정수처리공정별 THMs 현황과 영향인자와의 상관성 등 생성특성을 분석하고 저감할 수 있는 운영방안을 연구하였다. M정수장의 처리공정은 전염소-응집-침전-여과-오존-활성탄-후염소로 구성되어 있다. 공정별 THMs 농도는 응집침전여과의 기본공정에서 92~93%가 생성되어 전염소처리공정이 주된 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. THMs 생성과 원수수온, $KMnO_4$소비량의 결정계수는 0.80, 0.72로 높게 나타났으며 정수장에서는 원수수온과 $KMnO_4$소비량으로 생성농도를 예측하는 것이 효율적이라 판단된다. 중염소처리를 한 경우 정수 THMs이 전염소처리의 48% 수준으로 나타나, 염소 주입지점만 변경하는 중염소 처리가 THMs 저감에 유용한 방식으로 판단된다. 전구물질 제거를 위한 분말 활성탄 실험에서는 전염소 앞단에 주입하는 경우에 THMs 생성이 줄었다. 생성된 THMs 제거에는 에어스트리핑 방법이 효과가 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of prechlorination and algae growth on THMs generation. The sample water obtained from Paldang Dam which is a main source of raw water for the Seoul metropolitan area. THMs concentration in the sample water was investigated in water treatment process prechlorifiation, chemical coagulation, and sand filtration. And also, THMs concentration were analyzed in the water which cultured algae in laboratory. The results were as follows 1. The THMs concentration produced by prechlorination unit process were increased in control (not purified) but decreased in process of purification. 2. The THMs concertration can reduce by increasing the number of cleaning filters. 3. The main precursor in raw water for the THMs generation was supplied by algae growth. So as to reduce the THMs concentration in water supplying system, it is the best method to manage algae growth in water body of Paldang reservoir.

This study was conducted to survey trihalomethane(THMs) levels in finished water of J water treatment plant and examine its reduction by powder activated carbon(PAC) treatment. Samples were collected weekly based and head-space technique was employed to determine THMs levels by G.C-ECD. THMs levels in finished waters were highest in August and showed close relationship with water temperature. All the samples satisfied the drinking water limit(100 ${\mu}$g/l) for THMs. The individual formation rates of THMs were 64.8% for CHCl$_3$, 28.4% for CHCl$_2$BR, 6.5% for CHClBr$_2$ and 0.3% for CHBr$_3$, respectively and showed little monthly difference. The reduction efficiency of THMs formation by PAC treatment was 67% during July and August. Bromine substituents were more efficiently reduced than CHCl$_3$ by PAC.

This study was performed to investigate THMs formation by chloramination as a secondary disinfection in drinking water distribution system. As the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio increased from 1:1 to 4:1, the THMs concentration had actually no change in the breakpoint curve of pH 6, 7. At pH 8, THMs level was not augmented at between 1:1 and 5:1. In the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio of more than 5:1 and 6:1 respectively, THMs level was raised. Only the chloroform of THMs was insignificantly detected by both preformed chloramine and preammoniation applications, which was probably attributed to the stoichiometrically unstable equilibrium in the preparation of chloramine, whereas $CHCl_3$, $CHCl_2Br$ and $CHClBr_2$ of THMs were found in the application of free chlorine. However it turned out that the THMs levels by chloramine was incomparably inferior to that of free chlorine.

Evaluated were household THMs exposure associated with the use of municipal tap water treated with chlorine and with ozone-chlorine. The current study measured the THMs concentrations in the tap water and indoor and outdoor air in the two types of household, along with an estimation of THMs exposure from water ingestion, showering, and the inhalation of indoor air. Chloroform was the most abundant THMs in all three media, yet no bromoform was detected in any sample. Contrary to previous findings, the fall water THMs concentrations exhibited no significant difference between the chlorine and ozone-chlorine treated water. However, the spring median chloroform concentration in the tap water treated with chlorine (17.6 ppb) was 1.3 times higher than that in the tap water treated with ozone-chlorine (13.4 ppb). It is suggested that the effects of the water parameters should be considered when evaluating the advantage of ozone-chlorine disinfection for THMs formation over chlorine disinfection. The indoor air THMs concentration trend was also consistent with the water concentration trend, yet the outdoor air THMs concentrations did not differ significantly between the two types of household. The indoor to outdoor air concentration ratios were comparable with previous studies. The THMs exposure estimates from water ingestion, showering, and the inhalation of indoor air suggested that, for the residents living in the surveyed households, their exposure to THMs in the home was mostly associated with their household water use, rather than the indoor air. The THMs exposure estimates from tap water ingestion were similar to those from showering.

