WASTE AND SUPERNATANT WATER OF FOOD WASTE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an efficient and economical purification
method by which landfill leachate of household waste containing high concentration
nitrogen and supernatant water produced in a treatment process of food waste are
mixed and treated.
BACKGROUND ART
Generally, unlike ordinary household sewage having an almost constant
characteristic of water quality, the characteristic of water quality of leachate
produced in a landfill of household waste appears in a variety of forms according to
the type and amount of filling waste, the shape of the landfill, the method of
reclamation, the amount of rainfall, climate conditions, and the degree of hardening,
in particular, with the passage of the reclamation period, organic materials gradually
decrease, thereby changing the non-biodegradable state in which it is difficult for
biodegradation to happen, while nitrogen increases. Accordingly, the leachate
becomes waste water which is very difficult to be treated in a single treatment
process.
In relation to a method of purifying the landfill leachate of household waste, a
method of using microorganisms for effective treatment of high concentration
nitrogen included in the leachate is generally used. In order to use the nitrogen
treatment by microorganisms, the concentration ratio of organic materials to total
nitrogen (biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)/T-N) should be maintained at least 3 ~
5. However, in the case of landfill leachate of household waste which is over three
years old, the concentration ratio is mostly equal to or less than 1, which is very low,
and a large amount of an organic carbon source should be provided in order to
perform an appropriate nitrogen treatment. However, since methanol which is
generally used as an organic carbon source is expensive, the overall treatment cost
of leachate increases. Also, in the early stage up to 1 or 2 years after reclamation
begins, the BOD/COD ratio indicating the possibility of biological treatment
(degradation by microorganisms) is maintained to be equal to or greater than 0.4,
and the concentration of organic materials shows its maximum value. Here, COD is
chemical oxygen demand. Accordingly, the state is appropriate for being treated by
microorganisms. However, with the passage of time since the reclamation, the
concentration of nitrogen increases due to ammonia nitrogen produced in the
degradation process of household waste, while the concentration of organic
materials decreases instead due to natural degradation reaction in the landfill itself.
In terms of the structure of the whole organic materials, the share of organic
materials that can be biologically treated decreases, while the share of recalcitrant
organic materials increases. Accordingly, normal nitrogen treatment by
microorganisms is made to be difficult as a whole.
As a technology for solving these problems, a technology for removing
nitrified nitrogen by using an organic carbon source included in waste water inflowing
into a sump has been disclosed in Korean Patent No. 432645. However, only with
the organic carbon source in waste water, organic materials (BOD) are not enough,
and therefore nitrogen cannot be sufficiently removed. Also, a technology for
introducing methanol as an external carbon source in order to supplement an
organic carbon source which is not enough in the waste water, has been disclosed in
Korean Patent No. 436043, but as described above, all amounts of methanol are
depending on import at present and the price is also expensive, mainly causing the
overall leachate treatment cost to rise.
Accordingly, methods of using waste terephthalic acid (TPA), and sugar
manufacturing wastewater that can replace expensive methanol as an external
carbon source for removing nitrogen included in leachate by using microorganisms
have been studied. However, the waste TPA is in a solid form and in order to use
this as an external carbon source, a separate storage and solution apparatuses are
required, and in addition, when it is solved, an increase in pH through inputting a
predetermined amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is required. Also, since the
sugar manufacturing wastewater is generated in a small volume, and therefore it is
difficult to provide it stably. In addition, installation of a separate supplying facility is
required and inputting of the sugar manufacturing wastewater causes color to
increase. Meanwhile, in supernatant water of food waste, the concentration of
organic materials is very high as illustrated in table 1, including a BOD of 100,000
mg/L, a COD of 150,000 mg/L, a T-N (total nitrogen) of 3,000 mg/L, and solid
materials of 150,000 mg/L, and the degree of contamination degree is very high
compared to the landfill leachate of household waste.
Table 1
Comparison for characteristics of the quality of water between supernatant water of
food waste and landfill leachate of household waste

The supernatant water of food waste is analyzed as a mixture of supernatant
water produced in a liquid storing pit, primary and secondary dewatering filtrates,
and supernatant water produced in centrifugal concentrator.
