Since 2005, food waste has been separately collected and recycled to animal feed or aerobic compost in South Korea. However, the conventional recycling methods discharge process wastewater, which contain pollutant equivalent to more than 50% of food waste. Therefore, anaerobic digestion is considered as an alternative recycling method of food waste to reduce pollutant and recover renewable energy. Recent studies showed that hydrogen can be produced at acidogenic stage in two-stage anaerobic digestion. In this study, the authors investigated the effects of pretreatment time and pH low set value on continuous mesophilic hydrogen fermentation of food waste. Food waste was successfully converted to $H_2$ when heat-treated at $70^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, which was milder than previous studies using pH 12 for 1 day or $90^{\circ}C$. Organic acid production dropped operational pH below 5.0 and caused a metabolic shift from $H_2/butyrate$ fermentation to lactate fermentation. Therefore, alkaline addition for operational pH at or over 5.0 was necessary. At pH 5.3, the result showed that the maximum hydrogen productivity and yield of 1.32 $m^3/m^3$.d and 0.71 mol/mol $carbohydrate_{added}$. Hydrogen production from food waste would be an effective technology for resource recovery as well as waste treatment.

In spite of low energy requirement, and operation and construction cost, biofilters with soil beds have not been operated efficiently. Because of excess moisture in winter and rainy periods, saturated pores in the bed prevent passage and sorption of odorous compounds. Sometimes this results in septic conditions that release previously sorbed and oxidized sulfur. Therefore, an economical and effective alternative needs to be developed. The objectives of this study were to confirm applicability of the granular scrap tires with compost for treating odorous gas as well as to obtain optimum design parameters for proposed system. In lab-scaled test, multiple stage reactors had lower headloss than a single stage reactor and less headloss was occurred for the gas with higher moisture content. For practical purpose, pilot-scaled reactor was operated to remove odor from septic tank, manure and animal wastewater treatment plant and composting machine. According to the results of pilot scaled test, $H_2S$ can be always removed completely and ammonia/amine can be removed excellently when proper moisture content is provided. The results from lab and pilot test showed that granular scrap tire could be replaced with soil as supporting material for biofilter showed excellent drainage because of its ability to reject moisture.

Anaerobic biodegradability(AB), which can be determined with the ultimate methane yield by the decomposition of organic materials, is one of the important parameters for the design and the operation of anaerobic digestion plant. In this study, Biochemical Methane Potential(BMP) test has been carried out to evaluate the methane yield of animal manures, such as pig and cattle slurries, and different forage crops cultivated at the reclaimed tideland, such as maize, sorghum, barley, rye, Italian ryegrass(IRG), rape, rush and sludge produced from slaughterhouse wastewater treatment plant(SWTP). In the ultimate methane yield of animal manure, that of pig slurry(no used a EM) was 407 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$ higher than 242 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$ of cattle slurry. The ultimate methane yield of spike-crop rye was 442.36 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$ the highest among different forage crops, the other showed the value above a methane yield of 300 $mlCH_4/gVS_{fed}$. The forage crop could be used as a good substrate to improve the methane production in anaerobic co-digestion together with animal manure.

Spirulina platensis NIES 39 was grown in effluents from a wastewater treatment plant utilizing activated sludge process at a pig farm to reduce pollutants and to produce feed resources. The addition of 2 g/l NaCl was required for the growth of S. platensis in the effluents with about 100 mg/l ammonia nitrogen concentration. The growth was stimulated by the addition of 2 g/l sodium bicarbonate and 4 mg/l ferrous sulfate. The microorganism grew well at pH 8~11, and the optimum pH for the growth was 10. The algal concentration of 1.1 g/l was attained after 8 days of growth at the optimum condition with the removal of 95% ammonia nitrogen and 34% phosphorus.

