By using a newly developed Korean risk-based corrective action (K-RBCA) software (K-RBCA) and the RBCA Tool Kit, risk assessment was performed on a site that was contaminated with aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Eight chemicals including benzene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, naphthalene, benz(a) anthracene, benzo(b) fluoranthene, benzo(a) pyrene, and arsenic that exceeded the US EPA Soil Screening Level were chosen as the target pollutants. A conceptual site model was constructed based on the site-specific effective exposure pathways. According to the RBCA Tool Kit the carcinogenic risk of arsenic was larger than $10^{-6}$, which is the generally acceptable carcinogenic risk level. The K-RBCA estimated the same level of carcinogenic risk for arsenic. With the RBCA Tool Kit, the carcinogenic risk of benzo(a) pyrene was estimated to be about $1.3{\times}10^{-6}$. However, with the K-RBCA benzo(a) pyrene did not exhibit any risk. The inconsistency between the softwares was attributed to the different fundamental settings (i.e., medium division) between the two softwares. While the K-RBCA divides medium into surface soil, subsurface soil, and groundwater, the RBCA Tool Kit divides medium into only soil and groundwater. These differences lead to the different exposure pathways used by the two softwares. The K-RBCA considers the exposure pathways in surface soil and subsurface soil separately to estimate risk, however, the RBCA Tool Kit considers the surface soil and subsurface soil as one and uses the integrated exposure pathways to estimate risk. Thus the resulting risk is higher when the RBCA Tool Kit is used than when the K-RBCA is used. The results from this study show that there is no significant difference in the risks estimated by the two softwares, thus, it is reasonable to use the K-RBCA we developed in risk assessment of soil and groundwater. In addition, the present study demonstrates that the assessor should be familiar with the characteristics of a contaminated site and the assumptions used by a risk assessment software when carrying out risk assessment.

This study was performed to evaluate the applicability of pump and treat technology as well as to identify the changes of groundwater level by continuous pumping at the petroleum contaminated site. A total of 9 monitoring wells were installed at the site and the contaminant concentrations, TPH, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene, of groundwater were measured. With the results of the groundwater monitoring, a total of 9 wells were set up for pumping contaminated groundwater in 3 locations. The waste water treatment facility with a capacity of $10m^3/hr$ was installed in the site and operated for about 1 year. The concentrations of the contaminated groundwater from the 3 pumping wells were exceeded groundwater regulation for benzene and TPH. However, the effluent concentration of benzene and TPH was under the regulation showing the maximum level of 0.011 mg/L and 1.2 mg/L during the operation periods. Groundwater levels were decreased by continuous pumping and those were not recovered during the operation period. Groundwater levels of PW-1,2, PW-3,4,5,6 and PW-7,8,9 were decreased about 5 m, 0.7 m, 2 m, respectively. The hydraulic conductivity (K) of the region of PW-1,2, PW-3,4,5,6 and PW-7,8,9 was estimated to be $6.143{\times}10^{-5}cm/sec$, $2.675{\times}10^{-5}cm/sec$, $1.198{\times}10^{-4}cm/sec$. Groundwater level was seemed to be affected not by hydraulic conductivity but by morphological effect. These results show that the pump and treat technology has high applicability for the restoration of petroleum contaminated groundwater but needs continuous monitoring to prevent rapid groundwater drawdown.

최근 유류비와 도로혼잡의 증가, 환경오염에 대한 높은 관심으로 인하여 공급체인에서 수송부분에 대한 다양한 이슈가 제시되고 있다. 특히, 공급자와 소매상에 유리한 전략들이 운송회사 입장에서도 반드시 유리하지 않다는 이슈가 제시되면서 다양한 연구가 시도되기 시작하였다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 전통적인 공급체인분석 관점에서 벗어나 운송회사 입장에서 재고전략 및 네트워크 구성에 따른 공급체인의 운영특성을 파악하고, 그에 따른 운송회사의 운영환경을 해석하고자 한다. 분석방법은 가상의 공급체인을 구성하고, 각 네트워크(분산형, 집중형)구성에서 EOQ재고전략(Economic Order Quantity)과 POQ재고전략(Periodic Order Quantity)에 따른 배송차량의 운영특성(배송차량의 적재율, 소요대수, 운행시간 등)을 TranCAD프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 재고전략이 EOQ 재고전략에서 POQ 재고전략으로 바뀌면 운송회사가 보유해야 하는 배송차량과 운전자의 수를 줄일 수 있었으며, 차량 운행시간이 감소하였다. 또한 네트워크 구성이 분산형에서 집중형으로 변경되면 차량 적재율이 향상되고 차량 운행시간이 감소하였다. 즉, 운송회사 입장에서는 분산형 네트워크에서 EOQ 재고전략을 이용하는 것보다는 집중형 네트워크를 구성하고 POQ 재고전략을 이용하는 것이 유리하다는 사실을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 이러한 효과는 월 1,300만원의 고정비와 월 260만원의 변동비 절감효과를 가져왔다.

