An alternative to pump and treat groundwater remediation is the use of reactive barriers. Zero valent iron (ZVI) is particularly useful as a reductant of chlorinated hydrocarbons because of its low cost and lack of toxicity ZVI can drive the dechlorination of chlorinated organic compounds and the reduction of chromium from the Cr(Ⅵ) to the Cr(III) state. The contaminants in subsurface environment usually exist as the mixed compounds. Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the effect of the other compounds on TCE removal by ZVI. The removal mechanism of TCE by ZVI is separated the dechlorination and sorption. TCE removal by ZVI slightly increased in presence of naphthalene as the non-reduced compound. TCE removal by ZVI remarkable decreased in presence of carbon tetrachloride, nitrate, and chromate as the reduced compounds. This research suggests that the effect of the coexisted compounds on the removal chlorinated compounds by reactive barrier technology should be considered for practical application.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal effect and variation of contaminated water by various water treatment processes using sediment filter, activated carbon, photocatalysis, reverse osmosis, ultra violet sterilizer and ultra filtration. The removal effect of chloride and trace metal was low by activated carbon and ultra filter but high in reverse osmosis. The removal effect of bacteria and E. coli was low by activated carbon and membrane filter system using activated carbon but high in impregnated activated carbon. The removal effect of TCE was low in sand and ultra filter system as compared with activated carbon. Ultra filtration process was effective for purify agricultural water without E.coli. Reverse osmosis was effective to remove heavy metal and activated carbon was effective to remove halogenated organic chemical compound. The flux and the removal effect of COD in spiral wound ultrafilter were higher than the hollow fiber ultrafilter.

토양오염 정화방법의 하나인 토양증기추출법 (soil vapor extraction, SVE) 은 오염된 토양에 진공 또는 가압의 공기를 공급하여 연속적인 공기 흐름을 유도함으로써 토양의 기공에 잔류하는 유해화합물의 증발을 촉진하여 오염물질을 제거하는 공정이다. 본 연구에서는 토양증기추출법의 효율에 영향을 주는 인자들 가운데에서 토양의 수분함량과 오염물질의 종류가 오염물질의 제거효율에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험연구를 수행하였다. 인공토양으로 미세기공이 없는 glass bead, sand, 그리고 미세기공이 많고 흡착능이 강한 molecular sieve가 사용되었으며, 오염물질로는 톨루엔, 메틸에틸케톤, 트리클로로에틸렌이 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 오염물질의 탈착실험을 180분 이내로 수행하였으며, 이 범위 내에서는 인공토양으로부터의 유기화합물 탈착 현상에서 제거효율과 기공부피수, 각각에 로그를 취하였을 때 선형적 특성이 나타났다. 여기에서 기공부피수란 반응기를 통과한 공기의 부피를 기공부피로 나눈 것이다. 세 가지 유기화합물 모두 수분함량이 0%일 때 가장 낮은 제거속도를 보였으며 일정량의 수분이 포함됨으로써 유기화합물 제거에 필요한 기공부피수가 현저히 줄어듦을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 트리클로로에틸렌과 같이 밀도가 큰 유기화합물의 제거를 위해서는 많은 양의 기공부피수가 소요되며 따라서 작업시간이 매우 길어지게 되므로, 토양증기추출법 외에 다른 정화방법을 함께 사용하여야 한다. 또한 인공토양의 특성에 따른 유기화합물의 탈착현상에 대하여 조사하였으며, 미세기공의 유무가 오염물질의 탈착속도에 미치는 영향이 톨루엔과 메틸에틸케톤에서 상이하게 나타났음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 정화대상지역의 토양특성, 오염물질 등에 대한 조사를 시행한 후 SVE를 이용한 적절한 정화방법을 설계하는데 기초자료로 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

This study has been numerically conducted to investigate the removal efficiency of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in photocatalytic micro-reactor. This study has placed emphasis on the improvements of the working condition of photocatalytic micro-reactor. The micro-reactor consists of 19 microchannels with a rectangular cross-section. For the validation of the current numerical study, a computation has been carried out to simulate an existing experimental study on the cylindrical reactor, which has shown a good agreement. The degradation characteristics with different inlet concentrations and velocities have been obtained. The current results can be used for the design of advanced photocatalytic micro-reactor.

