지하수계의 근간을 이루는 토양시스템은 유기화학물질에 오염되기 쉬운 환경에 놓인다. 이러한 토양의 유기화학물질 침투 거동을 평가하기 위해 점토, 실트 및 모래로 구성된 실험장치에 유기화학 물질 이동실험을 하였다. Chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane 및 trichloroethylene은 토양을 통해 이동이 쉽게 이루어지며, 투과된 오염물질의 질량은 전체 질량의 최소 4.6에서 최대 19.2% 범위를 보였다. Tetrachloroethylene Tetrachloroethylene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene 및 1,3-dichlorobenzene은 토양 흡착에 의해 이동이 지연되어졌으며, 각 매개체의 0.6 ~ 4.8%가 표층에서 여과되는데 이용되었다. Carbon tetrachloride는 거의 투과되지 못하였고, 단지 0.1 ~ 0.4% 질량만이 침투거동에 도달하였다. Bromoform은 거의 투과되지 못하였으며, 브롬화(Br) 화합물의 중간 전환물질로도 확인되었다. 유기화학오염물들의 이동은 토양입자크기 및 수리전도도 등에 따라 달라진다고 여겨지나 본 연구에서는 유기화학오염물들의 이동은 점토, 실트 토양보다 모래 토양에서 더욱 빠르게 나타났다.

We evaluated the properties of a fixed-bed column reactor for high-concentration tetrachloroethylene (PCE) removal. The anaerobic bacterium Clostridium bifermentans DPH-1 was able to dechlorinate PCE to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cDCE) via trichloroethylene (TCE) at high rates in the monoculture biofilm of an upflow fixed-bed column reactor. The first-order reaction rate of C. bifermentans DPH-1 was relatively high at $0.006\;mg\;protein^{-1}{\cdot}l{\cdot}h^{-1}$, and comparable to rates obtained by others. When we gradually raised the influent PCE concentration from $30\;{\mu}M$ to $905\;{\mu}M$, the degree of PCE dechlorination rose to over 99% during the operation period of 2,000 h. In order to maintain efficiency of transformation of PCE in this reactor system, more than 6 h hydraulic retention time (HRT) is required. The maximum volumetric dechlorination rate of PCE was determined to be $1,100\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}d^{-1}l$ of reactor $volume^{-1}$, which is relatively high compared to rates reported previously. The results of this study indicate that the PCE removal performance of this fixed-bed reactor immobilized mono-culture is comparable to that of a fixed-bed reactor mixture culture system. Furthermore, our system has the major advantage of a rapid (5 days) start-up time for the reactor. The flow characteristics of this reactor are intermediate between those of the plug-flow and complete-mix systems. Biotransformation of PCE into innocuous compounds is desirable; however, unfortunately cDCE, which is itself toxic, was the main product of PCE dechlorination in this reactor system. In order to establish a system for complete detoxification of PCE, co-immobilization of C. bifermentans DPH-1 with other bacteria that degrade cDCE aerobically or anaerobically to ethene or ethane may be effective.

Among the combination of 4 different second metals and 3 different noble metals, Ni 10%-Pd 1%/hematite (Ni(10)-Pd(1)/H) showed best tetrachloroethylene (PCE) removal (75.8%) and production of non-toxic products (39.8%) in closed batch reactors under an anaerobic condition. The effect of environmental factors (pH, contents of Ni and Pd in catalyst, and hydrogen gas concentration) on the reductive dechlorination of PCE by Pd-Ni/hematite catalysts was investigated. PCE was degraded less at the condition of Ni(5)/H (13.7%) than at the same condition with Ni(10)/H (20.6%). Removals of PCE were rarely influenced by the experimental condition of different Pd amounts (Pd(1)/H and Pd(3)/H). Acidic to neutral pH conditions were favorable to the degradation of PCE, compared to the alkaline condition (pH 10). Increasing Ni contents from 1 to 10% increased the PCE removal to 89.8% in 6 hr. However, the removal decreased to 74.2% at Ni content of 20%. Meanwhile, increasing Pd contents to 6% showed no difference in PCE removal at Pd content of more than 1%. Increasing H2 concentration increased the removal of PCE until 4% H2 which was maximumly applied in this study. Chlorinated products such as trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride were not observed while PCE was transformed to acetylene (24%), ethylene (5%), and ethane (11%) by Ni(10)-Pd(1)/H catalyst in 6hr.

