Abstract

Zerovalent iron (ZVI) has been recently used for environmental remediation of soils and groundwaters contaminated by chlorinated organic compounds. As a new approach to improve its reductive activity and stability, zerovalent iron-montmorillonites (ZVI-Mt) complex are synthesized by simple process. Therefore, this study was carried out to elucidate the characteristics of ZVI-Mt complex and to investigate degradation effects of fungicide chlorothalonil. The XRD patterns of ZVI-Mt complex showed distinctive peaks of ZVI and montmorillonite. In ZVI-Mt complex, the oval particles of ZVI were partly surrounded by montmorillonite layers that could prevent ZVI surface oxidation by air. The degradation ratio of chlorothalonil after 60 min exhibited 71% by ZVI and 100% by ZVI-Mt complex. ZVI-Mt21 complex exhibited much higher and faster degradation ratio of chlorothalonil compare to that of ZVI or ZVI-Mt11 complex. Also, degradation rate of chlorothalonil was increased with increasing ZVI or ZVI-Mt complex content and with decreasing initial solution pH.

본 연구에서는 유기성 화학물질로 오염된 지하수, 수질 및 토양의 효과적인 복원제로 활용되고 있는 ZVI의 반응성 및 안정성을 높이기 위하여 ZVI에 montmorillonite를 첨가하여 합성된 ZVI-Mt 복합체의 특성과 유기염소계 오염물질의 효과적인 제거제로서의 활용가능성을 조사하였다. X-선회절분석 결과 ZVI는 $44.9^{\circ}$ 부근에서 broad reflection peak를 나타내었으며, ZVI-Mt 복합체는 ZVI와 montmorillonite의 전형적인 peak가 관찰되었다. ZVI-Mt 복합체의 형태는 montmorillonite 층이 추형의 ZVI 입자를 부분적으로 둘러싸고 있었으며, ZVI가 공기 중의 산소에 의해 급격히 산화되는 것을 방지할 수 있는 구조적 형태를 나타내었다. ZVI-Mt 복합체에 의한 chlorothalonil의 분해율이 ZVI에 비해 보다 빠르고 높게 나타났으며, 반응 60분 후에는 chlorothalonil이 완전히 분해되었다. ZVI, ZVI-Mt(2:1) 및 ZVI-Mt (1:1) 모두 pH가 낮을수록 chlorothalonil의 분해가 잘 일어났으며, 모든 pH 영역에서 ZVI 보다 ZVI-Mt에 의한 chlorothalonil의 분해 효율이 높게 나타났다. 그러므로 기존의 방법에 의해 ZVI를 합성하는 것 보다는 montmorillonite를 혼합하여 복합체를 형성하는 것이 montmorillonite 층의 card section현상에 의해 ZVI의 환원력과 안정성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다.
