In this paper, the unit processes in the typical water treatment plant, which need to be expanded because the water demand is over the existing water treatment capacity in the near future, were carefully examined to upgrade the water treatment plant. The models were installed in the fields as a distorted model based upon the hydraulic similitudes. The models having the constant discharge ratio in the unit processes between the model and the prototype were installed as two units to compare the treatment efficiencies. The capacity of the individual unit, which is a model of the prototype of $250,000m^3/day$ capacity, was $24m^3/day$. In the mixing and flocculation experiments, the mixing intensity of flocculators G was selected as the main experimental item. The optimal mixing intensities G, which are 65/sec for experimental discharge of $1m^3/hr$ and 85/sec for experimental discharge of $1.3m^3/hr$, are identified based upon the comparison the relative turbidity removal efficiencies. Also, the outlet weir loading was selected as the main experimental item in the sedimentation process. Through the continuous experiments with the main experimental items of the mixing intensity of flocculators G and the outlet loading of the weir in the sedimentation basin, about 20% upgrading compared to the existing water treatment capacity was obtained.

P-type(100)Si Wafer 위에 400Å의 Ta를 증착하여 열산화법으로 Ta2O5박막을 형성시킴 후 RTA후처리를 통하여 절연파괴전장 특성 개선을 이루고자 하였다. 유전상수에 미치는 RTA후처리의 영향은 미약하지만 절연파괴전장을 나타내었으나 결정화 온도 이하의 RTA온도에서는 절연파괴전장이 5.4MV/cm로 RTA효과가 크게 나타났다. 이러한 RTA효과는 RTA온도 575˚C에서 flat band voltage shift가 RTA 시간에 따라 변화가 없는 것으로 미루어 보아 RTA효과는 계면 변화에 의한 것이 아님을 알 수 있었으며, RBS 분석을 통하여 Ta2O51박막의 치밀화에 의한 것임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the effect of different reaction times for thermal-alkaline pretreatment on the solubilization and biogasification of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) were evaluated. Thermal-alkaline pretreatment tests were performed at 73 °C and pH 13 at 0-120 h reaction times. The mesophilic anaerobic batch tests were performed with untreated and pretreated PHB samples. The increase in the pretreatment reaction time results in a 52.8-98.8% increase of the abiotic solubilization efficiency of the PHB samples. The reaction time required to achieve solubilization efficiencies of 50%, 90%, and 95% were 10.5, 52.0, and 89.6 h, respectively. The biogasification of the untreated PHB samples achieved a specific methane production rate of 3.6 mL CH4/g VSS/d and require 101.3 d for complete biogasification. The thermal-alkaline pretreatment significantly improved specific methane production rate (10.2-16.0 time increase), lag time (shortened by 76-81%), and time for complete biogasification (shortened by 21-83%) for the biogasification of the PHB samples when compared to those of the untreated PHB samples. The improvement was higher as the reaction time of the thermal-alkaline pretreatment increased. The findings of this study could be used as a valuable reference for the optimization of the biogasification process in the treatment of PHB wastes.

전 세계적으로 가금류의 소비가 증가함에 따라, 가금류와 관련된 폐기물 증가해왔다. 이 가금류 관련 폐기물의 지속적으로 처리함과 동시에 에너지 회수를 위하여, 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 조건하에서 열분해를 진행하였다. 이산화탄소의 영향을 조사하기 위해, 일반적으로 열분해 공정에서 사용되는 질소조건을 기준으로 하여, 열중량 분석, 열분해에서 발생한 가스 및 타르를 분석, 비교하였다. 먼저 열중량 분석은 25℃부터 900℃로 진행하였으며, 분석한 결과에 의하면 650℃까지 물리적인 차이가 없었다. 다음으로 이산화탄소의 화학적인 영향을 조사하기 위해, 열분해(270℃부터 720℃)에서 발생한 주요 가스인 수소, 메탄, 이산화탄소 각각의 농도에 대해 분석하였고, 최종적으로 발생한 타르의 양을 측정하였다. 이산화탄소의 효과로서 일산화탄소가 증가하고 타르발생량이 감소하였다. 이 결과에 의하면, 열분해에서 발생한 VOCs가 이산화탄소 조건에서 더 쉽게 분해되었고, 이에 따라 일산화탄소가 증가한 것으로 보여진다. 본 연구는 잠재적인 지구온난화 가스인 이산화탄소를 이용함으로써 효율적인 에너지회수를 동반한 폐기물을 처리할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시한다.

