The effect of alkaline pre-treatment on the solubilization of waste activated sludge(WAS) was investigated, and the biodegradability of WAS, pretreated WAS, [PWAS], food waste and two types of mixture were estimated by biochemical methane potential [BMP] test at $35^{\circ}C$. The biodegradability of PWAS and mixture waste were significantly improved due to the effect of alkaline hydrolysis of WAS. An alkaline pre-treatment was identified to be one of the useful pre-treatment for improving biodegradability of WAS and mixture waste. In high-rate anaerobic co-digestion system coordinate with an alkaline pre-treatment in process, the digesters were operated at the HRT of 5, 7, 10 and 13 days with a mixture of FW $50\%\;and\;PWAS\;50\%,\;$In term of $CH_4$ content, VS removal and specific methane production [SMP] which are the parameters in the performance of digester, the optimum operating condition was found to be a HRT of 7 days and a OLR of 4.20g/L-day with the highest SMP of 0.340 L $CH_4/g$ VS.

Landfill waste decomposition generates a dark effluent named, leachate which is characterized by high organic matter content. To minimize these polluting effects, it becomes necessary to develop an effective landfill leachate treatment process. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of an innovative approach based on air stripping, anaerobic digestion (AD) and aerobic activated sludge treatment. A reduction of 80% of ammonia and an increase of carbon to nitrogen ratio to 25 were obtained, which is a suitable ratio for AD. This latter AD was performed in fixed bed reactor with progressive loading rate that reached 2 and 3.2 g COD/L/d for the raw and diluted leachate (1:2), respectively. The anaerobic treatment led to significant removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biogas production, especially for the diluted leachate. The COD removal was of 78% for the raw leachate and a biogas production of 4 L/d with 70% methane content. The use of the diluted leachate led to 81% of COD removal and 7 L/d biogas with 75% methane content. It allowed a removal of 77% COD and more than 97% of the organic compounds present in the initial leachate sample.

This study evaluated the performance of a thermophilic two-phase anaerobic digestion (TTPAD) coupled with membrane process treating garbage leachate. The pilot-scale treatment system is consisted of thermophilic acidogenic reactor (TAR) and thermophilic methanogenic reactor (TMR) coupled with an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane unit. The hydraulic retention time of TAR and TMR were 4 and 20 days, respectively. Effluent TCOD and SCOD of the TTPAD were $25\;{\pm}\;6\;and\;12\;{\pm}\;3$ g/L, respectively, and the corresponding TCOD and SCOD removal efficiencies were 77% and 81%, respectively. Propionate was major acids as 75% in the effluent. Scum formation was not observed in TTPAD, which might be resulted from complete lipid degradation. However, TTPAD was appeared to be sensitive to free ammonia toxicity. The UF membrane was operated with constant pressure filtration at average TMP 1.3 atm. Permeate flux had a range of 15-30 $L/m^2/hr$. With UF membrane, TCOD removal increased from 77% to 93%, and this SS free effluent would be beneficial to subsequent processes such as ammonia stripping.

The overall performance of BNR-MBR, so-called Anoxic-Anaerobic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor ($A^3$-MBR), developed for nutrient removal was studied to determine the efficiencies and mechanisms under different solid retention time (SRT). The reactor was fed by synthetic high-rise building wastewater with a COD:N:P ratio of 100:10:2.5. The results showed that TKN, TN and phosphorus removal by the system was higher than 95%, 93% and 80%, respectively. Nitrogen removal in the system was related to the simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) reaction which removed all nitrogen forms in aerobic condition. SND reaction in the system occurred because of the large floc size formation. Phosphorus removal in the system related to the high phosphorus content in bacterial cells and the little effects of nitrate nitrogen on phosphorus release in the anaerobic condition. Therefore, high quality of treated effluent could be achieved with the $A^3$-MBR system for various water reuse purposes.

The anaerobic digester supernatant (ADS) with high $NH_4-N$ concentration often results in a $NH_4-N$ overloading to the mainstream process of municipal wastewater treatment plant (MWTP). The nitrogen removal from the ADS is therefore important in order to achieve a stable mainstream process performance as well as to prevent $NH_4-N$ overloading due to ADS. Recently because of several advantages compared to the full nitrification, many works have shown interests in controlling the build-up of $NO_2-N$ in nitritation processes. The application of nitritation could save the aeration power compared to the full nitrification processes. In addition, the denitrification of $NO_2-N$ could reduce organic carbon requirements compared to the $NO_3-N$ denitrification. The purpose of this research was to find out the characteristics of the ADS nitritation and $NO_2-N$ accumulating factors from the laboratory reactor study. As a result based on the long-term laboratory experiment, it can be concluded that the degree of nitritation was closely related with the availability of alkalinity, free ammonia (FA), solid retention time (SRT) and solid concentration in the nitritation reactor.

The solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD) has promoted the development and application for biogas production from biomass which operate a high solid content feedstock, as higher than 15% of total solids. However, the digested byproduct of SS-AD can be used as a fertilizer or as solid fuel, but it has serious problems: high moisture content and poor dewaterability. The organic residue from SS-AD has to be improved to address these problems and to make it a useful alternative energy source. Hydrothermal carbonization was investigated for conversion of the organic residue from the SS-AD of livestock waste to solid fuels. The effects of hydrothermal carbonization were evaluated by varying the reaction temperatures within the range of $180-240^{\circ}C$. Hydrothermal carbonization increased the calorific value through the reduction of the hydrogen and oxygen contents of the solid fuel, in addition to its drying performance. Therefore, after the hydrothermal carbonization, the H/C and O/C atomic ratios decreased through the chemical conversion. Thermogravimatric analysis provided the changed combustion characteristics due to the improvement of the fuel properties. As a result, the hydrothermal carbonization process can be said to be an advantageous technology in terms of improving the properties of organic waste as a solid-recovered fuel product.

