Abstract

This research was performed by means of several different virgin granular activated carbons (GAC) made of each coal, coconut and wood, and the GACs were investigated for an adsorption performance of bromate in a continuous adsorption column. Breakthrough behavior was investigated that the breakthrough points of the virgin two coals-, coconut- and wood-based GACs were observed as 9252 bed volume (BV), 6821 BV, 5291 BV and 2431 BV, respectively. The experimental results of adsorption capacity (X/M) for bromate showed that two coal- based GACs were highest (1334.5 and 798.2 ${\mu}g$/g), the coconut-based GAC was intermediate (668.6 ${\mu}g$/g) and the wood-based GAC was lowest (156.8 ${\mu}g$/g). The X/M of the coal-based GACs was 2~8.5 times higher than the X/M of the coconut-based and wood-based GACs. The results of carbon usage rates (CURs) for the virgin two coal-, coconut- and wood-based GACs were shown as 0.19, 0.25, 0.33 and 0.71 g/day respectively. The adsorption capacity, k values, were also investigated by means of the GACs for bromate. The k values of two coal-, coconut- and wood- based GACs for bromate were found to be 121.3, 76.7, 43.3 and 14.6 respectively. This results suggested that using the virgin GAC made of coal was the best selection for removal of bromate in the water treatment for an advanced treatment.

본 연구에서는 다양한 재질의 입상활성탄들을 이용하여 연속흡착실험에서 $BrO_3\;^-$의 파과특성을 조사하였다. 활성탄 재질별 파과시점은 석탄계 재질의 활성탄들이 가장 늦게 파과에 도달하였으며, 다음으로 야자계와 목탄계 재질의 활성탄으 로 나타났다. 활성탄 g당 $BrO_3\;^-$에 대한 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 석탄계 재질의 활성탄들이 각각 1334.5 ${\mu}g$/g 및 798.2 ${\mu}g$/g으로 가장 컸으며, 야자계 668.6 ${\mu}g$/g, 목탄계 156.8 ${\mu}g$/g으로 나타났고, 석탄계 활성탄들이 야자계와 목탄계에 비하여 최대 흡착량이 약 2.0배~8.5배 정도 큰 것으로 조사되었다. $BrO_3\;^-$에 대한 CUR은 석탄계 재질의 활성탄들이 각각 0.19 g/day과 0.25 g/day, 야자계와 목탄계가 각각 0.33 g/day과 0.71 g/day로 나타났다. 활성탄의 흡착용량을 나타내는 k값의 경우 석탄계 재질의 활성탄들이 각각 121.3과 76.7로 나타나 야자계와 목탄계의 43.3과 14.6에 비하여 석탄계 활성탄들이 월등히 높은 k값을 나타내어 다른 재질의 활성탄에 비하여 $BrO_3\;^-$ 흡착용량이 큰 것으로 조사되었다.
