토양내 탄화수소계 화합물의 농도측정 기법에 대한 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)적용 가능성 연구
초록
Leakage of hydrocarbon compound from underground storage tank has been a significant issue to the hazard of environmental contaminants. It is therefore necessary to develop the measurement technique of hydrocarbon compound concentration. In this study, the possibility of TDR application to measure concentration of hydrocarbon compound, especially diesel, in a sandy soil was investigated. Experiments were conducted in two different conditions. The first one was to measure the resistances of the soil columns packed according to the various ratios of tab water and diesel content in the total voids. The other was to measure the resistance of the soil under the flow condition where diesel oil was allowed to infiltrate into the KCl-saturated soil column. The experimental results showed that there exists a significant relationship between oil% and TDR-measured resistance. This suggests that TDR can be an effective device to measure the concentration of hydrocarbon compound in a soil.
