Abstract

In this study, The effects of three different biological activated carbon (BAC) materials (each coal, coconut and wood based activated carbons) and anthracite, empty bed contact time (EBCT) and water temperature on the removal of MK, HHCB and AHTN in BAC filters were investigated. Experiments were conducted at three water temperatures (5, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$) and four EBCTs (5, 10, 15 and 20 min). The results indicated that coal based BAC retained more attached bacterial biomass on the surface of the activated carbon than the other BAC, increasing EBCT or increasing water temperature increased the synthetic musk compounds (SMCs) removal in BAC columns. The kinetic analysis suggested a first-order reaction model for MK, HHCB and AHTN removal at various water temperatures (5, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$). The pseudo-first-order biodegradation rate constants and half-lives were also calculated for MK, HHCB and AHTN removal at 5, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$. The pseudo-first-order biodegradation rate constants and half-lives of MK, HHCB and AHTN ranging from 0.0082 $min^{-1}$ to 0.4452 $min^{-1}$ and from 1.56 min to 84.51 min could be used to assist water utilities in designing and operating BAC filters for SMCs removal.

재질별 생물활성탄(BAC) 및 안트라사이트 biofilter에서 EBCT 및 수온변화에 따른 인공사향물질(SMCs) 3종의 생물분해 특성을 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 생물활성탄(BAC) 공정에서 인공사향물질 3종의 제거는 EBCT와 수온에 따라 큰 영향을 받으며, EBCT와 수온이 증가할수록 제거능이 증가하였다. 물질에 따른 제거능은 MK가 가장 높았고 다음으로 HHCB, AHTN 순이었다. 또한, 활성탄 재질에 따른 생물활성탄(BAC) 및 안트라사이트 biofilter에서의 인공사향물질 3종의 제거는 석탄계 재질의 BAC에서 생물분해능이 가장 높았고, 다음으로 목탄계, 야자계, 안트라사이트 순으로 조사되었다. 인공사향물질 3종에 대한 생물분해 속도상수($K_{biodeg}$)와 반감기($t_{1/2}$)는 수온이 $5{\sim}25^{\circ}C$일 때 0.0082~0.4452 $min^{-1}$와 1.56~84.51 min이었으며, 수온이 $15^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$로 증가시켰을 때 $5^{\circ}C$에서의 반감기보다 3.1~9.3배 감소되었다.
