Abstract

Economic growth has increased the living standards around the world. Water pollution, in particular, is a public relations issue because it poses a direct threat to everyone's lives. As of recently, the production of taste and odor (T&O) compounds has been a common problem in the water industry. The adsorption process using granular activated carbon (GAC) has been the most widely used process. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the microorganisms before and after the backwashing of GAC and to identify the species of the microorganisms found. Five dominants microorganisms were confirmed after the microfiltration process from backwashing of GAC, and the dominant bacterial species were found to be ${\beta}$-proteobacterium species, Porphyrobacter donghaensis, Polaromonas rhizophaerae, Hydrogenophaga species, and Pseudonocardia species. However, when UV treatment after microfiltration was performed, Hydrogenophaga species and Psedonocardia species were eliminated. Herein, I conclude that the UV treatment post microfiltration process is more efficient than microfiltration process alone. The findings of this study may provide useful information regarding the management of microfiltration process.

경제성장으로 생활수준이 향상됨에 따라 국민건강을 직접적으로 위협하는 수질오염에 대해 세계적으로 관심을 갖게 되었으며, 최근 맛 냄새 유발물질 발생의 문제가 대두되기 시작했다. 본 연구에서는 G정수장 내의 모형플랜트에서 사용된 원수 및 각 공정에 대한 공정수를 물 시료로 채취하여 정밀여과막 공정 및 입상활성탄 공정에서 박테리아의 거동에 대해 확인하였고, 또한 입상활성탄의 지속적 사용을 위한 역세척 가동 시 박테리아의 탈리 여부와 종 동정을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 정밀막여과 공정을 거치는 경우 수계 내 존재하는 박테리아가 제거가 되는 것을 확인하였으며, 역세척 가동시 ${\beta}$-proteobacterium species, Porphyrobacter donghaensis, Polaromonas rhizophaerae, Hydrogenophaga species, Pseudonocardia species 등 총 5종의 우점종 박테리아가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 정밀여과막 공정 이후 UV 공정을 추가 처리한 공정 처리수를 활성탄 공정에 유입한 2종의 박테리아는 나타나지 않는 것을 확인함에 따라 생물활성탄 공정에 의한 오염물질 제거에서 박테리아 군집의 UV에 대한 민감도가 고려되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 수처리 공정의 설계에 유용한 지표를 제공하고자 하였다.
