토양과 지하수 오염은 오염원이나 그 정화 방법에 있어서 서로 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으며, 수질오염이나 대기오염과 달리 일단 한번 오염이 되면 오염 정화과정이 매우 복잡하고 어려우면서도 비용이 많이 드는 특성을 갖고 있기 때문에 오염원의 형태에 따른 통합된 관리 및 효율적 정화기술의 적용이 무엇보다 필요하다. 따라서 표준화된 오염조사 절차 (Environmental Site Assessment)를 통해 대상부지를 조사한 후, 확인된 오염원의 정화를 위한 기술을 선정함에 있어 필요한, 오염원·대상부지 특성 및 사업환경에 따른 정화기술에 대해 설명하고, 토양 및 지하수 통합 정화기술의 적용 예를 들어 토양과 지하수를 통합·관리함이 필요함을 살펴보고자 한다.

Most models for the simulation of multi-phase flow and multi-species transport employ the capillary approach which uses the Darcy's law for the representation of mass flux of each phase. The capillary approach based on the Darcy's law require many empirical coefficients with complex functional dependencies rather than rigrous mathematical and physical formulation. The shortcoming of the capillary approach cause the numerical errors in the simulations by the multi-phase flow and transport models. This study discuss some of the problems related with the use of models.

In this paper, the role of intermediate cover soils with respect to the leachate and gas flow is investigated from various field investigations and the hydraulic conductivity of the disposed waste is obtained using pumping and slug tests. From the results of field investigations, it was found that the flow of leachate and gas is prevented by the buried cover soils. The hydraulic conductivities of field pumping test and slug tests are well matched and stayed in the range of hydraulic conductivities of well compacted wastes in the literature.

The solvent flushing apparatus for soil remediation was manufactured. After the soil around nuclear facilities was sampled and was compulsorily contaminated by Co, the remediation characteristics by solvent flushing were analyzed. Meanwhile, one-dimensional solute transport within nonequilibrium sorption code was developed for modelling of the soil remediation, input parameters for modelling were measured by laboratory experiment. Experimental results are as follows : When water was used as a solvent, the higher was the hydraulic conductivity, the higher the efficiency of soil remediation was. When EDTA solution was used as a solvent, the soil remediation efficiency of EDTA solution showed higher than that of water.

