Abstract

Phthalate esters is recently considered as an environmental pollutant. This study investigated removal methods of phthalate esters in water environment. On tap water treatment condition with batch test, removal efficiency of coagulation precipitation of one oxidation were $26.6{\sim}33.8%$ and $10{\sim}15%$, respectively. Phthalate esters was effectively removed by the activated carbon adsorption process on tap water treatment condition. The operation of raw water with EBCT of 10 minutes on continuous process satisfied the standard of drinking water by the WHO and US EPA when the concentration of phthalate esters was $100\;{\mu}g/L$. On pilot plant test, coagulation precipitation process got $32{\sim}44%$ of removal efficiency, sand filtration process $6{\sim}10%$ and ozone oxidation process $8{\sim}10%$, respectively. DEP, DBP, BBP and DEHP were not detected after the raw water was processed with activated carbon. The actual survey of phthalate esters removal by advanced water treatment showed that $29{\sim}76%$, $3{\sim}29%$ and $17{\sim}22%$ of phthalate esters were removed on coagulation precipitation process, sand filtration and ozone oxidation process, respectively. DEP, DBP, BBP and DEHP were not detected after the raw water was processed with activated carbon.

내분비계장애물질로 분류된 phthalate esters의 제거방법에 대해 연구하였다. 상수처리조건에서 회분식으로 제거실험을 한 결과 응집침전은 $26.6{\sim}33.8%$, 오존산화에서는 $10{\sim}15%$ 제거효율을 나타내었다. 상수처리조건에서 활성탄 흡착에 의해 효과적으로 제거되는 것으로 나타났고 연속공정에서 EBCT를 10분 운전했을 때 원수의 phthalate esters농도가 $100\;{\mu}g/L$일 경우 WHO 및 US EPA 먹는 물 기준 달성이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. Pilot plant 실험결과 응집침전공정에서 $32{\sim}44%$, 사여과 공정에서는 $6{\sim}10%$, 오존산화공정에서 $8{\sim}10%$의 제거효율을 보였으며 활성탄 흡착공정을 거친 후에는 4가지 물질(DEP, DBP, BBP 및 DEHP)모두 검출되지 않았다. 실제 고도처리 정수장에서의 공정별 phthalate esters 제거율은 응집침전 공정에서 $29{\sim}76%$ 정도 제거되었고 모래여과 공정에서 $3{\sim}29%$, 오존산화 공정에서 $17{\sim}22%$ 제거되었으며, 활성탄 처리 후에는 4가지 물질 모두 검출되지 않았다.
