Electrical conductivity (EC) is a major indicator of soil salinity. Measurement of EC in saturation-paste extract of soil (ECe) is a standard way to evaluate soil salinity. However, many of the data on soil salinity have been obtained by measuring the EC of 1:5 soil-water extract (EC1:5) or salt percentage which is calculated from EC1:5 by multiplying a conversion factor. We analyzed 90 soil samples collected from 9 reclaimed tidelands in Korea, and derived relationships between ECe and dilution factors (DF1:5) which can convert EC1:5 to ECe in 2 soil textural groups at 5 salinity levels. Regression equations between ECe and DF1:5 were DF1:5 = 1.3624In(ECe) + 5.1386($r^2=0.37^{***}$) for soils of more than 50% silt content, DF1:5 = 1.9505In(ECe) + 5.3679($r^2=0.66^{***}$) for soils of less than 50% silt content. And the relationship for all soils investigated was DF1:5 = 1.4001In(ECe) + 5.4865($r^2=0.51^{***}$). From the relationships, conversion factors for calculation of ECe from EC1:5 of salt percentage data were estimated for soils of different textures and salinity levels.

This study was performed to evaluate the heating characteristics of soils for the application of electrical resistance heating process combined with soil vapor extraction. Laboratory tests were conducted to find out optimum heating conditions by the adjustment of electrical supply and electrode. Results show that fine soil particles are more efficient for electrical heating. As water content of soil increases, more efficient electrical heating is observed. However, as the soil is saturated with water above the soil porosity, decrease in the heating efficiency is observed. The higher the voltage, is and the shorter the distance between the electrodes is, the better the heating efficiency is. The soil contaminated by fuel is also more efficient than non-contaminated soil in electrical resistance heating. From the relationship between the intial electrical current and the conductivity obtained in this study, soil temperature by electrical heating can be estimated.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the soil chemical properties and soil bacterial community of the cropping system for Cnidium officinale Makino. METHODS AND RESULTS: The bacterial community was analyzed for the relative abundance and principal coordinated analysis (PCoA analysis) by using by Illumina Miseq sequencing. The correlation analysis between soil chemical properties and soil bacterial community were analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation and DISTLM analysis. Soil bacterial community (phylum and class) showed two distinct clusters consisting of cluster 1 (first cropping) and cluster 2 (continuous cropping) from 2 different cultivation methods of Cnidium officinale Makino. PCoA and DISTLM analyses showed that soil pH and Ca significantly affected soil bacterial community in cultivation area of Cnidium officinale Makino. In addition, Spearman's rank correlation showed significant correlation between relative abundance (Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria) and soil factors (soil pH and Ca). CONCLUSION: The results of this study were considered to be important for determining the correlation between soil properties and soil bacterial community of the cropping method for Cnidium officinale Makino. Furthermore, the results will be helpful to investigate the cause of continuous cropping injury of the Cnidium officinale Makino by examining the changes of soil properties and soil bacterial communities.

Railway-contaminated soil is categorized by total petroleum hydrocarbon(TPH)-related contamination and heavy-metal contamination. The sources of TPH are diesel and lubricant. In this study, the feasibility of soil washing, chemical oxidation and ultra-sonication were investigated to treat lubricant-contaminated railway soil. tergitol, a non-ionic surfactant, was investigated as a washing agent. However, it is not effective to remove lubricant from soil even though tergitol is most effective washing agent for diesel-contaminated soil. Addition of alcohols with surfactant enhanced slightly washing efficiency of the lubricant-contaminated soil. To remediate railway-contaminated soil, source of pollution should be considered.

This study was aimed at the detection of 40 semi-volatile organic base/neutral compounds from soil among 129 priority pollutants listed by EPA. Two extraction procedures, sonication extraction and Soxhlet extraction, were studied as a extraction and concentration method for priority pollutants in soil. Extracts were analyted by GC/MS-SIM(selected ion monitoring). The analytical methods were tested by standard compounds spiked into blank soil. Accuracy and precision of the methods were measured by calculation of mean recovery and mean relative standard deviation. And the method detection limits were estimated.

TXRF is a powerful technique for the soil sample analysis due to its ability to conduct quantitative analysis of powder sample without complicated pre-treatment processes. The conventional internal standard method used for this technique suffers from relatively low accuracy because of varying matrix effects of soil. In order to improve the accuracy, external standard method was applied to analyze two types of soil samples; acid-dissolutionized soil solution and detergent-suspended soil powder. Individual ICP-AES/MS grade standards were mixed, diluted and measured to create standard curves, but applying these curves for analyzing the soil solution sample did not make any improvement in comparison with the internal standard method. On the other hand, standard curves were created with using standard soil powders for the analysis of soil powder samples, and we found that this method increased the accuracy significantly relative to the internal standard method. Especially, Al, Fe, K, Ca, Ti, Ba, Mn, Sr, Rb, Cu was measured with relatively high accuracy (relative error = ${\pm}20%$).

