Abstract

The effects of electrolytes were investigated on the removal efficiency when several different electrolytes were used to change the electrode reaction in an electrokinetic (EK)-Fenton process to remediate phenanthrene-contaminated soil. Electrical potential gradient decreased initially due to the ion entrance into soil and then increased due to the ion extraction from soil under the electric field. Accumulated electroosmotic flow was $NaCl>KH_2PO_4>MgSO_4$ at the same concentration because the ionic strength of $MgSO_4$ was the highest and $Mg(OH)_2$ formed near the cathode reservoir plugged up soil pore to inhibit water flow. When hydrogen peroxide was contained in electrolyte solution, removal efficiency increased by Fenton reaction. When NaCl was used as an electrolyte compound, chlorine ($Cl_2$) was generated at the anode and dissolved to form hypochlorous acid (HClO), which increased phenanthrene removal. Therefore, the electrode reaction of electrolyte in the anode reservoir as well as its transport into soil should be considered to improve removal efficiency of EK-Fenton process.

Phenanthrene 오염토양 정화를 위한 동전기-펜턴 공정에서, 전해질의 종류와 전극반응에 따른 전기삼투유량의 변화와 오염물의 분해율을 관찰하였다. 전압경사는 초기에 감소하였다가 다시 증가하였는데, 이는 전류가 공급됨에 따라 이 온이 토양 내로 유입되어 전도도가 증가하였다가, 전기삼투 및 전기이동 현상에 의해 이온이 유출수를 통하여 빠져 나가 토양 내의 이온 농도가 다시 감소하여 전도도가 감소하였기 때문이다 총 전기삼투유량은 $NaCl>KH_2PO_4>MgSO_4$의 순서로 나타났는데, 이는 같은 몰농도(M)에서 $MgSO_4$의 이온세기가 다른 전해질보다 높았기 때문이다. 과산화수소를 첨가했을 경우는, 첨가하지 않은 경우보다 펜턴 반응에 의한 산화분해로 제거율이 향상되었다. NaCl의 경우, 양극 전극조에서 전극 반응에 의해 생성된 염소 가스($Cl_2$)가 산성조건에서 용해되어 형성된 하이포아염소산 (HClO)이 오염물의 산화분해를 증가시켜 다른 전해질보다 높은 제거율을 나타내었다. 따라서 동전기-펜턴 공정에서 제거율을 향상시키기 위해서는, 전해질이 토양 내에서 동전기적 이동 메커니즘에 미치는 영향과 더불어 양극 전극조에서의 전극 반응에 의한 생성물의 특성 또한 고려되어야 한다.
