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.

인구의 증가와 산업의 발전으로 물에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있는 상황에서 안전하고 지속가능한 수자원을 확보하기 위한 방법으로 분리막을 이용한 수처리가 널리 사용되고 있다. 수처리장에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 분리막 중 하나인 폴리아마이드 분리막은 분리막 공정 전 단계에서 수행되는 염소살균 처리 후에 잔류하는 염소에 의해 화학적/구조적으로 영향을 받고 성능이 변화하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 pH에 따라 수중에 용해되는 염소의 종변화 및 염소에 노출시 폴리아마이드 분리막의 표면 성질 변화와 성능변화의 원리를 다루었다.

Chlorine disinfection has been used in drinking water supply to disinfect the water-borne microbial disease which may cause to serious human disease. As Chlorination is still the least costly, relatively easy to use, chlorination is the primary means to disinfect portable water supplies and control bacterial growth in the distribution system. However, chlorine also reacts with natural organic matter (NOM), which presents in nearly all water sources, and then produces disinfection by-product (DBps), which may have adverse health effects. Although the existent DBPs have been reported in drinking water supplies, it is not feasible to predict the levels of the various DBPs due to the complex chemistry reaction involved. The objectives of this study were to investigate seasonal variation of DBPs formation and difference of DBPs concentration in the plant to tap water. The average concentration of THMs was 20.04 ${\mu}g/{\ell}$, HAAs 8-15 ${\mu}g/{\ell}$, HANs 2-4.5 ${\mu}g/{\ell}$ respectively. Distant variation of DBPs formation is that THMs concentration increase by 17% at 2 km point from the plant and by 28% at 7 km and HAAs, HANs also increase each by 16%, 32%, at 2 km from the plant and 35%, 56%, at 7 km. DBPs increase in water supply pipe continually. The seasonal occurrence of DBPs is that in May and August DBPs concentration is very high then in March, in May DBPs concentration is highest. The temperature is main factor of DBPs formation, precursor also. Precursor which was accumulated for winter flowed into the raw water by flooding in spring and summer and produced DBPs. Therefore for the supply of secure drinking water, it is required to protect precursor of flowing into raw water and to add to BCAA and DBAA to drinking water standards.

This study was carried out to examine effect of post-chlorine dosage reduction by ozonation and GAC process in the field plant for 3years in the "G" water purification plant in Seoul. And it is to compare GAC with BAC process in removal effects of TOC, THMs, THMFP, $UV_{254}$. As a result, chlorine dosage of ozonation and GAC(=BAC) is less demand than GAC. Seasonal reduction of chlorine demand is from about 37% to 59% with BAC, and from 24 to 46% with GAC. Higher reduction in BAC could be achieved. The efficiency of chlorine demand reduction with ozonation was depending on the organic carbon removal. $UV_{254}$ concentration is less about 0.13~0.74L/mg.m in BAC than GAC. Therefore, the combination of ozonation and GAC was more effective in reducing post-chlorine than the single GAC. TOC was also monitored, and results show that a linear relationship between TOC and chlorine demand is appropriate under each treatment process. It means that removal of organic matter(TOC) from finished water is necessary to reduce post-chlorine dosage in clear well and to minimize order of chlorine in distribution systems.

