하수슬러지를 유동층 소각으로 처리할 때 유동매체가 $N_2O$ 발생에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 유동매체로 zeolite 분말을 혼합하여 2 mm의 구형으로 제조하였다. 유동사의 평균크기 0.4 mm인 것을 유동매체로 사용할시 최소유동화속도($U_{mf}$)는 0.44 m/s로 나타났으나, 2 mm zeolite 유동매체를 사용하였을 경우, 최소유동화속도는 0.5 m/s로 다소 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 유동층 소각로 내경에 대한 유동층 높이의 비(bed aspect ratio)를 1.4에서 3.1로 증가시켰을 때, 최소유동화속도는 0.5 m/s 에서 0.7 m/s로 다소 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 과잉공기비가 1.79이고, 유동층 온도는 $909^{\circ}C$, 공탑속도는 약 1.65 m/s의 운전 조건에서, 유동매체 양의 증가에 따라 배가스 $O_2$ 농도는 다소 감소하였으며, $CO_2$의 농도는 다소 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 유동매체의 양이 6 kg (bed aspect ratio 1.98) 이상일 때 $N_2O$의 농도가 크게 감소하였는데, 이러한 감소는 $N_2O$의 NOx로 전환이라기보다는 zeolite 유동매체에 의한 $N_2O$ 분해 반응에 의한 것으로 사료되었다. 한편, zeolite 유동매체를 유동사와 혼합하여, 유동층 높이를 일정하게 유지하고, zeolite 유동매체의 혼합 비율과 유동층 온도를 변화시켰을 때, $N_2O$의 발생농도는 혼합비율 보다 유동층 온도에 의해 크게 의존하였으며, 고온으로 갈수록 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 소각 운전 온도를 고려하였을 때, zeolite 유동매체의 소성 온도는 $900^{\circ}C$에서 수행하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.

Biological treatment using the activated sludge method and biofilm process has been developed for paper wastewater treatment. It is known that a water treatment using biofilm process has a high efficiency be-cause a great deal of microorganism could adhere to media. It is also known that various plastics such as polyurethane and polyethylene have been used as the media. In this study polyethylene was used as a media and rice straw an additive agent to improve porous and hydrophilic properties of the media for waste water treatment. Porosity and hydrophilic characteristics of polyethylene was increased as rice straw was added to polyethylene. Paper wastewater was then treated with newly developed environment materials. Rice straw showed excellent results in waste water treatment in various media. This environmentally friendly material prepared by polyethylene and rice straw could show similar results to those of a commercial porous polyurethane foam in wastewater treatment.

In a pilot-scale dyeing wastewater treatment using two-type fluidizing media, each thickness of biofilm was 15 and 30 ${\mu}m$, respectively. The numbers of protozoa inhabited in small-size (PEMT A) and big-size (PEMT B) media were $7.5{\times}10^4$ and $1.25{\times}10^5$ cells/ml, respectively, and dominant species were Entosiphon sulcatus var sulcatus in PEMT A and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in PEMT B, respectively. Flask experiments using the two media revealed that the percentages of color removal were 25.8% in PEMT A and 27.1% in PEMT B after 72-h cultivation, indicating the necessity of bioaugmentation. Experiments for bioaugmentation effect on color removal were carried out in the pilot-scale treatment for 75 d by three-step operation under the control of wastewater loading rate and microbial input rate. Dye degradation occurred mainly in the second reaction tank, and the attachment of augmented dye-degrading microorganisms to media took at least 35 d. Final value of chromaticity in effluent was 227, meeting the required standard. Therefore bioaugmentation onto media was good for color treatment. In summary, thickness of biofilm formed on the media depended upon the size of media, resulting in different ecosystem inside the media. Hence, this affected microbial community and color treatment further. Accordingly, the reduction of operation cost is expected by efficient color-treatment process using bioaugmented media.