The main objective of this study is to assess the compatibility between Korean ministry of environment (KME) standard and ISO (KS I ISO) standard for the determination of BTEX and TPH content in soil. We carried out comparison analysis for both methods using CRM and matrix spiked samples. In case of GC-MS analysis for BTEX, we got statistically (significance level: 0.05) the same results from KME standard (ES 07600.1) and ISO standard (KS I ISO 15009). However, it showed statistically (significance level: 0.05) different results when TPH was analyzed by KME standard (ES 07552.1) and ISO standard (KS I ISO 16703). To clarify the reason why both methods produced different results for TPH content, we also did some additional experiments in terms of differences in extraction, clean-up and target hydrocarbon range. Extraction with polar and non-polar compounds mixed solvent (acetone+n-heptane) of KS I ISO 16703 showed higher extraction efficiency than with only non polar solvent (dichloromethane) extraction of ES 07552.1 by about 9%. While column type clean-up of KS I ISO 16703 showed the reduction in TPH content between before and after clean-up, batch type of clean-up of ES 07552.1 did not show any changes in TPH content through clean-up process. The target hydrocarbon range of ES 07552.1 and KS I ISO 16703 is $C_8{\sim}C_{40}$ and $C_{10}{\sim}C_{40}$, respectively. From this point of view, kerosene and JP-8 contaminated soil showed higher RPD (relative producibility deviation) values between results by both method than that of lubricant or diesel contaminated soil. The higher content of hydrocarbon ($C_8{\sim}C_{10}$) in kerosene and JP-8 played an important role in increasing RPD values in addition to the effects caused by different solvents and clean-up method. Consequently, it was concluded that both methods (ES 07552.1 and KS I ISO 16703) were not compatible.

The objectives of this study were to identify the characteristics of groundwater in the petroleum contaminated site and to evaluate the applicability of house-type landfarm facilities heated with briquette stoves in winter season. The six monitoring wells were installed at the site where pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature were all measured. Also groundwater contaminants, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene and total petroleum hydrocarbon, were analyzed twice. House-type two landfarm facilities ($12m{\times}40m{\times}4.8m$) each installed with four briquette stoves were constructed. During four rounds treatment process, VOCs, moisture, temperature were monitored and soil contaminants were analyzed. The pH was 6.37 and considered subacid and DO was measured to be 3.12 mg/L. The temperature of groundwater was measured to be $9.48^{\circ}C$. The groundwater contaminants were detected only in the monitoring wells within the contaminated area or close to it showing that the groundwater contaminated area was similar to the soil contaminated area. During the landfarm process, 73.3% of VOCs concentration in interior gas was decreased and moisture was lowered from 17.7% to 13.4%. In the morning, at 8:00 am, the temperature was decreased showing soil ($5.5^{\circ}C$) > interior ($4.8^{\circ}C$) > exterior ($3.5^{\circ}C$). In the afternoon, at 2:00 pm, the temperature was soil ($8.6^{\circ}C$) < interior ($9.9^{\circ}C$) < exterior ($11.5^{\circ}C$) with solar radiation. The temperature difference between interior and exterior was $0.7^{\circ}C$ in the morning, but it was $1.6^{\circ}C$ in the afternoon. A total of 130 days were taken for four round landfarm processes. Each process was completed within 33 days showing 80% of cleanup efficiency ($1^{st}$ order dissipation rate(k) = 0.1771).

