In-situ Air Sparging (IAS, AS) is a groundwater remediation technique, in which organic contaminants are volatilized into air as it rises from saturated to vadose soil zone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of environmental conditions on the degradation of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and $CO_2$ in the unsaturated zone and TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons) in saturated zone of sandy loam. In the laboratory, diesel (10,000 mg TPH/kg)-contaminated saturated soil. After heating the soil for 36 days, the equilibrium temperature of soil reached to $34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$ and TPH concentration was reduced to 78.9% of the initial value, Volatilization loss of VOCs in TPH was about 2%, The reduction gradient of $CO_2$ concentration was 0.018/day in air space and 0.0007/day in unsaturated zone.

개발사업과 산업발달로 인하여 발생되는 유해화학물질과 유류사용량이 늘면서 화학물질과 유류를 저장하는 지하저장탱크에서의 오염물질 유출로 토양 및 지하수 오염이 심각해지고 있다. 또한, 산업지역, 공장지대가 밀집된 매립 지반에서는 투수계수가 낮아 오염물질 추출에 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제해결 방안의 하나로 연약지반 개량공법에서 사용되고 있는 연직배수재를 이용하여 기존의 복원기술인 토양세정공법의 효율을 증진시킨 연직배수시스템에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 오염된 지반의 복원을 목적으로 사용한 연직배수시스템의 적용성 평가를 위하여 오염토양 복원시 오염지반에 영향을 주는 인자에 대한 유효성 등을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 연직배수시스템의 적용성을 위하여 오염토양 복원시 오염지반에 영향을 주는 인자에 대한 공학적 특성을 바탕으로 파일럿 규모의 실내 오염복원 실험을 통한 오염물질의 복원효율 등을 분석하였다. 또한, 염화나트륨을 복원실험의 추적자로 사용하였고, 도출된 결과를 바탕으로 SEEP/W와 CTRAN/W 유한요소해석 프로그램을 이용하여 압력수두와 지속시간에 따른 농도변화, 각각의 지반조건에 대한 복원률의 오염물질 흐름 해석을 통한 유효성을 평가하였다. 결과, 오염지반의 투수계수는 흐름속도와 연직배수재를 통한 추출률과 관계되며, 흐름속도와 추출률은 분산지수에 영향을 미치게 되어 결국 원위치 오염복원 과정시 중요한 역할을 하게 된다.

본 연구는 전통적인 지하 대수층 폭기기술을 시행하는 데 있어서 대수층의 특정층에 미리 수용액상 계면활성제를 수평방향으로 도입함으로써 오염물질이 실제로 존재하는 특정 지층으로 선택적으로 폭기되도록 하여 최소한의 공기량으로 오염물질 제거 효율을 극대화 하는 기술을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 균일질 모래로 충진된 2차원 상자 모델을 대수층 모사를 위하여 사용하였으며, 저농도(100 mg/L)의 음이온계 계면활성제(sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) 수용액을 대수층의 표면장력을 조절하는 데 사용되었다. 실험은 첫째, 계면활성제가 처방되지 않은 경우, 둘째, 공기도입부 근처에 계면활성제 용액이 도입된 경우, 그리고 셋째, 공기도입부와 토양표면의 중간부분에 계면활성제 용액이 도입된 경우의 세 부분으로 구성되어 실시되었다. 실험 결과, 계면활성제가 도입된 경우 계면활성제가 투입되지 않은 경우에 비하여 최고 5배에 해당하는 현저한 폭기영향권의 확대가 관찰되었다. 또한 계면활성제가 도입되지 않았을 때에는 폭기영향권의 범위가 도입유량에 거의 영향을 받지 않았으나 계면활성제가 도입된 경우 폭기영향권은 도입유량에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 특기할만한 것은 폭기영향권이 계면활성제가 도입된 수평층을 중심으로 형성되어 이 부분에 집중되어 존재하는 오염물질의 제거에 매우 유리할 수 있다는 점이다. 현재 까지 대수층 폭기기술이 도입공기의 수평확산을 유도하는 기술이 개발되어 있지 않으므로 본 연구는 기존의 대수층 폭기 복원기술의 효율을 획기적으로 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the combined electrokinetic and ultrasonic remediation technique onto simple soil flushing was studied for the enhancement of water and liquid flows and the removal of contaminants in contaminated soils. The ultrasonic technique has been used to increase liquid flow and remove pollutants in contaminated soil. The laboratory soil flushing tests combined electrokinetic and ultrasonic technique were conducted using specially designed and fabricated devices to determine the effect of these both techniques. A series of laboratory permeability experiments involving the simple, electrokinetic, ultrasonic, and electrokinetic & ultrasonic flushing test were carried out. A soil admixed with sand and kaolin was used as a test specimen, and Pb and ethylene glycol were used as contaminants. An increase in out flow, permeability and contaminant removal rate was observed in electrokinetic and ultrasonic flushing tests.

