Water Treatment Method for Removal of Trihalomethanes, Pesticides, Heavy Metals and Detergent in Drinking Water (1). -Effective Removal Method of Trihalomethanes in Drinking Water-

상수처리시 토양현탁액과 같은 유기물이 있을 때 산화제, 응집제 및 흡착제의 종류를 달리하고 처리방법을 변경시켰을 때 THMs 및 유기물의 제거정도를 조사하였다. 산화제로 처리된 $ClO_2$가 다른 산화제인 $Cl_2,\;NH_2Cl,\;KMnO_2$ 및 $O_3$ 보다 THMs 생성억제와 THMs의 전구물질인 유기물을 제거시키는데 가장 효율적이었다. 산화제$(Cl_2,\;NH_2Cl,\;KMnO_4,\;ClO_2,\;O_3)$를 응집 이후에 처리하였을 때 유기물의 양은 거의 변화가 없었으나 THMs의 생성량은 응집 이전 처리보다 약 $36.7{\sim}8.2%$ 정도 감소하였다. 수중 유기물을 응집 제거시키기 위하여 응집제로 alum과 ferric sulfate를 처리하였을 때 응집 효율은 유기물의 분자량 분포에 따라 상이하게 나타났다. THMs 제거 및 생성 억제를 위한 활성탄의 처리는 여과 이후의 처리가 산화제 처리 이전의 활성탄 처리보다 효과적이었다.

This study was conducted to determine the effective removal method of THMs and humic material in drinking water when the doses of oxidants, coagulants, and activated carbon, and the points of oxidants treatment were changed in the drinking water treatment process. The inhibition of THMs formation and the removal of humic matter were more effectively achieved by $ClO_2$ than by other oxidants, $Cl_2,\;NH_2Cl,\;KMnO_4\;and\;O_3$. By changing the point of oxidant treatment, the formation of THMs was reduced by about 36.7 to 8.2% on treatment after coagulation, but the content of humic matter was not affected. The coagulation efficiency of alum and ferric sulfate to coagulate organic materials in water was affected by the molecular weight of humic matter in drinking water. The treatment of activated carbon after filtration was found to be more effective than that before oxidation in inhibiting THMs formation and removing THMs.
