Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 環境工程研究所 === 98 === Taiwan Water Supply Cooperation (TWSC) has upgraded traditional purification processes into advanced treatment systems in south Taiwan for many years. The removal efficiency of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) by ultrafiltration (UF) with reverse osmosis (RO) systems was 47% was lower than that of 62% by ozone with biological activated carbon system (BAC). In this work, we investigate the removal of AOC and disinfection by products formation potential (DBPFP) of raw water took from a water treatment plant by using BAC and membrane treatment units. BAC system of granular activated carbon(GAC) and powder activated carbon (PAC) showed two kind carbons have certain efficiency for AOC removal. Results we found could reach above 50% (from 44.28±9.84μg acetate-C/L reduce to 20.93±4.25μg acetate-C/L for GAC and from 45.92±17.75μg acetate-C/L reduce to 21.23±4.25μg acetate-C/L for PAC), when hydraulic retention time (HRT) in BAC reactor was at 1 hour. When HRT raised to 6 hours the concentration of AOC in effluent of BAC systems were reduced under 15 μg/L, and removal efficiency could reach above 70%. The suggested limit level of AOC is 50 μg/L of drinking water. In removal of DBPFP, BAC of two carbons has showed certain efficiency on trihalomethanes formation potential (THMFP) and haloacetic acids formation potential (HAA5FP). The results were done in removal of THMFP (from 20.54±6.48μg/L reduce to 14.21±4.47μg/L for GAC and from 24.64±6.74μg/L reduce to 14.75±4.04μg/L for PAC) and HAA5FP (from 39.64±10.38μg/L reduce to 17.35μg/L for GAC and from 17.86±5.13μg/L reduce to 11.76±3.76μg/L for PAC) in BAC reactors. They were all lower than national standard of drinking water (THMs 80μg/L, HAAs 60μg/L). It is believed that two kind carbons in BAC system could all reduce effectively on AOC and DBPFP to obtain high quality of drinking water with biological stability at HRT of 6 hours.
