A Study on the Ozonation Characteristics of the Phenol Contaminated Wastewater by Increasing Phenol Concentration in the Continuous PCR and BCR

연속식 PCR과 BCR에서 페놀 농도 증가에 따른 오존 처리 특성에 관한 연구

The objectives of this research prograln were to study the ozonation characteristics of phenol contaminated wastewater in the continuous packed column reactor (PCR) and the bubble column reactor (BCR) using ozone that has a strong oxidizing potential, and to provide the fundamentals of ozonizing the phenol contaminated wastewater. Among various influencing factors on phenol decomposition through the oxidation by ozone, phenol/ozone mde ratio was chosen as reaction parameters. Concerning the phenol/ozone mde ratio, as the influent phenol concentration increased from 30 mg/l to 150 mg/l, the phenol removal efficiency decreased from 99% for 30 mg/l to 83.7% for 150 mg/l, in PCR. PCR also showed higher treatment efficiency than BCR by 1% for 30 mg/l and 2.2% for 150 mg/l, respectively. The ozone utilization efficiency of PCR for the phenol concentration 30 mg/l was higher than that of BCR while the efficiency of both reactors was 99.9% for the phenol concentration of 150 mg/l.
