Abstract

This study was conducted to verify the effect of chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) on odor reduction at a commercial swine facility consisting of a windowless piglet barn and a grower/fattening barn. The windowless piglet barn used a duct ventilation system. Air velocity at very below the upper duct was 4.53 m/s. Air velocity at the lower space around the living space of pigs in the grower/fattening barn was 0.26 m/s. $NH_3$ concentration was around 9ppm and less than 3 ppm before and after the $ClO_2$ spraying, respectively, which was over 70% reduction. There was no $H_2S$ detection. $NH_3$ concentrations measured in the windowless grower/fattening barn and at the exhausted air were 26 ppm and 11ppm, respectively. $NH_3$ concentration at a biocurtain outside was less than 1 ppm. Hence, $ClO_2$ spraying at windowless barns was effectively decreased malodor such as $NH_3$.

본 연구는 무창 자돈사 및 육성 비육돈사에 대한 악취 제어를 위하여 이산화염소 가스를 이용한 악취 제어 효율을 검증하고자 하였다. 본 실험은 일반농장에서 실시하였으며 실험결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 무창 자돈사는 환기시스템이 덕트입기 방식이어서 즉, 상부 덕트 바로 하부에서의 공기속도는 4.53 m/s로 나타나 입기구를 통하여 들어오는 공기에 의하여 돈방내 전체적인 공기의 흐름이 나타나 효과적으로 환기가 되었다. 그리고 무창 육성비육사는 공기속도의 분포 흐름은 돼지의 생활공간 (하부)에서는 0.26 m/s로 나타났다. 2. 무창 자돈사내부에서의 암모니아 가스는 이산화염소 가스를 분무하기 전에는 9 ppm 전후로 측정되었으나, 이산화염소 가스 분무후 돈사내 암모니아 농도는 3 ppm 이하로 나타나 70% 이상 저감되었지만 황화수소는 검출이 거의 되지 않았다. 3. 무창육성비육돈사의 환기시스템에 의한 유해가스 (암모니아)의 농도를 분석한 결과로써, 돈사내부는 $26mg/{\ell}$로 유지되었지만 돈사외부로 배출된 가스는 이산화염소 가스와 혼합되어 11 ppm으로 감소되었으며 바이오 커텐 외부에서의 측정 결과 1 ppm 이하로 측정되어 암모니아 가스가 거의 측정되지 않았다. 이상의 실험결과를 종합해 볼 때 무창 돈사에 있어서 이산화염소 가스 분무에 의한 돈사 내외부에서 암모니아 등의 악취를 외부에 휘산시키는 농도를 저하시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
