Abstract

Over the past decade, an increasing number of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) have been incorporated into products and manufacturing processes due to the rapid innovation and commercialization in the field of nanotechnology. In addition, these nanomaterials and nano-consumer products have increased in quantity per year, and thus their uncontrolled release into the environment is anticipated to grow dramatically in future. However, A current sewage/wastewater treatment plant (SWTP) is being applied to removal of nanoparticles in wastewater. In Korea, the study on the removal of nanoparticles in SWTP was not reported yet. Therefore, in this work, to design pilot STP before field test, two model equations and commercial process simulation were used to derive the desing parameters.

지난 수년간 나노기술의 혁신성과 다양한 나노소비제의 적용으로 수많은 나노물질들이 제조되었다. 아울러 나노물질과 나노소비재의 연간 생산량이 증가하고 있어서, 의도하지 않은 환경 노출이 야기되고 있다. 그러나 나노물질을 함유한 폐수는 기존 하폐수처리 시설을 이용하고 있는 실정이다. 국내는 지금까지 실제 하폐수처리장내 나노물질 제거효율을 평가한 사례가 없다. 이에 현장 노출평가에 앞서 파일럿 규모의 하수처리장치를 설계하고자, 설계인자 도출을 위한 슬러지내 나노물질 제거 모델식과 상용 공정 시뮬레이션을 이용하였다.
