초록

분배성 추적자 시험법은 LNAPLs(light nonaqueous phase liquids)로 오염된 지반을 조사하는데 아주 유용한 방법이다. 하지만 토양 내 유기물질로 흡착되는 분배성 추적자는 잠재적으로 분배성 추적자 시험법의 정확성에 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 연구 결과, 추적자의 액상-LNAPL 간 분배 계수는 선형 관계를 보였다. 토양의 흠착능력을 평가하기 위해 흡착 등은 실험을 수행한 결과, Freundlich 흡착 등은 양상과 거의 일치하였고, 추적자의 흡착 정도는 토양 내 유기물질 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 또한, 토양 유기물의 흡착능에 따른 잠재적 영향을 판단하고, 추적자 시험법에 의한 LNAPLs 예측의 오차를 수정하기 위해 서로 다른 유기물 함량을 가진 4개의 컬럼 실험을 수행하였다. 컬럼 실험 결과, 오염물질이 없더라도 주문진 표준사와 유기물질이 섞인 컬럼에서는 추적자의 분리 현상이 발생하였다. 오염물질로 케로진을 주입한 이후에 다시 추적자 시험법을 수행하여 파괴곡선을 구한 결과, 토양 유기물질에 대한 추적자의 흡착으로 인해 추적자의 지연계수(R)가 커졌고 LNAPLs의 오염도가 과대평가 되었다. 또한 컬럼 실험 결과를 바탕으로 유기물 함량과 LNAPLs의 예측도 사이의 관계식을 제안하였다.

Partitioning tracer method is a useful tool to characterize large domains of the aquifers contaminated with light nonaqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs). Sorption of the partitioning tracers to the organic matter content of soil can potentially influence the efficacy of partitioning tracer method. LNAPL-water partitioning coefficients of tracers ($K_{nw}$), measured by static method, showed linear relationship. Sorption isotherm tests were conducted to evaluate the sorption capacity of the soils packed in the columns and the results were appropriately represented by Freundlich sorption isotherm. The sorption of tracers proportionally increased with the increase of the organic matter content of the soil. Laboratory experiments were conducted in four columns each packed with soils of different organic matter contents to determine the potential interference effects of sorption to soil organic matter content and correction factors for the errors in estimation of LNAPLs by partitioning tracer method. Though there were no contaminants added, breakthrough curves from columns packed with mixture of Jumunjin standard sand and organic matter showed separation of tracers. Columns were then contaminated to residual saturation with kerosene and breakthrough curves were obtained. The results show that sorption of tracers to soil organic matter leads to an increase in the retardation factor (R) and hence, to an overestimation of the saturation of LNAPLs. A relation between the percentage of organic matter content and the corresponding percentage error in the estimation of NAPLs has been developed.
