Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are representative hydrophobic organic carbons (HOCs). Surfactant-enhanced electrokinetic (EK) remediation is an innovative in-situ technology that can effectively remove HOCs from low-permeability soils. In this study, the electrokinetic remediation using Tergitol 15-S-12, a nonionic surfactant, was conducted for the removal of phenanthrene from kaolinite. Tergitol 15-S-12 was used at concentrations of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 7.5 g/L to enhance the solubility of phenanthrene. When the surfactant solution was applied to EK system, high electrical potential gradient was maintained and the amount of electroosmotic flow decreased. Removal efficiency of phenanthrene was proportional to the concentration of Tergitol 15-S-12 because the solubility and mobility of phenanthrene was enhanced by surfactant micelle. Therefore, the suitable concentration of nonionic surfactant Tergitol 15-S-12 is expected to improve the removal efficiency of PAHs in EK remediation.

점토와 같은 세립질 또는 유기물을 다량으로 함유하거나 다져진 지층을 대상으로 지중(in-situ) 정화를 진행하는 경우, 정화효율이 떨어져 정화비용이 증가하는 등의 한계가 발생한다. 또한, 토양조건이 양호하더라도 균일하지 않은 토질특성과 낮은 투수특성으로 인해 장기간에 걸쳐 정화를 수행하여 완료되는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구는 기존 지중정화의 한계를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 공압파쇄, 진공추출, 플라즈마 블라스팅을 접목한 기술(PPV공법)의 정화효과 확인과 현장 적용성을 평가하고자 수행하였다. 상대적인 비교를 위하여 본 연구에 적용된 기술을 실험군으로 하고 기존 공법인 화학적산화공법을 대조군으로 하여 TPH로 오염된 토양에서80일에 걸쳐 각각 지중정화를 수행하였으며, 총 4차에 걸쳐 모니터링 시료를 채취하여 정화효과를 비교 평가하였다. 모니터링 결과, 대조군은 정화제 전달효과가 불량하여 오염도의 감소 경향성을 보이지 않는 반면 실험군(PPV공법) 적용에서는 정화시간이 경과함에 따라 뚜렷한 오염도 저감효과가 나타난다. 주입정으로부터 거리별 TPH 최고농도 저감율을 평가하면, 대조군은 경향성이 없으나 PPV공법은 주입정 반경 1 m 이내에서는 62.6%, 1.1~2.0 m에서 90.1%, 2.1~3.0 m에서 92.1%의 정화효과를 보인다. 주입정으로부터 거리별 TPH 평균농도 저감율을 평가하면, 대조군은 실질적인 정화효과가 없으나 PPV공법은 주입정 반경 1 m 이내에서는 53.6%, 1.1~2.0 m에서 82.4%, 2.1~3.0 m에서 68.7%의 정화효과가 확인되었다. TPH 최대 및 평균 오염농도의 변화를 토대로 실험군과 대조군의 정화효율을 평가한 결과, PPV공법은 대조군 대비 149.0~184.8%의 정화효과가 상승하는 것으로 평가할 수 있으며 평균 정화효과 상승률은 약167%이다. 시간경과에 대한 TPH 농도를 분석을 통해 상관관계식을 도출하고 이를 활용하여 최초 농도 대비 80% 저감기간을 평가한 결과 PPV공법을 적용하는 경우 화학적산화공법 적용시보다 184.4%의 정화시간 단축이 가능할 것으로 평가되었다. 다만, 단일 부지에 대한 평가 결과이기 때문에 모든 지층에 동일하게 적용될 수 없으므로 향후 이에 대한 추가적인 연구를 수행하여 그 효과를 보다 면밀히 검토할 필요가 있다.

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%.

This research was carried out to evaluate the effects of humic acid on contaminated kaoline with cadmium when electrokinetic remediation. Electrokinetic remediation test was performed depending on humic acid concentrations(0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.083, 0.1, 0.5, 5.0mg/g) in contaminated kaoline with cadmium and time(4, 8, 12days). In the absence of humic acid, Cd at the anode showed the highest concentration while Cd concentrations were lower as the concentration of humic acid increased. The removal of Cd to the anode reservoir was increased with increasing humic acid concentration by electroosmosis or ion migration.

