Recently electrokinetic process is known to be a promising remediation technology for the contaminated soils with heavy metals, radionuclides, organic matters, and so on. The contaminants in electrokinetic technology are removed mainly by three mechanisms; electroosmosis, electromigration, and electrophoresis. When direct current is introduced between two electrodes planted in soil, a large amount of hydrogen ions is formed and moves from anode to cathode with the other cations contained in electrolyte. The water flow caused by tile movement of cations is called as electroosmosis. Especially for non-ionic pollutants, the electroosmotic flow(EOF) is the most important removal mechanism among them and transports contaminants from anode to cathode along the water flow. In this study, characteristics of electroosmotic flow was investigated according to the resistance state of soil. The decrease, maintenance, and increase of soil resistance could be obtained by controlling ions in soil. When the resistance of soil was decreasing or maintained, the EOF is proportional to electric current and voltage, respectively and when the resistance was increasing, the EOF is proportional to only electric current not voltage.

The potential of electrokinetic (EK) technology has been successfully demonstrated for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated fine-grained soils through laboratory scale and field application studies. Arsenic contamination in soil is a serious problem affecting both site use and groundwater quality. The EK technology was evaluated for the removal of arsenic from two soil samples: kaolinite clay artificially contaminated with arsenic and arsenic-bearing tailing soil taken from the Myungbong (MB) mining area. The effect of cathodic electrolyte on the process was investigated using three different types of electrolyte: deionized water (DIW), potassium phosphate (KH$_2$PO$_4$) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The result of experiments on the kaolinite clay shows that the potassium phosphate was most effective in extracting arsenic, probably resulting from anion exchange of arsenic species by phosphate. On the contrary, the sodium hydroxide seemed to be most efficient in removing arsenic from the tailing soil, and it is explained by the fact that sodium hydroxide increased the soil pH and accelerated ionic migration of arsenic species through increase in desorption and dissolution of arsenic species into pore water.

In the removal of heavy metals from the mine deposit using electrokinetic processes, the effects of operation under both constant current and constant potential conditions were estimated. The results of soil pH distributions for DDW-20 V and DDW-100 mA cases after the electrokinetic remediation tests were observed. In the former case, soil pH was not much changed and kept to almost constant value just little higher than initial soil pH of 3.52, except near the cathode, which was about pH 5. While in the latter case, soil pHs of anode and the cathode regions were less than pH 3 and about 6, respectively. The electroosmotic flow to the cathode increased rapidly till 10 hrs and decreased steadily and then maintained to constant rate until the end of operation at constant current condition. Electric potential gradient was continuously increased to as much as 34.375 V/cm. At the steady state, values of the apparent electric conductivity for DDW-20 V and DDW-100 mA were around 40 ${\mu}\textrm{s}$/cm and 30 ${\mu}\textrm{s}$/cm, respectively. In the DDW-100mA test, Cu, Cd, and Zn except Pb showed the tendency of moving toward the cathode. While in the DDW-20 V case, it was observed that Cu, Zn, and Pb except Cd were not moved to any directions. The results of the tests demonstrated that the electrokinetic soil remediation process could be operated better under constant current condition than constant electric potential condition.

수중 부유입자의 효과적인 제거 방안을 모색하고자 $CaCO_3$로 구성된 부유물의 계면화학적 특성을 고찰하였다. pH에 따른 전기영동도 측정에서는 수중 $OH^-$의 작용으로 pH가 상승함에 따라 electrokinetic potential은 음의 방향으로 변환하는 것으로 나타났다. 계면활성제는 부유물의 안정성에 영향을 끼치는 바, 계면활성제의 농도 및 전하에 따라 영향을 미치는 양상이 다르게 나타났다. 무기응집제의 경우에 있어서도 그 전하가 및 농도에 따라 부유물의 계면화학적 거동이 달라졌으며 이는 DLVO 이론에 의거하여 작성된 potential energy의 변화추이와 관련하여 이론적으로 해석될 수 있었다. Non-specific adsorption은 전기이중층의 압축을 초래하여 electrokinetic potential의 절대값 감소를 야기시켰으며 specific adsorption은 부유입자의 IEP 및 PZC가 상호 반대방향으로 이동하는 결과를 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 동전기-펜턴 공정을 이용한 phenanthrene 오염토양 정화의 타당성을 확인하기 위해서, 토양 시스템 내에서 전기삼투흐름에 의한 과산화수소의 이동과 펜턴유사 반응에 의한 phenanthrene의 산화분해 양상을 살펴보았다. 10 mA와 5 mA의 두 가지 전류 조건 중에서, 10 mA일 때 더 높은 전압경사와 전기삼투유량이 관찰되었다. 높은 전기삼투유량은 토양 내로 많은 양의 과산화수소가 이동한 것을 의미하므로, phenanthrene 제거효율이 전기삼투유량이 증가함에 따라 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 동전기 정화기술만을 이용한 토양 세척에 의해 7일간의 가동기간 동안 8.5%의 phenanthrene이 제거되었다. Phenanthrene을 직접 산화분해하기 위하여 양극 전극조를 통하여 과산화수소 용액을 토양에 공급한 경우에는 14일 동안 최고 95.6%의 제거효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험 종료 후 95.6%의 제거효율을 나타낸 토양시료를 분석한 결과 phenanthrene의 중간산물이 거의 관찰되지 않음으로써, 과산화수소의 연속적인 주입을 통하여 가동기간 중간에 생성된 중간산물들이 저분자 물질로 산화분해 되었거나 물과 이산화탄소로 분해된 것으로 추정된다.

