The stormwater runoff from road or expressway is known as one of important nonpoint pollution sources. To reduce the pollutants discharge from road or expressway, many best management practices(BMPs) have been applied and planned. Among the BMPs, road sweeping can be effective way to prevent pollutant washoff to environment. This study is performed to evaluate the characteristics of particles collected from the road by sweeping car. Size distribution and pollutant concentration of particles were analyzed. Based on the pollutant concentration and the specification of road such as length, width, and unit for pollutant generation, total amount of pollutant to be removed by road sweeping was estimated. Most of sediments collected by road sweeping was classified into sandy soil and fraction of fine grained soil was low. Although the concentrations of pollutants such as heavy metals in road sediments did not exceed the soil contamination criteria, washout of pollutants during sweeping work by spraying water might cause leaching of pollutants contained in sediments and thus resulted in low pollutant concentrations. Reduced amounts of pollutant by road sweeping showed 31.4% TSS reduction for ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ region and 7.7% TSS for ${\triangle}{\triangle}$ region. Other pollutants showed low reduction rate, because of their leaching by water spraying. Results from this study indicate that detailed and well-planned investigation for the road sweeping is necessary for the accurate estimation of pollutant reduction from road or expressway.

Mobile bacterial particles can act as carriers and enhance the transport of hydrophobic contaminants in ground water by reducing retardation effects. Because of their colloidal size and favorable surface conditions, bacteria can act as efficient contaminant carriers. When such carriers exist in a porous medium, the system can be thought of as three phases: an aqueous phase, a carrier phase, and a stationary solid matrix phase. Contaminant can be present in either or all of these phases. In this study, a mathematical model based on mass balances is developed to describe the transport and fate of biodegradable contaminant in a porous medium. Bacterial mass transfer mechanism between aqueous and solid matrix phases, and contaminant mass transfer between aqueous and bacterial phases are represented by kinetic models. Governing equations are non-dimensionalized and solved to analyze the bacteria facilitated contaminant transport. The numerical results of the facilitation effect match favorably with experimental data reported in the literature. Results show that the contaminant transport can be described by local equilibrium assumption when Damkohler numbers are larger than 10. Significant sensitivities to model parameters, particularly bacterial growth rate and influent bacterial concentration, were discovered.

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.

본 논문에서는 유류오염사고 발생에 의해 지반 내에 오염물이 유출되었을 때, 오염물 확산방지를 목적으로 차수재의 차수성능 평가를 위한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과, 차수재의 차수효과에 의해 동일한 투수계수 및 관측위치 조건에서 오염물 접촉시간 경과에 따른 농도가 크게 감소한 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 호소내 오염된 퇴적물 처리를 위한 전처리 장치로 Hydrocyclone의 이용가능 성을 평가하는 실험이다. 외국의 선행 연구자인 Rietema의 표준 규격을 참고하여 제작된 Hydrocyclone을 이용하여 기흥저수지 퇴적물로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 입자에 따른 오염 도 평가에서는 입자가 작을수록 포함된 오염물의 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 퇴적물을 이용한 장치특성 및 운전조건 변화에 따른 실험에서 공급속도가 빠르고, 공급시료의 농도가 낮으며, 장치의 크기가 작을수록 입자별 분리효율이 높았다.

해저퇴적물은 수생생물들의 주거공간을 제공하여 수생생태계에서 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러나 오염된 해저퇴적물은 수계에서 축적되는 양보다 퇴적물에서 수계로 용출되는 양이 많아 수계의 오염을 가중시키는 가장 끈 원인이 된다. 오염도가 높은 퇴적물에서는 특정종의 서식을 불가능하게 하거나 서식이 가능하다 할지라도 서식생물의 체내에 오염물이 농축되어 이는 먹이사슬을 통하여 수중서식생물들에게 축적되게 되어 궁극적으로 인간들에게도 나쁜 영향을 미치게 된다. (중략)

Colloids such as exogenous biocolloids in a bioremediation operation can enhance the transport of contaminant in ground water by reducing retardation effects. Because of their colloidal size and favorable surface conditions in addition to their low density, bacteria can act as efficient contaminant carriers. When mobile bacteria are present in a subsurface environment, the system can be treated as consisting of three phases: water phase, bacterial phase, and the stationary solid matrix phase. In this work, a mathematical model based on mass balances is developed to describe the facilitated transport and fate of a contaminant in a porous medium. Bacterial partition between the bulk solution and the stationary solid matrix, and the contaminant partition among the three phases are represented by the equilibrium relationships. Solutions were obtained to provide estimates of contaminant and bacterial concentrations. A dimensionless analysis of the transport model was utilized to estimate model parameters from the experimental data. The model results matched with experimental data of Jenkins and Lion (1993). The presence of mobile bacteria enhances the contaminant transport. However, bacterial consumption of the contaminant which serves as a bacterial nutrient, can attenuate the contaminant concentration.

Attempt was made to identify potential pollutants in Korean Sean and to assess their environmental qualities. Existing pollution data for these Seas so scarce that environmental quality assessment was not possible. However, numerous pollutants were identified. Among them, heat and radioactivity from electric power plants, organic wastes from ocean dumping and land based sources, and accidentally spilled oils are suspected to be of most concern.