If the conventional biological treatment methods such as an anaerobic
digestion method and an activated sludge method, which are used to treat livestock
wastewater, excretions and leachate, are used as a method of treating the
supernatant water of food waste, it is difficult to maintain appropriate breeding
conditions for bacteria which is aerobic microorganisms and aerobic nitrification
bacteria such as nitrosomonas and nitrobacter, as well as anaerobic digestion
bacteria such as acid ferment bacteria and methanogens due to the excessive
amount of inflowing load. Also, a problem that due to solid materials of up to 150,000
mg/L it is difficult to maintain the oxygen concentration of 3 ~ 5 mg/L required for
treating aerobic microorganisms has been pointed out. In addition, the biological
treatment such as anaerobic digestion and activated sludge, non-biodegradable
COD of equal to or greater than 3,000 mg/L and color of equal to or over 1,000
degree remain, thereby requiring a separate chemicophysical treatment such as
chemical condensation, oxidation, activated carbon adsorption, and reverse osmosis.
Accordingly, it is very difficult to treat leachate produced from food waste solely with
the conventional treatment method. As a result, most of the supernatant water of
food waste is disposed at sea, and when the amount of the supernatant water is
small, it is also treated on land by using a treatment method such as evaporation
condensation.
However, in relation to the disposal of the supernatant water at sea, contamination of
the sea has been pointed out and regulations against it have been increasingly
strengthened. Also, when the supernatant water is treated on land, it requires an
excessive treatment cost of 200,000 ~ 300,000 Korean won per ton.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides an improved method of mixing and purifying
landfill leachate of household waste and supernatant water of food waste in which,
by mixing and treating landfill leachate of household waste and supernatant water of
food waste, the cost of using methanol occurring in a treatment process of leachate
can be reduced, and sea contamination by disposal of supernatant water at sea can
be prevented.
More specifically, the supernatant water of food waste which is used as an
organic carbon source replacing methanol in the present invention has a very low
harmful material content such as heavy metals, while containing affluent organic
materials that facilitate biological degradation and being in a liquid state similar to
that of the leachate produced in a landfill of household waste.
Accordingly, in a process for purifying landfill leachate of household waste,
the supernatant water can be used directly as an externa! carbon source without
requiring a separate preprocessing facility, thereby enabling a high efficiency of
leachate treatment with a low cost.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of mixing and purifying
landfill leachate of household waste and supernatant water of food waste with a low
cost and high efficiency, in which supernatant water of food waste which has high
concentration organic materials, and being in a liquid state similar to that of landfill
leachate of household waste, does not require a separate preprocessing facility, is
directly utilized, thereby reducing a preprocessing cost, and at the same time, by
using high concentration organic materials contained in the leachate instead of
methanol as an external carbon source, the expensive treatment cost of leachate
occurring when only the leachate is treated is greatly reduced.
The present invention also provides a method of mixing and purifying landfill
leachate of household waste and supernatant water of food waste in which, by
enabling supernatant water of food waste, which is difficult to treat on land due to the
high concentration and is disposed at seas because of high expense occurring when
it is treated on land, to be treated on land with a low cost, sea contamination due to
disposal of the supernatant water of food waste at sea can be solved in addition to
cost reduction effect.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of
mixing and purifying landfill leachate of household waste and supernatant water of
food waste, the method comprising: a mixing process for mixing and treating
leachate produced in a landfill of household waste which is five years old or over in
which the content of organic materials that can be degraded by microorganisms is
very low (equal to or less than BOD, COD 500 mg/L) and supernatant water
produced in a treatment process of food waste containing 150,000 mg/L or over
COD, suspended solids, and nitrogen of 3,000 mg/L or over to a level appropriate for
nitrogen treatment; an anaerobic digestion process for digestion of the mixed
leachate and supernatant water to a level appropriate for denitrification and/or
nitrification; a denitrification and/or nitrification process for removing nitrogen by
using remaining organic materials through an anaerobic digestion process; a
chemical coagulation process for clotting, precipitating and removing
non-biodegradable organic materials remaining in the treated water from the
denitrification and/or nitrification process, which are difficult to biologically degrade,
by adding ferric sulfate which is a coagulation factor and an anion polymer coagulant
which is a coagulating support agent; an oxidation coagulation process for removing
remaining organic materials and color of the treated water from the chemical
coagulation process, by adding ferric sulfate, hydrogen peroxide and powdered
activated carbon at the same time.
And, in the above purifying method, before the oxidation coagulation process,
the chemical coagulation process using the ferric sulfate is executed, thereby
effectively removing non-biodegradable organic materials and color, and by
replacing ferrous sulfate, which is conventionally used as a catalyst in order to
increase reaction of oxygenated water which is an oxidizing agent, with ferric sulfate,
the treatment efficiency in the COD and color is maintained to be similar to that
achieved when ferrous sulfate is used, while improving precipitation of sludge,
thereby lowering the concentration of suspended solids in the treated water. Also,
the suspended solids, COD, and color of the treated water can be greatly reduced by
inputting powdered activated carbon.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention will now be described more fully with reference to the
accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the invention are
shown.
