우리나라에서 발생되는 음식쓰레기는 퇴비화 처리시 높은 수분함량과 낮은 C/N비를 적정 수준으로 조절하기 위해 bulking agent를 첨가함이 필수적이며 그의 정확한 첨가량을 계산하는 것은 퇴비화에 소요되는 비용을 결정하는데 중요한 요소로 적용하게 된다(Hay et al., 1998). 그러나 bulking agent의 첨가량을 계산하기 위한 기준지표 중의 하나인 C/N비의 경우 혼합되는 bulking agent의 분해정도가 고려되지 않은 총 탄소와 질소의 비에 기준하여 적정 첨가비율이 정해지고 있기 때문에 실제 요구되는 탄소와 질소의 양을 초과 또는 미달하는 경우가 발생될 수 있으며, 이는 곧 bulking agent의 과다첨가 또는 반응속도 저하로 인한 처리비용의 상승과 직결될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 음식쓰레기의 퇴비화를 위한 bulking agent의 정확한 첨가량을 정량적으로 제시하기 위하여 bulking agent의 첨가로 인한 반응향상 여부와 그 원인을 분석하여 이를 바탕으로 적정 첨가량 결정법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 실질적으로 분해가능한 탄소원을 포함하고 있는 쌀밥의 첨가는 C/N비가 낮은 음식쓰레기의 퇴비화반응을 향상시킬 수 있으나, 분해가 쉽지 않은 톱밥을 bulking agent로 첨가할 경우는 음식쓰레기의 탄소원을 제공함으로써 반응을 향상시킨다기 보다는 음식쓰레기의 통기성을 개선하여 줌으로써 활발한 퇴비화 반응을 유도한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, bulking agent는 그 첨가량을 많이 할수록 퇴비화반응에 유리하며, 일반적인 적정 C/N비값 이상의 첨가율에서도 반응 향상이 가능한 것으로 예상된다. 또한 bulking agent 첨가량의 증가로 인한 통기성의 향상효과는 해당 조건하에서의 적정 수분함량값 증가요소로 작용하는 것으로 나타나 이를 종합적으로 고려한 bulking agent첨가량 결정이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 실험적 분석의 결과를 종합할 때, 음식쓰레기 100g당 78g의 톱밥을 첨가하여 C/N비를 25 수분함량을 56%로 각각 조절하는 것이 본 연구에서 다루어진 음식쓰레기의 활발한 퇴비화를 위해서는 적절하며, 이러한 첨가량의 계산법은 실제 퇴비화시설의 적정 운전을 위해서 적용함이 바람직한 것으로 판단되었다.

In this study, we investigated whether PLGA microspheres in combination with hyaluronic acid (HA) gel have appropriate properties as a bulking agent for urologic injection therapies and whether the implantation of PLGA microspheres and HA gel induces angiogenesis in the newly formed tissues. In order to investigate whether this bulking agent is injectable, this material was injected through 24-gauge needles into the subcutaneous dorsum of the mouse. The bulking agent was easily injected without needle obstruction. Histological analyses of the hybrid tissues at 2 weeks showed that host cells at the surrounding tissues migrated into the spaces between the implanted PLGA microspheres and formed tissue-like structures. An inflammatory response to the implants was mild at 2 weeks and diminished at 8 weeks. Importantly, extensive ingrowth of blood vessels was observed in the hybrid tissues formed by the injection of PLGA microspheres and HA, whereas blood vessels rarely formed in the hybrid tissues formed by the injection of PLGA microspheres only. The implant volume was conserved for almost the entire implantation period. Histological analyses of the distant organs of the bulking agent-implanted animals, such as the lungs, liver, heart, brain, kidney, and spleen, showed no evidence of the injected microsphere migration. These results show that PLGA microspheres in combination with HA possess the appropriate characteristics for a bulking agent for urologic injection therapies and induce extensive blood vessel formation in the hybrid tissues.

A study on the effect of the biodegradability of the composting bulking agent in the swine manurecomposting was carried out in a batch system. The purpose of this study is to prove the effect of the biodegradability of the composting-bulking agent on the efficiency of the composting. In this study, it is the lignins: Klason-Lignin in the volatile solid that the index of the biodegradability of the composting-material mixes which are pig manure-rice straw pig manure-sawdusts pig manuremixture of rice and ricestraw (2:1) pig manure-mixture of rice and sawdust (1:1). It was carried out in the same condition (moisture contents, air supply rate, C/N ratio, initial input weight, porosity-structure) except the biodegradability of the raw material mixes. One of the results from this study is that the biodegradability of the bulking agent in the sense of the VS lignin content is not an insignificant factor in composting reaction. The less contents of the lignin in VS, the more efficiencies of the cornposting reaction in use of these parameters for the degree of the reaction: temperature, the trends of the ash contents, the change pattern of the C/N ratio. Under some assumptions, it is able to induce rough model on the relation of the VS lignin contents with the efficiency of the degradability. In this model, the biodegradability of the bulking agent is not an insignificant factor however, it is flexible within some degrees of range.

