The overall objective of this research was to find out the interrelation of coagulant and organic matter during rapid mixing process and to identify the change of organic matter by mixing condition and to evaluate the effect of coagulation pH. During the coagulation, substantial changes in dissolved organics must be occurred by coagulation due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM precipitates. Increase in the organic removal efficiency should be mainly caused by the removal of microflocs formed during coagulant injection. That is, during the mixing period, substantial amount of dissolved organics were transformed into microflocs due to the simultaneous formation of microflocs and NOM precipitates. The results also showed that 40 to 80% of dissolved organic matter was converted into particulate material after rapid mixing process of coagulation. During the rapid mixing period, for purewater, formation of dissolved Al(III) (monomer and polymer) constant by rapid mixing condition, but for raw water, the species of Al hydrolysis showed different result. During the rapid mixing period, for high coagulant dose, Al-ferron reaction increases rapidly. At A/D(Adsorption and Destabilization) and sweep condition, both $Al(OH)_3(s)$ and dissolved Al(III) (monomer and polymer) exist, concurrent reactions by both mechanism appear to cause simultaneous precipitation.

Natural organic matters(NOMs) are found everywhere such as soil, surface and ground waters and consist of both humic and nonhumic components, and their heterogeneith makes each source unique. This study was carried to evaluate the removal characteristics of NOMs by mixing coagulants and the variation of apparent molecular weight distribution(AMWD) in coagulation process. Ratio of optimum coagulants dosage for removal of DOC and turbidity by mixing coagulants was 1.83 mM F $e^{3+}$/mM $Al^{3+}$. DOC removal increased at lower pH. The pH6 control focused on the removal of organic matters could reduce the amount of coagulant consumption by 2 to 3 times based on the pH8.5 of natural water. The dissolved organic matters in the natural water from the mid-stream of Han River were composed of the low molecular weight(LMW,<1 K) of 59.7%, and the medium and high molecular weight(M.HMW, 1~30 K) of 40.3%, respectively. At pH6, the DOC removal efficiencies of LMW(<1 K) and M.HMW(1~30 K) in coagulation process were 27~35%, 62~72%, respectively. The fraction smaller than 1 K was not eliminated to a noticeable degree, while the fraction of 1~30 K was relatively well removed. In conclustion, mixing coagulants were fairly effective in the removal of natural organic matter.r.

전처리 공정에 따른 투과 flux 변화를 살펴보면 $MIEX^{(R)}$+UF 공정의 경우 응집+UF 공정에 비하여 높은 유기물 제거율을 나타내었으나 투과 flux 감소는 크게 나타났다. 따라서, 막 오염을 자세하게 규명하기 위하여 sequential filtration 실험결과 막 오염물질은 고분자 유기물질로 나타났으며, DOC 0.5 mg/L 이하의 유기물질이 막 오염 유발물질로 작용하고 있었다. 10 kDa 이하의 저분자 유기물질들은 $MIEX^{(R)}$ 처리에 의해 제거가 용이하여 막 표면에서 유기물 부하를 감소시켜 이로 인해 응집+UF공정에 비하여 투과 flux 감소율이 낮게 나타났다. $MIEX^{(R)}$+UF공정은 입자상 물질의 존재 유무에 관계없이 flux 감소율은 거의 유사한 경향을 보였으나 응집+UF공정은 용존성 유기물질만이 존재하는 시수에 비하여 입자상 물질이 존재하는 경우에 투과 flux 감소가 더 낮게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 고급산화공정에서 촉매제로 사용되는 산화철 나노입자를 세라믹 멤브레인 표면에 부착하여 오존 산화 공정과 연계 처리가 가능한 반응성 세라믹 멤브레인을 합성하고, 이를 이용한 하이브리드 세라믹 멤브레인 시스템(일원화된 오존-멤브레인 시스템)을 통해 자연유기화합물에 의한 막 오염 제어 특성을 평가하였다. 디스크 형태의 알루미나 정밀여과 및 한외여과 세라믹 멤브레인에 소결법을 사용하여 산화철 나노입자를 부착하였으며, 산화철 나노입자 양에 따른 반응성 세라믹 멤브레인의 특성을 분석하였다. 주사전자현미경(SEM) 분석을 통해 세라믹 멤브레인 표면 위에 산화철 나노입자 층이 형성되었음을 확인할 수 있었고, 부착된 산화철 나노입자의 크기는 대략 50 nm임을 확인할 수 있었다. 반응성 세라믹 멤브레인과 기존 세라믹 멤브레인의 막 투과 성능(Pure water permeability) 비교 실험 결과 큰 차이를 보이지 않았는데, 이는 반응성 세라믹 멤브레인 표면에 형성된 산화철 나노입자 층이 멤브레인의 투과 유량에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 하이브리드 세라믹 멤브레인 시스템을 통한 자연유기화합물의 막 오염(Fouling) 및 막 오염 회복(Fouling recovery) 실험을 통해, 반응성 세라믹 멤브레인을 사용한 시스템이 산화철 나노입자와 오존과의 반응을 통해 생성된 수산화라디칼이 보다 효율적으로 자연유기화합물을 분해하여 막 오염을 저감하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 원수와 처리수 내의 자연유기화합물 분석을 통해, 반응성 세라믹 멤브레인 시스템이 보다 효과적으로 자연유기화합물의 방향성 성분 감소, 고분자량 비율 감소, 소수성 성분 감소 등을 통해 막 오염을 제어함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Problems due to the taste and odor in drinking water are common in treatment facilities around the world. Taste and odor are perceived by the public as the primary indicators of the safely and acceptability of drinking water, and are mainly caused by the presence of two semi-volatile compounds-2-methylisoborneol(2-MIB) and geosmin. Conventional treatment processes in water treatment plants, such as coagulation, sedimentation and chlorination have been found to be ineffective for the removal of 2-MIB and geosmin. Pulse UV system is a new UV irradiation system that is a non-mercury lamp-based alternative to currently used continuous wave systems for water disinfection. This study shows pulse UV system to be effective in treatment of these two compounds. Geosmin removal efficiency of UV process alone achieved approximately 70% at 10sec contact time. 2-MIB removal efficiency of UV only process achieved approximately 60% at 10sec contact time. The addition of $H_{2}O_{2}$ 7mg/L increased geosmin and 2-MIB removal efficiency upto approximately 94% and 91%, respectively.

