본 연구는 입상활성탄을 일시에 100% 충진하는 방법과 일회 충진양을 50%, 33%, 20% 및 10%로 나눠서 주기적으로 누적 충진하였을 경우에 대해 THMs과 DOC 처리효율 변화를 비교 평가하기 위해 수행하였다. 일시에 100% 충진하는 방법은 운전 초기에는 THMs와 DOC의 유출농도가 낮았으나 운전기간이 증가할수록 높은 유출수 농도를 나타내었다. 반면 주기적 누적충진 방법을 적용한 경우에는 유출수의 THMs와 DOC 농도가 운전기간 동안 상대적으로 균등하게 유지하였다. THMs 흡착제거에는 주기적 누적 충진법이 전체 충진용량을 일시에 충진하는 방법에 비해 효과적이었으나, 활성탄 공정 유입수 THMs 구성종들 중에서 클로로디브로모메탄이나 브로모포름의 함량이 클로로포름이나 브로모디클로로메탄에 비해 월등히 높은 경우에는 주기적 누적충진법에 비해 전체 충진용량을 일시에 충진하는 방법이 더욱 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. DOC의 제거에서는 충진용량을 일시에 충진하여 운전하는 방법이 주기적 누적충진법에 비해 DOC의 총 흡착량과 유출수의 평균농도 측면에서는 유리하였다. 활성탄 공정 운전기간 동안 THMs와 DOC 제거율의 균등화에는 주기적 누적충진 방법을 적용한 경우가 효과적이었고, 적은 양의 활성탄을 주기적으로 자주 충진하는 방식이 더욱 유리하였다.

Drinking water treatment is enhanced by coagulant dosages and chlorine injection because of pH increase in raw water in droughty seasons such as spring and fall. But water quality deterioration is occurred by increase in residual aluminium and disinfection by-products. Coagulation process can be used to control natural organic matter (NOM) during water treatment. The effect of coagulation process appeared to depend on the pH of water rather than coagulant dosages. In this study, for water treatment in high pH season $H_2SO_4$ was applied for pH adjustment at full scale. Before and after pH adjustment by $H_2SO_4$ injection, water quality of drinking water was evaluate. In the result of investigation of total organic carbon (TOC) removal in high pH season, TOC was removed approximately 30~40%, which showed decrease in water treatment efficiency. Also, it is increased both particle numbers and residual Al concentration in the water. After $H_2SO_4$ injection for adjustment to pH<7.5 in settled water, treated water turbidity decreased in 0.047 NTU from 0.059 NTU, and particle numbers of filtered water decreased in 20/mL from 90/mL. On the other side, TOC removal efficiency increased in approximately 10% after adjustment of pH. In the result of decrease in pH in raw water through more coagulants and prechlorine without $H_2SO_4$ injection, trihalomethanes (THMs) concentration increased in $16{\mu}g/L$ from $8{\mu}g/L$.

The formation characteristics of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) were investigated in chlorination of raw water of different organic mallet characteristics. The samples used in this study were hydrophobic (N-HPO) and hydrophilic fraction (N-HPI) (which were concentrated and separated from Nakdong river water), and humic acid (HA) (which is known as a strong hydrophobic acid) as a reference organic matter, the specific UV absorbance (SUVA) of which was 2.19, 1.15 and 7.92, respectively. With increasing chlorine contact time, THMFP and HAAFP (the formation potential of THMs and HAAs) increased, but their increase was different depending on the organic mallet characteristics (i.e., for N-HPI, THMFP was higher than HAAFP, but the inverse result was obtained for N-HPO and HA and the ratio between them was greater for HA), and the mainly formed chemical species were CHCI$_3$ in case of THMs and dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) in case of HAAs for N-HPO and HA (and the ratios of CHCI$_3$ to total THMs and DCAA and TCAA to total HAAs for HA were higher than those for N-HPO), but for N-HPI, the ratio of brominated THMs was a little higher than that of CHCI$_3$ and the ratio of DCAA and TCAA to total HAAs was lower than that of N-HPO, although they are main chemical species in case of HAAs. Comparing THMFP and HAAFP with the increase in bromide concentration added with those in not adding it, the former increased greatly and its increase was higher for the organic mallet with stronger hydrophobicity, but the latter was lower for N-HPO and N-HPI and was similar for HA. The main chemical species with increasing bromide concentration were CHBt$_3$ in case of THMs regardless of organic matter characteristics, and dibromoacetic acid (DBAA) for N-HPO and N-HPI, DBAA and tribromoacetic acid (TBAA) for HA in case of HAAs. With increasing reaction temperature and pH, THMFP and HAAFP increased for the former, but for the latter, THMFP increased and HAAFP decreased, although the rate of increase or decrease was different with organic mallet characteristics.

