In this study, biological treatment process of MWWT(Municipal wet-waste Treatment) has been developed through a moduling of the containerized closed ATAD(Auto thermal aerobic digestion) system & closed vertical dynamic acerator, which were used for food waste and cattle manure, respectively. Though biological process has several advantages such as low concentrations of heavy metals and salts, proper and stable C/N ratio and constant reaction rate against the process treating two wastes separately, it has a obstacles of salt concentration and much usage of bulking agent such as wood chip. After rapid oxidation in the boxed tower reactor for 5 days, the content of sewage sludge would be reduced 65% on around, might be mixed with the food waste that had been treated in the static closed reactor during 6 days and put in the secondary static reactor for curing. During composting process, the odor contained in the gas generated from the reactor was removed by passing it through a biofilter as well as the leachate was treated in the wastewater treatment facility. Consequently, it seemed to be possible to compost sewage sludge at mild and stable operating condition and at low cost through the biological ATAD process resulting in the production of organic compost satisfying the specifications regulated by itself.

Recently, green processes that can be directly used in an energy-efficient and electrified society to achieve carbon neutrality are attracting attention. Existing heat and pressure-based desalination technologies that consume tremendous amounts of energy are no exception, and the growth of next-generation electrochemical-based desalination technologies is remarkable. One of the most representative electrochemical desalination technologies is electrochemical ion separation (EIONS) technology, which includes capacitive desalination (CDI) and battery desalination (BD) technology. In the research field of EIONS, various system applications have been developed to improve system performance, such as capacity and cyclability. However, it is very difficult to understand the meaning and novelty of these applications immediately because there are only a few papers that summarize the research background for domestic readers. Therefore, in this review paper, we aim to describe the technological advances and individual characteristics of each system in clear and specific detail about the latest EIONS research. The driving principle, research background, and strengths and weaknesses of each EIONS system are explained in order. In addition, this paper concluded by suggesting the future development and research direction of EIONS. Researchers who are just beginning out in EIONS research can also benefit from this study because it will help them understand the research trend.