최근 들어 국외에서는 오염된 지하수의 정화기술로써 0가 금속을 이용한 방법이 높은 잠재력을 가진 신기술로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 0가 금속중 나노크기(1-100nm)를 가진 0가 철입자를 이용하여 수중의 NO
$_3$  ̄를 탈질처리하는 실험을 행하였다. 본 실험에서 제조한 나노크기 0가 철입자는 상온상압의 환원적 조건에서 50, 100, 200, 400mg/$\ell$ 의 NO$_3$  ̄와 반응하여 반응시간 30분안에 95%이상 제거되는 높은 반응성을 보여주었다. 기존의 상업용 철입자(10-100$\mu\textrm{m}$ )를 이용한 NO$_3$  ̄의 제거결과에서 보여주는 다량의 철사용, 낮은 적용 오염농도, 그리고 낮은 반응속도등의 문제점에 비하여 나노크기 철 입자는 높은 오염농도범위에서도 적은 철 주입량과 짧은 반응시간 내에 매우 높은 제거효율(10-100배)을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 수중의 NO$_3$  ̄의 고속 탈질반응속도에 영향을 주는 중요한 변수는 반응에 참여하는 철 입자의 비표면적임을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 얻은 batch실험 결과를 바탕으로 NO$_3$  ̄로 오염된 지하수의 정화를 위한 현장 적용을 목표로 연속처리 공정의 설계를 위한 토대를 마련하고자 하였다. -
The headspace method has been acknowledged as a cost-effective and convenient method to analyze volatile organic compounds(VOCs) in soil. The headspace analysis is based on equilibrium partitioning of VOCs among water, air and soil in a closed system. However, the headspace method cannot be applied to soils where most of the VOCs remain sorbed even at high temperature. In this study, it was investigated how the sorption characteristics of VOCs varied with soil with different organic carbon contents and temperature. This study showed that all the VOCs were volatilized, not sorved, only in the soil with 5% organic carbon at 45
$^{\circ}C$ or higher. Some fraction of VOCs remained in soil with 8% organic carbon at$65^{\circ}C$ of higher. Most of the VOCs remained sorbed in soil with 12% organic content even at 95$^{\circ}C$ . This result suggested that the headspace method can be applied only to soils with little organic carbon content (less than 5%). In this case, 45$^{\circ}C$ seems to be high enough to volatilize all the VOCs from soil. Large particles still showed a significant sorption capacity for VOCs from soil. Large Particles still showed a significant sorption capacity for VOCs despite of their low level of organic carbon content. It was also shown that the organic carbon sorption coefficients (Koc) of VOCs varied with soils with different organic carbon content. This suggests that not only the organic matter content of soil but also the property of the organic matter in soil influence the sorption of VOCs to soil. -
본 연구에서는 유류 오염토양 복원을 위한 효율적인 세척공정을 구성하여 현장적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 토양세척공정은 co-current식 전세척장치와 counter -current식 세척조로 구성된다. 물이 주입되는 co-current식 전세척장치에서는 스크류 축의 회전력에 의한 토양 이송 및 스크류의 각 pitch 사이에 부착된 임펠러의 기계적 교반력에 의한 세척이 동시에 이루어진다. 전세척장치를 통과한 토양과 물은 세척조로 유입되어 세척용액과 반대방향으로 이동하게 된다. 세척조의 내벽에 부착된 나선형 웨어에 의해 적정 운전조건하에서 일정 크기를 기준으로 토양이 분리되며, 각 웨어 사이에 부착된 임펠러의 교반력에 의해 오염토양이 세척된다. 실험결과, 운전시 고려해야 할 주요 영향인자들은 전세척장치에서의 토양주입량은 1 kg/min, 진탕비는 1, 회전속도는 50 rpm에서 최대 세척효율(#4-, 83.6%)을 보였으며, 세척조에서는 토양.물 주입위치 15 cm, 회전속도 5 rpm, 경사각 6
$^{\circ}$ , 세척용액 주입유량이 0.8 L/min일 때 최대 세척효율인 97.9%(#4-)를 나타냈다. -
본 연구는 오염토양/지하수의 정화를 위하여 사용되는 계면활성제 교정기술의 보다 현실적인 평가를 위하여 토양에 흡착된 계면활성제에 대한 소수성 유기오염물인 Naphthalene과 Phenanthrene의 흡수현상에 대한 연구결과를 나타내었다. 음이온 계면활성제인 Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)와 중성 계면활성제인 Tween 80의 흡착곡선은 소수성 꼬리 (hydrophobic tails)간의 상호작용에 의하여 S-형 모양을 보이며 이들 흡착된 계면활성제는 Micelle로 존재하는 계면활성제에 비하여 유기오염물에 대한 보다 강한 흡수능력을 나타내었다. 결과에 나타난 흡수능력의 차이는 계면활성제가 흡착되어있거나 Micelle상태로 존재할 경우 다른 구조를 형성하기 때문이라 사료된다. 흡수된 계면활성제와 Micelle의 상호경쟁에 의하여 유기오염물의 부동성(immobility)을 나타내는 분배계수(distribution coefficient)는 계면활성제의 농도에 반비례하였다. 결론적으로 토양/지하수의 오염물 정화를 위하여 계면활성제 교정기술의 적용 시 고정상 (solid phase)에 있는 흡착 계면활성제에 의한 유기오염물의 지체현상 (retardation)을 고려하여야 한다.

The objective of this study is to investigate geochemical characteristics of mine wastes including tailings in various abandoned mines in Korea. Tailings and wastes were sampled in and around 39 metalliferous mines, and analysed heavy metal concentrations including Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn extracted by 0.1N HCl and aqua regia by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Measurements of paste pH and lime requirement were carried out to examine a general geochemical characteristics of the materials. Lots of mine wastes were characterized by very low pH values of 2 to 4 and high lime requirement to control neutralization of the wastes. In addition, elevated levels of heavy metals were found in various mine wastes extracted by both 0.lN HCl and aqua regia. Because the mine wastes can be dispersed into the downstream by clastic movement and wind-blow, it is necessary to control the materials with a proper method for their reclamation.

