Abstract

As a disinfection byproduct, N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) formation was studied according to chlorine, nitrogen, and carbon composition related to monochloramine and dimethylamine(DMA) concentrations. The highest NDMA formation was observed when the dimethylamine/monochloramine ratio was close to 1, and the formation was rapidly decreased when the ratio was less or greater than 1. The formation of NDMA increased with increasing chlorine/nitrogen ratio indicating the chlorine is a limiting factor. A rapid disinfection byproduct was formed at 72 hour contact time in this study. As the previous researches, pH was a significant factor for the NDMA formation.

모노클로라민과 디메틸아민 농도와 관련 있는 염소, 질소, 탄소 비율에 따라서 소독부산물인 NDMA 생성을 여러 조건에서 조사하였다. 디메틸아민/모노클로라민 비율이 1에 근접 할 경우에 NDMA 생성이 높게 나타났으며 아주 작거나 너무 클 경우 생성은 급속하게 감소하였다. 염소/질소 비율이 증가함에 따라 NDMA 생성도 증가하는 것으로 조사되어 염소 성분이 생성에 중요한 지표가 됨을 알 수 있었다. 접촉시간에 따른 NDMA 생성 영향을 조사한 결과, 본 연구에서는 72시간에서 급속하게 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 기존연구에서와 같이 본 연구에서도 pH는 NDMA 생성에 중요한 영향을 주는 요소로 조사되었다.
