초록

본 연구에서는 폴리에스테르 중합폐수의 배출 원수에 약 600 mg/L의 고농도로 존재하는 1,4-dioxane을 5 mg/L 이하까지 (2011년 규제 시행) 제거할 수 있는 고급산화공정의 현장 적용 기술을 개발하고자 구미지역 폴리에스테르 제조회사 중 K사의 폐수처리 시설을 선정하여 연구를 하였다. 공기의 공급 하에 광펜톤산화반응을 K사에 설치된 pilot에서 운전하였다. 막대형 산기관을 통해 공기를 공급하면서 10개의 UV-C 램프(240 ${\mu}W/cm^2$)의 조사 하에 과산화수소(2,800 ppm)와 철염(1,400 ppm)을 주입하였을 때 1,4-dioxane의 제거 효율이 2시간 만에 90%까지 나타나는 결과를 도출할 수 있었다. 그러나 처리수의 1,4-dioxane 농도는 약 60 mg/L으로 여전히 높았다. 그리하여 후속 처리로 bench-scale의 활성슬러지공정(V=8.9 L)을 이용하여 광펜톤산화 처리수 내의 1,4-dioxane 제거 가능성을 평가하였다. 그 결과로서 활성슬러지공정의 유출수내의 1,4-dioxane의 농도는 약 2~3 mg/L까지 저감되었으며 이를 통해, 광펜톤산화공정과 활성슬러지공정의 연계처리를 통해 1,4-dioxane 배출 허용기준(5 mg/L, 2011년)에 부합될 수 있는 효과적인 처리공정임을 입증하였다.

In this research, a polyester manufacturing company (i.e. K Co.) in Gumi, South Korea was investigated regarding the release of high concentrations of 1,4-dioxane(about 600 mg/L) and whether treatment prior to release should occur to meet with the level of the regulation standard (e.g., 5 mg/L in 2011). The pilot-scale (reactor volume, 10 $m^3$) treatment system using Photo-Fenton Oxidation was able to remove approximately 90% of 1,4-dioxane under the conditions that concentrations of 2,800 ppm $H_2O_2$ and 1,400 ppm $FeSO_4$ were maintained along with 10 UV-C lamps (240 ${\mu}W/cm^2$) illuminated during aeration. However, the effluent concentration of 1,4-dioxane was still high at about 60 mg/L. Thus, further investigation is needed to see whether the bench scale (reactor volume, 8.9 L) of activated sludge could facilitate the decomposition of 1,4-dioxane. As a result, 1,4-dioxane in the effluent has been decreased as low as about 2~3 mg/L. Consequently, Photo-Fenton Oxidation coupled with activated sludge process can make it possible to efficiently decompose 1,4-dioxane to keep up with that of the regulation standard.
