The study was carried out to evaluate the characteristics of biodegradation by Pseudomonas putida G7 in soil column. The reactor system was used to investigate mass transfer of VOCs as Toluene in a column of unsaturated soil. Determination of the fate of VOCs in unsaturated soil is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of natural attenuation as a VOCs remediation strategy. The objective of this study was to develop a mechanistically based mathematical model that would consider the interdependence of VOC transport, microbial activity, and sorptive interactions in a moist, unsaturated soil. Because the focus of the model was on description of natural attenuation, the advective VOCs transport that is induced in engineered remediation processes such as vapor extraction was not considered. It can be concluded that the coefficient for gas liquid mass-transfer was found to be a key parameter controlling the ability of bacteria to VOCs. Finally, it appeared that bioremediation technology of VOCs which are difficult to be decomposed by chemical methods.

본 연구에서는 얕은 불포화 및 포화 대수층을 모사한 실험실 규모의 SAT 토양 칼럼을 약 5개월간 운전하면서 얕은 대수층 조건에서 하수처리장 방류수의 처리수질 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 유기물 (DOC)의 평균 제거율은 불포화 (unsaturated SAT) 칼럼의 경우 31.9%굶 높게 나타난 반면, 포화(saturated SAT) 칼럼에서는 DOC가 거의 제거되지 않았다. 얕은 대수층 조건을 모사한 불포화 토양 칼럼에서의 질산화는 충분하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며 잔류 암모니아가 포화대수층으로 유입되었다. 또한 얕은 불포화 칼럼에서의 짧은 체류시간(1 day)으로 인해 포화 칼럼 유입수의 DO가 약 2 mg/L를 유지했다. 인 (phosphate)은 불포화 칼럼에서는 제거되지 않고 그대로 유출되는 특성을 보였고, 포화 칼럼에서는 100% 제거되는 특성을 보였다. 결론적으로, 암모니아성 질소가 포화층으로 유입되고, 포화층 유 입수의 DO가 상대적으로 높다는 점을 제외하면 얕은 대수층 조건에서도 유기물 및 질소, 인의 제거가 충분하게 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

The mathematical model was proposed to simulate ozone transport and remediation in unsaturated soils contaminated with phenanthrene. Soil column experiments were also carried out to calibrate the mathematical model. The experimental results successfully matched with the modeling results in various soil conditions. The model proposed nondimensional fraction factor to reveal reactivity between phenanthrene and gas phase ozone and liquid phase ozone. From sensitivity analysis, the fraction factor and stoichiometric coefficient decreased as water content increased. Simulation results showed increased SOM content retarded the ozone transport and the phenanthrene removal due to increased ozone consumption.

This study was conducted to characterize on the relationships of rainfall intensity and infiltration rate of rainfall dependent on unit weight change in the gneissic weathered soil by a column test equipment. In this study, volumetric water content and pore water pressure were measured using TDR sensors and tensiometers at regular time intervals. Rainfall conditions including continuous rainfall and repeated rainfall were selected in order to know the effect of antecedent rainfall. In the condition of rainfall intensity 20mm/h and the unit weights of soil as $1.35g/cm^3$, $1.55g/cm^3$ and $1.61g/cm^3$, average rainfall infiltration rate was $2.814{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$, $1.969{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$ and $1.252{\times}10^{-3}cm/sec$ respectively. The higher rainfall intensity and lower unit weight of soil, the faster average infiltration rate. Overflow in the column was happened except rainfall condition of rainfall intensity 20mm and soil unit weight $1.35g/cm^3$. Increasing the soil unit weight, overflowed water was increased and occurrence time was faster.

Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) is a technique in which secondary- or tertiary-treated wastewater is infiltrated through unsaturated soil and stored in the saturated zone. In SAT, contaminants are removed by physical and biochemical reactions taking place in soils. In this study, a numerical model was developed to predict changes in water quality during SAT operations. The contaminant species considered in the model were ammonium, nitrate, dissolved organic carbon, and dissolved oxygen. The model was calibrated against experimental data obtained from one dimensional soil column tests conducted for 84 days. The calibrated model will be used to find out optimum conditions for the pilot- and regional-scale SAT operations to be scheduled for the next phase of this project.

