The double sheeted permeable reactive barrier containing two different reactive materials can be applied to remediate the groundwater contaminated by nutrients and heavy metals. In this study, in order to evaluate the removal efficiency of contaminants including ammonium, cadmium and phosphate by double layered permeable reactive barrier containing zeolite and steelmaking slag, column tests were performed. In addition, nonequilibrium reaction in column tests was analyzed by two-site nonequilibrium advection-dispersion model. Column test results showed that zeolite is effective for removal of ammonium, while steelmaking slag is effective for removal of phosphate and cadmium. The sequential reaction of zeolite and steelmaking slag gave the better removal efficiency for ammonium.

Benzene, one of the aromatic hydrocarbons, can be degraded by physical, chemical and biological processes in aquifers. This study aimed at analyzing separately the three different forms of degradation by performing column tests. Column tests using KCl and benzene as tracers were conducted for four different cases: 1) no hydrogen peroxide and no microorganism, 2) hydrogen peroxide only; 3) microorganism only; 4) hydrogen peroxide and microorganism to investigate the sorption and degradation of benzene. The observed BTCs of KCl and benzene in all cases showed that the arrival times of the peaks of both tracers coincided well but the peak concentration of benzene was much lower than that of KCl. This reveals that a predominant process affecting the transport of benzene in a sandy soil is an irreversible sorption and/or degradation rather than retardation. Decay of benzene through sorption and degradation increased with the addition of hydrogen peroxide and/or microorganism. Dissolved oxygen decreased with the increase of benzene in all cases indicating that degradation of benzene was also influenced by dissolved oxygen. For BTCs with the addition of microorganisms (case 3 and case 4), microorganism showed much lower concentrations compared to the initial levels and an increasing tendency with time although concentrations of benzene returned to zero, indicating a possible retardation of microorganism due to reversible and irreversible sorption to the particle surfaces.

This paper proposes on-line based a deterioration diagnosis device for diagnosis pole transformers using tan$\delta$ and FFT(fast Fourier transform). We measured tan$\delta$ and temperature to diagnose pole transformer insulating oil, diagnostic results are processed by FFT. For measuring convenience, we use R/F(radio frequency) wireless data communication module operating by secondary voltage of pole transformer. We have voltage variation test and oil temperature variation test to prove usability of proposed diagnosis device. The result of this paper shows that the proposed device can be used as deterioration diagnosis device of pole transformers.

Rockfill zone is a main part of the CFRD for safety and it is important to evaluate the status such as shear wave velocity profile of the rockfill zone. A surface wave method can be used to evaluate the rockfill zone but general surface wave method can have a difficulty to be applied for valuation of rockfill zone because of a stiff slope of dam and background noise in the field. In this research, HWAW method is applied to evaluate the shear wave velocity of rockfill zone. The field test of the proposed method is simple and fast and the HWAW method can determine the reliable shear wave velocity profile under severe noise field condition. To show feasibility of the proposed method, numerical simulation and field tests were performed. Through the numerical and field tests, the applicability of the proposed method was shown.

본 연구는 소수성 유기물로 오염된 토양의 계면 활성제를 이용한 복원에 토양의 조성이 미치는 영향에 대한 것으로서, 토양의 조성에 따른 배치실험 및 주상실험을 실시하였다. 복원 정도는 clay 함량에 따라 대우 달랐으며, clay 함량이 34% 미만일 때 복원율이 높았음을 보여주었다. 또한 clay 함량이 68% 이상일 때에는 복원율이 매우 낮았다.

본 연구는 소수성 유기물로 오염된 지하수를 복원할경우, 식품등급의계면활성제와 NaOH 또는 NaCl 의 효과를 연구하기 위하여 주상실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 게면활성제와 NaOH의 혼합 사용이 가장 효과적이었으며, $Na^{+}$의 counter-ion 효과보다는 OH-의 pH효과가 더욱 중요한 인자가 됨이 밝혀졌다.

SASW 기법은 실험에서 얻은 실험분산곡선이 현장 지반 강성의 주상을 합리적으로 반영하므로 실험결과로부터 전단파 속도 주상도를 신속하게 결정할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, 실험결과를 해석하는 과정에서 현재까지는 지반의 층상구조를 수평으로 가정하는 근본적인 한계점을 지니고 있었다. 이는 지반이 수평층상구조가 아닐 경우 해석적인 해를 구하기 힘들기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소 수치해석을 통하여 경사진 지반에서 SASW 기법을 수행했을 경우 지반경사를 고려한 지반 조건이 실험분산곡선에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 이를 위하여 지반의 기울기와 표면파 전파 방향이 실험분산곡선에 미치는 영향과 파의 전파형상에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 경사지반에서 지반 조건이 변함에 따라 실험 분산곡선에 많은 변화가 나타났고, 경사진 지반에서 파의 전파현상은 수평 층에서의 파의 전파형상과는 전혀 다른 특성으로 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

Batch and column tests were performed to develop the design factors for permeable reactive barriers(PRBs) against the contaminated groundwater with ammonium from unsanitary landfill. Clinoptilolite, one of natural zeolites having excellent cation exchange capacity(CEC), was chosen as the reactive material. In batch test, the reactivity of clinoptilolite to ammonium was examined by varying the initial concentration of ammonium and the particle size of clinoptilolites. One gram of clinoptilolite showed removal efficiency about 80% against the ammonium except in very high initial concentration of 80 ppm, but the effect of particle size of clinoptilolite was not noticeable. Permeability test was performed for the specimens made of clinoptilolite and Jumunjin sand with 20 : 80 weight ratio. Flexible wall permeameter was employed far permeability test. The specimen containing the washed 0.42-0.85mm clinoptilolite showed the highest permeability of about $10^{-3}$/s. In column test, the reactivity of mixed materials against ammonium in flowing condition was examined with the landfill leachate. With the test results, clinoptilolite was found to be a suitable material for PRBs against the contaminated groundwater with ammonium.

In this study, applicability of electrical conductivity monitoring technique for containment barrier such as soil-bentonite wall was evaluated. Laboratory tests including permeability tests and column tests were performed to understand variations in electrical conductivity at different bentonite contents, hydraulic conductivities, and heavy metal concentrations. The electrical conductivity of compacted soil-bentonite mixtures was found to increase proportionally with bentonite content. Accordingly, the hydraulic conductivity of compacted soil-bentonite mixtures which decreases linearly with increasing bentonite content was found to have an inversely proportional relationship with the electrical conductivity. In column tests, electrical conductivity breakthrough curves and concentration breakthrough curves were simultaneously obtained. These results indicated that electrical conductivity measurement can be an effective means of detecting heavy metal transport at the desired locations within barriers and verifying possible contaminant leakage. Experimental results obtained from this study showed that the electrical conductivity measurement can be a promising tool for monitoring of containment barrier.
