Formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) including trihalomethans (THMs), haloacetic acid (HAAs), haloacetonitriles (HANs) and others from chlorination of algogenic organic matter (AOM) of Microcystis sp., a blue-green algae. AOM of Microcystis sp. exhibited a high potential for DBPs formation. HAAs formation potential was higher than THMs and HANs formation potential. The percentages of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) formation potential were 43.4% and 51.4% in the total HAAs formation potential. In the case of HANs formation potential, percentage of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) formation potential was 97.7%. Other DBPs were aldehydes and nitriles such as acetaldehyde, methylene chloride, isobutyronitrile, cyclobutanecarbonitrile, pentanenitrile, benzaldehyde, propanal, 2-methyl, benzyl chloride, (2-chloroethyl)-benzene, benzyl nitrile, 2-probenenitrile and hexanal.

As a result of algal bloom, algal organic matters (AOMs) are rapidly increased in surface water. AOMs can act as precursors for the formation of harmful disinfection by-products (DBPs), which are serious problems in water treatment and human health. The main aim of this study is to characterize the formation of DBPs from AOMs produced by three different algae such as Oscillatoria sp., Anabaena sp., and Microcystis aeruginosa under different algal growth phases. In an effort to examine formation of DBPs during chlorination, chloroform (TCM), dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) were determined under various CT (product of disinfectant concentration and contact time, mg·min/L) values. Generally, the amounts of DBPs tended to increase with increasing CT values at the most growth phases. However, there was a significant difference between the amounts of DBPs produced by the three algal species at different growth phases. This result is likely due to the chemical composition variability of AOM from different algae at different growth phases. In addition, the effect of pre-ozonation on coagulation for the removal of AOMs from three algal species was investigated. The pre-ozonation had a positive effect on the coagulation/flocculation of AOMs.

This study was carried out to investigate the formation of DBPs(Disinfection By-products) such as trihalomethane(THMs) and haloacetic acid(HAAs) by chlorination in raw water and finished water of Water Treatment Plant(WTP). The formation of THMs was increased with the increase of pH and reaction time. HAAs was found as a high formation at a pH 7 and low formation at pH 9. THMFP(Trihalomethane Formation Potential) was the highest formation potential in raw water of Pu-1 and the lowest in raw water of Pa-1. In case of HAAFP(Haloacetic acid formation potential), So-1 showed the highest value, while Pa-1 showed the lowest value. It was investigated the relationship between HAAs and organic matters which were described as DOC(dissolved organic carbon) and $UV_{254}$. In both DOC and $UV_{254}$ versus HAAFP, Pu-1 showed the good correlation coefficients($r^2$) with 0.95 and 0.84, respectively. For three WTP investigated, DBPs(THMs + HAAs) was shown over the range of $42.00{\sim}49.36{\mu}g/L$. This result might be due to the different characteristic of organic matters in raw water and the difference of chlorine dosage for a water treatment.

Microcystis sp.의 부패과정에서 수중으로 용출되는 AOM 특성과 염소 이들에서의 disinfection by-products (DBPs) 생성특성을 조사하였다. 수중으로 용출된 EOM과 cell + IOM에서의 염소 DBPs 생성특성을 조사한 결과, EOM은 보관기간 초기부터 지속적으로 증가하였으나 cell + IOM의 경우는 급격한 감소경향을 나타내었으며, 생성된 DBPs 중 HAAFP가 가장 높은 생성비율을 나타내었다. 또한, 이 때의 DBP 구성종들의 변화를 살펴본 결과, HAA 구성종들의 경우는 EOM에서는 di-HAA 구성종들의 비율은 점점 감소하였고 tri-HAA 구성종들의 비율은 점점 증가하였다. 그러나 cell + IOM의 경우는 EOM의 경우와는 반대 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, HAN 구성종들의 경우는 EOM과 cell + IOM 모두 di-HAN 구성종들의 생성비율이 월등히 높았다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of a membrane bioreactor filled with high concentration of powdered activated carbon (HCPAC-MBR) to reduce DBPs at the drinking water treatment. The pilot system was installed after the rapid sand filtration process whose plant was the conventional treatment process. The removal efficiencies of DBPs were measured during pilot operation period of 2 years. HAA and THM removal rates could be maintained around 80~90% without any troubles and then tremendous reduction of HAA and THM reactivity were observed more than 52%. The average removal rate of HAA formation potential (FP) and THM formation potential (FP) were 70.5% and 67.6% respectively. It is clear that the PAC membrane bioreactor is highly applicable for advanced water treatment to control DBPs.

본 연구는 경북 소재 A정수장의 원수를 대상으로 pH, 수온, 염소주입량에 대한 소독부산물(trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, haloacetonitriles, chloral hydrate 등 16종) 생성능을 조사하고 여과수의 소독부산물 생성능과 비교하였다. 조사한 소독부산물의 생성능은 대부분 중성 pH에서 높았다. 다만, dichloroacetic acid, chloroform, bromodichloromethane의 생성능은 염기성 pH에서 증가하였다. Chloral hydrate, haloacetic acids, haloacetonitriles의 생성능은 수온의 증가와 함께 직선형으로 증가하였고, trihalomethanes의 생성능은 지수함수의 증가추세를 보였다. Chloral hydrate, trihalomethanes, trihaloacetonitriles의 생성능은 염소주입농도 2.0 mg/L $Cl_2$까지 급격하게 상승하였고, 2.0~5.6 mg/L $Cl_2$에서는 완만하게 증가하였다. 여과수의 소독부산물 생성능은 원수에 비해 대부분의 물질에서 낮게 나타났다. 다만, trihalomethanes은 여과수가 원수보다 약 1.4배 높은 생성률을 나타냈다.