In order to identify the cause of ground water drawdown of a piezometer installed around the LPG storage cavern, parameter estimations were conducted by inverse and forward numerical models. An inverse model, SK-EST developed by SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd.(SKEC,1997) was performed to estimate the change of the hydraulic conductivity. It was verified by the commercial forward model, AQUA3D (VATNASKIL,1995). The simulation results showed that the hydraulic diffusivity of the rock mass between the piezometer and the cavern had been increased and the change rate of the hydraulic head had been abruptly increased in response to the change of the operation pressure. Finally the statistical analysis for observed data showed the increase of the change rate of the hydraulic head and thus proved the applicability of SK-EST.

In the present study, the design method of containment walls is proposed by utilizing an existing site. The selected remedy for the Source Area of Operable Unit 2 at Hill Air Force Base stipulated containment of the pure-phase trichloroethylene contamination. The in-place-mixed wall construction was selected because of the irregular topography, small area of the site, and the requirement to reach depths of greater than 90 feet below ground surface. Bench-scale compatibility studies were performed for the containment wall mix design on three commercial bentonite clays. The samples were subject to screening tests and long-term tests for evaluation of changed soil properties when exposed to the contaminated groundwater.

부산 지하수의 오염실태와 그 특성을 파악하기 위하여 1996년과 1997년에 분석된 지하수 수질자료 중에서 pH, TS, KMnO
$_4$ 소비량, Cl, SO$_4$ 등을 통계분석 하였다. 각 성분의 평균치는 pH가 모두 7.3, TS는 216.0 mg/$\ell$ 와 242.3 mg/$\ell$ , KMnO$_4$ 소비량은 2.6 mg/$\ell$ 와 6.3 mg/$\ell$ , Cl은 35.7과 50.1mg/$\ell$ , SO$_4$ 는 25.4와 33.9mg/$\ell$ 이다. 2년 동안 pH의 음용수 기준치 초과 비율은 0.55와 0.47%, TS는 1.89와 2.50%, KMnO$_4$ 소비량은 0.73과 1.17%, Cl은 1.41과 2.18%, 그리고 SO$_4$ 는 0.37과 0.86% 이다. 따라서 성분별로 비교해 볼 때, pH의 음용수 기준치 초과비율이 가장 적고, Cl의 초과비율이 가장 크다. Cl 및 SO$_4$ 이온의 음용수 기준치(각각 100 mg/$\ell$ , 200mg/$\ell$ ) 초과지점과 이 이온들의 평균치보다는 훨씬 큰 100 mg/$\ell$ 이상되는 지점들의 분포를 분석한 결과, 해안가보다는 내륙에 더 많이 초과지점들이 분포한다. 따라서 부산지하수는 해수에 의한 영향보다는 내륙에서 생활하수나 기타원인(공장폐수, 오염된 하천수, 폐기물 매립 등)에 의한 오염이 훨씬 큰 것으로 보인다. 1996년에 5개 성분의 음용수 기준치 초과비율은 5.06%이고, 1997년의 초과비율은 6.87%로 전년도에 비하여 약간 증가하였다. 그러나 부산이 바다에 접하고 또한 인구과밀 지역임을 고려할 때, 부산의 지하수 수질은 양호한 편이다. 따라서 앞으로 부산 지하수의 보전 및 관리가 적절하게 진행된다면 부산에서 지하수는 시민의 생활용수로서의 역할을 증대해 나갈 수 있을 것이다. -
NAPL이 다핵방향족화합물의 하나인 phenanthrene 의 생분해에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. Pseudomonas putida CRE7 을 이용한 실험에서 NAPL 의 첨가로 인한 가장 큰 차이는 미생물의 소수성의 변화였다. 소수성이 증대됨으로써 phenanthrene 의 가용성이 증대되었으며, 이로 인해 더 많은 양의 오염물 분해가 이루어졌다. 생물학적 분해의 관찰은 발생되어지는
$^{14}$ $CO_2$ 의 radioactivity 측정을 통해 이루어졌으며, 미생물의 소수성 측정은 bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH) assay 를 이용하였다. -
The goal of this study is to investigate the potential application of triboelectrostatic separation process for removing unburned carbon from fly ash. The process utilizes the difference in electrical charging characteristics between the organic material (carbon) and the mineral matter (fly ash). In the present work, dry separation tests have been conducted on Samchunpo fly ash samples using a bench - scale analytic separator. The test variables studied include air rate, feed rate, electric field strength, particle size, charger material and length, etc. The best separation results were obtained at the air rate 501/min, feed rate 15 g/min and voltage 15 ㎸. The fly ash with carbon content below 1 % was obtained with over 65% recovery.

