As Total Maximum Daily Load program is being implemented, needs for the management and treatment of contaminated sediment are rising to attain cleaner water resources. In this paper, impacts and management methods of contaminated sediment were reviewed. Remediation technologies for contaminated sediment including dredging, natural attenuation, in situ solidification/stabilization, in situ biological remediation, in situ chemical remediation and capping were reviewed. Integrated remediation scheme was presented as well.

본 연구는 해양퇴적물 준설 중 해양의 탁도와 2차오염을 유발하는 미세한 입자의 퇴적물을 생물학적으로 처리하는 친환경 정화기술로 유용미생물제제(BM-S-1)를 투여한 Lab Scale의 실험장치를 이용하여 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 유용미생물제제(BM-S-1)가 우점되어 있는 Lab Scale 실험장치를 운전하여 유기물 정량분석방법인 COD, T-N, T-P를 분석해본 결과 모든 항목이 약 98% 이상 처리됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 본 실험대상물질인 해양퇴적물은 고농도의 염분이 함유되어 있어 기존기술만으로는 생물학적 처리가 어려웠지만, 본 연구에서 사용된 유용미생물제제(BM-S-1)은 염분이 함유된 오염 퇴적물에서도 효과적인 생물학적 처리가 가능함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 따라서 준설 시 2차오염을 유발시키는 미세한 입자의 해양퇴적물을 본 공법으로 처리하여 방류할 시 친환경적인 준설이 이루어질 수 있으며 이 때 처리되어 배출되는 미세토양은 재이용 가능하다고 판단된다.

In this study, stabilization treatment of heavy metals such as Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn in contaminated marine sediment was achieved using bentonite. Stabilization experiment was accomplished by wet-curing with bentonite for 150 days. From the sequential extraction results of heavy metals, it was observed that the easily extractable fraction (exchangeable, carbonate, and oxides forms) of Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn in a treated sediment decreased to 8.5%, 5.6%, 19.2%, and 28.2%, respectively, compared with untreated sediment. Moreover, the TCLP(Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) results evaluating efficiency of extraction reduction of heavy metals showed that extraction of heavy metals reduced drastically to 95.7%, 96.8%, 99.2%, 85.9% for Ni, Cu, Pb, and Zn by stabilization when compared to untreated sediment. From these results, we can confirm that bentonite as a capping material exhibits good stabilization of heavy metals in contaminated marine sediment.

본 연구는 호소내 오염된 퇴적물 처리를 위한 전처리 장치로 Hydrocyclone의 이용가능 성을 평가하는 실험이다. 외국의 선행 연구자인 Rietema의 표준 규격을 참고하여 제작된 Hydrocyclone을 이용하여 기흥저수지 퇴적물로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 입자에 따른 오염 도 평가에서는 입자가 작을수록 포함된 오염물의 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 퇴적물을 이용한 장치특성 및 운전조건 변화에 따른 실험에서 공급속도가 빠르고, 공급시료의 농도가 낮으며, 장치의 크기가 작을수록 입자별 분리효율이 높았다.

해저퇴적물은 수생생물들의 주거공간을 제공하여 수생생태계에서 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러나 오염된 해저퇴적물은 수계에서 축적되는 양보다 퇴적물에서 수계로 용출되는 양이 많아 수계의 오염을 가중시키는 가장 끈 원인이 된다. 오염도가 높은 퇴적물에서는 특정종의 서식을 불가능하게 하거나 서식이 가능하다 할지라도 서식생물의 체내에 오염물이 농축되어 이는 먹이사슬을 통하여 수중서식생물들에게 축적되게 되어 궁극적으로 인간들에게도 나쁜 영향을 미치게 된다. (중략)

In this study, a heavy-metal stabilization treatment using stabilizing agents derived from waste resources was utilized on Incheon North Port range sediment contaminated with Pb, Zn, and Cu. Both calcined red mud (5%, 10%, and 15% w/w) and oyster shell (5%, 10%, and 15% w/w) were applied for a wet-curing duration of 15 days. From the sequential extraction results, the oxide and organic fraction of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, and Cu) were observed strongly in the contaminated sediment. However, the fraction of heavy metal in the stabilized sediment was higher than the organic and residual fraction, in comparison to the contaminated sediment. Moreover, the leaching of heavy metals was reduced in the stabilized sediment, compared with the contaminated sediment. From these results, red mud and oyster shell were shown to be potential stabilizers of heavy metals in contaminated sediment.

