Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ozonation as pretreatment on the removal of dissolved or biodegradable organic matter(DOM or BOM), the variance of DOM fractionation, and microbial regrowth by pilot-scale granular activated carbon processes in which adsorption and biodegradability was proceeding due to long time operation. Regardless of point of ozonation applied, GAC processes with ozonation(i.e., Ozonation combined with GAC Filter-adsorber; Pre O$_3$ + F/A, Ozonation combined with GAC adsorber; Post O$_3$ + GAC) compared with GAC processes without ozonation(i.e., GAC Filter-adsorber; F/A, GAC adsorber; GAC) removed approximately 10 to 20% more of DOC, hydrophilic DOM(HPI), BDOC and AOC after long period of operation that biological activity was assumed to happen. Ozonation was not found to have a significant effect on the removal of DOC, but caused the decrease of AOC by approximately 20%. It was found that the fixed bacterial biomass on GAC media did not show a significant difference between the GAC with ozonation and GAC without ozonation as pre-treatment, whereas the HPC of column effluent was more biostable at Post O$_3$ + GAC compared with F/A or GAC.

본 연구의 목적은 파일롯 규모의 입상활성탄지에서 흡착과 생물학적 제거 기작이 진행되는 장기간의 운전동안 전처리공정으로서 오존처리의 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 공정별로 용존 또는 생분해성 유기물질의 제거, DOM의 성상과 특성변화와 미생물의 증식의 변화를 평가하였다. 오존공정이 존재하는 입상활성탄 공정(전오존처리+활성탄 여과지; Pre O$_3$ + F/A, 후오존처리 + 활성탄 흡착지; Post O$_3$ + GAC)은 오존의 위치(전오존 후오존)에 상관없이 입상활성탄 단독공정(활성탄 여과지; F/A, 활성탄 흡착지; GAC)에 비해 생물학적 제거능이 활성화된 장기간 운영 후에 DOC, 친수성 용존유기물(HPI), BDOC와 AOC의 제거율이 10$\sim$20% 정도로 높았다. 오존공정은 전반적인 DOC 제거에는 큰 영향을 주지는 못했지만, AOC를 약 20% 정도로 감소시켜 관로내 미생물의 재증식을 저감하는데 기여할 것으로 생각된다. 활성탄 여재에 고정된 미생물의 생체량인 Biomass는 전처리로서 오존처리의 유.무에 상관없이 공정별로 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 반면에, 유출수에서의 HPC는 F/A나 GAC에 비해 Post O$_3$ + GAC에서 매우 낮았다.
