초록

본 연구는 도시하수에서 퍼클로레이트 분해의 잠재성을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 3 L 생하수를 포함하는 플라스크를 이용한 실험이 수행되었다. 하수에 일정농도의 퍼클로레이트와 다양한 첨가물이 혼합되었다. 하수에서 퍼클로레이트의 제거가 일어났으나, 교반 72시간 동안 0에서 72%의 매우 다양한 제거율을 보였다. 퍼클로레이트로 순응된 미생물의 미량(167 mg/L SS) 주입만으로도 퍼클로레이트 분해 지체시간은 현저하게 감소되었으며 하수에서 퍼클로레이트가 완전히 제거되었다. 용존산소농도가 2 mg/L 이상 그리고 염분농도가 비교적 높은(전기전도도 14 mS; TDS 8 g/L) 조건의 하수/brine 혼합수에서 퍼클로레이트 제거는 방해를 받았다. 퍼클로레이트와 질산염이 공존하는 하수/brine 혼합실험에서 퍼클로레이트 환원에 비해 질산염 환원이 우선적으로 진행되었으며, 초기 질산성 질소의 약 66%에 해당되는 많은 양의 아질산염이 축적되었다.

This research was done to evaluate the potential for destruction of perchlorate in municipal sewage. Laboratory experiments were conducted in flasks containing 3 liters of raw sewage. Sewage was mixed with defined amount of perchlorate and various additives. Perchlorate reduction in sewage did occur, but was quite variable, ranging from 0 to 72% over 72 hour. Addition of even a small amount of perchlorate acclimated biomass (167 mg/L SS) significantly reduced the lag and resulted in complete perchlorate removal. Perchlorate reduction in sewage-brine mixtures was inhibited when the dissolved oxygen level was greater than 2 mg/L, and when the mixture salinity was relatively high (conductivity = 14 mS with equivalent TDS = 8 g/L). When nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$) was present with perchlorate in the laboratory flask tests of sewage-brine mixtures, nitrate reduction proceeded first. A significant amount of nitrite ($NO_2{^-}$) accumulated in the sewage-brine mixtures, accounting for about 66% of initial nitrate nitrogen ($NO_3$-N).
