The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal ratio of organics, total nitrogen and total phosphate from the synthetic wastewater by the biological reactor using hair wasted from the beauty salon as microbiological media. The dynamic kinetics data was evaluated in order to know the possibility of use for the biological media of wasted hair by the batch type reactor. The results were as follow;
1. The removal ratios of CODcr, T-N and T-P were 98.0%, 71.4% and 85.7% in the lab scale continuous biological treatment plant using hair wasted from the beauty salon as the microbial media.
2. The removal ratios of CODcr, T-N and T-P were 93.3%, 77.2% and 86.3% in the lab scale batch treatment plant, respectively.
3. The removal rate per unit of microorganism per unit of hours were evaluated as 7.34mgCOD/g-MLSS?hr of CODcr, 1.15mg-N/g-MLSS?hr of TN and 0.13mg-P/g-MLSS?hr of TP, respectively. And removal rate coefficients(k) were evaluated as 0.91hr-1of CODcr, 0.48hr-1 of TN and 0.19hr-1 of TP. Therefore, the result could be concluded that the hair wasted from the beauty salon is widely useable as the biological media for the treatment of wastewater.
