Abstract

The removal of chlorine from aqueous solutions on dried Chlorella vulgaris(DCV) and green tea powder(GTP) were investigated as a function of contact time, pH and initial chlorine concentration. Removal by DCV and GTP reached equilibrium after 3hrs and 0.5hr, respectively. Optimum removal pH values of DCV and GTP were determined as above 10. Both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were suitable for describing the short-term removal of chlorine by DCV and GTP. According to Langmuir adsorption isotherms the maximum removal capacity of DCV (2.75mg $Cl_2/mg$) was nearly two times greater than those of GTP (1.53mg $Cl_2/mg$) and activated carbon (1.47mg $Cl_2/mg$). These results suggested that Chlorella vulgaris biomass might potentially be used as an alternative to traditional water treatment materials for removal of residual chlorine in drinking water or process waste-water.

클로렐라는 건강보조식품으로 이용될 뿐만 아니라 수용액상에서 중금속 제거를 위한 흡착제로 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 클로렐라를 이용하여 수도물의 소독제로 사용되는 염소의 제거 효과를 확인하였으며 그 결과를 녹차, activated carbon과 비교하였다. 수용액상에서 pH와 초기염소의 농도가 염소의 제거에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 최적의 제거 pH는 10이었으며, 염소의 제거량은 초기 염소의 농도가 1.62 g/L까지 증가함에 따라 2.46 mg/mg까지 증가하였다. 녹차의 경우 초기 염소의 농도가 1.0 g/L 이상으로 증가하여도 제거량은 약 1.5mg/mg 정도에 더 이상 증가하지 않았다. 클로렐라와 녹차에 의한 염소의 제거 결과는 Langmuir 흡착모델과 Freundlich 흡착모델에 대단히 잘 맞았으며 Langmuir 흡착모델에 의한 클로렐라의 최대 흡착량은 녹차와 activated carbon의 최대 흡착량에 비하여 약 2배로 나타나 클로렐라의 염소의 제거효능이 매우 우수한 것으로 사료되었다.
