This study was carried out to assess and analyze the overall problems of the facilities in recycling and treating of foodwaste on the basis of the unit operation facilities. It proposes effective alternatives for the high profitable management that can meet the regulation of the facilities. The study is composed of several parts including a collection of academic reports, field studies regarding the facilities operated by local government and the private sector, the analysis on odor samples from compost facilities and processing facilities for animal feed from foodwaste. Twenty facilities were surveyed on the field to find out the existing problems and to compare between facilities. Several facilities didn't meet the governmental regulation on some processes, especially the stages of input, storage, odor control and the qualities of final products under the unit equipment operation. The analysis on the odors from the phases of input, shredding and fermentation of a compost facility and processing facilities for feed, the odors from shredding equipments were higher in concentration than the others. The Major odors from the composting facility contained hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), methyl mercaptan ($CH_3{SH}$), Dimethyl sulfide ($(CH_3)_2S$) and Ammonia ($NH_3$) and the major odors from the animal feed facility contained methyl mercaptan ($CH_3{SH}$), Trimethylamine ($(CH_3)_3N$) and Acetaldehyde ($CH_3CHO$).

Recently, people interest in environmental pollution and attempt to improve the indoor air quality contaminated with various pollutants since it is very important to construct healthy and comfortable living environment. In the current study, we used the technology that has first received the certification of green technology for improving the removal efficiency of malodor causing substances. This green technology is a new technology to increase the reactivity of the odorous substances with OH radicals for oxidation reaction by using an infrared lamp in the existing air purification system. Comparing the efficiency of the green technology with the infrared lamp to that of the existing technology of air cleaner, there was a difference in the decomposition efficiency depending on the initial concentrations and speciation of the odorous substances. The removal efficiencies of contaminants were enhanced by 16.9 and 13.2% at low and high concentrations, respectively.

Sulfur compounds which are well-known odor-active compounds in industrial area have very low detection threshold values. Trace amounts of volatile sulfur compounds in enviroment air around several odor sources were concentrated in liquid argon bath and determined by gas chromatograph with flame photometric detector (FPD) which exhibits very good selectivity and sensitivity. 25% ${\beta}$,${\beta}$-Oxydipropionitrile on 60/80 Chromosorb W was used as adsorbent for the preconcentration of sulfur compounds in air sample and also as packing material for a packed glass column. Concentration volume of air sample was different from place to place in the range of 0.1~3.0L. Atmospheric concentrations of sulfur compounds in air of residential districts and boundaries of business establishments, and also those in the exhausted gases of emission points such as a sewage disposal plant in industrial area were measured.

This study investigated the effect of slurry additives on reducing the concentration of odorous compounds. Slurry treatments included control, horseradish, spent mushroom, and almond hull (n = 4 each group). Odorous compounds including volatile organic compounds (VOCs phenols and indoles) and volatile fatty acids (VFAs short chain FA, SCFA, and branched chain FA, BCFA) were analyzed. Pigs of 85~120 kg body weight were fed diets formulated to meet the Korean Feeding Standard (2012) and their excretion was sampled from slurry pits. VOCs decreased (p<0.05) in horseradish, spent mushroom, and almond hull, compared to the control. SCFA was lower (p<0.05) in the horseradish group and BCFA was lower (p<0.05) in all three treatment groups compared to the control. Taken together, the tested additives are effective in reducing odorous compounds in pig slurry, indicating that the use of spent mushroom and almond hull can not only recycle the agri-byproduct but also reduce the impact of odors on surrounding communities.

알데히드류는 실내 가정의 건축물 단열재, 실내가구의 칠, 접착제, 하드보드, 악취 제거제, 제지 등 생활 용품에서 공업용품에 이르기까지 광범위하게 사용되며, 그 사용량도 증가되고 있다. 특히, formaldehyde는 urea-와 Phenol-formaldehyde 수지를 합성하는 주요 화합물질이다. 알데히드류 중 포름알데히드는 1ppm 또는 그 이하의 농도로 노출될 경우, 눈, 코, 목의 자극을 유발하고, 농도에 따라서 피부 알레르기, 두통, 메스꺼움, 흥부 압박감, 기관지염, 폐염 및 폐부종을 야기하며, 동물 실험결과, 미국 환경보호처에서는 인체 발암 가능성 물질로 분류하고 있다(US EPA, 1999).

Sampling bag은 비교적 저렴한 가격으로 쉽게 구할 수 있어 VOC 및 악취물질을 분석할 때 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 저농도의 분석에서는 흡착으로 인한 농도 변화가 일어날 수 있어 분석결과에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 그러나, bag내부에서의 안정도에 대한 충분한 조사가 이루어져 있지 않아 VOC 화합물이 얼마나 bag에서 안정성의 문제가 있는지에 대한 정량적인 이해가 매우 부족한 실정이다. (중략)

In this study, to investigate the feasibility of malodorous substance and organic matter removal by digest sludge in sewage treatment plants, ammonia, methyl mercaptan(MMC), and hydrogen sulfide($H_2S$) in a reactor submerged with BIO-CLOD(BIO-CLOD) and a reactor not submerged with BIO-CLOD(Non BIO-CLOD) were measured at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after the submergence of BIO-CLOD. Whereas the reactor in which BIO-CLOD was submerged showed an ammonia removal rate of 48% and high $H_2S$ and MMC removal rates exceeding 98% in 24 hours, the reactor in which BIO-CLOD was not submerged showed an ammonia removal rate of 45%, an $H_2S$ removal rate of 71%, and an MMC removal rate of 84% in 24 hours indicating the possibility of removal of malodor using BIO-CLOD. A nitrification was shown in which ammonia concentrations decreased over time while nitrate nitrogen concentrations increased and sulfur based malodor components were oxidation decomposed indicating that BIO-CLOD had effects to increase sulfate concentrations in the solution and that sulfate concentration increases and atmospheric $H_2S$ removal rates were correlated with each other. With regard to decreases in organic matter in reactor effluents, BIO-CLOD did not affect in a short period of time and when reactors were operated with HRT 12 hours and HRT 24 hours, HRT 12 hours was considered desirable in terms of economy.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) occur in indoor and outdoor industrial and urban areas and cause environmental problems. Malodorous VOCs, along with aesthetic discomfort, can have a serious effect on the human body. Compared with the existing method of reducing malodorous VOCs, a wet scrubbing method using an electrolytic oxidant has the advantage of reducing pollutants and regenerating oxidants. This study investigated the optimal conditions for producing OCl^-, a chlorine-oxidant. Experiments were conducted by changing the type of anode and cathode electrode, the type of electrolyte, the concentration of electrolytes, and the current density. With Ti/IrO₂ as the anode electrode and Ti as the cathode electrode, OClproduction was highest and most stable. Although OCl^- production was similar with the use of KCl or NaCl, NaCl is preferable because it is cheap and easy to obtain. The effect of NaCl concentration and current density was examined, and the OCl^- production rate and concentration were highest at 0.75 M NaCl and 0.03 A cm^-2. However, considering the cost of electric power, OCl^- production under the conditions of 1.00 M NaCl and 0.01 A cm^-2 was most effective among the conditions examined. It is desirable to produce OCl^- by adjusting the current density in accordance with the concentration and characteristics of pollutants.
