The effect of ozone on the formation and the removal of disinfection byproducts(DBPs) of chlorination process was studied to elucidate the performance of water treatment process. The samples of raw water, prechlorination process, and preozonation process were analyzed quantitatively according to the Standard Methods for the Examination of drinking water. As a result, most of total trihalomethanes(THMs) which were formed in prechlorine treatment process was not removed in the preozonation process. Most of haloacetic acids(HAAs), haloacetonitriles(HANs), and chloral hydrate(CH) was removed in sedimentation and biological activated carbon(BAC) filtration processes. However, DBPs were increased more or less by postchlorine step. In particular, the formation of THMs and HAAs depends on ozone more than chlorine, but, the formation of HANs and CH depends on chlorine more than ozone. The seasonal variation of DBPs concentration for the year needs to be investigated to study the temperature effect because DBPs strongly depend on temperature among various efficient factors.

전세계적으로 과불화 화합물들에 의한 오염은 심각한 수준에 도달해 있다. 이들은 난분해성으로 환경에 장기간 머물며 생물축적 (bioaccumulation) 및 생물확대 (biomagnification)의 원인 물질로 인간과 동물들에게 심각한 피해를 유발한다. 또한, 이들은 광분해, 생물분해 및 화학적인 분해에도 매우 큰 내성을 가지고 있기 때문에 상 하수 처리공정에서 과불화 화합물에 대한 제거율이 낮다. 국내의 경우는 아직까지 주요 하천과 호소에서의 이들의 오염현황에 대한 변변한 조사나 연구보고도 없는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 과불화 화합물들에 대한 국내에서의 관심을 고조시키기 위해 과불화 화합물의 종류 및 유래, 위해성, 상수와 하수에서의 거동 및 처리공정으로 나누어 과불화 화합물들에 대해 간략하게 기술하였다.

조류는 호소의 부영양화 현상을 발생시킬 뿐 아니라 전반적인 정수처리공정에 많은 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 그 중에서도 조류 세포와 조류유래 유기물질(Algogenic Organic Matter; AOM)은 휴믹물질처럼 염소 소독 시 유해성 물질인 소독부산물질(Disinfection By-Products; DBPs)을 형성하는 전구물질이다. 본 연구는 전 염소처리와 응집공정에 의한 조류유래 유기물질의 제거특성 변화를 확인하였으며, 또한 부영양화된 호소수 처리 공정으로 철(III)을 이용한 고도응집공정과 UV산화 공정의 적용성을 평가하였다. 전 염소처리공정은 조류제거에는 효과적이지만 수중의 DOC(Dissoluble Organic Carbon)농도와 TMHs(Trihalomethanes) 생성량을 증가시켰다. 응집실험에서는 응집 반응 pH가 조류유래 유기물질과 소독부산물질 제거에 있어 중요한 인자로 작용하였으며, 중성 pH에서 보다 낮은 반응 pH 5에서 DOC, THMs 제거율이 각각 50%와 28% 향상되었다 조류유래 유기물질과 THMs제거에 있어 UV 산화 공정을 적용한 결과, $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{3+}$ 공정이 가장 효과적이었지만, 반응 pH를 조정한 고도응집공정보다는 효과적이지 않았다.

So many drinking water treatment plants are under various difficulties by new reinforced effluent standards. Since the target turbidity, much higher than annual average, for designing sludge thickener have to be set to confront high turbidity season, the sludge at thickener should be put up for a long time during usual days. So the soluble manganese and chloroform may be formed under the anaerobic environment in the sludge thickener when the sludge retention time is longer with low turbidity. This phenomenon results in difficulties to keep regulatory level of the discharged effluent. For an effort to overcome the problems, a sludge aeration was successfully implemented into the thickening process. As a result, the final effluent quality and sludge volume were much improved; 41 % of manganese, 62 % of chloroform and 35 % of sludge volume. Additionally, effluent quality was improved ; 61 % of Manganese on aeration with pH control and we could make sure of stability effluent quality despite a long sludge retention time. We recommended the standard of installation sludge aeration equipment to nationally supply water treatment plant under effluent water quality problem ; Manganese, Chloroform, etc.

본 연구에서는 정수처리 공정에서 오존을 보다 효율적으로 적용하기 위하여 수중의 오존소비특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 오존의 소비특성을 측정하기 위하여 흐름주입분석법(FIA: Flow injection analysis)의 원리를 이용하여 오존분해속도 측정 자동화장치를 제작하였다. 수중의 오존농도를 연속적으로 측정함으로써 오존의 소비 경향은 순간적으로 오존이 소모되는 구간(I.D: instantaneous ozone demand)과 의사 1차 반응($k_c$: pseudo first-order rate constant)으로 소모되는 두 구간으로 나누어지며, 각 구간에서 오존 주입량에 의하여 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 I.D와 $k_c$값을 이용하여 구한 모델식으로부터 시간에 따른 오존 잔류농도를 예측할 수 있었으며, 예측된 모델간은 실험값과 비교하였을 때 거의 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다. OH 라디칼의 농도 및 $R_{ct}$는 OH 라디칼 probe compound를 이용하여 간접적으로 계산하였다. I.D와 $k_c$ 구간에서 OH 라디칼 생성 경향을 파악할 수 있었으며, OH 라디칼 생성 또한 오존 주입량에 의하여 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 정수처리 공정 및 계절에 따른 수질 차이에 의해서 오존소비인자가 변화하는 것을 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 오존공정의 적절한 도입위치 및 주입량을 효과적으로 결정해야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

