Oxidation of erythromycin, sulfamethazine and sulfathiazole by ozone was experimentally investigated to see the effects of background water quality such as ultrapure water, humic acid and biologically treated wastewater and water temperature on the removal rate, consequently to provide design information when the ozone treatment process is adopted. Initial concentration of the antibiotics was spiked to 10 μg/l and ozone dose was 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 mg/l. While the removal rate of erythromycin under ultrapure water background by ozone oxidation was over 99%, that under humic acid and biologically treated wastewater background was markedly reduced to the range of 59.8%~99% and 17.0%~99%, respectively. When water temperature is decreased from 20℃ to 4℃, the removal rate is reduced from the range of 17.0%~99% to the range of 9.4%~97.4% under biologically treated wastewater background. The effects of background and temperature on the removal rate of sulfamethazine and sulfathiazole were similar to erythromycin, but the degree was different. Therefore, it is concluded that the background of water to be treated as well as water temperature should be taken into consideration when the design factor such as ozone dose is determined to meet the treatment objective in the ozone treatment process.

In order to suggest the methodology for improving the equity of flow distribution in open channel with multiple outlet, CFD simulations were carried out for actual scale distribution channel being operated in domestic G_WTP(Water Treatment Plant). Also, before and after installing the longitudinal multi hole(diameter=250 mm, 116 holes) baffle suggested by this research, turbidity measurements data were collected for evaluating the effects of hydraulic modification for inlet flow equity. From the both results, total turbidity of settled water was lowered by 30 % and equity of flow distribution was improved about 60 % compared with before hydraulic structure modification.

수돗물 공급에 있어서의 미량 유기물질 및 맛냄새 제거의 중요도가 높아짐에 따라 오존, GAC 및 PAC 등 고도 정수처리공정의 도입이 지속적으로 증대되고 있다. 하지만, 원수의 수질악화, 새로운 오염물질의 출현 등에 의해 기존의 고도처리공정이 향후에도 충분한 대안이 된다고 확신하기는 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 고농도의 분말활성탄을 slurry blanket의 형태로 체류시킨다는 새로운 개념의 접촉조를 구상, 막여과조와 연계하여 하나의 공정으로 완성하였다. 한강원수를 대상으로 80m3/일 규모의 pilot plant를 이용, 유기물질 및 2-MIB, Geosmin에 대한 제거특성을 살펴본 결과 DOC의 경우 운영초기 90% 이상, 안정화된 이후에도 70~80% 내외의 높은 처리효율을 나타내었으며 2-MIB Geosmin의 경우 검출한계 이하로 제거되었다. 본 공정은 1년 이상의 장기간의 고도처리 효율 검증 및 안정된 PAC 접촉조의 운영방안 등 공정 최적화를 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요한 실정이나 기존의 고도처리에 비해 컴팩트하면서 높은 처리효율을 안정적으로 나타냄으로써 맛냄새물질을 비롯한 미량 오염물질을 제거하기 위한 대안공정으로서의 높은 가능성을 확인하였다.
