Abstract

Numerical simulation was carried out to study the trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation by permeable reactive barrier (PRB), and revealed the effect of concentration of TCE, iron medium mass, and concentration of iron-reducing bacteria (IRB). Newly developed model was based on axial dispersion reactor model with chemical and biological reaction terms and was implemented using MATLAB ver R2006A for the numerical solutions of dispersion, convection, and reactions over column length and elapsed time. The reaction terms include reactions of TCE degradation by zero-valent iron (ZVI, Fe$^0$) and ferrous iron (Fe$^{2+}$). TCE concentration in the column inlet was maintained as 10 mg/L. Equation for Fe$^0$ degradation includes only TCE reaction term, while one for Fe$^{2+}$ has chemical and biological reaction terms with TCE and IRB, respectively. Two coupled equations eventually modeled the change of TCE concentration in a column. At Fe$^0$ column, TCE degradation rate was found to be more than 99% from 60 hours to 235 hours, and declined to less than 1% in 1,365 hours. At the Fe$^{2+}$ and IRB mixed column, TCE degradation rate was equilibrated at 85.3% after 210 hours and kept it constant. These results imply that the ferrous iron produced by IRB has lowered the TCE degradation efficiency than ZVI but it can have higher longevity.http://kci.go.kr/kciportal/ci/contents/ciConnReprerSearchPopup.kci#

본 연구에서는 지하수 내 투수성 반응벽체(permeable reactive barrier, PRB)의 TCE 처리에 관한 모델링을 수행하여 trichloroethylene (TCE)의 농도, 컬럼의 단위 부피당 철 매질의 질량, 철환원균(iron-reducing bacteria, IRB)의 농도에 대하여 각각의 유기적인 관계를 고찰하였다. 1차원 이송 확산 반응 방정식을 MATLAB을 이용하여 이송, 확산, 그리고 분해 반응 등을 컬럼의 길이, 실험 수행 시간에 따라 모델하였으며, 유한차분법(finite differential method, FDM)으로 수치해를 구하였다. 영가철 및 2가 산화철은 TCE에 의한 반응항과 철환원균에 의한 반응 항으로 나누어서 식을 정리했다. TCE 주입농도는 10 mg/L로 설정하여 영가철 및 2가 산화철에 의한 각각의 관계를 모델링했다. 또한, 철환원균 농도와 산화철 환원 모델을 통해 철환원균의 농도에 따른 산화철 환원 효율을 해석했고, 이것이 전체 TCE 분해에 어떤 영향을 주는지 모델로 나타냈다. 영가철 컬럼에서는 TCE 제거 효율이 60시간에서 235시간 동안 99% 이상을 나타냈고, 1,365시간 이후에 1% 이하로 떨어졌다. 2가 산화철 컬럼의 경우 TCE와 반응을 시작한 210시간 이후에 평형을 이루었고, 85.3%의 일정한 제거 효율을 나타냈다. 모델의 결과에 따르면, 철환원균에 의한 2가 산화철의 경우 영가철보다 TCE 제거 효율이 떨어지지만 더 높은 제거수명을 가질 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