The main purpose of applying the chlorination process during water treatment is for disinfection. Research results, however, indicate that disinfection by-products including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, haloacetonitriles, haloketones, and chloropicrin can be produced by chlorination process. Some of these disinfection by-products are known to be potential human carcinogens. This three-year project is designed to establish a standard analysis procedure for disinfection by-products in drinking water and investigate the distribution and sources of specific disinfection by-products. The occurrence level of DBPs in drinking water was below 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/L in most cases. THMs in plant effluent accounted for 48% of all DBPs measured, whereas HAAs accounted for 24%, HANs 14%, haloketones 5%, chloral hydrate 7%, and chloropicrin 2%. Chloroform was found to be the major THMs compound (71%), followed by bromodichloromethane (21%), dibro-mochloromethane (7%), and bromoform (3%), The concentration of DBPs formed in distribution systems increased from those detected in plant effluent. Results would play an important role in exposure assessment as a part of the risk assessment process, and would give basic information for establishment of disinfection by-products reduction and management procedures.

Removal characteristics of volatile organic carbons(VOCs) by ozone oxidation and other processes in the raw water of the 1st Nakdong water treatment plant were investigated. Dichrolomethane, toluene and other 7 compounds were detected in the raw water. With regard to detected 4 compounds in finally treated water, it was found that VOCs could not be removed effectively by traditional water treatment process. Benzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzne were not detected in the raw water but they were detected in the process of treatment. The compound of highest detection frequency was dichloromethane. When the raw water was controlled at pH 7, temperature $20^{\circ}C$, 5 minutes as contact time, 10 minutes as reaction time, the removal rate of THMFP, $KMnO_4$ demand, TOC, $UV_{254nm}$ and $NH_3-N$ were 46.4%, 22%, 19.6%, 31% and 8%, respectively. From estimating the finally treated water qualities in 7 kinds of treatment processes, P-6 process(raw water-chlorination-coagulation-ozonation) was most effective for organics removal and THMs control. Removal efficiencies for $KMnO_4$ demand and TOC by the process which combined preozonation with coagulation was twice better than only preozonation. $NH_3-N$ removal rate was shown as 10% by P-3 process(raw water-coagulation-ozonation), but 83% of $NH_3-N$ was removed by P-4 process(raw water-coagulation-chlorination). It was found that the chlorination is more effective than the ozonation for the NH3-N removal as commonly known.

In an effort to prevent the formation of DBPs from disinfection and the microbial regrowth in distribution systems, the ozonation followed by biological filtration process in drinking water treatment train has been recently developed as an alternative process to reduce effectively water-born organic matter as precursor. There are, however, insufficient for the consistent information and data about the relation between ozone dosage based on organic surrogate parameter, TOC or DOC and effect of ozonation on BDOC formation. This study is to review critically for the effect of ozonation on biodegradability on the basis of published technical papers including the output from author's research laboratory. It truned out that : 1. ozonation in the presence of organic matter has a tendancy to increase in BDOC content, 2. the rate of BDOC formation was maximum below 1mg $O_3/mg$ DOC of ozone dose, but about maximum content of BDOC was obtainable at the range from 1.5mg $O_3/mg$ DOC to 2mg $O_3/mg$ DOC, 3. from above 1mg $O_3/mg$ DOC, the rate of BDOC formation became slow down, 4. from above 2mg $O_3/mg$ DOC, BDOC formation was quantitatively negligible, In conclusion, it needs further systematic study and research concerned to biodegradability and treatability by ozonation in terms of organic characteristics and experimental conditions because it was hard to find out the consistent experimental data comparable each other that were performed by numbers of research authors.

Ultrafiltration membranes have several advantages over conventional drinking-water treatment. However, this technology presents major limitations, such as irreversible fouling and low removal of natural organic matter. Fouling depends heavily on the raw-water quality as well as on the operating conditions of the process, including flux, permeate recovery, pre-treatment, chemical cleaning, and backwashing. Starting with the premise that the optimisation of operating variables can improve membrane performance, different experiments were conducted in a pilot plant located in Granada (Spain). Several combinations of permeate and backwashing flow rates, backwashing frequencies, and aeration flow rates were tested for low-quality water coming from Genil River with the following results: the effluent quality did not depend on the combination of operating conditions chosen; and the membrane was effective for the removal of microorganisms, turbidity and suspended solids but the yields for the removal of dissolved organic carbon were extremely low. In addition, the threshold transmembrane pressure (-0.7 bar) was reached within a few hours and it was difficult to recover due to the low efficiency of the chemical cleanings. Moreover, greater transmembrane pressure due to fouling also increased the energy consumption, and it was not possible to lower it without compromising the permeate recovery. Finally, the intensification of aeration contributed positively to lengthening the operation times but again raised energy consumption. In light of these findings, the feasibility of ultrafiltration as a single treatment is questioned for low-quality influents.