A number of different methods have been used for modeling the sorption of volatile organic chlorinated compounds such as tetrachloroethylene/perchloroethylene (PCE). In this study, PCE was adsorbed in several natural sorbents, i.e., Pahokee peat, vermicompost, BionSoil^®, and natural soil, in the batch experiments. Several sorption models such as linear, Freundlich, solubility-normalized Freundlich model, and Polanyi-Manes model (PMM) were used to analyze sorption isotherms. The relationship between sorption model parameters, organic carbon content (f_oc), and elemental C/N ratio was studied. The organic carbon normalized partition coefficient values (log K_oc = 1.50-3.13) in four different sorbents were less than the logarithm of the octanol-water partition coefficient (log K_ow = 3.40) of PCE due to high organic carbon contents. The log K_oc decreased linearly with log f_oc and log C/N ratio, but increased linearly with log O/C, log H/C, and log (N+O)/C ratio. Both log K_F,oc or log K_F,oc decreased linearly with log f_oc (R² = 0.88-0.92) and log C/N ratio (R² = 0.57-0.76), but increased linearly with log (N+O)/C (R² = 0.93-0.95). The log q_max,oc decreased linearly as log f_oc and log C/N increased, whereas it increased with log O/C, log H/C and log (N+O)/C ratios. The log q_max,oc increased linearly with (N+O)/C indicating a strong dependence of q_max,oc on the polarity index. The results showed that PCE sorption behaviors were strongly correlated with the physicochemical properties of soil organic matter (SOM).

Effects of surfactants and natural organic matter (NOM) on the sorption and reduction of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and chromate with iron were examined in this study. PCE and chromate reduction by iron depended on the ionic type of the surfactants in this study. The apparent reaction rate constants of PCE with Triton X-100 and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium (HDTMA) at one half and two times of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) were relatively higher than without surfactants because of the enhanced PCE partitioning and surface concentration. In the presence of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDDBS) at 2000 mg/L and NOM at 50 mg/L, the apparent reaction rate constants of PCE increased, but TCE production decreased. The enhanced removal rate of PCE was not due to the dechlorination, and the sorption was dominant iron with SDDBS and NOM. The apparent reaction rate constants of chromate by iron with Triton X-100 and NOM were 1.4-3.1 times lower than without surfactants while that with HDTMA was two times higher than without HDTMA, When the sorbed HDTMA molecules form admicelles, negatively-charged chromate has an affinity for the positively-charged HDTMA head group.

The effect of $O_3$, $O_3/pH$, and $O_3/H_2O_2$, $O_3/UV$, and $H_2O_2/UV$ advanced oxidation process(AOP) were investigated for the treatment of tetrachloroethylen(PCE) at various condition. The removal efficiency of 10, 20, and 30ppm PCE by ozonation were almost same, only about 60%. And pseudo first-order rate constants, ko for overall oxidation was about 0.097($min^{-1}$). In the $O_3/pH$ AOP experiment for the 20ppm PCE, the removal rate of PCE increased with the increase of pH. However, mineralization rate of PCE at pH 7 was higher than at pH 10. In the $O_3/H_2O_2$ AOP, the removal rate of PCE was the highest at peroxide-to-ozone dosage ratio of about 0.9, which PCE was removed over 99.95%. Despite 42% of PCE was directly photolyzed by the UV irradiation, the removal efficiency of PCE by $O_3/UV$ AOP was only about 70%. In $H_2O_2/UV$ AOP, the removal efficiency of PCE increased to about 98% in proportion to the $H_2O_2$ injection concentration at constant UV intensity of 5W/l.