The economical feasibility was conducted to find the adequate method to treat the dredged sediments from agricultural reservoirs in a pilot project that had been operated to improve the quality of water and benthic environments by dredging of contaminated sediments. For benefit/cost (B/C) analysis, the net expenses were considered as the costs of project, and the benefits were calculated from the saving of waste-treatment cost through reuse of dredged sediment, the saving of construction cost of settling pond, and the values of retained water by dredging. Although the economic feasibility depended on the sites of operation, the average B/C value of the pilot project was estimated as 1.32, indicating this project is economically feasible. Depending on the treatment methods, the B/C values were in the order of the methods of coagulating sedimentation, machinery dewatering, stabilization through exothermic reaction, and soil improvement and stabilization. The machinery dewatering method is estimated as the most adequate one to treat the dredged sediments because of the minimum riskiness of secondary pollution, the recyclability, and its economic feasibility.

Removal efficiency of PCBs in contaminated marine sediments treated by Fenton-like oxidation combined with surfactant was investigated in this research in order to achieve remediation of PCBs. A washing treatment using various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (1% and 15%) and surfactants (Triton X-100, Tween 60 and Tween 80) was evaluated at various conditions in laboratory scale experiments. The mean removal efficiencies of tPCBs varied from 24.1 to 46.7% in the sediments for 1 hour duration of the treatments. The concentration of tPCBs in contaminated marine sediments after the simultaneous treatment with hydrogen peroxide and surfactant satisfied the domestic environmental standards for the beneficial use of sediments. When suitable surfactant was used for Fenton-like oxidation, the removal efficiency of tPCBs at low concentration of hydrogen peroxide was similar to that at high hydrogen peroxide concentration. Thus the efficient removal of PCBs in contaminated marine sediments could be achieved through treatment with Fenton-like oxidation combined with surfactant washing.

Cyanobacterial resting cells, such as akinetes, are important seed cells for cyanobacteria's early development and bloom. Due to their importance, various methods have been attempted to isolate resting cells present in the sediment. Ludox is a solution mainly used for cell separation in marine sediments, but finding an accurate method for use in freshwater is difficult. This study compared the two most commonly used Ludox methods (direct sediment treatment and sediment distilled water suspension treatment). Furthermore, we proposed a highly efficient method for isolating cyanobacterial resting cells and eDNA amplification from freshwater sediments. Most of the resting cells found in the sediment were akinete to the Nostocale and were similar to those of Dolichospermum, Cylindrospermum, and Aphanizomenon. Twenty times more akinetes were found in the conical tube column using the sediment that had no treatment than in the sample treated by suspending the sediment in distilled water. Akinete separated through Ludox were mainly spread over the upper and lower layers in the column rather than concentrated at a specific depth in the column layer. The mibC, Geo, and 16S rDNA genes were successfully amplified using the sediment directly in the sample. However, the amplification products of all genes were not found in the sample in which the sediment was suspended in distilled water. Therefore, 5 g to 10 g of sediment is used without pretreatment when isolating cyanobacterial resting cells from freshwater sediment. Cell isolation and gene amplification efficiency are high when four times the volume of Ludox is added. The Ludox treatment method presented in this study isolates cyanobacterial resting cells in freshwater sediment, and the same efficiency may not appear in other biotas. Therefore, to apply Ludox to the separation of other biotas, it is necessary to conduct a pre-experiment to determine the sediment pretreatment method and the water layer where the target organism exists.

산업화가 가속화되며 독성 중금속에 의한 토양, 지하수 및 하상퇴적물의 오염사례가 증가하고 있다. 지표 산화환경에서의 이들 중금속의 이동 및 거동에 관한 연구는 그간 수차례 수행된 바 있고 이에 관하여 적절한 오염처리기법 개발에 관한 연구도 다수 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 중금속이 심부 환원환경으로 이동한 경우에 대하여는 이들 오염물질의 거동 및 그에 따른 적절한 처리에 관한 연구가 거의 수행된 바 없는 실정이다. (중략)
