Abstract
Due to industrial development and diversification of life, the needs of resource utilization has increased and consequently the development and utilization of such resource is rapidly increasing as well. Due to the wastes generated every year and diversification of types of the waste, the counter measures for disposing such waste became a serious problem in the society. In Korea, reclamation and incineration are still occupying the most of the major disposing system and their economic feasibility and efficiency are poor. As for living waste policy in Korea, volume-rate garbage disposal system, EPR and etc are implemented but there is no significant effect. Also, due to the insufficient infrastructure for the recycling system, recycling and reducing the waste are difficult to be attained. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to introduce mechanical biological treatment. The mechanical biological treatment refers to the sorting by applying mechanical treatment and implementing biological treatment for generating energy and recycling the products generated in the process with various methods. It is to reduce to final disposing amount and reclaim the left overs, which is the resource-cycle type waste disposal system. The mechanical biological treatment not only corresponds to the resource-cycle policy but it also enables to collect the energy through the treatment. Therefore, it is expected that this treatment will be operated and expanded in domestic and overseas countries and the related technology will be actively developed. In this study, the effects of food waste content in MBT system on aerobic stabilization response have been analyzed and examined.
