초록

목질계 연료를 사용하는 발전시설에서 세정되어 나오는 목질계 타르 폐수는 간헐적 발생, 발생량 및 발생농도의 변화가 심하여 제거에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 목질계 타르폐수를 기존의 bag filter와 활성탄을 이용한 처리방법에서 개선하여 물리 화학적 처리를 통하여 처리특성을 살펴보았다. 목질계 타르폐수의 화학적인 발생성상은 페놀류의 함유량이 구아이아콜류(guaiacols)와 카보하이드레이트류(carbohydrates)에 비해 약 2배 이상 높게 나타났다. pH의 변화에 따라 NaOH와 PAC이 자동주입 되도록 설치하고 최종처리수의 pH, 탁도, SS를 살펴본 결과, 각각 5.9, 12.6 NTU, 15.1 mg/L로 발전설비의 순환수로서의 가능성을 확인하였다. 기존의 백필터(bag filter)를 이용한 물리적 처리공정에서의 화학물질의 제거효율은 약 20%였으며, 응집 및 침전을 통한 처리효율을 개선한 결과, 약 80%의 화학물질 제거효율을 나타내었다.

There are difficulties in removing wood tar wastewater coming from the power plants that use wood-based fuels due to its intermittent occurrences and severe changes in the amount and concentration. This study investigated the treatment characteristics through physicochemical treatment, an improved method from the existing ones using bag filters and activated carbons to treat wood tar wastewater. In the case of chemical properties of wood tar wastewater, the content of phenols was found to be more than two times higher than that of guaiacols and carbohydrates. Installation is done to ensure that NaOH and PAC are injected automatically according to the change of pH, and then pH, turbidity and SS of the final treated water were examined. The results were 5.9, 12.6 NTU and 15.1 mg/L respectively, which confirmed the possibility of the treated water as circulation water of power plants. In the physical treatment process using a conventional bag filter, removal efficiency of chemicals was about 20%, but the treatment efficiency was improved to show chemical removal efficiency of about 80% through flocculation and sedimentation.
