The electrochemical oxidation process has been widely studied in the field of wastewater treatment for the decomposition of organic materials through oxidation using ·OH generated on the anode. Pt anode electrodes with high durability and long-term operability have a low oxygen evolution potential, making them unsuitable for electrochemical oxidation processes. Therefore, to apply Pt electrodes that are suitable for long-term operation and large-scale processes, it is necessary to develop a new method for improving the decomposition rate of organic materials. This study introduces a method to improve the decomposition rate of organic materials when using a Pt anode electrode in the electrochemical oxidation process for the treatment of organic decontamination liquid waste. Electrochemical decomposition tests were performed using sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as a representative organic material and a Pt mesh as the anode electrode. Y₂O₃ particles were introduced into the electrolytic cell to improve the decomposition rate. The decomposition rate significantly improved from 21% to 99%, and the current efficiency also improved. These results can be applied to the electrochemical oxidation process without additional system modification to enhance the decomposition rate and current efficiency.

사후관리단계에 있는 폐기물매립지에서는 매립쓰레기의 안정화 정도를 실측조사하여 파악하기 어려운데 굴착조사를 하면 최종복토층이 손상되기 때문이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 침출수 및 매립가스를 이용하여 매립쓰레기의 분해정도를 평가하는 방법을 개발하고 난지도매립지를 대상으로 적용해 보았다. 그 결과 난지도매립지의 매립쓰레기는 2000년까지 분해가능폐기물 기준 54%, 이분해성물질 기준 70%가 분해되었으며, 대부분이 가스상태로 전환된 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 결과는 생화학적 안정화지수로 활용하고, 매립지의 생물학적 분해조건이 변화되었을 때 반영하는 방법도 제시하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 호기성 매립지에서 함수율 및 수분주입 방법이 폐기물 분해에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 있다. 초기 함수율(20%, 30%, 40% 및 50%)이 매립 폐기물 분해에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 호흡율 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 누적 산소소모량과 산소 소모율은 초기 함수율에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 초기 함수율이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 둘째, 매립지 내부 수분주입 방법으로서 드라이포그 시스템의 효율을 평가하기 위해 모의매립 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 수분의 수직 주입방법과 비교하여 드라이포그 시스템이 유기성 폐기물의 분해를 촉진함을 보여 주었다. 또한 드라이포그 시스템은 수직 주입방식보다 매립지 내부에서 더욱 균일한 수분 분포를 나타내었다.

The Stockholm Convention, which was adopted in Sweden in 2001 to protect human health and the environment, includes regulations for Persistent Organic Pollutant Rotors such as toxic and bioaccumulatives. Currently, there are 28 types of materials. This prohibits and limits the production, use, and manufacture of products. Korea is a member of the Convention, and it is necessary to prepare management and treatment plans to address the POP trends. Thus, we experimentally investigate whether the environmentally stable incineration is achieved when the sample is thermally treated using the Lab-scale (1 kg/hr). The target samples is pesticides in liquid phase and solid phase. In this study, organic chlorinated pesticides and their thermal characteristics were analyzed. We calculated the theoretical air volume based on the element analysis results. Because the interior of the reactor is small, more than 10 times of the air ratio was injected. The retention time was set to at least 4 seconds using a margin. The incineration temperature was $850^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. Thus, we experimentally investigated whether the environmentally stable incineration was achieved when the sample was thermally treated using the Lab-scale (1 kg/hr). We analyzed five types of exhaust gas; the 02 concentration was high, but the CO amount decreased. Complete combustion is difficult because of the small size of the furnace due to the nature of Lab-scale. The organic chlorine-containing pesticide had an average decomposition rate of 99.9935%. Considering the decomposition rates of organic chlorine-containing pesticide in this study, the incineration treatment at over 2 ton/hour, which is typical for a conventional incinerator, is possible. Considering the occurrence of dioxins and unintentional persistent organic pollutants, it can operate at more than $1,100^{\circ}C$.

The development of composting techniques is essential to the low input sustainable agriculture. This paper resents an evaluation of composting system, compost materials, aeration & temperature effects, compost maturity , and operational concerns for compost utilization. The composting of organic waste is markedly affected by the nature of the feedstock and the operational temperature employed for the process. These two major parameters are critically examined in this paper, with references to the decomposition of the organic waste. Future research should concentrate on the indications of stability and environmental problems.