Membrane distillation process was used for purification of pre-treated natural water (tap water). The rejection of inorganic and organic compounds in this process was investigated. The obtained rejection of inorganic solutes was closed to 100%, but the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) diffused through the membrane together with water vapour. The content of trihalomethanes (THMs) in the obtained distillate was two-three fold higher than that in the feed, therefore, the rejection of the total organic compounds present in the tap water was reduced to a level of 98%. The intensive membranes scaling was observed during the water separation. The morphology and composition of the fouling layer was studied using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersion spectrometry. The influence of thermal water pre-treatment performed in a heat exchanger followed by filtration on the MD process effectiveness was evaluated. This procedure caused that significantly smaller amounts of $CaCO_3$ crystallites were deposited on the membrane surface, and a high permeate flux was maintained over a period of 160 h.

The disinfection of public water supplies has been used to prevent the transmission of waterborne diseases throughout the worlds. Although chlorine has been used as the primary disinfactant, its safety was first questioned in 1974 when chlorination of drinking water was found to result in the formation of trihalomethanes(THMs). Chlorine dioxide was selected as one alternative disinfactant. But the application of chlorine dioxide in water treatment has been limited because of concerns about the health effects of DBPs. In these experiments, chlorine dioxide showed the effective inactivation on both total coliforms and HPC at 3.0 mg $ClO_2/L$. The bactericidal effects of chlorine dioxide showed a tendency to increase as pH decreased, but the differences were not so sizable.

THMs의 전구물질로 잘 알려진 humic acid를 대상으로 오존처리, 응집처리 및 활성탄 흡착처리와 같은 물리화학적 처리공정 도입에 따른 humic acid의 제거특성을 조사하고, 염소주입시 생성 가능한 부산물을 정성적으로 규명하기 위하여 본 연구를 실시하였다. Humic acid에 오존을 주입한 결과 pH가 급격히 감소하였는데, 이는 분자량이 큰 humic acid가 오존에 의하여 $H_2O$ 및 $CO_2$로 완전히 산화되지 못하고 중간생성물인 저급 지방산으로 분해된 결과로 판단되었다. 그리고 용존성 humic acid의 응집특성을 조사하기 위하여 PAC 160 mg/L로 응집을 실시한 결과 TOC는 약 25%, $COD_{Cr}$는 24%가 제거되었으나, 색도는 단지 5%만이 제거되어, humic acid에 의해 유발되는 색도는 응집으로 제거하기 어려운 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 오존처리에서는 95% 이상의 색도가 제거되었으며, 이때 색도는 오존 접촉시간에 대해 1차반응으로 제거되었고, 반응속도상수값 k는 $0.067min^{-1}$로 조사되었다. 활성탄 흡착 실험에서는 오존 전처리를 실시함으로써 활성탄 흡착 효율이 크게 증가함을 확인할 수 있었으며, humic acid에 염소를 주입한 결과 THMs만 검출되었을 뿐 다른 휘발성 미량 유기화합물은 검출되지 않았고, 오존처리를 실시한 오존처리수에서도 알데히드류 및 케톤류와 같은 부산물은 검출되지 않았다.

