The effect of ozone on the formation and the removal of disinfection byproducts(DBPs) of chlorination process was studied to elucidate the performance of water treatment process. The samples of raw water, prechlorination process, and preozonation process were analyzed quantitatively according to the Standard Methods for the Examination of drinking water. As a result, most of total trihalomethanes(THMs) which were formed in prechlorine treatment process was not removed in the preozonation process. Most of haloacetic acids(HAAs), haloacetonitriles(HANs), and chloral hydrate(CH) was removed in sedimentation and biological activated carbon(BAC) filtration processes. However, DBPs were increased more or less by postchlorine step. In particular, the formation of THMs and HAAs depends on ozone more than chlorine, but, the formation of HANs and CH depends on chlorine more than ozone. The seasonal variation of DBPs concentration for the year needs to be investigated to study the temperature effect because DBPs strongly depend on temperature among various efficient factors.

This study was researched for disinfection by-products (DBPs) by preozonation, prechlorination and/or postchlorination. DBPs including trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), halonitriles, and aldehydes were analyzed by the treatment steps of prechlorination, preozonation, sedimentation, filtration, and postchlorination comparatively. THMs were detected as $52.20{\mu}g/L$ after prechlorination and decreased during sedimentation and filtration process. The HAAs and aldehydes increased more during preozonaiton than prechlorination. However, chlorinated DBPs and aldehydes increased more by postchlorination. Chlorinated DBPs formed by preozonation increased 26% more than the chlorination process. If aldehydes were included in the total DBPs, DBPs increased up to 39% by preozonation. Preozonation could increase the removal efficiency of organic carbon during the coagulation and sedimentation processes. Ozonation might produce aldehydes that are not permitted for drinking water regulations. Also, DBPs were produced by preozonation than by chlorination. These results would bring a need for alternative disinfection studies to decrease DBPs.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical characteristics with the elapsed time of $1\~10$ minutes after adding green tea leaves in the tap water. The results are summarized as follows: 1. $UV_{254}$ measurement increased sharply in direct opposition to increasing conductivity slowly. It is expected that the water soluble organic matters were better extracted than minerals. 2. Residual chlorine decay coefficients evaluated by assuming first-order reaction was increased in proportion to adding weights of green tea leaves. 3. In DBP formation experiments, residual chlorine decreased when reaction time was elapsed. whereas DBPs such as HAAs and THMs increased with the passing of time. From these results, it was showed that residual chlorine decay was related with the formation of DBPs. Therefore, use of boiled tap water in preparation of green tea is suggested if the residual chlorine in the tap water is high.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of disinfection by-products (DBPs-trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) and haloacetonitriles (HANs) formation in chlorination of principal raw waters used for drinking water on Jeju Island, Korea. The domestic water supply of other area and humic acid solution (HA) were used as a reference point. The effects of chlorine contact time, solution temperature and pH on DBPs formation potential (DBPFP) were investigated for raw waters. In addition, the effect of $Br^-$ was studied for HA. The DBPFP (THMFP, HAAFP and HANFP) were increased with increasing chlorine contact time. Comparing the individual DBPFPs for raw waters, they decreased in the order of HAAFP > THMFP ${\geq}$ HANFP. As the solution temperature was increased, the THMFP, HAAFP and HANFP increased. With increasing the solution pH, the THMFP was increased, but HAAFP and HANFP were decreased. With the addition of 0.3 mg/L $Br^-$ for HA, the DBPFP was increased and the major chemical species changed: from trichloromethane to dibromochloromethane and tribromomethane for THMs; from dichloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid to tribromoacetic acid for HAAs; and from dichloroacetonitrile to dibromoacetonitrile for HANs.

클로로포름(chloroform), 디클로로아세틱에시드(dichloroacetic acid; DCAA), 트리클로로아세틱에시드(trichloroacetic acid; TCAA) 등은 먹는 물의 염소소독 시 발생되는 주요한 소독부산물이다. 이 중 클로로포름과 DCAA는 발암물질로 분류되어 있어 이에 대한 분포특성연구는 서울시의 먹는 물의 안전성을 판단하기 위해 중요하다. 2002~2004년의 3년 동안 배급 수 계통별로 소독부산물을 분석하였다. 이 중 총트리할로메탄(total trihalomethanes; THMs)의 평균 농도가 정수장에서 생산된 물에서는 0.015 mg/L, 직접 각 가정으로 공급되는 직수에서는 0.019 mg/L, 물탱크를 경유해 각 가정으로 공급되는 물탱크 수에서는 0.023 mg/L로 체류시간이 증가함에 따라 그의 농도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 수온의 영향으로 인해 여름철에 비교적 높은 농도로 검출되었다. THMs 이외의 다른 소독부산물들도 역시 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 검출된 소독부산물의 양은 환경부 먹는물 수질기준의 1/4~1/6 정도의 낮은 수준이기 때문에 서울시 수돗물은 소독부산물에 있어 항상 안전한 것으로 나타났다.

The characteristics of disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation at 28 water treatment plants in Korea were investigated. Investigated species of DBPs were trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) and chloral hydrate (CH). The maximum concentration of THMs was $84.1{\mu}g/L$, minimum and the averages were $6.9{\mu}g/L$ and $27.8{\mu}g/L$, respectively; the maximum concentration of $HAA_5$ was $90.8{\mu}g/L$, minimum and the averages were $3.8{\mu}g/L$ and $26.7{\mu}g/L$, respectively; while the maximum concentration of CH was $29.5{\mu}g/L$, minimum and the averages were $0.5{\mu}g/L$ and $7.4{\mu}g/L$, respectively. On the other hand, DBPs levels during summer months, when the water temperature was near $25^{\circ}C$, were nearly twice as great as DBPs levels during the winter season. The ratio of $THMs/HAA_5$ was 1.07, and $HAA_5$ and THMs were the dominant species of DBPS in the Kum-Sumjin river and Nakdong river, respectivley.

