Abstract

In this study, three pilot-scale wetland systems were built for treating stormwater runoff from asphalt road. Each of the system consists of a settling tank and a vertical flow wetland packed with 25%, 50%, and 75% woodchip as treatment media. According to the analysis of the distributions of particle size, it was found that solids ranging in size $0.52-30{\mu}m$ were predominant in the stormwater runoff. After 24-hours settling, those coarser than $20{\mu}m$ were significantly detained. Further retention, especially for the finer-sized fraction, occurred in the wetland through internal recirculation during the dry day periods. As a primary media of the wetland, woodchip showed a high filtration and attachment capacity for the particulates in pre-settled stormwater, whereas overall amount of solids in the wetland effluent increased due to the detachment of woody elements from the media. This was observed mainly during the initial 75 days of operation, and the size and detachment rate were found to be strongly related with the woodchip packing ratio. The mechanism involving woody particle detachment was modeled as a first-order form. In addition, water quality factors and operational parameters affecting the detachment were analyzed and discussed.

본 연구에서는 포장도로에서 발생되는 강우유출수 처리를 위하여 파일럿 규모의 우드칩 충진 수직흐름형 습지를 이용하여 처리시험을 수행하였다. 각 습지는 전처리 목적의 침강지와 우드칩이 전체용적의 25%, 50%, 75%가 충진된 습지로 구성되어 있다. 입도분석 결과 강우유출수에 함유된 입자의 크기는 0.52-30um 크기가 주종을 이루고 있으며 24시간 침강 후에 20um 이상의 입자는 대부분 제거되었다. 또한 20um 보다 작은 크기의 입자는 건기시 수행되는 내부순환에 의해 여과 및 부착 등의 기작에 의해 상당부분 제거되었으나 전체적인 입자의 양은 우드칩의 연화과정에서 탈리되는 입자들에 의해 증가하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 우드칩으로 부터 입자탈리는 초기 75일 동안에 걸쳐 발생하였으며 발생된 우드칩 입자의 농도(밀도)는 충진율이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 본 논문에서는 우드칩 탈리과정을 설명할 수 있는 1차 반응속도 모델을 제안하였으며 우드칩 탈리에 영향을 미치는 주요 수질인자 및 운전조건과의 관계를 분석한 결과 수질인자 중에는 수온, 용존산소, pH 등이 주요 영향인자로 파악되었으며 운전조건으로는 습지내부 운전수위 및 선행건기일수도 탈리속도를 결정하는 주요 변수로 분석되었다.