The effect of chlorination on disinfection byproducts (DBPs) production from bloom-forming freshwater algae including 7 strains of cyanobacteria and 6 strains of diatoms was investigated. The release and degradation of hepatotoxin (microcystins) by the chlorination on Microcystis under differential condition of the chlorination time and dose were also investigated. The disinfection byproducts formation potentials (DBPFP) of cyanobacterial species and diatoms were ranged from 0.017 to $0.070{\mu}mol\;DBPs/mg$ C and from 0.129 to $0.708{\mu}mol\;DBPs/mg$ C respectively. Among three major groups of DBPs, haloacetonitrils (HANs) was major product in most test strains except Aphanizomenon sp. and Oscillatoria sp. Haloacetic acids (HAAs) was less than 5 % of total DBPs. Chloroform and dichloroacetonitril (DCAN) were dominant compounds in trihalomethanes (THMs) and HANs respectively. After 4 hours chlorination of toxic Microcystis aeruginosa under the dose range of 0.5 to $10mg\;Cl_2/L$, the concentration of intracellular microcystins decreased, but dissolved dissolved microcystins concentration increased with the treatment of more than $3mg\;Cl_2/L$. However the total amount of microcystins was almost constant even at $10mg\;Cl_2/L$ of chlorination. To conclude, our results indicate that the chlorination causes algal cell lysis and release of intracellular microcystins in the intact form to surrounding waters.

이염화이소시아뉼산나트륨(NaDCC) 주입 선박평형수처리설비(BWMS, ballast water treatment system)에 의해 처리된 배출수 내에는 브롬 및 염소계열의 활성물질과 소독부산물질(DBPs, disinfection by-products)들이 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 NaDCC로 처리된 선박평형수가 해양환경에 미치는 생태위해성을 파악하기 위하여 생태독성시험(WET test, whole effluent toxicity test)과 생태위해성평가(ERA, ecological risk assessment)를 수행하였다. 배출수독성 시험종은 규조류(Skeletonema costatum, Navicula pelliculosa), 녹조류(Dunaliella tertiolecta, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), 로티퍼(Brachionus plicatilis, Brachionus calyciflorus) 및 어류(Cyprinodon variegatus, Pimephales promelas)로 8개의 해양 및 담수종을 이용하였다. 생태독성시험결과, 규조류 및 녹조류를 이용한 성장저해시험에서만 명확한 독성영향이 나타났으며 해수의 시험 조건에서 무영향농도(NOEC, no observed effect concentration), 최저영향농도(LOEC, lowest observable effect concentration) 및 반수영향농도(EC50, effect concentration of 50 %)는 각각 25.0 %, 50.0 % 및 > 100.0 %로 가장 민감한 영향을 나타냈다. 하지만 로티퍼 및 어류를 이용한 독성시험의 경우 모든 염분 구간에서 독성영향이 나타나지 않았다. 한편, 배출수에 대한 화학물질분석결과, bromate, isocyanuric acid, formaldehyde, chloropicrin과 trihalomethanes (THMs), halogenated acetonitriles (HANs), halogenated acetic acid (HAAs) 등 총 25개의 소독부산물질들이 검출되었다. ERA결과, 25개의 소독부산물질들 중, 지속성(P), 생물축척성(B) 및 생물독성(T)의 특성을 모두 보이는 물질은 없었다. 예측환경농도(PEC, predicted environmental concentration) / 예측무영향농도(PNEC, predicted no effect concentration) 비율은 일반적인 항구 환경에서는 모든 물질이 1.0을 초과하지 않았지만 선박 최 인접지역의 경우 Isocyanuric acid, Tribromomethane, Chloropicrin 및 Monochloroacetic acid가 1.0을 초과하여 위해성이 있을 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 실제 배출수를 이용한 생태독성시험결과의 NOEC (25.0 %)를 적용한 결과 NaDCC로 처리된 선박평형수가 해양에 배출되었을 때 선박 최 인접지역을 포함한 일반적인 항구 환경에 수용 불가한 생태위해성을 가지지 않는 것으로 판단된다.
