Abstract

Several combinations of ozone based advanced oxidation processes were tested for the treatment of red water (RW) containing recalcitrant chemical pollutants produced from 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) manufacturing process. $O_3$, $UV/O_3$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ processes were tested for the treatment of RW. The order of organic and color removal efficiency was found to be : $O_3{\leq}UV/O_3$ < $UV/O_3/H_2O_2$ < $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$. The optimum conditions for the removal of organic and color in the $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ process were 0.053 g/min of ozone flow rate, 10 mM of $H_2O_2$ concentration and 0.1 mM of $FeSO_4$ concentration. Organic and color removal efficiencies were 96 and 100 % respectively in the $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ process. tert-butyl alcohol (t-buOH) was used as the hydroxyl radical scavenger. Enhancement of hydroxyl radical production was achieved by the combination of ozone with several oxidants such as UV, $H_2O_2$, $Fe^{2+}$.

오존을 중심으로 한 다양한 조합의 고급산화 공정(advanced oxidation process: AOP)을 이용하여 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) 제조 공정에서 발생되는 난분해성 폐수인 red water(RW)의 유기물 및 색도 제거 연구를 수행하였다. 적용된 고급산화 공정은 $O_3$, $UV/O_3$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2$, $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ 공정이었으며, 유기물 및 색도 제거 효과는 $O_3 < $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ 공정의 순서로 나타났다. $UV/O_3/H_2O_2/Fe^{2+}$ 공정에서 최적 분해조건은 오존 유량 0.053 g/min, $H_2O_2$ 주입농도 10 mM, $FeSO_4$ 주입농도 0.1 mM로 나타났으며, 90 min 동안 유기물 및 색도 제거율은 각각 96, 100%로 나타났다. tert-butyl alcohol(t-buOH)을 이용한 수산화 라디칼(hydroxyl radical : ${\cdot}OH$)의 scavenging 실험을 통해 오존에 UV, $H_2O_2$, $FeSO_4$를 산화제로 조합함으로써 수산화 라디칼의 발생량을 더욱 증가시키고 유기물 제거율을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
