  • The effects of bromate administration on glutathione were studied in rats. The contents of glutathione in the liver and kidney were significantly decreased but the alteration was not significant in lung and blood by bromate adminstration. The decrease occurred without concomitant increases in oxidized glutathione (GSSG) or in the GSSG/GSH+GSSG ratio. The activities of $\gamma-glutamyl$ cysteine synthetase in the liver and kidney were decreased by bromate administration. $\gamma-Glutamyl$ transpeptidase activities was significantly decreased in the kidney and not significantly decreased in the lung of bromate treated-rats. These results suggest that the decreased synthesis of glutathione by bromate may be an important reason for the decreased level of glutathione in the liver and kidney, thus the decreased glutathione transport would be a factor on the changes of glutathione contents in bromate-treated rats.

  • In oder to investigate the effects of pH and temperature on the formation of bromate ion, which is ozonation by-products of bromine containing natural water. At the same intial pH condition, the increase of pH shown similar trends even if the reaction variables such as temperature and reaction time of ozonation were changed. As pH and temperature were increasing, the bromate concentration was increased but bromine components (HOBr/OBr-) were decreased with increasing pH from 3 to 10. Lipid peroxide content in the kidney was increased by bromate which was ingestion with 0.4g/L for 24 weeks in drinking water. Renal cytosolic enzyme system (XO, AO) of bromate group were significantly increased in comparison with those of normal group. But microsomal enzyme system were not affected. BUN level and urinary ${\gamma}$-glutamyltransferase activity were significantly increased in comparison with those of the normal. But, urinary lactate dehydrogenase activity was not affected. Renal glutathione content of rat was significantly decreased in comparison with those of normal rat given bromate. Renal glutathione S-transferase and ${\gamma}$-glutamylcysteine synthetase activities were significantly decreased in bromate-treated group, but change in renal glutathione reductase activity was not significantly different from any other experimental group.

  • In order to evaluate the optimum operation condition of ozonation to minimize bromate formation, based on the NOM characteristics of raw waters, the pathway of bromate formation by ozonation in domestic raw waters was investigated. Considering the bromate formation reactions, the fractions of bromate formation from bromide by OH radical and molecular ozone were calculated with measured values of ozone decay rate ($k_c$) and Rct. The results showed that molecular ozone is more important role in the formation of bromate in domestic raw waters than OH radical. The ratio of bromide oxidation reaction by molecular ozone ranged 73~88%. Fractions of $HOBr/OBr^-$ reaction with both molecular ozone and OH radical were also determined. OH radical reaction with $HOBr/OBr^-$ was dominant. The differential equations based on the stoichiometry of bromate formation were established to predict the formation rate of bromate by ozonation. The results shows good correlation with experimental results.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of pH and temperature on the formation of bromate, which is ozonation by-products, during ozonation. In this experiment, the operating parameters including pH 3 ~ 10 and temperature 15 ~ $30^{\circ}C$ were studied. Through the study for the bromate formation, reaction rate constant, and ozonation effect index on pH and temperature, the results obtained are as follows. At the same initial pH condition, the increase of pH shown similar trends even if the reaction variables such as temperature and reaction time of ozonation were exchanged. As pH and temperature were increasing, the bromate concentration was increased but bromine(HOBr+OBr) was decreased with increasing pH from 3 to 10. The activation energy(J/mol) for bromate formation decreased with increasing pH. The rate constants of bromate formation for the reaction of ozone and bromide, and ozone dosage coefficient$(K_{0})$ increased with temperature and pH. Ozonation effect index(OI) decreased with increasing temperature and pH.

  • This study was performed to compare international analytical methods of bromate and applied to determine bromate in bottled mineral water in Korea. Bromate in bottled mineral water was eluted by 10~50 mM potassium hydroxide (KOH) and determined by ion chromatograph-suppressed conductivity detector (ICCD). Sample was purified with on guard Ba-, Ag- and H-cartridges and $0.2\;{\mu}m$ membrane filter. The method detection limit (MDL) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of bromate were 0.1 and $0.5\;{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The calibration curve showed good lineality above 0.9998 in the ranges of the $0.5\sim40\;{\mu}g/L$. Bromate from 33 samples among total 157 bottled mineral water samples was detected in the concentration range of $0.5\sim6.5\;{\mu}g/L$. The detected concentrations were within bottled mineral water quality criteria ($10\;{\mu}g/L$) in Korea.

  • 본 연구는 humic acid 및 bromide를 함유한 상수 원수에 오존 처리를 수행함에 있어 수질 특성 및 공정조건에 따른 bromate 및 formaldehyde 의 생성을 고찰하였다 . 회분식 실험장치를 이용하여 오존의 주입농도, DOC 농도, bromide 농도, pH, 알칼리도 및 반응 시간을 변화시키면서 오존처리 시 생성되는 대표적인 부산물인 bromate 및 formaldehyde의 거동을 파악하였다. 본 연구에서 검토된 영향 인자 중 수중의 pH조건은 bromate 및 formaldehyde의 생성에 가장 중요한 인자로 나타났다. DOC(dissolved organic carbon) 농도가 증가할수록 bromate 생성은 감소하였고 formaldehyde 의 생성은 증가하였다. 오존처리를 통해 UV254 는 효율적으로 감소되었고, UV254의 감소율 및 오존 농도는 선형 관계를 나타냈다.

