This study examined the contaminated soils with an indicator of TPH using SVE (Soil Vapor Extraction) and biological treatments. Their results are as follows. Water content in the polluted soils slowly decreased from 15% during the initial experimental condition to 10% during the final condition. Purification of polluted soils by Bioventing system is likely to hinder the microbial activity due to decrease of water content. Removal rate of TPH in the upper reaction chamber was a half of initial removal rate at the 25th day of the experiment. The removal rate in the lower reaction chamber was 45% with concentration of 995.4 mg/kg. When the Bioventing is used the removal rate at the 14th day of the experiment was 53%, showing 7 day shortenting. Since the Bioventing method control the microbial activity due to dewatering of the polluted soil, SVE method is likely to be preferable to remove in-situ TPH. The reactor that included microbes and nutrients showed somewhat higher removal rate of TPH than the reactor that included nurtients only during experimental period. In general, the concentration showed two times peaks and then decreased, followed by slight variation of the concentration in low concentration levels. Hence, in contrast to SVE treatment, the biological treatment tend to show continuous repetitive peaks of concentration followed by concentration decrease.

토양을 유류로 오염시킬 때 토양조성 및 유류 주입량 등이 토양 TPH 분석결과에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 동일한 양의 경유를 조성이 다른 토양과 혼합한 후 토양 TPH를 분석한 결과 토양에 점토 및 유기물함량이 존재한다면 모래로 구성된 토양에 비해 토양 TPH 결과가 적게 얻어졌다. 점토함량이 높은 토양일수록 분석전처리 시 토양이 굳는 현상이 발생하면서 실제 값보다 적은 TPH 결과치를 나타내었다. 토양 내 유기물 함유량 변화에 따른 토양 TPH 측정실험에서 유기물 함량이 높아질수록 토양 TPH 측정농도는 증가되지만, 극히 높은 18% 유기물함량조건에서는 전처리 및 용매추출의 불확실성으로 인해 오히려 낮은 TPH 분석 결과를 보여주었다. 경유 주입량에 따른 토양 TPH 농도 변화 실험 결과 경유 주입량이 많아질수록 높은 TPH 분석결과를 나타내었다. 동일한 양의 경유와 휘발유를 주입하여 유종에 따른 토양 TPH 분석결과 휘발유는 오염 즉시 휘발하여 극히 낮은 TPH 농도를 보여주었다. 본 연구결과는 차후 인위적 유류오염 토양 제조과정에서 TPH 농도를 가늠하거나 부지 정밀조사 결과 유류 유출량 등을 예측하는데 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to develope the remediation method of contaminated soils with metals and petroleum. The diesel degrading strain was isolated and identified from the soil contaminated by petroleum at industrial sites. Diesel biodegradation experiment was performed by diesel degrading bacteria in both solution and soil slurry. Contaminated soils by Zn or As and diesel were treated consecutively by steam-vapor extraction, biodegradation, and acid washing. The strain was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and named as Pseudomonas aeruginosa TPH1. The optimal culture conditions of TPH1 were $20^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, 3% of diesel concentration. Biodegradation of diesel was performed using the separated strain in liquid medium, and 63% of diesel was degraded in 72 hours. And 52% of diesel was removed in the tested soils. In the treatment of contaminated soils with diesel and Zn or As, 29% ~ 44% of diesel was reduced by steamvapor extraction, 60% ~ 71% of diesel was removed after biodegradation. 47% of Zn and 96% of As were removed after acid(mixture of sulfuric and oxalic acids) washing. It is recommended that consecutive treatment method of steam-vapor extraction, biodegradation and acid washing is effective for remediation of complex contaminated soils with metals and petroleum.

