석유계총탄화수소(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, TPHs)는 해양에 존재하는 주요 오염물질이지만 현재 해양환경공정시험기준에는 TPHs 함량분석 기준이 해수를 제외한 해저퇴적물과 해양생물에 대해서는 등재되어 있지 않기 때문에 유류 오염 관리에서 투명성이 결여될 수 있다. 한편 토양의 TPHs 함량을 조사하는 시험방법은 토양오염공정시험기준에 포함되어있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토양오염공정시험기준의 TPHs 시험방법을 근간으로 하여 실제 해양환경시료인 해저퇴적물과 해양생물 수 종의 시료를 대상으로 이의 적용성을 GC-MSD를 이용하여 정량적으로 검토하였다. 이 검토 결과를 바탕으로 분석 정도 관리를 위한 회수율 검정 방법을 새로이 제안하였고, 해저퇴적물에 포함된 황, 해양생물내의 지질, 그리고 다양한 극성물질들이 TPHs 정량에 미치는 영향을 제거하기 위한 정제과정을 추가하여 해양환경시료의 TPHs 함량시험방법을 새로 제안하였다.

The removal characteristics of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and heavy metals in contaminated soils with ultrasonic washing have been studied. The ultrasonic washing was evaluated on a laboratory scale. In this investigation, the effects of factors such as ultrasonic frequency, power intensity, duration of irradiation, contents of the TPHs and heavy metals and mixing ratios between the contaminated soils and water, were considered. Experimental results suggested that the rates for contaminant extraction of the TPHs and heavy metals in the contaminated soil increased considerably with the ultrasonic washing. Therefore, the ultrasonic washing has previously been to be an effective method to remediate the contaminated soils with the TPHs and heavy metals.

3가지 종류의 생물정화법인 natural attenuation (NA), biostimulation (BS) 및 bioaugmentation (BA) 방법을 디젤로 오염된 토양을 정화하기 위해 적용하여, 각 방법에 의한 정화효율과 미생물 활성을 계면활성제 첨가 유무(Tween 80)에 따라 비교하였다. 토양 정화 초기 단계에서는 Rhodococcus sp. EH831을 접종원으로 이용하는 BA 방법에 의한 토양 정화효율이 가장 좋았다. 3가지 생물정화방법 모두에서 계면활성제 첨가는 토양 정화효율에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 토양의 탈수소활성(DHA)과 잔류 총석유계탄화수소(TPHs) 농도는 음의 상관관계를 보였다: DHA (${\mu}g-TPF{\cdot}g$-dry $soil^{-1}\;d^{-1}$) = -0.02 ${\times}$ TPHs concentration ($mg-TPHs{\cdot}kg$-dry $soil^{-1}$) + 425.76 (2500 ${\leq}$ TPHs concentration ${\leq}$ 20000, p < 0.01).

인천연안 8개 지역 갯벌의 72개 지점의 표층퇴적물과 24개 지점의 주상퇴적물 시료를 2011년 봄 가을 2회에 걸쳐 채취하여, 다환방향족탄화수소(PAHs), 석유계총탄화수소(TPHs) 및 벤젠-톨루엔-에틸벤젠-자일렌(BTEX)의 시 공간적 농도분포 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 PAHs 화합물 구성비에 의한 오염발생기원을 평가하였다. 갯벌 전체의 PAHs 평균농도는 $95.62{\mu}g/kg$으로 조사되었고, 계절별 PAHs 농도분포는 가을철이 봄철보다 낮은 특징을 보였다. 주상퇴적물의 PAHs 농도가 표층퇴적물보다 높았으며, 주상퇴적물의 상부가 하부보다 높은 농도분포를 보였다. 전체 갯벌의 TPHs 평균농도는 46 mg/kg으로 조사되었고, TPHs 평균농도 분포 양상은 봄철보다 가을철이 현저하게 높고, 표층퇴적물이 주상퇴적물보다 높게 나타났다. 갯벌 퇴적물내 PAHs의 오염발생 기원을 평가한 결과, 장화리 갯벌의 표층퇴적물과 소래 및 옥련 갯벌의 주상퇴적물의 PAHs 배출원은 연소와 석유류기원으로 조사되었고, 나머지 모든 갯벌은 연소기원으로 나타났다.

