Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find the regeneration method of filter media using physical and chemical treatment for restoration of phosphorus adsorption ability. The filtration material used in this study is called Adphos. In an experiment of heating treatment, re-used filter media is heated to a high temperature before the adsorption test. The results show that the $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0021 - 0.0030 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 26.1 - 39.4%. In the experiment of acid or basic treatment, re-used filter media is exposed to a different pH condition before the adsorption test. The results show that the $PO_4^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0010 - 0.0066 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 15.8 - 87.1% after the acid treatments which have pH values of 1 - 5. However, after the basic treatments which have pH values of 8 - 11, the results show that the $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0018 - 0.0034 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 26.7 - 48.0%. In an experiment of chemical treatment using NaCl, re-used filter media was exposed to a different NaCl concentration before the adsorption test. The results show that the $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ adsorption capacity is in the range of 0.0036 - 0.0050 mg/g and the removal efficiency is in the range of 50.5 - 71.1%. In conclusion, chemical treatment using NaCl shows a high recovery probability of phosphorus adsorption ability of filter media.
본 연구에서는 물리화학적 처리를 통하여 여재의 인 흡착능 회복을 위한 재생 방안을 연구하는 데 그 목적을 둔다. 실험에 사용한 여재는 Adphos이다. 열 처리 방법의 경우, 기 사용한 여재를 고온에 가열한 후 흡착실험을 수행한 결과, 재사용 여재의 $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ 흡착량은 0.0021 - 0.0030 mg/g, 제거효율은 26.1 - 39.4%의 범위로 나타났다. 산 또는 pH 조건을 조절하여 수행한 실험 결과, 산성을 띠는 pH 1 - pH 5 조건에 처리한 경우 재사용 여재의 $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ 흡착량은 0.0010 - 0.0066 mg/g, 제거효율은 15.8 - 87.1% 범위로 나타났다. 염기성을 띠는 pH 8 - pH 11 조건에 처리한 경우 재사용 여재의 $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ 흡착량은 0.0018 - 0.0034 mg/g, 제거효율은 26.7 - 48.0% 범위로 조사되었다. 0.1 M, 0.01 M, 0.001 M 농도의 NaCl에 처리한 경우 재사용 여재의 $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ 흡착량은 0.0036 - 0.0050 mg/g, 제거효율은 50.5 - 71.1%로 나타나 0.1 M NaCl을 이용한 약품처리법에서 재사용 여재의 인 흡착능 회복성이 높은 것으로 조사되었다.
