본 연구에서는 혐기조 및 무산소조, 호기조로 구성된 상향류식 고정상 담체 반응장치와 호기조로 고정상 담체 대신에 유동상 담체를 사용한 Loop Reactor로 이루어진 장치에서 생활하수를 이용하여 성능실험을 수행한 후 HRT에 따른 유기물 및 T-N, T-P 등 오염물질의 제거 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 두 반응기 모두 평균 BOD 제거율과 SS 제거율은 HRT가 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 HRT 16 h 이상에서는 일정한 수치를 나타내고 있으며 HRT 16 h에서 고정상 담체 반응기와 Loop Reactor의 평균 BOD 제거율은 각각 86.6%, 90.9%이었으며 평균 SS 제거율은 각각 78.0%, 88.2%로 Loop Reactor의 경우가 각각 4.3%, 10.2% 의 더 높은 BOD와 SS 제거율을 나타내었다. 또한 평균 CODCr 제거율 및 평균 CODMn 제거율은 BOD와 SS 제거율과 마찬가지로 HRT가 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 HRT 16 h에서 일정한 수치를 나타내고 있으며 고정상 담체 반응기와 Loop Reactor의 평균 CODCr 거율은 각각 63.5%, 75.2%이었으며 평균 CODMn 제거율은 각각 60.7%, 73.6%로 Loop Reactor의 경우가 11.7%, 12.9% 더 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. 반면에 평균 T-N 제거율 및 T-P 제거율은 두 반응기 모두 HRT가 증가함에 따라 제거율은 계속 증가하는 양상을 보여주고 있으며 HRT 16 h에서 Loop Reactor의 경우 평균 T-N 제거율 및 평균 T-P 제거율은 각각 33.6%, 54.5%로 고정상 담체 반응기보다 14.1%, 10.8%의 더 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에서 Loop Reactor가 성능이 훨씬 더 우수하였으며 최적 HRT는 16 h임을 알 수 있었다. This study was accomplished using Anaerobic/Anoxic/Oxic upflow packed-bed column reactors with fixed media and Loop Reactor with fluidized media instead of Oxic reactor. The objectives of this study was to investigate the characteristics of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus removal from sewage with the HRT. The average removal efficiencies of BOD5 and SS increase as increasing the hydraulic retention time (HRT) until 16 h of the HRT, and they were constant over 16 h of the HRT. The removal efficiency of BOD5 in case of packed-bed reactor and Loop Reactor was about 86.6% and 90.9% respectively at 16 h of the HRT. The removal efficiency of SS in packed-bed reactor and Loop Reactor was about 78.0% and 88.2% respectively at 16 h of the HRT. The average removal efficiencies of CODCr and CODMn showed similar trends as hose of BOD5 and SS. At the HRT of 16 h, the removal efficiency of CODCr in case of packed-bed reactor and Loop Reactor was 63.5%, 75.2% and that of CODMn was 60.7%, 73.6% respectively. The average removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P increase as increasing the HRT. The removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P in Loop Reactor were 33.6% and 54.5% respectively at 16 h of the HRT and T-N and T-P were better removed in Loop Reactor. From this result, it was found that the performance of Loop Reactor was much higher than the performance of packed-bed reactor and the optimum HRT was 16 h.

Byung Chul Kang(강병철) 한국생명과학회 2011 생명과학회지 Vol.21 No.1

β-galactosidase를 공유결합으로 키토산 담체에 고정화하여 고정화 효소의 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 충진층 반응기에서 연속 조업을 실시하여 공정 최적화를 실시하였다. 키토산 담체에 대한 효소 고정화 효율은 최대 75%을 나타내었다. 고정화 효소에 대한 최적의 pH는 7.0이었고 최적의 온도는 50℃였다. pH와 온도의 실험 범위에서 고정화 효소가 자유 효소에 비해 넓은 분포를 보여 pH와 온도에 덜 민감하게 작용하였다. 충진층 반응기에서 고정화 효소의 운전에 대한 수학적 모델을 세우고 수치적으로 해를 구하였다. 투입되는 유당의 농도와 유량에 대해서 충진층 반응기의 출구에서 유당의 전환율을 측정하였다. 실험 결과를 경쟁적 저해 효소 반응식과 물질전달 저항을 고려한 수학적 모델의 결과와 비교하였다. 모델의 결과는 실험 결과를 5% 이내의 오차로 잘 예측하였다. 그리고 충진층 반응기의 길이에 따른 유당 전환율과 연속운전 시간에 따른 효소의 비활성화를 고려한 전환율을 모델로부터 예측하였다. β-Galactosidase was immobilized on chitosan bead by covalent bonding using glutaraldehyde. The characteristics of the immobilized enzyme were investigated. Maximum immobilization yield of 75% was obtained on chitosan bead. Optimum pH and temperature for the immobilized enzyme was 7.0 and 50℃, respectively. The immobilized enzyme showed a broader range of pH and temperature compared to a free one. A mathematical model for the operation of the immobilized enzyme in a packed-bed reactor was established and solved numerically. Under different inlet lactose concentrations and feed flow rate conditions, lactose conversion was measured in a packed-bed reactor. The experimental results of continuous operation in a packed-bed reactor were compared to theoretic results using Michaelis-Menten kinetics with competitive product inhibition and external mass transfer resistance. The model predicted the experimental data with errors less than 5%. Process optimization of continuous operation in a packed-bed reactor was also conducted. In a recirculation packed-bed operation, conversion of lactose was 97% in 3 hours. In a continuous packed-bed operation, the effect of flow rate and initial lactose concentration was investigated. Increasing flow rates and initial lactose concentration decreased the conversion of substrate.

