Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the several factors for affecting chlorine disinfection by-products(DBPs) characteristics by reacting chlorine and organic matters in the aquatic phase. The results of this research yield the following specific conclusions: The concentration of trihalomethanes(THMs) was increased with increasing dissolved organic carbon(DOC), and a trend of THMs formation was parabolic with increasing organic matters. Formations of THMs increased straightly for the first 4 hours and the amounts of producted THMs for the 30 minutes were up to $25\sim43%$ in the entire experiment periods(168 hours). When keeping up the concentration of organic matters at constant and changing that of bromide, the quantity of formed THMs did not show distinguished difference with the reaction times. THMs were gradually increased at $4^{\circ}C$ even though a reaction phase was parabolic formation(PF) phase. However, THMs were increased rapidly in the instantaneous formation(IF) phase and then became slowdown in the PF phase between $20\sim35^{\circ}C$. THMs were gradually increased although entering in the PF phase at pH 5. However, THMswere increased rapidly in the IF phase and then became slowdown in the PF phase at pH 7 and pH 9, and these treads were much more clear at pH 9 than at pH 7.

THM 생성은 염소접촉 후 4시간까지 선형적인 증가추세를 보이며, 많은 양의 THM이 생성되는 것으로 나타났으며, 반응 30분만에 168시간 동안 생성된 양의 총 $25\sim43%$의 비율을 차지하였다. 또한, 수중의 브롬이온 농도에 따른 THM 생성특성 조사에서 유기성 전구물질인 humic acid의 농도는 일정하고, 브롬이온의 농도만 $0\sim50{\mu}g/L$까지 변화시켜 염소처리하였을 경우에는 생성되는 총 THM의 농도는 접촉시간 별로 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 수온변화에 따른 THM 생성특성 조사에서 수온이 낮은 $4^{\circ}C$일 때는 PF(parabolic formation) phase로 접어들어서도 THM 생성량이 계속적으로 증가하는 양상을 나타내었으며, $20^{\circ}C$와 $35^{\circ}C$의 경우에는 IF(instantaneous formation) phase까지 급격한 증가추세를 보인 후 PF phase에 도달하여서는 그 증가추세가 둔화되는 것으로 나타났다. pH 변화에 따른 THM 생성특성 조사에서 pH가 5일 경우 IF phase까지 증가추세를 보인 후, PF phase로 접어들어서도 계속적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났지만 pH가 7과 pH가 9의 경우에는 IF phase까지 급격한 증가추세를 보인 후 PF phase에 도달하여서는 그 증가 경향이 아주 둔화되는 것을 볼 수 있으며, 이런 현상은 pH가 9일 경우에는 더욱 두드러지게 나타났다.
