Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the effect of an indirect oxidation zone in an electrolysis reactor that used Ti/$IrO_2$ as the anode and SUS 316L as the cathode. Based on our preliminary results, the electrolysis reactor was operated with pole plate interval of 6 mm, current density 1.0 $A/dm^2L$ and electrolyte concentration 15%. The removal efficiency, COD (chemical oxygen demand), was additionally increased by 55% and 12.5${\sim}$15.0% in the direct and indirect oxidation zones, respectively. The removal efficiencies of T-N (total nitrogen) and T-P (total phosphorus) were found to be 88% and 75%, respectively. It was shown that the additional effect of the indirect oxidation zone on the removal was nearly negligible. Also, as the removal of COD,T-N and T-P took place during the initial2${\sim}$5 days of reaction, it was concluded that there was no need to extend the retention time of the electrolysis reactor.

Ti/$IrO_2$ 를 양극으로 SUS 316L 을 음극으로 사용한 전기분해 반응조에 간접산화조를 설치하여 간접산화 효과를 제시함으로써 하폐수 재활용 시스템의 설계에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 전기분해 반응조의 운전조건은 극판 간격, 전류 밀도, 전해질 농도에 대한 영향을 조사하여 극판 간격 6 mm, 전류 밀도 1.0 $A/dm^2$ L, 전해질 농도 15%로 설정하였다. 산화에 의한 제거효율은 유기물은 COD로서 직접산화조에서 55%, 간접산화조에서 12.5${\sim}$15.0%의 추가 분해가 일어나고 있으며 T-N (전체 질소량), T-P(전체 인량)는 직접산화조에서 각각 88%, 75%의 제거효율을 나타내고 있으나 COD제거와는 달리 간접산화조의 추가 제거 효과는 거의 없는 것으로 판명되었다. 또한 COD, T-N, T-P의 제거는 2-5일의 반응초기에 일어나고 있기 때문에 전기 분해 반응조의 체류시간을 크게 설계할 필요는 없다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.
