Abstract

Pharmaceutical byproduct sludge and cosmetic industry wastewater sludge can be used as a raw material of compost. Effects of three types of pharmaceutical byproduct sludge and one type of cosmetic industry wastewater sludge on soil properties and red pepper growth were investigated in a field based concrete pot ($2{\times}2m$). These sludges and pig manure ($5Mg\;ha^{-1}$, dry basis) were incorporated into the upper of loam soil 30 days prior to transplanting red pepper. Changes in soil properties and contents of heavy metals and toxic organic compounds in soil and plant were measured. And also plant growth measurement and bioassay of soil phytotoxicity were included. Contents of heavy metals were increased in the soils treated with the sludges. Plant growth in the sludge treatments were mostly inferior to that of NPK treatment, especially in early stage. Content of N in plant was lower in all sludge treatments at early and middle growth stages, and it was especially caused by characteristics and concentration of nitrogen and organic matter of sludges. Total yield of red pepper was highest in the NPK treatment and followed by pharmaceutical sludge 3, pig manure, pharmaceutical sludge 1, and pharmaceutical sludge 2, and the yield of cosmetic sludge treatment was considerably lower than others. HEM and PAHs contents in soil of cosmetic sludge treatment were $4.80mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $2,263.2{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. Root elongation of lettuce exposed to the water extract of soil treated with cosmetic sludge was about 20% of that found in the test with soil extract of non fertilization treatment. At present, raw materials of compost were authorized according to the contents of organic matter, heavy metals and product processing. Toxic organic compounds analysis and bioassay would be helpful for authorization and assessment of suitability of raw materials of compost.

본 연구는 퇴비의 원료로 지정된 제약업종 공정오니 및 화장품 제조업 폐수처리오니를 시용한 후 고추를 재배하여 생육과 적과수량, 시기별로 토양 및 식물체 중 중금속 함량과 유해 유기화합물을 조사하였고, 시기별 토양에 대해 생물검정을 실시하였다. 토양 중 유기물 및 질소는 시험재료의 성분함량이 높은 처리구에서 높았다. 토양 중금속 전함량의 경우 Zn, Cr, Ni은 생육기간 동안 변화가 거의 없었으며, Cu, Pb, As, Cd은 수확기에 갑자기 함량이 증가하였고, 1 N HCl 가용함량에서는 Cd, As를 제외하고는 생육시기에 따른 함량의 차이는 없었다. 고추의 생육은 초기에는 오니구에서 화학비료구보다 전반적으로 불량하였는데, 이는 유기물 함량이 높고 질소함량이 낮아서 생육 후기까지 회복되지 못하였기 때문인 것으로 보였다. 고추 잎과 줄기의 질소함량은 생육 초기 및 중기에 모든 오니 처리구에서 낮았고, 수확기에 제약오니 1구에서 높았던 것은 이들 시험재료의 유기물 및 질소성분의 함량과 특성에 기인된 것으로 보였다. 식물체 중 중금속 함량에서 잎은 As 성분을 제외하고 다른 성분들은 생육 초기 및 중기에 함량이 높았다가 수확기에 감소하였으며, 줄기는 전 성분이 수확기에 감소하는 경향이었다. 고추의 총 적과수량은 화학비료>제약오니 3>돈분>제약오니 1>제약오니 2구 순으로 낮아졌으며, 화장품오니구는 타 처리구보다 상당히 감소하였다. 화장품오니구의 HEM 함량은 $4.80g\;kg^{-1}$, PAHs 함량은 $2,263.2{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$으로 다른 처리구보다 월등히 높았고, 생물검정법의 일환인 상추종자 유근신장 조사에서는 화장품 오니구가 무처리구에 비해 20% 이상 낮은 신장율을 보였다.
