별도의 질소 투입 없이 마그네슘 주입과 pH 조절만을 통해 인 제거가 가능하였다. 인 제거 효율은 마그네슘 주입량, 교반 시간, 침전 시간, pH에 영향을 받았으며, 최적 반응 조건은 $Mg^{2+}/PO_4^{3-}$ 비 2 mol/mol 이상, 교반 시간 10분 이상, 침전 시간 120분 이상, pH 8.5 이상으로 도출되었다. 위 조건에서의 연속 운전 시 총인 제거율 80%, 인산염 제거율 82% 달성이 가능하였다. 침전물의 원소 조성과 결정 구조는 기존 보고된 스트루바이트와 유사하였다.

1-부틸아민과 에피클로로히드린의 축합체 (PBE)인 새로운 수용성고분자를 합성하고, 적외선 스펙트럼과 레이저 광산란에 의한 산란광의 강도 측정에 의한 분자량 결정, 그리고 제타전위를 측정하여 PBE의 특성을 결정하였으며, PBE와 콜로이드상 벤토나이트입자들의 상호작용에 관해서도 연구 하였다. PBE는 그 골격에 3차 암모늄기를 가지고 있으며 분자량은 1600정도로 비교적 작은 편이었으며, PBE가 콜로이드성 벤토나이트입자에 흡착되는 현상은 Langmuir흡착등온식으로 잘 묘사되었다. 음전기를 띤 콜로이드성 벤토나이트입자 표면에 PBE의 흡착이 진행되면서 $\zeta$ 전위가 음의 값에서 양의 값으로 변하는 결과로부터 PBE가 양이온성고분자전해질인 것과 pH변화 및 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온의 농도변화로부터 PBE가 벤토나이트 표면에 흡착되는 현상은 양이온교환형식으로 이루어지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 PBE는 무기계 콜로이드인 벤토나이트 현탁액과 소화슬러지에 대해서 응집효과를 가지고 있음이 밝혀졌다.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of the type of sewage sludge (digested, non digested) on drying efficiency according to the polymer injection rate. The drying characteristics were shown using a near-infrared ray (NIR) and a microwave. As a result of the drying characteristics with NIR at a polymer dose ratio of 8%, the heating up period is up to 6 minutes after the start of the drying experiment. Afterwards, the constant rate drying period of the digested sludge (A, C and G sites) was 6 minute → 18 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, non digested sludge (B, D, E, F, H, I, J and K sites) showed gradual drying characteristics compared to digested sludge until complete drying (10%). As the polymer dose ratio of 10% and 12%, the heating up period for digested sludge is up to 6 minute after the start of the experiment. Afterwards, the constant rate drying period of the digested sludge was 6 minute → 20 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, the heating up period of non digested sludge was up to 10 minute after the start of the experiment, and the constant rate drying period was 10 minute → 22 minute, which was shorter than digested sludge. As a result of the drying characteristics with microwave at a polymer dose ratio of 8%, 10% and 12%, the constant rate drying period the digested sludge was 4 minute → 20~22 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, non digested sludge of the constant rate drying period was 4 minute → 22~30 minute, which was longer than digested sludge.

This study investigated microbial communities and their diversity in a full-scale mesophilic anaerobic digester treating sewage sludge. Influent sewage sludge and anaerobic digester samples collected from a wastewater treatment plant in Busan were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. It was found that the microbial community structure and diversity in the anaerobic digester could be affected by inoculation effect with influent sewage sludge. Nevertheless, distinct microbial communities were identified as the dominant microbial communities in the anaerobic digester. Twelve genera were identified as abundant bacterial communities, which included several groups of syntrophic bacteria communities, such as Candidatus Cloacimonas, Cloacimonadaceae W5, Smithella, which are (potential) syntrophic-propionate-oxidizing bacteria and Mesotoga and Thermovigra, which are (potential) syntrophic-acetate-oxidizing bacteria. Lentimicrobium, the most abundant genus in the anaerobic digester, may contribute to the decomposition of carbohydrates and the production of volatile fatty acids during the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge. Of the methanogens identified, Methanollinea, Candidatus Methanofastidiosum, Methanospirillum, and Methanoculleus were the dominant hydrogenotrophic methanogens, and Methanosaeta was the dominant aceticlastic methanogens. The findings may be used as a reference for developing microbial indicators to evaluate the process stability and process efficiency of the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge.

혐기성 소화 슬러지 탈리여액을 대상으로 마그네슘 공급원이 인산암모늄마그네슘(MAP) 결정화에 의한 인산염 회수에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 회분식 실험을 실시하였다. 마그네슘 공급원으로 염화마그네슘, 수산화마그네슘 그리고 산화마그네슘을 사용하여 다양한 pH (7.5, 8.0 및 8.5) 조건 및 Mg/P 몰 비율(1.0, 1.5, 2.0 및 2.5)에서 인산염 회수를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 마그네슘 공급원과 관계없이 pH 조건과 Mg/P 몰 비율이 높을수록 인산염 회수율이 증가하였다. pH가 가장 낮은 7.5의 조건에서는 Mg/P 몰 비율이 증가할수록 인산염 회수율이 증가하였는데 산화마그네슘, 수산화마그네슘, 염화마그네슘의 순으로 높았다. 그러나 pH가 가장 높은 8.5의 조건에서는 Mg/P 몰 비율과 관계없이 모든 마그네슘 공급원에서 90% 이상의 높은 인 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 낮은 pH 조건에서도 높은 인산염 회수율을 얻을 수 있었던 수산화마그네슘과 산화마그네슘이 경제적인 측면뿐만 아니라 효율적인 측면에서도 염화마그네슘을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
