국내의 토양오염 공정시험방법에서는 Zn, Ni 추출시 산분해법에 가까운 방법을 사용하는 반면, Cd, Cu, Pb, $Cr^{6+}$ 추출시 0.1N HCl용액으로 산처리하여 1시간을 진탕한 후 이를 필터로 여과하여 분석용액을 추출하는 용출법을 사용하고 있다(환경부, 2001). 시료내에는 완충 물질이 존재하기 때문에 용출법 사용시 초기 pH 인 1(0.1N HCl)이 유지되지 않아 완충능력이 높은 토양의 경우 현재 국내 공정법상의 용출법이 중금속 오염정도를 추정하는데 적절치 않을 수 있다. (중략)

A series of batch and lab-scale continuous tests were conducted to optimize the design parameters for the full-scale in-situ soil flushing experiments. The cleaning abilities of the surfactant solutions of Tween 80, Triton X-100 and SDS were compared for the soil artificially contaminated by hydrophobic organic contaminants: n-dodecane, naphthalene and anthracene. Tween 80 and Triton X-100 were shown to be efficient for n-dodecane. SDS and Tween 80 were shown to be efficient for naphthalene and anthracene. At the end of each column test, the sorbed amount of surfactant to soil was also measured. Tween 80 was found to be the least adsorbed surfactant to soil. The flushing ability at flowrate of 7 ml/min, was hampered comparing to flowrate of 3 and 5 ml/min. Initial pH of the soil did not significantly affect the flushing efficiencies. Tween 80 was determined as the most harmless surfactant for the Gram(+) and Gram(-) bacteria.

To examine the effects of amendments on heavy mineral oil degradation, a pilot scale experiment was conducted for over 105days. During the experiment, soil samples were collected and analyzed periodically for the determination of residual hydrocarbon and microbial activities. At the end of the experiment, the initial level of contamination ($6,205{\pm}173mgkg^{-1}$) was reduced by $33{\sim}45%$ in the amendment amended soil; whereas only 8% of the hydrocarbon was eliminated in the non-amended soil. Heavy mineral oil degradation was much faster and more complete in compost amended soils. Enhanced dissipation of heavy mineral oil in compost amended soil might be derived from increased microbial activities (respiration, microbial biomass-C) and soil enzyme activity(lipase, dehydrogenase, and FDA hydrolase) were strongly correlated with heavy mineral oil biodegradaton (P < 0.01).

CCA 처리 방부 목재로부터 용출되는 크롬, 구리 및 비소는 주변의 토양을 오염시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 방부 목재를 사용하여 설치한 방음벽 주변의 토양을 채취하여 분석하였다. 방음벽은 4차선의 자동차 도로와 마을 사이에 1m 높이의 콘크리트 구조물 위에 설치되었다. 수평 및 수직 시료와 더불어 대조 토양 시료를 채취하여 목재 방음벽으로 인한 주변의 토양 오염도를 평가하였다. 방음벽 인접한 곳의 토양이 대조시료에 비해 10-13mg/kg 더 높은 것으로 나타났고, 1년 전에 채취하여 분석한 자료와 비교했을 때, 시설물 인접 토양에서 크롬과 비소의 농도가 더 낮은 것으로 보아, 구성 성분의 용출 속도는 감소하고 토양에 용출된 성분은 강우 등에 의해 주변으로 이동한 것으로 판단된다.

국내에서는 1990년대 이후부터 주유소 및 유류저장시설 부근의 토양 및 지하수오염에 관한 법이 제정되었으며 그와 관련된 복원 및 정화 기술개발에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중 미생물학적 대사를 이용하는 생물학적복원기술(Bioremediation)은 유류로 오염된 지역에서 정화 및 복원방법으로 적용되고 있으며 또한 경제적인 대안으로 제시되고 있다. Bioremediation기법중 하나인 bloventing은 운전 및 처리비용의 감소와 효율의 향상적인 측면에서 여러 연구자들에 의해 수행되고 있다. 기존에는 오염토양에 대한 물리ㆍ화학적 분석과 미생물 활성에 미치는 인자의 측정이 주를 이루었다. 그러나, 최근에는 토양 가스내 $CO_2$ $O_2$의 측정ㆍ분석을 통한 분해율 평가와 탄화수소 분해에 대한 경과 및 복원시간을 예측하고자 하는 연구가 이루어지고 있는 중이다. 본 연구의 목표는 유류오염지역을 복원하기 위한 기술 중 생물학적 복원기술(bioremediation)의 하나인 bioventing 기술의 국내 적용가능성을 알아보고 궁극적으로 국내 실정에 적합한 bioventing공법의 개발을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 lab-scale bioventing process를 이용하여 생부해를 최대화시키고 오염성분의 휘발을 최소화시키는 bioventing system의 최적운전 mode(연속식, 간헐식)를 개발하기 위해 공기공급량과 생분해량, 그리고 휘발되는 탄화수소양과의 관계를 평가하는 연구를 수행하였다.

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.

In Korea, soil is being transported in and taken out for the purpose of national land development, but the soil is being moved without consideration of soil contamination. Therefore, this is a policy-focused study of the management system on soil moving. In this study, we analyzed current state of domestic and foreign management and suggested three alternatives for management of soil moving in 1) self-regulation, 2) obligatory regulation, 3) phase-in according to types of regulation. In order to establish a clear and reasonable management system for soil movement in the future, it is necessary to improve the legal and institutional limitations of the current soil environmental law as suggested by this study.

In this study, to select the best stabilizer for the heavy metals-contaminated soil from a smelter area during phytoremediation, a plant uptake experiment and a soil stabilization were simultaneously applied using Pteris multifida Poir. and five pre-screened stabilizers(zeolite, Mn dioxide, slag, Ca oxide, and magnetite). The extracted heavy metal was measured and compared using a 3 step sequential extraction for the soil samples. The growth rate of the plant was also evaluated. The stabilizers stabilized heavy metals in soil and reduced the extraction rate. Magnetite and calcium oxide showed better results than other stabilizers. The stabilizers enhanced the growth of the plant. All the heavy metals except for arsenic were concentrated in roots while arsenic was concentrated in leaves of the plant. It is concluded that the stabilizers can minimize the heavy metal release from the contaminated soil during phytoremediation and stimulated the growth of plant. These effects of stabilizers could compensate for some weak points of phytoremediation such as reaching of heavy metals by rainwater.

The purpose of this study was to predict environmental distribution of anthracene, benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, 1-methylphenanthrene and phenanthrene in a four phase biopile system - air, water, soil and non aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) phase using level I fugacity model. Soil samples used for this study were collected from three sites in the United Kingdom which were historically contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. The level I fugacities (f) for the five contaminants were markedly different, however, the fugacities of each contaminant in three soil samples did not show significant difference. NAPL and soil were the dominant phases for all five contaminants. Results of this study indicated that difference in percentage of organic carbon strongly influenced the partitioning behavior of the cntaminants. The presence of benzene calls for an urgent need for risk-based management of air and water phase. Whereas insignificant amount of chemicals leached in the water phase for other organic contaminants showing greatly reduced potential of groundwater contamination. Furthermore, this study helped us to confirm the association of risk critical contaminants with the residual saturation in treated soils. They also can be used to emphasize the importance of accounting for the partitioning behavior of both NAPL and soil phases in the process of the risk assessment of the sites contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.
