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.

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is known to be an effective process to remove the contaminants from the soils by enhancing the vaporization of organic compounds using forced vapor flows or applying vacuum through soils. Experiments are carried out to investigate the effects of the organic contaminants, types of soils, and water contents on the removal efficiency with operating time. In the study, simulated soils include the glass bead which has no micropore, sand and molecular sieve which has a large volume of micropores. As model organic pollutants, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, and trichloroethylene are selected. Desorption experiments are conducted by flowing nitrogen gas. Under the experimental conditions, it is found that there are linear relationships between logarithm of removal efficiency and logarithm of number of pore volumes. The number of pore volumes are defined as the total amount of air flow through the soil column divided by the pore volume of soil column. For three organic compounds studied, the removal rate is slow for no water content, while the number of pore volumes for removal of organic compounds are notably reduced for water contents up to 37%. For the removal of dense organic compound, such as trichloroethylene, a large number of pore volumes are needed. Also, the effects of the characteristics of simulated soils on the removal efficiency of organic compounds are studied. After the characterization of soil surface, porosity of soil columns and types of contaminants, the results could provide a basis for the design of SVE process.

The purpose of this study was to predict environmental distribution of anthracene, benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, 1-methylphenanthrene and phenanthrene in a four phase biopile system - air, water, soil and non aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) phase using level I fugacity model. Soil samples used for this study were collected from three sites in the United Kingdom which were historically contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. The level I fugacities (f) for the five contaminants were markedly different, however, the fugacities of each contaminant in three soil samples did not show significant difference. NAPL and soil were the dominant phases for all five contaminants. Results of this study indicated that difference in percentage of organic carbon strongly influenced the partitioning behavior of the cntaminants. The presence of benzene calls for an urgent need for risk-based management of air and water phase. Whereas insignificant amount of chemicals leached in the water phase for other organic contaminants showing greatly reduced potential of groundwater contamination. Furthermore, this study helped us to confirm the association of risk critical contaminants with the residual saturation in treated soils. They also can be used to emphasize the importance of accounting for the partitioning behavior of both NAPL and soil phases in the process of the risk assessment of the sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.

Many countries have recently established legal regulations and soil quality standards for soil protection, This study investigated the role of soil quality standards in soil protection policy and methods of selecting standard substances from various types of chemicals. In most countries, soil quality standards act as guidance for further detail surveyor risk assessment from comparing soil concentration with the soil quality standards. Soil quality standards of Switzerland, Demark and Japan were used as enforcement tools. Priority substances for the standards were first selected from frequently detected chemicals in contaminated sites. Those substances were extensively evaluated for toxic effects, exposure potential and availability in chemical analysis.

In remediation of the contaminated soil, it requires to select at least more than two remediation technologies depending on the fate and transport phenomena through complicated reactions in soil matrix. Therefore, methodologies related to develop the integrated remediation technology were reviewed for agricultural soils contaminated with heavy metals. Pneumatic fracturing is necessary to implement deficiency because soil washing is not effective to remove heavy metals in the subsurface soil. But it needs to evaluate the characteristics such as essential data and factors of designated technology in order to effectively apply them in the site. In the remediation site, the important soil physical and chemical factors to be considered are hydrology, porosity, soil texture and structure, types and concentrations of the contaminants, and fate and its transport properties. However, the integrated technology can be restrictive by advective flux in the area which remediation is highly effective although both soil washing and pneumatic fracturing were applied simultaneously in the site. Therefore, we need to understand flow pathways of the target contaminants in the subsurface soils, that includes kinetic desorption and flux, predictive simulation modeling, and complicated reaction in heterogenous soil.

원자력시설의 사고시 대기중으로 누출된 방사성물질에 의해 오염된 토양으로부터 재배된 농작물로 인한 인체노출은 각종 환경오염물질에 의한 인체영향 연구결과에 보듯이 직접적인 방사능에 의한 인체노출 못지 않게 상당히 중요하다. 이러한 섭식경로를 통한 노출은 각 나라마다 서로 다른 토양조건 및 작물체종류의 다양성등 다른 양상을 보이고 있어, 연구가 수행된 미국이나 유럽등지의 평가방법을 그대로 사용하면 국내의 토양에서 재배되는 농작물이나 이를 이용한 축산물에 따른 한국인의 독특한 섭취양상을 충분히 고려하여 평가하기 어려울 수 있다.

The purposes of this research are to examine soil pollution in the nation and to explore the contaminated soil management of the public housing agency in public land for residential development. In so doing, the primary and secondary data were utilized, the former made use of the public data annually released by the Korea Ministry of Environment, and the latter relied on a self-administerd questionnaire survey conducted in the staff of the public housing agency, particularly those in charge of soil contamination in large-scale land, housing and urban development projects. The findings reveal that the national concentrations of 21 inorganic and organic soil contaminants (e.g., Cd, Cu, As, Hg, Pb, Cr, Zn, Ni, F, P, PCB, CN, Phenol, BTEX, TPH, TCE, PCE, Benzo(a)pyrene, and pH) in the land were extracted to be well below the risk level designated by the statutory guidance while industrial areas had them at a relatively modest level. In addition, the survey results indicate that the public housing agency didn't establish specific and clear guidelines for soil pollution and its remediation in the residential land development, so that contaminated sites have been primarily remediated by outsourcing companies. As the unexpected occurrence of contaminated sites causes the incurring expenses added to total project budget, the provision of both professional training and on-site manuals with the sufficient information on techniques and methods of soil contamination is critical to promptly and systematically deal with soil pollution.

유류로 오염된 토양에 대해 토양경작법(Landfarming)을 적용하여 복원효율을 평가하였다. 복원 초기에는 주로 휘발에 의한 오염물질의 저감이 이루어졌으며, 이 후 미생물성장에 필요한 토양뒤집기와 질소원 영양물질의 공급으로 인해 미생물수가 복원초기에 비해 약 200배 증가하면서 약 30여일 경과 후 초기 20,000ppm에서 복원목표인 TPH의 토양오염우려기준 2,000ppm의 이하인 1,910ppm으로 감소하였다. 시간이 경과할수록 탄소원 섭취기질 부족으로 완만한 오염물질 감소속도를 나타내면서 최종적으로 TPH를 측정한 결과 1,288ppm으로서 제거효율 94%이상을 나타내었다.

Soil venting이 오염토양중 가솔린의 용출거동에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 예측하기 위하여 가솔린의 휘발과 용해거동이 Raoult의 법칙에 의해 설명되어 질 수 있는지를 평가해보았다. 먼저 순수 가솔린의 용해거동과 휘발거동에 대해 검토해 보고 이후 토양중 가솔린의 거동에 적용하여 보았다. 가솔린성분들의 용해거동은 휘발에 의한 성분조성의 변화와 상관없이 Raoult의 법칙에 의해 비교적 정확하게 예측될 수 있었으며 오차범위는 naphthalene을 제외하고는 최고 $\pm$ 100% 이내였다. 오염토양의 형태로 가솔린이 존재하는 경우에도 Raoult의 법칙에 의해 정확히 예측될수 있었으나 토양중 농도가 초기 20,000 mg/kg에서 1,360 mg/kg로 감소한 경우에는 용출농도가 예측치의 50-70% 수준으로 낮은 경향을 보였다. 한편 soil venting시 휘발에 따른 조성변화를 Raoult의 법칙을 이용하여 산정하고 각 성분조성에 대한 개별물질들의 용출잠재성을 결정하는 모델을 이용하여 실험결과와 비교하여 보았다.