본 연구에서는 상향류 혐기성 블랭킷 반응조를 이용한 침출수 처리시 입상활성탄과 입상슬러지의 첨가가 반응조의 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. Control 반응조의 경우 식종물질로 혐기성 소화슬러지를 이용하였으며 GAC 반응조와 Granule 반응조의 경우 Control 반응조와 동일 방식으로 식종하였으며 단지 GAC와 입상슬러지를 소량 첨가하였다. Granule 반응조가 초기 운전기간 동안 가장 짧은 순응기간을 보였으며 GAC 반응조의 경우에도 운전초기에 만족할 만한 성능을 보였다. 그러나 활성탄의 흡착능이 소모됨에 따라 유출수 COD 농도가 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 반응조가 안정화된 후 GAC 반응조가 다른 반응조에 비해 약간 우수한 결과를 보였으며 모든 반응조의 COD 제거율은 수리학적 체류시간 1일에서 90% 이상을 나타내었다. 특히 GAC 반응조의 경우 COD 제거율의 변화 없이 유기물 부하 $4.0{\sim}8.2kg\;COD/m^3.d$에서 95%를 유지하였다. 소량의 입상슬러지 첨가에 의해 초기 운전기간을 단축시킬 수 있었으며 처리효율은 GAC 첨가에 의해 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

중화하지 않은 주정폐수를 처리할 때 상향류식 혐기성반응조에 전극을 배치한 생물전기화학반응조의 성능을 UASB 공정과 비교하였다. UASB 공정은 유기물부하율 4.0 g COD/L.d 이하에서 pH, VFA 및 알카리도 등에 있어서 안정한 상태를 유지하였지만, 4.0 g COD/L.d 이상의 유기물부하율에서는 불안정하였다. 그러나, 생물전기화학 반응조는 UASB 반응조에 비하여 유기물부하율 배가시 상태변수들의 변동폭이 작았으며, 빠르게 정상상태로 회복하였다. 생물전기화학 반응조는 4.0-8.0g COD/L.d의 높은 유기물부하율에서 상태변수들이 UASB 반응조에 비하여 안정하였으며, 유기물부하율 8.0 g COD/L.d에서 비메탄발생율(2,076mL $CH_4/L.d$), 바이오가스의 메탄함량(66.8%) 그리고 COD 제거율(82.3%) 등의 측면에서 UASB 반응조보다 우수하였다. 생물전기화학 반응조의 메탄수율은 유기물부하율 4.0 g COD/L.d에서 약 407mL/g $COD_r$로 최대값을 보였으며, 이 값은 UASB의 282mL/g $COD_r$보다 크게 높았다. 중화하지 않은 산성 주정폐수를 처리하는 생물전기화학 반응조의 전극반응에서 율속단계는 산화전극반응이었으며, 전극반응은 높은 유기물부하율에서 pH에 의해서 크게 영향을 받았다. 생물전기화학 반응조는 유기물부하율 4.0 g COD/L.d에서 99.5%의 최대에너지효율을 보였다. 중화하지 않은 산성 주정폐수를 처리하는 생물전기화학 반응조는 UASB 공정보다 진보된 고율 혐기성 기술이 될 수 있다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of occlusal stability to identify action mechanisms of mouthguards, known to have a modulatory effect on limb muscle function. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This study included 20 male subjects to perform the isokinetic muscle tests and the Wingate anaerobic power test on both knee joints under five closed-mouth conditions: without or with 4 types of mouthguards with thickness of 2 mm based on premolar area: (1) full-coverage, (2) anterior partial-coverage, (3) right posterior partial-coverage, and (4) left posterior partial-coverage. The obtained results were subjected to One-way ANOVA with repeated measures, followed by post hoc test of the contrast method (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. There was no significant difference between the closed position with and without a full-coverage mouthguard in all variables. However, significant differences were observed between with and without a partial-coverage mouthguard in muscular endurance during extension of the left knee, muscular power and endurance during flexion of the right knee. Additionally, significant differences were found between occlusal states with full- and partial-coverage mouthguards in muscular power and endurance during extension of the left knee. CONCLUSION. These findings indicate the elevation of vertical dimension by 2 mm or the inducement of occlusal stability had little effect on isokinetic muscle strength and anaerobic performance, while uneven distribution of occlusal force might have some positive effects.

본 연구에서는 음폐수를 이용 낮은 유기물 부하율에서 소화조 내부 pH 조절 유무에 따른 소화조 운전의 바이오가스 발생량 및 미생물 군집도 변화에 대한 비교 분석했다. 그 결과, 내부 pH를 조절하지 않은 반응조는 pH, Free ammonia, Volatile fatty acid의 증가에 의한 반응조 안정성이 떨어짐에도 불구하고 내부 pH 조절 반응조와 비슷한 바이오가스 전환율을 보였다. 이는 미생물 군집도 분석 결과에 따르면 외부환경에 대한 내성이 강한 Methanosarcina sp.의 우점에 의해 반응조의 안정성을 유지할 수 있었던 것으로 나타났다.
