Abstract

This study focused on the availability of wastewater reclamation and reusing system as one of the alternatives against the global water shortage in near future, which system is composed of two treatment steps; first, wastewater is injected into upflow $A^2O$ biofilm process(anaerobic/anoxic/oxic) reactor filled with polyethylene fixed-media, and the effluent of 1st steps continuously passed through downflow nano silver sand filter. The pH of the effluent ranged from 7.39 to 8.06(average 7.84), the $COD_{Mn}$ was $8{\sim}18mg/L$(average 12.1 mg/L), and $BOD_5$ was $2.1{\sim}10.0mg/L$(average 4.9 mg/L), that met all the wastewater reclamation and reusing system criteria. Besides, the SS concentrations of the effluent which was $3{\sim}9mg/L$(average 4.95 mg/L) met the criteria(5 mg/L), showing 94.8% of average removal efficiency. The 99.1% of the average removal efficiency of the E-coliform did not met the criteria(Not detected), which indicates the needs for the following chlorine disinfection treatment with the residual chlorine concentration of above 0.2 mg/L. There are no bacteria on the sand surface coated by nano silver. The removal efficiency of T-N and T-P that could be included into the criteria in the future was 50.3% and 27.2% respectively.

본 연구는 다가올 물 부족에 따른 하나의 대안으로서 중수도 시스템에 초점을 맞추어, 생활오수를 이용하여 혐기/무산소/호기조의 $A^2O$ 생물막 공법으로 구성된 상향류식 고정상 담체 반응기로 처리한 오수를 하향류식 은나노 모래여과 반응기에 다시 연속 통과시켜 이중 처리하여 얻은 처리수를 중수도에 활용이 가능하지에 대하여 연구하였다. 이중 공정 후 배출수의 pH는 $7.39{\sim}8.06$(평균 7.84) 범위이었고, $COD_{Mn}$$8{\sim}18mg/L$(평균 12.1 mg/L), $BOD_5$$2.1{\sim}10mg/L$(평균 4.9 mg/L)로 중수도 수질 기준에 적합하였다. SS는 $3{\sim}9mg/L$의 범위로 평균 농도가 4.95 mg/L를 나타내면서 SS 제거율이 94.8%로 대부분 법적 기준치 5 mg/L 이하로 처리되어 가능성을 보여 주었다. 대장균군 수의 평균 제거율이 99.1%이었으며, 배출수의 평균 대장균 군수는 65 MPN/100mL이 검출되었으나 중수도 수질 기준에는 불검출로 되어 있으므로 완벽한 제거를 위해서는 0.2 mg/L 이상의 결합잔류염소의 양을 고려한 염소 처리를 하여야 한다. SEM 사진으로부터 은모래 표면에서는 박테리아가 존재하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 이 외에 중수도 수질 기준에 포함될 가능성이 있는 총질소 및 총인의 제거율은 각각 50.3%와 27.2%이었다.