Surfactant-enhanced electrokinetic remediation is an emerging technology that can effectively remove hydrocarbons from low-permeability soils. In this study, the electrokinetic remediation using APG(alkyl polyglucoside) was conducted for the removal of phenanthrene from kaolinite. APG, which was an environmentally compatible and non-toxic surfactant, was used at concentrations of 5, 15, and 30g/1 to enhance the solubility of phenanthrene. Also an electrolyte solution was used for considering a relation between electrical potential gradient and removal efficiency of phenanthrene. When the electrolyte solution was used, it represented low electrical potential gradient, but the removal efficiency was lower than that of no electrolyte system. Removal efficiency of phenanthrene in EK process using surfactant solution depended on concentration of surfactant. Because surfactant increased the solubility and the mobility of phenanthrene, when surfactant concentration was high, high removal efficiency was observed.

Removal of phenanthrene by electrokinetic method combined with Fenton-like process was studied in a model system. The scale of reactor was 100cm in length, 100cm in width, and 70cm in height. The distance between electrodes was 70cm. Indonesia kaoline was selected as a model soil. When constant voltage of 100 V was applied to this system, current decreased from 200 mA to 100 mA for 14 days. Total accumulated EOF was about 55,000 mL. The concentration of phenanthrene near anode was very low because direction of electroosmosis was from anode to cathode and hydrogen peroxide was supplied to anode reservoir. Phenanthrene concentration was increased as the location was far from anode because hydrogen peroxide was gradually decomposed and then the rate of hydroxyl radical production was decreased.

There are many engineering applications that demand settling acceleration and volume reduction of fine solid suspensions. It is a matter to Improve the dredged soil thickening as well as the dewatering characteristic, because settling acceleration of dredged soil decreases the scale of industrial process and volume reduction of dredged soil decreases environmetal challenge to the disposal sites. Direct electric current induces the movement of fine solid particles suspended in water. Upon formation of a soil structure, the current further induces the movement of water and contaminant in the soil skeleton. Theses phenomena are known as electrokinetics. This study investigates the viability, of using the technique of electrokinetic dewatering to river dredged soil for settling acceleration and volume reduction. The aspect, such as sedimentation velocity, final volume and current variation are discussed.

본 연구에서는 phenanthrene 오염토양 정회를 위한 동전기-펜턴 공정을 2차원 토양 정화장치에서 실시하여, 중력 및 전기삼투흐름과 관련된 phenanthrene의 제거 특성을 조사하고자 하였다. 100 V의 정전압 조건 하에서 전류는 초기 1,000에서 290 mA까지 감소하였는데, 이는 토양 내 이온들이 전기삼투 및 전기이동에 의해 유출수를 따라 밖으로 배출되어 토양의 저항이 증가하였기 때문이다. 28일의 처리기간 동안 두 개의 음극 전극조로부터 배출되어 음극 탱크에 축적된 총 전기삼투유량은 10,280 mL였으며, 전기삼투유속의 감소는 발생하지 않았다. 실험 종료 후 토양내 의 phenanthrene 잔류량은 양극 부분은 매우 낮았으며 음극으로 갈수록 증가하였다. 이것은 과산화수소를 포함한 전해질 용액이 전기삼투에 의하여 양극에서 음극으로 공급되었기 때문이다. 또한 오염물의 농도는 바닥 부분에서 낮게 나타났으며 토양의 윗부분으로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이것은 공극의 크기가 큰 토양은 토양업자 표면과 유체간에 모세관 인력이 작으므로 중력에 의한 물의 흐름이 존재하였기 때문이다. 실험 종료 후 토양 내의 대부분의 지점에서 잔류 오염물은 초기 농도의 20% 이하의 값을 나타냈으며, 동전기펜턴 공정에 의한 평균 phenanthrene 제거율은 81.4%였다. 원위치 오염토양 정화기술인 동전기펜턴 공정을 이용함으로써 다른 토양 정화기술의 한계점을 극복하고 효과적으로 오염토양을 정화할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
