Abstract

The electrokinetic technique has been applied to remove mainly the heavy metal and the ultrasonic technique to remove mainly organic substance in contaminated soil. In this study, the combined electrokinetic and ultrasonic remediation technique was studied far the removal of heavy metal and organic substance in contaminated soils. This study emphasized the coupled effects of electrokinetic and ultrasonic techniques on migration as well as remediation of contaminants in soils. The laboratory soil flushing tests combining electrokinetic and ultrasonic technique were conducted using specially designed and fabricated devices to determine the effect of both of these techniques. A series of laboratory 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 of heavy metal and organic substance. An increase in out flow, permeability and contaminant removal rate was observed in electrokinetic and ultrasonic flushing tests. Some practical implications of these results are discussed in terms of technical feasibility of in situ implementation of electrokinetic ultrasonic remediation technique.

본 논문에서는 동전기초음파정화기술을 이용하여 오염지반내의 중금속 및 유기물질을 제거하는 연구를 수행하였는데, 지반내 오염물질의 이동 및 제거에 대한 동전기기술과 초음파기술의 복합효과 분석에 초점을 두었다. 일반적으로 오염지반내에서 동전기기술은 중금속을 제거하는데 탁월하며 초음파기술은 유기물질을 제거하는데 탁월한 것을 보고되어 있는바 이들 두 기술의 장점을 이용한 복합기술을 고안하게 되었다. 특수하게 고안된 실험장비를 이용하여 동전기기술과 초음파기술을 결합한 실내토양세척실험을 실시하였다. 본 실험에서는 단순, 동전기, 초음파, 동전기&초음파의 4조건에 대하여 토양세척실험을 실시하였다. 오염물질로는 중금속으로는 납, 유기물질로는 에틸렌글리콜을 사용하였다. 실험결과 동전기기술과 초음파기술을 도입한 경우 유출량, 투수계수, 오염물질 제거율이 단순기술에 비하여 상대적으로 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 동전기초음파정화기술을 현장에 적용할 수 있는 가시적인 결과를 얻게 되었다.