While the existing sewage treatment facilities are mainly being operated by biological processes, winter-time efficiency improvement and additional phosphorus treatment equipment using chemicals have been required to follow the effluent criteria of TP (0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 mg/L for the zone of I, II and III respectively) and $BOD_5$ (5.0 mg/L) which is intensified from 2012 in Republic of Korea. We made an investigation into actual condition of biological treatment process and calculated the optimal chemical input amount by jar test of supernatant of secondary sedimentation tank to evaluate the process improvement for the intensified criteria. Ejector BAF system for removing TP, $BOD_5$ of sewage effluent was suggested. The concentration of TP from biological process is 0.3-0.8 mg/L, and the input amount of optimal chemical coagulant was above Al/P ratio of 3(1.9 mg/L as Al) to meet the criteria of TP for secondary treatment effluent. From the results of this experiment, the best Al/P ratio for Ejector BAF system was about Al/P ratio of 1, and LV of BAF process for intensified criteria of $BOD_5$ and TP was below 1.97m/hr.

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.

In this study, effect of activated carbon size on flux and fouling of membrane was investigated on activated carbon and membrane hybrid system. The activated carbon was prepared with crushing and screening. The activated carbon was named by A100, B100, A200, B200, A325 and B325 due to size of activated carbon. The permeability for A100, B100, A200 and B200 showed no significant difference. However, the permeability for A325 and B325 was decreased rapidly and was lowed due to increase the concentration of NOM. Main resistance for A100, B100, A200 and B200 was identified as irreversible fouling. However main resistance for A325 and B325 was identified as reversible fouling. The smaller activated carbon adsorbs NOM faster than bigger particles, which can show high permeability at early stage of the operation and then showed faster decrease of permeability at end of the operation.

십자형 응집-한외여과 막분리 공정 운전시 응집조건에 따른 영향을 살펴보면 급속교반-UF 공정과 응집-침전-UF 공정에서 투과 flux의 변화는 크게 나타나지 않았으며 UF막의 막오염 억제 측면에서는 응집전처리공정으로서 1분간의 짧은 급속혼화만으로도 충분한 것으로 나타났다. 교반강도에 따른 투과 flux의 변화결과 교반강도에 따라 형성되는 floc의 크기가 거의 유사하게 형성되어 교반강도에 따른 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 응집제 주입량에 따른 투과 flux변화를 살펴보면 응집제 주입량이 증가함에 따라 유기물의 제거가 크게 일어나 유기물 부하의 감소와 floc의 크기가 증가함에 따라 다공성 케이크층의 형성에 따른 막저항의 감소로 인하여 투과 flux가 향상되었다. 막의 재질과 전처리 응집공정적용에 따른 여과메카니즘 분석결과 막의 재질에 따라서는 친수성 재질의 막에 비하여 소수성 재질의 막의 경우 막의 공극속으로 입자의 침투가 발생하여 침적 흡착되는 현상과 막의 표면에서 형성되는 cake층에 의한 투과 flux 감소가 주원인이 되었으며 응집공정을 전처리공정으로 적용시 UF단독공정에 비하여 막오염 발생이 저감되었다.