Recently, production of sewage and wastewater sludge have increased sharply with the population density and related industrial activity. As a result, studies of sludge treatment and reduction have been conducted and a pre-treatment method that uses thermal hydrolysis has emerged as a solution to this problem. To address problems with the thermal hydrolysis pre-treatment process, the deaeration and nitrogen recovery processes have been set up together, thus generating factors that inhibit dewaterability. In this study, the effect of pre-treatment, deaerated sludge on dewaterability-inhibiting factors (pH, temperature, aeration rate) was evaluated and alternative solutions were prepared. First, the dewaterability improvement effect increased rapidly at 190°C or higher when thermal hydrolysis pre-treatment was applied. Then, 1 L of thermal hydrolysis pre-treatment reactants at 190°C were injected into 1, 5, and 10 L/min air flows at 50°C, but no significant difference in capillary suction time (CST) or time to filter (TTF) was found. The dewaterability improved when the temperatures of the pre-treatment reactants varied between 30, 50, and 70°C under aeration at 5 L/min. However, when the pH was increased to 7, 9, or 11 at 5 L/min and 50°C, the dewaterability worsened by at least 10 times relative to the hydrolysis pre-treatment reactants. The zeta potential decreased from -30 mV to -50 mV as the pH increased. Thus, the stabilities and dispersities of the reactants increased due to the repulsive force of the particles. This was confirmed to be the cause of poor dewaterability. A coagulant can be used to solve to this problem, or the deaeration process can be placed after solid-liquid separation and the heat of thermal hydrolysis can be extracted via heat exchanger.

In this study, a lower heating value for automobile shredder residue incineration facilities (12 facilities) was calculated using a heat balance method, and a recoverable energy potential was calculated after calculating the effective energy output and the effective energy use according to automobile shredder residue incineration. An analysis of the calculation results showed that the effective output and the effective use had average values of 64.5% (49.8-80.2%) and 31.3% (7.1-57.5%) in an ASR incineration plant, respectively. The calculated ratio of effective use to effective output was an average value of 33.2% (3.0-57.8%). Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of effective energy used, it is necessary to make more effort to devise various measures.

Li을 포함하는 삼팔면체 스멕타이트 계열의 헥토라이트가 터키 서부 퇴적 기원의 붕소광상에서 다량 존재하는 것이 확인되었으며, Li을 포함하는 헥토라이트는 리튬 자원으로서의 개발 가능성이 높 기 때문에 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 헥토라이트의 열적 변화와 산에 대한 특성은 산업적인 적용 을 위해서 매우 중요한 성질임에도 불구하고 아직 완전하게 이해된 것이 없다. 이번 연구에서는 터키 붕소광상 중 Li2O 함량이 가장 높은 비가디치 광상에서 채취된 점토광석을 이용하였다. 채취한 점토 광석 내에 존재하는 헥토라이트를 Stoke’s Law를 이용하여 분리한 후 열 및 산 처리 실험을 실시하여 특성 변화를 검토하였다. 헥토라이트는 84℃ 부근에서 흡착수 및 층간수의 탈수에 의한 강한 흡열반 응이 일어나며, 600℃ 이후 결정수의 탈수에 의한 흡열반응이 일어난다. 저온의 흡열반응은 약 6%의 많은 중량 감소를 동반한다. 762℃ 부근에서 헥토라이트가 완화휘석, 크리스토발라이트 및 비정질 산 화철 광물로 분해되는 발열반응이 일어난다. 0.1 M 농도의 무기산으로 1시간 헥토라이트를 반응시킨 결과 황산 ≥ 염산 > 질산 순으로 용해 정도가 높았다.