Chlorine disinfection has been used in drinking water supply to disinfect the water-borne microbial disease which may cause to serious human disease. it is still the least costly, relatively easy to use, Chlorination is the primary means to disinfect portable water supplies and control bacterial growth in the distribution system. However, chlorine reacts with natural organic matter(NOM), that presents in nearly all water sources, and then produces disinfection by-products(DBPs), that have adverse health effects. Although the existent DBPs have been reported in drinking water supplies, it is not feasible to predict the levels of the various DBPs due to the complex chemistry reaction involved. 1. The objectives of this study is to investigate seasonal variation difference concentration of DBPs in the plant to tap water. The average concentration of THMs was 20.04 ${\mu}g/{\ell}$ , HAAs 8-15 ${\mu}g/{\ell}$ , HANs 2-4.5 ${\mu}g/{\ell}$ respectively. 2. Distant variation of DBPs furmation by the distance is that THMs concentration increased by 17% at 2km point from the plant and by 28% at 7km and HAAs, HANs also increase each by 16%, 32% at 2 km from the plant and 35%, 56% at 7 km. DBPs increase in water supply pipe continually, 3. The seasonal occurrence of BBPs is that in May and August DBPs concentration is very higher than in march, in May DBPs concentration is highest. The temperature is main factor of DBPs formation, precursor also. 4. Precursor which was accumulated for winter flowed into the raw water by flooding in spring and summer and produced DBPs. 5. Therefore for the supply of secure drinking water, it is required to protect precursor of flowing into raw water and to add to BCAA and DBAA to drinking water standards.

본 연구에서는 두 가지 기원의 표준 휴믹물질 혼합 시료와 Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA)을 사용하여 광분해로 인한 용존 유기물질의 스펙트럼 특성 변화와 이에 따른 소독 부산물 생성능의 변화를 조사하였다. 혼합시료의 염소소독부산물 발생잠재력(DBPFP)은 specific UV absorbance (SUVA) 값에 비례하여 증가하였다. 7일간 광분해 후 혼합시료의 SUVA 값은 모두 감소하였다. 그러나 동일 시료에서 DBPFP 값은 SUVA 감소폭보다 적었다. 비록 두 변수 사이에 직선성은 유지되었으나 같은 SUVA 범위 내에서의 DBPFP 값은 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이 결과는 광분해로 인해 염소소독부산물 전구체 역할을 하는 비방향족 물질이 생성될 수 있음을 시사하였다. SRFA 시료에 대해 4일과 13일 광분해하여 각각 저분자와 고분자 부분에서의 DBPFP 값을 비교한 결과 광분해 후 유기탄소 당 염소소독부산물 발생량 변화양상은 염소소독부산물 종류에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 유기탄소 당 trihalomethenes (THMs) 발생은 광분해 후 고분자 부분에서 더 높았으나 haloacetic acids(HAAs)의 경우 고분자와 저분자 부분 사이의 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 광분해 시간에 따른 유기탄소 당 DBPFP 값 변화 패턴도 용존 유기물 분자량에 따라 다르게 나타났다. THMs의 경우 고분자 부분에서는 광분해 시간에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 저분자에서는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 반면 HAAs은 고분자에서 지속적인 감소 경향을, 저분자 부분에서는 증가 후 다시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구결과 수중 유기물질은 전반적으로 광분해에 따라 소독부산물 생성능이 초기에 오히려 증가할 수 있으며 광분해 시간이 충분히 지속된 후에야 감소함을 보여주었다.

상수원수의 특성 변화와 갈수기 조류 발생으로 인한 원수 pH 상승 시기에 이산화탄소($CO_2$)를 주입하여 원수 pH를 조정함으로써 혼화·응집지의 응집 효율을 향상시켜 생산 정수 중의 잔류알루미늄, 탁도, 입자수 등의 농도를 낮추는 방법을 조사하고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 원수 pH 8.0 이상이며 밤 낮의 pH 변화가 크지 않은 2월, 3월, 4월, 12월 중에 이산화탄소 주입 전 후의 정수 수질 변화를 고찰하였으며, 정수처리 공정수를 대상으로 정수 수질평가와 밀접한 관련이 있는 알루미늄, 탁도, 입자수, TOC, THMs, 2-MIB, geosmin 등의 농도 변화를 조사하였다. 조사결과, 혼화 응집지의 응집 효율 향상으로 입자수, 탁도, 알루미늄과 같은 입자성 물질과 무기물질은 감소하였으며 서울시 정수 목표수질값인 입자수 30개/mL 이하, 탁도 0.05 NTU 이하, 알루미늄 0.02 mg/L 이하의 양호한 정수 수질을 유지하기 위해서는 원수 pH 상승시기 이산화탄소를 주입하여 착수정원수 pH를 7.4 이하로 유지해야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 THMs, CH, HAAs, HANs 등 소독부산물과 이취미 유발물질인 2-MIB, geosmin 농도는 원수 pH 변화와 무관함을 알 수 있었으며, 특히 이취미 유발물질인 2-MIB, geosmin는 pH 변화보다는 원수 중의 2-MIB, geosmin 농도가 정수 중의 농도 결정에 주요한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
