Microalgae is becoming a vital component for a circular economy and ultimately for sustainable development. Herein, recent developments in different outcomes of microalgae for wastewater treatment and biorefinery were reviewed. From its primary function as a third-generation resource of biofuel, the usage of microalgae has been diversified as an integral element for the CO₂ sequestration and production of economically valuable products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, animal feeds, biofertilizer, biochar, etc.). Principles and recent challenges for each microalgae application were presented to suggest a motivation for future research and the direction of development. The integration of microalgae within the concept of the circular economy was also discussed with various routes of microalgae-based biorefinery.

Modern society has moved from a phosphorus recycling loop, where animal manure and human wastes were spread on farming land to recycle nutrients, to a once-through system, where phosphates are extracted from mined, non-renewable phosphate rock and end up either in landfill(sewage sludge, incinerator ash) or in surface waters. In this research, crystallization of nitrogen and phosphate with natural sources of $Mg^{2+}$ in synthetic water was tested. The operational parameters of pH, mixing time, and the magnesium molar ratio were investigated to find optimal conditions of the MAP precipitation using synthetic wastewater. The removal efficiency of phosphate increased with pH up to 11. By MAP precipitaiton of the synthetic waste water, 94% of the phosphate were eliminated at pH 11. It was found that at least 10 minutes mixing time was required and 20 minutes mixing time was recommended for efficient phosphate removal. High efficiency removal of phosphate was possible when the magnesium molar ratio was 1.0~2.0. The comparative study of different magnesium sources showed that coagulants (PAC) was the more efficient sources than only magnesium. The result showed that 97% of phosphate removal. In conclusion, coagulants (PAC) induced crystallization of struvite and hydroxyapatite was shown to be a technically viable process that could prove cost effective for removing phosphate in wastewater.

By struvite and hydroxyapatite crystallization, was high concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater simultaneously. Particularly, removal of nitrogen and phosphate for crystallization have been applied to landfill leachates and animal wastewater. The purpose of this study is to decide the optimum struvite crystallization factors, sequence of $Mg^{2+}$ addition, pH control and the molar ratio of $Mg^{2+}$ over $PO_4^{3-}$. In conclusion, dosage of the magnesium followed by pH control formed magnesium hydroxide, so pH was decreased. Therefore, pH adjustment should followed by after magnesium dosage and then pH should be adjusted to 11. Over pH 10, it was not good for struvite crystallization efficiency by side reaction. Following of the $Mg^{2+}$ and the $PO_4^{3-}$ are dosed excessively, the removal efficiency of the $NH_4^+$ increased. A molar ratio of $Mg^{2+}:NH_4^+:PO_4^{3-}$, 1.3:1:1.3 was the most on effective for $NH_4^+$ removal at pH 9.5. But for the perfect removal $NH_4^+$, it is thought to be that molar ratio should be 2:1:2.

This study was conducted to survey and inspect the currently operating anaerobic digestion facilities for animal manure. Recently, the number of anaerobic digestion facility for livestock manure is on the rise thanks to growing interest in developing alternative energy. A anaerobic digestion system has been constructed in large scale farms or animal manure public resource center. Currently, most animal manure anaerobic digestion facilities in operation are producing biogas from the pig slurry which contains 97% water. Methane gas can be used to operate a engine generator which then produces electricity. Anaerobic digestate, a by-product of digestion, is mostly utilized as a liquid fertilizer after curing processing. Only in a few cases, it can be discharged after wastewater treatment process. The problem of anaerobic digestate treatment is the imbalance of C/N ratio. The content of N was too high to keep it into normal process.

축산농가가 인근의 하천수질에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 충주호 주변 3곳을 선정하여 계절별로 지천의 수질을 조사하였다. 여름철에 T-N이 상류와 하류에서 각각 최소 0.005에서 최대 5.005 ppm이 조사되었고, 인산성 인이 S2 지점의 하류에서 0.5 ppm 검출되었다. COD는 8에서 20 ppm의 범위를 나타내었다. 가을철에 총 질소는 3측정지점을 통털어 상류지점에서 최저 0.005 ppm, 하류지점에서 최고 5.005 ppm을 나타내었으며, 역시 S2 지점의 하류에서 인산성 인이 0.5 ppm을 나타내었다. COD는 3 ppm에서 6 ppm의 범위를 나타내어 여름철보다 양호하였다. 겨울철에는 총 질소가 상류지점에서 최저치 0.053 ppm을 하류지점에서 최대치 0.51 ppm을 나타내었으며, 인산성 인은 S2 지점의 하류에서만 0.5 ppm을 나타내었고, COD는 가을철과 비슷하게 3 ppm에서 6 ppm을 나타내었다. 충주호 지천의 수질분석에서 여름철보다는 가을, 겨울철로 접어들면서 수질이 양호해지는 것으로 나타났으며, 전반적으로 축산농가에서 유출되는 오수가 지천에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 축산폐수내에 고농도로 함유되어 있는 질소와 인을 재생하기 위한 공정으로서의 struvite 결정화 방법의 운전인자를 파악하고 폐수처리 측면에서 효율적인 struvite법과 전기분해법과의 연계공정을 도출하고자 하였다. 유효용적인 2L인 Struvite 반응조를 이용하여 주입원의 종류, pH, 교반과 폭기 등에 따른 암모니아와 인의 결정화 특성을 파악하였으며, 효율적인 전기분해법과의 연계방법을 찾고자 6가지 서로 다른 방법에서의 NH$_4$-N과 PO$_4$$^{3-}$의 제거특성을 분석하였다. 시험결과 struvite 형성을 위한 주입원으로는 CaCO$_3$나 CaCl$_2$ 보다는 MgSO$_4$ 혹은 MgCl$_2$을 사용하는 것이 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. 공기주입과 교반이 struvite 결정화 반응에 미치는 영향을 파악한 시험에서는 포기의 경우 pH가 8.5이상으로 상승하면서 인 제거효율이 90%에 도달하는데 1시간이 걸린 반면 교반의 경우에는 14시간이 걸리는 것으로 나타나 포기가 교반보다 빠른 pH 상승효과를 가져오면서 struvite 결정화 반응을 촉진함을 알 수 있었다. 포기조건에서의 struvite 결정화는 유입폐수의 pH에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났는데 유입폐수의 pH가 5수준일 때는 아무런 결정화가 이루어지지 않았으며 pH 6, 7, 9 에서는 struvite 결정화가 활발하여 각각 3시간, 2시간, 10분만에 90%의 PO$_4$$^{3-}$가 struvite 반응으로 제거되었다. 그러나 pH 10 이상에서는 과량의 거품발생으로 인한 운전의 어려움이 목격되었으며 pH 11에서는 struvite 결정화 반응이 둔화되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과와 축산폐수의 pH의 범위가 7~9 수준임을 감안할 때 축산폐수의 경우에는 아무런 pH 조절제를 사용하지 않고도 포기만으로도 효율적인 결정화 반응 유도가 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 전기분해법을 struvite 반응과 연계하여 폐수내 인과 질소 제거효율을 높이기 위해서는 struvite 결정화 반응과 전기분해를 모두 포기 조건에서 수행하면서 struvite 반응 후에 상등액을 전기분해 하는 것이 시험된 공정 중 가장 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 공정에서의 인과 암모니아성 질소의 제거 효율은 각각 98%와 86%이었으며 색도 제거효율은 92.4%이었다.

