Abstract

Both ultraviolet (UV) and ultrasound (US) systems are used in degrading of organic contaminants and they can thus be applicable simultaneously as an UV/US hybrid system in attempts further to increase the degradation efficiency. The pseudo-first order degradation rate constants with the UV, US and UV/US hybrid irradiation were 2.60, 10.34, and $14.81{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$, respectively. It was observed that the synergistic effect of UV/US hybrid system for degrading the bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). The highest rate of DEHP degradation was found during UV/US hybrid irradiation and the synergistic effect factor (SEF) was calculated to be 1.15 based on the pseudo-first order degradation rate constants. Results indicate that synergistic effect of UV/US hybrid system is closely correlated to the enhancement of sonochemical reactivity with the UV-US interaction of increasing the formation rate of OHby providing additional $H_2O_2$ production through the pyrolysis of water molecules during UV/US hybrid irradiation.

본 연구는 UV와 US를 함께 조사하는 UV/US 연계 공정을 통해 발생하는 시너지 효과를 조사하고, 이를 효과적으로 오염물질 처리 공정에 적용 가능한지에 대하여 연구하였다. US를 조사하는 경우에는 $H_2O_2$의 농도가 지속적으로 증가하지만, UV/US를 동시에 조사한 경우 $H_2O_2$의 농도가 증가하는 속도가 점점 감소하여 일정 농도로 수렴하는 포화속도곡선의 경향을 보였으며, US가 단독으로 조사되었을 때 생성된 $H_2O_2$와 UV/US 연계 공정을 통해 생성된 $H_2O_2$와의 차이가 오염물질 제거율 향상에 시너지 효과를 일으킨다고 판단된다. 시너지 효과를 검증하기 위해 인체에 유해한 영향을 미치는 가소제 중 하나인 bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP)를 이용하여 제거실험을 실시하였다. UV와 US를 동시에 조사하는 UV/US 연계 공정의 경우 DEHP의 제거 유사 일차반응 속도상수(k1)가 $14.81{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$로 UV만 조사하는 경우의 $2.60{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$과 US만 조사하는 경우의 $10.34{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$보다 더 큰 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 UV/US 연계 공정에서 DEHP의 제거가 더 활발하게 일어남을 확인하였으며, 이는 시너지 효과에 의한 것이라 판단된다. 또한 DEHP 제거 유사 일차반응 속도상수 값을 이용하여 시너지 효과를 이론적으로 계산한 결과 시너지 효과 값은 1.15로 나타나 기준값인 1보다 큰 값을 가지므로 시너지 효과가 발생했다고 판단된다.
