Polyamine was synthesized for the drinking water treatment. Polyamine was produced by the two step polycondensation of dimethytamine(DMA) and epichlorohydrin(EPI) and its properties were characterized. The effects of mole ratio of (DMA1/1EPl), reaction temperature and reaction time on synthesis of polyamine were investigated. Polyamine flocculant was applied to Nak-dong river raw water to examine its efficiency in reducing turbidity. The synthesized polyamine was effective as flocculant for drinking water treatment. The addition of 1 mg/L of polyamlne flocculant caused the reduction of 50% PAC (polyaluminium chloride).

The floc strength of Escherichia coli was enhanced by adding water soluble polymer flocculants (BPA-5020 and BPA-5000) to the particulate flocculant (BPA-1000) as indicated by the increase in the shear index. The shear index of the E. coli flocs increased from 0.39 with the particulate flocculant alone to 0.94 with the particulate flocculant in conjunction with the water soluble polymer flocculant. In addition, the sedimentation rate of flocs was higher and the sedimented volume of flocs was smaller when the particulate flocculant was used with the water soluble polymer flocculant. When E. coli was flocculated first with the water soluble flocculant and the particulate flocculant was added later into the E. coli flocs formed, the sedimentation rate of the flocs was greater than that of any other combination. The shear index of the flocs was, however, independent of the sequence of the flocculant addition.

Commonly, the flocculant is dissolved in process or recycle water in industrial plant which has many ionic materials. Therefore, the polymer degradation in aqueous solution by chemical, mechanical or bacteriological may occur, sometimes rapidly. Even if the same flocculant is dissolved, the flocculation characteristics and the properties of dissolving polymer varied with the kind of dissolving water. In this study, we try to estimate the interaction between flocculants and ionic materials in dissolving water using self inversing emulsion polymer; polyacrylamide-co-trimethyl ammonium ethyl acrylate chloride flocculants which have varying molecular weights and structures at a several conditions. The polymeric flocculant is dissolved in artificial dissolving water with Potassium Chloride (PC), Calcium Chloride anhydrous (CC), Potassium Hydroxide (PH), Sodium Chloride (SC), Sodium Bromate (SB) and Iron (II) Sulfate Heptahydrate (IS) as ionic sources. Experimental results indicate that the cationic and anionic ions in dissolving water induce the hydrolysis, degradation of cationic functional group and uncoiling of polymeric flocculants, therefore, the flocculation efficiency decreased by undesired polymer. According that result, it is important to estimate not only its structures and physical properties but also the qualities of dissolving water to optimize the efficiency.

Because of varied functions and characteristics, water soluble polymers have lone attracted much intrest in both academic and industrial fields, especially now in pollution problems such as wastewater treatment through ployrneric flocculants. In this regard, the main objective of this study is to synthesize polymeric floccuants containning hydrophobic group in presence of the potassium persulfate/sodium thiosulfate redox system and to estimate their flocculating ability on the kaolin suspension. In order to test the flocculating power of flocculant prepared on the kaolin suspension system, turbidity of the supernatant liquid, residence time, filtration rate of flocculated samples, have additionally been measured from the flocculation experiments and analysed In comparision with the theoretical background.

수질 환경의 악화에 따라 상수처리에 있어서 기존에 사용되어온 황산알루미늄 (Alum ; $Al_2(SO_4)_3$) 및 polyaluminum chloride (PAC) 등 무기계응집제만으로는 적절한 응집 효과를 얻기에 어려운 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 epichlorohydrin과 dimethylamine을 사용하여 poly(amine)계 고분자 응집제를 합성하는 조건에 대해 조사를 하였다. Polyamine의 합성에 있어서 위의 두 단량체 이외에 반응성기가 4인 1,6-hexandiamine을 분자량 중가제로 사용한 경우 dimethylamine 대비 5.5 mol % 이내의 범위에서 [${\eta}$]=0.46에 상당하는 branched polyamine 시료 (PA-c)를 얻을 수 있었으며 도입량이 5.5 mol % 이상인 경우에는 gel이 발생함을 확인하였다. 합성된 polyamine계 고분자 응집제의 응집 효율을 평가하기 위해서 낙동강 수계 매곡정수장의 pilot 장치에 적용하여 응집실험을 수행하였다. 응집 실험 결과 탁도 5~20 [NTU] 정도의 원수를 탁도 2.0 [NTU] 미만으로, 그리고 유기물 함량 (TOC) 제거 효율을 20~40%으로 하기 위하여 polyamine 고분자 응집제 1 mg/L를 병용함으로써 무기 응집제 PAC의 소모량을 15 mg/L, 즉 1/2 수준으로 감소 시킬 수 있었다. 무기 응집제 PAC를 단독으로 사용할 경우 원수의 pH가 9.0 이상이 될 경우 탁도 제거 효율이 현저하게 감소하였으나 poly(amine) 고분자 응집제를 1 mg/L의 농도로 병용함으로서 보다 더 넓은 PH 범위에 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

