1,4-Dioxane is an EPA priority pollutant often found in contaminated ground waters and industrial effluents. Conventional water treatment techniques are limited to decompose this compound effectively. Therefore, an advanced oxidation process system (AOP) was used for the degradation of 1,4-dioxane. This research investigates the effect of adding oxidants, such as ozone, air, and $H_2O_2$ during the UV irradiation of 1,4-dioxane solution. In order to analyze 1,4-dioxane, a modified 8270 method, which is an improved method of U.S EPA 8720, was used. Degradation efficiencies of 1,4-dioxane by only UV irradiation at various temperatures were not significant. However, The addition of oxidants and air bubbling in the UV irradiation system for 1,4-dioxane decomposition showed the higher 1,4-dioxane degradation rate. And, during AOP treatment the tendency of TOC changes was similar to that of 1,4-dioxane decomposition rate.

The pH efforts on the removal of 1,4-dioxane and the biodegradobility enhancement of dioxane contaminated water were investigated using $O_3/H_2O_2$ baled advanced oxidation process. Experiments were conducted using a bubble column reactor under different initial pH. The $O_3/H_2O_2$ process effectively converted 1,4-dioxane to more biodegradable intermediates which had a maximum $BOD_5$ enhancement at pH 11 within the experimental range, precisely, when the initial pH increased, $BOD_5$ enhanced. However, in case of removal efficiencies of 1,4-dioxane during $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation the optimum condition was shown at pH 9 compared with pH 6 and 11. TOC and COD values were not largely changed for all reaction time. From the results of 1,4-dioxane removal efficiency, TOC, COD, and $BOD_5$ enhancement with reaction time, it was surely observed that 1,4-dioxane was just converted to biodegradable materials, not completely oxidized to carbon dioxide.

본 연구에서는 폴리에스테르 중합폐수의 배출 원수에 약 600 mg/L의 고농도로 존재하는 1,4-dioxane을 5 mg/L 이하까지 (2011년 규제 시행) 제거할 수 있는 고급산화공정의 현장 적용 기술을 개발하고자 구미지역 폴리에스테르 제조회사 중 K사의 폐수처리 시설을 선정하여 연구를 하였다. 공기의 공급 하에 광펜톤산화반응을 K사에 설치된 pilot에서 운전하였다. 막대형 산기관을 통해 공기를 공급하면서 10개의 UV-C 램프(240 ${\mu}W/cm^2$)의 조사 하에 과산화수소(2,800 ppm)와 철염(1,400 ppm)을 주입하였을 때 1,4-dioxane의 제거 효율이 2시간 만에 90%까지 나타나는 결과를 도출할 수 있었다. 그러나 처리수의 1,4-dioxane 농도는 약 60 mg/L으로 여전히 높았다. 그리하여 후속 처리로 bench-scale의 활성슬러지공정(V=8.9 L)을 이용하여 광펜톤산화 처리수 내의 1,4-dioxane 제거 가능성을 평가하였다. 그 결과로서 활성슬러지공정의 유출수내의 1,4-dioxane의 농도는 약 2~3 mg/L까지 저감되었으며 이를 통해, 광펜톤산화공정과 활성슬러지공정의 연계처리를 통해 1,4-dioxane 배출 허용기준(5 mg/L, 2011년)에 부합될 수 있는 효과적인 처리공정임을 입증하였다.

1, 4-dioxane is a recalcitrant pollutant found in contaminated ground waters and industrial effluents. Conventional water treatment techniques are limited to treat this compound effectively. In this study, $O_3$／$H_2O_2$ oxidation process was used to eliminate 1, 4-dioxane in water and to enhance the biodegradability. Several factors affecting biodegradability enhancement were investigated. The relationship between initial oxidation rate of 1 A-dioxane and BOD enhancement rate has been determined, a kinetic model has been proposed. $H_2O_2$ concentration and pH had a proportional relation with biodegradability of 1, 4-dioxane, but in case of ozone, there was no relationship with biodegradability. 1, 4-Dioxane removal efficiencies had good agreement with the biodegradability.