$_3$ 형에서 Ca-Cl(SO$_4$ )형으로 전반적으로 약산성화 되어있고,$K^{+}$ , Cl$^{-}$ , NO$_3$ $^{-}$ 오염이 상당히 진행되어 70 %이상이 음용수로 불가능한 상태이다. 군집방법에 의하면 신선한 물과 오염된 물사이에 뚜렷한 경향의 차이를 보인다. 천부지하수의 주요 오염원은 각가정에 있는 재래식 화장식, 생활하수, 가축의 축사, 비료등으로 보인다. 심부지하수는 알카리성의 Na-HCO$_3$ 형에서 Na(Ca)-HCO$_3$ 형의 화학적 유형이며, 2 TU 이하의 삼중수소 함량으로 1950년대 이전에 함양된 비교적 오랜 물-암석 상호반을 거친 물로 판단된다. 반면 천부형 지하수는 1950년대 이후에 충전된 상당히 젊은 연령의 지하수로 보인다.$^{18}$ O/$^{16}$ O, D/H 환경동위원소 조성값으로 볼 때 심부지하수의 함양지역은 고도의 효과를 보인다. 이 연구결과는 농촌지역의 지하수 수질 오염에 대한 하나의 사례연구로 향후 전국을 대상으로 한 농어촌지역의 지하수 오염연구에 기본방향을 제시하는데 의의 가 있을 것이다. -
Chemical analysis, measurement of pumping rates of 60 production wells and depth to water tables of 57 monitoring wells were carried to protect depletion of water resources and deterioration of water quality for the commercial portable ground-water. Borehole depth of production well averages 149m(31 boreholes), casing depth is 28m(29 boreholes), production rate is 70
$m^3$ /day and depth to water table of monitoring well is 23.26m, respectively. The geology of 60 wells can be divided into Daebo granite(20), Okchun metarmorphic complex(18), Precambrian granitic gneiss(15), Bulguksa granite(4), Cheju volcanics(2), Cretaceous sedimentary rock(1). Average electrical conductivity and pH are 152$\mu$ S/cm, and 7.35, respectively. The contents of major cation and anion predominantly$Ca^{2+}$ >N$a^{+}$ >M$g^{2+}$ >$K^{+}$ and HC$O_{3}$ $^{-}$ >S$O_{4}$ $^{2-}$ >Cl ̄>F ̄. Water type is predominantly$Ca^{2+}$ -HC$O_{3}$ $^{-}$ (81.7%). It's possible that water chemistry of some wells were affected not only by the geology of boreholes penetrated but by inflows of surface water or shallow ground-water. Therefore, it is strongly necessary to steadily monitor the water quality and hydrogeologic conditins of production wells.ells.ls.ells. -

A chemical has been aging in soil environment is more less bioavailable than freshly added chemical. The amount of bioavailability of the aged chemical is different by bacterial strains. The difference could be depend on physiochemical properties of each strain. Phenanthrene was employed as an aged chemical. Seven bacteria were isolated from activated sludge and petroleum disposed soil. These strains were able to degrade phenanthrene and to grow using phenanthrene as a sole carbon source. According to the result of materialization and chemical extraction experiment, the bioavailable amount of aged phenanthrene which has been aged in Lima loam is different by each bacteria. Several physiochemical properties of each strain were tested to certify correlation with their different amount of bioavailability.

