Abstract

The objectives of this paper are to study the use of geotextile tribes for dewatering high water content sludges and sediments and to evaluate their feasibility and affecting fsctors. To accomplish these objectives, pressure filtration tests were conducted on woven geotextile (Geotex$\circledR$ 46T and 1212T) fir high water content materials with a modified experimental apparatus. Test results indicate that 1) the filter cake formed on the inside of the geotextile tube is the major contributor to the retention of fine particles, but also causes a decrease in permeability, 2) controlling the formation of the filter cake and thus achieving a balance between soil retention and permeability is vital to a successful project, and 3) geotextiles, sludge properties, and filtration pressures have some effects on the dewatering efficiency and dewatering rate.

본 논문에서 고함수비 슬러지나 퇴적물들의 탈수에 지오텍스타일 튜브들의 이용이 연구되었고, 튜브들의 사용에 대한 실용성과 영향을 미치는 요인들도 평가되었다. 개조된 실험기를 사용하여 고함수비물질들과 두종류의 woven지오텍스타일 튜브에 대해서 압력여과시험들이 실험되었다. 실험결과, 1) 지오텍스타일 튜브안쪽에 형성된 필터케익이 튜브안에서 세립자 유지의 주 원인이며, 또한 튜브의 투수율 감수의 원인이고, 2) 필터케익형성을 조정해서 토사유지율과 투수율사이의 균형을 얻는것이 성공적인 지오텍스타일 튜브사용에 가장 중요한 것이며, 3) 지오텍스타일, 슬러지 특성, 여과압력등이 탈수효과 및 탈수율에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다
