Abstract
Removal of 4-chlorophenol (4CP) by natural manganese dioxide (NMD) catalyzed reaction was investigated in this study. Tests were also carried out to evaluate the effects of pH and natural organic matter (NOM) on the degradative oxidation of 4CP. Experimental results proved that NMD was effective for the removal of 4CP. Extensive kinetic analysis suggests that overall oxidation of 4CP by NMD is second-order reaction, the first-order with respect to 4CP, and the first-order with respect to NMD, respectively. Also, 4CP oxidation rates on the Mn-oxide surfaces were highly dependent upon experimental conditions such as pH, initial concentration of 4CP or NMD, and existence of humic acid. As pH increased above PZC of NMD, the reaction rate of 4CP was decreased, due to the low affinity of 4CP on NMD at high pH. At pH lower than PZC of NMD, reaction rate of 4CP was also decreased. It was considered that humic acid was involved in the oxidative coupling reaction of 4CP by NMD, resulting in the enhanced degradation rate of 4CP. This study proved that natural manganese oxide can be effectively applied for the removal of chlorophenols in aqueous phase.

본 연구에서는 천연 망간산화물에 의한 4-클로로페놀 화합물의 제거효과를 평가하였으며 자연유기물질과 용액의 pH에 의한 분해율 변화를 살펴보았다. 천연망간산화물은 4-클로로페놀 화합물의 제거에 효과적이었으며 실험결과의 분석을 통하여 반응계수 및 차수에 대한 정량적인 값을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 전체적인 반응은 2차반응으로서 4-클로로페놀 화합물에 대하여 1차, 망간산화물에 대하여 1차에 비례하는 반응이었다. 망간산화물에 의한 4-클로로페놀 화합물의 산화반응은 표면에서 일어나며 pH에 큰 영향을 받았다. 용액의 pH가 망간산화물의 영가전위(PZC) 값보다 클 경우 반응율은 급격히 감소하였으며 PZC 보다 pH가 작은 경우에도 반응율은 감소하였다. 휴믹산을 첨가한 경우 4-클로로페놀 화합물의 산회중합 반응은 다소 증가하는 경향을 보여 휴믹산이 중합반응에 관여하고 있다고 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과, 경제적인 비용으로서 천연망간산화물을 이용하여 페놀계 오염물의 제거에 효과적으로 사용 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.
