Abstract

Subsurface contamination of industrial hazardous organic substances is a serious social issue. Decomposing the hydrophobic organic compounds in the subsurface is technically difficult and the compounds can last as long-term contaminant sources of groundwater once they are sorbed on the soil. Although the danger of contaminated subsurface has long been recognized little was known about the effective remediation technique. Focusing on the remediation of the p-Cresol and 3, 5-Dichlorobiphenyl among subsurface contaminants, this paper studies the surfactant-enhanced desorption technique. Nonionic surfactant(Triton X-100) and anionic surfactant(SDS ) were used as desorbing solvents for extracting organic compound sorbed on soil particles. Sorption characteristics of soils and organic compounds were analyzed and the applications of surfactant solution were studied through batch tests and the flexible-wall permeameter tests. As a result of the sorption isotherm tests, a log-log linear relation was obtained between the linear-partition coefficient, $K_p$ and the octanol-water partition coefficient, $K_{ow}$ of each organic compound. The result of the batch test also showed that Triton X-100 at 0.5% of solution desorbs the 3, 5-Dichlorobiphenyl 28 times more than the water in the batch tests. The surfactant-enhanced subsurface remediation technique becomes more effective when the contaminants are hydrophobic and hard to be decomposed.

유해 유기 오염물에 의한 지반 오염이 심각한 사회문제로 부각되고 있다. 지반 내로 유입된 소수성 유기 화합물은 대부분 난분해성이며, 일단 흙에 흡착되면 제거하기 어려워 오랜 기간에 걸쳐 지하수 오염원으로 작용하게 된다. 이러한 지반 오염의 심각성은 이미 인식되어 왔지만 이를 위한 적절한 정화 방법은 아직 제시되고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 유해 유기물 중 p-Cresol과 3,5-Dichlorobiphenyl에 대하여 계면활성제 용액을 이용한 정화 방법의 적용성을 실험을 통해 연구하였다. 중성 계면활성제, Triton X-100과 음이온성 계면활성제, SDS가 탈착용액으로 사용되었다. 먼저 흙과 유기화합물과의 흡착 특성을 파악하고, 계면활성제 용액을 이용한 회분식 탈착 실험과 연성벽체 투수기를 이용한 주상 실험을 실시하였다. 등온흡착실험에서 각 물질의 선형분배계수, $K_p와\; 옥탄올-물\; 분배계수,\; K_{ow}$는 대수 선형 관계식으로 나타났다. 3,5-Dichlorobiphenyl의 경우 회분식 실험에서 0.5 % 농도의 Triton X-100용액으로의 탈착량이 물에 의한 탈착량에 비하여 28배의 향상을 나타내었다. 지반 오염물질이 소수성이며, 난분해성이 클수록 계면활성제 용액을 이용한 지반정화 효율이 높은 것으로 나타났다.
