Abstract

Soil aquifer treatment is a water reuse technology that secondary or tertiary treated wastewater is infiltrated into the aquifer in which physical and biochemical reactions occur. Major consideration in SAT is the removal and transport of DOC and nitrogen species. In this study, reaction mechanism in SAT was examined considering nitrification, denitrification and organic oxidation. In addition, SAT modeling system was developed as the reaction mechanism was applied to groundwater flow and transport model. In verification of the reaction module by 1-dimensional unsaturated soil column test, the experimental data of all of the species, ammonium, nitrate, DOC and DO, were well matched with the simulation results. In sensitivity analysis, ammonium partition coefficient, dissolved oxygen inhibition constant and biomass decay rate affect ammonium, DOC and DO concentration of effluent, respectively.

토양/대수층 처리(Soil Aquifer Treatment, SAT)는 하수처리장으로부터의 2차 또는 3차 처리수를 대수층으로 침투시켜, 토양 매질에서 일어나는 물리적/생화학적 반응에 의해 재처리하는 용수 재이용 기술이다. SAT에서의 주요 관심 대상은 유기물과 질소화합물의 제거와 이송에 있다. 본 연구에서는 암모늄의 질산화 반응, 질소산회물의 탈질 반응, 그리고 유기물의 산화반응을 고려하여 SAT에서 일어나는 반응 메커니즘을 규명하고 이를 지하수 흐름과 이송 모렐 에 접목시킴으로써 SAT 모델링 시스템을 구현하고자 하였다. 실험실 일차원 불포화 토양 컬럼 실험을 통한 모델 검증에서 암모늄, 질산성 질소, DOC, 용존산소 모두 일정한 농도 범위 안에서 일치하였다. 모델 변수에 대한 민감도 분석에서, 암모늄 분배계수는 유출부의 암모늄 농도에, 용존산소 저해상수는 유출부의 유기물 농도에, 그리고 미생물 감쇄계수는 유출부의 용존산소 농도에 영향을 주었다.
