Abstract

A kinetic model for evaluating effects of surfactant on the biodegradation of HOC(hazardous organic chemicals) in soil-slurry systems was developed. The model includes the partition of HOC and surfactant, the dissolved-, micellar-, and sorbed-phase biodegradation, the enhanced solubilization of HOC by surfactant addition, and the mass transfer of HOC. Phenanthrene as HOC and Trition X-100, Tergitol NP-10, Igepal CA-720, and Brij 30 were used in the model simulations. The biodegradation rate was increased even with a small micellera-phase bioavailability. The biodegradation was not greatly enhanced due to decreased aqueous HOC concentration by increasing surfactant dose in both cases with and without micellar-phase bioavailability. The effect of sorbed-phase biodegradation on total biodegradation rate was not highly important compared to aqueous- and micellar-phase biodegradation. The model can be applied for surfactant screening and optimal design of surfactant-based soil bioremediation process.

토양 슬러리 시스템에서 유해물질의 미생물 분해시 계면활성제를 고려한 속도론적 모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델은 오염물질과 계면활성제의 분배, 미생물의 수용액상, 미셀상, 흡착상 분해, 계면활성제 첨가에 의한 대상물질 용해, 대상물질의 물질전달을 포함한다. 오염물질은 phenanthrene, 계면활성제는 Triton X-100, Triton NP-10, Igepal CA-720, Brij 30을 적용하였다. 미셀상 분해가 존재할 경우 매우 낮은 미셀상 이용도에서도 전체 분해속도를 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다. 미셀상 이용성이 존재하는 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우 모두 계면활성제 농도가 증가할수록 수용액상 농도가 감소하여 전체 분해속도는 감소하였다. 흡착상 분해는 수용액상 분해나 미셀상 분해와 비교하여 전체 분해속도에 미치는 영향이 적었다. 본 모델은 계면활성제를 이용한 오염토양 생물복원시 계면활성제 탐색과 최적 공정 설계에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