Diffusive transport of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and their degradation by bacteria in unsaturated soils are couple by poorly understood mass transfer kinetics at the gas/water interface. Determination of the fate of VOCs in unsaturated soil is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of natural attenuation as a VOC remediation strategy. The objective of this study was to develop a mechanistically based mathematical model that would consider the interdependence of VOC transport, microbial activity, and sorptive interaction in a moist, unsaturated soil. Because the focus of the model was on description of natural attenuation, the advective VOC transport that is induced in engineered remediation processes such as vapor extraction was not considered. The utility of the model was assessed through its ability to describe experimental observations form diffusion experiments using toluene as a representative VOC in well-defined soil columns that contained a toluene degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas Putida, as the sole active microbial species. The coefficient for gas-liquid mass-transfer, K$\sub$LA/, was found to be a key parameter controlling the ability of bacteria to degrade VOCs. This finding indicates that soil size and geometry are likely to be important parameters in assessing the possible success of natural attenuation of VOCs in contaminated unsaturated soils.

It is well known that the water infiltration rate depends on soil properties such as soil water content, water head, capillary suction, density, hydraulic conductivity, and porosity. However, most of proposed infiltration models assume that the air phase is continuous and in equilibrium with the atmosphere or air compression and air entrapment on infiltration was not considered. This study presents experimental results on unsaturated water infiltration to relate air entrapment and hydraulic conductivity function based on soil air properties. The objectives of this study were to measure change of soil air pressure ahead of wetting front under air drain and air confined condition to find the confined air effect on infiltration rate, to reduce the entrapped air volume related with soil air pressure to increase the soil permeability, and to make a basis of infiltration process model for the purpose of improvement of infiltration rate in the homogeneous soil column. The results of the work show that soil air pressure increases according to increasement of the saturated soil depth rather than the wetting front depth during infiltration process.

본 연구에서는 중금속으로 오염된 불포화토에 대한 동전기 정화 기법 적용시 발생되는 동전기 현상과 정화 특성을 실험적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 사격장에서 채취한 시료에 대하여 포화도에 따른 일련의 동전기 정화 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 불포화토에서의 납은 주로 확산이중층 내부에서의 직접적인 전기이온이동에 의해 제거되었고, 만약 1V/cm의 전압경사에서 초기 오염농도가 양이온교환능 이하이고 단위토립자당 흡착량이 동일하다면 포화도 증가에 따른 납의 이동효율의 감소로 인하여 제거율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 인공 식재 지반의 공학적 배수 성능과 생물학적 식생 가능성을 평가하기 위해 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 불포화토 해석을 통해 인공 식재 지반의 공학적 성능 평가가 가능하다. 하지만 식생 조경의 관점에서 조경 식물이 생존하기 위해서는 인공 식재 지반이 최소한의 수분을 제공하는지 확인해야 한다. 화강 풍화토로 이루어진 인공 식재 지반을 1m 높이의 사각형 토체 기둥으로 모사하여 해석하였다. 해석 결과 토체의 배수 성능이 포화 투수계수와 불포화토 함수특성의 조합에 따라 크게 달라질 수 있음을 보였다. 체적 함수비의 변화가 최소 한계 수분 범위(LLWR) 이내에서 발생하는지 확인하여 식물이 갈수기 동안 생존할 수 있는 최소한의 수분을 인공 식재 지반이 제공할 수 있음을 파악할 수 있다.

The interest in the dynamic properties of soils has increased strongly because of earthquake, heavy traffic, and foundations undergo high amplitude of vibrations. Most of soils in Korean peninsula are composed of granite soils, especially the decomposed mudstone soils are widely spread in Pohang areas, Kyong-buk province. Therefore, it Is very important to investigate the dynamic properties of these types of soils. The most important soil parameters under dynamic loadings are shear modulus and material dampings. Furthermore, few definitive data exist that can evaluate the behavior of unsaturated decomposed mudstone soils under dynamic loading conditions. The investigations described in this paper is designed to identify the shear modulus and damping ratio due to a surface tension for the unsaturated decomposed mudstone soils ulder low and high strain amplitude, For this purpose, the resonant column test and the cyclic triaxial test were performed. Test results and data have shown that the optimum degree of saturation under low and strain amplitude is 32 ∼ 37% which is higher than that of decomposed granite due to the amount of fine particles as well as the type and proportion of chief rock-forming minerals.
