This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of improving dewaterability and settleability of sewage sludge using coagulation sludge. When mixed with sewage sludge and coagulation sludge at 1:1 ratio, capillary suction time(CST) and specific resistance to filtration(SRF) decreased by about 56% and 68%, respectively. It is found that total solids(TS) and volatile solids(VS) of mixing sludge are increased by about 59% and 53%, respectively. Also, the turbidity of the mixing sludge supernatant was reduced from 99 to 16 NTU. It is observed that the mixing of sewage sludge and coagulation sludge at 1:1 showed better effect than using poly-aluminum chloride(PAC) coagulant at 25 mg/L.

본 연구에서는 액-액 반응에 의한 액상탄산화법을 이용하여 탄산칼슘을 제조하였다. MEA를 사용하여 습식화학수법의 셔틀메카니즘을 도입하였다. MEA 30% 수용액에 고농도 이산화탄소(A)와 배 기가스(B)를 사용하여 이산화탄소를 포집하였으며, 액상탄산화과정을 통해 슬러지 mg 당 0.35 mg의 이 산화탄소를 고정하였다. 최종생성물의 SEM 분석결과 탄산칼슘의 구조는 calcite가 혼합되어 있으나 대 부분 구형 vaterite가 생성되었다.

본 연구에서는 이산화탄소 고정화에 있어 이산화탄소 전환을 위해 MEA를 이용한 습식화학흡 수법의 셔틀메카니즘을 도입하였다. 또한 알칼리 무기물질을 다량 함유한 산업부산물을 습식탄산화법을 이용해 처리하고자 하였다. 즉, 산업부산물의 화학적 처리를 통해 칼슘이온을 용출하였다. 산성물질을 이용한 용출상징수를 ICP로 분석한 결과, 칼슘이온이 최대 17,900 ppm(1.79%)을 확보하였다. 또한 MEA를 이용한 습식 흡수공정을 통해 상온, 상압조건의 이산화탄소 분위기에서 94%의 전환률을 얻었 다. 슬러지의 액상탄산화를 통해 슬러지 mg 당 0.175 mg의 이산화탄소를 고정하였으며, 최종생성물의 XRD 분석결과 일반적인 탄산칼슘의 결정구조인 calcite 형상을 확인하였다.

To prevent climate change which is thought to be caused by the carbon dioxide emitted from industrial facilities by human activities, the efforts to reduce the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been widely made. One of the method is to capture carbon dioxide by liquid absorbent. In this method, flue gas containing carbon dioxide is introduced to the absorber where the absorbent captures carbon dioxide selectively. After capturing, carbon dioxide is separated by heat at desorber and separated CO2 is transprted to storage site such as deep ocean or underground. However, stored CO2 is not permanently stable and these can be problematic that can cause ecosystem destruction due to low pH of the gas. By applying metal cation supplying unit after the capture process, carbon dioxide can be converted to metal carbonate salt in solid phase which can be stored stably or can be utilized or reused for industrial application. In this research, the mechanisms of carbon dioxide conversion were suggested and basic properties and conditions of the system were introduced.
