Abstract
Sediments from rivers, lakes and marine ports serve as end points for pollutants discharged into the water, and at the same time serve as sources of pollutants that are continuously released into the water. Until now, the contaminated sediments have been landfilled or dumped at sea. Landfilling, however, was expensive and dumping at sea was completely banned due to the London Convention. Therefore, this study applied contaminated sedimentation soil of 'Royal Palace Livestock Complex' as soil purification method. Soil remediation methods were applied to pretreatment, composting, soil washing, electrokinetics, and thermal desorption by selecting overseas application cases and domestically applicable application technologies. As a result of surveying the site for pollutant characteristics, Disolved Oxigen (DO), Suspended Solid (SS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP) exceeded the discharged water quality standard, and especially SS, COD, TN, and TP exceeded the standard several tens to several hundred times. Soil showed high concentrations of copper and zinc, which promote the growth of pig feed, and cadmium exceeded 1 standard of Soil Environment Conservation Act. In the pretreatment technology, hydrocyclone was used for particle size separation, and the fine soil was separated by more than 80%. Composting was performed on organic and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminated soils. TPH was treated within the standard of concern, and E. coli was analyzed to be high in organic matter, and the fertilizer specification was satisfied by applying the optimum composting conditions at 70℃, but the organic matter content was lower than the fertilizer specification. As a result of continuous washing test, Cd has 5 levels of residual material in fine soil. Cu and Zn were mostly composed of ion exchange properties (stage 1), carbonates (stage 2), and iron / manganese oxides (stage 3), which facilitate easy separation of contamination. As a result of applying acid dissolution and multi-stage washing step by step, hydrochloric acid, 1.0M, 1: 3, 200rpm, 60min was analyzed as the optimal washing factor. Most of the contaminated sediments were found to satisfy the Soil Environmental Conservation Act's standards. Therefore, as a result of the applicability test of this study, soil with high heavy metal contamination was used as aggregate by applying soil cleaning after pre-treatment. It was possible to verify that it was efficient to use organic and oil-contaminated soil as compost Maturity after exterminating contaminants and E. coli by applying composting.
하천, 호소 및 해양항만의 퇴적물은 수계로 배출된 오염물질의 종착점이면서 동시에 지속적으로 오염물질을 수계로 배출하는 오염원(source)으로 작용한다. 지금까지 오염퇴적물은 육상매립 또는 해양투기해왔던 것이 현실이었다. 하지만 육상매립은 고 비용, 해양투기는 런던협약으로 인해 전면 금지되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대상부지인 왕궁축산단지의 오염퇴적토를 대상으로 토양정화방법을 적용하여 연구하였다. 토양정화방법은 해외 적용사례와 국내 처리 가능한 적용기술을 선별하여 전처리, 퇴비화, 토양세척, 동전기, 열탈착을 적용하였다. 오염특성파악을 위한 대상 부지 조사결과 수질은 용존산소(Disolved Oxigen, DO), 부유물질(Suspended Solid, SS), 화학적산소요구량(Chemical Oxygen Demand, COD), 총질소(Total Nitrogen, TN), 총인(Total Phosphorus, TP) 이 방류수 수질기준을 초과하였고 특히 SS, COD, TN, TP는 기준을 수십 배에서 수백 배 초과하였다. 토양은 돼지사료의 성장을 촉진하는 구리, 아연의 농도가 높게 나타났으며, 카드뮴이 토양환경보전법 기준치 1지역을 상회하였다. 전처리기술은 하이드로사이클론을 활용하여 입도분리를 실시하였으며, 미세토양이 80% 이상 분리되어 선별효율이 높게 나타났다. 퇴비화는 유기물 및 석유계 총 탄화수소(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon, TPH) 오염토양을 대상으로 실시하였으며, TPH는 우려기준 이내로 처리되었고, 유기물의 경우 대장균이 높게 분석되어 70℃에서 퇴비화 최적조건을 적용하여 비료규격을 만족하였으나 비료규격에 비하여는 유기물함량이 낮게 분석되었다. 토양세척은 연속추출시험결과 Cd는 미세토에서 5단계인 잔류성(Residual)물질이 확연하게 존재하였고 Cu 및 Zn은 오염분리가 쉬운 이온교환성(1단계), 탄산염(2단계), 철/망간산화물(3단계)의 함량이 대부분을 차지했다. 산용출과 다단세척을 단계별로 적용결과 염산, 1.0M, 1:3, 200rpm, 60min이 최적 세척인자로 분석되었으며 다단세척실험결과 오염 퇴적토는 대부분 1단에서 토양환경보전법 우려기준을 만족하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 적용성 시험결과 중금속오염이 높은 오염토는 전처리 후 토양세척을 적용하여 처리토를 골재로 활용하고, 유기물 및 유류 오염토는 퇴비화를 적용하여 오염물질과 대장균을 사멸한 후 부숙토로 사용하는 것이 효율적임을 확인할 수 있었다.
