This study focuses on the feasibility of bio-gas production using anaerobic digestion by measuring methane generation and biodegradability through the BMP test of industrial organic wastes. Organic wastes consist of entrails of pigs and organic residues of rumen generated from slaughter houses, wastewater sludge from slaughter waste water, fish offal and residues of vegetables from public wholesale markets, and wastewater sludge from the process of wastewater treatment in paper mill. The cumulative methane production by BMP test ranges from 149.3 ml/g-VS to 406.6 ml/g-VS and this is similar to methane generation of the normal wastewater sludge and food waste. As a result of measurement of biodegradability, wastewater sludge (S1 ~ S4) is low, ranging from 27.1% to 58.9 % and organic residues of rumen (G1) is low at 49.6 %. In conclusion, it turned out that raising the hydrolysis by various pre-treatments is necessary in order to produce bio-gas by using industrial organic wastes.

An experimental investigation has been carried out to evaluate the characteristics in wastewater treatment using an anaerobic packed bed bioreactor with ceramics, rubber sponge, soft stone A, and soft stone B as carrier. The results of the work have shown that soft stone A as a carrier was superior to other carriers in methane production, then the content of methane for soft stone A was about 70%. First of all, soft stone A had higher efficiency of the COD removal than the others in response of passing the operation, as well as it had a low volatile acid in reactor. In addition, the slope of methane production with respect to the removal of COD ($m^{3}CH_{4}$/kgCOD) was 0.58 for soft stone A. In biomass hold-up equation for each carriers, the equation of soft stone A was m$_{p}$=714 ($C_{o}/0.41+C_{o}$) and it was the largest in this experimented carriers. Based upon the results obtained, it is suggested that the major effective carrier in wastewater treatments within the packed bed bioreactor used in this experimental work by soft stone A.

The combined SHARON (Single reactor system for High ammonium Removal Over Nitrite)-ANAMMOX (Anaerobic ammonium oxidation) reactor were operated in mesophilic condition ($35^{\circ}C$). In this study, microbial granulation and characteristics of SHARON and ANAMMOX sludges were investigated using settling test, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH). In SHARON reactor, Aerobic granulation with diameter of 1.5~2.5 mm was accomplished but aerobic granulation was weaker than anaerobic granular sludge. Initial seed sludge of ANAMMOX reactor was used as attached media for biofilm growth. ANAMMOX sludge was more compact and rounder rather than seed sludge. Though ANAMMOX sludge has high activity, it has lower settling ability than the seed granule. The color of ANAMMOX sludge was changed from dark to redish brown granular with diameter of 1~2 mm. In FISH of ANAMMOX sludge, high fraction of Candidatus B. stuttgartiensis which paid great role of nitrogen conversion was detected. Also, FISH results reveals that ANAMMOX bacteria inhabit at inner parts near surface, having advantages in utilization of substrates and protection from oxygen inhibition.

A synthetic wastewater composed of powdered baby food and inorganic nutrients was treated by five 3.6L anaerobic reactors in order to test the relationship between solids retention time (SRT) and media surface ratio, and the removal efficiencies of organic substrate. Of the five reactors, four were semi-continuously fed stirred-tank reactors and one continuously-stirred batch reactor. The influent was 7430mg/L in COD, 7120 mg/L $BOD_L$ and 6350mg/L in $BOD_5$, respectively. Operating temperature was $35{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and pH in the range 6.9 to 7.2. In this experimental study it was found that a linear relationship existed, within the experiment range, between SRT and media surface ratio, and that SRT and removal efficiency increased with increasing media surface ratio. The substrate removal efficiencies were 82.7 to $88.2\%$ in COD, 82.9 to $88.4\%$ in $BOD_L$ and 83.3 to $88.7\%$ in $BOD_5$, respectively.

Therapeutic use of antibiotics in the pulpal disease should reduce the clinical symptoms and pathogenic microflora in the pulp. The purpose of this study was focused on local drug delivery into the root canal in endodontic therapy. Monolithic films from polycaprolactone and polyethylene glycol preparations with minocycline were prepared, and then the antimicrobial effect of these films on necrotic canal was tested. A total 17 necrotized pulp teeth were sampled before and 1 week after insertion of film into the pulp. Bacterial culture were performed with anaerobical condition and seeded in the 5 selective and non - selective media for 7 days in $37^{\circ}C$ of anaerobic chamber. Bacterial identification were performed with Gram staining, biochemical test, and API kit There was significantly decreased of anaerobic and aerobic microflora of 13 among 17 patients after therapy. Among the identified microflora, Streptococcus species, black - pigmented species and Fusobacterium species were significantly reduced 1 week after treatment with local delivery antibiotics. Furthermore, clinical symptoms included in pain and local swelling were continuousely reduced after therapy. These results suggest that local drug delivery with minocycline is effeicient to treat the endodontic involved teeth for releasing clinical symptoms and microbiological shifting.

