Abstract

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) have been interested for removing micropollutants in water. Most of water treatment plants (WTPs) located along the lower part of Nakdong River have adopted the $O_3/BAC$ process and have interesting in peroxone process a kind of AOP. This study evaluated the removal characteristics of residual hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) combining with the biofiltration process in the next BAC process when the hydrogen peroxide is applied for the WTP operating $O_3/BAC$ process. In the experiment, changing the temperature and the concentration of $H_2O_2$ of influent, the biofiltration process showed rapidly dropped the biodegradability when the $H_2O_2$ concentration was increased and lowered water temperature while BAC process maintained relatively stable efficiency. The influent fixed at $20^{\circ}C$ and the concentration of $H_2O_2$ at 300 mg/L was continuously input for 78 hours. Most of the $H_2O_2$ in the influent did not remove at the biofiltration process controlled 5 to 15 minutes EBCT condition after 24~71 hours operating time while BAC process controlled 5 to 15 minutes EBCT showed 38~91% removal efficiency condition after 78 hours operating time. Besides, after 78 hours continuously input experiment, the biomass and activity of attached bacterial on the biofilter and BAC were $6.0{\times}10^4CFU/g$, $0.54mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$ and $0.4{\times}10^8CFU/g$, $1.42mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$ respectively. These biomass and activity values were decreased 99% and 72% in biofilter and 68% and 53% in BAC compared with initial condition. The biodegradation rate constant ($k_{bio}$) and half-life ($t_{1/2}$) in BAC were decreased from $1.173min^{-1}$ to $0.183min^{-1}$ and 0.591 min to 3.787 min respectively according to increasing the $H_2O_2$ concentration from 10 mg/L to 300 mg/L at $5^{\circ}C$ water temperature and the $k_{bio}$ and $t_{1/2}$ were $1.510min^{-1}$ to $0.498min^{-1}$ and 0.459 min to 1.392 min at $25^{\circ}C$ water temperature. By increasing the water temperature from $5^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$ or $25^{\circ}C$, the $k_{bio}$ were increased 1.1~2.1 times and 1.3~4.4 times. If a water treatment plant operating $O_3/BAC$ process is considering the hydrogen peroxide for the peroxone process, post BAC could effectively decrease the residual $H_2O_2$, moreover, in case of spilling the $H_2O_2$ into the water process line, these spilled $H_2O_2$ concentration can be able to decrease by increasing the EBCT at the BAC process.

수중의 미량 유해물질 제거를 위해 AOP 공정에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 낙동강 하류에 위치한 정수장들은 대부분 $O_3/BAC$ 공정을 채택하여 운전 중에 있으며, AOP 공정의 일종인 peroxone 공정의 적용에 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $O_3/BAC$ 공정을 운전 중인 정수장에서 과산화수소를 투입할 경우에 후단의 BAC 공정에서의 잔류 과산화수소의 제거 특성을 biofiltration 공정과 함께 평가하였다. 유입수의 수온 및 과산화수소 농도변화 실험에서 biofilteration 공정은 낮은 수온에서 유입수 중의 과산화수소 농도가 증가하면 급격히 생물분해능이 저하된 반면, BAC 공정에서는 비교적 안정적인 효율을 유지하였다. 유입수의 수온을 $20^{\circ}C$, 과산화수소 투입농도를 300 mg/L로 고정하여 78시간 동안 연속으로 투입한 실험에서 biofilteration 공정은 EBCT 5~15분의 경우 운전 24~71시간 후에는 유입된 과산화수소가 거의 제거되지 않았으나, BAC 공정에서는 78시간 후의 과산화수소 제거율이 EBCT 5~15분일 때 38%~91%로 나타났다. 또한, 78시간 동안 연속 투입실험 후의 biofilter와 BAC 부착 박테리아들의 생체량과 활성도는 각각 $6.0{\times}10^4CFU/g$과 $0.54mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$ 및 $0.4{\times}10^8CFU/g$과 $1.42mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$로 나타나 운전초기에 비해 biofilter에서는 생체량과 활성도가 각각 99%와 72% 감소하였으며, BAC의 경우는 각각 68%와 53%의 감소율을 나타내었다. BAC 공정에서 생물분해 속도상수($k_{bio}$)와 반감기($t_{1/2}$)를 조사한 결과, 수온 $5^{\circ}C$에서 과산화수소 농도가 10 mg/L에서 300 mg/L로 증가할수록 $k_{bio}$는 $1.173min^{-1}$에서 $0.183min^{-1}$으로 감소하였고, $t_{1/2}$은 0.591 min에서 3.787 min으로 증가하였다. 수온 $25^{\circ}C$의 경우 $k_{bio}$와 $t_{1/2}$은 $1.510min^{-1}$에서 $0.498min^{-1}$ 및 0.459 min에서 1.392 min으로 나타나 수온 $5^{\circ}C$에 비해 수온이 $15^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$로 상승할 경우 $k_{bio}$는 각각 1.1배~2.1배 및 1,3배~4.4배 정도 증가하였다. $O_3/BAC$ 공정을 운전 중인 정수장에서 peroxone 공정의 적용을 위해 과산화수소 투입을 고려할 경우, 후단의 BAC 공정에서 잔류 과산화수소를 효과적으로 제거 가능하였고, 고농도의 과산화수소 유출사고시에는 BAC 공정의 EBCT를 최대한 증가시켜 운전할 경우 수중의 과산화수소 농도를 최대한 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
