Abstract

Transports of heterogeneously charged particles were investigated based on column experiments. Synthesized mono-dispersed ferrihydrite (${\sim}100nm$) and amorphous $SiO_2\;({\sim}40nm\;and\;{\sim}80nm)$ particles, of which surfaces are oppositely charged under pH < 9.0 (ferrihydrite, positive; amorphous silica, negative), were used. $177{\sim}250{\mu}m$ quartz sand was used as a stationary matrix. The results show that even favorable particles (i.e., ferrihydrite) can show a conservative transport through the oppositely charged media (i.e., quartz) when they coexist with humic acid or with much greater number of oppositely charged particles. These results imply that transports of both negatively and positively charged contaminants may be possible at the same time under a condition of heterogeneous colloidal system.

본 연구에서는 컬럼실험을 통해서 여러 종류의 콜로이드가 같이 존재할 때의 거동을 관찰하였다. 본 실험에서는 일반 pH조건에서 서로 반대의 표면전하를 띠는 ferrihydrite (100 nm; 양전하)와 비정질 $SiO_2$ (40 nm, 80 nm; 음전하) 나노입자들와 음전하를 띠는 $177{\sim}250{\mu}m$의 석영을 고정상으로 이용하였다. 실험결과는, 양전하를 띠는 콜로이드(ferrihydrite)가 존재한다고 하더라도 그 비율이 많지 않으면 음전하를 띠는 콜로이드($SiO_2$)와의 상호작용에 의해서 석영고정상 속을 쉽게 이동될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이는 자연조건하에서는 양전하를 띠는 오염물질과 음전하를 띠는 오염물질이 동시에 콜로이드에 의해서 이동될 수 있음을 지시한다.
