Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of OH radicals on organic matter oxidation and suspended solids removal using microbubble as a pre-treatment technique to reduce the organic load of night soil in connection with sewage. The experiment was conducted for three months at HRT 4 hours using pressurized type microbubble generator. The mean SS removal efficiency was achieved 71%. The average removal efficiency of $TCOD_{Cr}$, TBOD, TN and TP were achieved for 51.5%, 47.9%, and 14.7% respectively, as scum and SS were removed by flotation separation. The removal efficiency of soluble organic matters were 25.0%, 17.1% for $SCOD_{Cr}$, SBOD by air microbubble supply. Soluble nitrogen and phosphorus were removed average of 11.9% and 7.4%, respectively. As s result, it was confirmed that soluble organic matters were removed by air microbubble supplied. Generated OH radicals when the microbubble was collapsed, can decompose the soluble organic matters. Therefore, The microbubble flotation process was installed at the front of night soil treatment process, it will contribute to the stable operation of the subsequent biological treatment facility by oxidation of the dissolved organic matters as well as removal of SS by flotation separation.

본 연구는 하수와 연계처리 되고 있는 분뇨의 유기물부하를 저감시킬 수 있는 전처리기술로서 마이크로버블을 이용하여 OH radical에 의한 유기물 산화 및 부유물질 저감 효과를 검토하였다. 가압식 마이크로버블 발생장치를 이용하여 생분뇨를 4시간의 HRT로 3개월간 연속 실험하였다. 마이크로버블을 이용하여 분뇨를 부상처리할 경우 SS 제거율은 평균 71.0%이었으며, 부상분리에 의한 스컴 및 고형물질이 제거됨에 따라 $TCOD_{Cr}$, TBOD, 총질소, 총인의 제거율은 각각 평균 51.5%, 47.9%, 17.1%, 14.7%로 나타났다. OH radical에 의한 용존성 유기물질의 분해능을 검토한 결과, $SCOD_{Cr}$의 경우 평균 25.0% 제거되었고 SBOD의 경우 평균 17.1% 제거되었다. 용존성 질소와 인은 각각 평균 11.9% 및 7.4% 정도 제거됨으로써 수중에서 마이크로버블이 소멸되면서 발생되는 OH radical의 강력한 산화력에 의하여 용존성 유기물질들이 제거됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 분뇨처리공정 전단부에 마이크로버블 부상조를 설치할 경우 부상분리에 의한 고형물 제거는 물론 용존성 유기물질의 산화에 의하여 후속 생물학적 처리시설의 안정적 운영에 충분한 기여를 할 것으로 판단된다.