본 연구는 1,4-dioxane을 함유한 폐수를 $O_3/H_2O_2$ 고급산화공정에서 1,4-dioxane의 제거율 및 생물학적분해 가능성을 실험하였다. 산화공정에 사용한 반응기는 bubble column 형태이며, 초기 pH 및 과산화수소의 초기농도를 달리하여 14-dioxane의 제거특성을 실험하였다. $H_2O_2$의 초기농도는 $40{\sim}120\;mg/L$로 조절하였으며, 초기 pH는 6과 9로 조절하여 산화반응에 의한 1,4-dioxane의 제거율 및 $BOD_5$, TOC 등을 분석하였다. 실험 결과 동일한 초기 pH에서 $H_2O_2$의 초기농도가 높을수록 1,4-dioxane의 제거율은 증가하였다. 오존의 소비량과 과산화수소의 초기농도 사이에는 직선적인 제거율을 나타내었으며, 이러한 이유는 높은 초기 $H_2O_2$ 농도에서 hydroxyl radical($OH{\cdot}$) 및 hydroperoxy ions(${HO_2}^-$)의 생성을 가속화 시킨 것에 기인한다고 판단되었다. $O_3/H_2O_2$ 고급산화공정에서 과산화수소의 초기농도는 1,4-dioxane의 제거와 생물학적 분해가능성을 높이는 것으로 관찰되었다.

1,4-Dioxane is used as a solvent for lacquers, paints, varnish removers, dye baths and printing compositions. And it is also used for detergent preparations, cosmetics, deodorants and fumigants. A method is described for the determination of 1,4-dioxane in water samples by GC/MS. The extraction recoveries were studied for some solvents and solvent volume ratio were investigated using r-butyl methyl ether (MTBE). Optimum condition was obtained by the liquid-liquid extraction using the 10 mL of MTBE for 10 mL of water. Method detection limit of 1,4-dioxane in the 20 mL of water samples was 0.05 ng/mL. It could be determined in the range of 0.24∼240 ng/mL in treated water, and in the range of 0.69∼81.9 ng/mL in raw water, respectively. Risk assessments with 1,4-dioxane exposure by drinking water ingestion were carried out. Based on the results of analysis, chronic daily intake of 1,4-dioxane was 2.22${\times}$10$\^$-4/ mg/kg/day and excess cancer risk was calcu-lated to be 2.44${\times}$10$\^$-6/.

The removal of 1,4-dioxane and the biodegradability enhancement of dioxane contaminated water was investigated using $O_3-H_2O_2$ based advanced oxidation process. Experiments were conducted using a bubble column reactor under different dioxane and peroxide concentrations as well as PH. The $O_3-H_2O_2$ process effectively converted dioxane to more biodegradable intermediates and increased the biodegradability and average oxidation state of dioxane in the solution.

Isolation of pollutant-degrading bacteria is important in bioaugmentation, one of the methods for biological degradation of environmental contaminants. We focused on the magnetic activated sludge (MAS) process as a culture method that efficiently concentrates degrading bacteria, and cultured activated sludge with 1,4-dioxane as a model pollutant. After 860 days of operation, MLVSS, which indicates the amount of sludge, increased from 390 mg/L to 10,000 mg/L, and the removal rate of organic matter including 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and glucose in the artificial wastewater reached up to 97%. Based on these results, the MAS process was successfully used to acclimate activated sludge with 1,4-dioxane. Bacterial flora analysis in the MAS showed that bacteria of the genus Pseudonocardia, already reported as 1,4-dioxane degrading bacteria, play an important role in the degradation of this pollutant. The MAS process is a suitable culture method for acclimation of environmental pollutants, and the findings indicate that it can be used as an enrichment unit for pollutant-degrading bacteria.
