Parametric studies based on laboratory pilot tests were performed to investigate the relationships between electrical resistivity and properties of contaminated soils. Three kinds of sandy soils sampled and leachate from an industrial waste landfill were mired to model the contaminated soils. Electrical resistivity of soils was measured by using a simulated resistivity cone penetrometer probe. In the experiments. the electrical resistivity was observed by changing the water content, void ratio, unit weight, degree of saturation, and concentration of the leachate. The test results show that the electrical resistivity of soils depends largely on the water content and the electrical property of pore water rather than unit weight and types of soils.

Electroosmotic tests were performed on saturated marine clay specimens contaminated with lead to investigate the efficiency of the electrokinetic technique for removal of heavy metals from the cohesive soils. For this purpose, testing program included variable conditions such as the concentration of lead (500, 5, 000, 50, 000mg/kg), the level of electrical current (10, 50, 100 mA), operating duration (5, 15, 30days), and the application of three dirtferent chemicals for enhancement in efficiency. The pH of inflow and outflow, electroosmotic flow and electrical conductivity during the test, and the pH and the concentration of lead across the specimen after the test are presented. Test results came to the conclusion that the electrokinetic technique was very effective to remove heavy metals such as lead from the contaminated cohesive soil. Adding ecetic acid at the cathod to dissolve the procipitates of lead hydroxide as found to be effective for the enhancement of the efficiency in remediation.

The purpose of this study was to prevent spreading of contaminants from movement of underground water by creating a barrier using artificial freezing method on a soil contaminated by oils and various DNAPLs. Specimens with 80% and 90% degrees of saturation were prepared to form freezing barrier using artificial freezing method. As the results of freezing specimen within soil bin with artificial ground freezing system, artificial contaminated soil cut off wall formed the thinnest wall after 12 hours. It is judged that this cut off wall will control the second soil pollution by intercepting expansion and movement of pollutants and DNAPLs within artificial contaminated soil cut off wall by underground water, intercepting inflow or outflow of underground water. Cut off walls formed by artificial ground freezing system had each other freezing speed according to degree of saturation.

To evaluate the applicability of dielectric constant measurement method on the geoenvironmental investigation of subsurface contaminated by landfill leachate, the analysis on dielectric characteristics of sand containing contaminated pore water by landfill leachate was performed. The separate real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant were investigated in the frequency range of 75kHz to 12MHz. The real part of dielectric constant increased at the lower frequency wherea the real part of dielectric constant decreased at the higher frequency as the concentration of leachate increased. These results can be explained by the frequency dependence of space charge polarization and orientation polarization. The imaginary part of dielectric constant on the contaminated sand with leachate increased with their concentration for whole frequency range. These results are caused by the increase of energy loss due to the enhancement of conduction in soil with leachate concentration. The results in this study indicate that the dielectric constant measurement method has potential in evaluating the contaminated soil and pore water by landfill leachate.

In this study, it was sampling from heavy metal-contaminated soil with the waste in railroad workshop. And, the pollution concentration and analysis of particle-size distribution were conducted to design efficient purification process that it was aimed at high contaminated area, low contaminated area and samples containing waste foundry sand. But, it was the other signs of general soil contamination, as construction waste of waste concrete and waste wood, waste foundry sand, incinerator ash, etc is overall buried on the grounds. Thus, the common heavy metal purification technology has not decreased the pollution. However, heavy-metal contamination was reduced by magnetic separation utilizing the magnetic component of the mixed waste.

중금속 및 유류 오염토양 정화를 위해 효율적인 토양세척법과 공정 선정을 목적으로 최적의 오염정화 설계인자를 제시하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험분석 항목은 구리, 납, 아연을 포함하는 중금속항목과 총석유계탄화수소(TPH)인 유류항목에 대해 흡광광도법(absorptiometric analysis), 기체 크로마토그래피(gas chromatography)법을 이용하여 단계별로 분석하였다. 실험방법은 최적 세척용매 결정시험, 최적 세척시간 도출시험, 최적 진탕비(S/W ratio) 결정시험 등을 통해 얻어진 결과를 토대로 계면활성제 첨가량별 중금속 용출영향 분석시험 순으로 실시하였다. 실험결과 세척용매인 염산 0.1mole, 체류시간 1시간, 진탕비 1:3 조건에서 오염물질의 저감효과가 우수하게 나타났으며, 이들 조건을 적용하였을 때 1%의 계면활성제를 세척용매에 첨가하였을 경우 추가적인 오염물질의 농도 저감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

연직차수벽은 오염지역이나 폐기물 매립장에서 오염된 지하수 (때로는 오염된 수증기) 흐름을 차단하거나 또는 오염지역의 정화처리시 효율을 높이기 위하여 외부로부터 지하수 흐름을 막기 위해 설치된다. 이 논문에서는 연직차수벽의 가장 중요한 설계요소인 차수벽체의 현장 투수성을 평가하는 방법들중 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 단공식 순간 변위시험 (slug test)을 소개한다. 연직차수벽에서 실행된 단공식 순간 변위시험 결과를 해석하기 위해서, 연직차수벽의 압축성과 기하학적인 특성을 고려한 수정된 linear curve fitting 방법을 제안하고 그 적용성을 case study를 통해 평가한다. 기존의 대수층 투수계수 산정에 이용된 curve fitting 방법들에 비하여 수정된 linear curve fitting 방법은 보다 정확한 연직차수벽체의 투수성을 평가하도록 한다.

동굴이 개발될 때에는 반드시 그 환경도 파괴되고 동굴 생성물들의 오손 오염도 각오하여야 한다. 즉, 종유석은 일차로 개발하거나 내부 시설을 할때 파손되었고 이차로는 관광객에 의하여 오손되고 다시 삼차로는 종유석의 성장에 따라 중력에 의하여 천정의 지반이 약화되거나 또는 상층 지반의 암석이 판상을 이루거나 층상으로 되어있어 동굴 바닥으로 낙반되어 파손되기도 한다. 그리고 최근에는 관광개발된 이후에도 사회생활의 안정에 따라 취미삼아 수석, 장식품 등으로도 종유석이 환영받고 있으므로 동굴속의 종유석이나 석순은 남몰래 파손되어 가고 있는 것이다.(중략)