Coagulation-flocculation (CF) was tested coupled with an aerobic biofilter to reduce total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPHs) concentration and toxicity from petrochemical wastewater. The efficiency of the process was followed using turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The biofilter was packed with a basaltic waste (tezontle) and inoculated with a bacterial consortium. Toxicity test were carried out using Lactuca sativa var. capitata seeds. Best results for turbidity removal were obtained using alum. Considerable turbidity removal was obtained when using Opuntia spp. COD removal with alum was 25%, for Opuntia powder it was 36%. The application of the biofilter allowed the removal of 70% of the remaining TPHs after 30 days with a biodegradation rate (BDR) value 47 $mgL^{-1}d^{-1}$. COD removal was slightly higher with BDR value 63 $mgL^{-1}d^{-1}$. TPH kinetics allowed a degradation rate constant equal to $4.05{\times}10^{-2}d^{-1}$. COD removal showed similar trend with $k=4.23{\times}10^{-2}d^{-1}$. Toxicity reduction was also successfully achieved by the combined treatment process.

Objective: This research was performed to evaluate the state of oil pollution in an area surrounding a railway station that has over 100 years of business history as a railway station in S City, Korea. The amount of polluted soil was estimated, and the target area for remediation was assessed in this study to restore the oil-polluted area. Methods: To accomplish this aim, five observation wells were installed for the sampling of groundwater, and soil was sampled at 33 points. Electric resistance studies and a trench investigation were undertaken to understand the geological conditions of the site, and the groundwater movement in this area was simulated by MODFLOW. Physiochemical analyses were conducted to determine the quality of the groundwater and the current state of oil pollution influenced by that of the soil. Results: The mean level of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in this area was 1,059 mg/kg, and the area for remediation was determined to be 7,610 mg/kg. Levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) were determined to be under the legal standard. Conclusion: In terms of depth, the biggest area polluted by TPH found was between 0 and 1 m from ground level, and the affected area was 5,900 $m^3$. TPHs were not detected in groundwater. Diesel and lubricating oil were the main causes of TPH pollution at this railway station.

Biocatalytic degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in contaminated soil by hemoglobin and hydrogen peroxide is an effective soil remediation method. This study used a laboratory soil reactor experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of a nonspecific biocatalytic reaction with hemoglobin and H₂O₂ for treating TPH-contaminated soil. We also quantified changes in the soil microbial community using real-time PCR analysis during the experimental treatment. The results show that the measured rate constant for the reaction with added hemoglobin was 0.051/day, about 3.5 times higher than the constant for the reaction with only H₂O₂ (0.014/day). After four weeks of treatment, 76% of the initial soil TPH concentration was removed with hemoglobin and hydrogen peroxide treatment. The removal of initial soil TPH concentration was 26% when only hydrogen peroxide was used. The soil microbial community, based on 16S rRNA gene copy number, was higher (7.1 × 10⁶ copy number/g of bacteria, and 7.4 × 10⁵ copy number/g of Archaea, respectively) in the hemoglobin catalyzed treatment. Our results show that TPH treatment in contaminated soil using hemoglobin catalyzed oxidation led to the enhanced removal effectiveness and was non-toxic to the native soil microbial community in the initial soil.

The three processes of 1) high- & low-temperature microwave heatings, 2) the soil washing, and 3) the thermal desorption processes in soil remediation are analysed on the treatment cost data for 2003-2012 years. The cost of microwave heating method with at temperature 500-700℃, for 30 minutes, and at 4-6 kW is approximately 10 $/ton (13,000 ₩) due to the deep through heating of micro-wave, the soil washing with chemicals is about 80 $/ton (85,000 ₩) due to the chemicals & duration, and the thermal desorption process is around 40 $/ton (41,000 ₩) from the less efficiency. Furthermore the sustainability has been assessed, and suggestions are made. 1) Green; the minimal environmental footprint, 2) Growth; the least cost, 3) Shared; the social & environmental justice, 4) Smart; the microwave characteristics of deep through irradiation & heating, and 5) Mutuality; the flexibility of the technology. More additives including water, the government support, and public relation are suggested realizing the microwave in this condition is not harmful to human beings.

Rapid industrialization has brought Nam-Hae area serious environmental problems associated with released oil and other hydrocarbons. In this work, in order to enhance the quality of the shoreline sediment we made enviro-chemical analyses of its substances, TPHs and microbial growth after treating with oxygen releasing compound(ORC) such as $MgO_2$. Total organic compound(TOC) was reduced from 33.45% to 25.1~31.08% meanwhile COD decreased from 27.5~28.9mg/$g{\cdot}dry$ to 19.9~26.1mg/$g{\cdot}dry$ for input of 2~10% $MgO_2$ in 20days. For 10% $MgO_2$ input, TP and TN were reduced by 13.3% and 18.8%, respectively. Most of all TPH was decomposed by max. 42.4% in 21days, and the total viable count of microbes was found to be exponentially increased by 75.9%.