돼지분뇨 특성에 따른 기계교반 퇴비화시설의 적정용적 산정을 위하여 돈분 및 톱밥에 함유되어 있는 수분투입량과 발효온도, 유기물 분해율 및 수분감소율 등의 변화를 조사하여 적정 용량을 산정하기 위하여 본시험을 실시하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 발효조내 온도는 발효조내 혼합물 투입 후 4일 이상 경과해야 발효온도가 $70^{\circ}C$ 이상 유지되었으며, 발효조내 투입되는 혼합물(돈분+톱밥)의 수분함량은 평균 72.9%로 추천치보다 높게 조사되었으나, 적정수분함량 조정은 발효조 27m 지점 즉, 투입후 $5{\sim}6$일후에나 적정 수분 함량이 되었다. 2. 투입되는 열량가는 현물상태에서 평균 1,127.3kca/kg이고 질소, 인산 가리성분은 각각 1.0%, 1.1, 및 0.38%로 조사되었으며 OM/N은 26.3로 조사되었으며 완제품의 수분 함량은 평균 65.3%였으나 겨울철과 나머지 계절간에는 유의적인 차이가 나는 것으로 조사되었다(p>0.05). 3. 퇴비화과정 중의 유기물 분해율은 평균 3.53%였으며, 계절별로는 봄철이 3.88%로 가장 높았고, 가을과 여름은 각각 3.47, 3.52%로 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 겨울철에는 3.23%로 봄철에 비하여 약 16.8% 정도 분해율이 낮아 퇴비화기간 동안의 수분감소 량의 경우 유의적인 차이가 나는 것으로 조사되었다(p>0.05). 4. 퇴비화시설의 용적 산정에 사용할 인자를 도출하기 위해 앞서 수행한 시험결과에 의거하여 돼지의 성장단계별 분뇨발생량, 계절별 수분증발량, 유기물 감소율, 용적 중 감소율, 톱밥수분량 및 계절별 수분발생량을 산출하였다. 양돈농가에서 돼지의 사육규모가 2000두를 기준으로 하여 용적을 산정시 슬러리 돈사의 경우 적정 퇴비화 용적은 여름철 $281m^3$, 겨울철 $260m^3$으로 약 7.5%($21m^3$) 차이가 났으며, 돈분뇨 및 세정수 등을 포함한 농가의 경우에는 여름철 $412m^3$, 겨울철 $359m^3$로 계절간에는 약 12.9%($53m^3$)의 차이가 나는 것으로 계산되었다. 5. 따라서 양돈농가에서의 기계교반 퇴비화 시설을 이용하여 돈분뇨를 퇴비화 하는 경우 계절별 수거되는 돈분의 수분 함량과 유기물 분해율 및 수분증발가능량 등을 고려하여 퇴비화 용량을 산정하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.

축산폐수에서 용해인과 암모니아 질소를 제거하기 위하여 마그네슘을 첨가하여 시험을 수행하였다. 자돈사의 축산폐수를 대상으로 실험을 하였을 때 원수의 용해인의 수치가 폭기구에서 $471mg/\ell$, NaOH로 pH를 조정하여 준 구에서 $559mg/\ell$ 이었으며, 각기 $5mg/\ell$와 $4mg/\ell$으로 감소하여 공히 $99\%$의 제거효율을 나타내었다 특히, 실험온도가 $6-8^{\circ}C$를 유지하였는데에도 양호한 효과를 나타내어서 겨울철 낮은 온도에서도 작동이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 암모니아 질소의 제거효율은 폭기구에서 $15\%$, NaOH로 pH를 조절해준 구에서 $18\%$를 나타내었다. pH를 NaOH로 조정해준 구와 폭기를 시켜준 구의 비교에서 폭기만 시켜주어도 pH가 8.4 정도로 되어 pH 조정구와 유사한 제거 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. Struvite 결정체의 관찰에서 직사각형 형태의 결정체와 결정체가 서로 결합한 모양을 볼 수 있었다. 마그네슘과 인을 동시에 주입하여 암모니아 질소의 제거효율을 높이고자 한 실험에서 용해인은 인을 2g 넣은 구에서는 $99\%$로 거의 제거되었으나 4g 넣은 구에서는 절대량으로 보아서는 제거량이 많으나 효율면에서는 $15\~19\%$로 그리 높지 알았다. 암모니아 질소의 제거율도 각각 $18\%,\;15\%$로 앞선 실험의 결과와 유사하였고 향상되지 않아 반응기작에 관한 분석이 더 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Anaerobic decomposition is one of the most common processes in nature and has been extensively used in waste and wastewater treatment for several centuries. New applications and system modifications continue to be adapted making the process either more effective, less expensive, or suited to the particular waste in question and the operation to which it is to be applied. Animal manure is a highly biodegradable organic material and will naturally undergo anaerobic fermentation, resulting in release of noxious odors, such as in manure storage pits. Depending on the presence or absence of oxygen in the manure, biological treatment process may be either aerobic or anaerobic. Under anaerobic conditions, bacteria carry on fermentative metabolisms to break down the complex organic substances into simpler organic acids and then convert them to ultimately formed methane and carbon dioxide. Anaerobic biological systems for animal manure treatment include anaerobic lagoons and anaerobic digesters. Methane and carbon dioxide are the principal end products of controlled anaerobic digestion. These two gases are collectively called biogas. The biogas contains $60\~70\%$ methane and can be used directly as a fuel for heating or electrical power generation. Trace amounts of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide ($100\~300\;ppm$) are always present in the biogas stream. Anaerobic lagoons have found widespread application in the treatment of animal manure because of their low initial costs, ease of operation and convenience of loading by gravity flow from the animal buildings. The main disadvantage is the release of odors from the open surfaces of the lagoons, especially during the spring warm-up or if the lagoons are overloaded. However, if the lagoons are covered and gases are collected, the odor problems can be solved and the methane collected can be used as a fuel. Anaerobic digesters are air-tight, enclosed vessels and are used to digest manure in a well-controlled environment, thus resulting in higher digestion rates and smaller space requirements than anaerobic lagoons. Anaerobic digesters are usually heated and mixed to maximize treatment efficiency and biogas production. The objective of this work was to review a current anaerobic biological treatment of animal manure for effective new technologies in the future.