The coal fly ash (CFA) may be utilized as an extender for organic waste composting at the same time fully expected to solve all industrial waste disposal and sawdust tribe. The main objective in this study was to evaluate the effect of CFA addition as a bulking agent for swine manure composting. To determine the suitable addition rate of CFA as a bulking agent, 0, 10, 20 and 30% of saw dust were mixed with 30, 20, 10 and 0% of coal fly ash, respectively. Compost quality for swine manure composting was to evaluate temperature, pH, C/N ratio, and phytotoxicity as germination index. Stability of compost increased with increasing levels of CFA as bulking agent during swine manure composting due to the high alkaline materials including CFA. C to N ratio in treatment added CFA was higher than that of the control without CFA. After finishing composting, germination index of lettuce and cabbage in swine manure compost added 10% of CFA was similar to the control, all the heavy metal contents were far below the stipulated standard for organic farming. These results indicated tahr coal fly ash as bulking agents might be alternative materials to save saw dust and apply industrial products for swine manure composting.

고분자 합성물질로 제조된 팽화제를 첨가하여 음식물쓰레기를 퇴비화하였다. 합성팽화제 첨가 효과는 초기 수분함량, 톱밥 첨가와 같은 퇴비화 조건이 적절할 때는 뚜렷이 관찰할 수 없었으나 수분함량이 70%이상이거나 식종퇴비 무첨가 등의 퇴비화 조건이 좋지 않은 상태에서 나타났다. 합성팽화제 첨가에 따른 긍정적 효과는 퇴비더미의 통기성이 개량되었기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한 합성팽화제를 첨가하면 일반적인 팽화제인 톱밥의 첨가량을 50% 정도 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그렇지만 합성팽화제는 수분을 조절히는 기능이 없기 때문에 음식물쓰레기의 수분함량을 적정 수준으로 조절하기 위해서는 건조, 탈수 등의 전처리 공정이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 또 톱밥을 첨가하지 않으면 퇴비 뭉침 현상에 나타나기 때문에 합성팽화제를 투입하더라도 일정량의 톱밥 첨가는 필요하였다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of composting of swine manure with wood chips as a bulking agent. To evaluate the optimum blending ratio of wood chip to swine manure three levels of wood chip such as 100, 150, and 200% were blended on a volume basis with 100% of swine manure was used to determine the effect of wood chip compared with sawdust as a bulking agent on composting. The maximum temperature reached during composting was 70, 58, 48, 72$^{\circ}C$ at blending ratio of 100, 150, 200, and 50WC+50SD%, respectively. The bulk density of compost was increased extremely with increasing the blending level of wood chip. The C/N ratio of final compost ranged from 18.25 to 19.82 . Heavy metal contents in the final compost were in the range of 0.05∼0.16 mg/kg, 5,86∼10.95 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, and 295∼440 mg/kg for Cd, Hg, and Cu, respectively. It was concluded that the blending ratio of 200:100 of wood chip and manure by volume was satisfactory for swine manure composting.

Sawdust is commonly used as a bulking agent for livestock manure composting. Nowadays, demand of sawdust for composting is increasing, so its price is very high and not easy to obtain. In this study in order to examine the effect of autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC, one of the industrial wastes) on composting of swine manure, ALC (each size of 2, 4, an 8mm) was used as a bulking agent. Swine manure was mixed with each of sawdust and 8mm of ALC in a 1:1 ratio by volume and 2, 4mm of ALC was mixed in a 2:1 ratio by volume. The total period lasted 50 days and was divided into two periods. After mixing bulking agent with swine manure, they were left undisturbed to compost with aeration for an initial period of 20 days. At the end of this period, they were decomposed and mixed to effect a homogenization and then a second period of composting (without aeration) was conducted for 30 days. Temperature during the initial period of swine manure composting were above 70$^{\circ}C$ in all piles and maintained above 55$^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. Temperatures during the second period were relatively lower than the initial period. pH of the compost was increased during the initial period and after 50 days it reached 9.08 in sawdust pile and 9.03 in ALC pile ( 2mm). In nitrogen content of final compost, sawdust pile was higher than ALC piles by 21∼29%.

The composting process is a suitable to dispose the livestock manure in terms of resources recovery. However the performence of composting process is greatly affected by the environmental conditions such as characteristics of manure, type of the bulking agent, initial moisture contents, temperature, recycle and so on. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimum environmental conditions of composting process for livestock manures. The analytical results indicated that no bulking agent was necessary for the cow manure because of the proper C/N ratio. However the pig manure required a bulking agent since the pig manure had not only low in C/N ration but poor ventilation characteristics. In addtion, the initial miosture content for optimum composting appeared to be about 60%. The temperature control was also an essential factor to enhance the activity of thermophilic microorganisms in the laboratory composting unit. It was further found that the recycle of composts may contributed the completion of composting precess as well as C/N ratio reduction and moisture control.