현재 세계적인 토양환경복원의 추세는 단기간의 높은 처리효율을 기대하는 장치위주의 복원기술적용에서 좀 더 처리시간은 걸리나 저비용의 효율적인 처리기술선택으로 옮겨가고 있다. 이는 지금까지 무리한 투자에서 발생한 부작용을 최소화하기 위해서 취해지고 있는 변화로 식물을 이용한 환경복원기술(phytoremediation)은 이러한 변화에 가장 잘 부응하는 발전 가능성이 매우 높은 미래 복원기술 가운데 하나이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 phytoremediation을 이용하여 디젤로 오염된 토양을 복원하고자 하였다. 먼저 대상오염물에 대한 정화능을 나타내는 식물을 선별하기 위해 알팔파, 옥수수, 피, 물피의 오염농도별 생장 률을 살핀 결과 알팔파가 오염농도에 따른 성장저해를 가장 덜 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 알팔파의 발아 test를 거친 후 실제상황을 모사하기 위한 column test를 실시하여 디젤의 제거효율을 살펴보았다. 1)외부로부터 pipe line을 따라 공기를 주입하여 산소를 보충한 처리구와 2)알팔파를 심은 처리구, 3)알팔파와 공기를 넣어준 처리구를 설계하여 디젤의 제거과정을 알아본 결과 제거효과가 가장 높은 처리구는 공기와 알팔파를 함께 넣어준 처리구였다. 이를 통해 유류로 오염된 토양에서 산소가 미생물활동에 커다란 제한요인이라는 것과 공정에 공기주입구를 장착함으로써 식물만으로 처리할 때 대두되는 시간적 제약의 문제를 다소 경감시킬 수 있음이 밝혀져 앞으로 이의 활용가능성이 주목된다.

The Anyang river drains a highly polluted industrial area and enters the lower part of Han river. In this preliminary study for the comprehensive understanding of geochemical behaviour of elements in the stream sediments and its implications on the river chemistry and ecology, major and trace elements in stream sediments, suspended solids and stream water were analysed to look into elemental enrichments and elemental behaviour with distance from upper part of the stream. Chemical analyses of the stream sediments show enrichements of heavy metals including Cr, Zn, Ni, Co between 10 to 100 times. Other trace elements, Cd, Pb and As are also enriched between several to 10 times, based on relative ratio with Al in fresh rock. Chemical analyses of the sediments, suspended solids and water show indications of anthroporgenic impact for the heavy metal accumulation. It was nortworth Hg is detected between 2 and 4 ppb in the water.

As grouting materials for ground improvement, silicate materials such as water glass, silica-sol and so forth are used worldwide. However, they may pollute underground water. In this study, fish poison test(Korean standard industrial code KS M 0111) which estimates toxicity for fish is applied to evaluate the toxic effect by grouting materials. From the test result of the sample made of LW, LC50(Median Lethal Concentration) reaches within 24 hours. In case of the silica-sol, it does not even in 96 hours. Therefore, we can conclude that the sililca-sol grouting method is more free from the danger of underground water pollution. From the result that the mortality of fish under the condition of pH 8.6 is 0% within 96 hours, the groundwater can be saved by controlling pH below 8.6 for the grouting in the field.

The practice of the construction and management of the underground petroleum storage facilities in Korea was investigated extensively, and the problems were identified. The advanced technologies in the U.S.A was comparatively studied. Considering the effectiveness of leak prevention and technology applicability, the following measures were suggested. To prevent corrosion of the tank, a clad tank, an interior-lining tank, or a double-wall tank was appropriate and appeared to be most cost effective. For piping, non-metalic material was suggested. To prevent spill, a catchment basin can be effective. For monitoring of leak, construction of more than one of one or combination of an automatic leak-detection device, a vapor-detection system, a ground water-monitoring system, and a double-wall detection system was recommended.

The effects of surfactants affecting polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon(PAHs) solubility and biodegradation in soil slurry were investigated. The critical micelle concentration(CMC) values of surfactants used in this study were 12.7mg/L(Brij 30), 13.4mg/L(Tween 80), 13.6mg/t(Triton X-100). The solubility of PAH increased as the Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance(HLB) value of surfactant decrease. At surfactant biodegradation and toxicity experiement using respirometer, Brij 30 did not show any toxic effect and substrate inhibition upon the level of 1.5g/L. Also, biodegradation of Brij 30 gave no reduction on the phenanthrene biodegradation rate. When the desorption rate of phenanthrene between sand and clay is compared, lower percentage of phenanthrene was desorbed at clay because of the larger surface aera and higher organic content of clay. At the biodegradation experiments of phenanthrene in soil slurry phase, more than 90% of initial phenanthrene adsorbed onto both sand and clay were biodegraded by phenanthrene- acclimated cultures.

