Abstract

Adsorption performance of tetracycline antibiotic compounds such as tetracycline(TC), oxytetracycline(OTC), chlortetracycline (CTC) and minocycline(MNC) on granular activated carbon(GAC) was evaluated in this study. The coal-based activated carbon was found to be more effective than other carbons in adsorption of tetracycline antibiotic compounds. The wood-based activated carbon was less effective than coconut- and coal-based carbon in adsorption nevertheless having larger pore volume and specific surface area than others carbons. The maximum adsorption capacities(X/M) of coal-based activated carbon for the four tetracycline species was 1.27$\sim$1.36 and 1.69$\sim$1.84 times larger than coconut- and wood-based activated carbon, respectively. Carbon usage rates(CUR) of coal-, coconut- and wood-based activated carbons for tetracycline(TC) were 2.96 g/day, 3.40 g/day and 4.53 g/day, respectively. Similar results were obtained in the adsorption of the rest three tetracycline species. It is concluded that coal-based activated carbon could removed the tetracycline antibiotic compounds better than other material-based activated carbons.

입상활성탄 재질별 신탄 및 사용탄에서의 tetracycline계 항생물질 4종에 대한 파과특성의 경우 석탄계 활성탄이 가장 늦게 파과에 도달하였으며, 다음으로 야자계, 목탄계 순으로 조사되었다. 또한, 물질별 활성탄에서의 파과특성을 살펴보면 tetracycline(TC)의 파과시점이 가장 늦은 것으로 나타났으며, 다음으로 oxytetracycline(OTC), chlortetracycline(CTC), minocycline(MNC)으로 나타났다. 활성탄 g당 tetracycline계 항생물질 4종에 대한 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 석탄계 활성탄이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 다음으로 야자계와 목탄계 순으로 나타났다. tetracycline계 항생물질 4종에 대한 석탄계 활성탄의 최대 흡착량(X/M)은 야자계와 목탄계 활성탄에 비해 각각 1.27$\sim$1.36배 및 1.69$\sim$1.84배 정도 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 활성탄 사용율(carbon usage rate, CUR)은 tetracycline의 경우 석탄계 재질의 활성탄이 2.96 g/일, 야자계나 목탄계 활성탄은 각각 3.40 g/day 및 4.53 g/day의 활성탄을 사용하여야만 제어가 가능한 것으로 조사되어 석탄계 활성탄이 다른 재질의 활성탄들에 비해 적은 양으로도 tetracycline계 항생물질을 제어할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 나머지 tetracycline계 항생물질 3종에서도 이와 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 석탄계 활성탄 신탄과 사용탄에 대한 CUR을 비교해보면 tetracycline의 경우 신탄을 사용하였을 경우 보다 1.3년 사용탄 및 3.1년 사용탄을 사용하였을 경우가 CUR이 1.96배 및 2.53배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다.
