  • This study was designed to investigate the effect of plant as a botanical air purification on the indoor pollution by formaldehyde. Three indoor plants such as Dracaena marhginata, Spathiphyllum and Dracaena reflexa, were placed in the artificially contaminated reactor under laboratory condition. Both plant and soil effects on removal of formaldehyde from contaminated indoor air were observed. Reductions in the formaldehyde levels appeared to have been associated with soil medium factors as well as plant factors. The effect of soil on formaldehyde reduction was high in the early stage of the experiment and the results suggest that sorption could be more important factor than microbial degradation in the initial dissipation of contaminants in the soil. It was suggested that the effect of plant on formaldehyde reduction might be related to the plant species, total leaf surface area of plant, degree of contribution of soil medium, and exposed concentration level. The results of this study showed that air purification using plants is an effective means of reduction on indoor formaldehyde level, though, utilization of soil media with high sorption capacity and/or supplementary purifying aids were also suggested when the source is continuous or exposed concentration level is high.

  • Cs$^{+}$ 이온에 대해 선택성을 갖는 ferrocyanide-음이온 교환수지를 제조하여 모의 제 염폐액 내에 존재하는 Cs$^{+}$ 이온에 대한 흡착실험을 수행하였다. 제조된 이온교환 수지가 citric acid를 주제염제로 하는 제염폐액 내에 존재하는 Cs+ 이온에 대한 흡착능력은 상용 양이온교환수지에 비해 4배 이상 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 모의 제염폐액과 선택성 이온교환수지를 접촉시킨 후 360분이 경과하면 금속이온에 대한 흡착반웅이 평형에 도달하였다. 본 연구범위에서 Co$^{2+}$ 이온농도가 필요이상 증가하게 되면 Cs$^{+}$ 이온의 흡착율은 감소하였다. 과산화수소와 히드라진을 사용한 선택성 폐 이온교환수지의 재생실험 결과 전기중성화조건을 만족시키기 위해 Cs$^{+}$ 이온이 수지로부터 용출됨을 확인하였고 열화없이 재 사용가능성을 확인하였다.

  • Remediation of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated organics, nitro aromatics, and heavy metals using zero valent iron (ZVI) filings has paid considerable attention in recent years. When the contaminants of high concentration leaked abundantly in subsurface environment, permeable reactive barrier technology using iron filing is taken a long time for the remediation of contaminated groundwater, The problem of contaminant shock is able to be solved using surfactant (hexadecyltrimethylammonium, HDTMA) modified bentonite (SMB) as immobilizing material. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to develop the combined remediation technology using conventional permeable reactive and immobilizing barrier for the enhanced decontamination of chlorinated compounds. Four column experiments were conducted to assess the performance of the mixed reactive materials with Ottawa sand, iron filing, and HDTMA-bentonite for trichloroethylene (TCE) removal under controlled groundwater flow conditions. TCE reduction rates with sand/iron filing/HDTMA-bentonite were highest among four column due to dechlorination of TCE by iron filing and sorption of TCE by SMB.

  • Surfactants have been extensively considered for decontamination of the subsurface polluted with hydrophobic organic compounds. Enhanced solubilization of naphthalene and phenanthrene in surfactant solution of SDDBS, MADS12 and DADS12 was studied for single compounds and their binary mixture. The order of increasing solubility enhancement of naphthalene and phenanthrene is SDDBS < MADS12 < DADS12. The solubility enhancement of phenanthrene is more than that of naphthalene because of the higher hydrophobicity. A synergistic effect on the solubilization of two PAHs was observed in the presence of another PAH.

  • Cotton is the major fiber crop in Pakistan that accounts for 2% of total national gross domestic product (GDP). After picking of cotton, the dry stalks are major organic waste that has no fate except burning to cook food in villages. Present research focuses use of cotton stalks as feedstock for biochar production, its characterization and effects on soil characteristics. Dry cotton stalks collected from agricultural field of Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan were combusted under anaerobic conditions at $450^{\circ}C$. The physicochemical analysis of biochar and cotton stalks show higher values of % total carbon, phosphorus and potassium concentrations in biochar as compared to cotton stalks. The concentration of nitrogen was decreased in biochar. Similarly biochar had greater values of fixed carbon that suggest its role for carbon sequestration and as a soil amendment. The fourier transformation infrared spectroscopic spectra (FTIR) of cotton stalks and biochar exposed more acidic groups in biochar as compared to cotton stalks. The newly developed functional groups in biochar have vital role in increasing surface properties, cation exchange capacity, and water holding capacity, and are responsible for heavy metal remediation in contaminated soil. In a further test, results show increase in the water holding capacity and nutrient retention by a sandy soil amended with biochar. It is concluded that cotton stalks can be effectively used to prepare biochar.

  • Soil and groundwater contamination by petroleum hydrocarbon products is only one of many environmental problems in Korea. However, many environmental consulting companies have been targeted their business on this subject because the petroleum-oil-lubricant (POL) products have been widely used product and accidental releases of the products from storages resulted numerous small and large contaminated sites throughout Korea. Therefore, many small and large companies are actively participating in environmental assessment and remediation projects for the POL contaminated sites. Remedial technologies for the POL contaminated sites have been developed for many years by government and private institutions throughout the world. Development of a new decontamination technology for the POL contaminated sites is no longer attractive issue in research community because scientific bases of most cost-effective remedial technologies are well understood and have been used in the field by commercial sector. Numerous sites contaminated by underground tanks at gas stations have been remediated by relatively small companies in this country. We should appreciate their noticeable contributions as a frontier under very difficult market environment in Korea. We heard many successful stories as well as a few failure stories. Soil-groundwater remediation of POL contaminated site is not a simple task as shown in the text books or protocols. Therefore, failure risk is always with us, which requires continuous efforts for improvement of the technologies by the users and developers. In this presentation, author will discuss technical problems encountered and improvement made during implementation of several remedial technologies applied by Samsung Environmental Team. This is not a presentation about research or case study. We want to share our thought and experience with environmental engineers actively engaged in soil and groundwater remediation projects in Korea.

