Abstract

The research is intended to develop and verify a biological complex soil treatment process to treat and restore soil and groundwater which is contaminated with oil, heavy metals, and nutrients through experiments with the series of treatment process such as bioreactor, rolled pipe type of contact oxidation system(RPS), and chemical processing system. 5 microbial strains were separated and selected through experiment, whose soil purification efficiency was excellent, and it was noted that anion- and nonion-series of complex agent was most excellent as a surfactant for effectively separating oils from soils. Method to mix and apply selected microbes after treating the surfactant in the contaminated soil was most effective. The removal efficiencies of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH)-contaminated soil about 5,000mg/L and above 10,000mg/L were approximatly 90.0% for 28 days and 90.7% for 81 days by soil remediation system and the average removal efficiencies of BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N, and T-P in leachate were 90.6, 73.0, 91.9, 73.8, 65.7% by the bioreactor and RPS. The removal efficiency was above 99.0% by chemical processing system into cohesive agents.

본 연구는 생물학적 지상처리 토양정화공정을 기본으로 생물반응기, 롤형 접촉산화장치(rolled pipe type of contact oxidation system, RPS), 화학처리장치의 처리과정을 통해 유류, 중금속, 영양염류로 오염된 토양 및 지하수를 동시에 정화 복원할 수 있는 생물학적 복합토양정화공정을 개발 검증하고자 실시하였다. 실험을 통해 현장 토양 중에 있는 토양정화효율이 우수한 5종의 미생물을 분리 선발하였고, 토양으로부터 유류를 효과적으로 분리하기 위한 계면활성제로는 Anion과 Nonion계 복합제가 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었는데, 오염된 토양에 계면활성제를 처리한 후 선발된 미생물을 혼합해 적용하는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 토양정화조를 이용해 석유계총탄화수소(Total Petroleum hydrocarbon, TPH)로 오염된 토양을 처리한 결과, 5,000mg/L 내외의 저농도 오염시 28일간 90.0%, 10,000mg/L 이상의 고농도 오염시 81일간 90.7%의 처리효율을 나타냈으며, 토양정화조에서 배출된 침출수를 생물반응기로 1차 처리하고 롤형 접촉산화장치로 2차 처리한 결과, BOD 90.6%, $COD_{Mn}$ 73.0%, SS 91.9%, T-N 73.8%, T-P 65.7%의 평균 처리효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 이후 응집제를 통한 화학처리장치를 적용하여 중금속을 99.0% 이상 제거하였다.
