This study was evaluated the characteristics of organic materials in the water source and the removal characteristics of organic materials by ultrafiltration including mixing and coagulation process. As a results of the study, it was found that the total organic carbon in the water source was mostly caused by the dissolved organic materials. As the specific ultraviolet absorbance value of the raw water was low, we found the soluble organic material has a high hydrophilic and low molecular material composition ratio. As a result of ultrafiltration experiment including mixing and coagulation process, the average removal rate of total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 were 37.9%, 30.3%, and 28.2%, respectively.

Changes in spectroscopic characteristics and pyrene binding coefficients of terrestrial dissolved organic matters(DOM) were investigated during microbial incubation. The incubation studies were conducted for 21 days using a leaf litter DOM and a soilderived DOM with an inoculum from a river. The dissolved organic carbon(DOC), the specific UV absorbance(SUVA), the synchronous fluorescence spectra, and the pyrene organic carbon-normalized binding coefficient(K$_{oc}$) of the DOM were measured at the incubation days of 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21. After the 21-day incubation, DOC were reduced to 61% and 51% of the original concentrations of the litter DOM and the soil-derived DOM, respectively. Comparison of the spectroscopic characteristics before and after the incubation revealed that the SUVA, the fulvic-like fluorescence(FLF), the humic-like fluorescence(HLF) of the different DOM were enhanced by the incubation whereas the protein-like fluorescence(PLF) was reduced. This indicates that more aromatic and humic-like compounds were enriched during the biodegradation process while biodegradable and weak carbon structures were depleted. Irrespective of the DOM sources, SUVA values showed a positive relationship with pyrene K$_{oc}$ with a correlation coefficient of 0.97. The FLF and HLF also exhibited good correlations with K$_{oc}$ values although different regression equations were obtained from the different DOM. Our results suggest that the selected spectroscopic characteristics could be good estimation indices for the changes of the binding reactivity of DOM for hydrophobic organic contaminants during biodegradation process.

This study investigated influence of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in natural organic matter (NOM) on the formation of organic chloramines upon monochloramination. Ratios of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to DON of the 16 NOM isolates ranged from 7 to 47 mg-C/mg-N. Levels of organic chloramines maxed in 24 hours at $0.16mg-Cl_2/mg-N$ in average. The yields were relatively lower, but decay of organic chloramines were slower than those upon chlorination. Organic chloramines formed upon monochloramination decreased by 56% in average in 120 h. NOM with lower DOC/DON ratios formed more organic chloramines. NOM fractions such as hydrophobic, hydrophilic, transphilic, and colloidal did not significantly impact formation of organic chloramines. As the monochloramine doses increased, more organic chloramines were produced ($R^2=0.91$). Overestimation of disinfection capacity due to the formation of organic chloramines may not be concerns for monochloramine systems since only 6% of monochloramine could be converted to organic chloramines upon monochloramination of NOM.

This study evaluates the effect of dissolved effluent organic matter (SE-dEfOM) from sewage wastewater treatment plants on the adsorption and estrogenic activity of bisphenol A (BPA). Specific ultraviolet absorbance and fluorescence index analyses indicated that SE-dEfOM was mainly microbially derived non-humic substances differed from Suwannee River natural organic matter (SR-NOM) as reference. Both Langmuir and Freundlich models successfully explained the adsorption of BPA onto both SE-dEfOM and SR-NOM. Additionally, the SE-dEfOM showed higher binding capacities and affinities for BPA than those of SR-NOM, resulting in better reduction of the estrogenic activity of BPA. These findings suggest that the binding and toxicity of BPA are largely dependent on the source of organic matters.

Although formation of organic chloramines have been studied for decades, most of them have involved model organic compounds (e.g., amino acids) but not naturally occurring organic nitrogen in water. This study investigated formation of organic chloramines during chlorination of 16 natural organic matters (NOM) solutions which were isolated from surface water and contained dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). Organic chloramine yields per chlorine consumption was $0.25mg-Cl_2/mg-Cl_2$. Upon chlorination of NOM solutions, organic chloramines were rapidly formed within 10 minutes. The average organic chloramine yields upon addition of chlorine in to NOM solutions were $0.78mg-Cl_2/mg-DON$ at 10 minutes and $0.16mg-Cl_2/mg-DON$ at 24 hours. Organic chloramine yields increased as the dissolved organic carbon/dissolved organic nitrogen (DOC/DON) ratios decreased. Chlorination of molecular weight (10,000 Da) fractionated samples showed that the influence of DON molecular weights on the organic chloramine formation was minimal.

