Bacterial stain 3Y was isolated from a site that was contaminated with diesel for more than 15 years. The strain could grow on various petroleum using hydrocarbons as the sole carbon source. The strain grew not only on aliphatic hydrocarbons but also on aromatic hydrocarbons. 3Y grew on aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons hexane or hexadecane, and aromatic petroleum hydrocarbons BTEX, phenol, biphenyl, or phenanthrene. The strain showed aromatic ring dioxygenase and meta-cleavage dioxygenase activities as determined by tests using indole and catechol. Aromatic ring dioxygenase is involved in the initial step of biodegradation of aromatic hydrocarbons while meta-cleavage dioxygenase catalyzes the cleavage of the benzene ring. Based on a nucleotide sequence analysis of its 16S rRNA gene, 3Y belongs to the genus Sphingomonas. A phylogenetic tress was constructed based on the nucleotide sequences of closest relatives of 3Y and petroleum hydrocarbon degrading sphingomonads. 3Y was in a cluster that was different from the cluster that contained well-known sphingomonads. The results of this study suggest that 3Y has the potential to cleanup oil-contaminated sites. Further investigation is warranted to optimize conditions to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons by the strain to develop a better bioremediation strategy.

최근 들어 경제의 발전과 생활수준이 향상됨에 따라 악취는 소음과 함께 환경분야에 많은 민원을 야기하고 대기오염물질의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 특히 유황계 화합물을 대표하는 악취물질인 황화수소는 무색의 기체로써 부패한 계란 냄새가 나고 역치농도(Threshold Odor Value)가 0.00047ppm$_{v}$ 로 매우 낮은 농도에서도 취기를 감지할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 성질을 갖는 황화수소는 석유 화학공업이나 제지공업, 폐수처리장 그리고 폐기물 처리장 등에서 많이 발생하고 있다.(중략)

The significance of soil environment has been gradually increased because of petroleum leak accidents. Comparing with wastewater clean treatments and air pollutant controls, the soil purification requires a long-term process and it is very expensive. In this study, we analyzed the physicochemical properties of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminated in soil. This could be applied to deciding the source of petroleum when a soil contamination accident occurs.

휘발성유기화합물질 (Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs)은 오존층을 파괴시키는 염소화합물과 광화학 스모그를 형성하는 촉매로 작용하는 주요 대기오염 물질일 뿐만 아니라 VOCs 자체로도 인류의 건강을 위협하는 물질이다. 특히 휘발성유기화합물은 물질의 종류가 수십 종에 이르며 석유화학산업, 도료산업 등의 고농도 발생사업장과 상대적으로 낮은 농토수준이기는 하지만 일상생활에서 절하게 되는 자동차, 주유소, 세탁소 등의 시설을 통해 지속적으로 환경계에 배출되는 등 발생원이 다양하며 측정분석방법에 내재된 어려움으로 인하여 다른 일반적인 대기오염물질에 비하여 여러 가지 측면에서 적절한 관리가 힘든 것으로 알려져 있다.

방향족 화합물은 합성수지, 합성고무, 합성섬유 등의 석유화학제품의 원료와 2성분 또는 3성분 이상을 혼합한 도료공업에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이들 물질들은 공정상의 제조, 저장, 처리과정에서 고온, 고압의 조건에서 많이 노출되어 있을 뿐 아니라 취급과 사용 중에 부주의로 인한 폭발과 화재사고가 증가하고 있다. 그러므로 사고예방을 위해서는 취급하는 물질의 기본적인 위험 특성을 정확하게 파악하여 예방대책을 강구하여야 하므로, 인화성 액체의 경우에는 위험성의 지표인 인화점(Flash point)을 반드시 파악하여야 한다.

