Abstract

The biological nutrient treatment is formed with repetition and rearrangement of anaerobic, anoxic and oxic tank. In this case, VFAs is generated in the anaerobic tank and the anoxic tank. The VFAs is an important factor for removal of nitrogen and phosphate and SVI. So, in this study I investigated to find a relationship among the generation rate of the VFAs according to the change of F/M ratio and the characteristic which can eliminate organic matter and nitrogen according to the change of residual concentration of the VFAs and the efficiency of the process and also SVI in wastewater treatment. $A^2/O$ process was used for wastewater treatment. F/M ratio was under the control of the change of MLSS concentration. When the F/M ratio was changed from 0.16 to 0.08 kg-BOD/kg-MLSS/day, the VFAs's production volume increased based on the reduction of F/M ratio in batch reaction. And the residual concentration of the VFAs decreased at first and then increased later. SVI and SS were high when F/M ratio was $0.16kg/kg{\cdot}d$ and showed stable status when F/M ratio decreased $0.11{\sim}0.13kg/kg{\cdot}d$. However, SVI and SS continuously increased with decrease of F/M ratio and were high at $0.08kg/kg{\cdot}d$. In the result of comparison between residual concentration of the VFAs and denitrification rate in anoxic tank, the less residual volume of the VFAs was in anoxic tank, the higher denitrification ratio became. The optimal residual-concentration of the VFAs considering SVI and removal efficiency of nitrogenwas $1.4{\sim}2.2mg/L$. At that time F/M ratio was $0.11{\sim}0.13$ kg-BOD/kg-MLSS/day.

생물학적 고도처리는 혐기, 무산소, 호기의 조건을 반복하거나 재배열함으로서 이루어지는데 이때 혐기조와 무산소조에서는 유기산이 발생한다. 여기서 발생한 유기산은 질소와 인의 제거와 슬러지침강성에 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하 폐수 고도처리 시 F/M비 변화에 따른 유기산의 발생정도와 잔류농도 변화와 기에 따른 유기물과 질소의 제거 특성과 처리효율 및 슬러지 침강성과의 관계를 모색하기 위해 특성을 검토 하였다. 고도처리를 위해 $A^2/O$ 공정을 사용하였고 MLSS의 농도의 변화로 F/M비를 조절하였다. F/M비를 $0.16{\sim}0.08$ kg-BOD/kg-MLSS/day로 변화 시켰을 때 F/M비에 감소에 따라 회분식 반응기에 의한 유기산의 생성량의 증가하였고 잔류 유기산 농도는 감소하였다가 증가하였다. F/M비가 $0.16kg/kg{\cdot}d$ 실험 조건에서 SVI와 SS는 높게 나타났으며 F/M비가 $0.11{\sim}0.13kg/kg{\cdot}d$로 높아짐에 따라 감소하여 양호한 상태를 보이다 F/M비가 증가함에 SVI와 SS도 지속적으로 증가하여 $0.08kg/kg{\cdot}d$에서 높은 SVI와 SS 농도를 나타내었다. 무산소조의 유기산 잔류 농도 그리고 탈질률을 비교한 결과 무산소조의 유기산 잔류량이 적을수록 탈질률은 증가하였다. 슬러지 침강성과 질소 제거효율을 고려한 최적의 유기산 잔류 농도는 $1.4{\sim}2.2$ mg/L이며 이때의 F/M비는 $0.11{\sim}0.13$ kg-BOD/kg-MLSS/day범위로 나타났다.