The objectives of this research are to investigate the mechanism of coagulation affecting UF and find out the optimum conditions of the combined of coagulation with UF membrane filtration for NOM removal. During the mixing period, substantial changes in particle size distribution occurred under rapid and slow mixing condition due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM precipitates. Therefore, combined pretreatment using coagulation (both rapid mixing and slow mixing) improved dissolved removal efficiency. Also, for combined coagulation to membrane process, flux reduction rate showed lower than only UF process. The rate of flux decline for the hydrophobic membrane was considerably greater than for the hydrophilic membrane. Applying coagulation process before membrane filtration showed not only reducing membrane fouling, but also improving the removal of dissolved organic materials that might otherwise not be removed by the membrane.

정수공정은 "원수 -1 침사지 1 전염소 -1 전오존 -1 침전지 1 여과지 1 후오존 1 GAC 4 후염소 1 가정수"로 이루어져 있으며 전처리 공정으로 염 소와 오존을 주입하게 되는데, 여기서 전염소 처리 공정으로 인해 잔류 유리염 소가 수중의 유기물질과 반웅하여 유해성 유기염소 화합물 (i.e.. Trihalomethane, Haloacetonitriles, Chlorophenol 등)을 생성하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 이유로 고도 정수처리 공정에서는 강한 산화력을 지닌 대체 산화 제로서 오존을 이용하고 있다. 전오존 처리공정은 OOC와 탁도 제거에 있어 응 집제 주입량을 감소시키는 것과 더불어 전오존 효과 (산화, 생분해 증대, 살균 등)를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 낙동강과 같이 유기물이 많은 원수에 과다한 오존이 주입되면 수중 의 유기물이 저분자화 또는 응집이 어려운 오존 산화물로 변화하여 응집제의 소비가 많아지게 된다. 실제, 오존을 응집 효과에 대해서 pilot plant로 운전한 결과 전오존에 의해 입자성 물질의 제거 효율은 향상된 반면에 유기물 제거는 뚜렷한 효과를 볼 수 없었다고 보고되었다 (류, 1997). 본 연구에서는 물금 지역의 원수와 응집-침전 공정까지 거치는 각각의 처 리수에 대해서 전처리가 응집에 미치는 영향을 천연유기물질 (NOM)의 조성 변화로 파악하였다. 그 방법으로 천연유기물질 (NOM)을 XAD-1, -4 수지를 이 용하여 소수성 물질 (hydrophobic components)과 친수성 물질 (hydrophilic components)로 분리 및 농축하여 용존 유기물이 처리 과정에서 어떻게 변화하 는지를 조사하여 개선된 상수 처리 시스템을 설계하는데 기초 자료를 제공하고 수질 관리 분야에서도 적용하고자 하였다. 상수원수인 물금 지역의 소수성 물질(hydrophobic components)은 75~80%, 친수성 물질(hydrophilic components)은 30~33%정도의 분포를 보였고, 전염소 및 전오존 공정을 거친 처리수에서는 각각 62.2-62.8%, 43.9~49.0% 및 50~ 55%, 40~57% 정도의 분포를 보였다. 그리고 웅집-침전을 거친 처리수에서는 그 분포가 77~82%, 24-48%였다. 전주리 공정을 통하여 소수성 물질(byoghobic components)의 분포가 감 소하는 것을 볼 때 전염소 및 전오존 처리가 용존유기물의 응집에는 오히려 역 효과를 나타내는 것으로 판단된다. 것으로 판단된다.

Riverbank filtration is a natural process, using alluvial aquifers to remove contaminants and pathogens in river water for the production of drinking water. In Korea, most of the drinking water is supplied by surface water in-take. However, maintaining the quality of the drinking water becomes more and more difficult due to the increase of contamination. In riverbank filtration, the understanding of contaminant transport is an important task for the production of high quality drinking water and for the maintenance of facilities. In this paper, the transport behavior of hydrophobic organic contaminants is investigated when contaminants coexist with dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacteria. In the developed model, the aquifer is thought of as a four phase system: two mobile colloidal phases, an aqueous phase, and a stationary solid matrix phase. The model equations are solved numerically for various situations. Results indicate that the presence of colloidal matters can enhance the mobility of contaminant significantly and that partitioning coefficients play an important role in the process.
