Abstract

Two extraction methods for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) from contaminated soil were evaluated. The soil used for this study was sandy loam. Diesel oil was selected as representative petroleum hydrocarbons and was spiked at 100, 10,000, 50,000mg TPH/kg dry soil. Percentage recovery of TPH by shaking method was higher compared to Soxhlet extraction. At extraction time of 2 hours and sample to solvent ratio of 1 : 5, the highest percentage recovery was obtained. In this condition, percentage recovery of TPH in soil contaminated with 100mg/kg and 50,000mg/kg as TPH was 95.9% and 95.5%, respectively The volume of solvent lost by volatilization in shaking method was relatively small compared to Soxhlet extraction.

본 연구에서는 오염토양내 석유계 총탄화수소를 분석하기 위한 추출방법을 비교하였다. 사용된 토양은 사질양토였으며 석유계 총탄화수소로는 디젤오일을 선정하였다. 토양내 디젤오일의 오염농도는 건조질량기준으로 100, 10,000, 50,000mgTPH/kg이었다. 오염토양내 석유계 총탄화수소를 추출하는데 있어서 진탕교반에 의한 추출법이 속시렛장치를 이용한 추출법보다 전반적으로 높은 회수율을 보였다. 진탕교반추출법에서 시료와 용매의 비율을 1 : 5(w/v)로 하여 2시간 동안 진탕교반하였을 때 석유계 총탄화수소의 회수율이 가장 높았다. 동일조건에서 100mg/kg과 50,000mg/kg으로 오염된 토양을 진탕교반추출한 경우 각각 95.9%와 95.5%의 회수율을 보였다. 사용된 용매의 손실량을 측정해 본 결과 진탕추출법이 속시렛추출법에서 보다 손실량이 적었다.
