Abstract

The river maintenance processing has revealed that the river beds in Korea have been significantly polluted in various ways for the last two decades. Thus, the dredging, transportation and landfilling of these contaminated materials are attracting public attention these days. In this study, electrokinetic method was applied in order to accelerate the settling processes of clay particles in suspension and evaluate the factors affecting the settling behaviour. It has been found from the testing results that the settling velocity under the influence of electrokinetics was much faster than the gravitational one, and the water content of slurry soil reduced significantly after the electrokinetic processing. The initial water content of slurry soil should be one of the important factors affecting the settling behaviour as well as variation of water content, and hence the electrokinetic processing would be the cost-effective method for the field application.

최근 하천 정비를 통해 하상퇴적토의 오염과 이들 오염준설토의 운송 및 매립에 관한 관심이 고조되고 있으며, 준설토의 함수비를 감소하고자 다양한 노력이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 점토질 슬러리의 침강을 촉진시키기 위하여 동전기적 현상을 적용하였으며, 실내 실험을 통해 슬러리의 침강 촉진에 영향을 미치는 인자를 파악하고자 하였다. 실험결과 동전기적 침강의 경우 자연 상태의 중력 침강에 비해 입자의 침강속도가 현저히 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 함수비도 현저히 감소함을 확인하였다. 슬러리의 초기함수비 변화는 점토입자의 침강 및 압밀 거동에 중요한 영향을 미치게 되므로 현장 적용 시 효율을 판단하는 중요한 변수로 작용할 것으로 판단된다.
