Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop EM media for water treatment and to remove nitrogen and phosphorus which cause water algae boom in water system. The ideal mixing ratio of raw material such as clay: zeolite: vermiculite: activated carbon for manufacturing the EM media was 10: 2.5: 0.1: 2, and the calcination temperature was $700^{\circ}C$. The comparison of the physical properties of manufactures using distilled water and EM activated liquid as the material mixture are as follows. Porosity and density of EM media were 39.98 % and $1.13kg/m^3$, adsorption efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus were 69.3 % and 38.9 %. In contrast, porosity and density of distilled water media were 37.80 % and $1.11kg/m^3$, and adsorption efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus were 62.5 % and 37.8 %. The adsorption rate of nitrogen and phosphorus in the EM media was higher than that of the distilled water made one by 6.8 % and 1.1 %, respectively. The adsorption characteristics of the media to nitrogen and phosphorus could be expressed by the Freudlich adsorption isotherm. The change of calcination time did not affect the adsorption efficiency of phosphorus and nitrogen when EM media was formed, but it was considered that it affects the strength of media. Nitrogen removal efficiency was the best record in 4 hours of calcination time and 3 hours of calcination time in phosphorus removal efficiency.

수계의 조류발생 원인물질인 질소와 인을 제거할 목적으로 수처리용 EM 담체를 개발한 후, 물리적 특성에 대하여 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. EM 담체를 제조하기 위한 점토 : 제올라이트 : 질석 : 활성탄의 배합비율은 10 : 2.5 : 0.1 : 2, 소성온도는 $700^{\circ}C$가 적합하였다. EM 담체의 공극률과 밀도는 39.98 %와 $1.13kg/m^3$, 질소와 인의 흡착효율은 69.3 %와 38.9 %, 증류수 담체의 공극률과 밀도는 37.80 %와 $1.11kg/m^3$, 질소와 인의 흡착효율은 62.5 %와 37.8 %로 나타났다. EM 담체가 증류수 담체에 비하여 질소의 흡착효율은 6.8 %, 인의 흡착효율은 1.1 %가 크게 나타났다. 담체의 질소와 인에 대한 흡착특성은 Freudlich 흡착등온식으로 표현이 가능하였다. 소성시간의 변화는 EM 담체를 성형할 때 질소의 인의 흡착효율에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였으나 담체의 강도에는 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 질소의 제거효율은 소성시간 4시간, 인의 제거효율은 소성시간 3시간에서 가장 우수하였다.