The dewaterability of pig manure by heat pre-treatment was evaluated in this study. The specific resistance coefficient, a dewatering characteristic, was measured by time to filtration (TTF) test. The experimental conditions were set for heat treatment: 15, 30, 60, and 120 min at 120 ± 1oC and 16, 30, and 60 min at 135 ± 1oC, respectively. The specific resistance coefficient of pig manure was found to be 9.204 × 1011m/kg before treatment, and it gradually decreased with high temperature and long treatment time. Moisture content was decreased from 88% to 77% by heat pre-treatment, and its efficiency was better than mechanical solid-liquid separation with chemical addition. In addition to increased dewaterability, TOC (Total Organic Carbon) concentration was decreased for about 15-42%. Nitrogen concentration was also decreased due to conversion of NH4 +-N to NH3 gas by increased treatment temperature. Consequently, heat pre-treatment was effective for decreasing moisture content and organic matters, and it could have potential for nitrogen recovery.

지난 수십년간 미세조류 바이오매스를 활용하기 위한 여러 가지 시도들이 있었다. 대표적인 사례로 식품첨가제, 건강보조식품 원료, 바이오 디젤, 바이오 메탄 생산 등에 이용되어 왔으며 적용 분야가 광범위한 것이 미세조류의 특징이라고 할 수 있다. 그 중 혐기성 소화공정은 미세조류를 기질로 이용하여 메탄가스를 생성함으로써 미세조류 내에 고정된 에너지를 회수할 수 있다. 하지만 혐기성 소화는 긴 체류시간이 요구되는 단점이 있으며, 대부분의 경우 가수분해 반응이 전체 과정 중에서 율속 단계인 것으로 알려져 왔다. 이에 따라 가수분해속도를 증가시키기 위한 전처리 방법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미세조류(microalgae)를 혐기소화공정에 적용하고자 할 때, 혐기성 소화 효율을 높이기 위한 전처리 방법으로 열수처리공정을 이용하였으며, 이를 확인하기 위해 메탄 잠재량 분석방법(BMP; Biochemical Methane Potential)을 수행하여 바이오가스 생산량 비교와 메탄 생산량 등을 분석하였다. 또한 전처리에 의한 고형물 감량 효과를 측정하기 위하여 휘발성 고형물 감량율(VSR; Volatile solid reduction)을 분석하였으며 탈수성을 평가하기 위해 CST(Capillary Suction Time)를 측정하였다. BMP test 결과 열수처리 온도 280℃에서 전처리한 미세조류의 가스 발생량이 전처리 하지 않은 미세조류의 가스 발생량에 비하여 약 2배 가량 증가한 240mL-biogas/g-VS으로 가장 높은 바이오가스 발생량을 보였으며 전처리에 따른 탈수성의 변화는 뚜렷한 차이를 확인할 수 없었다.

This paper examined reasonable operating factor for treatment of carcass burial leachate in High Temperature Thermal Desorption (HTTD) and calculated the amount of fuel used in each device using heat and mass balance under condition of 4 scenarios. As a result, we concluded that rotary kiln for dryness and thermal desorption shoud be separated dual type and mixing ratio of sawdust and soil should be restricted no more than 1 : 14. Also, operating temperature should be kept 260, 550, 850 or higher in dryer kiln, thermal desorption kiln and secondary chamber respectively and residence time should be kept 30min in each kiln. The total amount of fuel used in each device was compared under 4 scenarios on the mixing ratio. According to a study, it showed the highest value under the scenario of 1 : 1, which showed 2.5 times higher than the scenario of 1 : 14 in terms of treatment of leachate per unit of LNG.

This study analyzed concentration and characteristics of hazardous substances in treatment of leachate from carcass burial areas by using high temperature thermal desorption (HTTD). Concentrations of pollutants emitted from HTTD treatment of leachate contaminated soil of carcass burial sites satisfied the emission standards for 11 pollutants from domestic waste incineration facilities. Dioxin concentration was 0.0060 ng I-TEQ/Sm3 and 0.0061 (0.0055-0.0070) ng ITEQ/ Sm3 in the normal operation condition and the experimental condition, respectively, which are much lower than the MSWI Standard of 0.1ng I-TEQ/Sm3. As a result, it was considered that leachate from carcass burial areas could be treated by high temperature thermal desorption (HTTD).