  • Nanosized titania sol has been produced by the controlled hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide(TTIP) in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate(AOT) reverse micelles. The physical properties, such as crystallite size and crystallinity according to R ratio have been investigated by FT-IR, XRD and UV-DRS. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of bromate has been studied by using batch reactor in the presence of UV light in order to compare the photocatalytic activity of prepared nanosized titania. It is shown that the anatase structure appears in the 300~$600^{\circ}C$ calcination temperature range and the formation of anatase into rutile starts above $700^{\circ}C$. The crystallite size increases with increasing R ratio. In the photocatalytic degradation of bromate, the photocatalytic decomposition of bromate shows the decomposition rate increases with decreasing initial concentration of bromate and with increasing intensity of light.

  • Bromate is a disinfection by-product generated mainly from the oxidation of bromide during the ozonation and disinfection process in order to remove pathogenic microorganism of drinking water, and classified as a possible human carcinogen by International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) and World Health Organization (WHO). For the purpose of determining the trace level concentration of bromate, several sensitive techniques are applied mostly based on suppressed conductivity detection and UV/Visible detection after postcolumn reaction (PCR). In this study, the suppressed conductivity detection method and the PCR-UV/Visible detection method through the triiodide reaction were compared to analyze the trace bromate in water samples and estimated for the availability of these analytical methods. In addtion, the state-of-the-art techniques was applied for the determination of trace level bromate in various water matrices, i.e., soft drinking water, hard drinking water, mineral water, swimming pool water, and raw water. In comparison of two analytical methods, it was found that the conductivity detection had the suitable advantage to simultaneously analyze bromate and inorganic anions, however, the bromate might not be precisely quantified due to the matrix effect especially by chloride ion. On the other hand, the trace bromate was analyzed effectively by the method of PCR-UV/Visible detection through triiodide reaction to satisfactorily minimize the matrix interference of chloride ion in various water samples, showing the good linearity and reproducibility. Furthermore, the method detection limit (MDL) and recovery were 0.161 ㎍/L and 101.0-108.1 %, respectively, with a better availability compared to conductivity detection.

  • 실험실 규모의 연구를 확대한 Pilot-Plant연구는 Bromate 감소에 대한 다양한 수질 문제에 대응할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구를 통해 산성하에서 $Fe^{2+}$을 주입시 Bromate가 감소됨을 확인하였다. 그러나 이러한 반응은 느린 반응이었으며, 온도에 의존하는 반응이었다. 단독응집제로서 $Fe^{2+}$은 탁도를 증가시켰다. 따라서 탁도를 제어하기 위해 $Fe^{2+}$를 주입하였다. $Fe^{2+}$/$Fe^{3+}$응집제의 조합으로 TOC를 제거할 수 있었다. 초기 결과를 통해 이러한 공정은 매우 면밀히 추진되어야 하며, 모든 온도에서 적용될 수 없었다. 현재까지 얻어진 결과에 의하면 오존처리함으로서 발생되는 Bromate를 최소화하는 방안은 낮은 pH조건과 $Fe^{2+}$의 주입이다. 최종 처리수에서 입자상물질과 철을 최소화하기 위해서는 pH 등과 같은 조건들을 변화시켜 여과공정 이전에 잔류 $Fe^{2+}$를 산화시킬 수 있도록 초기에 최적화가 이루어 져야 한다.

  • Background: The article presents the results of studies performed in order to develop a new method of airborne potassium bromate(V) determination at workplaces. Methods: The method is based on a collection of the inhalable fraction of potassium bromate(V) using the IOM Sampler, then extraction of bromates with deionized water and chromatographic analysis of the obtained solution. The analysis was performed using ion chromatography with conductometric detection. The tests were performed on a Dionex IonPac®AS22 analytic column (250 × 4 mm, 6 ㎛) with AG22 precolumn (50 × 4 mm 11 ㎛). Results: The method provides for potassium bromate(V) determination within the concentration range of 0.043 ÷ 0.88 mg/m3 for an air sample of 0.72 m3 in volume, i.e., 0.1-2 times the exposure limit value as proposed in Poland. The method was validated in accordance with PN-EN 482. The obtained validation data are as follows: measuring range: 3.1-63.4 ㎍/mL, limit of detection (LOD) = 0.018 ㎍/mL and limit of quantification (LOQ) = 0.053 ㎍/mL. The developed method has been tested in the work environment, on laboratory employees having contact with potassium bromate(V). Conclusion: The analytical method allowed the determination of the inhalable fraction of airborne potassium bromate(V) at workplaces and can be used to assess occupational exposure.
