Simultaneous removal of heavy metals (Cd, Pb) and diesel-fuel from a soil column was evaluated by respectively flushing with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution, mixture of SDS and sodium iodide (SDS + NaI), and surfactant foam (SDS + NaI foam). First, this study evaluated these flushing methods to the heavy metals only-contaminated soil for removal of heavy metals from the heavy-metal only contaminated soil column. After 7 pore volume flushing of the soil column, Cd removal efficiencies from the soil were 40% by SDS solution, 50% by SDS + NaI mixture, and 60% by surfactant foam. The flushing results implied that anionic surfactant and ligand can be efficiently applied to extraction of Cd from the heavy metal contaminated soil. Furthermore, surfactant foam flushing showed an increased flushing efficiency with enhancing the contact between surfactant solution and soil. However, Pb removal efficiency by these flushing methods did not show any difference unlike those of Cd. Second, this study eventually evaluated flushing methods for simultaneous removal of heavy metals and diesel-fuel from the soil column with 7 pore volume flushing. Diesel-fuel removal efficiencies were 50% by SDS + NaI flushing and 90% by SDS + NaI foam flushing. Cd removal efficiency by the foam flushing reached to 80% which was higher than the result of the previous heavy metals onlycontaminated soil experiment. This result implied that diesel-fuel could act as a metal-solvent while it contacted to heavy metals present in the soil. This study clearly showed that surfactant foam flushing simultaneously removed heavy metals and diesel fuel from the soil column.

Several tests were conducted to optimize the design parameters of ln-situ soil flushing processes for diesel contaminated soil. According to the batch extraction test for three anionic surfactants evaluation, Calgonit limiting bubble occurrence was selected for its higher oil cleaning efficiency. After optimum surfactant selection, there were many sets of column flushing test. Over 70% of BTEX was removed in this surfactant dose with 400% of soil volume. In the case of no surfactant addition flushing in column, so called "blank flushing test", BTEX removal rate was 64%. But when we reused the effluent for the cleaning solution, the removal rate was decreased to 46.9%. This result showed reabsorption of oil occurred on the soil. With the addition of Calgonit solution to the diesel contaminated column, BTEX was removed up to 98.9% during the first flushing and 99.4% for the second recirculation flushing. In microcosm tests, diesel contaminated soils were cleaned by both surfactant flushing and biological activities. In anoxic condition, nitrate was used as an electron acceptor while the surfactant and the oil were used an electron donor. BTEX removal efficiency could be achieved up to 80% by biological degradation.

BTEX로 오염된 혼합토(사질토/점토)의 정화를 위한 계면활성제 기법의 적용성 및 제거효율에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 초기농도 275mg/kg으로부터 1975mg/kg의 BTEX로 오염시킨 8개의 컬럼에 물, methyl alcohol과 계면활성제 용액을 주입하였고 이때 계면활성제와 첨가물의 혼합과 비혼합시에 대해 제거거동을 비교 분석하였다. 물을 이용한 흙 세척법의 적용 결과 850 간극부피의 물을 주입하여 98%의 제거 효율을 보였으나 8mg/kg 이하의 저농도에서는 더 이상 제거가 이루어지지 않고 일정한 양상을 가지는 tailing effect를 보였다. 본 실험 결과 가장 우수한 조건은3% ethyl alcohol과 3% SXS를 첨가한 4% SOFTANOL(equation omitted)-90을 간헐적으로 주입한 경우였으며 이 때 95 간극부피에서 99.5%의 제거효율을 보였다. 실험결과 물을 주입하였을 경우 850 간극부피를 주입한 반면, 계면활성제 적용시 95-165 간극부피에서 84.5%-99.5%의 제거효율을 보였는데 이는 계면활성제 기법을 오염된 지반 정화에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있음을 나타내는 것이다.

The removal of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) from groundwater using pure water, via pump and treat, is quite ineffective due to their low solubility and hydrophobicity. Therefore, the objectives of pilot tests were to select potentially suitable surfactants that solubilize tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) present as contaminants and to evaluate the optimal range of process parameters that can increase the removal efficiency in surfactant-enhanced soil flushing (SESF). Used experimental method for surfactant selection was batch experiments. The surfactant solution parameters for SESF pilot tests were surfactant solution concentration, surfactant solution pH, and the flow rate of surfactant solution in the SESF pilot system. Based on the batch experiments for surfactant selection, DOSL (an anionic surfactant) was selected as a suitable surfactant that solubilizes PCE and TCE present as contaminants. The highest recovery (95%) of the contaminants was obtained using a DOSL surfactant in the batch experiments. The pilot test results revealed that the optimum conditions were achieved with a surfactant solution concentration of 4% (v/v), a surfactant solution pH of 7.5, and a flow rate of 30 L/min of surfactant solution (Lee and Woo, 2015). The maximum removal of contaminants (89%) was obtained when optimum conditions were simultaneously met in pilot-scale SESF operations. These results confirm the viability of SESF for treating PCE and TCE-contaminated groundwater.

