Abstract

Due to global warming and abnormal climate, the incidence and scale of green tracts in rivers and water intake dam are increasing every year. Therefore, in this study, developed eco friendly positively charged Torrefied Wood Flour(TWF) coagulant by reusing wood damaged by blight as a natural material. In order to evaluate the effect of coagulant on water ecosystem, green algae contaminated water was collected and TOC showed high removal rate of 86% ~ 92% under 1% and 5% TWF C-PAM treatment condition. The $NH_3-N$ showed 53% removal efficiency. The average pH of the polluted water was 7.9 in the case of hydrogen ion concentration, and the pH of the treated water was in the range of 6.5 ~ 7.7, It was found to be suitable for water quality standards. In ecotoxicity tests, all the results of the experiment showed that both the number of green algae and that of treated water were not affected by the survival of the daphnia. Therefore, as a result of the analyzing, developed paste type TWF coagulants is considered to be able to remove algae using natural resources.

지구온난화와 이상기후의 발생으로 매년 하절기 취수원 및 하천의 녹조발생 빈도 및 규모와 이를 처리하기 위한 비용이 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 국내의 경우 녹조발생 현장에 황토의 살포와 정수 및 하수처리장은 Alum과 PAC와 같은 알루미늄 계열의 응집제를 첨가하여 수중의 영양염류를 제어하고 있다. 그러나 응집제의 과다투입은 사람에게 중추신경계의 병을 유발할 수 있으며, 2차적으로 동 식물의 고사 등과 같은 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 천연재료로 병충해 피해를 입은 목재를 재이용하여 친환경 양전하성 반탄화목분과 응집제를 개발하였으며, 개발된 응집제를 이용한 오염수의 처리시 TOC와 $NH_3-N$, pH, 생태독성을 분석하여 개발한 응집제의 효과와 수생태계에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 한다. 응집제의 수생태계에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 녹조 오염수를 채수하였으며, TOC의 경우 1%와 5% 반탄화목분 C-PAM의 처리조건에서 86-92%로 높은 제거율을 나타냈다. $NH_3-N$의 경우 53% 제거효율을 나타냈으며, 수소이온농도의 경우 녹조가 발생된 오염수의 평균 pH 7.9였으며, 처리수의 수소이온농도는 pH 6.5-7.7사이로 수질환경기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 생태독성실험 결과 모든 실험결과에서 물벼룩이 사멸하지 않고 생존함으로써 녹조수와 처리수 모두 독성의 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 양전하성 표면개질처리 반탄화목분의 수생태계에 미치는 영향평가를 위해 TOC, $NH_3-N$, pH, Chlorophyll-a, 생태독성을 분석한 결과 천연자원을 활용한 조류제거가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
