  • The contamination of chlorinated ethenes at an industrial complex, Wonju, Korea, was examined based on sixteen rounds of groundwater quality data collected from 2009 to 2013. Remediation technologies such as soil vapor extraction, soil flushing, biostimulation, and pumping-and-treatment have been applied to eliminate the contaminant sources of trichloroethylene (TCE) and to prevent the migration of TCE plume from remediation target zones. At each remediation target zone, temporal monitoring data before and after the application of remediation techniques showed that the aqueous concentrations of TCE plume present at and around the main source areas decreased significantly as a result of remediation technologies. However, the TCE concentration of the plumes at the downstream area remained unchanged in response to the remediation action, but it showed a great fluctuation according to seasonal recharge variation during the monitoring period. Therefore, variations in the contaminant flux across three transects were analyzed. Prior to the remediation action, the concentration and mass discharges of TCE at the transects were affected by seasonal recharge variation and residual DNAPLs sources. After the remediation, the effect of remediation took place clearly at the transects. By tracing a time-series of plume evolution, a greater variation in the TCE concentrations was detected at the plumes near the source zones compared to the relatively stable plumes in the downstream. The difference in the temporal profiles of TCE concentrations between the plumes in the source zone and those in the downstream could have resulted from remedial actions taken at the source zones. This study demonstrates that long term monitoring data are useful in assessing the effectiveness of remediation practices.

  • The goals of environmental monitoring are to locate and quantify the significant contamination, estimate the fate and transport, estimate the potential exposure and risks to humans and the environment, and track the performance of various remedial technologies. In this study, ceramic gas sensor system is proposed to enhance the effectiveness of soil vapor extraction (SVE) process by monitoring the effluent gas. SVE is a technique that is widely used to remediate unsaturated soils contaminated with volatile organic contaminants. The sensor response for benzene, toluene, and xylene, the representative effluent gas compositions of SVE process, was evaluated using the proposed sensor system. As a result, it was verified that the response of sensor was increased or decreased very sensitively according to the change of the effluent gas concentration. Besides, the sensor could detect the difference over a wide range of concentration and it was more sensitive in order of xylene, toluene, and benzene. It is expected that this VOC analysis method results in field monitoring costs saying and appropriate immediate action for process control. More detailed experiments are being conducted in our research group.

  • Cause of contamination in the study area nearby Jang Hang Refinery is dust scattering in refinery stack, and soil washing treatment is one of the proper technologies for soil remediation in this area. Site conditions frequently limit the selection of a treatment process. A treatment technology may be eliminated based on the soil classification or physicochemical characteristics of soil. This study was assessed the soil washing efficiency by conducting of soil characteristic analysis in the vicinity of Jang Hang Refinery Stack within a 2 km radius. Also, it was decided about remedial range with comparative analysis of As in soil by Korean Standard Test Method before/after revision, whereupon As concentration in soil showed a increasing tendency after revision. As a result, the soil washing using the size separation of soil was determined through identifying of As species in the soil. In this site, only particle size distribution and water content of soil can provide the initial means of screening for the potential use of soil washing.

  • Ginseng is described as the "King of all herbs, "Man-root" or "Root of heaven" and regarded as the most powerful herbal remedy, particularly grown in Korea, China, Japan, Vietnam, and North America. It has been in existence for a long time. The most demanded herbal cure, Ginseng, principally the root, has long been employed in traditional Asian medicine. The extent of availability of bioactive combinations and their impact on the body differs between American and Asian ginseng. Asian ginseng, also known as Panax ginseng, has a more calming influence and is more advantageous than American ginseng, such as Panax quinquefolius. The pharmaceutical aspect of development and extraction with diverse morphological properties is examined. Saponins, glycosides, carbohydrates, polyacetylenes, amino acids, vitamins, volatile oil, enzymes are all present in the Phyto-content of Ginseng. Ginsenosides are saponins that are constituents of the triterpenoid dammarane and have anticancer, anti-cardiovascular, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Ginseng, in particular, has the possibility to help with microbial invasion, inflammatory processes, oxidative stress, and diabetes. It developed nanoparticles and nanocomposite film technologies as novel drug delivery platforms for cancer, inflammation, and neurological illnesses. Furthermore, it offers a range of applications that will be vital for future growth.

