Abstract

Phosphate is an essential material for the growth of organisms. However. since relatively small amount is required. a large amount of phosphate is abandoned in wastes and wastewater. which contaminate the ecological environment including aquatic system. Purpose of this study is to treat especially high concentrated phosphate wastewater by use of calcium precipitation method. The pH range considered was from 6 to 12 and the maximum removal of phosphate was attained at pH 12. The con-centration of phosphate was observed to decrease rapidly until a half amount of calcium ion to its equivalent for the formation of calcium phosphate precipitate was added. which resulted in the decrease of the remaining concentration of phosphate down to 0.0027 mM. The effect of fluoride ion was examined and the concentration ratio between the phosphate and fluoride ion did not have any significant influence on the removal efficiency of phosphate. The effect of pH was also investigated. With the increasing of the pH in solution, the removal rate of phosphate was increased. Also it was investigated that the effect of fluoride on the phosphate removal was not significant.

인산염은 유기물의 성장에 필요한 중요한 영양물질이나 아주 미량이 필요하여 폐수 중의 인산염은 오염물질로 작용하며 수생 생태계에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 고농도의 인산염에 대하여 칼슘을 이용한 침전법를 사용하여 인산염의 제거에 관한 연구를 수행하였으며 폐수의 재이용 방면에 대해 고찰하였다. 인산염의 침전 제거 시 pH 조건은 pH 6에서 pH 12로 고려하였는데, pH 12에서 가장 좋은 효율을 나타내었다. 또한 인산염은 침전반응에 의하여 칼슘을 침전반응 당량비의 0.5배 투입한 경우까지 제거율이 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며 인산염의 잔존량은 0.0027 mM 까지 낮추는 효과를 가져왔다. 불소가 오염물로 존재하는 상황에서 인산염을 제거하기 위한 실험은 pH 및 농도비에 따라 진행되었으며 pH가 증가할수록 인산염의 제거율은 증가하였다. 또한 인산염 : 불소의 농도비가 증가하여도 인산염의 제거율은 크게 영향을 받지 않은 것이 관찰되었다.
