담수생태계에서 Pseudanabaena는 이취미 물질(2-MIB)을 생산하여 물이용을 저해하는 남조류로 알려져 있으나, 2-MIB 생산과 관련하여 이 속에 속한 균주들의 동태에 미치는 환경요인에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 P. redekei의 온도에 따른 성장과 2-MIB 생산 특성을 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 남조류는 북한강 수계의 의암댐에서 분리하여 BG-11 배지에서 배양하였다. 실험온도 조건은 현장의 계절별 온도를 반영하여 10, 15, 20, 25, 30℃로 설정하여 18일간 배양하였으며, 2일 간격으로 전체 생물량(Chl-a)과 세포 내 함량과 세포 외 농도로 구분하여 2-MIB 농도를 측정하였다. 최고 생물량(Chl-a)과 가장 높은 총 2-MIB 농도는 각각 30℃, 25℃에서 나타났다. 세포 내 2-MIB 함량은 처리온도에 관계없이 비슷한 농도(26~29 ng L^-1)를 나타냈지만, 세포 외 2-MIB 농도는 25~30℃의 고온 조건에서만 높게 나타나 온도에 따라 2-MIB 합성과 세포외 배출 특성이 다른 경향을 보여주었다. 2-MIB 생산력은 고온 조건에 비해 10~15℃의 저온 조건에서 더 높았으며, 25℃ 이상의 온도에서는 매우 낮았다. 본 연구 결과는 수온이 P. redekei의 성장과 연계하여 세포 내 2-MIB 합성과 세포 외 용출에 관여하는 중요한 인자임을 증명하였으며, 이를 통해 상수원에서 이취미 물질 발생 원인종의 성장과 이취미 물질의 동태를 이해하고, 동시에 이취미 물질 관리에 대한 중요한 기초 정보를 제공하고자 하였다.

Powered activated carbon(PAC) has been widely applied for controling odor causing compounds(OCCs) from water treatment plants. Because of their volatility, the OCCs can also be removed from water by air stripping methods. In this study, OCCs removal was tested with PAC adsorption, air stripping, and both PAC adsorption and air stripping from the Taecheong lake water. Removal efficiency of OCCs in terms of threshold odor number(TON) were 39.6% by both PAC (15mg/L) adsorption and aeration for 30 min, 33.6% by PAC(15mg/L) adsorption alone for 30 min, and 22.9% by aeration alone for 30 min, respectively. OCCs could be removed up to 50% by aeration for 120 min without PAC adsorption. At an extended aeration with 15mg/L of PAC, OCCs removal occurred mainly by PAC adsorption within 30 min aeration while it continued by air stripping afterward. At simulated jar tests with the raw water, removal efficiencies of geosmin and MIB were 48.3, 36.1% by coagulation and sedimentation without PAC addition. With 15mg/L of PAC on the same jar tests, the removal efficiencies were 83.1, 60.1%, respectively. Without PAC, OCCs could be possibly removed by stripping during the agitation processes.

Taste and odor (T&O) problems in drinking water supplies caused by eutrophication have become increasingly important because aesthetic qualities are the primary measures by which consumers estimate the quality of their drinking water. In order to overcome T&O problem, it is necessary to early detection method for T&O compounds before these compounds enter to water treatment plant. In this background, a early waming device for T&O compounds was developed and its performance tested under different operating condition. According to the experimental results on the adsorption efficiency of T&O compounds, when the raw water flowrate was 5 mL/min, the optimum stripping time and air flowrate were 5 hrs and 0.5 L/min, respectively. Comparison of activated carbon showed that foreign activated carbon was better than domestic activated carbon in terms of adsorption efficiency.

자연계에서 발생하는 이취미 문제는 주로 조류나 박테리아와 같은 미생물의 신진대사에 기인한다. 이취미와 관련한 원인물질은 주로 MIB와 Geosmin으로서 이는 9ng/L와 4 ng/L의 아주 저농도에서도 흙과 곰팡이 냄새를 일으킨다. 정수처리공정에서는 분말활성탄을 이용한 이취미 유발물질 제어기술이 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 단일성분과 이성분계에 있어서의 흡착등온실험을 통하여 최적의 PAC 투여량과 반응시간에 대하여 고찰하였으며 또한 원수를 이용하여 수중에 포함된 자연유기물질의 영향을 고찰하였다. 연구결과 자연유기물질의 유무에 관계없이 Geosmin의 흡착능이 우수하였으며, 자연유기물질이 존재할 경우 MIB와 Geosmin 모두 4배 정도의 흡착능 저하를 보였다. 초기농도 100ng/L 정도의 원수의 경우 99%의 제거율을 얻기 위해서는 PAC 투여량 20mg/L, 4시간 이상의 반응시간을 필요로 하였다.

This study was designed to analyse the odor from Nam river. The characteristic odor in the water occurred from geosmin and phenol, p-cresol and indol were detected from sediment/water samples. The others were detected as alcohols and fat acid compounds. Algae causing odor and taste were identified as Oscillatoria sp. and Synedra acus. 15 species of phytoplankton, a zooplankton, an eelworm and chironomus were identified in water/sediment sample.