산성침출수에 의한 광산폐기물 매립지 근처의 지하 환경의 오염 및 대처 방안의 효과를 수치적으로 예측하였다. 이를 위하여 지하토양에서 Darcy 법칙을 사용한 침출수의 흐름과 이산-분산에 의한 오염물질의 이동현상을 예측하기 위하여 Galerkin 유한요소법을 활용하였다. 토양오염의 지연을 위하여 석회석 차수막을 연직형과 수평형을 도입하여 그 효과를 조사하였다. 수평차수막에서의 수착이 오염물질의 이동을 지연시키는데 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 연직차수막은 지하수의 우회유동으로 인한 오염물질의 확산이 가중되고 있는 것으로 예측되었다. 전반적으로 침출수의 흐름은 광산매립지 제방 근처에서 강하게 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 근거로 차수막의 효과적인 설치방안이 고안되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

In this study, the feasibility of soil washing, chemical oxidation and sonication was investigated to treat lubricantcontaminated railroad soil. Tergitol, a non-ionic surfactant, was used as a washing agent with or without iso-propyl acohol as a cosolvent. However, it was not effective to remove lubricant from soil even though tergitol was the most effective washing agent for diesel-contaminated soil. The cosolvent reduced the overall washing efficiency. Chemical oxidation removed 30% of lubricant from contaminated soil. Soil washing after chemical oxidation extracted additionally 16-17% of lubricant. Sonication enhanced-soil washing showed enhanced overall efficiency of soil washing. Lubricant-contaminated soil should be remediated by the other technology used for diesel-contaminated soil.

토양수분(soil moisture)은 수문인자의 하나로서 토양 내에 함유된 물의 양을 의미하며, 그 총량은 미미하지만 대기와 지표면 사이에서 일어나는 복잡한 물순환과 에너지 교환을 이해하는데 있어 필수적이다. 현재 국내에서는 「수자원의 조사·계획 및 관리에 관한 법률」(이하 수자원법)에 근거해 토양수분량 관측이 이루어지고 있으며, 수자원 분야의 한국수자원조사기술원 외에도 농업, 임업 분야에서도 다양한 기관에서 지상관측소를 구축해 토양수분량을 측정하고 있다. 국내 지상관측소에서는 주로 지점규모(point scale)로 토양수분량을 관측하는 장비가 사용되고 있으며, 유전율식 장비인 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry), FDR(Frequency Domain Reflectometry)이나 토양수분장력을 측정하는 장력계(Tensiometer)가 널리 쓰이고 있다. 수자원분야에서는 토양 내 수분의 양을 직관적으로 확인할 수 있는 유전율식 장비가 대중적으로 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 우주선(Cosmic-Ray)으로부터 발생하는 고속중성자(Fast Neutron)를 통해 중규모 면단위(field scale) 토양수분량을 관측하는 장비인 CRNP(Cosmic-Ray Neutron Probe)에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 장비는 주로 야외에 설치해 운영하고 있기 때문에 장비 훼손이나 전원공급의 어려움으로 결측이나 오측이 발생할 수 있다. 토양수분량 시계열자료의 결측이나 오측이 일반적인 감쇄기에 발생했다면 선형보간법으로도 간단히 보간할 수 있지만, 강우에 의한 상승기에 발생했다면 해당 강우사상에서의 토양수분량의 상한치를 알기 어려워 결측보간에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 토양수분량 시계열자료의 강우기간 결측을 보간하는 방법으로 누적분포함수 역변환 샘플링방법을 선택하였다. 연구에는 음성군(차곡리) 토양수분량 관측소 2021년 자료가 사용되었으며, 관측소 56개 지점 중 임의의 지점에 결측구간을 생성한 뒤 해당 지점과의 상관계수가 높은 지점의 누적분포함수를 이용해 역변환 샘플링 방식으로 임의 지점의 결측을 보간하고 그 결과를 기존값과 비교해 보간 방법의 정확도를 평가하였다.

원자력발전소의 운전과정에서 계획적 혹은 비계획적으로 방출되는 미량의 입자상 방사성 물질들은 대부분 원전 부지내 토양에 침적되게 된다. 이러한 과정 속에서 오염토양이 발생하게 되면 수거되어 단순 격리관리하고 있는 실정이지만 앞으로 원전의 해체과정 등으로 인한 오염토양이 상당량 발생할 것으로 예상되기 때문에 적절한 제염을 통하여 폐기물량을 최소화시킬 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 오염토양 제염공정으로 물을 이용한 토양세척법을 선정하여 제염장치를 제작하였으며 실증시험을 수행하였다.(중략)
