초록

인공방사성핵종 I-131은 물속에서 요오드 이온($^{131}I^-$), 요오드산염 이온($^{131}IO_3{^-}$) 등 대부분 이온상태로 존재했으며 접촉시간이 짧을 경우, 정수약품(PACl)과 분말활성탄(PAC)에 의해 제거되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 원수 탁도 증가에 따른 I-131의 제거 효과는 없었으나 분말활성탄과 I-131과의 접촉시간 증가에 따른 I-131의 제거율은 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 혼합 주입(PACl + PAC)에 의한 I-131을 40% 이상 제거하기 위해서는 PACl 24 mg/L 이상, PAC 40 mg/L 이상을 주입해야 하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 모래여과에 의한 I-131은 제거되지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 입상활성탄(GAC)에 의한 제거율은 신탄, 구탄 모두에서 최소검출한계 0.10 Bq/L 미만으로 거의 100% 제거됨을 알 수 있었다. 막에 의한 I-131의 제거율은 정밀여과막에 의해서는 제거되지 않았으며 역삼투막에서는 92%가 제거되었다.

Iodine-131, an artificial radionuclide, mostly exists as iodide ion ($^{131}I^-$) and iodate ion ($^{131}IO_3{^-}$) in the water, and When a short time contacted, it could not be removed by poly aluminum chloride (PACl) and powdered activated carbon (PAC). Although the removal rate of iodine-131 was not related with turbidity of raw water, it showed linear relationship with contact time with PAC. With the mixture of PACl (24 mg/L or more) and PAC (40 mg/L or more), about 40% of iodine-131 could be removed. Iodine-131 could be removed little by sand filtration, but approximately 100% by granular activated carbon (GAC), both virgin-GAC and spent-GAC. Microfiltration process could remove little iodine-131 while reverse osmosis process could remove about 92% of iodine-131.