The combination of biological and physical/chemical technologies is a promising technique to reduce highly concentrated pollutants in livestock wastewater. It is suggested to treat livestock wastewater efficiently as follows: firstly, biodegradable organic matters, nitrogen and some of phosphorus should be removed by a biological treatment process and then residual non-biodegradable organic matters, color and phosphorus be eliminated by physicochemical technologies. In this study, therefore, the integrations of chemical coagulation, activated carbon adsorption, Fenton oxidation and ozonation were evaluated to provide appropriate post-treatment processes for biologically pre-treated livestock wastewater. After chemical coagulation followed by ozonation or Fenton oxidation process, the quality of treated wastewater could meet the discharge limit in Korea. However, a yellowish brown color still remained in the treated wastewater after a single method such as coagulation and Fenton oxidation was applied. The ozonation was found to be the most effective technology for the decolorization. Neither simple biological nor physicochemical treatment provides adequate decolorization and sufficient depletion of organics in livestock wastewater so far. Consequently, the integration of Fenton oxidation and ozonation with a biological treatment process is recommended to treat livestock wastewater in terms of removal efficiency.

저분자량 유기산을 이용한 in-situ flushing 토양세척기법의 실제 현장 적용성 검토를 위해 실험실에서 회분식 실험을 통하여 적당한 세척제를 선정하고 이에 따른 여러 가지 운전변수를 찾아보았다. 대상 중금속으로는 Cu를 택했고, 세척제로는 실제 토양환경에 영향이 비교적 적은 저분자량 유기산인 acetic, citric, oxalic, succinic acid를 이용했다. 유기산을 이용하여 처리한 결과 실험에 사용된 유기산들 모두 1 mM의 저농도에서는 효과를 나타내지 못했고 50 mM 이상의 고농도에서 보다 좋은 제거율을 보였는데, 50 mM과 100mM의 경우 제거율이 큰 차이를 보이지 못했다. citric arid와 oxalic acid의 경우 중성 및 약산성 상태에서 최대의 제거율이 나타났고 특히 citric arid의 경우 87.1%의 높은 제거율을 보였다. 유기산이 없을때는 강산성 상태에서 Cu의 최고제거율이 70% 정도였다. 그러나 각 경우에서의 speciation을 살펴보면 유기산이 없을 경우에는 추출된 Cu의 대부분이 유해한 free ion상태로 존재하게 되고 유기산이 있을 경우에는 추출된 Cu의 대부분이 유기산과 complex를 이룬다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In-situ Air Sparging (IAS, AS) is a remediation technique in which organic contaminants are volatilized from saturated zone to unsaturated layer. This study focuses on the removal and interaction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and $CO_2$, and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) in saturated and unsaturated, and air space zone on the unsaturated soil surface. Soil sparging temperature of hot air has risen to $34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$ from $23.0{\pm}1.9^{\circ}C$ for 36 days. At the diffusing point, fluid TPH concentrations were reduced to 78.7% of the initial concentration in saturated zone when hot air was sparged. The TPH concentrations were decreased to 66.1% for room temperature air sparging. The amount of VOCs for hot air sparging system, in air space, was approximately 26% larger than constant air sparging system. The amount of $CO_2$ was 4,555 mg (in unsaturated zone) and 4,419 mg (in air space) when hot air was sparged was 3,015 mg (in unsaturated zone) and 3,634 mg (in air space) for room air temperature in the $CO_2$ amount. The removals of VOCs and biodegradable $CO_2$ through the hot air sparging system (modified SVE) were more effective than the room temperature air sparging. The regression equation were $Y=976.4e^{-0.015{\cdot}X}$, $R^2=0.98$ (hot air sparging) and $Y=1055e^{-0.028{\cdot}X}$, $R^2=0.90$ (room temperaure air sparging). Estimated remediation time was approximately 500 days, if final saturated soil TPH concentration was set to 1.2 mg/L application of tail effect.

