Laboratory analytical results of 22 sets of hydrophobic adsorbent coils containing surface soil-vapor and two soil samples collected by conventional intrusive method from each boring location at two active dry cleaning facilities in the State of Illinois, U.S.A, were presented to evaluate the performance of soil-vapor survey. The most critical factor to determine the effectiveness of soil-vapor survey is the distance from the soil-vapor sampling device to the actual contamination, which is a function of soil porosity, permeability, primary lithology, and other geological and hydrogeological site-specific parameters. Also this factor can be affected by the history of contaminant-generating operations. The laboratory analytical results in this study showed longer dry cleaning operation history (i.e., 50 years) and presence of fine sand at the beneath Site B allow the contaminants to migrate farther and deeper over a fixed time compared to Site A(i.e., 35 years and silty clay) so that the soil-vapor survey is not likely the most effective environmental site investigation method alone for Site B. However, for Site A, the soil-vapor survey successfully screened the site to identify the location reporting the highest soil concentration of chlorinated solvents.

The soil concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured at 12 sites in Ansung, Kyonggi province, Korea. Correlation coefficient (r) between total PCBs and organic matter content (OM) was significant (r=0.562, p< 0.05). It suggests that organic matter may be a key factor of soil absorption of PCBs. The PCB concentrations of low chlorinated congeners with high vapor pressure were relatively abundant in air but high chlorinated congeners with low vapor pressure were mainly dominated by soil. The results indicated the influence of physicochemical properties of PCBs such as vapor pressure, octanol - air partition coefficient ( $K_{OA}$ ). The calculated soil/air fugacity quotients suggested that the soil may be a source of heavier molecular PCBs (>penta-CBs) to the atmosphere, where lighter molecular PCBs appear to be affected by a movement from air to soil, especially tetra-CBs. Therefore, PCB homologs with low vapor pressure might have been influenced by revolatilization from soil.

When the soil vapor extraction as a remediation method of contaminated soil and groundwater has been used, the effects of curtain wall, mode of pump operation were examined by numerical simulation. Consequently, it was found that the removal rate was enhanced in case that the curtain wall was established around the extraction well with the extraction pumps operated alternatively. It was because that the removal of high density gas around the extraction well was possible.

In this paper, removal of diesel hydrocarbons (C$_{10}$-C$_{22}$) for dry and moist soil was investigated so that microwave-enhanced soil vapor extraction(SVE) reduced soil treatment time and raised remediation efficiency. Kinetic constants of diesel hydrocarbons with microwave energy were 7 times on dry soil and 1580 times on moist soil as much as those of SVE process without microwave energy. The diesel removals were 67.7～78.4% for $C_{10}$ and $C_{12}$, and 0～18.5% for $C_{14}$～C$_{22}$ for dry and moist soil with SVE process only. On the other hand, dry soil with microwave-enhanced SVE process showed 89.3～99.4% removal for $C_{10}$ and $C_{12}$ and 35.6～67.0% for hydrocarbons over $C_{14}$. All hydrocarbons(C$_{10}$～C$_{22}$) studied were significantly removed (93.6～99.8%) for moist soil with microwave-enhanced SVE process. Almost all diesel hydrocarbons were usually considered as semi-volatile compounds(SVOCs). Microwave-enhanced SVE process might have a great potential for remediation of soils contaminated with SVOCs.OCs.

In this study, a risk-based cleanup approach using the leaching potential was suggested for the soil vapor extraction (SVE) process. A multi-component model was adopted with local equilibrium assumption (LEA), and Raoult's law was applied to estimate the leaching potential for BTEX. Finally, a risk analysis was conducted based on the leaching pontential calculated. To complete the feasibility of this approach, more investigations and discussions will be required in future.

Studies using stable water vapor isotopes have been recently conducted over the past two decades because of difficulties in analysis and sample collection in the past. Stable water vapor isotope data provide information of the moisture transport from ocean to continent, which are also used to validate an isotope enabled general circulation model for paleoclimate reconstructions. The isotopic compositions of groundwater and water vapor also provide a clue to how moisture moves from soil to atmosphere by evapotranspiration. International Atomic Energy Agency designates the stations over the world to observe the water vapor isotopes. To analyze the water vapor isotopes, a cryogenic sampling method has been used over the past two decades. Recently, two types of laser-based spectroscopy have been developed and remotely sensed data from satellites have the global coverage. In this review, measurements of isotopic compositions of water vapor will be introduced and some studies using the water vapor isotopes will also be introduced. Finally, we will suggest the future study in Korea.