Surfactant enhanced in-situ soil flushing was peformed to remediate the soil and groundwater at an oil contaminated site, and the effluent solution was treated by the chemical treatment process including DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation). A section from the contaminated site(4.5m$\times$4.5m$\times$6.0m) was selected for the research, which was composed of heterogeneous sandy and silt-sandy soils with average Hydraulic conductivity of 2.0$\times$10$^{-4}$ cm/sec. Two percent of sorbitan monooleate(POE 20) and 0.07% of iso-prophyl alcohol were mixed for the surfactant solution and 3 pore volumes of surfactant solution were injected to remove oil from the contaminant section. Four injection wells and two extraction wells were built in the section to flush surfactant solution. Water samples taken from extraction wells and the storage tank were analyzed by GC(gas-chromatography) for TPH concentration with different time. Five pore volumes of solution were extracted while TPH concentration in soil and groundwater at the section were below the Waste Water Discharge Limit(WWDL). Total 18.5kg of oil (TPH) was removed from the section. The concentration of heavy metals in the effluent solution also increased with the increase of TPH concentration, suggesting that the surfactant enhanced in-situ flushing be available to remove not only oil but heavy metals from contaminated sites. Results suggest that in-situ soil flushing and chemical treatment process including DAF could be a successful process to remediate contaminated sites distributed in Korea.

We applied the density-surfactant-motivated method to the removal of DNAPL within a rough-walled single fracture. Observations are made to compare the DNAPL residual distribution before and after the flushing of surfactant-enhanced solution or water flushing. Results show that density-motivated method with surfactant-enhanced solution effectively removed DNAPL in a single fracture.

Three kinds of experiments were conducted to test existing methods and develop an effective methodology for the remediation of DNAPL trapped in vertical dead-end fractures. A water-flushing method failed to remove TCE from vertical dead-end fractures where no fluid flow occurs. A water-flushing experiment implies that existing remediation methods, utilizing water-based remedial fluid such as surfactant-enhanced method, have difficulty in removing DNAPL trapped from the vertical downward dead-end fractures, because of no water flow through dead-end fractures, capillary, and gravity forces. Fluid denser than TCE was injected into the fracture network, but did not displace TCE from the vertical dead-end fractures. Base(B on the analysis of the experiments, the increase in the density of the dense fluid and the addition of surfactant to the dense fluid were suggested, and this composite dense fluid with surfactant effectively removed TCE from the vertical dead-end fractures.

본 연구에서는 PAHs 중에서 흔히 높은 농도로 발견되고 있는 나프탈렌 오염토양에 대하여 지중토양세정으로 세정한 후 세정된 용액을 고분자 응집제로 처리하였다. 오염물질로는 2-methylnaphtalene과 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene을 사용하였다. 세정용액으로는 POE12와 SDS를 1 : 1 (부피비)로 혼합한 계면활성제를 사용하였다. 혼합계면활성제의 주입횟수를 5 pore volume까지 증가시켰을 때 2-methylnaphtalene의 세정효율은 지수적으로 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene의 제거율은 다소 선형적으로 증가하여 각각 약 80%와 60%가 세정되었다. 13 pore volume으로 세정한 후 2-methylnaphtalene과 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene의 세정효율은 각각 약 90%와 82%로 2-methylnaphtalene이 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene 보다 다소 높았으나, 물에 의하여 세정된 부분을 보정하면 약 42%와 71%로 상대적으로 소수성인 1,5-dimethylnaphtalene의 세정효율이 더 높았다. 약 10,000 mg/kg(건조토양)의 디젤 TPH는 5 pore volume의 주입에서 약 40%의 세정효율만을 나타내었으며, 추가적으로 13 pore volume까지 첨가하였을 때 약 70%의 세정효율을 보였다. 그러나 디젤내 나프탈렌 성분은 세정용액을 4 pore volume 까지 주입하였을 때까지 세정효율이 급격히 증가하였으며, 5 pore volume을 가하였을 때 90%가 세정되어 디젤 TPH의 40%보다 두 배 이상 높은 세정효율을 나타내었다. 2-Methylnaphthalene과 1,5-dimethylnaphthalene 오염토양 용출세정액은 6가지 고분자 응집제로 처리한 결과 응집제 모두 50% 부근의 비슷한 제거율을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 석유계총탄화수소와 톨루엔을 토양세정에 의해 제거하기 위하여 일련의 실험을 수행하였다. 회분식 실험 결과 Triton X-100과 SWA 1503의 경우 각각 79.0%와 69.0%의 TPH 제거효율을 나타내었다. 계면활성제의 농도 1-11mmol/L에서 계면활성제 농도 증가에 따라 TPH 제거효율은 증가하였으나 주입량 대비 제거효율 고려 시 최적 농도는 1mmol/L로 나타났다. 칼럼 실험 결과 최적의 유속은 0.3mL/min으로 나타났다. PAM(Physical Aquifer Model) 실험 결과 3 PV(Pore Volume) 동안 토양세정을 통해 주입한 톨루엔 중 약 5.5%가 제거된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 토양세정의 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 계면활성제의 재순화 또는 재이용을 통한 최적 운전조건의 도출이 필요하다.

Column experiments were peformed to evaluate the efficiency of surfactant flushing for remediation of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) in the soil under controlled conditions. In column experiment less than 0.1 % of the original mass of tetrachloroethylene (PCE), remained in the column after 15 pore volumes of 1% sorbitan monooleate solution were passed through columns. To determine the influence of soil parameters that may affect the remediation process, column tests were repeated with different values of grain size, application rate, surfactant type, surfactant concentration, and solution viscosity (polymer mixed with surfactant). Experimental works suggest that surfactant flushing has a great potential to rapidly remove mass from NAPL in the soil.
