Spills of $M/V$ Hebei Spirit on $7^{th}$ December 2007 caused a seriously damage to the ecosystem of Korean coast. Of these, microbial communities (i.e., attached benthic micro-algae) were reported to be sentive to the environmental change so it can be used for ecological risk assessment. Our experiment was designed to examine the ecological risk assessments for oil pollutant using benthic attached algal community on the artificial substrates of acrylic plates. Field monitoring in the culture system was conducted in Jangmok Bay. The abundances of attached micro-algae on artificial substrates gradually increased with increasing of sampling times. Among them, diatoms were the most important colonizer of coastal water, with the genera $Cylindrotheca$ and $Navicular$ most abundant. In particular, developed the culture system has correctly measured qualitative and quantitative abundance of attached micro-algae because same acrylic plates as artificial substrates were used. Thus, this culture system may be directly applied to the ecological risk experiments of microbial community structure from oil pollutants.

토양복원의 기술로 마이크로파를 이용할 시 휘발성물질((PAH)s 등)) 및 준휘발성((PCB)s 등) 물질 등을 처리하는데 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 휘발성 물질인 BTEX를 마이크로파를 이용하여 수분변화 및 전력변화에 따른 제거특성을 연구하였다. 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%의 함수율 변화에 따른 BTEX 제거율은 20%일 때가 제거율이 가장 높음을 제거상수를 통해 도출할 수 있었으며, 전력의 변화에 따른 BTEX 제거율 및 제거율에 도달하는 시간은 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 각각 다른 함수율이 마이크로파 처리 시 한계함수율에 도달하는 시간을 측정한 결과, 한계함수율에 도달하는 시간은 함수율이 10%, 20%, 30%일 때는 2 kW와 4 kW는 큰 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었고, 함수율이 50%일 경우는 한계함수율에 도달하는 시간이 4kW가 더 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 수분함수율에 따른 최적전력을 도출하면 수분함량이 $10{\sim}30%$ 시 2 kW가 경제적으로 나타났으며, 함수율이 50% 일 경우는 전력이 4 kW일 때 경제적인 것으로 나타났다.

Sensitivity analysis of hydrodynamic and reaction parameters in conceptual model reflecting aquifer characteristics of Korea was performed to evaluate the uncertainty in the predicted concentrations. Among the hydrodynamic input parameters, both hydraulic conductivity (K_x) and hydraulic gradient (I) affected transport behaviors of contaminants, and resulted in same convergence concentrations with continuous injections of contaminant. However, longitudinal dispervisity (α_L) affected both transport behaviors and the convergence concentrations of contaminants. Compared to the hydrodynamic parameters, growth kinetic and degradation parameters (μ_m & K_c) more significantly affected both transport behaviors and the convergence concentrations of contaminants, indicating those parameters had higher sensitivity indices causing the uncertainties of model predictions. Considering that the sensitivity indices of both hydrodynamic and reaction parameters were a function of transport distance of groundwater, the parameters with higher sensitivity indices, a priori, need to be investigated using conceptual model reflecting site-specific aquifer characteristics before field investigation. After determining the parameters with higher sensitivity indices, the detail field investigations for the selected hydrodynamic and reaction parameters were warranted to reduce the uncertainties of model predictions.

자연계로 유출된 유류 및 유기용매 등 비수용성액체는 토양공극사이에 존재하며 서서히 용해되면서 지속적인 수질오염원으로 작용한다. 본 연구는 유리로 제작된 다공성매체 실험장치를 이용하여 토양 공극사이에 위치한 비수용성액체의 용해현상을 시각화하였고, 이미지 분석기술을 이용하여 용해속도를 정량화하였다. 다공성매체 공극사이 TCE는 물의 유량을 빠르게 할수록 용해속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 TCE로 오염된 지역의 강우량이 많거나, 지하수 유속이 빠른 지역일 경우 토양내 TCE 제거는 용이하게 일어날 수 있지만, 용해된 TCE의 지하수 유입으로 증가한다는 점을 시사한다. 다공성매체 공극사이 TCE의 현미경 이미지 관측결과, 물의 유량이 빠른 경우 역시 TCE blob 수가 급격히 감소함을 확인하였다. 물의 흐름이 용이한 우선흐름경로에 존재하고 있는 TCE는 물과의 용이한 접촉으로 용해가 빠르게 진행되었다. 반면 정체구역에 존재하는 TCE의 용해속도는 매우 느리게 나타났다. 현장 토양에서도 동일한 현상이 일어날 것이므로 지하수 조사결과 TCE의 검출이 계속된다면, 토양 공극사이에 여전히 TCE가 존재하고 있음을 암시하므로 이에 대한 대책이 강구되어야 한다.