  • 계면활성제를 사용하여 토양에 존재하는 소수성 유기오염물질을 제거하는 방법이 많이 연구되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 계면활성제의 구조적 차이에 따른 오염물질의 용해도 증가 효율을 평가하기 위하여 기존 계면활성제와는 다른 구조를 가진 계면활성제들을 가지고 비교·실험하였다. 그 결과 쌍둥이형 계면활성제(gemini surfactant)인 DADS12가 가장 용해도 증가율이 높게 나타났으며 머리가 두 개인 쌍두형 계면활성제(dianionic surfactant)가 일반 계면활성제인 SDDBS보다 적은 용해도 증가를 나타내었다. 이는 계면활성제의 유기탄소분율이 큰 것일수록 용해도 증가가 크고 계면활성제의 구조적 특성에 따른 마이셀의 형태나 구조에 크게 영향을 받지 않으며, 오염물질과 계면활성제 분자에다 존재하는 벤젠 고리간의 상호 인력 작용이 거의 일어나지 않거나 아주 미미한 것으로 보이며, 이에 따라 나프탈렌과 휘난트렌의 경우 오염물질의 제거 기작이 주로 마이셀 내부에 형성된 소수성 pseudophase로 오염물질이 흡수되는 것으로 추측된다.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effect of aquatic plant as a botanical air purification on the indoor air pollution by formaldehyde. Three aquatic plants such as Eichhornia crassipes, Cyperus alternifolius, Echinodorus cordifolius, were selected for this study and they were placed in the artificially contaminated chamber under laboratory condition. The results showed that all three plants could remove the formaldehyde from the contaminated air system effectively. Reduction in the formaldehyde levels by Eichhornia crassipes, which is the floating plant, might be associated with the factors of plant and water. Reduction in the formaldehyde levels by Cyperus helferi and Echinodorus cordifolius, which were emergent plant, was due to the complex effect of plant, soil medium and water. In aquatic plant system, dissolution, microbial degradation in rhizosphere, uptake through root and shoot, sorption to soil and shoot, hydrolysis are known as the main mechanisms of water soluble pollutants in the given system. The advantages of indoor air quality control system using aquatic plants can be; 1) various purifying mechanisms than foliage plants, 2) effective for decontamination of water soluble pollutants; 3) easy for maintenance; 4) diverse application potential. Therefore it was suggested from the results that indoor air control system of aquatic plants should be more effective for reduction of indoor air pollutants.

  • 기존의 오염물질을 제거하는 많은 화학적-물리적 정화 방법은 고비용과 오랜 시간을 요구하는 처리 과정 등의 단점을 갖고 있는 경우가 많았다. 따라서 흙과 수(水)환경내로 유입된 오염물질을 빠른 시간 내에 제거 할 수 있는 대안이 요구 되었다. 흙에 유출된 화합 물질 중 상당양은 흙에 의해 격리, 구속되고 이로 인해 일단 구속된 오염물질은 물과 유기 용매에 의해서도 잘 추출되지 않는 것으로 보고 되고 있다. 이러한 흙에 의한 오염물질의 비유동성(immobilization) 과정은 오염물질의 제거 기술의 대안으로 평가 될 수 있다. 기존 연구자들의 연구 결과, 화학적 혹은 물리적 반응 작용을 통해 오염물질을 흙을 구성하는 물질에 구속할 수 있음이 증명되었다. 이러한 과정 중 환경적 측면에서 볼 때, 화학적 반응이 더 우수하다 할 수 있다. 이는 강한 공유결합(covalent bonds)으로 연결될 경우 미생물의 활동이나 화학 처리로도 이를 분리하기 어렵기 때문이다. 리그닌(lignin) 분해에서 발생하는 휴믹(humic) 물질 등이 안정 된 화학적 연결을 통해 흙 매질 내에 오염물질과 결합하는 대표적 물질이다. 인위적으로 제조된 많은 화학물질은 자연적에서 발생하는 휴민산 발생원(humic acid precursors)과 닮았다. 따라서 화학물은 부식 과정(humifications process)동안 부식토(humus) 내로 병합(incorporate)되어 진다. 일단 이렇게 구성된 결합체는 생물체와 오염물질과의 반응을 방지하여 오염물질로 인한 생물체로의 독성을 감소시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 흙의 유기물(organic matter)와 오염물질과의 결합체에 대한 평가로서 다음의 항목에 대한 고찰이 이루어져야 함을 강조하였다. (a)결합체에서 생물체(biota)와의 반응에 의해 오염물질은 감소되는가\ulcorner (b) 모(parent) 화합물과 비교하여 복합체 생성물(complexed products)이 얼마나 덜 유독한가\ulcorner 그리고 (c)지하수 오염이 오염물질의 유동성 구속에 의해 얼마나 감소되는지\ulcorner

  • This paper presents preliminary laboratory investigations on the electrokinetic (EK) remediation coupled with permeable reactive barrier (PRB) system. Atomizing slag was adopted as a PRB reactive material for remediation of groundwater contaminated with inorganic and/or organic substances. A series of laboratory experiments were performed with variable conditions such as (i) type of contaminant, (ii) applied electric field strength, (iii) processing time, and (iv) the application of PRB system. From the preliminary investigations, the coupled technology of EK with PRB system would be effective to remediate contaminated grounds without the extraction of pollutants from subsurface due to the reactions between the reactive materials and contaminants.
