This study is intended as an investigation of the EK remediation characteristics of natural soil with treatment time under unsaturated conditions. EK tests are performed under the voltage gradient of 1V/cm, the degree of saturation of 82.8%, and the installing of cation exchange membrane. It was found from the results that the acid front is initially transported at 0.75cm/day and then continuously degreased until the transport velocity of the acid front is balanced to the velocity of the base front. The residual lead concentration indicated the maximum value at the treatment time of lOdays, then the increasing of treatment time largely decreases the concentration within the sample though electromigration than electroosmosis.

The objectives of this research were to study the applicability and limitations of permeable reactive barrier (PRB) for the removal of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) from the groundwater. PRB column tests were conducted using reactive material with Moringa Oleifera Mass - Bentonite (Mom-Bentonite). Most of the PCE in the groundwater was degraded and/or captured (sorpted) in the zone containing activated material (MOM-Bentonite). The removal rate of PCE from the groundwater was 90% and 75% after 30 days and 180 days, respectively. The effect of micro-organisms on the long-term permeability and reactivity of the barrier is not well understood. MOM-Bentonite PRB system in this research has the potential to be developed into an environmentally and economically acceptable technology for the in situ remediation of PCE-contaminated groundwater.

The Soil Health Index (SHI) developed by Park et al. (2021) is used to evaluate soil health on remediated soils collected from several remediation project sites and monitored the changes of SHI during the remediation process of land farming, soil washing, and thermal desorption. In the case of land farming, the soils remediated below a legal standard didn't show any significant changes in indices of SHI except the downgrade of available phosphate from medium to a low level. The SHI scores were ranged from 52 to 56 in the contaminated soil and 54 to 57 in the remediated soil. With soil washing, bulk density changed from high to a low level, and available phosphate was lowered from medium to low level. As the SHI scores were evaluated as 58 to 63 for contaminated soil and 38 to 42 for remediated soils. For thermal desorption, soil respiration rate was reduced from high to low level and SHI was scored as 50 to 51 for contaminated soils and 43 to 47 for remediated soils. Even though any abrupt changes of the SHI in remediated soils were not identified in the soils used in this study, it is expected that soil in different conditions such as types and concentrations of contaminant and soil characteristics would result in distinguished changes of the SHI. There is a room for more studies collect diverse information on SHI across the country.

점토와 같은 세립질 또는 유기물을 다량으로 함유하거나 다져진 지층을 대상으로 지중(in-situ) 정화를 진행하는 경우, 정화효율이 떨어져 정화비용이 증가하는 등의 한계가 발생한다. 또한, 토양조건이 양호하더라도 균일하지 않은 토질특성과 낮은 투수특성으로 인해 장기간에 걸쳐 정화를 수행하여 완료되는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구는 기존 지중정화의 한계를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 공압파쇄, 진공추출, 플라즈마 블라스팅을 접목한 기술(PPV공법)의 정화효과 확인과 현장 적용성을 평가하고자 수행하였다. 상대적인 비교를 위하여 본 연구에 적용된 기술을 실험군으로 하고 기존 공법인 화학적산화공법을 대조군으로 하여 TPH로 오염된 토양에서80일에 걸쳐 각각 지중정화를 수행하였으며, 총 4차에 걸쳐 모니터링 시료를 채취하여 정화효과를 비교 평가하였다. 모니터링 결과, 대조군은 정화제 전달효과가 불량하여 오염도의 감소 경향성을 보이지 않는 반면 실험군(PPV공법) 적용에서는 정화시간이 경과함에 따라 뚜렷한 오염도 저감효과가 나타난다. 주입정으로부터 거리별 TPH 최고농도 저감율을 평가하면, 대조군은 경향성이 없으나 PPV공법은 주입정 반경 1 m 이내에서는 62.6%, 1.1~2.0 m에서 90.1%, 2.1~3.0 m에서 92.1%의 정화효과를 보인다. 주입정으로부터 거리별 TPH 평균농도 저감율을 평가하면, 대조군은 실질적인 정화효과가 없으나 PPV공법은 주입정 반경 1 m 이내에서는 53.6%, 1.1~2.0 m에서 82.4%, 2.1~3.0 m에서 68.7%의 정화효과가 확인되었다. TPH 최대 및 평균 오염농도의 변화를 토대로 실험군과 대조군의 정화효율을 평가한 결과, PPV공법은 대조군 대비 149.0~184.8%의 정화효과가 상승하는 것으로 평가할 수 있으며 평균 정화효과 상승률은 약167%이다. 시간경과에 대한 TPH 농도를 분석을 통해 상관관계식을 도출하고 이를 활용하여 최초 농도 대비 80% 저감기간을 평가한 결과 PPV공법을 적용하는 경우 화학적산화공법 적용시보다 184.4%의 정화시간 단축이 가능할 것으로 평가되었다. 다만, 단일 부지에 대한 평가 결과이기 때문에 모든 지층에 동일하게 적용될 수 없으므로 향후 이에 대한 추가적인 연구를 수행하여 그 효과를 보다 면밀히 검토할 필요가 있다.

As the preservation law of soil environment has reinforced, several soil remediation projects have been performing for railroad sites. One of the main sources of soil contamination is the leakage of diesel from locomotives or underground storage tank. Also, the lubricant used to maintain turnouts causes railroad soil contamination. The purpose of this study was to develop the analysis and the remediation method for lubricant-contaminated soil. The lubricant in the contaminated soil was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) and GC (Gas Chromatography), respectively. The organic pollutants were removed from the soil using microorganisms degrading lubricant. Hereafter it will be necessary to apply this bioremediation method in the railroad field.

This study has been focused on the applicability of microwave treatment of soil contaminated by volitile organic chemicals. Substrates studied were sand and sandy soil. These substrates were impregnated with toluene, tetrachloroethylene, o-xylene and p-dichlorobenzene. The microwave treatment was conducted in a modified domestic microwave oven: 2450 MHz, 700 W. The sandy soil temperature added water went up rapidly to about 130$\circ$C for 4 minutes. And then, the temperature appeared to plateau out. A series of tests were performed to depict the effectiveness of microwave treatment technique to organic contaminants from soils. Removal efficiencies in sandy soil and sand were increased with increasing water content and exposure time. Microwave radiation penetrates the soil and heats water throughout the matrix. Therefore, addition of a certain amount of water to the contaminated soil can efficiently enhance the ability of the soil to absorb microwave energy and promote the evaporation of the volitile contaminants. And the vapour pressure of impregnated organic contaminants becomes lower. the removal efficiency becomes poor.

Hydrocarbon contamination is among the most challenging problems in soil remediation. Electrokinetic method can be a promising method to remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated soils. Electrokinetic method consists of different transport phenomena including electro-migration, electrophoresis, and electroosmotic flow. Electroosmotic flow is the main transport phenomenon for hydrocarbon removal in soil porous media. However, the main component of hydrocarbons is the hydrophobic organic which indicates low water solubility; therefore, it makes the electroosmotic flow less effective. The objective of the present study is to enhance electrokinetic remediation of diesel-contaminated silty sand by increasing the solubility of the hydrocarbons in the soil and then increase the efficiency. For this purpose, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used as a catholyte. In this content, SDS 0.05 M was used as catholyte and $Na_2SO_4$ 0.1 M was used as an anolyte. Low (1 V/cm) and high (2 V/cm) voltage gradients were used in periodic and continuous forms. The best removal efficiency was observed for high voltage gradient (2 V/cm) in a periodic form, which was 63.86. This result showed that a combination of periodic voltage application in addition to the employment of SDS is an effective method for hydrocarbon removal from low permeable sand.

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.