1. 서론 : 발효조를 통해서 생성되는 유기산은 주로 아세트산과 프로피온산으로 나타나는데 이는 배양액중에 2-3% 정도로 희석되어 있다. 이러한 유기산을 선택적으로 분리하여 농축시켜야만 제설제로 사용되는 유기산 염을 제조하는 공정에 적용할 수 있다. 일반적으로 유기산은 석유화합물로부터 얻어지는 것을 사용하여 왔는데 발효조를 통하여 얻어지는 유기산을 이용하는 경우 자원의 재활용을 통하여 얻어지는 생성물을 이용한다는 측면외에도 에너지를 절약할 수 있는 장점을 가질 수 있어서 에너지환경적인 측면에서 기대되는 공정이다. (생략)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of solids content and mixing speed in treatment of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils using a slurry-phase bioreactor. Performance results on slurry-phase bioremediation of diesel fuel contaminated soil were generated at the bench-scale level. The fate of TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) was evaluated in combination with biological treatment. Abiotic and biotic fate of the TPH were determined using soil not previously exposed to compounds in diesel fuel. The reactor volume for given throughput can be reduced by maximizing the solids content. Applications of 50% and 20% solids content(dry weight basis) were showed a little difference(57.5% : 61.6%) in biological TPH removal rate each other. Mixing and particle suspension are critical to desorption and biological degradation. In this standpoint, this study was performed using two mixing speed. When the reactor was operated at 70rpm, it had a better result in the particle suspension and TPH removal rate than the reactor with mixer rotated at 20rpm. In the reactor applied 20rpm, it was resulted in failure of particle suspension.

Over 60~70% of the domestic soil contamination have occurred by petroleum products. B T E X including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene and total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) have to be inspected for the contaminated soil by petroleum products. An accurate contamination analysis is necessary to estimate the are of contaminated soil and also establish an appropriate purification scheme. In this study, we analyzed a sectional TPH pattern for current domestic distributed petroleum products. Also, the TPH content was analyzed by compensating the defect of current Korea standard analytic methods for soil where the analytic range is just for $C_8{\sim}C_{40}$. The light distillate petroleum products such as gasoline and solvent 1 showed the maximum of 85% difference in the TPH content between the standard analytic and improved methods.

In this study, the applicability of alginate-immobilized Pseudomonas putida mt-2 KG1206 on the environments, contaminated with toluene analogs was conducted. Genetically engineered strain KG1206 produces light by direct (m-toluate, benzoate) and indirect (toluene, xylenes) inducers. The protocol for the alginate-immobilization was determined in terms of the cell to alginate ratio, solution, proper number of alginate beads, and other conditions. Maximum bioluminescences of five chemicals by immobilized strain were generally observed in following orders: m-toluate > p-xylene > toluene > o-xylene > m-xylene. In relationship between bioluminescence activity and inducer reduction, initial m-toluate (5 mM) in solution was removed approximately 48% of initial at 5 h exposure, showing continuous decrease of inducer chemical in solution. These results of study with alginate-immobilized beads would be useful, especially, for biomonitoring of contaminated environments with specific compounds, such as petroleum hydrocarbon compounds including toluene analogs.

부틸알데히드로 오염된 대상 부지에 Biosparging 공법의 현장 적용을 위해 적정 공기 주입 압력 조건을 도출한 결과, 주 오염층인 자갈질 모래층에 공기주입 가능 파괴압력(Pe)는 약 300mmAq로 측정되었으며 4,500mmAq 압력 조건에서는 용존 산소농도의 영향 반경이 약 3 m로 나타났다. 위의 조건을 적용하여 약 150일간 운전한 결과, 영양물질을 투입하지 않은 초기 90일 동안 최고농도 대비 약 90%가 저감되었으며 그 이후에 영양물질을 투입하여 초기 최고 농도 대비 96%가 저감되어 복원목표치인 50ppm을 모든 지역에서 만족시켰다. 또한 생분해 반응속도가 k=0.03/day로 나타나 휘발성이 낮고 생분 해도가 뛰어난 부틸알데히드로 오염된 자갈질 모래층에 Biosparging공법이 성공적으로 적용된 사례이다.