This study was carried out to compare the filtration effect of anaerobic digestion waste water by compost filtration bed. Three types of filtration systems were set for filtration test following to composition of bedding materials. Two filtration systems were filled with sawdust, rice-hull and wood-chip. And the other was filled with sawdust and rice-hull. Anaerobic digestion waste water was applied evenly on the surface of the filtration bed with spraying nozzle. The concentration of nitrogen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), suspended solids (SS) of anaerobic digestion waste water was decreased by filtration treatment. The total nitrogen content was decreased from 1,313 mg/L to 1,090~1,293 mg/L and BOD concentration was decreased from 529.7 mg/L to 125~162.3 mg/L, respectively. The SS content was decreased from 69~79% by filtration process. In addition, the electrical conductivity (EC) was decreased from 10.22 ds/m to 7.91~8.31 ds/m.

This study was undertaken to establish the biological reaction characteristics of the marine products industry wastewater which contains high concentrations of organic matter and saline. As the S/I is varied from 0.3 to 1.2, the results were follows : the observed ultimate anaerobic biodegradability varied from 72.0 to 88.0%, the first order reaction rate varied from 0.1735 to $0.3420\;day^{-1}$ and the second order reaction rate varied from 0.0132 to $0.0295\;day^{-1}$. When S/I was 0.9, the first order reaction rate had a maximum value, but the variations of the second order reaction rate were less than 1st-order reaction rate. When the operation time exceeded 2 days the gas production rapidly increased. The source of this rapid increase was due to that the activity of the granular sludge used in this study being faster than that of conventional sludge. Under aerobic condition, the characteristics of organic matter were as follows: the marine industry wastewater used in this study contained about 81% of biodegradable matter, and it was divided into readily biodegradable COD(Ss), slowly biodegradable COD(Xs), soluble COD(Si) and inert suspended COD (Xi). The percentages of each COD were 87.3%, 23.9%, 6.4% and 12.4% respectively.

반응물을 연속적으로 내부 순환시키는 생물막 연속회분식모래여과 공정을 고안하고 외부 탄소원이 전혀 사용되지 않는 조건하에서의 돈사폐수 처리특성을 평가하였다. 수직형과 경사형 모래여과조에서의 NOx-N 부하량에 따른 탈질율은 각각 19%와 3.8%로 수직형에서 5배 정도 높은 효율을 보임에 따라 수직형태의 모래여과조를 생물막 연속회분식 공정과 연계하여 운전하였다. 처리공정을 HRT 15일, 내부순환율 105L/hr.m3, 평균 암모니아성 질소 부하량 54g/m3.d 조건에서 운전하였을 때 STOC, NH4- N, TN의 처리효율은 각각 75%, 97%, 85%이었다. 생물막 연속회분식 반응조와 모래여과조간의 내부순환으로 TN의 제거효율이 약 14%증진되는 것으로 나타났으며 얻어진 질소제거효율 증진은 주로 모래여과조에서의 탈질에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 용해성 인의 경우 내부순환이 수행되지 않았을 시에는 유출수내 농도가 오히려 증가하였으나 내부순환시에는 약 57% 정도가 제거되는 것으로 나타남에 따라 반응물의 내부순환이 용해성 인의 제거효율 증진에도 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 시스템에서의 질소제거 양상을 분석해본 결과 최종 유출수내의 NH4-N은 부하량 60g/m3.d 수준에서 약 20mg/L 이하로 비교적 일정하였고 부하량이 100g/m3.d. 이상의 수준으로 상승함에도 80% 이상의 질소 제거효율을 보였다. 그러나 부하량 100g/m3.d 수준 이상에서부터 처리효율이 감소하는 것으로 나타나 외부탄소원이 전혀 사용되지 않는 운전조건에서의 질소의 적정 부하량은 약 100g/m3.d 정도인 것으로 판단되었다.