Bioremediation techniques have proved to be effective for restoring petroleum-contaminated soils. however some limitations still exist, especially biodegradation of hydrophobic organic compounds(HOCs) in soil is limited by their low solubility and sorption to solid surfaces. The principal objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of biosurfactant sophorolipid on the biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soil. Experimental results showed that sophorolipid was not toxic to the HOC-degrading bacteria and enhanced biodegradation of HOCs in soil better than synthetic surfactants. when these models were treated with 1000mg/soil kg sophorolipid.

The efficiency of removing cadmium, copper, and lead from a contaminated soil of abandoned metal mine was studied in a laboratory investigation where citric acid were used to extract the metal from the soil. The contamination level of Pb, Cu in the soil A were 875.5, 667.5mg/kg respectively. The mobility and bioavailability of the metals in soil were also estimated by Sequential Chemical Extractions. Citric acid were examined for its potential extractive capabilities. Concentrations of the acid examined in this study ranged from 0.025 to 0.15M. The pH of the suspensions and S/S ratio in which the extractions were performed ranged from 2.4 to 8.1, and from 2.1:1 to 20:1. Results showed that the removal of contaminant using citric acid was pH and S/S raton dependent.

Geochemical study was carried out to find out the distribution of metals and cyanide in soil in the vicinity of the abandoned Keum-Jung mine. Chemical analysis showed that content of As in soil around tailings exceeded 15mg/kg, Korean standard of soil contamination in the farm land. That means the contamination of soil by As is due to input of tailings. According to total decomposition of tailings, As was highly concentrated in tailings. However the water in tailings impoundment was changed to acidic and contaminated by metal and sulfate because the tailings in the top of the tailings impoundment had been oxidized. Acid mine drainage contaminated the water course in the vicinity of the paddy soils.

토양내에 있어 중금속의 총량 분석만으로는 오염 토양에 대한 환경 평가를 위한 충분한 자료가 되지 못한다. 또한 중금속의 토양내 위해성은 중금속과 토양과의 화학적 상호작용에 의해 결정되기 때문에 중금속의 화학적 형태를 규명하는 것은 토양 환경에 있어서 그들의 이동성과 거동 특성을 평가하는데 중요한 자료가 된다. 연속 추출법은 구봉 광산의 광미로 부터 Cd, Cu, Pb을 화학적 형태에 따라 분리하고, 인위적으로 중금속을 포화시킨 광미와 두밭토양에 있어 중금속의 토양내 거동 특성을 예측하기 위하여 이용되었다. 광미중 Pb의 대부분은 Fe-Mn oxide, carbonate의 결합 형태로 존재하였으며, Cu와 Cd은 각각 71.8%와 42.9%가 유기물, carbonate의 결합형태로 존재하였다. 상당량의 Cd(94.9%), Cu(95.1%), 그리고 Pb(85.8%)은 토양내 잠재적으로 이동 가능한 형태로 존재하였다. 유성과 논산의 밭토양 에 가해진 Cd는 대부분 이동성이 가장 높은 치환태로 존재하였으며, 유성과 논산 토양에서 각각 67.9%와 93.2%가 치환태로 존재하였다. 토양에 가해진 Cd, Cu, Pb은 대부분 이동이 용이한 형태로 존재하였으며, 토양과의 결합세기는 Pb > Cu > Cd 순으로 감소하였다.

Leakage of hydrocarbon compound from underground storage tank has been a significant issue to the hazard of environmental contaminants. It is therefore necessary to develop the measurement technique of hydrocarbon compound concentration. In this study, the possibility of TDR application to measure concentration of hydrocarbon compound, especially diesel, in a sandy soil was investigated. Experiments were conducted in two different conditions. The first one was to measure the resistances of the soil columns packed according to the various ratios of tab water and diesel content in the total voids. The other was to measure the resistance of the soil under the flow condition where diesel oil was allowed to infiltrate into the KCl-saturated soil column. The experimental results showed that there exists a significant relationship between oil% and TDR-measured resistance. This suggests that TDR can be an effective device to measure the concentration of hydrocarbon compound in a soil.

