오존으로 상수처리시 생성되는 소독부산물로써 독성이 강한 브롬산염을 철, 구리, 은 첨착활성탄을 이용하여 제거할 목적으로 회분식과 연속식으로 실험하였다. 활성탄 주입량별 브롬산염 제거 실험에서 각각의 활성탄을 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 g씩 주입하여 240분 반응시킨 결과 브롬산염의 제거량은 주입량에 비례하였다. 그리고 산 처리한 활성탄을 사용할 때에는 브롬산염 제거 효율이 약 20%정도 증대되었다. 철, 구리, 은 첨착활성탄은 일반 활성탄보다 약 $30{sim}50%$ 정도 제거 효율이 좋았으며 특히 철 첨착활성탄은 브롬산염을 약 92%제거하였다. 일반 활성탄을 이용하여 브롬산염을 제거하였을 경우 약 $0.02{sim}0.45mg;{BrO_3}^-/g$ AC이였지만 철, 구리, 은 첨착활성탄은 약 $0.9{sim}1.5mg;{BrO_3}^-/g$이었다. 연속식 칼럼 반응에서 브롬산염 유입량을 $15.6{sim}46.8mL/min$으로 변화시켜 EBCT를 1, 2, 3 분으로 실험한 결과 96, 180, 252 시간에서 파과 현상을 보였다.
The purpose of this research is to remove the bromate that is a disinfection by-poduct of water purification by ozone. I achieved a high rate of removal with iron, copper, or silver impregnated activated carbon by using both the adsorbing power of granular activated carbon and the oxidizing power of metal ions as deoxidizing agents. In the removal test of bromate with the quantity of activated carbon input I injected each activated carbon by 0.1, 0.3, 0.1, and 1.0 g and let them react for 240 minutes. I found the quantity of removed bromate was in proportion to the amount of input. The removal rate of bromate increased about 20% when I used acid treated activated carbon. The metal impregnated activated carbon had a higher removal rate of bromate than that of general activated carbon by about $30{sim}50%$. Iron impregnated activated carbon showed a 92% removal rate of bromate. Iron, copper, or silver impregnated activated carbon removed about $0.9{sim}1.5mg;{BrO_3}^-/g$ while general activated carbon removed about $0.02{sim}0.45mg;{BrO_3}^-/g$. In the continuous column reaction, there were breakthrough phenomena at 96, 180, and 252 hours when I tested EBCT by 1, 2 and 3 minutes while I was changing the flux rate of bromate from 15.6 to 46.8 mL/min.
