Abstract

Carboxymethyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CMCD), as a biodegradable surfactant with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, has potential advantages of being applicable to the simultaneous treatment of multiple contaminated soils. In this study, the desorption behaviors of r adionuclides such as cobalt (Co), strontium (Sr), and cesium (Cs) from the soil contaminated with them were experimentally investigated and the effectiveness of CMCD as a desorbent was evaluated. The desorption equilibrium of used radionuclides could be achieved within 1~3 hr and the desorption ratio from kaolin was higher than that from natural soil. The addition of CMCD of 2 g/L increased the desorption ratio by 5~20 % and the desorption ratio of used r adionuclides was shown in the order of Co > Cs > Sr. The experimental desorption data were fitted successfully by pseudo-second order kinetic model and the desorption rate of the r adionuclides was shown in the order of Cs > Co > Sr. Hysteresis between adsorption and desorption of the r adionuclides, as shown in the order of Sr > Co > Cs, increased as the desorption rate decreased. Consequently, it could be considered that the desorption rate was one of the significant factors of the hysteresis. The addition of CMCD as desorbent increased the amount of desorbed radionuclides and decreased the hysteresis. However, the CMCD could not completely desorb the radionuclides from soils even though the excess of CMCD was added.

Carboxymethyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin(${\beta}$-CMCD)은 소수성과 친수성의 성질을 모두 가지고 있는 생분해성 계면활성제로 복합오염토양의 동시 처리에 적용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 코발트(Co), 스트론튬(Sr) 및 세슘(Cs) 등의 방사성 핵종 중금속으로 오염된 토양에서 이들의 탈착 거동을 살펴보고, 탈착제로서 CMCD의 효과를 평가하였다. 탈착속도 실험에서 Co, Sr 및 Cs 모두 1~3시간 이내에 탈착평형에 도달하였으며, 카올린에서의 탈착률이 자연토양에서 보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 탈착용액으로 CMCD를 2 g/L를 첨가한 경우 탈착률이 5~20 %가량 증가하였으며, 핵종 중금속별 탈착률은 Co > Cs > Sr 순으로 나타났다. 탈착실험 결과를 다양한 탈착속도 모델에 적용한 결과, pseudo-second order kinetic model을 가장 잘 따르는 것으로 나타났으며, 탈착속도는 Cs > Co > Sr 순으로 나타났다. 흡/탈착 간 이력현상은 Sr > Co > Cs 순으로 탈착속도가 느릴수록 이력현상이 커지는 것으로 나타나, 탈착속도가 흡/탈착 간 이력현상을 야기하는 주요 요인 중 하나로 판단되었다. CMCD의 주입으로 탈착량이 증가하고 흡/탈착 간 이력현상이 감소하는 효과를 보였으나, 과량 주입 시에도 토양에 흡착된 핵종 중금속을 완전히 탈착시키지는 못하는 것으로 평가되었다.
