Abstract

Nitrite and free ammonia have been known as substrate inhibitors in anaerobic ammonium oxidation. To reduce inhibitory effect of these substrates, the NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N ratio in the influent could be properly controlled in anaerobic ammonium oxidation process. Five kinds of NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N ratio were assayed in batch to find optimum NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N ratio, curtailing substrate inhibition. As the results of batch test, the highest T-N removal efficiency of 88% was obtained at 1.00 : 1.30 of NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N ratio. In addition, rate constants for ammonium and nitrite in zero-order kinetics were found to be the highest values as 7.66 mg/L$\cdot$hr and 11.89 mg/L$\cdot$hr at 1.00 : 1.30 ratio, respectively. However, as for the specific anammox activity, the ratio of NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N ratio was recommended as 1 : 1.15 which can maintain the highest SAA during continuous operation and preclude the accumulation of nitrite in the reactor.

혐기성 암모니아 산화공정에서 nitrite는 저해인자로 잘 알려져 있고, 최근에는 유리 암모니아 역시 anammox bacteria에 저해 영향을 주는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 유입수의 암모니아와 아질산의 비율이 연속운전에서 효과적인 질소제거에 중요한 인자가 되며, 연속운전 반응기에서는 유리 암모니아와 아질산의 축적을 방지하기 위해 유입수의 NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N-N비를 조절할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다섯 가지 종류의 NH$_3$-N/NO$_2$-N-N비를 회분식 실험을 통해 잔류 암모니아성 질소와 아질산성 질소의 농도를 최소화하는 비를 조사하였다. 회분식 실험 결과 실험 26시간 후에 1.00 : 1.30의 비에서 88%에 달하는 총질소 제거율이 나타났다. 그리고 혐기성 암모늄 산화 반응은 0차 반응을 나타내었고, 암모니아와 아질산의 반응 속도상수는 1.00 : 1.30의 비에서 각각 7.66 mg/L$\cdot$hr과 11.89 mg/L$\cdot$hr로 가장 높게 나타났다. 혐기성 암모늄 산화균 활성도를 측정해본 결과 1.00 : 1.15의 비에서 미생물의 활성도가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 회분식 실험의 결과를 통해, 이론적 반응비과 비슷한 1.00:1.30에서는 반응속도가 크고 총질소 제거율도 높은 반면 혐기성 암모늄 산화균은 이론적 반응비보다 다소 낮은 아질산 농도에서 안정하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
