Abstract

In this study, a formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA), a disinfection by-product, was investigated as a result of monochloramine addition in water. The NDMA formation was studied in terms of pH, dimethylamine(DMA), monochloramine concentration, and nitrogen composition in monochloramine. At a fixed DMA concentration of 0.01 mM or 0.05 mM, the NDMA formed concentration was quite different when the monochloramine to DMA ratio is less or greater than 1. The NDMA formation increased with increasing pH and a ratio of nitrogen composition in monochloramine to total nitrogen composition. At pH 7 and 8, more than five times higher NDMA formation was produced as a result of five times increase in DMA concentration. It was likely that monochloramine could be related to stimulate NDMA formation, if monochloramine may be produced with chlorine disinfection, in water treatment systems.

본 연구에서는 수처리에서 모노클로라민을 주입 할 경우 살균 부산물로 NDMA 발생정도를 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 pH, 디메칠아민 및 모노클로라민 농도, 질소비율의 변화에 따른 NDMA 생성 농도를 측정하였다. 디메칠아민 농도를 0.01 mM또는 0.05 mM로 고정시킨 조건에서 모노클로라민/디메칠아민 비율이 1보다 클 때와 작을 때에 따라 NDMA 생성에 큰 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. NDMA 생성 농도는 일반적으로 pH와 모노클로라민에 존재하는 질소비율 증가에 따라 높게 나타나는 상관성을 보여 주었으며, pH 7과 8에서는 디메칠아민을 5배 증가시킨 결과 거의 모든 조건에서 NDMA 생성도 5배 이상 증가하였다. 수 처리장에서 염소살균 결과 모노클로라민이 존재 할 경우 NDMA 생성을 촉진시킬 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다.
