The current study evaluated the disinfection efficiency of free chlorine and chloramine for microorganisms on various pipe materials, such as copper, galvanized steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel. In addition, the effect of internal pipe corrosion and corrosion inhibitors on the bactericidal efficiency was evaluated using a simulated loop. For disinfection with a phosphate corrosion inhibitor, chloramination was found to be more effective than chlorination due to its persistence. Free chlorine disinfection was optimized with a high phosphoric acid concentration, while chloramine disinfection was optimized with a high phosphoric acid or low polyphosphate concentration. In simulated copper and galvanized steel loop tests, chloramination with phosphoric acid was demonstrated to be more effective.

N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a class of disinfection byproducts and a frequently detected nitrosamine with carcinogenic potentials. This review summarizes NDMA precursors, their formation mechanisms in chloraminated water, and mitigation strategies. Understanding the formation mechanism and characteristics of precursors is essential for developing a mitigation strategy. Dimethylamine (DMA), the most widely studied NDMA precursor, has an NDMA molar yield up to 3%. In comparison, a subset of tertiary amines, e.g., pharmaceuticals, generate up to 90% upon chloramination. Potent NDMA precursors, are characterized by their negative partial charge, low planarity values and molecular weight, and high bond length and $pK_a$ values. A nucleophilic substitution of tertiary amine on chloramine is a key reason for the high NDMA yield from the most potent NDMA precursors. The distribution and fate of NDMA in surface water, aquifers, and its formation in the distribution system can be mitigated through two strategies: (1) degrading or/removing NDMA after its formation and (2) pre-treatment of its precursor's prior chloramination.

This study was carried to investigate the characteristics of chloramination as a disinfection in drinking water distribution system. The raw water comes from midstream of Han river. In the range of pH 6~8, preformed chloramine of $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio 5:1 had the HPC inactivation of more than 99% with lower pH and shorter contact time and available chloramine residual was decreased a little. In the chloramines of $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio 3:1~5:1, the higher $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio, the much inactivation of HPC was increased, but as contact time was longer, HPC inactivation of $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio 3:1~5:1 were equaled. Bactericidal activity of three chlorine and postammoniation was influenced by free available chlorine completely and that of preammoniation was as follows : free chlorine ${\fallingdotseq}$ postammoniation>preammoniation>preformed chloramine.

This study was performed to investigate THMs formation by chloramination as a secondary disinfection in drinking water distribution system. As the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio increased from 1:1 to 4:1, the THMs concentration had actually no change in the breakpoint curve of pH 6, 7. At pH 8, THMs level was not augmented at between 1:1 and 5:1. In the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio of more than 5:1 and 6:1 respectively, THMs level was raised. Only the chloroform of THMs was insignificantly detected by both preformed chloramine and preammoniation applications, which was probably attributed to the stoichiometrically unstable equilibrium in the preparation of chloramine, whereas $CHCl_3$, $CHCl_2Br$ and $CHClBr_2$ of THMs were found in the application of free chlorine. However it turned out that the THMs levels by chloramine was incomparably inferior to that of free chlorine.

This study was performed to evaluate the inactivation and microbial regrowth of heterotrophic and nitrifying bacteria using chloramine as a secondary disinfectant for drinding water distribution system. Three sets of the three reactors filled with the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio of 3:1, 4:1, and 5:1 were used in these experiments. Chloramine concentration were applied to each set of the reactors with $1mg/\ell$,\;2mg/\ell\;and\;3mg/\ell$, respectively. For the set with elapsed time and reached to zero level after 7 days. Heterotrophic bacteria remarkably increased and nitrification through the experimenatal period (21 day). Furthermore the regrowth of heterotrophic bacteria and nitrification were not found. More than $2mg/\ell$ of chloramine with $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio of 3:1, the nitrification could be inhibited by 2 days of contact time.

