Abstract

A system combining an electrochemical method and an adsorption system using activated carbon was assessed to facilitate the reuse of cabbage-salting brine. IrOx/Ti insoluble catalyst electrodes were used in the experiment. The results were analyzed to identify any changes in the residual chlorine concentration according to variations in the current density at a salinity of 10 %, as well as the capacity of the activated carbon to adsorb the residual chlorine and organic matter. For current densities of $500A/m^2$ and $1,000A/m^2$, the residual chlorine concentration did not increase, instead stabilizing once the current reached 0.33 Ah/L. To assess the adsorption efficiency according to the residual chlorine concentration, the unit amount of the adsorption can be estimated from $Y=0.0066+2.087{\times}10^{-4}b$. For both residual chlorine generation using an electrochemical method and chlorine removal through activated-carbon adsorption, the unit amount of adsorption was 0.33 g/g. The maximum amount of $COD_{Cr}$ organic matter adsorbed by the activated carbon was 0.021 g/g, while for $COD_{Mn}$, the value was 0.004 g/g.

절임염수 재이용을 위한 전기화학적 시스템과 활성탄 흡착시스템 연계를 위한 평가를 수행하였다. 대상 전극은 IrOx/Ti 불용성촉매전극을 사용하였으며, 염분 농도 10 %에서의 전류밀도에 따른 잔류염소 농도 변화와 활성탄을 이용한 잔류된 염소 및 유기물 흡착능을 확인하였다. 실험 결과, $500A/m^2$, $1,000A/m^2$의 경우 인가된 전류량이 0.33 Ah/L일 때 더 이상 잔류염소 농도 증가 없이 일정하게 유지되는 것을 확인하였다. 잔류염소 농도 별 흡착효율 평가 시 단위흡착량은 $Y=0.0066+2.087{\times}10^{-4}b$ 식을 유추할 수 있으며 전기화학 방법에 의한 잔류염소 발생과 활성탄 흡착에 의한 제거 시 단위흡착제거량이 0.33 g/g으로 동일하게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 활성탄 최대 유기물 흡착량은 $COD_{Cr}$의 경우 0.021 g/g, $COD_{Mn}$의 경우 0.004 g/g을 확인하였다.