The main objective of this study is to assess the compatibility between Korean ministry of environment (KME) standard and ISO (KS I ISO) standard for the determination of BTEX and TPH content in soil. We carried out comparison analysis for both methods using CRM and matrix spiked samples. In case of GC-MS analysis for BTEX, we got statistically (significance level: 0.05) the same results from KME standard (ES 07600.1) and ISO standard (KS I ISO 15009). However, it showed statistically (significance level: 0.05) different results when TPH was analyzed by KME standard (ES 07552.1) and ISO standard (KS I ISO 16703). To clarify the reason why both methods produced different results for TPH content, we also did some additional experiments in terms of differences in extraction, clean-up and target hydrocarbon range. Extraction with polar and non-polar compounds mixed solvent (acetone+n-heptane) of KS I ISO 16703 showed higher extraction efficiency than with only non polar solvent (dichloromethane) extraction of ES 07552.1 by about 9%. While column type clean-up of KS I ISO 16703 showed the reduction in TPH content between before and after clean-up, batch type of clean-up of ES 07552.1 did not show any changes in TPH content through clean-up process. The target hydrocarbon range of ES 07552.1 and KS I ISO 16703 is $C_8{\sim}C_{40}$ and $C_{10}{\sim}C_{40}$, respectively. From this point of view, kerosene and JP-8 contaminated soil showed higher RPD (relative producibility deviation) values between results by both method than that of lubricant or diesel contaminated soil. The higher content of hydrocarbon ($C_8{\sim}C_{10}$) in kerosene and JP-8 played an important role in increasing RPD values in addition to the effects caused by different solvents and clean-up method. Consequently, it was concluded that both methods (ES 07552.1 and KS I ISO 16703) were not compatible.

Batch experiments were performed to investigate the feasibility of a surfactant-enhanced soil washing process for soils heavily contaminated with crude oil in Kuwait. TPH concentration of the contaminated soil was 223,754 mg/kg, sampled from the bottom of a vaporized oil extraction pond in the Burgan reservoir field. Commercialized eight nonionic surfactants (Tween and Tergitol series) were used to measure the aqueous solubility for the crude oil. Among them, two Tergitol surfactants were used to evaluate the TPH removal efficiency of the surfactant-enhanced soil washing for heavily contaminated Kuwait soil. The solubility of the crude oil in surfactant solution was in the order Tergitol 15-S-7 > Tergitol 15-S-9 > Tergitol 15-S-12 > Tween-80 > Tween-20 > Tween-60, which showed that the crude oil solubilities of the Tergitol series were higher than those of the Tween series. The TPH removal efficiencies of 2% and 5% Tergitol 15-S-9 solution were 59% and 65%, respectively. Because the residual TPH concentration in the washed soil was still higher than the clean-up level (10,000 mg/kg), the soil washing process was repeated five times. After the fifth washing, the residual TPH concentration in the soil went down to 7,680 mg/kg and its removal efficiency was 97%.

본 연구에서는 유류가 오염된 토양을 복원하기 위해 실제 현장의 토양성상과 오염현황을 조사하고 이 자료를 바탕으로 in situ복원기술인 토양증기추출법을 적용할 때 복원효율에 영향을 미치는 토양증기추출 장치의 운전조건과 토양성상의 영향을 검토하였다. 본 부지는 지하저장고에서 누출된 휘발유가 오염되어 있었고 그 농도는 BTEX가 최대 1.081ppm, TPH가 최대 5,548ppm이 포함되어 있었으며, 장기간에 걸쳐 지하 6m깊이까지 확산되어 오염물의 분포 면적은 170$\textrm{m}^2$, 오염토양의 총 부피는 약 1,000$\textrm{m}^3$으로 추산되었다. 오염부지의 토양은 지하 3~4m까지는 사질매립토이고 지하 4~6m에서는 불균질한 점토질이 섞인 미사토였으며 토양의 공기투수계수는 1.058-1.077$\times$$10^6$$\textrm{mm}^2$이었다. 이 부지내 일부지역에 지하수 흐름이 있으며 지하수위는 지하 약 3~4m부터 존재하였고 지하6m이하에는 암반이 존재하였다. 이 부지에 깊이 6m인 8개의 추출정과 7.5마력 용량의 진공펌프가 포함된 토양증기추출 장치를 설치하여 하루 8시간씩 100일간 운전한 결과 지하수가 존재하지 않는 사질토양에 있었던 BTEX는 90%이상의 효율로 제거하였으나 지하수대가 존재하는 지역에서는 BTEX와 TPH의 제거효율이 대폭 낮아졌다. 또한 토양증기장치에 의해 유도된 토양내 공기흐름은 토양깊이가 깊어질수록 공기 흐름량은 감소하여 복원효율이 떨어졌다.

Three types of experiments, based on the physical properties of oily sludge landfilled soil, were conducted to recover total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) from the soil. These experiments included gravity separation, solvent extraction using water, and air floatation. The oil portion was not easily separated from the wet (raw) soil because water molecules aggregate the soil particles, despite the fact that the soil was sandy. However, the drying and grinding processes destroyed the aggregates, causing the TPH recovery to increase to approximately 60% when air floatation was used. The drying process decreased the specific gravity of the soil sample, thereby enhancing the overall recovery of TPH from the soil. Although thermal desorption and/or incineration are common choices for heavily dumped sites, physical separation can recover the oil portion instead of simply removing it.

