Abstract

This study evaluated the efficacy of Ti-based coagulants on phosphorus (P) removal from municipal wastewater and compared them with Al-based coagulants. Jar test experiments were performed at various chemical doses and OH/Ti molar ratio (B value). The higher the intial phosphate ($PO_4-P$) concentration, the lower the [Ti]/[P] to reach a residual concentration below 0.2 mg P/L. Removal efficiencies of total phosphorus increased with an increased coagulant dose but decreased after the efficiencies reached their maximum value regardless of coagulant or B value. On the other hand, $PO_4-P$ removal showed an increasing trend with an increased coagulant dose, reaching the plateau value under large coagulant dose conditions for both Ti- and Al-based coagulants regardless of B value. The chemical dose of Ti-based coagulants was approximately twice higher than that of Al-based coagulants with the same P-removal efficiency. The coagulation efficiency was influenced by different B values.

본 연구에서는 하수 내 인 제거 시 티타늄계열 응집제의 인 제거특성을 알아보기 위해 알루미늄계열 응집제와 비교하였다. Jar-tester를 이용하여 다양한 OH/Ti 몰비(B값)의 응집제를 투여하여 실험을 진행하였다. 초기 인 농도가 증가할수록 처리 후 $PO_4-P$ 농도가 0.2 mg P/L 이하에 도달하기 위한 [Ti]/[P]는 감소하였다. T-P 제거효율은 응집제 주입량이 증가할수록 높아졌지만, 최고 제거효율에 도달한 후에는 B값에 관계없이 감소하였다. 반면에 $PO_4-P$ 제거율은 최고점에 도달한 후 B값에 상관없이 일정하게 유지하는 경향이 나타났다. 동일한 인 제거효율에서 Ti계열 응집제의 주입량은 Al계열 응집제보다 약 2배정도 높았다. 또한, Ti계열 응집제의 B값에 따라 인제거효율에 영향을 미쳤다.