본 연구에서는 유류가 오염된 토양을 복원하기 위해 실제 현장의 토양성상과 오염현황을 조사하고 이 자료를 바탕으로 in situ복원기술인 토양증기추출법을 적용할 때 복원효율에 영향을 미치는 토양증기추출 장치의 운전조건과 토양성상의 영향을 검토하였다. 본 부지는 지하저장고에서 누출된 휘발유가 오염되어 있었고 그 농도는 BTEX가 최대 1.081ppm, TPH가 최대 5,548ppm이 포함되어 있었으며, 장기간에 걸쳐 지하 6m깊이까지 확산되어 오염물의 분포 면적은 170$\textrm{m}^2$, 오염토양의 총 부피는 약 1,000$\textrm{m}^3$으로 추산되었다. 오염부지의 토양은 지하 3~4m까지는 사질매립토이고 지하 4~6m에서는 불균질한 점토질이 섞인 미사토였으며 토양의 공기투수계수는 1.058-1.077$\times$$10^6$$\textrm{mm}^2$이었다. 이 부지내 일부지역에 지하수 흐름이 있으며 지하수위는 지하 약 3~4m부터 존재하였고 지하6m이하에는 암반이 존재하였다. 이 부지에 깊이 6m인 8개의 추출정과 7.5마력 용량의 진공펌프가 포함된 토양증기추출 장치를 설치하여 하루 8시간씩 100일간 운전한 결과 지하수가 존재하지 않는 사질토양에 있었던 BTEX는 90%이상의 효율로 제거하였으나 지하수대가 존재하는 지역에서는 BTEX와 TPH의 제거효율이 대폭 낮아졌다. 또한 토양증기장치에 의해 유도된 토양내 공기흐름은 토양깊이가 깊어질수록 공기 흐름량은 감소하여 복원효율이 떨어졌다.

Soil vapor extraction(SVE) is an effective and cost efficient method of removing volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and petroleum hydrocarbons from unsaturated soils. However, soil vapor extraction becomes ineffective in soils with low gas permeability, for example soils with air permeabilities less than 1 Darcy. Prefabricated vertical drains(PVDs) have been used for dewatering fine-grained soils for more than 25 years. Incorporating PVDs in and SVE system can extend the effectiveness of SVE to lower permeability soils by shortening the air flow-paths and ultimately expediting contaminant removal. The objective of the work described herein was to effectively incorporate PVDs into a SVE remediation system and to demonstrate a PVDs enhanced SVE system at full scale. The finding from this research will facilitate the design of field PVD-SVE systems in terms by providing insight into the optimal spacing between PVDs, the radius of influence of the wells and the flow rates to be used to capture and extract gas phase contaminants.

This paper reports the experimental results for the determination of the overall partition coefficient of VOCs in unsaturated soil, A chromatographic method was used for the determination of gaseous partition coefficients to natural soil under various water content conditions. The equilibrium vapor pressure of water over saturated salt solution was used to fix the relative humidity of the air and control the water content of the soil systems. The transport behavior was studied for dichloromethane, trichloroethane and dichlorobenzene pollutants, with log octanol-water partition coefficients(log $K_{ow}$ ) which range from 1.25 to 3.39, or water to soil partitioning which varies by 135 times; water solubility constants which vary by 3 times; and vapor pressures which range from 1 to 362 torr. Water content of the soil had a pronounced effect on the effective partition coefficient(between gas and soil + water stationary phase) as well as on the effective dispersion coefficient.

본 연구에서는 토양의 전기가열 특성을 실험을 통해 규명함으로서, 전기저항열을 이용한 토양증기추출법을 실제 현장에 적용 시 토양가열 효율을 증가시키는 방안을 도출하기 위하여, 반응조를 이용한 토양 종류별 자체 특성에 따른 가열 특성과 외부에서의 전기적 특성의 조절을 통한 가열 특성을 살펴보았다 토양의 업자가 작을수록, 토양 내 이 온이 풍부할수록 전기가열 효율이 증가되었으며, 토양이 물로 포화된 경우에도 전기 가열 효율이 증가하였으나 공극률 이상으로 수분이 있는 경우는 오히려 효율이 떨어졌다. 전압이 증가할수록, 전극 사이가 짧아질수록, 유류 오염된 토양일수록 효율은 증가되었다 본 연구에서는 초기 전류와 전기전도도의 정량적 상관관계를 도출함으로써 직접적인 전기가열 실험 없이 전기전도도로 반응조 내 토양이 $100^{\circ}C$ 온도 상승의 가능성을 예측할 수 있게 됐다.
