Abstract

Although formation of organic chloramines have been studied for decades, most of them have involved model organic compounds (e.g., amino acids) but not naturally occurring organic nitrogen in water. This study investigated formation of organic chloramines during chlorination of 16 natural organic matters (NOM) solutions which were isolated from surface water and contained dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). Organic chloramine yields per chlorine consumption was $0.25mg-Cl_2/mg-Cl_2$. Upon chlorination of NOM solutions, organic chloramines were rapidly formed within 10 minutes. The average organic chloramine yields upon addition of chlorine in to NOM solutions were $0.78mg-Cl_2/mg-DON$ at 10 minutes and $0.16mg-Cl_2/mg-DON$ at 24 hours. Organic chloramine yields increased as the dissolved organic carbon/dissolved organic nitrogen (DOC/DON) ratios decreased. Chlorination of molecular weight (10,000 Da) fractionated samples showed that the influence of DON molecular weights on the organic chloramine formation was minimal.

염소 소독시 유기성 클로라민 생성에 대한 대부분의 연구가 모델 화합물질(예, 아미노산)을 사용한 연구결과로, 실제 자연상태에서 발생된 용존유기질소(DON)에 의한 유기성 클로라민 생성에 적용할 수 없다. 본 연구는 지표수에서 추출된 16개 천연유기물질(NOM)을 사용하여 염소 소독시 DON이 유기성 클로라민 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 크게 염소 주입량과 반응시간, 그리고 DON 분자량이 유기성 클로라민 생성에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 염소 주입량을 변화시킨 시험결과, 소비된 염소량 1 mg당 0.25 mg이 유기성 클로라민으로 전환되었다. DON은 염소와 반응하여 10분 이내에 빠르게 유기성 클로라민을 생성하였고, 그 후 계속해서 분해(가수분해, 산화)되었다. 반응시간 10분과 24시간의 유기성 클로라민 평균값은 각각 0.78과 $0.16mg-Cl_2/mg-DON$이었다. NOM의 DOC/DON 비율이 낮을수록, 즉 NOM내 DON의 함량비가 높을수록 유기성 클로라민 생성율이 높았다. 10,000 Da 분획시험 결과, DON의 분자량은 유기성 클로라민의 생성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다.
