Abstract

In this research, we synthesized potassium ferrate(VI) acting as an oxidant, disinfectant, and coagulant, and used it to treat natural organic matter(NOM, HA and FA) in river water. The removal efficiencies obtained by $UV_{254}$ ranged from 20.7 to 73.6% for 10 mg/L HA and from 52.6 to 77.5% for 10 mg/L FA in Nakdong river sample as the ferrate dose varied from 2 to 46 mg/L(as Fe). However, the removal efficiencies by TOC analysis ranged from 0 to 20.3% for HA and from 0 to 26.6% for FA at the same ferrate doses. The removal efficiencies of NOM increased either with decreasing pH or with increasing temperature. The removal efficiency of HA by ferrate was comparable to those by traditional coagulants such as $Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}18H_2O$, $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, and FeO(OH). The reaction between ferrate and HA reached a steady state within 60 seconds, showing first-order with respect to the reaction time. The removal efficiencies of HA by traditional coagulants were improved by pretreatment of HA using a small amount of ferrate.

본 연구에서는 산화제, 소독제, 응집제로서 동시에 작용하는 potassium ferrate(VI)를 합성하여 자연유기물질(NOM, HA와 FA)로 오염된 강물을 처리하는 실험을 수행하였다. Ferrate 주입량($2\sim46$ mg/L as Fe)에 따른 낙동강 시료에 포함되어 있는 10 mg/L HA의 제거효율을 $UV_{254}$로 알아본 결과, $20.7\sim73.6%$ 제거효율을 보였고 10 mg/L FA에 대해서는 $52.6\sim77.5%$의 제거효율을 보였다. 하지만 제거효율을 TOC로 분석한 결과는 HA에 대해 $0\sim20.3%$, FA에 대해 $0\sim26.6%$의 낮은 효율을 보였다. pH와 반응온도에 따른 영향을 보면, pH가 낮을수록 ferrate에 한 NOM 제거효율이 높게 나타났고, 온도가 높을수록 HA 제거효율이 높아졌다. 응집제로서 ferrate 효과를 기존 응집제들과 비교해 본 실험에서 ferrate는 $Al_2(SO_4)_3{\cdot}18H_2O$, $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, FeO(OH)와 비슷한 정도의 효율을 보였다. Ferrate와 HA의 반응은 60초 이내에 완결되어 정상상태에 이르렀고 반응시간에 대해 1차 반응을 보였다. 그리고 소량의 ferrate를 주입하여 HA를 전처리한 후 기존 응집제로 처리하였을 때 ferrate로 전처리하지 않았을 때보다 효율이 향상되었다.