Characteristics of a downflow anaerobic packed bed reactor with raschig ring ceramics as a packing were measured and discussed for the basic evaluation of the process. A synthesized glucose substrate wastewater were used as a feed and process characteristics such as pH, biogas production, composition of produced gas, COD removal and VSS were measured with the hydraulic retention time (HRT) changing from 0.25 to 2 days. As a result, this type of reactor was applicable in continuous operation within the given HRT range and the transient period approaching the steady state was about 20 days. The content of methane in produced gas increase with HRT was always high above 50% enough to use as energy source. The COD removal efficiency increased gradually as HRT increased. The axial profile of VSS concentration in the reactor usually showed the maximum at the lower region and the minimum at the middle. The VSS concentration at the upper region and the exit appeared similarly. However, at 0.25 day of HRT, the VSS concentration of effluent became higher than that of the upper region. Therefore the optimum HRT of this reactor occurred about 0.5 day, at which the production of methane began to be just stabilized and loss of VSS and COD removal were resonable.

Digestate or slurry produced from anaerobic digestion is mostly applied to crop lands for its disposal and recovering nutrients. However, minimizing nitrogen losses following field application of the digestate is important for maximizing the plant's nitrogen uptake and reducing environmental concerns. This study was conducted to assess the effects of three different biogas digestate application techniques (sawdust mixed with digestate (SSD), the hole application method (HA), and digestate injected in the soil (SD)) on nitrate leaching potential in the soil. A pot laboratory experiment was conducted at room temperature of 25 ± 2 ℃ for 107 days. The experimental results showed that sawdust application method turned out to be appropriate for quick immobilization of surplus N in the form of microbial biomass N, reflecting its lower total nitrogen and NH₄-N contents and low pH. The NH₄-N and total nitrogen fate in the soil fertilized with manure showed no statistically significant (p > 0.05) differences between the different methods applied during the incubation time under room temperature. In contrast, NO₃-N concentration indicates significant reduction in sawdust treatment (p < 0.05) compared to the control and other application methods. However, the soil sawdust mixed with digestate was more effective than the other methods, because of the cumulative labile carbon contents of the amendment, which implies soil net N immobilization.

하수처리 공정모델링 소프트웨어인 EQPS(Effluent Quality Prediction System, Dynamita, France)를 적용하여 A하수처리시설 생물반응조 설계의 적합성을 분석하였다. A하수처리장은 친수용수 수준의 목표수질을 준수하기 위하여 이차침전지 유출수 설계농도를 총질소와 총인, 각 10 mg/L, 1.8 mg/L로 설정하여 설계하였다. 4-Stage BNR 공정인 반응조의 체류시간은 총 9.6시간으로 전무산소조 0.5, 혐기조 1.0, 무산소조 2.9, 호기조 5.2시간이었다. 동절기 공정모델링 결과 친수용수 수준의 목표수질을 만족하기 위하여 혐기조의 체류시간을 0.2시간 늘렸고 당초 설계조건이던 외부탄소원 비상시 주입을 상시적으로 주입해야 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 모델링 결과의 왜곡을 배제하기 위하여 소프트웨어 제조사가 제시한 one step nitrification denitrification 모델의 Default 계수를 사용하였다. 공정모델링은 대체적으로 최적의 상태를 제시하기 때문에 생물반응조 여유율을 고려하면 4-Stage BNR의 체류시간은 9.8시간보다 증가시켜야 한다. 하수처리장 설계단계에서 공정 모델링의 정확한 사용은 하수처리장 건설 후 처리성능과 효율의 안정성을 담보할 수 있는 방법이므로 설계단계에서 철저한 평가가 필요하다.

Two phase UASB reactors for treating wastewater with sulfate were operated to assess the performance and competition of organics between sulfate reducing bacteria(SRB) and methane producing bacteria(MPB), and the change of characteristics of microorganisms. The reactors were fed in parallel with a synthetic wastewater of 4,000-5,000 mgCOD/L and sulfate concentration of $800-1,000\;mgSO_4/L$. In the MPR(methane producing reactor) and CR(control reactor), COD removal efficiencies were 90% and 60%, respectively, at the OLR(organic loading rate) of 6 gCOD/L, while the amount of biogas and methane content were 6.5 L/day and 80%, and 3 L/day and 50%, respectively. However, the portion of electron flow used by SRB at the OLR of 6 gCOD/L day in MPR and CR was 3% and 26%, respectively. This indicated that the increase of OLR of wastewater containing high sulfate like CR resulted in activity decrease and cell decay of MPB, while SRB was adapted immediately to new environment. The MPB activities in MPR and CR were 2 and $0.38\;kgCH_4-COD$/gVSS day at the OLR of 6 gCOD/L. This indicated hat SRB dominated gradually over MPB during long-term operation with wastewater containing sulfate as a consequence of outcompeting of SRB over MPB. In addition, the solution within AFR was maintained around pH 5.0, the MPB such as Methanothrix spp. which was very important to formation of granules was detached from the surface of granules due to the decrease of activity by limitation of substrate transportation into MPB. Therefore, a significant amount of sludge was washed out from the reactor.
