Abstract

In this study, abiotic transformation of TNT reduction products via oxidative-coupling reaction was investigated using Mn oxide. In batch experiments, all the reduction products tested were completely transformed by birnessite, one of natural Mn oxides present in soil. Oxidative-coupling was the major transformation pathway, as confirmed by mass spectrometric analysis. Using observed pseudo-first-order rate constants with respect to birnessite loadings, surface area-normalized specific rate constants, $k_{surf}$, were determined. As expected, $k_{surf}$ of diaminonitrotoluenes (DATs) ($1.49{\sim}1.91\;L/m^2{\cdot}day$) are greater about 2 orders than that of dinitroaminotoluenes (DNTs) ($1.15{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}2.09{\times}10^{-2}\;L/m^2{\cdot}day$) due to the increased number of amine group. In addition, by comparing the value of $k_{surf}$ between DNTs or DATs, amino group on ortho position is likely to be more preferred for the oxidation by birnessite. Although cross-coupling of TNT in the presence of various mediator compounds was found not to be feasible, transformation of TNT by reduction using $Fe^0$ followed by oxidative coupling using Mn oxide was efficient, as evaluated by UV-visible spectrometry.

본 연구에서는 망간산화물을 이용하여 TNT 환원부산물들의 산화-결합반응(oxidative-coupling reaction)에 의한 변환반응을 조사하였다. 회분식 실험으로부터 일반 토양중에 존재하는 망간산화물의 하나인 버네사이트(birnessite)에 의해 실험에 사용한 TNT 환원부산물들이 완전히 변환되고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이러한 변환의 주요 원인은 산화-결합반응을 통한 중합체 형성에 기인한 것임을 M/S 분석을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 각 TNT 환원부산물을 대상으로 버네사이트의 양에 따른 반응속도 실험을 통해 유사-일차 반응상수를 구하였고, 이로부터 버네사이트 비표면적에 대해 표준화한 반응상수, $k_{surf}$를 도출하였다. 아민기를 두 개 가지고 있는 diaminonitrotoluenes (DATs)의 $k_{surf}$값($1.49{\sim}1.91\;L/m^2{\cdot}day$)이 아민기를 하나 가지고 있는 dinitroaminotoluenes (DNTs)의 $k_{surf}$값($1.15{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}2.09{\times}10^{-2}\;L/m^2{\cdot}day$)에 비해 약 $10^2$배 정도 큼을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 DNTs 혹은 DATs들간의 $k_{surf}$값을 비교함으로써 ortho 위치에 있는 아민기가 para 위치의 아민기에 비해 버네사이트에 의한 산화반응에 유리함을 확인할 수 있었다. TNT가 다양한 반응매개체(mediator)의 존재 하에서 상호결합 반응(cross-coupling)에 의해 제거되기는 어려우나, $Fe^0$ 및 망간산화물에 의한 연속처리로부터 TNT를 효과적으로 처리할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
