Phosphate removal through adsorbent, such as activated alumina, powdered aluminum oxide, flyash, blasted furnace slag and other materials, is commonly and widely practiced. The purpose of this study was to improve the removal efficiency of phosphorus in waste sludge earned at seafood processing factories. To investigate the utility and the feasibility of this sludge disposal process, experiment was carried out with a batch process. As a result, phosphate removal appears to increase with increasing adsorbent does, but shows no changes at an adsorbent does over 5g/l. With increasing ratios of initial phosphate concentration to adsorbent does, the amount of removed phosphate is increased while phosphate removal(%) is decreased. Wasted sludge, treated with zinc chloride chemically, represented a better efficiency than the untreated activated sludge and zinc chloride itself, when they reacted with phosphate solution.

Chemical batch tests were conducted to investigate the amount of nutrients that were released from the wasted activated sludge during microwave heating. For this study, three types of activated sludge were obtained from $A_2/O$, MLE and oxidation ditch (OD) processes. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms in the activated sludge have a unique trait: they releases phosphate from the cell when they are exposed to high temperatures. The sludge obtained from the $A_2/O$ process released the largest amount of phosphate, followed by those from the MLE and OD processes. The release of phosphate increased with increasing polyphosphate content in the sludge under strongly alkaline or acidic conditions. Furthermore, ammonia and heavy metals were released with phosphorous. The largest amount of ammonia was observed from the sludge obtained from the MLE process. The release of heavy metals strongly depends on the pH conditions. Therefore, the chemical analysis results strongly suggest that both phosphorus and ammonia react with $Mg^{2+}$ or $Ca^{2+}$ to form metal complexes such as magnesium ammonium phosphate or hydroxyapatite under alkaline conditions.

This objectives of research are to figure out combustion characteristics with increasing temperature with petrochemical sludge by adding wasted organic matters which are waste electric wire, anthracite coal and sawdust, and to exam heating value and ignition temperature for using refused derived fuels(RDFs). After analyzing TGA/DTG, petrochemical sludge shows a rapid weight reduction by vaporing of inner moisture after $170^{\circ}C$. Gross weight reduction rate, ignition temperature and combustion rates represent 68.6%, $221.9^{\circ}C$ and 54.1%, respectively. In order to assess the validity of the RDFs, the petrochemical sludge by adding wasted organic matters which are waste electric wire, anthracite coal and waste sawdust. The materials are mixed with 7:3(petrochemical sludge : organic matters)(wt%), and it analyzes after below 10% of moisture content. The ignition temperatures and combustion rates of the waste electric wire, anthracite coal and waste sawdust are $410.6^{\circ}C$, $596.1^{\circ}C$ and $284.1^{\circ}C$, and 85.6%, 30.7% and 88.8% respectively. In heating values, petrochemical sludge is 3,600 kcal/kg. And the heating values of mixed sludge (adding 30% of the waste electric wire, anthracite coal and waste sawdust) each increase up to 4,600 kcal/kg, 4,100 kcal/kg and 4,300 kcal/kg. It improves the ignition temperatures and combustion rates by mixing petrochemical sludge and organic matters. It is considered that the production of RDFs is sufficiently possible by using of petrochemical sludge by mixing wasted organic matters.

This study was to evaluate on the removal efficiencies of total nitrogen and phosphorus in municipal wastewater at MUNR process using sludge carbon source for environmental micro-organism. The removal efficiencies of total suspended solid were 85.9~91％, total nitrogen were 38.6~87.2％ and total phosphorus were 30.8~39.0％, respectively. It was shown that removal efficiency of nitrogen was effectively influenced by sludge carbon source treated with ultrasonication. The removal efficiency of total phosphorus was low because the sludge was not wasted during this treatment.

In this research, volume reduction of activated sludge using electrolysis was studied to find an optimum condition using lab scale experiments. Wasted sludge was treated by electrolysis with controlling current density, chloride concentration, electrode distance, and reaction time. Volume of return sludge was reduced by 9.79% in average while maximum was 16.7%. Sludge volume reduction efficiency was affected by current density and reaction time. It was reversely proportional to the electrode distance. Especially current density was effective on the system performance significantly. Electric conductivity, salinity and COD were increased by electrolysis implying sludge disintegrated and converted to COD in part. An empirical equation for total solid removal efficiency by electrolysis was proposed by multiple linear regression analysis as: $TS_{rem}$(%) = 5.534 ${\times}$ current density (A/l) + 0.178 ${\times}$ reaction time (m) + 2.758.