정수처리과정 중 염소처리로 발생되는 소독부산물(DBPs) 발생현황을 파악하고 저감방안을 제시하기 위해 대표적인 염소소독부산물인 트리할로메탄(THMs)의 공정별 발생현황을 조사하였다. 또한, 계절별 수질별 영향인자와의 상관관계를 분석하고, 공정에서 전 염소 다단투입을 통하여 THMs 생성현황을 파악하고, 원수 수질에 따라 THMs을 저감시킬 수 있는 최적의 운영방안을 고찰하고자 하였다. Y 정수센터는 취수장과 착수정간의 도수시간이 평균 10시간이 소요되어 취수장에서 전염소 처리 시 염소와 THMs 전구물질간의 충분한 반응시간을 제공함으로써, THMs 발생을 억제하는데 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서, 도수관로상의 THMs 생성을 억제하고 염소 과잉투입을 방지하기 위하여 전염소를 취수장과 착수정에 동시에 투입하여 정수중 THMs 발생을 저감시키고자 하였다. 계절별 정수의 THMs 발생량은 저수온기(겨울철)에 0.015 mg/L 이하로 적게 생성되었고, 고수온기(여름철)에는 평균 0.021 mg/L 이상 생성되어 수온상승에 따라 증가하였다. 공정별 THMs 발생량은 전염소 처리 후 착수정 원수에서 평균 0.013 mg/L, 응집/침전/여과 공정에서 0.014 mg/L, 후염소 처리 후 정수에서 평균 0.016 mg/L로 정수처리공정 시 착수정원수에서 대부분의 THMs이 발생하였다. 정수처리 공정에서 트리할로메탄생성능(THMFP)은 응집 침전공정 후 42.7%가 제거되었고, 여과공정 후 약 50%가 제거되어 공정에서 TOC 제거율과 비슷한 추세를 보였다. 전염소 다단투입은 취수장과 착수정에 염소를 분할하여 주입함으로써 유기물질과 염소와의 접촉시간(T) 및 농도(C)를 감소시키고, 염소주입량을 최적화하여 도수관로에서 생성되는 THMs을 억제시키고 염소사용량을 저감시킬 수 있었다. 수온이 높은 하절기에 전염소 다단 투입을 실시한 결과, 정수에서 THMs 농도는 평균 0.013 mg/L이 생성되어 취수장 단독 전염소 처리 시기에 발생된 정수 THMs 농도 대비 약 50%를 저감시킬 수 있었다.

소독부산물의 일종인 트리할로메탄류(THMs)는 정수처리 공정에서 소독제로 사용되는 염소와 수중에 잔존하는 유기물질이 반응하여 생성된다. 일반적으로 염소계 및 브롬계 THMs는 일반적인 수돗물에서 검출되기 때문에 잘 알려져 있으나, 요오드계 THMs (I-THMs)의 경우는 수중에 요오드 이온이 존재할 때 생성된다. I-THMs는 약품취를 유발하며, 또한 염소계나 브롬계 THMs에 비해 인체독성이 더 강한 것으로 알려져 있다. 현재 I-THMs 분석을 위한 공인된 분석법은 없는 실정이다. 10종의 THMs 분석을 위해 headspace 전처리장치와 GC/ECD를 이용하여 최적화된 분석법을 개발하였으며, 개발된 분석법에 의한 검출한계(LOD)와 정량한계(LOQ)는 각각 12 ng/L~56 ng/L 및 38 ng/L~178 ng/L로 나타났다. 강물, 해수 및 하수처리장 최종방류수의 matrix 영향을 평가하였으며, 본 연구에서 개발된 분석법은 별도의 전처리 과정이 필요치 않아 간편하고 빠르며 자동화된 방법으로 수중에 미량으로 함유된 I-THMs 분석에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Trihalomethane(THMs) levels in drinking tap water, indoor swimming pool water and industrial effluent in Kunsan area were surveyed in this study. During experimental period, the monthly averages of THMs in drinking tap water from Keumkang wide-area supply ranged from 15$\mu\textrm{g}$/ι/to 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$ showing the highest level in summer. 3 indoor swimming pools showed the monthly average levels of THMs formation ranging from 8$\mu\textrm{g}$/ι/to 20$\mu\textrm{g}$/ι and the pool under public management seemed to maintain its water quality more stable than those under private management THMs concentrations in the effluents. discharged from 10 manufacturing companies, ranged from N.D. to 95$\mu\textrm{g}$/ι and it was estimated that the overall THMs level discharged front those manufacturing companies is not high, reflecting the traces recorded for most effluents. The composition ratios of individual THMs for industrial effluents showed a difference from those for drinking water and swimming pool water, along with their wide variations according to the company and relatively high composition ratios of Br substituents.

