최근 수년간 유선 시뮬레이션은 연산 속도의 효율성과 수치 분산으로 인한 오차를 감소시킬 수 있는 장점으로 인해 많은 연구가 이루어졌으며 오염물의 거동을 모사 하는데 많이 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 유선 시뮬레이션의 기법을 이용하여 1차의 비평형 흡착을 고려한 오염물 거동 수치 모사를 수행하였다. 1차의 비평형 흡착의 경우 흡착 계수에 따라 오염물의 이동 속도가 민감하게 반응하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고 흡착 계수의 값이 커질수록 오염의 전파 지연 효과가 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 1차의 비평형 흡착의 경우에 평형 흡착과는 달리 오염이 진행되면서 오염물의 농도를 감소시키는 영향을 나타내었으며 이로 인하여 오염물이 더 이상 진행하지 못하는 제로라인을 형성하게 하였다. 이 제로라인은 흡착 계수의 값이 클수록 탈착 계수의 값이 작을수록 오염원에 가깝게 형성되었다.

In this stduy, adsorption and transport characteristics of Fe in the soil were investigated using convection-dispersion local equilibrium sorption model and two-site non-equilibrium sorption model. In batch experiments with different Fe concentration, characteristics of Fe adsorption was investigated using Freundlich and linear isotherm. Column experiments with different flow rate, organic matter content md Fe concentration were also carried out. We measured Fe concentrations in injection-liquid and in effluent, and then applied them to CXTFIT program. As a result of column experiments, some parameters(D, R, ${\beta}$, ${\omega}$) used in two-site non-equilibrium adsorption model were obtained. Characteristics of Fe transport were analyzed using the parameters(D, R, ${\beta}$, ${\omega}$) obtained from the CXTFIT program, Consequently, characteristics of Fe transport in the soil were predicted through two-site non-equilibrium adsorption model.

사질 토양에서의 유기물 함량이 벤젠의 흡착과 생분해에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 분말 활성탄(PAC)함량 조건에서 비평형 배치 실험을 실시하였다. 비평형 배치실험에서 벤젠의 흡착과 생분해를 비교하기 위하여 BTEX 화합물에 대한 분해능이 우수한 Pseudomonas aeruginosam의 유무에 따른 두 가지의 실험 조건을 설정하였다. 실험 결과 반응 시간 1일까지 빠른 흡착양상을 보였으며, 2일부터 20일 까지는 매우 느린 흡착 양상을 보였다. 활성탄의 함량이 증가할수록 벤젠의 흡착은 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, Pseudomonas aeruginosa가 첨가된 실험에서는 PAC 함량이 증가할수록 흡착은 증가하였으 나 bioavailability factor (B$_{f}$ ) 값이 감소하였다. 이는 bioavailability가 흡착에 의해 제한됨을 지시한다.

Surfactant adsorption by two montmorillonite types with different interlayer cations of Ca and Na was characterized by examining the time dependence of surfactant behavior on the clay surfaces. Surfactants with different micelle concentration were conducted in our experiment to observe a nonequilibrium activity of cationic surfactant on the clay over reaction periods ranging from 0.1 min to 11 days. As compared with Ca-montmorillonite (SAz), a more active intrusion of surfactant molecules into the interlayers was found in Na-montmorillonite (SWy). During a short 'initiation' stage, the basal spacing of SWy montmorillonite increased rapidly with logarithmic time. For SAz montmorillonite, however, the abrupt basal spacing increase occurred at the later stage of the reaction. From the result, the difference in the adsorption behavior exhibited by the two montmorillonite types partly results from their intrinsic nature, that is, inorganic cations originally existing on the clay surfaces. Additionally, the micelle concentration of surfactants affects the development of organo-montmorillonite, especially, in the intercalant formation and stabilization under nonequilibrium.

The solvent flushing apparatus for soil remediation was designed. After the soil around nuclear facilities was sampled and compulsorily contaminated by Co, the characteristics remediated by solvent flushing were analyzed. Meanwhile, the nonequilibrium sorption code was developed for modelling of the soil remediation by solvent flushing, input parameters needed for modelling were measured by laboratory experiment. Experimental results are as follows : The soil around nuclear facilities belongs to Silt Loam including a lot of silt and sand. When water was used as a solvent, the higher was the hydraulic conductivity. the higher the efficiency of soil remediation was. The values calculated by the nonequilibrium sorption code agreed with experimental values more exactly than the values calculated by the equilibrium sorption code. When EDTA solution was used as a solvent. the soil remediation efficiency by EDTA solution showed higher than that by water.

