Abstract

Sorption kinetics of hydrophobic organic compounds (chlorobenzene and phenanthrene) in natural wetland soils was investigated using laboratory batch adsorbers. One -site mass transfer model (OSMTM) and two compartment first-order kinetic model (TCFOKM) were used to analyze sorption kinetics. Analysis of OSMTM reveals that apparent sorption equilibria were obtained within 10 to 75 hours for chlorobenzene and 2 hours for phenanthrene, respectively. For chlorobenzene, the sorption equilibrium time for surface soil was longer than that of deeper soil presumably due to physico-chemical differences between the soils. For phenanthrene, however, no difference in sorption equilibrium time was observed between the soils. As expected from the number of model parameters involved, the three-parameter TCFOKM was better than the two-parameter OSMTM in describing sorption kinetics, The fraction of fast sorption ($f_1$) and the first-order sorption rate constants for fast ($k_1$)and slow ($k_2$) compartments were determined by fitting experimental data to the TCFOKM. The results of TCFOKM analysis indicate that the sorption rate constant in the fast compartment($k_1$) was much greater than that of slow fraction($k_2$) . The fraction of the fast sorption ($f_1$) and the sorption rate constant in the fast compartment($k_1$) were increasing in the order of increasing $k_{ow}$, phenanthrene > chlorobenzene. The first-order sorption rate constants in the fast ($k_1$) and slow ($k_2$) compartments were found to vary from $10^{-0.1}\;to\;-10^{1.0}$ and from $10^{-4}\;to-10^{-2}$, respectively.

자연습지 토양에서 소수성 유기화합물(염화벤젠 및 페난쓰린)의 흡착동력학을 실험실규모의 회분식 반응기를 이용하여 조사하였다. 단일영역 물질전달모델 (one-site mass transfer model, OSMTM)과 두영역 1차속도모델 (two compartment first-order kinetic model, TCFOKM)을 사용하여 흡착속도를 분석하였다. OSMTM 분석결과 염화벤젠의 경우 10${\sim}$75시간 이내에, 페난쓰린의 경우 약 2시간 이내에 각각 겉보기 흡착평형에 도달하였다. 염화벤젠의 경우, 표면 토양에서의 흡착평형시간이 하부 토양보다 길게 나타났는데, 이는 토양 유기탄소의 물리화학적 특성의 차이에 기인한다. 그러나, 페난쓰린의 경우 각 토양간에 흡착평형시간의 차이는 없었다. 관련 모델매개변수의 수에서 기대되듯이 변수가 3개인 TCFOKM이 변수가 2개인 OSMTM보다 흡착속도를 더 잘 표현할 수 있었다. 실험결과에 대한 TCFOKM의 곡선맞춤으로부터 얻은 매개변수인 빠른 흡착영역의 분율($f_1$)과 빠른 흡착영역과 느린 흡착영역의 1차 흡착속도 상수($k_1$,및 $k_2$)를 얻을 수 있었다. TCFOKM 분석결과 빠른 흡착영역에서의 흡착속도 상수는 느린 흡착영역에서의 흡착속도 상수 보다 큰 것으로 나타났다. 빠른 흡착영역의 분율 ($f_1$)과 흡착속도상수 ($k_1$)는 $k_{ow}$ 값이 증가(페난쓰린>염화벤젠)함에 따라 증가하였다. 빠른 흡착영역과 느린 흡착영역에서의 1차 흡착 속도상수는 각각$10^{-0.1}\;-10^{+1}$과 $10^{-4}\;-10^{-2}$의 범위에서 변화하였다.