국내에서 상수원중의 부유물질 및 용존 유기물질의 제거를 위하여 사용하는 알루미늄계 무기응집제들은 응집처리 과정에서 노인성 치매의 한 원인으로 알려져 있는 알루미늄 이온을 상수원수에 잔류시킬 수 있으며, 상수의 탁도가 일시적으로 매우 높아질 때 효과적인 응집에 한계가 있다. 따라서 이들을 대신한 epichlorohydrine-dimethylamine(EPI-DMA) poly(amine)계 고분자 응집제가 선진국을 중심으로 사용이 되어 왔으며, 우리나라에서도 이것을 도입하기 위한 준비가 필요한 상태에 있다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 EPI-DMA poly(amine)계 고분자 응집제의 국산화를 위해 EPI와 DMA의 조성비를 달리하거나 또는 반응시간, 반응온도 등의 합성조건을 변화시키면서 이들의 합성조건에 대한 최적화 연구를 수행하여 대량생산을 위한 최적합성 조건을 구하였다. 그리고 이 과정에서 조건을 달리하여 얻은 각각의 고분자 응집제들에 대한 점도를 측정하여 합성 방법에 따른 고분자 응집제의 효율을 조사하였으며, EPI, DCP, DCIPA, 그리고 CPDO 등 유해 잔류물의 양을 Gas Chromatography(GC)에 의해 정량하였다.

The dewatering characteristics of the sewage sludge was investigated through the experimental observations and model simulations. The activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge were examined for the dewaterability evaluation within the pressure range of $0{\sim}10^6N/m^2$. Modified Buchner funnel test and compression test by the consolidometer were conducted to evaluate average specific resistance, porosity, and moisture percentage of filter cake. Shirato's technique of compression-permeability test was followed for the pressure range lower than about $10^2N/m^2$. The flocculation effects on sludge dewatering was also examined for ferric chloride and polymeric flocculant. The application of hydrated lime which can be used for flue-gas desulfurization showed improved moisture percentage, and was thought to have positive feasibility in combined system of sludge dewatering and incineration. Determined characteristic constants were applied to Tiller's cake filtration model to simulate liquid pressure distribution and porosity distribution in cake. Model simulations showed a sharp drop of the porosity close to the cake-medium interface for the highly compressible material such as the activated sludge and the anaerobically digested sludge.

Textile dyes are some of the pollutants which have received the most attention because of the large volume of wastewater generated by the textile industry. Removal by means of adsorption is one of the most versatile alternatives to treat these effluents. Even though different adsorbents such as activated carbons and mineral materials have been proposed, polymeric adsorbents are a viable alternative. This work reports for the first time the use of polyelectrolyte PTZ and macroelectrolyte MTZ containing tetrazole groups as adsorbents useful in the textile dyes removal present in aqueous solutions and wastewater. Because of the anionic character of the tetrazole group, MTZ exhibits selective adsorption capabilities for cationic dyes of up to $156.25mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$. The kinetic study of the process of adsorption shows that PTZ and MTZ fit a pseudo second-order model. MTZ also shows utility as a flocculant agent in the treatment of wastewater containing dyes Indigo Blue and Reactive Black. The results showed that PTZ and MTZ may be used in the treatment of wastewater in a process of coagulation-flocculation followed by the treatment by adsorption. This two-stage treatment removed up to 95% of the dye present in the wastewater. As well as removing the dyes, the values for COD, suspended solids, pH, and color of the wastewater decreased, thus significantly improving its quality.