Several disposal processes for waste sludge from wastewater treatment plants such as landfill, ocean dump, incineration, reuse as fuels or fertilizers are practiced. However, ocean dumping is prohibited by international treat. New constructions of landfill sites or incineration facilities are limited by NIMBY and reuse processes are still suffering from low energy yield. Therefore, development of alternative processes for sludge disposal are currently needed. In this study, alternative technique for sludge solubilization using HVI (high voltage impulse) was suggested and verified experimentally. Sludge solubilization was carried out for 90 minutes using HVI discharge with peak voltage of 16 kV and pulse duration for 40 microsecond. About 3~9 % of MLSS and MLVSS concentration were reduced, but the soluble COD, TN, TP of the sludge increased to 372 %, 56 % and 102 % respectively. It indicates that the flocs and/or cells of the sludge were damaged by HVI. These resulted in flocs-disintegration and cells-lysis, which means the internal matters were bursted out of the flocs as well as the cells. Thus, electrical conductivity in bulk solution was increased. All of the results verified that the HVI could be used as an alternative technique for sludge solubilization processes.

Magnetite and inorganic sludge were mainly composed of $Fe_2O_4$ and $Fe_2O_3$, respectively. Initial specific surface areas of magnetite and inorganic sludge were 130 $m^2$/g and 31.7 $m^2$/g. $CO_2$ decomposition rate for inorganic sludge was increased with temperature. Maximum $CO_2$ decomposition rates were shown 89% for magnetite at $350^{\circ}C$ and 84% for inorganic sludge at $500^{\circ}C$. Specific surface area for magnetite was not varied significantly after $CO_2$ decomposition. However, specific surface area for inorganic sludge was greatly decreased from initial 130 $m^2$/g to approximately 50~60 $m^2$/g after reaction. Therefore, it was estimated that magnetite could be used for $CO_2$decomposition for a long time and inorganic sludge should be wasted after $CO_2$ decomposition reaction.

본 논문은 매립장 복토재로 사용될 열분해 차르의 중금속 및 VOCs의 흡착거동을 조사하였다. 열분해 과정에서 슬러지에 함유된 휘발분이 가스화 됨으로서 모체에 세공이 형성되었다. 휘발분의 가스화로 인해 형성된 세공을 확인하기 위하여 질소 흡착/탈착 실험을 한 결과, 열분해 차르($14.56\;m^2/g$)가 유기성 폐슬러지($6.68\;m^2/g$)보다 비표면적이 2배 정도 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 열분해 차르는 BDDT 분류의 Type II와 V의 중간 형태의 흡착특성을 나타냈으며, 약간의 미세공이 형성되었음을 보여주었다. 에틸벤젠과 톨루엔의 흡착실험 결과를 Freundlich 흡착등온선에 적용한 결과, 열분해 차르는 화강토나 유기성 폐슬러지보다 이들 물질에 대해 흡착능이 우수하였다. 또한 열분해 차르의 중금속 흡착실험에서도 어느 정도 중금속 흡착능력을 보여주었다. 이것은 열분해 차르가 매립장 복토재로 사용될 경우, 매립장으로부터 유해물질을 흡착/흡수하여 지하수와 토양이 오염되는 것을 막아주는 효과를 가지고 있음을 말해준다.

석산에서 부순잔골재를 생산시에는 다량의 슬러지 미립분이 배출되고 있다. 그러나, 실무현장에서는 슬러지의 일부를 매립용등에 제한적으로 사용할 뿐, 대부분은 방치되거나 무분별하게 버려지고 있어 막대한 경제적 손실과 환경오염 문제를 유발시키고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 석산폐기물인 슬러지를 공장제품용 시멘트 모르타르 제조에 골재대체용 충전재로 활용하기 위하여, 골재 종류 및 모르타르 배합비 등에 미립분 혼입률을 변화시켜 시멘트 모르타르의 강도 및 흡수 특성을 검토하였다. 연구결과, 시멘트 모르타르 제품을 제조할 때 슬러지를 골재에 10% 정도 대체하여 혼입하게 되면 기존의 시멘트 모르타르 제품보다 향상된 품질의 제품이 생산될 수 있는 것이 확인되었다.
