Abstract

Coal-, coconut- and wood-based activated carbons and anthracite were tested to evaluate adsorption and biodegradation performances of chloral hydrate. In the early stage of the operation, the adsorption was the main mechanism for the removal of chloral hydrate, however as increasing populations of attached bacteria, the bacteria played a major role in removing chloral hydrate in the activated carbon and anthracite biofilter. It was also investigated that chloral hydrate was readily subjected to biodegrade. The coal- and coconut-based activated carbons were found to be most effective adsorbents in adsorption of chloral hydrate. Highest populations and activity of attached bacteria were shown in the coal-based activated carbon. The populations and activity of attached bacteria decreased in the order: coconut-based activated carbon > wood-based activated carbon > anthracite. The attached bacteria was inhibited in the removal of chloral hydrate at temperatures below 10$^{\circ}C$. It was more active at higher water temperatures(20$^{\circ}C$ <) but less active at lower water temperature(10$^{\circ}C$>). The removal efficiencies of chloral hydrate obtained by using four different adsorbents were directly related to the water temperatures. Water temperature was the most important factor for removal of chloral hydrate in the anthracite biofilter because the removal of chloral hydrate depended mainly on biodegradation. Therefore, the main removal mechanism of chloral hydrate by applying activated carbon was both adsorption and biodegradation by the attached bacteria. The observation suggests that the application of coalbased activated carbon to the water treatment should be the best for the removal of chloral hydrate.

본 연구에서는 석탄계, 야자계, 목탄계 활성탄과 흡착능이 없는 안트라사이트를 이용하여 클로랄하이드레이트에 대한 흡착 및 생물분해 특성을 평가하였다. 활성탄 공정에서 클로랄하이드레이트의 제거기작은 운전초기에는 흡착이 높은 비중을 차지하나 부착미생물의 활성이 증진되면서 부착미생물에 의한 생분해와 흡착에 의해 제거되었으며, 클로랄하이드레이트는 생분해능이 큰 물질들로 조사되었다. 입상활성탄 재질별 클로랄하이드레이트의 제거 특성은 석탄계와 야자계 활성탄에서 제거율이 높았고, 목탄계는 상대적으로 낮은 제거능을 보였으며, 안트라사이트 biofilter에서 가장 낮은 제거능을 보였다. 활성탄 재질별 부착 미생물의 생체량과 활성도는 석탄계가 가장 높았고, 야자계, 목탄계, 안트라사이트 순으로 나타났으며, 수온 변화에 따른 클로랄하이드레이트의 제거 특성은 수온이 10$^{\circ}C$ 이하로 저하될 경우 부착 bacteria의 생체량과 활성도 감소로 제거율이 감소하였다. 안트라사이트를 이용한 생물여과 공정은 수온의 변화에 아주 민감하게 변하는 양상을 나타내었으며, 이는 부착 bacteria에 의한 직접적인 생물분해가 주 제거 메카니즘이기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 클로랄하이드레이트의 제거시 유입농도가 높은 경우에는 수온의 영향이 매우 중요하며, 흡착능이 소진된 활성탄이나 흡착능이 없는 여재를 사용한 생물여과 공정에서는 수온이 낮은 동절기에는 클로랄하이드레이트의 유출 가능성이 있었다.
