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.

본 연구에서는 광산 인근 토양에서 산성비를 비롯한 침출수에 의한 지하 환경 오염 메카니즘을 검토하고, 오염 방지 및 교정과 대안의 효과를 정량화 하기 위한 방안을 고찰하였다. 이를 위하여 중금속인 비소의 오염도가 높은 토양을 대상으로 인위적 산성용액에 의한 비소의 용출을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 한편, 산성 침출오염수에 의한 지하 환경의 오염을 방지하기 위하여 석회석을 활용한 토양의 안정화방법의 효과를 살펴보았다. 오염된 시료토양에 포함된 비소는 pH 1 이하의 강산성 용액일수록 격렬히 용출되었으며, pH 값이 낮아질 수록 최대 용출량은 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 석회석에 의한 토양 안정화방안은 매우 효과적이었으며, 석회석에 의한 산성용액의 중화반응 특성식은 미반응 핵 모델중에서 화학반응이 속도지배인 특성식에 잘 부합되는 것으로 보여진다.

This study presented the build-up of three-dimensional soil pollution map for precise analysis. To do this, survey on the existing pollutant region on Dongnae-gu, Busan that is the study subject, showed that it tended to produce 0.72 clusters. So, this study suggested to investigate center of $1km{\times}1km $ grid and, as the results of comparing the pollution map that input pollution figure values based on the actually investigation point showed precise results. And, it divided the standard of pollution into 5 levels in surface and underground space and the map was built up using IDW interpolation against the amount of polluted substance. The pollution of ground surface, flow of polluted substance, coefficient of permeability and ground water level that are 504 geotechnical informations were selected as the influential parameters in pollution analysis of underground space, and it calculated that to 0~20 points by dividing the characteristics. It enables the build-up of pollution map of ground surface-underground with depth that considers the characteristics of soil layers and it is considered that it is possible to analyze the general infiltration. And, it was considered that it enables more accurate forecast about influential analysis per depth and pollution of underground water.

본 분석방법은 토양중에 방향성화합물을 함유한 유류 존재를 스크리닝하는 방법으로 ASTM(The American Society for Testing and Materials)에 등록되어 있으며, 수분 제거제를 이용하여 토양수분에 의한 정량 오차를 줄이고 UV-Spectrophotometer로 정량한다. 오염된 유류의 종류를 알고 있으나 동일한 유류를 구하지 못할 경우에는 일반적으로 동일종에서 얻어진 계수로 농도를 추정하며, 오염된 유류의 특성을 모를 경우에는 본 방법으로 오염여부 판단만이 가능하다. 그러나 토양에 오염된 것과 동일한 유류로 검량선을 작성할 경우에는 대략적인 정량도 가능하며, 분석방법을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 일정량의 토양시료에 CaO를 첨가하여 토양수분에 의한 영향을 제거한 뒤 이소프로필알콜(isopropyl alcohol)로 추출하여 여과한다. 여과액을 254nm의 UV파장에서 흡광도를 측정하여 오염된 것과 동일한 유류로 작성된 검량선을 이용하여 정량한다.

This study examined microbial community structures (MCSs) according to environmental factors through DGGE analysis and comparison in various soils collected from near army bases and gas stations. As a result, the similarities based on DGGE band profiles showed the closer relationship in regional properties than in pollution characteristics, probably due to the degree of weak contamination. The highly contaminated samples with oil revealed low MCS similarities with others in the same region and very low with all the other samples in the other regions. Thus the microbial community structure would more be affected by region-based natural factors than by contamination factors in case of minor pollution. All the dominant culturable bacterial species were involved in firmicutes or high GC Gram+ in a major portion of soil samples and the highly oil-contaminated samples contained Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Methylobacterium, Clavibacter, Streptomyces and Nocardia as reported genera, and Leifsonia as a unreported genus.

미생물 활성도와 그에 따른 유기물의 분해율은 미생물의 호흡률과 직접적인 관계가 있다. 본 연구는 매립종료후 경과기간이 1년인 Y 매립지와 10년인 C 매립지의 오염특성을 조사하였고, 오염토양 미생물의 산소소비속도를 이용하여 매립종료기간에 따른 오염토양의 산소소비율을 비교 평가 하고자 하였다. C 매립지의 오염토양에 대한 SCO $D_{cr}$ TOC는 Y 매립지에 비해 낮은 함량으로 나타났으나 T-N, N $H_3$-N의 함량은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. TOC/T-N비로 보았을 때 Y 매립지에 비해 C 매립지가 낮은 것으로 나타나 연령이 많은 경우 분해성 유기물의 함량은 적은 것으로 판단된다. 산소소비율 실험결과 Y 매립지가 산소소비율이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, C 매립지도 대조토양에 비해 높은 산소소비율을 보였다. 따라서 매립종료 후 경과기간이 10년인 매립지의 미생물의 산소소비율을 보았을 때 여전히 생물학적 안정화가 종료되지 않은 것을 알 수 있었다.

A variety of physical, chemical, and microbiological techniques have been developed to deal with soil and groundwater contamination. However, in the presence of the large portion of soil micro-environments, contaminant rebound and/or tailing have been frequently reported. Case study of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) removal by full-scale land farming showed that contaminant rebound and/or tailing occurred in 9 out of total 21 cases and subsequently resulted in problems of a long term operation to satisfy TPH guidelines of contaminated soil and groundwater. The main cause of contaminant rebound and tailing is considered to be the strong interactions between contaminants and micro-environments including micro-particles, micro-pores, and organic matter. Thus, this study reviewed the effects of soil micro-environments of soil and groundwater on the removal efficiency for both heavy metals and petroleum contaminants. In addition, the various methods of sampling, analysis, and assessment of soil micro-environments were evaluated. Thorough understanding of the effects of soil micro-environments on contaminant removal will be essential to achieve a cost-effective and efficient solution to contaminated sites.

혼합유류(등,경유)로 오염된 대상부지의 토양특성을 파악하여 세척공법의 적용성을 판단하고, 적용성시험을 통하여 장치별 설계인자를 도출하였다. 시험결과 본 세척대상토양의 경우 계면활성제와 같은 첨가제를 주입하지 않고 물리적인 탈착공정만을 거쳐도 90%이상의 오염물질이 토양입자표면으로부터 탈착됨을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 반영하여 장치를 제작, 설치하였다. 세척대상 오염토량은 총 $12,225m^3$, 사업수행기간은 약 6개월, 세척장치에 주입된 세척토양의 평균오염농도는 약 3,152ppm 이었으며 세척 완료된 토양의 평균농도는 약 150ppm으로 약 97%의 제거효율을 보여 복원목표인 800ppm을 만족시킬 수 있었다. 그리고, 세척토양의 입도분포를 정확히 파악하고 분리시킬 토양입자 크기를 결정하여 현장 적용한 결과 세척공법으로부터 배출되는 응집슬러지를 최소화할 수 있었으며, 발생되는 세척폐수 또한 세척수 처리시스템을 거쳐 재활용 할 수 있도록 하였다. 이런 결과를 통하여 세척공법이 다른 Ex-situ 공법과 비교하였을 경우 현장의 적용성, 경제성, 복원기간 등을 감안하였을 경우 성공적인 세척공법의 적용사례라 할 수 있다.

Various soil remedial technologies have been developed and main effort has been to overcome the limiting factors. Major factors were the geophysical characteristics, especially hydraulic, electrical, and heat conductivities. In this paper, I have reviewed the remedial technologies depending on those. Only with comprehensive understanding and information on those characteristics, selection of the best remedial method can be possible.
