- the filtered water storage tank 2 stores the filtered water containing the substances to be treated that are to be subjected to filtration.
- a membrane filtration device 20 is immersed in the filtered water.
- activated carbon is added to the filtered water as an adsorbent.
- the membrane filtration device 20 is equipped with a filtration membrane 21 that sucks the filtered water and separates the filtrate water that does not contain the substances to be treated from the filtered water.

- a well-known separation device in wastewater treatment technology such as a screen device, is used to separate the activated carbon.
- the chemical treatment is performed using a well-known chemical treatment method in which the activated carbon is brought into contact with an alkaline and acidic regenerating chemical solution, as described in Patent Document 2, for example.
- the ozone water mixing tank 6 decomposes inter-element bonds other than C-F bonds in the treated substance by mixing the concentrated wastewater of the treated substance, which is obtained by concentrating the treated substance desorbed from the activated carbon in the adsorbent regeneration device 5, with ozone water in a batch or continuous manner.
- the ozone water can be made by dissolving ozone gas in raw water.
- This dissolution method can be any existing method for producing ozone water, such as a method in which raw water and ozone gas are fed into a gas-liquid mixer to produce ozone water.
- the raw water can be any suitable water that can dissolve ozone gas, such as pure water or ultrapure water. If necessary, the purity of the raw water can be increased using a known pure water production device.
- the ozone gas can be generated by a known ozone gas generator.
- An example of the ozone gas generator is the pure ozone generator manufactured by Meidensha and described in Patent Document 3.
- ozone gas When ozone gas is generated by the pure ozone generator, ozone gas with an ozone concentration of 50% by volume or more and an ozone partial pressure of 30 kPa (abs) or less can be supplied to the gas-liquid mixer, so that high-concentration (100 ppm or more) ozone water can be safely generated.
- gas-liquid mixer examples include an ejector, an aspirator, a jet pump, etc., but are not limited to these and various configurations can be applied.
- the gas-liquid mixer has, for example, a raw water flow passage through which the received raw water flows, and an ozone gas inlet passage connected to the raw water flow passage for introducing the received ozone gas into the raw water flow passage.
- a suction pressure is generated according to Bernoulli's theorem in accordance with the flow rate (flow velocity) of the raw water flowing through the raw water flow passage.
- steam is generated in accordance with the saturated vapor pressure of the raw water.
- a suction range is derived based on the raw water and the ozone gas receiving pressure of the gas-liquid mixer, which is the raw water temperature range in which the vapor pressure of the ozone gas introduction passage is smaller than the receiving pressure.
- the suction range is set appropriately (for example, 25°C or less as described in Patent Document 4) according to the general solubility characteristics of gas in raw water (the solubility tends to increase as the temperature of the raw water decreases). Therefore, if the temperature of the raw water falls outside the suction range, it is adjusted to within the range by adjusting the temperature of the raw water before it is fed to the gas-liquid mixer or by adjusting the temperature of the gas-liquid mixer into which the raw water is introduced.
- the ozone water generated in the gas-liquid mixer may be mixed with a concentration-adjusting gas to stabilize the ozone concentration, or may be circulated to an ozone water generating unit equipped with the gas-liquid mixer or temporarily stored.

- the other electrode may be in the form of a pulsed plasma discharge vessel 7 shown in FIG. 8.
- a pulse voltage is applied between the electrode 72 as the one electrode and the conductive pulsed plasma discharge vessel 7 functioning as the other electrode, and the pulsed plasma discharged from one end of the electrode 72 near the liquid surface is supplied to the mixed liquid via the gas phase near the liquid surface.
- the power supply for applying the pulse voltage is capable of generating the pulse plasma that breaks down inter-element bonds (e.g., bonds between carbon and fluorine elements) of the material to be treated that have a bond energy higher than the oxidation potential of hydroxyl radicals (hereinafter, OH).
- the electrodes and power supply device described in Patent Document 5 are used as the electrodes and power supply.
- the mixed liquid in the pulse plasma discharge tank 7 may be aerated with an aeration device 71 as shown in FIG. 8. This aeration stabilizes the discharge of the pulse plasma and improves the reduction rate of PFOS and PFOA.
- the activated carbon is added to the filtered water introduced into the filtered water storage tank 2 by the adsorbent adding means 3.
- the substances to be treated in the filtered water are adsorbed by the activated carbon.
- the filtration membrane 21 of the membrane filtration device 20 immersed in the filtered water has pores small enough to block and capture the activated carbon, so the activated carbon is removed by the filtration membrane 21.
- the adsorption of the substances to be treated and the separation of the activated carbon can be applied to large-scale water treatment, and filtered water can be obtained quickly and in large quantities by the filtration membrane 21.
- the liquid phase containing the activated carbon that has adsorbed the substances to be treated is transferred to the adsorbent regeneration device 5 by the adsorbent transfer means 4.
- the filtrate that does not contain the substances to be treated separated by the filtration membrane 21 is transferred outside the system.
- the activated carbon separated from the liquid phase by the screen or the like comes into contact with the regeneration liquid, causing the treated substance to be desorbed from the activated carbon and regenerating the activated carbon.
- Easily decomposable organic matter may be decomposed during the regeneration process, but if the treated substance is a difficult-to-decompose organic matter such as PFAS, it is not decomposed and is concentrated to a high concentration in the regeneration effluent. This concentrated effluent of the treated substance is supplied to the ozone water mixing tank 6.

