Abstract

Sutfactants may be used in remediation of subsoil and aquifer contaminated with hydrophobic compounds. The objectives of this study were to select potentially suitable sUlfactants that solubilize toluene present as a contaminant and to determine the effectiveness of toluene removal from Ottawa sand by the selected surfactants. Material used as the model soil was Ottawa sand and the organic used as model contaminant was toluene. Used experimental methods were separatory funnel experiment and shaker table agitation/centrifugation experiments. Based on the experimental results, the following conclusions were drawn; t) In the surfactant selection, six different surfactants were chosen based on surfactant types, toxicity, and water solubility. These six were focused into two on the basis of HLB and surface tension study, separatory funnel experiment, shaker table and centrifugation experiments. The two most suitable surfactants were Sandopan JA36 (an anionic surfactant), and Pluronic L44 (a non-ionic surfactant). 2) In the shaker table agitation and centrifugation experiments, the highest recovery of the toluene was 96% which was obtained with one surfactant wash plus two water rinses using an anionic surfactant (Sandopan JA36).

계면활성제는 소수성 화합물로 오염된 토양과 대수층을 복원하는데 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 톨루엔으로 오염된 사질토양을 복원하는데 사용될 수 있는 적당한 계면활성제들의 선택과 선택된 계면활성제들이 얼마나 효과적으로 톨루엔을 제거하는가를 연구하는데 있다. 사용된 토양은 Ottawa 사질 토양이며, 이용된 유기오염물질은 톨루엔이었다. 6종의 계면활성제의 선택은 독성도, 용해도 등에 따라 이루어졌으며, 이들을 이용한 계면활성제들의 선택실험 방법은 separatory funnel 실험과 shaker table agitation and centrifugation 실험이다. HLB 및 표면장력과 본 연구의 실험 결과에 의하여 6종의 계면활성제 중 가장 효율적인 종으로 Sandopan JA36(an anionic surfactant)과 Pluronic L44(a nonionic surfactant)가 선택되었다. 최고의 톨루엔 회수율 96%는 Sandopan JA36를 사용한 shaker table agitation and centrifugation 실험에서 얻었다.