오광근,이철우,전영중,이재홍 한국미생물생명공학회 ( 구 한국산업미생물학회 ) 1996 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.24 No.6

홍색비유황 광합성세균인 Rhodopseudomonas capsulata를 선택하여 porous ceramic bead를 충진시킨 충진형 반응기(Packed-bed reactor, PBR)와 분말활성탄을 현탁시킨 유동산 반응기(Fluidized-bed reactor, FBR)에서 미생물막을 형성하여 폐수처리를 비교한 결과 PBR이 FBR보다 BOD 부하량 변화에 더 안정적인 처리성을 보였다. 체류시간 (hydraulic retention time, HRT)에 따른 처리성은 유입폐수 농도를 각각 BOD 10,000, 20,000 mg/ℓ로 하였을 때, HRT 1일 이상에서 90% 이상의 처리효율을 가지며, 유출수의 BOD 농도는 각각 350, 800 mg/ℓ이었다. PBR에서 유입수의 BOD 농도변화에 다른 유출수의 농도를 측정하여 단위부피당 기질부하량 상수 (maximum specific BOD loading rate, P) 및 부착미생물 포화기질 제한농도 상수(half saturation constant, K_6)를 구한 결과, 각각 22.2 gBOD/ℓ·day, 1,750 mgBOD/ℓ이었고, 처리효율 90% 이상을 나타내는 BOD 용적부하(volumetric BOD loading rate)는 20 gBOD/ℓ·day 이상으로 표준활성오니법의 0.6 gBOD/ℓ·day에 비하여 30배가 넘는 값을 나타내었다. An efficient packed-bed type biofilm reactor charged with immobilized phototrophs was developed to treat organic wastewater at an extremely high volumetric loading rate. The packed bed reactor (PBR) charged with porous ceramic beads was superior to a fluidized-bed reactor suspended with activated carbon powders in terms of many aspects such as BOD removal efficiency, operational stability, and overall economics. For wastewater with BOD concentration as high as 20,000 mg/l, the BOD removal efficiency was maintained above 90% when the hydraulic retention time (HRT) was longer than 1 day. The allowable volumetric BOD loading rate of this reactor (20gBOD/l·day) is more than ten-folds higher than that of an ordinary activated sludge method. The behaviour of the reactor was represented well by a Monod type kinetic equation with a maximum specific BOD loading rate(P) of 22.2gBOD/l·day and a half saturation constant(K_s) of 1,750 mgBOD/l.

Kim, Dong Jin,Chang, Ho Nam 한국산업미생물학회 1990 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.18 No.5

식물세포인 Lithospermum erythrorhizon을 교반 반응기와 calcium alghinate에 고정화된 상태로 충전층 반응기에서 n-hexadecane으로 동시 추출하면서 shikonin을 생산하여 각각의 생산성을 비교하였다. 교반 반응기에서 shikonin의 비생산과 부피생산성은 각각 1.5㎎ shikonin/g cell과 400㎍ shikonin/(L·day)였고 충전층 반응기에서는 각각 2.0㎎ shikonin/g cell과 2857㎍ shikonin/(L·day)였으며 이는 각각 교반 반응기에 비하여 1.3, 7.1배 높은 것이다. 충전층 반응기에서 shikonin의 생산성이 높은 것은 calcium alginate 입자에 세포가 고농도로 축적되어 단위 반응기 부피당 세포의 부하 능력이 높고 또한 세포가 서로 접촉하기가 쉽고 고정화 입자내의 환경이 세포가 분화하기에 좋은 조건을 형성하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. Plant cell cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon were performed in stirred tank and packed-bed reactors with in situ extraction by n-hexadecane. The specific shikonin production and volumetric shikonin productivity of stirred tank reactor reached 1.5 ㎎ shikonin/g cell and 400 ㎍ shikonin/(L.day), respectively. In packed-bed reactor with calcium alginate-immobilized cells specific shikonin production and volumetric productivity reached 2.0 ㎎ shikonin/g cell and 2857 ㎍ shikonin/(L.day), which were 1.3 and 7.1 times higher than those of stirred tank reactor, respectively. The higher shikonin production and productivity of packed-bed reactor seemed to be due to high cell loading capacity of calcium alginate immobilized cells in packed-bed reactor and improved cell-cell contact.

