Fenton's Reagent is applied to directly dissolve the cation-exchange resin, IRN-77. The characteristics of the experimental procedure is to dry the resin first and $FeSO_4$ solution is completely absorbed into the resin, and then $H_2O_2$ is introduced later for an effective reaction between the reagents within the resin. An a characteristic of the dissolution, the lag time is needed for about 1 hour until the main reaction is occurred, which was more affected with the less concentration of $FeSO_4$ and the less initial dose of $H_2O_2$. The dose of $H_2O_2$ was equally divided into the early stage and the later stage after the initial reaction to provide an effective and safe reaction condition. The optimum conditions is appeared that the concentration of $FeSO_4$ is 0.9M and the dose of 15% $H_2O_2$ solution is 6-7 volume for the dissolution of unit weight of IRN-77. The effect of the heating on the lag time was checked and the time could be reduced within 5 minutes at $50^{\circ}C$, which is a relatively low temperature. The large amount of the resin, 5g and 10g, was also completely decomposed by increasing the dose of $H_2O_2$ to 9-10 volume ratio.

Fenton's reagent is applied to directly decompose the ion-exchange resins, IRN-78 and the mixed resin with IRN-77. The newly applied procedures is to dry the resin first and the catalyst solution is completely absorbed into the resin, then a limited dose of $H_2O_2$ is introduced for an effective reaction between the reagents within the resin. As a characteristic on the decomposition of IRN-78, the resin mixture should be heated to $40^{\circ}C$ to induce the initial reaction and lag time is also needed for about 20 minutes until the main reaction occurs. The effectiveness of the decomposition is investigated using $CuSO_4,\;Cu(NO_3)_2\;and\;FeSO_4$ as a catalyst and the decomposition rate is compared depending on the concentration of each catalyst and the amount of $H_2O_2$. The most effective catalyst was found to be $FeSO_4$ for IRN-78 alone and the mixed resin with IRN-77, and $FeSO_4$ showed a special effect that the reaction was initiated without heating and a lag time. Furthermore, the optimum concentration of the catalyst for each resin and the mixed one is suggested in the view point of the amount of $H_2O_2$ needed and the stability of the decomposition reaction.

The consecutive combination process of a biological process as the pre-treatment and a chemical process as the post-treatment is applied for the dyeing wastewater. The poor efficiency of biological treatment using pure oxygen makes the chemical treatment cost high. It is necessary to improve the efficiency of biological treatment in order to reduce the cost of chemical treatment. The purpose of this paper is to find the minimum dose of chemical reagent to fit the Discharged Water Quality Standards for the different biological treatment effluents. Results revealed that the minimum dosage of Fenton's reagent lead to save the cost of chemical treatment based on the guideline dose in the treatment plant. The possible maximum saving reagents was up to $70\%$ for the effluent of the pilot plant packed with the carrier imbedded microorganisms which were selected from the present treatment plant.

This study investigated the effects of hybrid process(chemical coagulation, Fenton oxidation and ceramic UF(ultrafiltration)) on COD and color removals of commercial reactive dyestuffs. In the case of chemical coagulation, the optimal concentrations of $Fe^{3+}$ coagulant for COD and color removals of RB49(reactive blue 49) and RY84(reactive yellow 84) were determined according to the different coagulant dose at the optimal pH. They were 2.78 mM(pH 7) in RB49 and 1.85 mM(pH 6) in RY84, respectively. In the case of Fenton oxidation, the optimal concentrations of $Fe^{3+}\;and\;H_2O_2$ were obtained. Optimal $[Fe^{2+}]:[H_2O_2]$ molar ratio of COD and color removals of RB49 and RY84 were 4.41:5.73 mM and 1.15:0.81 mM, respectively. In the case of ceramic UF, the flux and rejection of supernatant after Fenton oxidation were investigated. After ceramic UF for 9 hr, the average flux of RB49 and RY84 solutions were $53.4L/m^2hr\;and\;67.4L/m^2hr$ at 1 bar, respectively. In addition, the permeate flux increased and the average flux recovery were 98.5-99.9%(RB49) and 91.0-97.3%(RY84) according to adopting off-line cleaning(5% $H_2SO_4$). Finally, COD and color removals were 91.6-95.7% and 99.8% by hybrid process, respectively.

This study was performed to solve the problem of the 2nd contamination and excessive treatment cost by determining proper quantity of hydrogen peroxide, iron catalyst, mixing method, and input mode that should be provided when Fenton oxidation (this is mostly applied to small contaminated areas such as service station sites) is applied to the excavated and diesel-contaminated soil. Soil artificially contaminated with 10000mg/kg of diesel was used for the experiment. In the batch test, diesel removal seemed to increase as the concentration of hydrogen peroxide increases. When iron catalyst was added, removal efficiency of diesel was much higher than the time when hydrogen peroxide was added solely. The removal efficiency showed greater when Fe(III) was added compared to Fe(II). Column experiment was executed on the basis of results of the batch test to investigate adequate reagent mixing and input methods. The highest efficiency was acquired in the case of separate input mode. Also, it was found that when inputting Fe(III) iron catalyst and separately inputting hydrogen peroxide after dividing the bundle in the column, removal efficiency was 92.8%, which was 9 times greater than that of the first method, 10.5%, when only hydrogen peroxide was added. Thus, it is expected that if the result of this research is applied to Fenton oxidation for the remediation of soil contaminated by diesel, the problem of the 2nd contamination and excessive treatment charge caused by excessive addition of hydrogen peroxide and iron catalyst could be solved.

폐수처리분야에 널리 사용되어 온 펜톤산화반응을 응용한 Fe$^{\circ}$/$H_2O$$_2$시스템을 이용하여 고농도 유류오염 미세호양(100$\mu\textrm{m}$이하)의 화학적 산화처리 실험을 수행하였다. 반응은 100$m\ell$, 삼각프라스크에 오염토양(5g)과 반응시약을 주입한 후 자석교반기를 이용하여 회분 식으로 진행하였으며 일정 시간(0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24hr)별로 TPH를 측정하였다. 그리고 각 조건별 시간에 따른 반응특성을 살펴보았다. 일반적으로 알려진 펜톤산화반응의 수요 반응조건인 초기 pH /$H_2O$$_2$ 및 Fe$^{\circ}$의 주입농도, 그리고 초기 디젤오염농도의 조건을 변화하며 각 조건별 처리효과를 알아보았다. 본 연구결과에서 최적 pH조건은 3인 것으로 나타났으며, 분말철(Fe$^{\circ}$)과 $H_2O$$_2$의 주입농도를 증가함에 따라 오염토양의 TPH 제거효율도 비례적으로 향상되었다. 초기오염농도에 따른 최종 처리효율은 큰 차이가 없었으나. 고농도 오염일수록 제거된 디젤의 총량은 크게 나타나. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법이 고농도 오염토양일수록 더 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 보여주었다. 대부분의 반응이 반응개시 후 약 8시간 이내에 이루어졌는데, 반응에 수반되는 pH 상승과 그에 따른 반응성의 저감효과를 일정 pH 조절에 의해 감소시킴으로써 반응성의 향상을 좀 더 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로, Fe$^{\circ}$/$H_2O$$_2$시스템을 이용한 화학적 산화처리방법은 경제성과 처리성능에서 고농도 유류오염 미세토양의 효율적인 처리방안으로서 향후 적용 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.