  • '오염토양 복원작업 품셈자료 산출근거 마련을 위한 연구'에 제시된 토양증기추출법(soil vapor extraction: SVE)과 바이오파일(biopile) 시스템 구성을 바탕으로 두 오염토양 정화공정이 토양 $1,000m^3$내 총탄화수소를 95% 제거하는 전과정을 전과정평가기법을 통해 평가하였다. 전과정영향평가 결과 SVE가 9개 환경영향범주에서 모두 바이오파일에 비해 높은 환경영향수치를 나타내었다. SVE와 바이오파일, 두 정화방법 공히 토양경로 인체독성(Human toxicity-soil), 수생태독성(Ecotoxicity-water), 지표수경로 인체독성(Human toxicity-surface water), 대기경로 인체독성(Human toxicity-air) 등 4가지 범주에서 상대적으로 높은 환경영향값을 보였다. SVE방법이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 환경범주는 인체독성(토양)이었으며 바이오파일이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 환경범주는 수생태독성이었다. SVE방법의 세부 공정별 환경영향을 분석한 결과 운영단계에서 전체 환경영향의 60%를 초래하였고 활성탄교체단계가 36%를 초래하는 등 두 개 단계가 전체 환경영향의 96%를 차지하였다. 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 투입물은 운영 중 사용된 전기였다. 바이오파일 세부 공정별 환경영향 분석결과에서도 운영단계가 전체영향의 55.7%를 차지하였고 활성탄교체단계가 12.4%를 차지하였다. 바이오파일에서도 역시 전기사용에 따른 환경영향이 가장 크게 나타났다. SVE 와 바이오파일, 두 공정 모두 운영단계에서 소비되는 전기에 의한 환경영향이 가장 크므로 오염토양 정화시스템 운영 중 전기소비를 최소화 할 수 있는 운영방안이 필요하다. 오염토양 정화는 비교적 장기간 많은 에너지와 물질이 투입된다. 최근 이산화탄소발생량 감축과 녹색성장에 대한 사회적 요구에 따라 오염토양정화공정에 대한 체계적인 분석과 연구가 필요한 것으로 예상된다. 특히 운영 중 전기소비량은 전과정영향평가 및 탄소배출량 결과에 큰 영향을 미치므로 앞으로 보다 신뢰성 높은 전과정평가를 위해서 전기사용량에 대한 데이터 수집 및 확보가 가장 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

  • In addition to the measurement of the concentration of soil contaminants, the new idea of indicative parameters was proposed to validate the remedial works through the monitoring for the changes of soil characteristics after applying the clean up technologies. The parameters like CFU (colony forming unit), pH and soil texture were recommended as indicative parameters for land farming. In case of soil washing, water content and the particle size distribution of the sludge were recommended as indicative parameters. The sludge is produced through the particle separation process in soil washing and it is usually treated as a waste. The parameters like water content, organic matter content, CEC (cation exchange capacity) and CFU were recommended as indicative parameters for the low temperature thermal desorption method. Besides the indicative parameter, sampling methods in stock pile and the optimal minimum amount of composite soil sample were proposed. The rates of sampling error in regular grid, zigzag, four bearing, random grid methods were 17.3%, 17.6%, 17.2% and 16.5% respectively. The random grid method showed the minimum sampling error among the 4 kinds of sampling methods although the differences in sampling errors were very little. Therefore the random grid method was recommended as an appropriate sampling method in stock pile. It was not possible to propose a value of optimal minimum amount of composite soil sample based on the real analytical data due to the dynamic variation of $CV_{fund{\cdot}error}$. Instead of this, 355 g of soil was recommended for the optimal minimum amount of composite soil sample under the assumption of ISO 10381-8.

  • In this study, the bio-phytoremediation and phytoremediation technologies were applied to the soils contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and heavy metals to evaluate the remediation efficacy from May 2012 to December 2013. Poplar (Populus bonatii Levl.) and Sun Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) were selected and planted in phytoremediation practice. These plants were also utilized in the bio-phytoremediation practice, with the addition of earthworm (Eisenia fetida) and petroleum-degrading bacteria (Pseudomonos sp. NKNU01). Furthermore, physiological characteristics, such as photosynthesis rate and maximal photochemical yield, of all testing plants were also measured in order to assess their health conditions and tolerance levels in adverse environment. After 20 months of remedial practice, the results showed that bio-phytoremediation practice had a higher rate of TPH removal efficacy at 30-60 cm depth soil than that of phytoremediation. However, inconsistent results were discovered while analyzing the soil at 100 cm depth. The study also showed that the removal efficiency of heavy metals was lower than that of TPH after remediation treatment. The results from test field tissue sample analysis revealed that more Zinc than Chromium was absorbed and accumulated by the tested plants. Plant height measurements of Poplar and Sun Hemp showed that there were insignificant differences of growth between the plants in remediation plots and those in the control plot. Physiological data of Poplar also suggested it has higher tolerance level toward the contaminated soils. These results indicated that the two testing plants were healthy and suitable for this remediation study.

  • Recently, ex-situ remediation technologies has been emerging to clean up contaminated soils mainly because the in-situ techniques have limited applicability and technical difficulties in relatively small contaminated sites. Accordingly, implementation of off-site treatment and disposal have been continuously increased in soil remediation and restoration projects in Korea. However, in many cases, reclaimed soil is still not properly recycled or reused. Therefore, there is an urgent need to document the current status of soil management practices in soil remediation projects in the nation. This study presents a survey of soil contamination status and remedial approaches in Korea based on soil cleanup projects completed in 2015 - 2019, and proposes the possible options of the recycling or reusing the reclaimed soils under compliance with related regulations. The results of the soil survey showed soil contamination was most severe in gas stations, industrial facilities, and military areas. The major types of pollution were related to the petroleum-contaminated site (TPH and BTEX) with 77.0% occurrence in all the contaminated sites. The reclaimed soils were mostly reused as a ground filling-up soils in industrial facilities (60.0%) and warehouses (37.0%).