- the filtration membrane 21 of the membrane filtration device 20 in the filtered water storage tank 2 which corresponds to the first filtration membrane in this embodiment, has pores small enough to block and capture the activated sludge, so the activated sludge is separated from the first filtrate water by the filtration membrane 21.
- the first filtrate water is supplied to the reverse osmosis membrane filter 8 by pumping.
- the first filtrate is separated into a second filtrate that does not contain the treated substance (hard-to-decompose organic matter) and a concentrated effluent of the treated substance by a reverse osmosis membrane (hereinafter, RO membrane) 81, which corresponds to the second filtration membrane of this embodiment.
- the first filtrate does not contain solid matter that is alienated from the RO membrane 81 or organic matter that is easily decomposed, but still contains the treated substance such as PFAS.
- the RO membrane 81 has pores with a pore size smaller than that of the filtration membrane 21, which is sufficient to block and capture the treated substance, so that the treated substance is removed from the first filtrate.
- the concentrated effluent of the treated substance is sequentially supplied to the ozone water mixing tank 6 and the pulse plasma discharge tank 7 as in the first and second embodiments. Meanwhile, the second filtrate is transferred to the outside of the system.

This treated water was prepared by dissolving reagent grade PFOS and PFOA in tap water, as in the preliminary test. This treated water was treated with ozone water in the ozone water mixing tank 6 shown in FIG. 8 and then subjected to pulse plasma discharge treatment in the pulse plasma discharge tank 7 to obtain the treated water in Example 1.
- the ozone water mixing treatment process is carried out in the ozone water mixing tank 6 shown in FIG. 8.
- the water to be treated and high-concentration ozone water were supplied to the ozone water mixing tank 6 and mixed.

- Water quality evaluation point (2) is the treated water from the ozone water mixing treatment process.
- Water quality evaluation point (3) is the treated water from the pulse discharge treatment process (pulse plasma discharge tank 7).
- the water to be treated and high-concentration ozone water are mixed at a 1:1 ratio, so the concentration of substances in the raw water is halved due to the dilution effect.
- the substances contained in the water quality evaluation points (1), (2), and (3) were displayed and evaluated as total amounts rather than concentrations.
- the combination of ozone water contact treatment and pulse discharge treatment reduced the combined total amount of PFOS and PFOA by 43%.
- the amount of fluoride ions increased after pulse discharge treatment. It is presumed that the increase in fluoride ions is the result of the C-F bonds of PFOS and PFOA contained in the treated water being broken by the pulse discharge treatment. Furthermore, since there was no increase in fluoride ions with ozone water contact treatment, it is believed that pulse discharge treatment is more effective at breaking the C-F bonds of PFOS and PFOA than ozone water contact treatment.

図3に示された本発明の実施形態3の水処理装置1は、膜分離活性汚泥法(以下、MBR)を採用し、吸着剤の代わりに活性汚泥が被ろ過水貯留槽2に添加され且つ吸着剤再生装置5の代わりに逆浸透膜ろ過機8を有すること以外は実施形態1,2と同態様となる。
本発明は、上述の実施形態に限定することなく図6に例示したような各種の業界やサービス形態に応じて適用でき、前記実施形態と同様の効果が得られる。
実施例1の被処理水として、PFOS及びPFOAを含有した被処理水(PFOSの濃度は3,300μg/L、PFOAの濃度は5,300μg/L、PFOSとPFOAの合算濃度は8,600μg/L)を使用した。この被処理水は事前試験と同様に試薬グレードのPFOS及びPFOAを水道水に溶解して調製されたものである。そして、この被処理水を図8に示されたオゾン水混合槽6にてオゾン水混合処理した後にパルスプラズマ放電槽7にてパルスプラズマ放電処理した処理水を実施例1の処理水とした。
オゾン水混合処理プロセスは図8に示されたオゾン水混合槽6にて実施される。被処理水と高濃度オゾン水をオゾン水混合槽6に供給して混合させた。本処理は、バッチ方式とし、高濃度オゾン水に溶存するオゾン、さらにはこのオゾンが分解する際に生成する活性酸化種による被処理水中のPFAS含む有機物の酸化分解を図った。前述のようにPFASの有するC-F結合の分解はオゾン及び活性酸化種の酸化ポテンシャルでは困難と予想されるので、有機物のC-C、C=C等の結合を切断、分解、若しくは当該有機物の無機化を期待した。高濃度オゾン水は、前記ピュアオゾンジェネレータで製造したものを使用した。本実施例のオゾン水混合処理プロセスの条件を以下の表2に示した。
パルス放電処理プロセスは、図8のパルスプラズマ放電槽7にて実施される。パルスプラズマ放電槽7にはオゾン水混合処理プロセス(オゾン水混合槽6)の処理水(被処理水と高濃度オゾンの混合液)が供給される。曝気装置71は散気管75を介したブロア74により前記混合液を空気曝気する。電極72は、先端がパルスプラズマ放電槽7内の液面近傍の気相に配置され、パルス電源73からのパルス電圧の印加によりパルスプラズマ放電槽7との間でパルスプラズマを発生させる。前記パルスプラズマは前記液面近傍の気相を介して前記混合液に供されて当該混合液の液面に沿って流れてパルスプラズマ放電槽7を介してグラウンド(アース)に流れる。
パルス放電処理前のオゾン水接触処理の有無によるPFOSの低減効果を検証するため、比較例1として、オゾン水混合槽6にて高濃度オゾン水の代わりに純水を被処理水と混合処理した後にパルスプラズマ放電槽7でのパルス放電処理を行った。被処理水と純水との混合比率(容量比)は被処理水:純水=1:1とした。
