토양개량제(土壤改良劑) Uresol 및 Bitumen 처리(處理)가 토양(土壤)의 수분이동(水分移動)과 유실(流失)에 미치는 영향(影響) -I. 토양입단(土壤粒團)의 안정성(安定性)과 보수력(保水力) 변화(變化)

This study was aimed at finding out the effect of soil conditioners on soil structural properties, soil water movements and soil losses. Sandy loam and silt loam soils were treated with two different kinds of soil conditioners, hydrophobic Bitumen 0.4% or hydrophilic Uresol 0.6%, and then various physical characteristics of the treated and untreated aggregates were determined. The results are summarized as follows: 1. By the soil conditioner treatment, Bitumen 0.4% or Uresol 0.6%, the aggregate stability was increased to 1.650-3.450 as compared to 0.275-0.417 of untreated soil and the sedimented bulk density was decreased. 2. Air-water permeability ratio of sandy loam was decreased to 2.2 by Uresol treatment as compared to untreated soil 3.8. In case of silt loam, it was decreased to 6.9 and 5.3 by Bitumen and Uresol treatment as compared to untreated 9.4, and water permeability of treated soil continued high value for 40 days. 3. Air-water permeability ratio was sharply enhanced as the structure instability index increased, but the ratio increased very smoothy after the index over 1. 4. The soil moisture retention was increased 2 to 6% by Uresol treatment, but it was decreased 1 to 3% by Bitumen treatment.

토양개량제(土壤改良劑)가 토양구조(土壤構造)의 특성변화(特性變化)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 친수성(親水性)인 Uresol과 소수성(疎水性)인 Bitumen을 사양토(砂壤土)와 미사질양토(微砂質壤土)에 각각(各各) 처리하여 토양입단(土壤粒團)의 물리적(物理的) 제특성(諸特性)을 분석(分析)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. Bitumen 0.4%, Uresol 0.6% 처리(處理)로 토양구조(土壤構造)의 안정성지수(安定性指數)는 처리(處理)하지 않은 토양(土壤) 0.275~0.416에 비(比)하여 1.650~3.450으로 현저히 증가(增加)되었으며 수중침적용적중(水中沈積容積重)은 크게 감소(減少)되었다. 2. 통기(通氣)-투수성(透水性) 비율(比率)은 사양토(砂壤土)에서 처리(處理)하지 않은 토양(土壤)이 3.8인데 비(比)하여 Uresol처리 토양은 2.2로 감소(減少)되었으며, 미사질양토(微砂質壤土)에서 무처리토양(無處理土壤)이 9.4인데 비(比)하여 Bitumen 처리토양(處理土壤)은 6.9, Uresol처리토양(處理土壤)은 5.3으로 낮았다. 3. 토양구조(土壤構造)의 불안정지수(不安定指數)가 증가(增加)될수록 통기(通氣)-투수성(透水性) 비율(比率)은 급격히 상승(上昇)되다가 지수(指數)가 1 이상(以上)에서는 이 비율(比率)이 매우 완만(緩慢)하게 증가(增加)되었다. 4. 친수성(親水性)인 Uresol처리(處理)는 토양(土壤)의 보수력(保水力)을 2~6% 증가(增加)시켰으나 소수성(疎水性)인 Bitumen 처리(處理)는 보수력(保水力)이 1~3% 감소(減少)되었다.