  • 기존에 개발된 토양 및 지하수 복원기술에는 막대한 비용과 시간이 필요하며, 실시후의 효과에 대한 예측이 어렵다. 자연내재복원기술(intrinsic remediation)은 해당 지역환경에서 자연발생되는 물리ㆍ화학ㆍ생물학적 과정을 통하여 오염물질을 감소시키는 원리를 이용하며, 인간이나 지역생태계에 허용할 수 있는 수준으로 환경을 복원함을 목표로 한다. 따라서 오염토양 및 지하수복원에 적용가능한 여러 기술과 비교하여 자연내재복원기술은 지역평가를 위한 초기비용은 높으나 전체적으로는 가장 경제적인 방법이다. 따라서 유해효과가 심각하여 긴급한 처리가 필요한 지역을 제외하고는 현재의 오염수준, 오염분포상태, 토지와 지하수 이용현황과 장래 계획에 따라 자연내재복원기술을 도입할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구는 자연내재복원기술의 적용가능성을 판단하기 위하여 생물학적 분해도(biodegradability)에 기초한 오염지역 사전평가과정을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 오염지역 사전평가과정은 기존 연구에 비하여 대상오염물질종류가 많고 다양한 지역범위를 포함함으로써 자연내재복원기술을 실용화시킬 수가 있다. 오염지역 사전평가과정은 1)예비지역조사 2)생물학적 분해도 관련자료 수집 및 평가 3)오염지역내 분해경로 선정 4)오염물질 운반과 거동 분석 5)모니터링계획 수립의 5단계로 진행된다. 1단계에서는 개략적 생물학적 분해도(rules of thumb concerning the biodegradability of organic com-pounds)에 기초한 상세조사의 계속진행여부와 오염지역자료를 이용하여 적절한 프로토콜을 결정한다. 2단계에서는 생물학적 분해도에 대한 광범위한 자료수집과 평가를 하며 3단계에서는 본 연구에서 제시한 경로중에서 오염지역에 맞는 경로를 선정한다. 4단계에서는 모델링을 위한 모델종류를 선정하여 예측하며 5단계는 자연내재복윈기술의 적용여부를 판단하여 모니터링계획을 수립하는 단계이다. 본 연구의 오염지역 사전평가과정은 사용자에게 자연내재복원기술을 이용하기 위한 합리적이고 체계적인 판단과정을 제공하여 줄 것이다. 또한 사전평가 결과 오염지역이 자연내재복원기술적용이 불가능하다고 평가되어도 이미 수집된 자료와 정보는 다른 복원기술을 선정하기 위한 기초자료로서 사용가능하다.

  • 오염된 토양의 정화방법을 선정은 토양의 지화학적 및 광물학적 특성에 근거하여 선정되어야 오염된 토양을 적절하게 정화할 수 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 비소로 오염된 토양의 적절한 정하방법 선정을 위하여 비소의 존재형태를 알아보기 위하여 토양의 지화학적 및 광물학적 특성을 연구하였다. 이 연구를 위하여 전남 광양지역의 초남 금 광산의 비소로 오염된 토양을 이용하였다. 비소오염 토양의 지화학적 및 광물학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 입도분리, 연속추출, 그리고 광물학적 분석을 실시하였다. 입도분석 결과에 따르면 비소오염토양의 무게백분율은 모래가 17-36%, 미사가 25-54%, 점토가 9-28%이며, 토성은 사양토(sandy loam), 양토(loam), 미사질 양토 (silt loam)로 나타났다. 토양의 pH는 폐 금광산 갱구 앞 토양이 4.5-6.6.으로 강산성내지 약산성을 띠었다. 비소오염 토양의 각 입도에 비소분포는 모래에 9-81%, 미사에 9-67%, 점토에 7-28% 분포하고 있었다. 연속추출 실험 결과, 비소는 철 산화물을 추출했을 때 1-75%로 검출되었으며, 추출 후 잔여물에 12-91% 잔존하고 있었다. 모래와 미사의 주 구성광물은 고령석, 사장석, 석영, 운모로 나타났으며, 부 구성광물은 철 산화물이다. 점토의 주 구성광물은 고령석, 석영, 운모, 질석이며, 부 구성광물은 철 산화물과 금홍석 은이다. 또한 점토 내 철 산화물과 운모에서 비소가 발견되었다. 이러한 결과는 비소가 철 산화물 또는 점토 광물 등에 흡착 또는 공침하여 존재하는 것으로 사료된다. 이는 비소로 오염된 토양의 지화학적 특성과 광물학적 특성을 통해 오염된 토양을 정화하는데 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
