Transport of heavy metals such as Cd is affected by several rate-limiting processes including adsorption and desorption by exchange reactions in soils. In this study, column transport and batch kinetic experiments were performed to assess Cd mobility in a double-layered soil with a reclaimed saline and sodic soil (SSS) as top soil and macroporous granule (MPG) as a bottom layer. For individual soil layer having different physical and chemical properties, Cd was considered to be nonlinear reactivity with the soil matrix in layered soils. The dispersive equation for reactive solutes was solved with three types of boundary conditions for the interface between soil layers. The adsorption of Cd with respect to the saline-sodic sandy loam and the MPG indicated that the nature of the sites or the mechanisms involved in the sorption process of Cd was different and the amounts of Cd for both of samples increases with increasing amounts of equilibrium concentration whereas the amount of Cd adsorbed in saline-sodic sandy loam soil was higher than that in MPG. The results of breakthrough curve indicating relative Cd retardation accompanied by layer material and sequence during leaching showed that the number of pore volumes to reach the maximum relative concentration of 1 increased in the order of MPG, SSS, and double layer of SSS-MPG. Breakthrough curves (BTCs) from column experiments were well predicted with our double-layered model where independently derived solute physical and retention parameters were implemented.

Layered double hydroxides(LDHs)가 토양의 이화학성에 미치는 영향 및 결정성의 변화를 규명하기 위하여 LDHs가 처리된 토양침출수를 calcium carbonate 처리와 비교 조사하였다. LDHs와 $CaCO_3$를 처리한 토양의 pH는 유사한 pH 변화를 나타내었으나, LDHs를 처리한 토양의 pH가 무처리구 및 $CaCO_3$ 처리구에 비해 각각 3.0 및 1.0 높게 낮타났다. LDHs를 첨가한 토양침출수의 $Mg^{2+}$ 함량은 52.0~383.0 mg/l으로 무처리구의 1.0~10.0 mg/l, $CaCO_3$ 처리구의 1.0~20.0 mg/l 보다 매우 높았다. $Al^{3+}$ 함량은 LDH와 $CaCO_3$ 처리구에서 0.2 mg 이하의 수준으로 무처리구에 비해 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. 토양침출수의 인산 함량은 LDHs와 $CaCO_3$ 처리에 의해 유의성 있는 상관관계는 나타나지 않았으며, silicate 함량은 LDHs와 $CaCO_3$ 처리에 의해 낮아졌다. LDHs는 토양에서 층상형의 기본구조가 점진적으로 붕괴되어 결정성 및 구조적 형태가 변화되었다. 따라서 LDHs의 토양처리는 산성 토양의 개선 및 식물영양원의 지속적 공급이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 토양환경 및 이화학성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않으므로 다양한 농업소재의 기능성 전달체로서 활용성이 매우 높은 것으로 판단된다.

This paper presents how to analyze heat transfer characteristics of double-layered soils. Thermal response tests were conducted to measure the ground thermal conductivities of Joomunjin sand and double layered soils filled in a steel box of which the size is $5m{\times}1m{\times}1m$. Double-layered soils were composed of Joomunjin sand and Kaoline clay. Each thermal conductivity of Joomunjin sand and Kaloine clay was measured by using Heat Flow Meter considering different void ratio. The ground thermal conductivity of double-layered soils was 15% smaller than that of Joomunjin sand.

Mg-Al LDH를 이용하여 수용액중 비소와의 반응특성을 규명하고 비소 제거제로서 활용가능성을 규명하기 위하여 비소의 흡착특성, 제거효율 및 제거기작에 대한 조사를 하였다. Mg-Al LDH는 소성(calcination)에 의한 탈수로 Mg oxide 형태를 나타내었고 비소를 흡착시킨 결과 반응 22시간 이후에 흡착평형에 도달하였으며 흡착량은 약 530 mmol/kg정도였다. 반응농도별 LDH의 등온흡착은 L-type의 흡착반응을 나타내었다. 소성된 Mg-Al LDH는 용액중에서 재수화(rehydration) 될 때 비소가 LDH의 구조의 복구과정(reconstruction)에서 이온교환 반응에 의해 층간삽입이 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. LDH에 대한 arsenate와 phosphate, arsenate와 sulfate의 경쟁흡착 결과 arsenate와 phosphate의 선택성은 비슷한 편이었고, arsenate는 sulfate에 비해 선택성이 우수하였다. 따라서 calcined Mg-Al LDH는 비교적 높은 비소 제거효율을 나타내므로 비소 제거제로서 사용 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 판단된다.

Global population is expected to reach nine billion in 2050 and the total demand for food is expected to increase approximately by 60 percent by 2050 as compared to 2005. Therefore, it is important to increase crop production in order to meet the global demand for food. Slow release fertilizers have been developed and designed in order to improve the efficiency of fertilizers. Mineral-based slow release fertilizers are useful because the minerals have a crystalline structure and are environmentally friendly in a soil. This review focuses on slow release fertilizers based on montmorillonite, zeolite, and layered double hydroxide phases as a host for nutrients, especially N. Urea was successfully stabilized in the interlayer space of montmorillonite by the formation of urea-Mg or Ca complex, $[(Urea)_6Mg\;or\;Ca]^{2+}$ protecting its rapid degradation in soils. Naturally occurring zeolites occluded with ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate by molten salt treatment could be used as slow release fertilizer because the occlusion process increased the capacity of zeolites to store nutrients in addition to exchangeable cations. Additionally, surface-modified zeolites could also be used as slow release fertilizer because the modified surface showed high affinity for anionic nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate. Moreover, there were attempts to develop and use synthetic layered double hydroxide as a carrier of nitrate because it has positively charged layers which electrostatically bond nitrate anions. Kaolin was also tested by combining with a polymer or through the mechanical-chemical process for slow release of nutrients.