Phosphorous contaminated in the effluent from sewage treatment plants can cause the eutrophication in surface water bodies. In this study, a powder of titanium oxysulfate-sulfuric acid made of ion-exchange materials was immobilized in an alginate gel and this material was examined to evaluate its phosphorous removal efficiency. Equilibrium and kinetic studies were carried out to quantify the adsorption capacity and time dependent removal rate of phosphorous. Adsorption isotherms and kinetic parameters were obtained for the entrapped titanium beads with three different methods. Equilibrium data were analyzed using Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and found to be well fitted to the model. The maximum adsorption capacity for phosphorous by the titanium bead synthesized with the solution method was 92.26 mg/g. Kinetic data followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Due to the low production cost and high adsorption capacity, the titanium bead synthesized by the solution method has a potential to be utilized for the cost-effective removal of phosphorous from wastewater.

In this stduy, the column experiments were carried out assuming the soil was contaminated by leakage of gasoline containing MTBE from USTs and pipes around gas stations. Then, characteristics of MTBE transport in the soil were investigated using CXTFIT program. The column experiments with different soil properties, moisture content, organic matter content and flow rate were carried out. Some parameters(D, R, $\beta$, $\omega$) used in two-site non-equilibrium adsorption model were obtained from measuring the MTBE concentration in injection-liquid and in effluent and using CXTFIT program. In addition, The characteristics of MTBE transport in the soil was found using BTCs and obtained parameters. Consequently, the advection decreased as the increase of the content of fine particle and organic, while the MTBE transport by advection was enhanced as increasing flow rate and moisture content.

Sorption and desorption processes play an important role in the transport and fate of organic contaminants in subsurface system. In this study, sorption and desorption characteristics of atrazine in 7 soils selected at the Gwangju area were investigated. Soil organic carbon contents ranged from 0.42 to 2.82%. Sorption and desorption experiments were performed in batch slurries. Sorption distribution coefficient ($K_d$) of atrazine were ranged from 0.48 to 3.26 l/kg and $K_d$ value increased with increasing organic carbon contents except of Kyongbang and Youngdong soils. Single desorption data were analyzed by the three-site desorption model including equilibrium, non-equilibrium and non-desorbable site. Non-desorbable site fractions of atrazine in all soils were enumerated and non-desorbable atrazine was observed in seriesdilution desorption experiment. Sorption/desorption hysteresis was also observed in the series-dilution desorption experiment.

In the last decades, the decrease in biological or chemical availability of sorbed contaminants as contact time passed, is generally accepted. This phenomenon so called as "aging" or "sequestration" is known to directly affect risk of the contaminats. This was observed for mainly for hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs), but also reported for heavy metals. Aging is known to be directly related to sorption-desorption hysteresis, irreversible sorption, desorption-resistance, nonequilibrium sorption, etc. The decrease in bioavailability due to aging or sequestration indicates realistic decrease in risk potential. Recently a risk-based management concept by scientific evidences but not the simple measurement of contaminant concentration has been attempted to determine environmentally acceptable remedial endpoint. This is because selection of remedial endpoint based on not total concentration but the bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants can reduce both the treatment cost and remedial activities of the contaminated sites. The bioavailability and toxicity of the residual contaminants are highly affected by the fate and transport and also directly affect the exposure pathways and bioaccumulation of contaminants in the living biota. In this paper, scientific feasibility on the risk-based clean-up and management of contaminated sites is reviewed.

We investigated the mobilization of Cd, Pb, and Cr in two different soils in response to sorption capacities and competition for available sorption site while they moved under saturated water conditions. Two soil samples that were clay and sandy clay loam were collected within 20 cm from the upland surface. To do this, we used three different systems of heavy metal combinations such as single, binary, and ternary as solution phase. And then we observed the breakthrough curve (BTC) and elution as a function of pore volume by applying heavy metal solution and displacing K solution until these curves reached to maximum and minimum. The results showed that BTC and elution curves were not symmetric and it required more pore volumes with increasing species of heavy metals in solution phase, as well as longer tailings. Compared the areas over and under BTC and elution curve, relatively small amount of heavy metal was displaced by K even though there were differences in electronegativity among heavy metals. Conclusively, we assumed that heavy metals transport in soil could be influenced by soil physical nonequilibrium and chemical equilibrium in solution as far as there were more than two species of heavy metals existed.
