Abstract

To improve wastewater treatment in a confectionery factory and to optimize chemical coagulation process, this study was performed. $COD_{Mn}$ and total solid of untreated wastewater were $200{\sim}820ppm\;and\;860{\sim}1350ppm$, respectively. Composition of total solid was sugar 40%, protein 10%, hexane-soluble 20%, and ash 30%. Turbidity at 650 nm and the amount of suspended solid (SS) showed correlation, thus turbidity could be used for the on-line measurement of SS. The most effective combination of coagulants for the removal of $COD_{Mn}$ and SS was that of $Al_2(SO_4)_3\;and\;Ca(OH)_2$. The optimal concentration of $Al_2(SO_4)_3\;and\;Ca(OH)_2$ was 480 ppm and 200 ppm, respectively. Optimal retention time of wastewater for $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ addition $Ca(OH)_2$ addition : flocculation was 2 : 2 : 10 min. Multiple treatment of $Al_2(SO_4)_3:Ca(OH)_2$ overcame coagulation inhibition by gelatin and detergent, and addition of microbial sludge reduced it.

제과회사 폐수처리의 화학적 응집공정을 최적화하기 위하여 이 연구를 수행하였다. 미처리 폐수의 $COD_{Mn}$과 총 고형분은 각각 $200{\sim}820ppm$과 $860{\sim}1360ppm$이었다. 폐수의 총 고형물의 성분은 당 40%, 단백질 10%, hexane-soluble 20%, 회분 30%였다. 650 nm에서의 turbidity와 suspended solid(SS)간에는 상관관계가 있었으므로, turbidity는 폐수의 on-line 측정도구로 사용할 수 있었다. 여러 응집제 중에서 $COD_{Mn}$과 SS 제거에 가장 효과적인 것은 $Al_2(SO_4)_3:Ca(OH)_2$의 조합 사용이었다. 최적의 $Al_2(SO_4)_3:Ca(OH)_2$ 농도는 480 ppm : 200 ppm이었다. 최적의 폐수처리 시간은$(Al_2(SO_4)_3$ 첨가 : $Ca(OH)_2$ 첨가 : 응집 숙성) 2 : 2 : 10분이었다. 이러 번의 $Al_2(SO_4)_3:Ca(OH)_2$ 처리공정은 gelatin과 계면활성제의 응집저해 현상을 극복할 수 있었으며, 미생물 슬러지의 첨가는 이 응집저해 물질들 제거에 도움이 되었다.
