Abstract

A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the kinetics of oxidation of trichloroethylene(TCE) in groundwater by potassium permanganate($KMnO_4$). Consumption of permanganate by TCE and aquifer material was also evaluated to obtain an appropriate injection rate of $KMnO_4$. TCE degradation by $KMnO_4$ in the absence of aquifer material was effective with a pseudo-first order rate constant, $k_{obs}=5.24{\times}10^{-3}s^{-1}\;at\;KMnO_4=500mg/L$. TCE oxidation by $KMnO_4$ was found to be second order reaction and the rate constant, $k=0.65{\pm}0.08M^{-1}s^{-1}$. Meanwhile, aquifer materials from the field site were actively reacted with permanganate, resulting in the significant consumption of $KMnO_4$. It might be attributed to the existence of metal oxides in the aquifer materials.

본 연구에서는 지하수내의 TCE 오염물질을 과망간산을 이용하여 산화분해할 경우의 반응율에 대하여 평가하였다. 또한 최적의 산화제 주입량 결정을 위하여 TCE뿐만 아니라 지하수 대수층 물질에 의한 과망간산의 소모율에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 대수층 물질이 없는 경우에 과망간산에 의한 TCE의 분해는 효과적으로 이루어졌으며 500 mg/L의 과망간산 농도에서 $k_{obs}=5.24{\times}10^{-3}s^{-1}$의 유사 1차반응계수를 얻었다. TCE와 과망간산에 대하여 각각 1차반응, 전체적으로는 2차반응을 나타내었다. 이때의 반응계수는 $k=0.65{\pm}0.08M^{-1}s^{-1}$였다. 반면 대수층 물질 자체는 산화제인 과망간산과 활발한 반응을 하여 상당한 소모효과를 나타내었으며 이는 대수층 물질내에 존재하는 금속산화물에 의한 것이라 판단된다.