유류, 특히 경유와 윤활류로 오염된 지역에서, 원위치 토양 세정법(In-situ soil flushing)을 이용하여 오염된 토양과 지하수를 동시에 정화하였다. 연구 지역은 부산시에 위치한 4.5 m(가로) $\times$ 4.5 m(세로) $\times$ 6.0 m(깊이) (총 121.5 $\textrm{m}^2$) 규모의 유류 오염지역으로.사질 및 미사질층이 혼합되어 나타나는 평균 수리전도도가 2.0 $\times$ 1$10^{-4}$cm/sec인 불균질 토양으로 이루어진 부지이다. 오염지역 지하수에 비이온 계면활성제 sorbitan monooleate(POE 20) 2%와 이소프로필알콜 0.07%를 혼합한 용액을 이용하여 약 3 공극체적(pore volume)을 세정하였으며, 지하수만을 이용하여 계면활성제 용액 세정 이전과 세정 이후 각 1공극체적을 세정에 이용하였다(총 5 공극체적). 총 4개의 주입정을 이용하여 각 주입정당 1.8 l/min-0.5 l/min의 속도로 주간(8시간)에 연속 주입하였으며, 2개의 채수정을 이용하여 야간에는 1시간 간격과 주간에는 30분 간격으로 2분간 채수하였다. 분석을 위한 시료 채수는 매일 아침 9시와 저녁 5시에 각 채수정으로부터 200$m\ell$ 이상 채수하였으며, 채수 용액을 저장하는 혼합저장 탱크에서의 시료 채취도 병행하였다. 토양 세정기간동안 채수정으로부터 채수된 유출용액은 모두 저장탱크에 저장되었다가, 지하수처리 장치에 의해서 유류와 중금속, 고형물들을 제거한 후 배출되어졌으며, 토양 내 TPH(total petroleum hydrocarbon) 농도가 토양오염 우려기준치 이하로, 유출된 지하수는 폐수배출허용기준을 만족할 때까지 토양 세정을 실시하였다. 처리 지하수만을 이용한 세정의 경우 채수정의 유출수 TPH농도는 10ppm이하였다. 계면활성제 용액을 이용한 세정의 경우 채수정의 최대 TPH 유출 농도는 1761 ppm으로서 처리지하수만을 이용하였을 때보다 170배 이상 증가하였으며, 세정기간 동안 두 개의 채수정으로부터 약 18.5kg의 유류(TPH)가 제거되었다. 계면활성제 용액 세정시 유출수는 유류의 농도뿐만 아니라 중금속 농도도 함께 증가하였으며, 이러한 현상은 오염토양의 중금속 정화에도 유리하게 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다. 유류로 오염된 실제 지역의 불균질 토양과 지하수를 계면활성제를 이용한 원위치 세정법으로 효율적으로 정화함으로서, 실험실 연구에 제한되었던 원위치 세정법의 효율을 현장 오염 지역에서 증명할 수 있었고, 원위치 토양 세정법이 실제 오염지역의 토양$\boxUl$지하수 정화에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 입증하였다.

A field pilot-scale demonstration of an enhanced SVE using hot air injection and extraction was conducted to remove diesel range compounds from subsurface soils at a site in J-city, Korea. The objective of demonstration was to evaluate field ISR by intrinsic microorganism after an application study of hot air-SVE technology and to calculate each first-order kinetic with soil temperature. TPH concentration of contaminated soil at the site was approximately 2, 000~11, 000 mg/kg (average 6, 900 mg/kg) with depths greater than 5 m bgs. The 1st-order reaction rate constants, k were 0.0438(@about5$0^{\circ}C$), 0.0564(@4$0^{\circ}C$), and 0.0685(@33$^{\circ}C$) d-1 respectively.

This study was conducted to evaluate in-situ bioremediation ability of Bioil-D, microbial material for oil degradation, at a gas station that had been treated by SVE system. TPH concentrations and total contaminated soil volume were rapidly decreased after Bioil-D treatment. The performance of Bioil-D was also estimated based on the observation of microbial population at the soil samples and $CO_2$ concentration produced at the extraction wells. The field study showed a successful work of Bioil-D.
