This study was carried out to evaluate the pollutant removal efficiencies of the advanced drinking water treatment using ozonation process. For raw water, Nakdong River was used. By conducting batch test of ozonation, the following results were obtained. When ozone dosage of 5 mg/ℓ was used, ozone transfer and utilization efficiencies of the ozonation were 94 to 92%, respectively. Removal efficiencies of single VOC compound or mixed VOC compounds in the raw water were 80% to 90% by the ozonation with 2 mg/ℓ dosage and 10 minutes contact time. Removal efficiencies of ABS by the ozonation with 1 mg/ℓ, 3 mg/ℓ dosage and 20 minutes contact time were 83% to 96% , respectively. Almost 67% of chlorophyll-a at the concentration of 38.4㎍/ℓ was removed by ozonation at ozone dosage of 1 ㎎/ℓ for 20 min. Considering the efficiency of ozone utilization and water treatment, the most effective ozonation could be obtained with high ozone dosage and short contact time.

This study was carried out to evaluate the pollutant removal efficiencies of the advanced drinking water treatment using ozonation. For raw water, Nakdong River was used. By conducting batch ozonation test, the following results were obtained. When ozone dosage of 5㎎/ℓ was used, preozonation of raw water reduced turbidity, KMnO4 consumption, DOC(dissolved organic carbon), UV254 absorbance, THMFP(trihalomethane formation potential) as much as 3.9 NTU, 5.5㎎/ℓ, 1.15㎎/ℓ, 0.112 and 0.065㎎/ℓ, respectively. In case of postozonation of sand filtered water, water quality was also improved with decrease in turbidity, KMnO4 consumption, DOC, UV254 absorbance and THMFP at the amount of 0.08NTU, 2.6㎎/ℓ, 0.88㎎/ℓ, 0.042 and 0.018㎎/ℓ, respectively. On the other hand, contents of dissolved oxygen increased at the level of 1.3㎎/ℓ after preozonation process' and 1.0㎎/ℓ after postozonation process. The effect of ozone dosage was higher than that of its contact time for the removal of the pollutants.

This study was performed to determine the optimum coagulant dosing for effective treatment of raw water in Chinyang lake. Removal rates of algae and characteristics of the water according to coagulants dosage were investigated by treatment with Microcystis aeruginosa, which is a kind of blue-green algae, to the raw water below 5NTU. The coagulants dosage for maximum removal rate of algae were 30 ㎎/ℓ of Alum, 30 ㎎/ℓ of PAC and 10 ㎎/ℓ of PACS, respectively. The removal rate of algae in 30 ㎎/ℓ of PAC was highest as 85% compared with the other treatments. At the point of maximum removal rate of algae, the removal rates of turbidity were 34%, 66% and 22% in Alum, PAC and PACS, respectively. Residual Al was decreased depend upon decreasing turbidity in water by treatment of Alum or PAC, but decreased depend upon increasing turbidity in water by treatment of PACS. The removal rate of Mn2+ in water was high in the order of Alum, PAC and PACS treatment. And Fe2+ in water was not changed by treatment of these coagulants. Particle numbers distributions according to the particle size of suspended solids that were not precipitated at 8 min. of settling time after treatment of coagulants dosage for the maximum removal rate of algae were investigated. Most of the particle sizes were below 30 ㎛ and particle numbers distributions below 10 ㎛ were 64%, 56% and 66% by treatment of Alum, PAC and PACS, respectively. Zeta potential was in the range of -6.1∼-9.7 mV at optimum coagulants dosage for algae removal.
