Abstract

Perchlorate contamination in aquatic system is a growing concern due to the human health and ecological risks associated with perchlorate exposure. In spite of potential risks associated with perchlorate, drinking water standard has not been established worldwide. Recently, US EPA has issued new protective guidance for cleaning up perchlorate contamination with a preliminary clean-up goal of 24.5 ppb. In Korea, the drinking water standard and discharge standard for perchlorate has not been established yet and little information is available to address perchlorate problems. Perchlorate treatment technologies include ion exchange, microbial reactor, carbon adsorption, composting, in situ bioremediation, permeable reactive barrier, phytoremediation, and membrane technology. The process description, capability, and advantage/disadvantages of each technology were described in detail in this review. One of recent trends in perchlorate treatment is the combination of available treatment options such as combined microbial reduction and permeable reactive burier. In this review, we provided a brief perspective on perchlorate treatment technology and to identify an efficient and cost-effective approach to manage perchlorate problem.

건강유해물질인 perchlorate로 인한 음용수의 오염은 국 내외적으로 심각히 대두되고 있으나, 전세계적으로 perchlorate에 대한 국가 차원의 규제 기준을 가진 곳은 아직 없고 발암물질로 구분되지도 않은 상황이다. 최근엔 미국 환경청(US EPA)에서 perchlorate의 예방적 복원 지침서를 발표하였으며, perchlorate 분석 및 저감기술에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 현재 국내에서는 perchlorate에 대한 먹는 물 수질기준이나 배출 허용 기준 등이 설정되어 있지 않고, perchlorate에 관한 국내 연구는 초기 단계에 머무르고 있다. 본 연구에서는 perchlorate의 성상 및 인체 유해성에 관해 간단히 고찰하였고, 기존의 이온교환(Ion exchange), 생물반응기(Bioreactor), 액상 탄소 흡착(Liquid Phase Carbon Adsorption), 퇴비화 처리(Composting), 현장 생물학적 정화(In Situ Bioremediation), 투수성 반응 벽체(Permeable Reactive Barrier), 식물정화법(Phytotechnology), 막분리기술(Membrane Technologies) 등과 같은 저감 기술의 장단점 및 효율에 관해 소개하였다. 최근 활발히 진행되고 있는 투수성 반응 벽체와 생물학적 환원 기술의 통합 등에 대한 연구 및 분석기술 개발에 대해서도 소개하였다. 본 논문을 통해 향후 국내 실정에 맞는 고효율의 perchlorate 국내저감기술 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.
