초록

강이나 호수로 유입되는 인(P)이 종종 부영양화의 가장 큰 제한요소로 작용한다. 그런데 하수처리장의 방류수가 자연수계에 인의 중요한 공급처로 작용하는 경우가 많기 때문에 하수처리장의 최종 처리수에서 인의 제거가 요구된다. 하수에서 인을 제거할 수 있는 많은 기술 중에서, 활성 칼슘-황토의 복합체를 이용한 흡착기술을 연구하였다. 칼슘을 황토에 첨가하여 인의 흡착 용량과 흡착강도를 증가시켰다. 칼슘을 첨가한 황토를 최적 온도로 밝혀진 $400^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 활성화시켰다. $400^{\circ}C$ 미만에서 활성화시킨 칼슘-황토는 하수처리 공정의 활성칼슘-황토 복합체를 이용한 처리조에 적용하기엔 강도가 부족하였다. 반면 $400^{\circ}C$ 초과 온도에서 활성화시킨 칼슘-황토 복합체는 복합체 표면이 유리화되어 흡착용량이 감소하였다. 활성칼슘-황토 복합체는 표면에 충분한 기공이 발달하지 못하여 인의 흡착용량에 한계는 있으나 칼슘을 첨가하였기 때문에 흡착강도는 높았다. 활성칼슘-황토는 입자형 복합체로 만들어졌다. 제조된 복합체를 흡착칼럼에 채워 하수처리공정에 적용하였다. 활성칼슘-황토의 복합체를 충진한 칼럼을 파일롯트 플랜트에 적용한 결과 0.5 mg/l의 인의 농도를 0.1 mg/l로 낮출 수 있었고, 이온성 인을 4개월의 운전기간 동안 완전하게 흡착시켜 제거할 수 있었다.

In many instances phosphorus is a limiting factor for eutrophication in streams, and lakes. Because wastewater treatment plant itself may be the main phosphorus source in a natural water body, removal of phosphorus in final effluent of wastewater treatment processes is required. Amongst various technologies for phosphorus removal in wastewater, adsorption technology was investigated using activated Ca-loess complex. Ca was added in loess to enhance adsorption capacity and intensity of phosphorus. Ca added loess was activated at a high temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ which turned out to be the optimum temperature. Activated Ca-loess complex below $400^{\circ}C$ had not enough strength to be applied as an activated Ca-loess pallet column in wastewater treatment process. Ca-loess complex which activated above $400^{\circ}C$ lost its adsorption capacity as the loess surface was glassified when the activation temperature reached above $400^{\circ}C$20. Even if adsorption capacity of activated Ca-loess was not very high due to the lack of abundant pores on its surface, adsorption intensity was still high because it was activated with added Ca in loess. Activated loess was made by pallets. The activated loess pallets were filled in a column, and were applied in wastewater treatment process. Using an activated Ca-loess pallet column, total phosphorus (T-P) was reduced from about 0.5 mg/l to lower than 0.1 mg/l in wastewater treatment, and ionic phosphorus (phosphate) was completely removed for the four months of pilot plant operation.
