Abstract

Several pretreatment processes such as softening, coagulation and precipitation, activated carbon adsorption, ion-exchange and neutralization processes were studied to remove organics and inorganics for selection of the RO based reusing system of metal industry wastewater. The effects of the hydrophobic/hydrophilic fractions of the organics on DOC removal were tested and used to optimize the combination process. Among various pretreatment processes, softening could reduce 93.4% of hardness and could remove all hydrophobic organics from the effluent of metal industry wastewater. Softening followed by coagulation process could reduce DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) from 5.1 mg/L to 1.6 mg/L. In addition, as a result of physiochemical pretreatment to raw wastewater of metal industry, neutralization with NaOH showed an efficient removal of iron and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) without increase in the hardness.

역삼투기반 금속산업폐수 물재이용시스템의 전처리공정을 선정하기 위해 연수화, 응집침전, 활성탄, 이온교환 및 중화 침전공정에 대한 무기물 및 유기물 제거특성을 조사하였다. 유기물제거를 위해 DOC중 친수성 및 소수성 유기물을 분류하였으며, 이를 이용하여 조합공정을 최적화하였다. 다양한 전처리공정 중에서 연수화는 금속산업 방류수에 존재하는 칼슘경도(1,201 mg/L as $CaCO_3$)를 93.4%제거함과 동시에 소수성유기물을 모두 제거하는 것으로 나타났다. 연수화 후에 응집침전공정을 연계할 경우, 방류수에 포함된 유기물 5.1 mg DOC/L을 1.6 mg DOC/L까지 저감할 수 있었다. 또한, 금속공정 원폐수를 대상으로 가성소다를 이용한 중화침전공정을 적용하였을 때, 수중경도를 유발하지 않으면서도 철과 총용존성고형물을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