In this study, the electrokinetic remediation test for the kaolin contaminated by lead was performed and voltage, zeta potential, pH distribution, current, contamination transport in soil sample were studied and finite differential numerical analysis program(HERP) for a contaminated soil were compared with those of test. From the result of HERP, in the anode it was represented that the rest concentration was decreased with the voltage. Hence, if treatment time was continued for a long in the constant voltage, comparing with sample having no change in the rest concentration, it is considered that the voltage gradient is the control factor of the rest concentration.

The electrokinetic apparatus for remediation of the soil contaminated with Cs$^{+}$was designed. After kaolin clay was compulsorily contaminated by Cs$^{+}$ solution, the remediation characteristics by electrokinetic method were analyzed. After remediation experiment, the pH of the cathode side of the soil column was increased to 12.7 due to the generation of OH in cathode reservoir, but no hydroxide cesium form in the cathode side. Effluent rate from the cathode almost was constant and cesium concentration of effluent decreased with time passage. The 49% of a total of Cs$^{+}$ in the column was decontaminated for 0.4 day, the 72% of a total of Cs$^{+}$ in the column was decontaminated for 0.8 day, the 83% of a total of Cs$^{+}$ in the column was decontaminated for 1.2 days, the 89% of a total of Cs$^{+}$ in the column was decontaminated for 1.6 days, and the 93% of a total of Cs$^{+}$ in the column was decontaminated for 2.1 day Meanwhile, the predicted values of residual concentration by the developed model were quite similar to those obtained from experiments.m experiments.

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.

Considering six screen matrix to select an optimum remediation method for the Kunsan military base contaminated with petroleum oil, the following order was obtained: landfarming > biopile > soil washing > thermal desorption = incineration. When the landfarming method was applied for the remediation of 2,250 $m^3$ soil contaminated with petroleum oil ranging from 500 to 2,404 mg/kg as TPH, contamination level decreased below target concentration 450 mg/kg after 20~42 days depending on the initial contamination. From the evaluation of case studies of landfarming, it is suggested that ratty-truss or single-arch structure is suitable in the landfarming plant for the treatment of large-scale contaminated soil requiring long period of remediation. But, vinyl-house structure is suitable in the landfarming plant for the treatment of small-scale contaminated soil requiring short period of remediation. Therefore vinyl-house structure is recommended in the remediation of contaminated soil less than 5,000 $m^3$ requiring within 1 year of remediation period but ratty-truss or single-arch structure is recommended for the remediation of contaminated soil more than 5,000 $m^3$.

방사성 토양을 복원하기 위해 원자력시설 주변 부지의 수리지질 특성을 분석하여 국내 방사성 토양 복원에 적합한 수직형 동전기세정장치를 개발하였다. 또한, 이 수직형 동전기세정장치를 이용한 실험을 통해 원자력시설 주변 방사성토양을 복원하기 위한 최적 세정제를 선정하고 단기간에 높은 제거효율을 확보할 수 있는 최적제염조건들을 도출하였다. 초산을 세정제로 사용하였을 때 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘의 제거효율이 가장 높으므로 동전기제염을 위한 최적 세정제로 초산을 선정하였다 동전기세정제염 시 세정제 주입량을 증가 시켰을 때 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘의 제거효율은 평균 약 4.6% 제거효율이 증가했고 토양폐액 발생량도 동전기제염의 1.5배 인 2.4mL/g이었다. 동전기토양셀의 전압구배를 2배로 증가시켜 4 V/cm를 적용시켰을 때, 코발트와 세슘의 제거효율은 각각 98.9%와 96.7%로 평균 약 4.3% 제거효율이 증가했다. 그리고 세정제 농도를 0.01M로부터 0.05M로 증가시킨 후 제염실험 결과 코발트의 제거효율은 상승했지만 세슘의 제거효율은 감소하였다. 위 실험결과 개발한 수직형 동전기세정장치의 최적제염조건으로 제염시간은 20일 동안 초산 $0.01M{\sim}0.05M$을 세정제로 사용하여 동전기토양셀의 전압구배는 4 V/cm를 가하고, 2.4mL/g의 세정제를 주입하는 것이다.