This work investigated the characteristics of a packed-bed plasma reactor system and the performances of the plasma reactors connected in series or in parallel for the decomposition of ethylene. Before the discharge ignition, the effective capacitance of the γ-alumina packed-bed plasma reactor was larger than that of the reactor without any packing, but after the ignition the effective capacitance was similar to each other, regardless of the packing. The energy of electrons created by plasma depends mainly on the electric field intensity, and was not significantly affected by the gas composition in the range of 0~20% (v/v) oxygen (nitrogen : 80~100% (v/v)). Among the various reactive species generated by plasma, ground-state atomic oxygen and ozone are understood to be primarily involved in oxidation reactions, and as the electric field intensity increases, the amount of ground-state atomic oxygen relatively decreases while that of nitrogen atom increases. Even though there are many parameters affecting the performance of the plasma reactor such as a voltage, discharge power, gas flow rate and residence time, all parameters can be integrated into a single parameter, namely, specific input energy (SIE). It was experimentally confirmed that the performances of the plasma reactors connected in series or in parallel could be treated as a function of SIE alone, which simplifies the scale-up design procedure. Besides, the ethylene decomposition results can be predicted by the calculation using the rate constant expressed as a function of SIE.

$BaTiO_3$-슬러지 Packed-bed형 반응기에서 $NO_x$제거에 미치는 슬러지의 영향

박재윤,송원섭,고희석,박상현 한국전기전자재료학회 2001 전기전자재료학회논문지 Vol.14 No.10

In this paper, in order to investigate the catalytic effect of the sludge exhausted from waterworks on NO$_{x}$ removal, we measure NO removal characteristics with and without sludge pellets in BaTiO$_3$-sludge packed-bed reactor of plate-plate geometry. NO initial concentration is 50 ppm balanced with air and a gas flow rate is 5ι/min. Gas temperature is changed from 25 to 10$0^{\circ}C$ to investigate the role of sludge pellet on removing active oxygen species and NO$_2$. BaTiO$_3$pellets is filled for coronal discharge at upstream of reactor and sludge pellets is filled for catalytic effect at downstream of reactor. The volume percent of sludge pellets to BaTiO$_3$pellets is changed from 0% to 100% and AC voltage is supplied to the reactor for discharging simulated gases. In the results, when sludge pellets is put at the downstream of plasma reactor, NO removal rate is slightly increased. However, NO$_2$and $O_3$ as by-products during NO removal is significantly decreased from 51ppm without sludge pellets to 5 ppm with sludge pellets and from 50 ppm without sludge pellets to 0.004ppm with sludge pellets, respectively. Therefore, NO$_{x}$(NO+NO$_2$) removal rate is increased up to 93%. It is thought that sludge pellet maybe react with active oxygen species and NO$_2$ generated by corona discharge in surface of BaTiO$_3$pellets, the then NO$_2$O$_3$as by-products are considerably decreased. When we increase gas temperature from room temperature to 10$0^{\circ}C$, NO removal rate is decreased, while NO$_2$ concentration is independent on gas temperature. These result suggest that the removal mechanism of active oxygen species and NO$_2$in sludge pellet is not absorption, but chemical reaction. Therefore we expect that sludge pellets exhausted for waterworks could be used as catalyst for NO$_{x}$ removal with high removal rate and low by-product.oduct.

김응복,김동욱,정영식,최충석,김용하 한국안전학회 2001 한국안전학회지 Vol.16 No.3

The removal characteristics of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by the dielectric ($Al_2O_3$) packed-bed plasma reactor are experimentally investigated Reactor is packed with 5[mm] diameter $Al_2O_3$ beads, and was desisted to remove NOx at atmospheric pressures from the moving pollution source such as diesel automobile. The experiments were conducted for applied voltages from 5 to 10[kV], flue gas rate from 2 to 5[l/min] and frequency from 0.5 to 2[kHz]. The NOx removal efficiency significantly increasing with increasing applied voltage. Especially removal rate significantly increased with increasing frequency. However, in this experiment discharged poler n relatively high.

