Abstract
The study was performed to evaluate the effects of chloride concentrations on the ultimate aerobic biodegradability and to use the result as the fundamental data for sea food wastewater treatment. When the organic removal efficiency by chloride concentrations (1,400~18,000 mg/L) was evaluated, microbes adapted to the saline at ${\leq}$ 6,000 mg/L of chloride but treatment efficiency was not improved at ${\geq}$ 12,000 mg/L of chloride because of delayed reaction time. Functional coefficient $Y_I$ of non-biodegradable soluble organic and inert material production coefficient Yp by microbe metabolism increased as chloride concentrations increased. Soluble organic matter ratio by chloride concentration (0~18,000 mg/L) was 10.8~13.1%, inert material production efficiency by microbes metabolism was evaluated as 7.0~24.6%. $NH_3$-N removal efficiencies were 96.2, 96.5, 90.2 and 90.3% using original wastewater HRT 18 hr, 6,000 mg/L chloride concentration HRT 22 hr, 12,000 mg/L chloride concentration HRT 30 hr, and 18,000 mg/L chloride concentration HRT 45 hr, respectively. Nitrification process was more sensitive to salt concentration than organic matter removal to salt concentration. Under ${\geq}$ 6,000 mg/L chloride concentration, conversion rate from $NO_s$-N to $NO_2$-N was low.
본 논문은 염분농도가 호기성 생분해도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 그 결과를 수산물 가중 폐수 처리 위한 기초자료로 사용하기 위하여 수행되었다. $Cl^-$농도(1,400~18,000 mg/L)에 따른 유기물 제거효율 검토결과, $Cl^-$ 6,000 mg/L 이하에서 미생물들은 염분에 적응하였으나 $Cl^-$ 12,000 mg/L 이상에서는 반응시간이 길어져도 처리효율이 개선되지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 생물학적 분해불가능한 용존성 유기물 함유계수 $Y_I$와 미생물 신진대사에 의한 inert 물질 생성계수 Yp는 염분농도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, $Cl^-$ 농도(0~18,000 mg/L)에 따른 용존성 유기물 비율은 10.8~13.1%로, 미생물 신진대사에 의한 inert 물질 생성비율은 7.0~24.6%로 조사되었다. $NH_3$-N 제거효율은, 원폐수는 HRT 18 hr에서 96.2%의 제거효율을 보였으나, $Cl^-$ 6,000 mg/L, HRT 22 hr에서 96.5%, $Cl^-$ 12,000 mg/L, HRT 30 hr에서 90.2%, $Cl^-$ 18,000 mg/L, HRT 45 hr에서 90.3%의 제거효율을 나타내, 질산화 과정이 유기물 제거 보다 염분농도에 더 민감한 것으로 조사되었으며, 폐수내 $Cl^-$ 6,000 mg/L 이상부터는 $NO_2$-N에서 $NO_3$-N로의 전환율도 낮게 조사되었다.
