Abstract

This study focuses both on the quantitative measurement of hydroxyl radicals formed by an electron beam (E-beam) process and on the decomposition of pentachlorophenol(PCP) in the presence of $H_2O_2$ and $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$ as additives. To attain this objective, the quantitative measurement of hydroxyl radical was performed with the hydroylation of benzoic acid (BA), producing hydroxybenzoic acid (OHBA). As a result, the concentrations of hydroxyl radical measured were lower than those of hydroxyl radical predicted. Probably, it indicates that the reactive species generated during E-beam irradiation are able to scavenge the hydroxyl radicals. In particular, the degradation of PCP was promoted by the addition of $H_2O_2$ (< 1mM). On the other hand, its degradation as well as the generation of chloride ions as a by-product was inhibited by the addition of $H_2O_2$ (> 1mM), and thus carbon yield(%) of oxalic acid as a by-product was increased. During E-beam irradiation the addition of $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$ effectively decomposed the PCP, thus increasing the G-values. Considering the formation of OHBA and the decomposition of PCP, these results suggest that the addition of $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$ in the E-beam process can produce the further hydroxyl radicals and enhance the efficiency of PCP decomposition at low dose.

본 연구에서는 전자빔공정(Electron beam process, E-beam)에서 생성되는 수산화라디칼의 생성특성을 조사하였고, 이 공정에 첨가제로 과산화수소와 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$을 이용한 펜타클로로페놀(Pentachlorophenol, PCP)의 분해 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 수산화라디칼의 측정은 벤조산(Benzoic Acid, BA)에 의한 hydroxylation으로 생성된 hydroxybenzoic acid(OHBA)의 농도를 정량화하여 수행하였다. 실험결과, 실제 측정된 수산화라디칼의 농도는 예측된 수산화라디칼에 비해 낮은 농도로 나타났으며, 이것은 아마도 E-beam 에너지의 조사와 동시에 형성되는 다양한 반응성 화학종이 수산화라디칼을 스케빈져(scavening)할 것으로 생각되었다. 특히, 1mM 이하의 과산화수소 주입은 PCP 분해를 촉진시킬 수 있으나 그 이상의 과산화수소의 주입은 오히려 PCP의 분해를 감소시키거나 PCP의 부산물인 염소이온과 Carbon yield(%)를 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하였다. 반면에, $20{\mu}M$의 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$ 첨가는 효과적으로 PCP를 제거하였고, 이에 따른 G-value도 증가한 것으로 나타났다. OHBA의 형성과 PCP의 분해를 고려하여 보면, 결과적으로 E-beam공정에 가하는 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$의 첨가는 상대적으로 낮은 세기에서도 효과적으로 PCP를 처리할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