The productivities of Chlorella ovalis and Dunaliella parva were influenced by the rates of medium compositions obtained from the fermented animal wastewater (BM: bacteria mineral water) including a natural substitute chelator for EDTA (etylenediaminetetraacetic acid). The most favorable medium was -E+50 adding 50% BM in f/2 medium instead of EDTA, a chemical chelator, which increased more 19-fold of cell density in C. ovalis and 7-fold in D. parva than cells cultured on f/2 medium as well as the enhancements of chlorophyll a (f/2-E: 0.26 g L–1, -E+50: 1.5 g L–1 in C. ovalis; f/2-E: 2.7 g L–1, -E+50: 15 g L–1 in D. parva) and the increase of maximal PSII quantum yields. These results were verified that the BM could play an important part as a natural chelator substituted for EDTA. In the fields of biotechnology, food organisms in fishery and eco-industries of CO2 sequestration in air and nutrient removal in water, the natural chelator of BM could be applied to enhance the biomass of the other microalgae.

Functional and nutritional soluble proteins can be recovered from surimi (and surimi-like material) processing wastewater, reducing environmental problems and the cost of an irresponsible waste disposal. Recovered proteins may be added back at a low percentage to surimi products. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the addition of soluble recovered proteins (RP), obtained from mechanically separated chicken meat surimi-like material (MSCM-SLM) processing wastewater by acidic pH-shifting, on the composition and texture of RP-MSCM-SLM, with RP contents of 0, 10, 20 and 30% (w/w) in the mixture. For that, proximate composition and gel properties were evaluated. The fat content of the MSCM-SLM was significantly reduced to 11.98% and protein increased to 83.64% (dry basis) after three washing cycles. The addition of 30% RP in the MSCM-SLM significantly augmented the protein content to 93.45% and reduced fat content from to 2.78%. On the other hand, the addition of RP was responsible for a drastic decrease in texture parameters, reaching 252.36 g, 185.23 g.cm, and 6.97 N for breaking force, gel strength and cutting strength, respectively, when 30% of RP was included in the MSCM-SLM. It was concluded that the obtained intermediary product (RP-MSCM-SLM) is a good option to applications in processed meat products where high texture parameters are dispensable, e.g., emulsified inlaid frankfurter-type sausages, but high protein content and low fat content desired.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of odor abatement by using two different ventilation-biofilter systems with recycled stablized swine wastewater. Methods: The performance of odor removal efficiency was evaluated using two different ventilation-biofilter-recycled wastewater arrangements. A recirculating air-flow ventilation system connected to a vertical biofilter (M1) and a plug-flow ventilation system connected to a horizontal biofilter (M2) were installed. Water dripping over the surface of the biofilter was recycled at a flow rate of 0.83 L/h in summer and 0.58 L/h in winter to reduce odorous compounds and particulate matter (PM). The experiments were performed for 64 days with M1 and M2 to investigate how these two ventilation-biofilter systems influenced the reduction of odor compounds in the model houses. Odorous compounds, NH₃ and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were analyzed, and microclimatic variables such as temperature, humidity, and PM were monitored. Results: Ammonia concentration inside M1 was about 41% higher on average than that in M2. PM and total suspended particles (TSPs) inside M1 were about 62.2% and 69.9%, respectively, higher than those in M2. TSPs in the model house were positively correlated with the concentration of NH₃ and VOCs. Conclusion: M2 emitted lower concentration of odorous compounds than M1. Moreover, M2 could maintain the optimum temperature condition for a swine house during the cooler season. The plug-flow ventilation-horizontal biofilter system could be used for pig houses to minimize air pollution produced by swine farming activities and maintain optimum microclimate conditions for pigs.