The objective of this study is to find solid waste decomposition in landfill without leachate discharge. This study was observed variation of landfill gas production rate and leachate for stabilization assessment, and using four sets of lysimeter as experimental apparatus. Soild waste decomposition was accelerated in without leachate discharge system by sufficient moisture for methane bacteria. And gas production rate was between 54.2ℓ/kg VS∼335.9ℓ/kg VS in each lysimeter. Generation time of methane gas was showed different in each lysimeter, but it was much faster than literature research. The time of stabilization phase were began as follows : L-1 400 day, L-2 350 day, L-3 170 day and L-4 70 day respectively. Decreasing times of BOD/COD ratio and C/N ratio were necessary more than literature research because organic matter was not discharge such as wash out.

Simultaneous treatment of food waste leachate and power generation was investigated in an air-cathode microbial fuel cell. A TCOD removal efficiency of $95.4{\pm}0.3%$ was achieved for an initial COD concentration of 2,860 mg/L. Maximum power density ranged was maximized at $1.86W/m^3$, when COD concentration varied between 60 mg/L and 2,860 mg/L. Meanwhile, columbic efficiency was determined between 1.76% and 11.07% for different COD concentrations. Cyclic voltammetric data revealed that the oxidation peak voltage occurred at -0.20 V, shifted to about -0.25 V. Moreover, a reduction peak voltage at -0.45 V appeared when organic matters were exhausted, indicating that reducible matters were produced during the decomposition of organic matters. The results showed that it was feasible to use food waste leachate as a fuel for power generation in a microbial fuel cell, and the treatment efficiency of the wastewater was satisfied.

국내 원전에서 증기발생기 세정 후 발생되는 Fe-EDTA 함유 폐액 처리를 위한 초임계수 산화공정 (Supercritical Water Oxidation Process), 광촉매 산화 공정 (Photocatalyst Oxidation Process) 및 DBD 상온 플라즈마 공정 (Dielectric Barrier Discharge Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Process)이 평가되었다. 초임계수 산화 공정에 의해 99.98 %이상의 EDTA 전환율을 나타내어 EDTA 처리를 위한 효과적인 반응공정임을 확인하였으나 공정의 안정성, 부식 방지대책 등이 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 광촉매산화공정으로는 10 % 정도의 낮은 EDTA전환율을 보여 세정폐액 처리 공정으로는 부적합한 것으로 나타났다. DBD를 이용한 Methylene Blue 분해 결과 저 에너지 소비율로 높은 유기물 분해 효율을 얻을 수 있었으나 실 EDTA 공정에의 적용 및 공정 규모 확장 등에 대한 향후 연구 평가가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 음식물쓰레기의 발효건조를 위한 최적 운전조건을 도출하기 위하여 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$의 송풍조건에서 발효건조 회분식 반응기를 20일간 운전하였으며, Modified Gompertz 모델을 이용하여 발효건조 기간 중 반응기내에서의 유기물 분해반응속도를 분석하였다. 유기물 분해 반응속도 분석에서 최대 유기물 분해량 (P)은 송풍량 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$에서 각각 2.31, 2.52, 2.27, 1.88 kg이었으며, 최대 유기물 분해속도 ($R_m$)는 송풍량 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$에서 각각 0.33, 0.45, 0.28, 0.18 kg/day를 보여 송풍량 $1.00L/min{\cdot}kg$에서 우수한 유기물 분해효율을 보였다. 발효건조 반응기의 지체성장시간 (${\lambda}$)은 송풍량 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, $1.50L/min{\cdot}kg$에서 각각 2.10, 1.48, 1.15, 1.06 일로 나타나 $0.75L/min{\cdot}kg$의 적은 송풍조건에서 가장 긴 지체성장시간을 보여 송풍량의 증가는 지체성장시간을 단축시키는 것으로 나타났다. 음식물쓰레기 발효건조 반응기의 운전에서 수분 제거율은 발효건조 반응기 운전 초기에서 중기로 갈수록 송풍량 증가와 함께 증가하다가 발효건조 반응기 운전 말기에는 송풍량 $1.00L/min{\cdot}kg$에서 가장 높은 수분 제거율을 보여 발효건조의 최적 송풍조건은 $1.00L/min{\cdot}kg$으로 나타났다.