본 연구의 시료는 현재 서울특별시와 수도권 도시들에서 상수원수로 이용하고 있는 한강수를 대상으로 수행되었다. 배ㆍ급수계통의 2차 소독을 위한 클로라민소독의 특성에 관하여 고찰하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) $25^{\circ}C$, Cl$_2$ / NH$_3$-N비 1:1 ~ 14:1에서 PH6, 7, 8의 불연속점은 각각 Cl$_2$ / NH$_3$-N비 11:1, 9:1, 10:1이었다. pH6의 경우, Cl$_2$ / NH$_3$-N비가 9:1일 때 총 잔류염소량이 최대인 반면, pH 7, 8의 경우 Cl$_2$ / NH$_3$-N비가 각각 6:1, 5:1 일 때 최대가 되었다. 2) pH가 6, 7, 8로 증가함에 따라 모노클로라민이 최대로 생성되는 Cl$_2$ / NH$_3$-N비는 7:1에서 5:1로 이동하였으며, pH6 ~ 8 범위에서 pH가 증가함에 따라 모노클로라민의 생성량이 많았다. 3) 클로라민의 분해는 Cl$_2$ / NH$_3$-N비가 증가하고 pH가 낮을수록 증가하였다. 클로라민의 잔류성은 유리염소보다 월등히 좋았다. pH6에서 모노클로라민과 디클로라민이 생성된 이후, 접촉시간이 경과함에 따라 디클로라민의 분포비가 증가하였다.

The determinations of ammonia in water for drinking purpose served as one basis of judging the sanitary quality of water for a great many years. However, presently ammonia regulation varies depending on countries. In USA and Canada, ammonia is added to water for chloramination process. However, for korea, there is ammonia regulation of treated water in Korea which should not exceed 0.5mg/l as $NH_3-N$. There was a report exceeding 0.5mg/l of ammonia in chlorinated water when the famous drinking water contamination episode happened in the downstream of Nadong River, 1994. With lack of sewer distribution system and treatment plants of domestic wastes, many water treatment plants have a difficulty of complying with ammonia regulation in treated water. Breakpoint chlorination is usually performed to get rid of ammonia. The method which is allowed to measure ammonia in Korea is Phenate method. However, it would be undesirable to use Phenate method for measuring ammonia in chlorinated water if Phenate method would not differentiate ammonia from chloramine. A good possibility of interferences in measurement of ammonia exists because Phenate method include the step of the formation of chlorine and would not differentiate chloramine which is formed as a result of reaction between chlorine and ammonia. This study was on inaccuracy of Phenate method for measuring ammonia of chlorinated water when chloramine and ammonia coexist. This study found that Phenate method measured all chlormaine as ammonia. Ammonia measurement by ion chromatography confirmed this results. Finally, the result from this study suggests that ammonia measurement by Phenate method in chlorinated water should be revised accordingly.

본 연구에서는 염소처리시 요오드계 트리할로메탄(iodo-trihalomethanes, I-THMs)의 생성에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 조사하였다. 염소를 소독제로 사용하여 염소 투입농도, 수온, pH, 브롬이온과 요오드이온 농도, 염소 접촉시간, 암모니아성 질소농도 및 용존 유기물질의 특성 변화에 따른 I-THMs 6종에 대한 생성특성을 조사하였다. 수중의 요오드이온과 브롬이온의 농도가 증가할수록 I-THMs의 생성농도가 증가하였으며, 염소 투입농도 및 수온에 따른 I-THMs 생성에서는 염소 투입농도 및 수온 상승에 비례하여 I-THMs 생성농도도 증가하다가 염소 투입농도 3 mg/L 및 수온 $30^{\circ}C$ 이상의 조건에서는 오히려 I-THMs 생성농도가 감소하였다. 또한, 시료수의 pH가 상승할수록 I-THMs의 생성농도가 증가하였다. 수중의 $NH{_4}{^+}-N$ 농도가 증가할수록 염소와 반응하여 생성된 클로라민에 의해 I-THMs 생성농도가 증가하였다. 하수처리장 방류수, 휴믹산 조제수, 조류유래 유기물질 함유수 및 4개의 낙동강 시료수(고령, 매리, 하구 및 진천천)와 같은 7개의 시료수의 유기물질과 I-THMs와의 반응성을 조사한 결과, 하수처리장 최종방류수가 I-THMs와의 반응성($12.31{\mu}g/mg$)이 가장 높았고, 다음으로 휴믹산 시료수($4.96{\mu}g/mg$)로 나타났고, 조류유래 유기물질이 가장 낮은 결과($0.99{\mu}g/mg$)를 나타내었다. 또한, $SUVA_{254}$값과 I-THMs 반응성과의 상관성을 평가한 결과에서 상관계수($r^2$)가 0.002로 매우 낮게 나타나 $SUVA_{254}$값과 I-THMs 생성과는 연관성을 찾기가 어려웠다.