The efficiency of powdered activated carbon (PAC) for removing taste and odor (T&O) in drinking water supplies is dependent on the contact time, quality of mixing, and the presence of competing compounds. All of these are strongly influenced by the stage in the treatment process at which the PAC is added. In conventional water treatment plants (WTPs), PAC is commonly added into the rapid mixing basin where chemicals such as coagulants, alkaline chemicals, and chlorine, are simultaneously applied. In order to prevent interference between PAC and other water treatment chemicals, alternative locations for addition of PAC, such as at transmission pipe in the water intake tower or into a separated PAC contactor, were investigated. Whatever the location, addition of PAC apart from other water treatment chemicals was more effective for geosmin removal than simultaneous addition. Among several combinations, the sequence 'chlorine-PAC-coagulant' produced the best result with respect to geosmin removal efficiency. Consequently, when PAC has to be applied to cope with T&O problems in conventional WTPs, it is very important to prevent interference with other water treatment chemicals, such as chlorine and coagulant. Adequate contact time should also be given for adsorption of the T&O compounds onto the PAC. To satisfy these conditions, installation of a separated PAC contactor would be the superior alternative if there is space available in the WTP. If necessary, PAC could be added at transmission pipe in the water intake tower and still provide some benefit for T&O treatment.

The masking effect of chlorine on algae-related taste and odor(T&O) compounds has long been an important issue for water suppliers. In this study, masking experiments with chlorine were performed on two kinds of treated water and one of raw water. After adding chlorine(0 to 0.8 mg/L) to water samples, odor intensity was evaluated by a newly developed sensory method(2-out-of-5 odor test) for three days along with the measurement of residual chlorine concentration. Even though the relationship between the residual chlorine concentration and odor reported by the sensory analysts was not always coincident, it was proved that residual chlorine more than a certain concentration could completely mask both added geosmin and naturally occurring T&O compounds. For the sand-filtered water spiked with 10 ng/L of geosmin, 0.12-0.18 mg/L of residual chlorine was necessary to achieve complete masking. In the case of GAC-filtered water, 10 ng/L of spiked geosmin was completely masked by 0.15-0.1 mg/L of residual chlorine. Combined ozone and GAC was not enough to treat raw water spiked with 300 ng/L of geosmin. In this experiment, sensory analysts were able to detect earthy or musty odors from the treated water. From a masking experiment with raw water taken from the Daechung Reservoir, it was found that fishy odor was more difficult to mask with chlorine than earthy odor. As the chlorine residual declined, the analysts began to notice the original odor and the fishy odor was noticed earlier than the earthy odor.

수돗물에서 geosmin과 2-MIB에 의한 곰팡이와 흙냄새는 소비자들에 대한 수돗물불신의 주된 요인이다. 따라서 geosmin과 2-MIB의 조기 검출 및 분석방법은 이취미 문제를 예방하는데 있어서 중요한 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 교반막대 추출법 (SBSE)과 GC/MS를 이용하여 geosmin과 2-MIB의 분석방법에 대하여 살펴보았다. 용매를 사용하지 않고 시료를 추출하는 SBSE 방법을 최적화하여 수중의 geosmin과 2-MIB를 분석하는데 적용하였다. 실험 결과 SBSE 방법은 간단하고 신속한 분석이 가능하여 소량(10~20 mL)의 시료를 사용하여 한 번에 많은 시료를 동시에 분석할 수 있었다. 그리고 SBSE 방법은 높은 회수율과 재현성을 보였다. 검출한계는 1~2 ng/L 이었으며 정량한계는 3~6 ng/L 이었다. 무엇보다도 SBSE는 수중의 geosmin과 2-MIB를 분석하는 데에 매우 신뢰성이 있고 실용적인 방법이라고 판단된다.

I. 서론 : 음용수 중의 악취 발생사건은 오염 수돗물에 의한 피해지역이 광범위할 뿐만 아니라 사건발생 즉시 해당 정수장에서 적절히 대처하지 못할 경우 악취 수돗물에 의한 주민의 불안감은 크다고 하겠다. 뿐만 아니라 악취 오염물질을 규명하는 노력이 환경과학 및 환경공학의 체계적이고 구체적인 밑받침이 없이 이루어질 경우 원인물질을 잘못 규정하는 등 구체적인 방향성을 상실하게 되어 많은 수돗물 사용 시민의 음용수 관련행정에 대한 우려와 불신을 증폭시키게 된다. 따라서 음용수의 냄새생성 원인을 규명하고 악취 발생시 정수장 근무자들의 비상 대처방안을 마련하는 것이 시급하다고 하겠다. 본 글에서는 음용수 오염과 관련하여 악취발생의 원인을 발생일자별로 구분하고 그 대처방안에 대하여 검토하였다.

Adsorption isotherms and kinetics for taste and odor (T&O) compounds and natural organic matters (NOMs) were performed to evaluate the impacts of activated carbon particle size on coagulation and adsorption. Adsorption capacities for iodine, T&O compounds, and NOM of all the activated carbons under #325 mesh were more excellent than those of virgin activated carbons. Small activated carbon particles were more rapidly adsorbed low molecular weight T&O compounds in the water, while those were slowly adsorbed high molecular weight NOM. When the activated carbon and alum were added simultaneously, the adsorption capacity for organics was better than alum was added alone.