Anaerobic reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethylene(PCE) to ethylene was investigated by performing laboratory experiments using semi-continuous flow two-in-series soil columns. The columns were packed with soils obtained from TCE-contaminated site in Korea. Site ground water containing lactate(as electron donor and/or carbon source) and PCE was pumped into the soil columns. During the first operation with a period of 50 days, injected mass ratio of lactate and PCE was 620:1 and incomplete reductive dechlorination of PCE to cis-DCE was observed in the columns. However, complete dechlorination of PCE to ethylene was observed when the mass ratio increased to 5,050:1 in the second operation, suggesting that the electron donor might be limited during the first operation period. During the degradation of cis-DCE to ethylene, the concentration of hydrogen was $22{\sim}29mM$. These positive results indicate that the TCE-contaminated groundwater investigated in this study could be remediated through biological anaerobic reductive dechlorination processes.

Separation of VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) in Water Using Activated Carbon is known to be effective. Activated Carbon has been and will be employed in many water treatment plants. Simplified plug flow homogeneous surface diffusion model(PFHSDM) has been used to predict adsorption of organic matter. Finite Element Method(FEM) was used to analyze the model. Out of water quality control substances, benzene, toluene and tetrachloroethylene were used in the small column test. Film diffusion coefficients and surface diffusion coefficients were obtained from the column test, and were compared with the modeling results. Mc Cune, Williamson, William and Kataoka model, were compared with film diffusion coefficients obtained in the test. McCune model was fitted best for those VOCs used in this experiment. Film diffusion coefficients of VOCs obtained were benzene 0.265 cm/min, toluene 0.348 cm/min and tetrachloroethylene 0.298 cm/min. Surface diffusion coefficients of VOCs obtained were benzene $6.36{\times}10^{-8}cm^2/min$, toluene $3.20{\times}10-8cm2/min$, and tetrachloruethylene $4.94{\times}10^{-8}cm^2/min$.

실험실 규모의 반연속 흐름 2단 토양컬럼을 이용하여 사염화에틸렌(PCE)에서 에틸렌으로의 혐기성 환원 탈염소화 반응특성을 조사하였다. 국내의 TCE로 오염된 현장에서 토양을 채취하여 컬럼 반응조에 충진하고, lactate(전자공여체 그리고/혹은 탄소원으로서)와 PCE를 함유한 현장 지하수를 컬럼 반응조로 주입하였다. 운전초기 약 50일 경과기간 동안 유입 lactate와 PCE의 질량비는 620:1이었는데, 이때 PCE에서 cis-DCE로의 불완전한 환원성 탈염소화가 관찰되었다. 그러나 유입 lactate와 PCE의 질량비를 5,050:1로 증가시킨 두번째 운전기간동안 PCE에서 ethylene로의 완벽한 탈염소화를 관찰할 수 있었는데, 이는 초기 운전기간 동안의 적절한 전자공여체의 공급의 중요성을 보여 주었다. PCE에서 cis-DCE로의 탈염소화율은 $0.62{\sim}1.94\;{\mu}mol$ PCE/L pore volume/d이었고, cis-DCE에서 ethylene으로의 탈염소화율은 $2.76\;{\mu}mol$ cis-DCE/L pore volume/d으로 나타났다. 전체 시스템에서의 PCE에서 ethylene으로의 전환율은 $1.43\;{\mu}mol$ PCE/L pore volume/d이었다. 본 실험에서 PCE에서 cis-DCE로의 분해단계에서 수소의 농도는 $10{\sim}64\;mM$, 그리고 cis-DCE에서 에틸렌으로의 분해단계에서 수소의 농도는 $22{\sim}29\;mM$이었다. 본 연구에서의 이러한 긍정적인 실험 결과는 본 연구에서 조사된 TCE로 오염된 지하수의 현장 생물학적 복원을 위해 혐기성 환원 탈염소화 공정의 적용 가능성을 보여준다.
