Abstract

Adsorption performance of odorous compounds such as geosmin and 2-MIB on granular activated carbon were evaluated in this study. The coal-based activated carbon was found more effective than other carbons in adsorption of geosmin and 2-MIB. The wood-based virgin activated carbon was less effective than coconut- and coal-based carbon in adsorption nevertheless having larger pore volume and specific surface area than others carbons. The maximum adsorption capacity(X/M) of coal-based activated carbon for geosmin and 2-MIB was $1.2\sim1.9$ and $2.1\sim2.6$ times larger than coconut- and wood-based virgin activated carbon, respectively. Carbon usage rate (CUR) of coal-, coconut- and wood-based virgin activated carbons for geosmin and 2-MIB were 1.72 and 1.44 g/day, 1.72 and 2.05 g/day and 2.12 and 1.90 g/day, respectively. In the evaluation of adsorption isotherm of geosmin and 2-MIB for coal-, coconut- and wood-based virgin activated carbons, k value of 2-MIB was lower than geosmin, It menas 2-MIB is more difficult to remove by activated carbon adsorption than geosmin. The relationship of max. adsorption versus total pore volume of coconut- and wood-based virgin and used activated carbon for geosmin and 2-MIB were $y=264,459\times-79,047(R^2=0.95)$, $y=319,650\times-101,762(R^2=0.93)$.

활성탄 재질별 geosmin과 2-MIB의 최대 흡착량은 석탄계 재질의 활성탄이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 다음으로 야자계, 목탄계 활성탄 순으로 나타났으며, geosmin과 2-MIB에 대한 석탄계 활성탄의 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 신탄의 경우 야자계와 목탄계 활성탄에 비해 각각 $1.2\sim1.9$배 및 $2.1\sim2.6$배 정도 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 3.1년 사용탄의 경우는 석탄계와 목탄계 재질의 활성탄에서 높게 나타났으며, 5.9년 사용탄의 경우는 목탄계 재질의 활성탄이 석탄계 재질의 활성탄보다도 높게 나타났다. 활성탄에서의 흡착용량을 나타내는 k값의 경우 활성탄 재질별, 사용연수별 geosmin과 2-MIB에 대해 전체적으로 geosmin이 크게 나타나고 있어 활성탄 흡착공정에서 2-MIB 보다 제거가 용이한 것으로 조사되었다. 활성탄 사용율(CUR)은 석탄계 재질의 활성탄이 geosmin과 2-MIB에 대해 1.72 g/day 및 1.44 g/day, 야자계나 목탄계 활성탄의 경우는 각각 1.72와 2.05 g/day 및 2.12와 1.90 g/day의 활성탄을 사용하여야만 제어가 가능한 것으로 조사되었으며, 또한, 3.1년과 5.9년 사용탄의 경우는 목탄계 재질의 활성탄이 geosmin과 2-MIB에 대해 각각 3.13과 4.57 g/day 및 2.87과 4.14 g/day로 나타나 다른 재질의 활성탄들에 비해 적은 양으로도 geosmin과 2-MIB를 제어할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 석탄계와 야자계 재질의 신탄, 3.1년 및 5.9년 사용탄들에 대해 geosmin과 2-MIB의 최대 흡착량(ng/g)과 비표면적$(m^2/g)$ 및 총 세공용적$(cm^3/g)$에 대한 상관성 조사결과, 최대 흡착량은 비표면적 보다는 총 세공용적이 높은 상관성을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 최대 흡착량과 총 세공용적의 상관식은 geosmin의 경우는 $y=264,459\times-79,047(R^2=0.95)$, 2-MIB는 $y=319,650\times-101,762(R^2=0.93)$으로 나타났다.
