Abstract

This study was conducted with the experiment of solubilisation of excess sludge by microbubble ozone process. To improve ozone contact efficiency, microbubble ozones which its diameter were the avearge 30 ${\mu}m$, microbubble size less than 40 ${\mu}m$ occupied about over 90% of all. In treating sludge using microbubble ozones, in case microbubble ozones are injected at microbubble ozone dosage of 0.34 g $O_3/g$ SS or less regardless of sludge concentration, microbubble ozone consumption rate was found to be 100% with no emission of waste ozones. In treating sludges by each concentration, in case the initial SS concentration of sludge is set to 6,447 mg/L, 5,557 mg/L, 3,180 mg/L, 1,092 mg/L and 515 mg/L, the amount of removed SS tended to increase with increase in initial SS concentration for the same microbubble ozone dosage, and treatment of sludge with high initial SS concentration was effective in raising the oxidation efficiency of microbubble ozones. On the other hand, as a result of reviewing acid, alkali and microbubble ozone treatment as composite treatment of sludge, use of acid treatment for the pre-treatment of microbubble ozone was more effective than alkali treatment, and in case of treatment at microbubble ozone dosage 0.05g $O_3/g$ SS with the concentration of sulfuric acid infused in the sludge, the amount of removed SS, 153.9 g, was 1.9 times more than 81.2 g the amount of single treatment of microbubble ozone.

본 연구에서는 오존을 이용한 잉여슬러지의 가용화 실험을 실시하였다. 오존의 접촉효율을 높이기 위해 마이크로버블화된 오존(이하 마이크로버블 오존이라 함)을 이용하였으며, 생성된 마이크로버블 오존의 사이즈는 평균 직경 30 ${\mu}m$ 정도였고, 40 ${\mu}m$ 이하가 전체의 약 90% 정도를 나타내었다. 마이크로버블 오존을 이용한 슬러지 처리에 있어서는 슬러지 농도에 상관없이 오존주입율을 0.34 g $O_3/g$ SS 이하로 주입할 경우, 폐오존의 발생 없이 오존소모율이 100%인 것으로 조사되었다. 각 농도별 슬러지 처리에 있어서 슬러지의 초기 SS 농도를 6,447 mg/L, 5,557 mg/L, 3,180 mg/L, 1,092 mg/L 및 515mg/L로 하였을 경우, 동일한 오존주입율에 있어서 초기 SS의 농도가 증가할수록 제거되는 SS량이 증가하는 경향을 나타내어, 오존의 산화효율을 높이기 위해서는 초기 SS의 농도가 높은 슬러지를 처리하는 것이 효과적이었다. 한편, 슬러지의 복합 처리로서 산과 알칼리 그리고 오존처리를 검토한 결과, 오존의 전처리로서 산처리를 이용하는 것이 알칼리처리에 비해 효과적이었으며, 슬러지에 주입하는 황산의 농도를 0.01 N로 하고, 오존주입율 0.05 g $O_3/g$ SS로 처리한 경우, 제거된 SS의 양은 153.9 g으로 오존단독처리시 81.2 g에 비해 1.9배의 많은 양이 제거되었다.
