Mutagen X (MX) exists in our drinking water as the bi-products of chlorine disinfection. Being one of the most potent mutagen, it attracted much attention from many researchers. MX and its analogs are tested and modeled by quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) methods. As a result, factors affecting this class of compounds have been found to be steric and electrostatic effects. We tried to collect all the data available from the literature. The quantitative structure-activity relationship of a set of 29 MX was analyzed using Molecular Field Analysis (MFA) and Receptor Surface Analysis (RSA). The best models gave $q^{2}=0.918,\;r^{2}=0.949$ for MFA and $q^{2}=0.893,\;r^{2}=0.954$ for RSA. The models indicate that an electronegative group at C6 position of the furanone ring increases mutagenicity.

It is necessary to implement the management plan for the production of safe and high quality drinking water from lake Paldang. To set up the plan, the water quality items such as BOD, T-P, SS and coliform were monitored for ten years, 1997~2006, and the influence of raw water quality on the drinking water treatment process and the treated water quality was also evaluated from 2004 to 2006. In conclusion, water quality items such as turbidity(SS), T-P(eutrophication), pathogens(fecal coliforms, enterovirus, reovirus, giardia, cryptosporidium), DOC(precursor of disinfection by-products), and micro-pollutants(phthalates, VOCs, heavy metals) are should be managed to get safe and high quality drinking water from lake Paldang.

한강과 낙동강에서 채취한 원수에 염소소독제인 hypochlorite를 $10{\mu}g/mL$의 농도로 투여한 후 1시간 ~ 14일까지 TOC (total organic carbon), 잔류염소량 및 14종의 염소소독부산물 생성율을 조사하였다. 그 결과 TOC 및 탁도는 큰 차이가 없었으며 잔류염소량은 한강에서 투여 후 1시간 경과 시 $6{\mu}g/mL$ 이상에서 14일째에 $1.23{\mu}g/mL$으로 감소한 반면 낙동강의 경우 3일 이후 거의 존재하지 않았다. 7일 후 발생한 총 소독부산물의 농도는 한강의 경우 101.3 ng/mL (789.6 nM)이며 이 중 THMs (trihalomethanes)가 68%로 가장 큰 비중을 차지하였다. 그 외에 HAAs (haloacetic acids, 19%), chloral hydrate(10%)가 검출되었으며, 낙동강의 경우 총 소독부산물의 농도가 98.4 ng/mL (678.6 nM)이며 이 중 HAAs가 57%로 가장 큰 비중을 차지하였다. 그 외에 THMs (34%), HANs (haloacetonitriles, 5%) 및 chloropicrin등 질소화합물의 농도가 증가하였다. 이는 낙동강의 경우 한강에 비해 상대적으로 많이 포함된 암모니아성 질소가 소독제인 염소와 반응하여 클로라민을 생성함으로써 염소에 의한 소독효과와 클로라민에 의한 소독효과를 함께 나타내기 때문인 것으로 사료되며 전체적인 소독부산물들의 생성비율 경향을 살펴보면 소독제의 종류에 따라 소독부산물의 생성패턴에 차이가 있으나 산성도가 큰 HAAs의 초기 생성농도가 높고 점차 THMs의 생성속도가 증가하였다.

조류는 호소의 부영양화 현상을 발생시킬 뿐 아니라 전반적인 정수처리공정에 많은 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 그 중에서도 조류 세포와 조류유래 유기물질(Algogenic Organic Matter; AOM)은 휴믹물질처럼 염소 소독 시 유해성 물질인 소독부산물질(Disinfection By-Products; DBPs)을 형성하는 전구물질이다. 본 연구는 전 염소처리와 응집공정에 의한 조류유래 유기물질의 제거특성 변화를 확인하였으며, 또한 부영양화된 호소수 처리 공정으로 철(III)을 이용한 고도응집공정과 UV산화 공정의 적용성을 평가하였다. 전 염소처리공정은 조류제거에는 효과적이지만 수중의 DOC(Dissoluble Organic Carbon)농도와 TMHs(Trihalomethanes) 생성량을 증가시켰다. 응집실험에서는 응집 반응 pH가 조류유래 유기물질과 소독부산물질 제거에 있어 중요한 인자로 작용하였으며, 중성 pH에서 보다 낮은 반응 pH 5에서 DOC, THMs 제거율이 각각 50%와 28% 향상되었다 조류유래 유기물질과 THMs제거에 있어 UV 산화 공정을 적용한 결과, $UV/H_2O_2/Fe^{3+}$ 공정이 가장 효과적이었지만, 반응 pH를 조정한 고도응집공정보다는 효과적이지 않았다.

THM 생성은 염소접촉 후 4시간까지 선형적인 증가추세를 보이며, 많은 양의 THM이 생성되는 것으로 나타났으며, 반응 30분만에 168시간 동안 생성된 양의 총 $25\sim43%$의 비율을 차지하였다. 또한, 수중의 브롬이온 농도에 따른 THM 생성특성 조사에서 유기성 전구물질인 humic acid의 농도는 일정하고, 브롬이온의 농도만 $0\sim50{\mu}g/L$까지 변화시켜 염소처리하였을 경우에는 생성되는 총 THM의 농도는 접촉시간 별로 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 수온변화에 따른 THM 생성특성 조사에서 수온이 낮은 $4^{\circ}C$일 때는 PF(parabolic formation) phase로 접어들어서도 THM 생성량이 계속적으로 증가하는 양상을 나타내었으며, $20^{\circ}C$와 $35^{\circ}C$의 경우에는 IF(instantaneous formation) phase까지 급격한 증가추세를 보인 후 PF phase에 도달하여서는 그 증가추세가 둔화되는 것으로 나타났다. pH 변화에 따른 THM 생성특성 조사에서 pH가 5일 경우 IF phase까지 증가추세를 보인 후, PF phase로 접어들어서도 계속적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났지만 pH가 7과 pH가 9의 경우에는 IF phase까지 급격한 증가추세를 보인 후 PF phase에 도달하여서는 그 증가 경향이 아주 둔화되는 것을 볼 수 있으며, 이런 현상은 pH가 9일 경우에는 더욱 두드러지게 나타났다.

