This study established a method for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of 84 odorous compounds by determining proton transfer reaction rate constants, fragmented ion patterns, and product ion yield ratios through experiments on 33 target compounds and by incorporating previously reported data. In this research, a protontransfer- reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS), a real-time analytical instrument, was employed to quantitatively analyze odorants in process streams and final outlet gases from two wastewater consignment treatment facilities (Facility A and Facility B). The expected odor intensity (EOI) estimation method was further applied to identify the primary odor contributors. Among the final outlet gases, the top five odorcausing substances in Facility A were n-pentanal, acetaldehyde, methylmercaptan, n-hexanol, and n-butanal, while the top five odor-causing substances in Facility B were n-decanal, n-nonanal, acetaldehyde, n-butanal, and n-propanol. The cumulative odor contribution rates of these top five odorants were 94.7% and 91.9% for Facilities A and B, respectively. Although PTR-ToF-MS has inherent limitations in distinguishing isomers and isobars, their individual quantification was achieved through complementary identification and separation by TD-GC-MS. This study provides a basis for simplifying quality control in odor analysis compared with conventional trace-level odor testing methods and proposes a more scientific and effective approach for addressing odor problems.

In this study, GC-MS linked with an automatic thermal desorber was used to quantitatively analyze the odorous and volatile compounds in the gas emitted from a sewage sludge drying facility. In addition, the removal characteristics of these compounds were investigated by using a pilot-scale packed bed wet scrubber. A quantitative analysis for 58 odorous and volatile compounds in the gas was successfully achieved with GC-MS and GC-FPD. The a quantitative analysis revealed the major odorous compounds were hydrogen sulfide and acetaldehyde. In addition, D-type siloxane compounds such as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5), and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6), were quantitatively measured. The concentrations of siloxane compounds measured in the gas were in the range of 4.54- 7.36 ppmv, higher than those in landfill gas. The average removal efficiency of the odorous and volatile compounds in a wet scrubber was 67.37%. D4, D5, and D6, which are hydrophobic compounds, were also removed by as much as 50.68%, 44.56%, and 70.26%, respectively.

The aim of this paper is to compare the characteristics of the T-P removal from synthesized municipal wastewater by electro-coagulation using cylindrical Al and Fe electrode as anode. For this purpose, a concentric circle type electrolysis reactor was used and the operating conditions for T-P removal from synthesized wastewater are as follows; potential 10 V, electrolyte 0.03% NaCl, initial T-P concentration 1.0 ~ 6.0 mg/L and flow rate 1.0 ~ 5.0 L/min. From the experimental results, T-P concentration of treated wastewater was decreased to less than 0.2 mg/L enough to discharge standard and Al electrode showed performance than Fe electrode for T-P removal by electro-coagulation. Optimal conditions for T-P removal to less than 0.15 mg/L which is 75% of discharge standard for large scale municipal wastewater plant (capacity higher than 500 m3/day) were obtained as follows; flow rate 2.503 L/min, and 2.337 L/min, HRT 1.059 min, 1.134 min, for Al and Fe electrode, respectively. Consumed mass of Al and Fe were of 3.76 times and 8.90 times respectively, were obtained to removed T-P at optimal conditions with potential 10 V, and 0.03% NaCl as electrolyte.

기-액 흡수반응에서 기체의 흡수효율은 흡수탑 내에서 가스의 체류시간과 흡수속도에 크게 기인된다. 이에 따라 선행연구자들은 기-액 반응에서 기체의 흡수율을 증진시키고자 흡수장치개발에 초점을 맞추어왔다. 지금까지 개발되어 이용되고 있는 흡수장치로는 packed tower, spray tower, bubble column, agitated vessel 등 여러 종류가 있으며, Bohner 등에 의하여 jet loop reactor가 개발되었다. Jet loop reactor는 draft tube 내부에 설치된 이유체 노즐에서 기체와 액체가 분사될 때 생성되는 액체제트에 의해 미세한 기포가 형성되어 기-액간의 접촉 면적이 넓어지고 난류강도가 증진된다. 또한, draft tube 내부를 하향류로 흐르던 유체가 annular space를 통해 상향류로 올라간 후, 기-액 흐름의 일부가 draft tube 내부로 재순환되어 기포의 체류시간이 증가하게 된다. 이러한 특징에 의하여 jet loop reactor는 타 반응기에 비하여 기-액간의 물질전달율이 높게 나타난다. 최근 jet loop reactor 내부에 설치된 two-fluid nozzle의 구조를 개선하여 가스와 액체가 nozzle tip에서 분사될 때 draft tube 내부와 외부에서 swirling flow가 형성되는 two-fluid swirling nozzle(TSN)이 개발되었다. Two-fluid swirling nozzle이 부착된 jet loop reactor는 기존의 two-fluid nozzle이 부착된 jet loop reactor에 비하여 기포크기가 미세해지며, 기포와 액체가 draft tube와 annular space를 통과할 때 난류강도가 증가하여, 기-액간 물질전달속도가 더욱 증진될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 two-fluid swirling nozzle(TSN)이 부착된 jet loop reactor와 기존의 two-fluid conventional nozzle(TCN)이 부착된 jet loop reactor에서 CO₂를 흡수제거하는 과정에서 두 nozzle간의 성능을 비교평가하고자 하였다. 성능평가는 일정 조업조건에서 알칼리용액의 pH가 10.1에서 7.0까지 중화되는 시간과 순간 CO₂ 이용율과 총괄 CO₂ 이용율을 측정하여 비교하였다. 그 결과 동일한 액체 순환유량 조건에서 TCN을 장착했을 때에 비하여 TSN을 장착했을 때가 전체적으로 더 짧은 중화시간을 나타내며, 순간 CO₂ 이용율은 TSN을 장착한 경우가 TCN을 장착한 경우에 비하여 높게 나타났으며, 알칼리 용액의 pH가 높을수록 순간 CO₂이용율도 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 또한, Jet loop reactor에서 초기 pH 10.1인 알칼리 용액을 pH 7로 중화하는데 이용된 총괄 CO₂이용율은 TSN과 TCN을 사용했을 때 모두 97 % 이상이었으며, 동일한 액체 순환유량에서 TSN을 장착하였을 경우가 TCN을 장착하였을 경우에 비하여 높은 총괄 CO₂이용율을 보였다.

This paper presents the results of the electrochemical treatment of chemical oxygen demand(COD) and total nitrogen(T-N) compounds in the wastewater generated from flue gas desulfurization process by using a lab-scale electrolyzer. With the increase in the applied current from 0.6 Ah/L to 1.2 Ah/L, the COD removal efficiency rapidly increases from 74.5% to 96%, and the T-N removal efficiency slightly increases from 37.2% to 44.9%. Therefore, it is expected that an electrochemical treatment technique will be able to decrease the amount of chemicals used for reducing the COD and T-N in wastewater of the desulfurization process compared to the conventional chemical treatment technique.