우리가 생활하는 거의 모든 곳에서 발생하는 슬러지(sludge)는 악취, 토양오염 등 많은 문제점을 가지고 있으며, 대부분의 폐기물은 매립 또는 소각에 의해 처리되고 있으나 슬러지의 경우 두 가지 방법 모두 심각한 문제점을 가지고 있어, 대체 처리방법의 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 그 슬러지를 NOx제거용 촉매 펠렛(Pellet)재료로 재활용하기 위한 가능성을 타진하기 위하여 수돗물 정수장에서 발생되는 슬러지로 펠렛을 제작하여 $BaTiO_3$ 펠렛과 하이브리드 구조로 NOx제거용 플라즈마 반응기를 제작하였고, specific energy, 전압인가 방법, 슬러지의 양, 산소농도 변화에 따른 NOx제거 특성을 측정하고 슬러지 펠렛의 영향을 측정하고 분석하였다. The catalytic effect of waterworks sludge on NOx removal in $BaTiO_3$pellets and sludge pellets combined packed-bed plasma reactor with plate-plate electrode geometry is measured for the various conditions. NOx removal rate is about 90[%] at $BaTiO_3$-sludge combined reactor used fresh sludge. $NO_2$ and $O_3$ as byproducts are significantly generated in only $BaTiO_3$ packed-bed plasma reactor, however, in $BaTiO_3$-sludge combined packed-bed reactor, $NO_2$ and $O_3$ are completely removed while $CO_2$ as by-products are observed from FTIR spectra. $NO_2$ and $O_3$ seem to react with metallic molecules, metal oxide, and organic compounds that are generally chlorophyll included in sludge. NOx removal rate increases with $O_2$ concentration increasing. Removal rates $NO_2$ and $O_3$ are independent of operating time and repetition measurement times.

염색폐수 처리성능에 대한 호기성 고정 및 유동층 생물막공법과 회전매체를 가진 완전혼합 활성슬러지 공법의 비교연구

김홍태,김규창 한국환경과학회 1999 한국환경과학회지 Vol.8 No.4

This study was conducted to evaluate capability of dyeing wastewater treatment for 3 type reactors. These reactors were Packed Bed Reactor(PBR), Fluidized Bed reactor(FBR) and Moving Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge reactor(MMCMAS). Experiments of PBR and FBR were performed by various packing ratios and organic loading rates, experiments of MMCMAS were performed by various organic loading rates In order to obtain SBOD_5 removal efficiencies of more than 90%, the F/Mv ratios of PBR, FBR, MMCMAS were 0.11 ㎏BOD/㎏MLVSS·d, 0.12 ㎏BOD/㎏MLVSS·d, and 0.37 ㎏BOD/㎏MLVSS·d, respectively. So MMCMAS system which has more active microorganisms showed better capability of organic removal and also stronger dynamic and shock loadings than those of PBR and FBR. In PBR and FBR, the media packing ratio of 20% showed better performance of organic matters removal effciencies than 10% and 30%, but sludge production rate at media packing ratio of 30% was relatively lower than that of 10% and 20%. When more than 90% organic matters removal efficiency was obtained, the ratios of attached biomass to total biomass at PBR, FBR, MMCMAS were 89∼99%, 87∼98%, and 54∼80%, respectvely. The ratio of attached biomass to total biomass was low in MMCMAS. This was formation of thin biofilm due to shear force between rotating disc and water. The average sludge production rates(㎏VSS/㎏BODrem.) of PBR, FBR and MMCMAS were 0.20, 0.29 and 0.54, respectively.

Lim, Seong-Jin,Ahn, Yeong-Hee,Kim, Eun-Young,Chang, Ho-Nam The Korean Society for Biotechnology and Bioengine 2006 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.11 No.6

A packed bed reactor (PBR) was fed with nitrate containing synthetic wastewater or effluent from a sequencing batch reactor used for nitrification. The C source introduced into the PBR consisted of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced from anaerobic acidogenesis of food wastes. When nitrate loading rates ranged from $0.50\;to\;1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, the PBR exhibited $100{\sim}98.8%\;NO_{3}^{-}-N$ removal efficiencies and nitrite concentrations in the effluent ranged from $0\;to\;0.6\;NO_{2}^{-}-N\;mg/L$. When the PBR was further investigated to determine nitrate removal activity along the bed height using a nitrate loading rate less than $1.01\;kg\;N/m^{3}{\cdot}d$, 100% nitrate removal efficiency was observed. Approximately 83.2% nitrate removal efficiency was observed in the lower 50% of the packed-bed height. When reactor performance at a C/N ratio of 4 and a C/N ratio of 5 was compared, the PBR showed better removal efficiency (96.5%) of nitrate and less nitrite concentration in the effluent at the C/N ratio of 5. VFAs were found to be a good alternative to methanol as a carbon source for denitrification of a municipal wastewater containing 40 mg-N/L.
