Abstract

A column testing device capable of measuring the electrical resistivity of soil at 3 different locations was developed to verify applicability of bulk electrical conductivity (BEC) breakthrough curves in monitoring contaminant transport. Tracer injection tests were conducted with three different types of saturated sands to obtain average linear velocities and longitudinal hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients based on BEC breakthrough curves and effluent solute breakthrough curves. Comparative analysis of transport parameters obtained from curve fitting the results into the analytical solutions confirmed the validity of resistance measurements in estimating time-continuous resident solute concentration. Under the assumption that a linear relationship exists between ${\sigma}_{sat}-{\sigma}_w-C$, the BEC breakthrough curves are able to effectively reduce the laborious and time-consuming processes involved in the conventional method of sampling and analysis. In order to reduce possible uncertainties in analyzing the BEC breakthrough curves, it was recommended that resistance measurements take place nearby the effluent boundary. In addition, a sufficient electrical contrast or difference in the electrical conductivity of the influent and the saturating solution is required to conduct reliable analysis.

본 연구에서는 오염용질의 이동특성을 분석하기 위한 측정방법으로서 전기저항센서를 부착한 주상실험기를 개발하였으며 3가지의 포화사질토에 비반응성 추적자를 주입하여 그 적용성을 평가하였다. 측정된 전기저항 값을 바탕으로 전기전도도 파과곡선을 얻었으며, 추정된 농도자료를 이류-확산 방정식에 대입하여 수리분산계수를 산정하였다. 유출수 파과곡선에서 추정된 평균간극유속과 종분산계수를 바탕으로 전기전도도 파과곡선의 신뢰성을 평가해본 결과 전제된 ${\sigma}_{sat}-{\sigma}_w-C$(흙의 전기전도도-간극수의 전기전도도-간극수 내 용질의 농도) 사이의 선형 조건이 성립할 시 측정된 전기저항치는 흙 매질내 간극수 용질의 상대농도를 간접적으로 추정할 수 있는 인자임을 확인하였다. 전기전도도 파과곡선은 실제농도(resident concentration)의 시간적 변화를 나타낼 수 있는 만큼 시간연속적인 전기저항 측정은 많은 시간과 노력이 요구되는 용출수 샘플링과 분석을 효과적으로 대체할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 불확실성을 줄이기 위해 저항측정위치와 주입되는 용액과 포화간극수와의 전기적 차이가 고려되어야함을 확인하였다.
