Remediation of crude oil contaminated soil is complicate and hard to apply traditional methods because of its persistency, durability, and high viscosity. Therefore, in this study, the efficiency of crude oil contaminated soil remediation was tested by developing a pilot-scale thermal desorption system using the indirect heating method with an exhaust gas treatment. Under optimal condition drawed by temperature and retention time, the remedial efficiency of crude oil contaminated soil and treatability of exhaust gas were analyzed. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration of crude oil contaminated soil was decreased to 69.7 mg/kg on average and the remedial efficiency was measured at 99.60%. Through the exhaust gas, 86.0% of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) was degraded and 97.16% of complex malodor was reduced under the suggested optimum operation condition. This study provides important basic data to be useful in scaling up of the indirect thermal desorption system for the remediation of crude oil contaminated soil.

Bioremediation is one of the most effective ways to remediate TPH-contaminated sites. However, under actual field conditions that are not at the optimum temperature, degradation of microorganisms is generally reduced, which is why the efficiency of biodegradation is known to be significantly affected by the soil temperature. Therefore, in this study, the labscale experiment was conducted using indigenous crude oil degrading microorganisms isolated from crude oil contaminated site to evaluate the remediation efficiency. Crude oil degrading microorganisms were isolated from crude oil contaminated soil and temperature, which is a significant factor affecting the remediation efficiency of land farming, was adjusted to evaluate the microbial crude oil degrading ability, degradation time, and remediation efficiency. In order to assess the field applicability, the remediation efficiency was evaluated using crude oil contaminated soil (average TPH concentration of 10,000 mg/kg or more) from the OO premises. Followed by the application of microorganisms at 30℃, the bioremediation process reduced its initial TPH concentration of 10,812 mg/kg down to 1,890 mg/kg in 56 days, which was about an 83% remediation efficiency. By analyzing the correlation among the total number of cells, the number of effective cells, and TPH concentration, it was found that the number of effective microorganisms drastically increased during the period from 10 to 20 days while there was a sharp decrease in TPH concentration. Therefore, we confirmed the applicability of land farming with isolated microorganisms consortium to crude oil contaminated site, which is also expected to be applicable to bioremediation of other recalcitrant materials.

본 연구에서는 오염된 자갈을 정화하기 위해서 새로운 방식의 건식세척장치를 제작하여 석유계총탄화수소(TPH) 및 산화철의 저감 성능을 알아보았다. 기존 연구에서는 회분식 처리 방식이 적용되었으나, 본 연구에서는 정화 성능 및 처리 효율 향상을 위하여 연속식 처리 방식을 적용하였다. 또한 오염자갈의 전처리를 위하여 건조기 및 선별기를 적용하였다. 본 실험에서는 총 12개의 노즐을 통해 약 $5-6kg/cm^2$의 압력으로 20-30분 동안 연마재를 자갈에 분사하여 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)와 산화철의 저감 성능을 확인하였다. 실험결과 석유계총탄화수소(TPH)와 산화철 모두 약 80-90%의 높은 처리효율을 나타냈다. 본 연구에서는 향후 추가 연구를 통해 정화효율을 높일 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

국내 폐금속광산 일대에서 비소 및 중금속의 발암 및 비발암 위해성을 근거로 복원 기준치를 설정하였다. 폐금속광산일대의 주요한 노출 경로는 부지내 폐광석과 광미로부터 직접적인 오염물 흡입과 지하수를 통한 부지내 및 외 섭취의 경로로 구분된다. 지하수의 오염원은 폐광석과 광미 침출로부터의 오염과 갱구 유출로부터의 오염 및 지질매체 자체에 의한 오염이 설정되었다. 높은 오염 수준에 대해서 높은 오염성분감소비와 폐광산일대의 다양한 배경농도로부터 복원기준치를 설정 했을때, 토양 및 지하수의 복원기준치는 비소 위해도의 영향이 매우 큰 것으로 평가되었다. 비소의 높은 독성은 복원 기준치를 매우 낮게 형성했고, 위해도가 낮은 아연과 카드늄은 높게 설정되었다. 궁극적으로 오염성분 감소비에 따른 복원기준치 설정은 오염성분의 노출 경로 차단이 복원 목표치를 현실화시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 토양 이송 장치, 로터리킬른, RTO, 사이클론 및 백필터 등으로 구성되어 있고 이동이 가능한 저온열탈착 장치를 제작하여 현장유류오염토양의 처리시험을 수행하였다. 제작된 열탈착장치는 LPG를 연료로 사용하고 배출되는 가스를 RTO를 통하여 재순환하는 방식을 적용하여 경제적인 운전이 가능하도록 하였다. 장치의 현장시험을 위하여 경유와 $C_30$ 이상의 heavy oil로 혼합 오염된 현장토양(2,690 mg TPH/kg soil) 을 먼저 선별기를 통해 50 mm 이하의 입경을 가진 토양으로 채 분리한 후, LTTD 장치의 로터리킬른에 체류시간 15분 조건에서 시간당 7$m^3$의 양으로 투입하였다. 열탈착장치의 온도를 각각 평균 $567^{\circ}C$와$692^{\circ}C$로 조정한 후 오염토양의 정화 운전을 수행한 결과, 배출되는 정화토양의 TPH 농도는 각각 46 mg/kg과 32 mg/kg로서 각각 평균 98.3과 98.9%의 높은 정화 효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

A bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soil in Korea was evaluated for the optimization of enhanced biodegradation and the minimization of effects of seasonal variations, The short-term bioremediation in combination of biopile pretreatment and landfarming was performed by lowering contaminated levels and overcoming the inhibiting factors in the rainy and winter seasons. A microbial density was maintained with indigenous microbial addition for bioaugmentation and with fertilizers for biostimulation. A lesser volatile and biodegradable fraction due to their abiotic removals following the biopile pretreatment was effectively removed by the laterally applied landfarming. The optimal temperature in greenhouse was maintained by buffering of the soil temperature even with slight decreases in removal rates during the winter and extensive leaching of nutrients and contaminants was restricted with adjusting the water contents during the Korean rainy season. Although the tilling process was effective for biodegradation with aeration only, the simultaneous treatment due to apparent mixing of nutrients and microbes more favorably degraded the petroleum than the sequential treatment.

This study was conducted to evaluate air injection mode on stabilization of solid waste in lysimeter. For three lysimeters, one was maintained under anaerobic condition as control, and air was injected into two lysimeters in continuous mode (atmospheric pressure) and intermittent mode (high pressure of 2 bar). Distilled water was sprayed over solid waste in 1.4 l/$m^3$(solid waste)/day, supposing rainfall intensity of 1,200 mm/yr and 30% infiltration. Oxygen in landfill gas was not detected in control lysimeter during operational days. After 30 day-aeration, oxygen concentrations of continuous and intermittent modes were maintained in 14% and 6%, respectively. $COD_{Cr}$ removal efficiencies of continuous and intermittent modes were about 70% and 50%, and BOD5 removal efficiencies were about 80% and 20%, respectively. In view of oxygen supply, and $COD_{Cr}$ and $BOD_5$ removal, continuous air injection mode of atmospheric pressure was more effective than intermittent mode of 2 bar. Settling degree of solid waste in case of two air injection modes was 3 times higher than that of anaerobic condition as control. Considering the above results, it was thought that air injection (especially continuous atmospheric pressure) could improve degradation of solid waste and induce preliminary stabilization in landfill site.

본 연구는 유류화합물로 오염된 토양의 생물학적 정화효율을 향상시키기 위한 연구로서, 정화목표인 TPH 500 mg/kg을 달성하기 위하여 유기성 영양분과 화학적 산화를 추가적으로 연계 적용하여 생물학적 정화효율의 성능향상 시험을 수행하였다. 경유로 오염된 토양을 대상으로 시험한 결과, 생물학적으로 정화하는 과정에서 무기성 성분(N, P)을 영양분으로 사용하여 정화한 경우에서 보다(정화효율 80.2%) 유기성 영향분인 퇴비와 액분을 사용한 경우가 각각 84.4%, 92.2%로 높은 정화효율을 보여주었다. 난분해성 물질을 함유한 토양의 생물학적 정화과정에서 tailing 현상이 일어나는 기간에 화학적 산화와 생물학적 정화를 병행하였을 때 TPH 농도를 134 mg/kg로 떨어뜨려 정화효율 98.1%를 얻은 반면에 생물학적 정화만 진행한 경우 TPH 1,073 mg/kg로 정화효율 84.7%를 나타내 화학적 산화의 병행처리가 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

A new type of chemical oxidation technology utilizing micro bubble ozone oxidizer and a pneumatic fracturing equipment was developed to enhance field applicability of a traditional chemical oxidation technology using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizer for in-situ soil remediation. To find an efficient way to dissolve gaseous ozone into hydrogen peroxide, ozone was injected into water as micro bubble form then dissolved ozone concentration and its duration time were measured compared to those of simple aeration of gaseous ozone. As a result, dissolved ozone concentration in water increased by 31% (1.6 ppm ${\rightarrow}$ 2.1 ppm) and elapsed time for which maximum ozone concentration decreased by half lengthened from 9 min to 33 min. When the developed pneumatic fracturing technology was applied in sandy loam, cracks were developed and grown in soil for 5~30 seconds so that the radius of influence got longer by 71% from 392 cm to 671 cm. The remediation system using the micro bubble ozone oxidizer and the pneumatic fracturing equipment for field application was made and demonstrated its remediation efficiency at petroleum contaminated site. The system showed enhanced remediation capacity than the traditional chemical oxidation technology using hydrogen peroxide with reduced remediation time by about 33%.
