Abstract

This study investigated formation potential of 16 disinfection byproducts (DBPs) (e.g., g trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, haloacetonitriles, chloral hydrate, etc.) upon chlorination of raw water at various pH, water temperatures, and chlorine doses. We also compared the DBP formation potential (DBPFP) of raw and filtered waters. Most of DBPs were formed higher at neutral pH, but dichloroacetic acid, chloroform, and bromodichloromethane were formed higher over pH 7. As water temperature increased, concentrations of chloral hydrate, haloacetic acids, and haloacetonitriles linearly increased while that of trihalomethanes exponentially increased. Formation of chloral hydrate, trihalomethanes, and trihaloacetonitriles significantly increased up to 2.0 mg/L $Cl_2$ of chlorine addition, then gradually increased at 2.0~5.6 mg/L $Cl_2$. Filtered water formed less DBPs than raw water in most DBPs except for trihalomethanes.

본 연구는 경북 소재 A정수장의 원수를 대상으로 pH, 수온, 염소주입량에 대한 소독부산물(trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, haloacetonitriles, chloral hydrate 등 16종) 생성능을 조사하고 여과수의 소독부산물 생성능과 비교하였다. 조사한 소독부산물의 생성능은 대부분 중성 pH에서 높았다. 다만, dichloroacetic acid, chloroform, bromodichloromethane의 생성능은 염기성 pH에서 증가하였다. Chloral hydrate, haloacetic acids, haloacetonitriles의 생성능은 수온의 증가와 함께 직선형으로 증가하였고, trihalomethanes의 생성능은 지수함수의 증가추세를 보였다. Chloral hydrate, trihalomethanes, trihaloacetonitriles의 생성능은 염소주입농도 2.0 mg/L $Cl_2$까지 급격하게 상승하였고, 2.0~5.6 mg/L $Cl_2$에서는 완만하게 증가하였다. 여과수의 소독부산물 생성능은 원수에 비해 대부분의 물질에서 낮게 나타났다. 다만, trihalomethanes은 여과수가 원수보다 약 1.4배 높은 생성률을 나타냈다.