Using of geosynthetics with linear materials(sand, gravel, clay soil) is rapidly increased in landfill. With geosynthetics, geotextiles often expose to solar radiation(Ultraviolet) on long terms during the installation. In this paper, the results will represent the strength retention rate and tensile retention rate of geotextiles between outdoor exposed and protected by 15cm thickness of soil. As a result of cumulating solar radiation in geotextiles was increased, the strength retentions rate of P.P(500g/
$m^2$ ), P.P(700g/$m^2$ ) and P.P(1000g/$m^2$ ) were decreased and the lower weight of unit area of geotextiles, the faster decrease of strength retention rate. P.E.T(600g/$m^2$ ) was showed a distinctive trend that the strength retention rate increased. The tensile retention rate of tested geotextiles was decreased during the simulation. However, the strength and tensile retention rate of geotextiles covered by soil had changed insignificantly. Therefore, it can surmise that the soil covering will help geotextiles to be protected from UV effecting -
Experimental studies were carried out to investigate water diffusion in unsaturated compacted bentonite for a landfill of hazardous wastes. Water content distributions were measured and water diffusion coefficients were determined when the dry densities of compacted bentonite were in the range of 1.4 - 1.8 g/㎤. Resaturation times were also calculated to analyze the ability of the compacted bentonite to retard water movement. The results obtained were as follows: Diffusion model described properly the water migration in unsaturated compacted bentonite. Water diffusion coefficients ranged from 4.30
$\times$ 10$^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$ /sec to 1.93$\times$ 10$^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$ /sec, and decreased with increasing the dry density. The dry density of compacted bentonite was found to be an important factor to control the resaturation time by water. This study suggests that the domestic compacted bentonite should be a good barrier material against water movement in a landfill of hazardous wastes. -
Environmental pollution is continuously increasing with the economic growth and industrial development. With this trend, soil and groundwater pollution problem has been surfaced as important social issues. Recently, Korean government promulgated the Soil Environment Conservation Act. But there are many problems to control sound soil quality management. Anthropogenic source of pollution such as waste landfill, pesticides, fertilizer, underground storage oil tanks is important as well as natural source such as acid rain and forest fire. The regulation should be expanded to include groundwater preservation as well as soil quality, because soil pollution is closely related to groundwater pollution. Therefore, legal regulations must be expanded to these facilities and take into account technical feasibility and finance.

Open dump causes groundwater and soil contamination by leachate, air pollution by LFG (Landfill Gas). In this paper, in order to improve landfill researches which have been done about reduction of high leachate level and LFG collection in the Kimpo landfill separately, the effect of simultaneous flowing of leachate and LFG has been Studied. The HYLGS (Hanyang Leachate Gas Simulator) used in this study is a 3D, 2-phase, transient FDM model which can be applied to venting trenches in a landfill. From present numerical analysis it can be concluded that all the pressures of the Kimpo landfill grid system are almost the same and their maximum value in the center grid block of the system is approximately 26 m
$H_2O$ (2.52 atm), that because the pressures of venting trench layer situated in the middle of the landfill have the lowest values and equal with air pressure, the venting trenches play an important role in landfill stabilization, that the flow of gas will be more difficult as time goes by owing to the increase of LGR(Leachate and gas ratio). -
Air sparging system is a kind of in-situ bioremediation method in the contaminated ground water. When Air sparging, the both of water circulation and oxygen transfer happend in the same time. The hydraulic differential head is zero at the middle height of well, is negative below the height and is possitive above the height. Hydroraulic head gradient is proportioned to air superficial velocity in the well. But over 24m/min of the superficial velocity, the hydraulic head gradient increase little.

This research was performed to check the transport characteristics of heavy metals in contaminated soil, that is, the influence of humic acid and phosphate on transport characteristics of heavy metals was studied. From the results of column mode experiments about heavy metal behavior, the order time to reach breakthrough and equilibrium was soil + humic acid( 20g ) > soil + humic acid ( 5 g ) > soil without Humic acid addition > soil+humic acid( 50g ). It is because the dissolved organic carbon content increased as the soil organic matter content increased. As the phosphate increased, so did the time to reach breakthrough and equilibrium. The order of time was soil + phosphate( 50 mg ) > soil + phosphate( 20 mg ) > soil . phosphate( 10 mg ) > soil without phosphate addition. It is because the phosphate ion worked as alkalinity donor and the calcium ion co-injected worked as the accelerator of coprecipitation of heavy metals.