In this study, numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the load transfer mechanisms and dynamic responses between the vertical shaft and the surrounding soil using a dynamic analysis method and a pseudo-static method (called response displacement method, RDM). Numerical solutions were verified against data from the literature. A series of parametric studies was performed with three different transient motions and various surrounding soils. The results showed that the soil stratigraphy and excitation motions significantly influenced the dynamic behavior of the vertical shaft. Maximum values of the shear force and bending moment occurred near an interface between the soil layers. In addition, deformations and load distributions of the vertical shaft were highly influenced by the amplified seismic waves on the vertical shaft constructed in multi-layered soils. Throughout the comparison results between the dynamic analysis method and the RDM, the results from the dynamic analyses showed good agreement with those from the RDM calculated by a double-cosine method.

LDH(Layered double hydroxide) 물질을 제조하고 이를 이용하여 비소를 흡착시키는 실험을 수행하였다. TEM을 이용하여 제조한 LDH 물질의 형상을 살펴본 결과 열처리를 거친 시료는 나노크기의 결정화된 구조를 가지고 있고 열처리를 거치지 않은 시료는 아직 결정화가 완전히 이루어지지 않았으며 크기도 마이크로 범위에서 나타났다. X선 회절분석 결과를 보면 이 같은 결과가 뚜렷이 나타났으며, 열처리를 거친 경우는 뚜렷한 결정화를 보이고 있었다. $N_2$ 흡착 및 탈착 결과를 통해 LDH가 mesoporous한 공극 형태를 가지고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 비표면적은 열처리를 거친 시료가 열처리를 거치지 않은 시료보다 2배 이상 크게 나타났다. 흡착 등온 실험 결과에서도 두 시료는 비슷한 흡착량을 보이며 기존 철산화 물에 못지않은 흡착능을 나타내고 있다. 금번에 합성한 Mg Fe-LDH 물질을 이용하여 토양 및 지하수의 비소 제거 공정에 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This manuscript covers the results of field investigation and lab-scale experiments to design a double-layered biofilter system to control urban storm runoff. The biofilter system consisted of a coarse soil layer (CSL) for filtration and fine soil layer (FSL) for adsorption and biological degradation. The variations of flow rate and water quality of runoff from a local expressway were monitored for seven storm events. Laboratory column experiments were performed using seven kinds of soil and mulch to maximize pollutants removal. The site mean concentration (SMC) of storm runoff from the drainage area (runoff coefficient: 0.92) was measured to be 203 mg/L for SS, 307 mg/L for $TCOD_{Cr}$, 12.3 mg/L for TN, 7.3 mg/L for ${NH_4}^+-N$, and 0.79 mg/L for TP, respectively. This study employed a new design concept, to cover the maximum rainfall intensity with one month recurrence interval. Effective storms for last ten years (1998-2007) in seoul suggested the design rainfull intensity to be 8.8 mm/hr Single layer soil column showed the maximum removal rate of pollutants load when the uniformity coefficient of CSL was 1.58 and the silt/clay contents of FSL was virtually 7%. The removal efficiency during operation of double layer soil column was 98% for SS and turbidity, 75% for TCODCr, 56% for ${NH_4}^+-N$, 87% for TP, and 73-91% for heavy metals. The hydraulic conductivity of the soil column, 0.023 cm/sec, suggested that the surface area of the biofilter system should be about 1% of the drainage area to treat the rainfall intensity of one month recurrence interval.

The magnesium and iron-based layered double hydroxide (Mg-Fe LDH) was synthesized by the co-precipitation process and the bead type LDH (BLDH, 5~6 mm in diameter) was manufactured by using the Mg-Fe LDH and the starch as a binder. To evaluate the feasibility of the BLDH as the As stabilizer in the soil, various experiments were performed and the As stabilization efficiency of the BLDH was compared to that of powdered type LDH (PLDH, <149 ㎛ in diameter). For the As sorption batch experiment, the As sorption efficiency of both of the PLDH and the BLDH showed higher than 99%. For the stabilization experiment with soil, the As extraction reducing efficiency of the PLDH was higher than 87%, and for the BLDH, it was higher than 80%, suggesting that the BLDH has similar the feasibility of As stabilization for the contaminated soil, compared to the PLDH. From the continuous column experiments, when more than 7% BLDH was added into the soil, the As stabilization efficiency of the column maintained at over 91% for 7 pore volume flushing (simulating about 21 months of rainfall) and slowly decreased down to 64% after that time (to 36 months) under the non-equilibrium conditions. Results suggested that more than 7% of BLDH added in As-contaminated soil could be enough to stabilize As in soil for a long time. The main As fixation mechanisms on the LDH were also identified through the X-ray fluorescence (XRF), the X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses. Results showed that the LDH has enough of an external surface adsorption capacity and an anion exchange capability at the interlayer spaces. Results of SEM/EDS and BET analyses also supported that the Mg-Fe LDH used in this study has sufficient porous structures and outer surfaces to fix the As. The reduction of carbonate (CO₃^2-) and sulfate (SO₄^2-) anions in the LDH after the reaction between As and the LDH was observed through the FT-IR, the XRF, and the XRD analyses, suggesting that the exchange of some of these anions with the arsenate (H₂AsO₄^- or HAsO₄^2-) occurs at the LDH interlayers during the stabilization process in soil.