In-situ Air Sparging (IAS, AS) is a remediation technique in which organic contaminants are volatilized from saturated zone to unsaturated layer. This study focuses on the removal and interaction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and $CO_2$, and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) in saturated and unsaturated, and air space zone on the unsaturated soil surface. Soil sparging temperature of hot air has risen to $34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$ from $23.0{\pm}1.9^{\circ}C$ for 36 days. At the diffusing point, fluid TPH concentrations were reduced to 78.7% of the initial concentration in saturated zone when hot air was sparged. The TPH concentrations were decreased to 66.1% for room temperature air sparging. The amount of VOCs for hot air sparging system, in air space, was approximately 26% larger than constant air sparging system. The amount of $CO_2$ was 4,555 mg (in unsaturated zone) and 4,419 mg (in air space) when hot air was sparged was 3,015 mg (in unsaturated zone) and 3,634 mg (in air space) for room air temperature in the $CO_2$ amount. The removals of VOCs and biodegradable $CO_2$ through the hot air sparging system (modified SVE) were more effective than the room temperature air sparging. The regression equation were $Y=976.4e^{-0.015{\cdot}X}$, $R^2=0.98$ (hot air sparging) and $Y=1055e^{-0.028{\cdot}X}$, $R^2=0.90$ (room temperaure air sparging). Estimated remediation time was approximately 500 days, if final saturated soil TPH concentration was set to 1.2 mg/L application of tail effect.

The objectives of this study were to identify the characteristics of shallow groundwater from the oil-contaminated site for a long period and to evaluate the applicability of biopile technology to treat the soil excavated from it. The eight monitoring wells were installed in the contaminated site and pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP), Temperature and the concentrations of major ions and pollutants were measured. The VOCs in soil gas were monitored during biopile operation and TPH concentration was analyzed at the termination of the experiment. The pH was 6.62 considered subacid and EC was 886.19 ${\mu}S/cm$. DO was measured to be 2.06 mg/L showing the similar characteristic of deep groundwater. ORP was 119.02 mV indicating oxidation state. The temperature of groundwater was measured to be $16.97^{\circ}C$. The piper diagram showed that groundwater was classified as Ca-$HCO_3$ type considered deep groundwater. The ground water concentration for TPH, Benzene, Toluene, Xylene of the first round was slightly higher than that of the second round. The concentration of carbon dioxide of soil gas was increased to 1.3% and the concentration of VOCs was completely eliminated after the 40 days. The TPH concentration showed 98% remediation efficiency after the 90 days biopile operation.

The pilot scale biopile system was designed and operated for evaluation of bioremediation efficiency for petroleum contaminated soil. The pilot scale biopile consisted of biopile dome, aeration system and monitoring system and two biopiles were operated with nutrients and inoculum for more 100 days. The test pile A and B were analyzed with regard to pH, total carbon contents, water contents, nutrients (N, P) and TPH. The initial TPH concentrations for pile A and pile B were about 10,000 mg/kg and 2,300 mg/kg, respectively. After 100 days, the TPH contents decreased about 70% in the pile A and 30% in the pile B. Also, n-$C_{17}$/pristane and n-$C_{18}$/phytane ratios in all pile were significantly changed. The microbial densities in the pile A was increased by approximately $10^7$ CFU/g-soil~$10^8$ CFU/g-soil, but there was almost no changed in the pile B. The average biodegradation rates were calculated about 66.8 mg/kg-day in the pile A and 10.9 mg/kg-day in the pile B. Over the course of operation period, pile temperature was considered the major limiting factor for the efficiency of all biopiles.

The landfarming treatment for the remediation of the petroleum contaminated soil at the returned U.S. Military bases was investigated in this study. Specifically, the bioaugmentation performance using various commercially available petroleum-degrading bacteria was evaluated and the directions for enhancing the performance of the landfarming treatment were suggested. The environmental factors of the soils at the returned U.S. Military bases chosen for remediation indicate that the landfarming treatment can be used as the remediation technique; however, the addition of nitrogen or phosphorus is required. The lab-scale landfarming treatment tests using the model soil and the site soil showed that the degradation efficiency was greater with the model soil than the site soil and that the treatment performance was not affected by the number of bacteria present in the soil in the range of $10^6-10^{12}$ CFU/g. These results suggest that the successful landfarming treatment depends on the petroleum degradability of bacteria used and the environmental conditions during the treatment rather than the number of petroleum-degrading bacteria used.
