From results of three components analysis about food waste, moisture content appeared high in order of school(89.1%), townhouse(64.9%), apartment(63.2%) and home(63.2%). And content of ash also appeared high in order of school(8.8%), townhouse(6.3%), apartment(5.4%) and home(4.2%). This is judged as cause of difference of moisture content according to emission-source, diversity of kind of cooked food and volume-rate disposal system which is not performed. Meanwhile, combustible content is 10.9~32.6% and it is the most highest in order of home, apartment, townhouse and school. And big difference of standard deviation of apartment and townhouse is judged as difference of homogeneity due to co-emission of food waste. In addition, Low heating value appeared high in order of home(1086.07 kcal/kg), apartment(1033.69 kcal/kg), townhouse (678.07 kcal/kg) and school(9.18 kcal/kg). And the reason that heating value of school is very low is error about simple formula which is applied when moisture content is more than 50%. And it can be confirmed that this is difficult in analysis of Low heating value of food waste.
The conventional development of multi-component electrodes is based on the researcher's experience and is based on trial and error. Therefore, there is a need for a scientific method to reduce the time and economic losses thereof and systematize the mixing of electrode components. In this study, we use design of mixture experiments (DOME)- in particular a simplex lattice design with Design Expert◯R program- to attempt to find an optimum mixing ratio for a three-component electrode for the high RNO degradation; RNO is an indictor of OH radical formation. The experiment included 12 experimental points with 2 center replicates for 3 different independent variables (with the molar ratio of Ru, Ti, Ir). As the Prob > F value of the ‘Quadratic’ model is 0.0026, the secondary model was found to be suitable. Applying the molar ratio of the electrode components to the corrected response model results is an RNO removal efficiency (%) = 59.89 × [Ru] + 9.78 × [Ti] + 67.03 × [Ir] + 66.38 × [Ru] × [Ir] + 132.86 × [Ti] × [Ir]. The R2 value of the equation is 0.9374 after the error term is excluded. The optimized formulation of the ternary electrode for an high RNO degradation was acquired when the molar ratio of Ru 0.100, Ti 0.200, Ir 0.700 (desirability d value, 1).
