In Situ Bio-barrier Formation using Bacteria/Fungi-Soil Mixture

Bacteria/Fungi 혼합토를 이용한 현장 Bio-barrier 형성

When microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi are injected into porous medium such as soils along with appropriate substrate and nutrients, biomass retained in the soil pore. Soil pore size and shape are varied from the initial condition as a result of biofilm formation, which make hydraulic conductivity reduced. In this research, hydraulic conductivity reduction was measured after microorganism are inoculated and cultured with synthetic substrates and nutrients. Biomass-soil mixture was evaluated its applicability to the field condition as an alternative liner material in landfill by measuring hydraulic conductivity change after repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
