A study on improvement of ozone process by Granular Activated Carbon

입상 활성탄을 이용한 오존공정의 개선에 관한 연구

Ozone/GAC and ozone-GAC processes were introduced for treatment of humic acid, which is representative refractory organic compound. The treatment efficiencies of humic acid in each process were analyzed in pH variation, DOC removal, and $UV_{254}$ decrease. $UV_{254}$ decrease in all processes was comparatively high with efficiency over 92%. $UV_{254}$ decrease in ozone alone process was 85%. DOC removal in Ozone-GAC process was the highest with 75%. Removal by Ozone/GAC, Ozone alone processes were 71% and 33% respectively.