In recent years, immobilization agents were introduced into organic contaminated soil remediation and more and more materials were screened and used as the immobilizing carrier. However, effect of the decomposition of the immobilizing carrier on the bioremediation was rarely concerned. Therefore, the decomposition experiment of immobilizing carrier -corncob was carried out in the lab with the efficient degradation fungi - Mucor mucedo (MU) existing, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) residues E4/E6 of the dissolved organic matter and microbial diversity during the decomposition process were studied. The results showed that: a) during the decomposition, the degradation of pyrene (Pyr) was mainly in the first 28 d in which the content of extractable Pyr decreased rapidly and the highest decrease was in the treatment with only MU added. b) Anslysis of E4/E6 changes showed that rich microorganisms could promote aromatization and condensation of humus. c) From the diversity index analysis it can also be seen that there is no significant difference in effects of PAHs on the uniformity of microorganisms. These results will not only be useful to have a better understanding of the bioavailability of contaminants adsorbed to biodegradable carriers in PAHs contaminated soil remediation, but also be helpful to perfect the principle of immobilized microbial technique.

The objectives of this study are to investigate soil contamination in the vicinity of abandoned Au-Ag mine and to apply a remediation technique of liming to tailings. In the study area of the Imcheon Au-Ag mine, soils were sampled in and around the mine the analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry extracted by both 0.1N HCl and aqua regia. Elevated levels of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations extracted by 0.1N HCl were found in soils taken from tailings site. These high contents directly influenced metal concentrations in soils taken in the vicinity of the site. This is mainly due to clastic movement by wind and effluent of mine waste water. In addition, relatively enriched concentrations of the metals were found in soils extrated by aqua regia due to strong decomposition of the samples compared with 0.1N HCl extration. According to the statistical approach, metal concentrations in soils by 0.1N HCl had a positive correlation with those by aqua regia extraction. Mine waste waters and stream waters were also sampled around the mine in spring and summer and analyzed by AAS for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn, and by Ion Chromatography for anions. Like soils developed over tailings, significant levels of metals and sulphates were found in the mine waste waters ranging of 0.2~0.3, 0.5~2.0, 0.2~2.8, 30~50 and 1,240~4,700 mg/l of Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and $SO_4^{2-}$, respectively. These elevated levels influenced in the stream waters in the vicinity of the tailings site. In seasonal variation of metal and anion contents, relatively high levels were found in waters sampled on summer due to leaching the metals and anions from tailings by rain. This study also examined the possibility of lime treatment for remediation of acid mine tailings and assumed to be 46 tones of pulverized lime for neutralization of the tailings.

Washing technique using solubilization and surfactant as a extractant was studied by removing contaminants from the cohesive soil contaminated with heavy metal. For this purpose, the laboratory desorption batch tests were peformed in the kaolinite contaminated with lead by using acetic acid as a solubilization and SDS as a anionic surfactant. In desorption batch tests, the effects of extractant concentration and mixing ratio were investigated and also the coupling effects of acetic acid added with surfactant were considered. Test results show that the removal efficiency of acetic acid as a extractant in the kaolinite contaminated with lead increased with increasing the concentration of acetic acid and the acetic acid was found to be more effective when adding CMC 2 or 3 of surfactant. Additionally, regardless of the initial concentration, the efficiency of lead removal from the contaminated soil increased with increasing shaking ratio.