While a range of natural organic matter (NOM) types can generate high levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs) after chlorination, there is little understanding of which specific compounds act as precursors. Use of eight model compounds allows linking of explicit properties to treatability and DBP formation potential (DBPFP). The removal of model compounds by various treatment processes and their haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP) before and after treatment were recorded. The model compounds comprised a range of hydrophobic (HPO) and hydrophilic (HPI) neutral and anionic compounds. On the treatment processes, an ozone oxidation process was moderate for control of model compounds, while the HPO-neutral compound was most treatable with activated carbon process. Biodegradation was successful in removing amino acids, while coagulation and ion exchange process had little effect on neutral molecules. Although compared with the HPO compounds the HPI compounds had low HAAFP the ozone oxidation and biodegradation were capable of increasing their HAAFP. In situations where neutral or HPI molecules have high DBPFP additional treatments may be required to remove recalcitrant NOM and control DBPs.

This study aims to identify the relationship between characteristics of aqueous organic matter and chlorination by-products formation potential according to temporal effect of Juam reservoir in Sun-Choen. The molecular weight distribution and chemical composition of precursors and their relationship with disinfection by-products(DBPs) were investigated. Most of the organic matters was responsible for the major DBP precursors in the raw water are small compounds with a molecular weight less than IKDa, Aromatic contents determined by SUVA correlated well with DBPs, THMs, and HAAs formation. Especially, THMFP/DOC showed better correlation with SUVA than HAAFP/DOC and DBPFP/DOC with SUVA in Juam reservoir. Therefore, effective removal of small molecules or hydrophobic organic matter prior to disinfection process will significantly reduce the DBP concentration in the finished water.

본 연구에서는 두 가지 기원의 표준 휴믹물질 혼합 시료와 Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA)을 사용하여 광분해로 인한 용존 유기물질의 스펙트럼 특성 변화와 이에 따른 소독 부산물 생성능의 변화를 조사하였다. 혼합시료의 염소소독부산물 발생잠재력(DBPFP)은 specific UV absorbance (SUVA) 값에 비례하여 증가하였다. 7일간 광분해 후 혼합시료의 SUVA 값은 모두 감소하였다. 그러나 동일 시료에서 DBPFP 값은 SUVA 감소폭보다 적었다. 비록 두 변수 사이에 직선성은 유지되었으나 같은 SUVA 범위 내에서의 DBPFP 값은 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이 결과는 광분해로 인해 염소소독부산물 전구체 역할을 하는 비방향족 물질이 생성될 수 있음을 시사하였다. SRFA 시료에 대해 4일과 13일 광분해하여 각각 저분자와 고분자 부분에서의 DBPFP 값을 비교한 결과 광분해 후 유기탄소 당 염소소독부산물 발생량 변화양상은 염소소독부산물 종류에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 유기탄소 당 trihalomethenes (THMs) 발생은 광분해 후 고분자 부분에서 더 높았으나 haloacetic acids(HAAs)의 경우 고분자와 저분자 부분 사이의 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 광분해 시간에 따른 유기탄소 당 DBPFP 값 변화 패턴도 용존 유기물 분자량에 따라 다르게 나타났다. THMs의 경우 고분자 부분에서는 광분해 시간에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 저분자에서는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 반면 HAAs은 고분자에서 지속적인 감소 경향을, 저분자 부분에서는 증가 후 다시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구결과 수중 유기물질은 전반적으로 광분해에 따라 소독부산물 생성능이 초기에 오히려 증가할 수 있으며 광분해 시간이 충분히 지속된 후에야 감소함을 보여주었다.

Formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) including trihalomethans (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) from chlorination of six different species (Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus sp., Anabaena cylindrical, Microcystis aeruginosa, Asterionella formosa and Aulacoseira sp.) of algal extracellular organic matter (EOM). The EOM characteristics evaluation of six algal species reaching at the stationary phase in the growth curve showed most of its SUVA254 showed below 1 and this means hydrophilic organic matter is much higher than hydrophobic organic matter. Chloroform formation potential (CFFP), dichloroacetic acid formation potential (DCAAFP) and trichloroacetic acid formation potential (TCAAFP) were mainly composed of THMFP and HAAFP in the EOM of various algal species. In the case of THMFP/DOC and HAAFP/DOC values, EOM of blue-green algae has appeared highest and EOM of green algae and diatom in order. THMFP/DOC was higher than HAAFP/DOC in EOM of blue-green algae. In comparison of formation potential by unit DOC composed of HAAFP in algal species EOM, DCAAFP/DOC was 1.5 times to 7.5 time higher than TCAAFP/DOC in the EOM of blue-green algae, while DCAAFP/DOC was found to be relatively high compared to TCAAFP/DOC in the EOM of green algae and diatom.