Giardia lamblia is a parasitic protozoa which is transmitted in the form of a cyst through untreated water and also treated drinking water. Since its presence in water has led to frequent outbreaks of giardiasis and death in many countries, the removal and disinfection of this protozoan cyst from the water supply are of great concern for public health. This study examined the disinfection characteristics of G. lamblia cysts isolated from a Korean patient with giardiasis. When using sodium hypochlorite including 5 or 10 ppm chlorine, the killing rate was initially rapid, however, the disinfection slowed down and a 3log reduction could not be achieved even after 2h. The disinfection effectiveness was also reduced at a lower temperature, thereby implying that the risk o a giardiasis outbreak will be higher in the winter season. A CT (concentration$.$time) curve was constructed based on the results with sodium hypochlorite for use in designing and predicting disinfection performance. The organic chlorination disinfectant SDIS (sodium dichloroisocyanurate) produced a lower pH and a much higher residual effect than sodium hypochlorite. The disinfection of cysts by SDIC continued steadily throughout 2h of contact, although the initial killing rate was lower than that with sodium hypochlorite.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of disinfection by-products (DBPs-trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) and haloacetonitriles (HANs) formation in chlorination of principal raw waters used for drinking water on Jeju Island, Korea. The domestic water supply of other area and humic acid solution (HA) were used as a reference point. The effects of chlorine contact time, solution temperature and pH on DBPs formation potential (DBPFP) were investigated for raw waters. In addition, the effect of $Br^-$ was studied for HA. The DBPFP (THMFP, HAAFP and HANFP) were increased with increasing chlorine contact time. Comparing the individual DBPFPs for raw waters, they decreased in the order of HAAFP > THMFP ${\geq}$ HANFP. As the solution temperature was increased, the THMFP, HAAFP and HANFP increased. With increasing the solution pH, the THMFP was increased, but HAAFP and HANFP were decreased. With the addition of 0.3 mg/L $Br^-$ for HA, the DBPFP was increased and the major chemical species changed: from trichloromethane to dibromochloromethane and tribromomethane for THMs; from dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid to tribromoacetic acid for HAAs; and from dichloroacetonitrile to dibromoacetonitrile for HANs.

일반적으로 정수처리 공정에서 염소에 의한 소독공정은 수인성 질병을 억제하고 상수도관망에서 미생물의 재성장을 억제하는 목적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 염소소독은 수중의 유기물과 반응하여 소독부산물(Disinfection By-products; DBPs) 과 같은 발암성 물질을 생성함으로 적절한 염소 주입이 필요하고 최근에는 관말지역에서의 잔류염소 확보를 위해 상수관로 나 배수지 등에서 재염소를 실시하는 경향이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정수장에서 최적의 염소주입과 재염소 주입량을 산정하기 위하여 미국 EPA에서 개발한 EPANET 2.0을 사용하여 최적 염소 주입량을 산정하고 그 효과를 모의하였다. 대상지역 상수관로에 대한 수질을 모의하기 위하여 bottle test를 통해 수체감소계수($k_{bulk}$)를 도출하였으며, syster-matic analysis method를 이용하여 관벽감소계수($k_{wall}$)를 도출하였다. 배ㆍ급수계통에서의 수질을 정확히 예측하고자 유량과 체류시간 등을 고려한 수리해석 모델을 기초로 하여 상수도관망에서의 잔류염소 농도를 예측하고 염소주입 농도에 따른 소독부산물(DBPs)인 트리할로메탄(Trihalomethanes; THMs)의 생성변화를 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 수체감소계수($k_{bulk}$)를 도출한 결과 온도가 높을수록 초기에 빠른 감소를 보였으며, $25^{\circ}C$의 경우 25시간이 지난 이후에는 절반이상이 감소하였다. 대상지역에 재염소 주입시설을 도입할 경우 최적 재염소 주입량을 산정하였으며, 관망도상에서 경제적으로 유리한 지점을 선정할 수 있었다.

This research was to determine and compare the inactivation of total coliform as the indicator organism with chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone for drinking water treatment. The inactivation of total coliform was experimentally analyzed for the dose of disinfectant, contact time, pH, Temperature and DOC. The experiments for the characterization of inactivation were performed in a series of batch processes with the total coliform as a general indicator organism based on chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone as disinfectants. The nearly 2.4, 3.0, 3.9 log inactivation of total coliform killed by injecting 1mg/L at 5 minutes for chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone. For the inactivation of 99.9%, Disinfectants required were 1.70, 1.00 and 0.60 mg/L for chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone, respectively. The bactericidal effects of disinfectants were decreased as the pH increased in the range of pH 6-9. The influence of pH change on the killing effect of chlorine dioxide was not strong, but that on ozone and free chlorine was sensitive. The bactericidal effects of the disinfectants were increased as the temperature increase. The activation energies were 36,053, 29,822, 24,906 J/mol of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone for coliforms. The inactivation effects were shown in the lowest order of chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone.