Several drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) produce the bottled tap waters (BTWs) as pilot production and provide them for noncommercial use. In 2008, acetaldehyde and chloral hydrate were detected in some BTWs and the public worry over the safety of the water. In this study, the BTWs produced from 7 DWTPs were tested for 13 chemicals including disinfection byproducts (DBPs). The level of four trihalomethanes (THMs) were increased up to 15 days. The average concentration of them was 0.0075 mg/L at the time of bottling and it was increased to 0.0214 mg/L after 15 days. The average acetaldehyde concentration was 0.0406 mg/L at the time of bottling but it was went up to 0.2251 mg/L after 11 days and then decreased. Although the initial concentrations of DBPs were below the drinking water standard, we also traced them at different storage conditions. Temperature affected the formations of THMs and acetaldehyde concentrations significantly. While the average concentration of THMs ranged from 0.0113 to 0.0182 mg/L at $25^{\circ}C$, it was increased to 0.0132 ~ 0.0256 mg/L at $50^{\circ}C$. In case of acetaldehyde, concentration ranged from 0.0901 to 0.2251 mg/L at $25^{\circ}C$, it was increased to 0.3394 ~ 1.0591 mg/L at $50^{\circ}C$. Throughout the tests with 7 BTWs samples, none of the chemicals was exceeded the drinking water standard of Korea. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the exposure of BTWs to sunlight or high temperature during distribution and storage.

Dispersion of coagulant should be completed in a fraction of a second before the metal hydroxide precipitate has form. For the reason so-called pump diffusion flash mixing (PDFM) have been proposed, and PDFM is one of reasonable methods to quickly disperse the hydrolyzing metal salts. In this study, therefore, we attempt to understand the difference of removal characteristics of natural organic matter (NOM) between pump diffusion flash mixing (PDFM) and conventional rapid mixing (CRM) for coagulation in a water treatment system, and to enhance the removal of NOM through the improved mixing process. DOC and turbidity removal by PDFM higher than those by CRM, while SUVA value of water treated by PDFM was high as compared with that by CRM. Hydrophilic NOM was more effectively removed by PDFM than CRM, since charge neutralization effect increased by quick dispersion of coagulant. The DBP formation potentials due to NOM was effectively reduced by the improved mixing (i.e., PDFM) for coagulation and could be controlled through decrease in concentration of precursor rather than reduction of activity with disinfectant.

Recently, the interest in NDMA(N-nitrosodimethylamine) has increased due to its recognition as a pollutant by Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy and California Department of Health Sciences. It is, in fact, one of the DBPs(Disinfection By-products) which appears due to chlorination and is reported to be fatal if exposed continuously to human body. Due to uncertainty in mechanism to remove it, its treatment is not yet carried out. In this experiment, treatment of biological NDMA is carried out by letting it adsorbed on Granular Sludge and then filtering the medium through MF(Microfiltration) and UF(Ultrafiltration) membranes. Granular Sludge is adapted to aerobic and anaerobic conditions for 7 days and the experimental conditions are MLSS of 8000mg/L, COD of 250mg/L, TN of 12.5mg/L, and TP of 2.5mg/L. Several batch tests were carried out and samples were collected with the interval of 1 hour. Samples were measured by LSC(Liquid scintillation counter) after filtering by MF and UF. In batch test with granular sludge the permeate concentrations(removal efficiencies) of NDMA by MF and UF were 71.7ng/L(32.0%) and 62.0ng/L(43.7%) at aerobic state, and 52.0ng/L(49.2%) and 47.6ng/L(58.9%) at anaerobic state, respectively. Hence, UF membrane showed about 10% more removal efficiency than MF and removal efficiency at anaerobic condition was 15% more than that at aerobic condition.

Haloacetonitriles (HANs) are nitrogenous disinfection by-products (DBPs) that have been reported to have a higher toxicity than the other groups of DBPs. The adsorption process is mostly used to remove HANs in aqueous solutions. Functionalized composite materials tend to be effective adsorbents due to their hydrophobicity and specific adsorptive mechanism. In this study, the removal of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) from tap water by adsorption on thiol-functionalized mesoporous composites made from natural rubber (NR) and hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS-SH) was investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that the thiol group of NR/HMS was covered with NR molecules. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated an expansion of the hexagonal unit cell. Adsorption kinetic and isotherm models were used to determine the adsorption mechanisms and the experiments revealed that NR/HMS-SH had a higher DCAN adsorption capacity than powered activated carbon (PAC). NR/HMS-SH adsorption reached equilibrium after 12 hours and its adsorption kinetics fit well with a pseudo-second-order model. A linear model was found to fit well with the DCAN adsorption isotherm at a low concentration level.