The attached drawings illustrate embodiments of a method of purifying landfill
leachate of household waste according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a
diagram illustrating a whole process, including a sump mixing process, an anaerobic
digestion process, denitrification and/or nitrification process, a chemical coagulation
process, and an oxidation coagulation process.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, supernatant water produced in a process of treating
food waste is made to be collected in a mixing sump (5) from supernatant water
storing tank (1), and leachate produced in a landfill of household waste is made to be
collected in the mixing sump (5) through an extraction pipe (3) and a transportation
pipe (4), thereby performing a leachate mixing process mixing the collected water.
That is, performance of the process for mixing the high concentration supernatant
water of food waste and the leachate produced in the landfill of household waste
which is five years old or over, and performance of anaerobic digestion process (6)
can be referred to significant features of the present invention.
In particular, the landfill leachate of household waste having a high content of
non-biodegradable organic materials and nitrogen, and supernatant water of food
waste which is relatively easier to biologically degrade and has a high content of
organic materials and a low content of nitrogen, are mixed in a ratio of 1 to 0.8 ~ 1.2,
and through a series of processes for anaerobic digestion treatment, the
concentration ratio of organic materials to nitrogen (BOD)/NH4+ -N) is adjusted to be
maintained at a ratio of 4.5 ~ 5.5 to 1. Accordingly, even without inputting an
expensive external carbon source such as methanol that should be separately input
when the denitrification and/or nitrification process (7) is performed by conventional
method, the nitrogen treatment purpose through a denitrification and/or nitrification
process can be achieved.
The anaerobic denitrification and/or nitrification process will now be explained
in more detail.
The anaerobic digestion process (6) is a treatment process in which organic
materials contained in the mixed water of the leachate and the supernatant water
inflowing into a digestion tank are made to be digested and degraded by anaerobic
microorganisms consisted of acid formers and methanogens under an anaerobic
condition. The acid formers composed of Clostridium, peptococcus, anaerobus, etc,
first degrade organic materials, thereby generating organic acid and alcohol such as
butyric acid, lactic acid and acetic acid, and the generated organic acid and acetic
acid are finally degraded into CH4 and CO2 by methanogens.
In a more specific operating method of the anaerobic digestion tank, first, the
supernatant water which is mixed with leachate in a ratio of 1 to 0.8 ~ 1.2 is input to
the digestion tank and then, a digestion process is performed for 10 days at an
intermediate digestion temperature range of 32 ~ 38°C. Through this process, 60 ~
70% of organic materials contained in the supernatant water are removed, and
organic nitrogen in the form of protein included in the supernatant water is changed
to ammonia nitrogen (NH/ -N), thereby adjusting the density ratio of organic
materials and nitrogen (BOD/ NH4+ -N) to be maintained at the ratio of 4.5 ~ 5.5 to 1
that is an appropriate level for denitrification and/or nitrification which is a backend
process.
The denitrification and/or nitrification process 7 is a process in which the
leachate inflowing into a denitrification tank in the form of ammonia nitrogen is first
inflowing into a nitrification tank installed at the back, thereby being oxidized to be
nitrate nitrogen, and the nitrate nitrogen is returned to the denitrification tank installed
in front, and discharged as nitrogen gas into the air by denitrifying bacteria, thereby
being removed. In a biological nitrification process, ammonia nitrogen is oxidized to
be nitrate nitrogen by nitrifying bacteria consisted of nitrosomonas and nitrobacter.
- NH4+ + 1.502 -+ 2H+ + H2O + NO2 + 58 ~ 84 Kcal ? Nitrosomonas
- NO2" + 0.5O2 ? NO3 + 15-21 Kcal ? Nitrobacter
Also, the biological denitrification is a process in which NO2- and NO3- which
are generated in the nitrification process are used as electron acceptors instead of
oxygen in an anaerobic state and finally deoxidized to N2, N2O or NO, and
discharged into the air.
When a carbon source exists, denitrification reactions occur as follows:
- NO3- + 1 /3 CH3OH ? NO2- + 1 /3 CO2 + 2/3H2O
• NO2- + 1/2 CH3OH ? N2 + 1/2 CO2 + 1/2 H2O + OH-
- NO3- + 5/6 CH3OH ? 1/2 N2 + 5/6CO2 + 7/6H2O + OH'
Here, the amount of methanol required for reducing 1 g of NO3-N is approximately
1.9g(2.869gCOD).
