본 연구에서는 lab-scale의 열탈착 장치를 설계 및 제작하고 실제 유류오염 토양을 대상으로 다양한 운전조건에 따른 오염토양정화성능을 비교하였다. 대상 토양은 군부대로 사용되던 부지 내 유류저장소 부근 고농도 오염토로 선정하였고, 10 L 용적의 원통형 batch 형태의 직접 가열식 열탈착기를 사용하여 초기 TPH 농도 4476 ppm의 고농도 오염 토양시료를 다양한 운전조건에서 열탈착하여 처리효율 분석을 수행하였다. 열중량 분석을 통해 열탈착 실험에서 대상 오염물질을 제거하기 위한 토양 시료의 평균 가열온도는 $200-300^{\circ}C$가 적합한 것으로 확인하였다. Batch 형식의 운전을 통한 처리효율 분석 결과 토양 내 오염물질을 90% 이상 제거하기 위해서는 약 $200^{\circ}C$에서는 10분, 약 $300^{\circ}C$에서는 5분 이상의 처리 시간이 요구되었다. 함수율이 높고 덩어리진 토양일수록 처리효율, 특히 고분자 오염물질의 처리효율이 크게 감소함을 보였다. 따라서 풍건을 통하여 오염토양 내 수분을 저하시킨 후 분쇄 처리하여 열탈착기에 주입하는 것이 효과적이라 판단된다. 또한 처리 전 토양과 처리 후 토양의 물리화학적 특성 비교한 결과 고온에 의해 증발된 수분함량을 제외하고 나머지 특성들은 거의 변화가 없어 실제 복원현장에서 오염토양을 열탈착 공정을 이용하여 오염물질을 제거한 후 추가적인 후처리 과정 없이 처리토양을 원래 위치에 복원하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 현장운전에서 오염물질의 제거 효율을 극대화하기위한 인자 결정 및 검증을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The significance of maintaining the soil environment is gradually increasing owing to soil and underground water contamination by petroleum leak accidents. However, the purification of soil is an expensive and more time-consuming process than the purification of contaminated water and air. Moreover, determining the source and people responsible for soil pollution gets often embroiled in legal conflicts, further delaying the cleanup process of the contaminate site. Generally, TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbon) pattern analysis is used to determine the petroleum species and polluter responsible for soil contamination. However, this process has limited application for petroleum products with a similar TPH pattern. In this study, we analyze the TPH pattern and specific sectional ratio (${\sim}C_{10}$, $C_{10}-C_{12}$, $C_{12}-C_{36}$, and $C_{36}{\sim}$) of various domestic petroleum products to identify the petroleum product responsible for soil contamination. Also, we perform BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene) quantitative analysis and determine B:T:E:X ratio using GC-MS. The results show that gasoline grade 1 and 2 have a similar TPH pattern but different BTEX values and ratios. This means that BTEX analysis can be used as a new method to purify soil pollution. This complementary TPH and BTEX method proposed in this study can be used to identify the petroleum species and polluters present in the contaminated soil.

본 연구에서는 선로상의 소규모 유류오염 도상자갈을 대상으로 펜톤산화를 적용하였다. 이를 위해 현장의 오염도상자갈을 채취하여 실험실에서 주요인자들에 대한 실험을 수행하였으며, 이 후 소규모로 오염된 역사 내 선로에서 원위치 펜톤산화의 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 실험실 조건에서는 0.1 mol Fe/L $H_2O_2$의 조건으로 도상자갈 잔류 TPH 농도를 약 1,000 mg/kg-ballast 수준으로 낮출 수 있었다. 그러나 원위치 현장적용에서는 자갈궤도의 배수특성으로 인해 $H_2O_2$의 상당량이 충분히 반응하지 못하고 하부로 배출되어 펜톤반응의 현장적용성 향상을 위한 추가적인 연구가 요구된다.

The scope of this study was to develop, design, and build an ex-situ remediation system of using the heating and water sparging treatment for the highly volatile DNAPL (Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid) contaminated groundwater, and to conduct pilot testing at the site contaminated with DNAPL. The TCE (Trichloroethylene) removal was at the highest rate of 94.6% with the water sparging at $70^{\circ}C$ in the lab-scale test. The pilot-scale remediation system was developed, designed, and fabricated based on the results of the lab-scale test conducted. During the pilot-scale testing, DNAPL-contaminated groundwater was detained at heat exchanger for the certain period of time for pre-heating through the heat exchanger using the thermal energy supplied from the heater. The heating system supplies thermal energy to the preheated DNAPL-contaminated groundwater directly and its highly volatile TCE, $CCl_4$ (Carbontetrachloride), Chloroform are vaporized, and its vaporized and treated water is return edback to the heat exchanger. In the pilot testing the optimum condition of the HWSRS was when the water temperature at the $40^{\circ}C$ and operated with water sparging concurrently, and its TCE removal rate was 90%. The efficiency of the optimized HWSRS has been confirmed through the long-term performance evaluation process.