Objectives: In an effort to examine the distribution of THMs (Trihalomethane) generated from chlorine disinfection by the drinking water treatment plants located on the east coast region of Gangwon-do, this study surveyed the distribution and concentrations of each component of THMs twice per month for 5 years from 2008 to 2012. Fluctuation pattern in the seasonal generation amount was identified. In addition, the correlation between the concentration of organic substances in water and THMs was assessed, along with stability of purified water quality supplied by the water treatment plants on the east coast by analyzing the composition ratio of each component that constitutes THMs and the detection frequency. Method: The research was done on purified water supplied by 29 water treatment plants in 7 cities and counties (Goseong-gun, Sokcho-si, Yangyang-gun, Gangneung-si, Donghae-si, Samcheok-si, Taebaek-si) located in Gangwon-do on the east coast. Water samples were collected twice a month from 2008 to 2012 and were investigate for chloroform, bromodichloromethane (BDCM), dibromochloromethane (DBCM), and bromoform, based on analysis through Purge-Trap (Tekmar 3000) devices using FID-attached GC (HP 6890, Hewlett Packard). Result: THMs concentration detected at Gangneung-si was 0.0086mg/L, Goseong-gun 0.0019mg/L, Donghae-si 0.0099 mg/L, Samcheok-si 0.0016 mg/L, Sokcho-si 0.0057 mg/L, Yangyang-gun 0.0027 mg/L and Taebaek-si 0.0038 mg/L. As the THMs composition rate, chloroform constitutes 51.4% followed bybromodichloromethane 22.3%, bromoform 15.2% and dibromochloromethane 11.1% respectively. Conclusion: Throughout the entire THMs survey areas and period, the maximum concentration was 0.072mg/L, which did not exceed the water quality standards (0.1 mg/L), and the overall average concentration was very low at 0.0044 mg/L.

상수처리시 토양현탁액과 같은 유기물이 있을 때 산화제, 응집제 및 흡착제의 종류를 달리하고 처리방법을 변경시켰을 때 THMs 및 유기물의 제거정도를 조사하였다. 산화제로 처리된 $ClO_2$가 다른 산화제인 $Cl_2,\;NH_2Cl,\;KMnO_2$ 및 $O_3$ 보다 THMs 생성억제와 THMs의 전구물질인 유기물을 제거시키는데 가장 효율적이었다. 산화제$(Cl_2,\;NH_2Cl,\;KMnO_4,\;ClO_2,\;O_3)$를 응집 이후에 처리하였을 때 유기물의 양은 거의 변화가 없었으나 THMs의 생성량은 응집 이전 처리보다 약 $36.7{\sim}8.2%$ 정도 감소하였다. 수중 유기물을 응집 제거시키기 위하여 응집제로 alum과 ferric sulfate를 처리하였을 때 응집 효율은 유기물의 분자량 분포에 따라 상이하게 나타났다. THMs 제거 및 생성 억제를 위한 활성탄의 처리는 여과 이후의 처리가 산화제 처리 이전의 활성탄 처리보다 효과적이었다.