A bench-scale air biofilter was evaluated for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a gas stream. Compost and peat were used as the biological attachment media. Biofilter operating parameters such as incoming VOCs concentrations, temperature, and packing materials were examined. After 26 days of acclimation periods, at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$, the biofilter removed more than 90% of 30 to 72 mg/㎥ of total VOC. After 40 days of operation, the concentrations of isoprene, toluene, and m-xylene were reduced to 96∼99, 91∼93, and 91∼93% of the original concentrations. VOC removal efficiency was not affected by the temperature. The medium pH was maintained near neutral (pH 6.5∼7.1). After 37 days of operation, the total bacteria count in the biofilter media increased to 1.12${\times}$10(sup)8 cells/g of medium.

Ozone alone and catalytic ozone processes were introduced for treatment of humic acid, which is representative refractory organic compound. The treatment efficiencies of humic acid in each process were analyzed in pH variation, DOC removal, and $UV_{254}$ decrease. Mn loaded GAC catalyst was prepared by loading potassium permanganate onto the granular activated carbon surface. BCM-GAC and BCM-Silica gel catalyst were prepared by BCM. $UV_{254}$ decrease in all processes was comparatively high with efficiency over 87%. DOC removal in ozone/GAC process was the highest with 78%, and removal rates for other processes followed the order ozone/BCM-GAC(62%) > ozone/BCM-silica gel(45%) > ozone/silica gel(43%) > ozone/Mn Loaded GAC(42%) > ozone alone(37%).

$TiO_2$ possesses great photocatalytic properties but absorbs only UV light owing to high band gap energy (Eg = 3.2 eV). By narrowing the band gap through doping a metal ion, the photocatalytic activity can be enhanced in condition of the light of a higher than 365 nm wavelength. Main purpose for this study is to evaluate the activities of metal doped $TiO_2$ for degrading the volatile organic compounds (VOCs); p-xylene is chosen in the VOC removal test. Vanadium is selected in this study because an ionic radius of vanadium is almost the same as titanium ion and vanadium can be easily doped into $TiO_2$. V-doped $TiO_2$ was synthesized by sol-gel methods and compared with pure $TiO_2$. Pure TiO2 powder and V-doped $TiO_2$ powder were coated on glasses by spray coating method. UV-Visible spectrophotometer was used for the measurement of the band gap changes. VOC concentration degradation level was tested with using various UV light sources in an enclosed chamber. Catalytic activities of prepared samples were evaluated based on the experimental results and compared with coated pure $TiO_2$ sample.

We have investigated the excitation-light source dependence of photo-catalytic efficiency for the benzene removal. The photo-catalytic module for the benzene removal is fabricated by a combination of GaN-based ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV GaN-LED) and $TiO_2$ thin film coated on an aluminum plate. The benzene reduction rates of 365 nm and 375 nm modules at 60 mA junction current are approximately $8.95\;\%/Hr$ and $9.2\;\%/Hr$, respectively, which indicates that 365 nm GaN-LED is more effective than 375 nm GaN-LED. The benzene reduction efficiency is also noticeably dependent on the excitation wavelength and excitation-light power, as well as it is increased with the shorter wavelength and higher excitation power. This result exhibits that UV GaN-LED is useful to remove the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) existing in the environment.

본 연구는 유류 화합물 중 phenol을 대표적인 친수성 유기 화합물로, phenanthrene을 대표적인 소수성 유기오염물로 선정하여 실내에서 인위적으로 오염시킨 세립질 지반에 EK 정화 실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 유기 오염물의 제거효율을 높이기 위해 기존의 양수처리에서 향상기법으로 사용하는 계면활성제를 이용한 향상기법을 연구하였다. 실내 bench 스케일 실험결과, 물에 대한 용해도가 높은 phenol은 비교적 쉽게 제거되었지만, 용해도가 낮은 phenanthrene은 거의 제거되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 계면활성제를 적용한 향상기법에서 phenanthrene이 음극부 근처에서 누적되는 지연현상을 보였지만, 농도가 증가할수록 제거효율은 증가하였다. 가동시간을 증가시킨 실험을 통해 시간을 증가시키는 것이 계면활성제의 농도를 증가시키는 것보다 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다.
