초록

Gamma-rays effectively decomposed TPA and EG, thus removal of $1.0{\times}10^{-3}$ M pollutants was near 65 and 95%, respectively, at an absorbed dose of 10 kGy. However, TOC removal in the radiation treatment was less than 5% due to a low transformation of both TPA and EG to $CO_2$. For TPA, gamma-ray treatment largely reduced biodegradability($BOD_5/COD$) by degrading TPA to non-biodegradable organic acids. This implies that the change of biodegradability should be considered when the radiation treatment is combined with conventional biological techniques. A weight-loss wastewater containing TPA and EG was also purified by gamma-ray treatment. Extraordinarily, biodegradability of the wastewater was increased at a low dose of 1 kGy. Though underlying mechanism was not clearly identified, this result stresses the effect of wastewater composition and absorbed dose on the biodegradability change.
