본 연구는 생물학적 질소제거공정에서 국내 하수의 저C/N비로 인한 총질소 저하현상을 최소화 하기위한 방안으로 SBR 공정에서 유입수 주입방식의 변화를 포함한 세가지 운전모드에 대한 질소제거 효율을 평가하였다. 검토된 운전방식은 CO-SBR, IA-SBR, SF-SBR이며 lab-scale운전과 pilot-scale($2\;m^3/day$) 운전을 통해 검증하였다. 또한 질소제거를 위한 SBR공정에서 유입수량과 반응조의 비율과 유입수 간헐 주입비를 고려할 때 질소제거효율을 효과적으로 예측할 수 있는 방정식을 개발하여 질소제거율을 실제 운전결과와 비교 검토하였다. 유입수 주입방식의 변화가 탈질효율에 미치는 영향은 운전결과 SF-SBR이 90% 탈질율로서 가장 높은 탈질율을 나타냈고 IA-SBR이 61% 그리고 CO-SBR이 19%를 나타내었다. 또한 비 포기 유입시간의 길이가 슬러지 플럭에 미치는 영향은 비 포기 유입시간이 1시간 및 2시간의 경우의 플록의 밀도가 3시간의 경우보다 높아졌고 양호한 침강성을 나타냈으며 플록의 입도분포는 1시간 및 2시간의 경우가 $100{\sim}300\;{\mu}m$이고 3시간의 경우 $200{\sim}400\;{\mu}m$를 나타내었다.

An attempt was made to enhance anaerobic treatment efficiency by adopting the anaerobic sequencing batch reactor(ASBR) process at a thermophilic temperature. Operational characteristics of the ASBR process were studied using laboratory scale reactors and concentrated organic wastewater composed of soluble starch and essential nutrients. Effects of fill to react ratio (F/R) were examined in the Phase I experiment, where the equivalent hydraulic retention time(HRT) was maintained at 5 days with the influent COD of 10g/L. A continuous stirred tank reactor(CSTR) was operated in parallel as a reference. Treatment efficiency was higher for the ASBRs because of continuous accumulation of volatile suspended solids(VSS) compared to the CSTR. However, the rate of gas production and organic removal per unit VSS in the ASBRs was much lower than the CSTR. This was caused by reduced methane fermentation due to accumulation of volatile acids(VA), especially for the case of low F/R, during the fill period. When the F/R was high, maximum VA was low and the VA decreased in short period. Consequently, more stable operation was possible with higher F/R. Effects of hydraulic loading rate on the efficiency was studied in the Phase II experiment, where the organic loading rate was elevated to 3333mg/L-d with the F/R of 0.12. Reduction of organic removal along with rapid increase of VA was observed and the stability of reaction was seriously impaired, when the influent COD was doubled. However, operation of the ASBR was quite stable, when the hydraulic loading rate was doubled and a cycle time was adjusted to 12 hour. It is essential to avoid rapid accumulation of VA during the fill period in order to maintain operational stability of the ASBR.

In order to improve applicability of a microbial fuel cell the laboratory-scaled study has been performed by adopting an air-cathode MFC system with high concentrated anaerobic slugies in this study. The concentrations of microbes are grouped into three types, Type A (TS 1.7%), Type B (TS 1.1%) and Type C (TS 0.51%). The open circuit voltage $(V_{oc})$ characteristics showed that the medium microbes concentration of 1.10% (Type B) kept a constant voltage of 1.0 V for 150 hours, which showed the longest time among three types (Type A and Type C). The discharge charge curves for a closed circuit with $500 \Omega$ also showed that Type B generated a stable discharge voltage of 0.8 V for a longer time as in the open circuit voltage case. This could be explained by the relatively large amount of the attached microbes. Under the $V_{oc}$condition the COD removal efficiency of Type B was found to be low for a long time, but those of Type A and C were found to be high for a short period of time. Therefore, the suspended microbes could decrease the coulombic efficiency. It was concluded that the high $V_{oc}$ was caused by low COD and the $V_{oc}$ became low after the COD removal. The COD reduction resulted in an unstable and low working voltage. From the polarization characteristics Type A was found to show the highest power density of $193\;mW/m^2$ with a fill factor of 0.127 due to the relatively high remaining COD even after the MFC reaction.
