초록

본 연구는 오존 단독, UV 단독 및 오존/UV 혼합 공정을 이용하여 DEP의 제거 특성을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 실험 결과로서, 오존/UV 공정에서 가장 높은 제거 효율을 나타냈다. 오존 및 오존/UV 공정에서 DEP의 분해 경로를 파악하기 위해서 pH 변화 및 OH 라디칼($OH^{\circ}$) scavenger 첨가 유무에 따른 제거 정도를 비교하였다. 그 결과, DEP 분해 시 $OH^{\circ}$과의 반응이 주된 반응이며, 오존에 의한 직접 산화 반응 및 UV에 의한 광분해 반응은 무시할 정도로 작았다. 오존 및 오존/UV 공정에서 DEP의 의사일차속도상수를 비교하였을 때, 오존/UV 공정은 일차속도에 잘 일치한 반면 오존 단독 공정에서는 일차속도로 제거되는 경향이 초기에 빠르고 일정한 반응시간 이후에 느려지는 두 영역으로 나뉘어 나타났다. 오존 및 오존/UV 긍정에 의해 생성되는 DEP 산화 부산물을 간접적으로 확인하기 위해 HPLC 스펙트럼을 조사한 결과 미지의 물질이 검출되었으며, 반응시간에 따라 이 물질이 생성되다가 감소하는 일정한 경향을 보였다. 또한, 오존/UV 혼합공정에서 높은 TOC 제거율을 나타내 DEP 및 DEP 산화부산물까지 완전 산화됨을 확인하였다.

Three candidate processes(ozone alone, UV alone and ozone/UV combined processes) were evaluated for the removal of diethyl phthalate(DEP). Of the candidates, the ozone/UV process showed the highest removal efficiency of DEP. To elucidate a major oxidant for DEP oxidation in the ozone/UV process, the effects of pH and hydroxyl radical($OH^{\circ}$) scavenger were investigated. As a result, it was found that $OH^{\circ}$ plays a important role for DEP elimination. Meanwhile, the direct reaction between ozone and DEP was negligible. Observing the pseudo first-order rate of DEP removal in ozone alone and ozone/UV processes, the different pattern was obtained from two processes. The ozone/UV process was well plotted following the pseudo first-order. but in the ozone alone process the rate was divided into fast and slow phases. DEP degradation characteristics in ozone alone and ozone/UV was also investigated by observing the HPLC spectrum. We detected unknown compounds that were guessed to DEP byproducts and observed the formation and disappearance of the unknown compounds according to reaction time. Observing of high removal of TOC in ozone/UV combined process, it was found that DEP and DEP byproducts are completely oxidized by ozone/UV combined process.
