Abstract

Nitrous oxide(N$_2$O) is well known as a greenhouse gas that contributes to the global warming (310 times more per molecule than carbon dioxide) and to the destruction of the ozone layer. The objective of this study is to estimate N$_2$O emission factor using an emission isolation flux chamber from municipal wastewater treatment plants. N$_2$O gas was analysed by GC/ECD with 6 port gas sampling valve. The results of this study were as follows. N$_2$O emission factor of 5-Stage process from Y wastewater treatment plants was lowest as 0.94 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN. And that of other processes were 2.65 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN for Activated sludge process, 9.30 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN for Denipho process, and 26.73 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN for Sequencing Batch Reactor process. We have known that 5-Stage process is most appropriate process to reduce greenhouse for municipal wastewater treatment plants.

하수처리과정에서 온실가스인 N$_2$O가 발생하는데, N$_2$O의 지구온난화 기여율은 CO$_2$의 310배에 달한다. 본 연구에서는 하수처리공정에 따라 온실가스 배출계수가 어떤 차이를 보이는지를 분석하기위해 운전 중인 4개의 하수처리공정을 대상으로 조사하였다. 배출계수 산정을 위한 시료채취는 Flux Chamber를 이용하였으며, N$_2$O 정량은 6 port gas sampling valve가 장착된 Agilent사의 GC로 분석하였으며, 검출기는 ECD를 사용하였다. 하수처리공정별 오염물질 유입 부하에 대한 N$_2$O 배출계수 산정결과 5-stage공정은 0.94 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN으로 가장 낮았으며, 다음으로 활성슬러지공정이 2.65 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN, Denipho공정이 9.30 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN, 그리고 SBR공정이 26.73 g-N$_2$O/kg-TN으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 하수처리에서 N$_2$O 배출량 감소를 위해서는 조사대상 시설 중 5-stage 공정이 가장 적절한 것으로 평가하였다.