However, in the above process according to the present invention, without
separate input of methanol, the mixed water of the supernatant water and the
leachate which is treated in the previous anaerobic digestion process so that the
concentration ratio of organic materials and nitrogen (BOD/NH/ -N) can be
maintained to be a ratio of 4.5 ~ 5.5 to 1 is made to inflow. This is the main
characteristic of this process, and through this process constructed as will be
explained later, up to an average of 90% of nitrogen can be removed.
More specifically, in this process, a denitrification and/or nitrification reactor is
composed entirely of seven reactors, including two denitrification reactors (7-1) and
five nitrification reactors (7-2). In the denitrification and/or nitrification reactor, a
constant amount of the microorganism concentration of about 8,000 ~ 12,000 mg/L
should always be maintained, and therefore recirculation from the nitrification reactor
to the denitrification reactor is required. That is, recirculation of the microorganisms
condensed in the precipitation reactor (7-3) is referred to as an external return, and
the external return ratio is made to be 100 ~ 200% of the amount of water inflowing
into the denitrification and/or nitrification reactor in order to prevent excessive
surface water loading of the precipitation reactor. Recirculation performed from the
nitrification reactor (7-2) to the denitrification reactor (7-1) is referred to as an internal
return, and the internal return ratio is made to 700 ~ 900% of the amount of water
inflowing into the denitrification and/or nitrification reactor by considering the
installment capacity of pumps for return, and a maximum denitrification rate.
The denitrification and/or nitrification process is the most important main
treatment process in the present process, and in order to maintain a constant
nitrification rate and a constant denitrification rate, an optimum state of
microorganisms resident in the reactors should always be maintained. For this
purpose, it is important to install a variety of microorganism breeding conditions to an
appropriate level. First, the water temperature which is the most important in the
breeding of the microorganisms living in the denitrification and/or nitrification reactor
should be made to not exceed a maximum of 43°C in summer which is the limit for
growing of denitrification and/or nitrification microorganisms, and should always be
maintained at equal to or higher than a minimum of 25°C in winter. In order to
maintain the appropriate water temperatures, the denitrification reactor and the
nitrification reactor are installed as concrete structures, and on the top part of each of
the structures, an opening part which can open and close by about 5% of a cover
area is installed. When the water temperature rises in summer, the opening part is
opened, and in winter the opening part is closed. In this way, the water temperature
is adjusted so that an appropriate water temperature can always be maintained.
Also, the depth of water of the reactor is made to be 6.5 ~ 7.5 m. The reactor is
installed so that about 5 ~ 6 m of the depth is positioned underground and a height
margin between the water surface and the cover is maintained to be in a range of 1.5
~ 2.0 m or higher so that lowering of water temperature in winter can be prevented.
In the denitrification reactor, by installing only a water mixer, an anaerobic condition
of the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) of equal to or less than 0.5 mg/L is
maintained, thereby facilitating reduction of nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas (N2 or
N2O). In the nitrification reactor, sufficient oxygen is provided and in order to
facilitate contact between microorganisms and pollutants a mechanical agitator and
a diffuser for providing air are installed together so that the concentration of DO can
be maintained at 3 ~ 5 mg/L.
The treated water from the denitrification and/or nitrification process is made to
sequentially inflow into a chemical coagulation process.
The chemical coagulation process (8) is a process for treating recalcitrant
organic materials remaining in the treated water from the denitrification and/or
nitrification process, color and suspended solids. In order to maintain an optimum
coagulation condition of reaction pH 5.0 ~ 5.5, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is added, and at
the same time ferric sulfate (Fe2(SO4)3) which is a coagulation factor is input in which
the input amount is 300 ~ 350 mgFe3+/L relative to iron (HI) ion (Fe3+). Then, for
about 15-25 minutes, a rapid stirring process at about 150 rpm is performed. In
the treated water in which ferric sulfate which is the coagulation factor is mixed, 5 ~
15 mg/L of an anion polymer coagulant which is a coagulating support agent is input
and a slow stirring process at about 50 rpm is performed for about 6 ~ 14 minutes.
The reaction water in which ferric sulfate and polymer coagulant are mixed is
precipitated for 2 hours, and then, the precipitating sludge is dehydrated, and the top
level water (treated water positioned on the top part) is made to inflow into the
oxidation coagulation process in a natural flowing method.