Although various methods have been investigated for treatment of crude oil contaminated soil, more researches are still required to preserve soil environment. This study investigated the potential utility of subcritical water in remediation of crude oil contaminated soil under various experimental conditions including temperature ($150-300^{\circ}C$), flow rate (1.0-2.0 mL/min) and extraction time (60-120 min). The removal rate of crude oil gradually increased with increasing temperature and time. After treatment at $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, the remaining concentration of crude oil met the Kuwait standard clean-up level (10,000 mg/kg) and the Korean standard level (2,000 mg/kg), respectively. The removal efficiency of crude oil increased from 77.8% to 88.4% with increasing extraction time from 60 to 120 min at $250^{\circ}C$. A decreasing rate of oil removal was observed as flow rate increased, possibly due to channeling flow occurred within the soil body at higher flow rate condition. Overall, the results revealed that subcritical water extraction process could be feasible for remediation of crude oil contaminated soil, and the relative effect of parameters on the oil removal was in the order of temperature > time > flow rate.

Bioremediation is one of the most effective ways to remediate TPH-contaminated sites. However, under actual field conditions that are not at the optimum temperature, degradation of microorganisms is generally reduced, which is why the efficiency of biodegradation is known to be significantly affected by the soil temperature. Therefore, in this study, the labscale experiment was conducted using indigenous crude oil degrading microorganisms isolated from crude oil contaminated site to evaluate the remediation efficiency. Crude oil degrading microorganisms were isolated from crude oil contaminated soil and temperature, which is a significant factor affecting the remediation efficiency of land farming, was adjusted to evaluate the microbial crude oil degrading ability, degradation time, and remediation efficiency. In order to assess the field applicability, the remediation efficiency was evaluated using crude oil contaminated soil (average TPH concentration of 10,000 mg/kg or more) from the OO premises. Followed by the application of microorganisms at 30℃, the bioremediation process reduced its initial TPH concentration of 10,812 mg/kg down to 1,890 mg/kg in 56 days, which was about an 83% remediation efficiency. By analyzing the correlation among the total number of cells, the number of effective cells, and TPH concentration, it was found that the number of effective microorganisms drastically increased during the period from 10 to 20 days while there was a sharp decrease in TPH concentration. Therefore, we confirmed the applicability of land farming with isolated microorganisms consortium to crude oil contaminated site, which is also expected to be applicable to bioremediation of other recalcitrant materials.

Conceptual site model (CSM) development and enhancement for contaminated sites assists in identifying data gaps during the site investigation process. In this study, CSM was developed and enhanced for a contaminated site in Korea as a case study. Site Y was scrutinized four times previously. The site profiles for each scrutiny were reorganized based on the scrutiny reports, and the relevant data was utilized to develop and enhance CSMs. CSM for the first investigation was developed in various forms including table, flowchart, diagram, and narrative formats. CSM was enhanced in a stepwise manner by incorporating the updated profile information obtained in next investigation to existing CSM. The hypothetical data gap analysis between each investigation step was established to meet the purpose of the follow-up investigation. This case study showed that CSM is a useful tool to identify the history and current status of contaminated sites and thereby help in planning supplementary investigations for better site characterization.

In this study, electrokinetic remediation equipment was used to remove cesium (Cs) from clay soil and waste solution was treated with sorption process. The influence of electrokinetic process on the removal of Cs was evaluated under the condition of applied electric voltage of 15.0-20.0 V. In addition to monitoring the Cs removal, electrical current and temperature of the electrolyte during experiment were investigated. The removal efficiency of Cs from soil by electrokinetic method was more than 90%. After electrokinetic remediation, Cs was selectively separated from soil waste solution using sorbents. Various adsorption agents such as potassium nickel hexacyanoferrate (KNiHCF), Prussian blue, sodium tetraphenylborate (NaTPB), and zeolite were compared and KNiHCF showed the highest Cs removal efficiency. The Cs adsorption on KNiHCF reached equilibrium in 30 min. The maximum adsorption capacity was 120.4 mg/g at 0.1 g/L of adsorbent dosage. These results demonstrated that our proposed process combined electrokinetic remediation of soil and waste solution treatment with metal ferrocyanide can be a promising technique to decontaminate Cs-contaminated fine soil.

This paper presents a numerical model based on a UTCHEM simulator to simulate surfactant flushing process to remediate diesel contaminated sand column. For this purpose, we modeled remediation process under 10000 and 20000 ppm initial concentrations of diesel. Various percent-mass sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) considered in our model. The model results indicated that 0.3 percent-mass of SDS at 10000 ppm and 0.1 percent-mass of SDS at 20000 ppm initial diesel concentration had maximum removal perdition which is in agreement with the experiment results. For 10000 ppm diesel concentrations, the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) and index of agreement (IA) between the model result and the experimental data were 0.9952 and 0.9695, respectively, and for 20000 ppm diesel concentrations, $R^2$ and IA were 0.9977 and 0.9935, respectively. The sensitivity analysis of permeability illustrated that in all diesel concentrations and SDS percent-mass with increasing permeability the model resulted in more removal efficiency.
