Abstract

Biological treatment of benzene and toluene contaminated soil was investigated in laboratory microcosm of 16 different types for degrading benzene and toluene by indigenous bacteria. At the experimental conditions of the microcosms fast degrading benzene and toluene, moisture contents were 30% and 60% in a soil gap and content of powdered-activated carbon(PCA) for adhesion of benzene and toluene-degrading bacteria was 1% in total soil mass. At the conclusion of the shifted bacteria community, Case 6 and case 7 were operated until 10 days, and then the total cell number and the number of benzene and toluene degrading bacteria were investigated. The total cell number of Case 6 and Case 7 increased 488 fold and 308 fold of total indigenous cell, respectively. The number of benzene and toluene degrading bacteria increased and maintained the percentages occupied in pre-operating microcosm. Species of benzene and toluene degrading bacteria in microcosm changed from species of Gram negative bacteria to Gram positive bacterial species after soil exposed to benzene and toluene.

생물학적 방법으로 토착 미생물에 의해 벤젠과 톨루엔을 효과적으로 분해할 수 있는 토양환경인자의 조건을 조사하기 위해 16가지의 서로 다른 환경의 미소환경(microcosm)을 제작하여 벤젠과 톨루엔 분해실험을 수행하였고, 아울러 분해과정에서 토착미생물의 분포변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과 실험 조건중 토양의 수분 포화도는 30%와 60%이면서 동시에 생물들이 흡착할 수 있는 미생물 흡착제로 활성탄을 1% 첨가한 미소환경(Case 6, Case 7)에서 벤젠과 톨루엔의 분해속도가 가장 빨랐다. 토착토양미생물의 분포변화를 조사한 결과 벤젠과 톨루엔의 분해가 가장 빨리 일어나는 Case 6 와 Case 7에서는 10일 배양 후 total culturable bacteria는 초기 세균 수에 비해 각각 488배와 308배가 증가하였다. 벤젠과 톨루엔 분해세균의 증가 역시 총 세균수가 증가하는 비율로 증가하여 초기 분포를 계속 유지하였고, 벤젠과 톨루엔을 첨가한 미소환경에서 분해 미생물 종의 변화는, 첨가 전 그람음성 세균이 반응 10일 후에는 그람양성 세균이 탈이 분리되었다.