The oxidation coagulation process (9) is a process for removing
non-biodegradable organic materials and color remaining in the treated water from
the chemical coagulation process. By inputting ferric sulfate and hydrogen peroxide
at the same time into the treated water from the chemical coagulation process, the
reaction pH is made to be maintained in a range of 3 ~ 4, and for 3 ~ 4 hours, a rapid
stirring process at about 150 rpm is performed. In this case, ferric sulfate is input with
a concentration of 200 ~ 300 mgFe3+/L relative to iron(m) ion (Fe3+) and hydrogen
peroxide is input with a concentration of 50 ~ 70 mgH2O2/L, thereby inducing
oxidation. Also, 200 ~ 300 mg/L of powder activated carbon (F equal to or less
than 0.1 mm) is input into the rapid reactor in which ferric sulfate and hydrogen
peroxide are input, thereby increasing reaction and sludge precipitation. After the
reaction process is performed, a neutralization process is performed by using
sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in order to maintain a range of 6 ~ 7pH, and about 5-15
mg/L of a polymer coagulant (anion polymer) which is an anion cogulating support
agent is input in the slow stirring process at about 50 rpm, in order to facilitate
precipitation of sludge. In this way, by inputting powder activated carbon together,
the suspended solids are reduced to 5 ~7 mg/L, which is a 50 ~ 70% decrease, COD
is reduced to 50 ~ 60 mg/L which is a 50 ~ 60% decrease and color is reduced to 10
~ 20 degrees, which is an 80 ~ 90 % decrease. By sufficiently increasing the
oxidation coagulating reaction time which is about 30 minutes according to the
conventional method, up to 3 ~ 4 hours, the negative effects (floating of precipitated
sludge, increasing organic materials in the treated water, etc.) by remaining
hydrogen peroxide occurring in the conventional oxidation coagulating reaction
process is minimized. Through the present process, the precipitating sludge is
dehydrated through a condensation process, and the top level water (treated water
positioned on the top part) is discharged through a final water treatment tank.
As illustrated in table 2 below, according to the result of treating wastewater
which is obtained by mixing leachate and supernatant water of food waste containing
high concentration non-biodegradable organic materials and nitrogen, by using the
process of the present invention, the treatment efficiency of non-biodegradable
organic materials is 99.5% and the treatment efficiency of nitrogen is 95.5%. Both
figures are very high, indicating that the present invention has a high treatment
efficiency compared to the conventional leachate purifying methods using methanol
as an organic carbon source.

The method of analyzing the BOD, CODcr and T-N is based on the Method of
Environmental Pollution Process Experiment by the Ministry of Environment.
When leachate of a household waste landfill and supernatant water of food
waste which contains high concentration non-biodegradable organic materials and
nitrogen and is mainly disposed at sea because of high cost for treatment on land,
thereby becoming a major cause of sea contamination, are treated, the present
invention mixes the two types of high concentration wastewater, thereby achieving a
high efficiency treatment with a low cost.
More specifically, since supernatant water of food waste is in a liquid state
similar to that of leachate, and can be directly utilized as an external carbon source
in a process for purifying leachate of a household waste landfill without a separate
preprocessing facility, if the present invention is employed, the cost required for the
preprocessing can be saved.
Also, according to the conventional technology, methanol which is expensive
is separately input as an organic carbon source in order to treat high concentration
nitrogen. However, in the present invention, all the methanol is replaced by
supernatant water of food waste, and the supernatant water is mixed with leachate
and treated. In this way, the cost for treating leachate can be greatly reduced,
thereby achieving a high treatment efficiency for leachate with a low cost. The
reduction in the treatment cost achieved by the present invention is about 25,200
Korean won per ton when it is calculated as a net reduction cost, as illustrated in
table 3 below.
When the amount of supernatant water of food waste occurring within the country is
considered (about 5,000 tons/day), the cost is estimated to be about 45 billion won
per year.
Also, according to the present invention, before the oxidation coagulation
process, the chemical coagulation process using the ferric sulfate is executed,
thereby effectively removing non-biodegradable organic materials and color, and by
replacing ferrous sulfate, which is conventionally used as a catalyst in order to
increase reaction of hydrogen peroxide which is an oxidizing agent, with ferric sulfate,
precipitation of sludge is improved and the concentration of suspended solids in the
treated water is lowered to 20 ~ 30 % (2~3 mg/L), and the treatment efficiency of
the COD and color is 50 ~ 60 % similar to that achieved when ferrous sulfate is used.
Also, by inputting powder activated carbon in the chemical coagulation process, the
suspended solids, COD and color are greatly reduced.
Furthermore, the present invention enables supernatant water of food waste,
which has been disposed at sea because of high concentration and high cost
preventing treatment on land, to be treated on land with a low cost, thereby reducing
the cost of treatment and at the same time solving the sea contamination problem.
