Abstract

Soil humin is the insoluble fraction of humic materials and play an important roles in the irreversible sorption of hydrophobic organic contaminants onto soil particles. However, there have been limited knowledge about the sorption and chemical properties of humin due to the difficulties in its separation from the inorganic matrix(mainly clays and oxides). In this study, de-ashed soil humins($Hu_1-Hu_6$) were isolated from a soil residues(Crude Hu) after removing alkali-soluble organic fractions followed by consecutive dissolution of the mineral matrix with 2%-HF for 2 hr. The humin samples were characterized by elemental analysis and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopic method and their sorption-desorption behavior for 1-naphthol were investigated from aqueous solution. The results were compared one another and that with peat humin. $^{13}C$ NMR spectra features indicate that the soil humin molecules are mainly made up of aliphatic carbons(>80% in total carbon) including carbohydrate, methylene chain. Freundlich sorption parameter, n was increased from 0.538 to 0.697 and organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficient(log $K_{OC}$) values also increased from 2.43 to 2.74 as inorganic matrix of the soil humin removed by HF de-ashing. The results suggest that inorganic phase in humin plays an important, indirect role in 1-naphthol sorption and the effects on the sorption non-linearity and intensity are analyzed by comparison between the results of soil humin and peat humin. Sorption-desorption hysteresis were also observed in all the humin samples and hysteresis index(HI) at low solute concentration($C_e$=0.1 mg/L) are in order of Peat humin(2.67)>De-ashed humin(0.74)>Crude Hu(0.59).

토양휴민(Hu)은 불용성 휴믹물질 성분으로서 소수성 유기화합물의 비가역적 토양흡착에 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 알려진다. 그러나 휴민분자는 대부분 토양 무기물(점토 및 금속산화물) 성분과의 혼합 상태로 존재하기 때문에 순수분리가 어려워 물질특성과 반응성에 대한 정보는 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리 용해성 토양 유기물을 제거한 잔류토양(Crude 휴민)을 대상으로 HF(2%) 처리를 통한 일련의 정제휴민 시료($Hu_1-Hu_6$)를 확보하였고, 원소분석과 $^{13}C$ NMR 분석을 통한 물질특성 및 1-naphthol과의 흡착-탈착 특성을 조사하였다. 비교시료로서 피트에서 추출한 휴민에 대하여도 동일한 실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과는 토양휴민과 비교 분석하였다. $^{13}C$ NMR 분석결과 토양휴민 분자는 탄수화물과 파라핀 계열의 지방족사슬 탄소성분 함량이 전체 유기탄소의 80% 이상을 차지하는 높은 지방족성을 보였다. 1-naphthol과의 흡착실험 결과, HF 정제에 따라 무기물 성분이 제거될수록 Freundlich 흡착상수 n값이 0.538에서 0.697로 일정하게 증가하였으며, 유기탄소-표준화분배계수(log $K_{OC}$) 값도 2.43에서 2.74로 증가하였다. 이는 휴민시료에 존재하는 무기물 성분이 1-naphthol의 흡착에 관여하고 있음을 나타내며, 피트휴민의 결과와 함께 흡착의 비선형성과 흡착세기에 대한 무기물 성분의 영향을 설명하였다. 탈착실험 결과, 모든 휴민시료에서 흡착-탈착 hysteresis가 관찰되었으며, 낮은 용질농도($C_e$=0.1 mg/L)에서의 hysteresis index(HI)는 피트휴민(2.697)>정제휴민(0.738)>Crude 휴민(0.593)의 순으로 나타났다.