연료유로 사용되는 석유제품은 각각의 품질기준, 등급, 사용용도에 따라 여러 종류가 있다. 국가별로 유류에 세금을 부과하는 정도에 따라 동일한 석유제품이라 하더라도 가격차이가 발생한다. 가격이 저렴한 비과세의 석유제품을 상대적으로 고가인 수송용 연료에 불법적으로 혼합하는 행위로 인하여 탈세, 환경오염, 차량고장 등의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 석유제품간 불법 혼합을 방지하기 위해 특정 석유제품에 미량의 식별제(Marker)를 법적으로 첨가하고 있다. 국내에서는 가정용 및 상업용 연료로 사용되는 등유를 자동차용 경유에 불법적으로 혼합하는 행위를 방지하기 위하여 식별제를 도입하여 사용하고 있으며, UV-Vis 분광광도계나 HPLC를 이용하여 식별제 함량을 정량적으로 분석하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 식별제 함량 분석을 위해 발색제를 첨가하거나 시료를 전처리하는 조작없이 GC-MS로 석유제품에 첨가된 식별제를 정성적 및 정량적으로 분석하는 방법을 개발하였다.

In this study, the TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) contamination and microbial ecological characteristics in petroleum-contaminated site were investigated through the correlation among the vertical TPH contamination distribution of the site, the geochemical characteristics, and the indigenous microbial ecology. The high TPH concentration showed in the vicinity of 3~4 m or less which is thought to be affected by vertical movement due to the impervious clay layer. In addition, the TPH concentration was found to have a positive correlation with Fe²⁺, TOC concentration, and the number of petroleum-degrading bacteria, and a negative correlation with the microbial community diversity. The microbial community according to the vertical distribution of TPH showed that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes at the phylum level were dominant in this study area as a whole, and they competed with each other. In particular, it was confirmed that the difference in the microbial community was different due to the difference in the degree of vertical TPH contamination. In addition, the genera Acidovorax, Leptolinea, Rugoshibacter, and Smithella appeared dominant in the samples in which TPH was detected, which is considered to be the microorganisms involved in the degradation of TPH in this study area. It is expected that this study can be used as an important data to understand the contamination characteristics and biogeochemical and microbial characteristics of these TPH-contaminated sites.

From early 2000, many researchers in the groundwater and soil environment remediation project tried to calculate the pollution level and pollution remediation cost and reflect it in the design. In addition, by identifying the movement characteristics of oil pollutants in the underground environment, many researchers tried to derive design factors necessary for pollution purification. However, although the test should be conducted in an area contaminated with oil, the toxicity and risk are too great for testing by deliberately leaking pollutants that are harmful to the human body. And as oil-contaminated areas are promoted by military units such as returned US military bases, there is a limit to access by the general public. In addition, since the indoor simulation test and the field application test have been carried out separately from each other, it was difficult to compare and review various simulation tests Therefore, in this study, PITT (Partitioning Interwell Tracer Test) and analysis methods were specifically presented through actual tests so that field workers could easily use them with the help of the military base and the Korea Rural Community Corporation Soil Environment Restoration Team. However, in order to directly reflect the distribution tracer test results in the pollution remediation design, it is necessary to reduce the analysis errors by comparing the analysis results of the existing soil pollution survey, physical exploration, and numerical modeling. In addition, it is judged to be cautious in the analysis because errors can easily occur due to various factors such as the type of oil at the polluted site, the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, and the skill of the researcher.

토양 세척법 중에서 수산화나트륨(NaOH)과 과산화수소(H$_2$O$_2$)를 이용한 토양세척의 주된 반응은 H$_2$O$_2$ 분해시 발생되는 산소기포가 토양에 흡착되어 있는 유류오염물질을 효과적으로 탈착 부상시킨다. 이로 인한 H$_2$O$_2$의 분해속도를 온도에 따른 반응속도 상수를 통해 증명하고, 운전인자를 최적화하기 위하여 NaOH 및 H$_2$O$_2$의 농도와 세척시간, 고액비(soil-water)의 영향을 살펴보았다. 토양세척시 NaOH 수용액상에서 H$_2$O$_2$의 분해속도는 농도에 대해 1차 반응이고, NaOH 0.1 M 이하의 농도에서 반응속도상수 k$_1$은 0.9439 $\times$ exp(-1376.82/RT), 이상의 농도에서 반응속도상수 k$_2$는 17.3588 $\times$ exp(-2320.06/RT)이었다. 아울러, NaOH는 일정농도 이상에서 H$_2$O$_2$ 분해를 촉진시키며, 토양세척 시 최적 NaOH/H$_2$O$_2$ 농도를 반응속도상수를 통해 확인하였다. 또한, 토양세척 시최적조건은 세척시간 15 min, 고액비 1 : 3, NaOH 및 H$_2$O$_2$의 농도는 0.25 M과 0.1 M이 적절하였다.
