Partitioning tracers have been used with non-partitioning, inert tracer such Br, for detection, estimation, and monitoring of remediation performance of the subsurface contaminated with nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). Various partitioning tracers with different partition coefficients between aqueous and nonaqueous phase liquids can be used to determine the hydraulic conductivity, dispersivity, and residual mass of NAPLs in the subsurface soil matrices. Temporal moment-generating equations were used to analyze the field pilot-scale test results. The pilot-scale tests included conservative tracer tests and partitioning tracer tests. Analyses of nonaqueous phase liquid distribution and characteristics of groundwater bearing soil media were performed.

토양으로 유출된 비수용상액체(nonaqueous phase liquid; NAPL)의 제거를 위한 알코올 희석 세정공정의 기술개발을 위하여 3-D 토양탱크에서 NAPL 흡수 및 비흡수 알코올 단독 또는 공기 동시 주입공정에 의한 벤젠 NAPL 제거 효과를 평가하였다. 37L 규모의 토양탱크에 729mL의 벤젠을 주입하고 70%에탄올 (NAPL 비흡수 알콜)과 40%이소 프로판올(NAPL 흡수 알콜)을 탱크 하부에 설치된 주입정에 주입하고 상부의 추출정으로부터 자유상 NAPL 및 수용액을 추출하였다. 그리고 알코올 주입과 공기를 동시 주입하여 기존 토양칼럼실험에서 확인된 공기 동시주입시 화학세정 증대 효과를 아울러 평가하였다. 70% 에탄올 및 40% 이소-프로판올에 의한 토양탱크 세정공정 결과 전체 벤젠 제거율의 과반수는 자유상 NAPL 형태로 제거되었다. 알코올의 NAPL 흡수 특성에 따라 벤젠 제거 특성이 현저히 다르게 나타난 토양칼럼결과와 달리 3-D공정에서는 알코올 NAPL 흡수특성의 영향이 매우 적게 나타났다. 70%에탄올과 공기 동시 주입에 의한 벤젠 제거 증대 효과는 3-D 토양탱크 실험결과에서도 여전히 확인되었다. 그러나 NAPL 흡수 알코올인 40% 이소-프로판올은 공기 동시 주입에 의한 벤젠 제거 증대효과가 여전히 미미하게 나타났다. 3-D 토양탱크 실험결과 화학세정공정에 의한 NAPL제거에 있어 가장 중요한 인자는 추출정의 NAPL 및 유출수 추출능력이었다. 즉 토양내 효과적인 NAPL 정화를 위해서는 화학적인 작용에 의하여 이동된 자유상 NAPL 및 수용액을 밖으로 효율적으로 추출할 수 있는 공정이 필요하다.

The concurrent injection of cosolvent and air, a cosolvent-air (CA) flood was recently suggested for a dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) remediation technology. The objectives of this study were to elucidate the DNAPL removal mechanisms of the CA flood and to quantify mass transfer rate coefficients during CA flooding. DNAPL removal mechanisms were examined by evaluating the effects of air flow rate and DNAPL solubility and visually documented at a pore-scale. Two serial processes, immiscible displacement and dissolution, were experimentally and visually documented during CA flooding. Mass transfer rate coefficients (K) were computed from the data showing PCE saturation versus time. Results showed that CA floods exhibited higher K values than cosolvent floods without concurrent air injection.

Innovative and nondestructive characterization techniques have been developed to locate and quantify nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in the vadose and saturated zones in the subsurface environment. One such technique is the partitioning interwell tracer test (PITT). The PITT is a simultaneous displacement of partitioning and non-partitioning tracers through a subsurface formation. Partitioning tracers will partition into the NAPL during their transport through NAPL-contaminated formations. Mean travel times of partitioning and non-partitioning tracers are used to estimate the quantity of NAPL encountered by the displaced tracer pulse. Travel times are directly proportional to the partitioning coefficient and the volume of NAPL contacted in the subsurface environment. This paper discusses the conceptual background, design and implementation of PITTs.

Bioremediation of hazardous hydrophobic organic compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is a major environmental concern due to their toxic and carcinogenic properties. Due to their hydrophobicity, the hydrophobic organic compounds are mainly associated with the soil organic matter or nonaqueous-phase liquids. A major question concerns the relationships between biodegradation and sorption. This work develops and utilizes a non- steady state model for evaluating the interactions between sorption and biodegradation of phenanthrene, a 3-ring PAH compound, in soil-slurry systems. The model includes sorption/desorption of a target compound, its utilization by microorganisms as a primary substrate existing in the dissolved phase and/or the sorbed phase in biomass and soil, oxygen transfer, and oxygen utilization as an electron acceptor. Biodegradation tests with phenanthrene were conducted in liquid and soil-slurry systems. The soil-slurry tests were performed with very different mass transfer rate: fast mass transfer in a flask test at 150 rpm, and slow mass transfer in a roller-bottle test at 2 rpm. In the slurry tests, phenanthrene was degraded more rapidly than in liquid tests, but with a similar rate in both slurry systems. Modeling analyses with several hypotheses indicate that a model without biodegradation of compound sorbed to the soil was not able to account for the rapid degradation of phenanthrene, particularly in the roller bottle slurry test. Reduced mass-transfer resistance to bacteria attached to the soil is the most likely phenomenon accounting for rapid sorbed-phase biodegradation.

자연계로 유출된 유류 및 유기용매 등 비수용성액체는 토양공극사이에 존재하며 서서히 용해되면서 지속적인 수질오염원으로 작용한다. 본 연구는 유리로 제작된 다공성매체 실험장치를 이용하여 토양 공극사이에 위치한 비수용성액체의 용해현상을 시각화하였고, 이미지 분석기술을 이용하여 용해속도를 정량화하였다. 다공성매체 공극사이 TCE는 물의 유량을 빠르게 할수록 용해속도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 TCE로 오염된 지역의 강우량이 많거나, 지하수 유속이 빠른 지역일 경우 토양내 TCE 제거는 용이하게 일어날 수 있지만, 용해된 TCE의 지하수 유입으로 증가한다는 점을 시사한다. 다공성매체 공극사이 TCE의 현미경 이미지 관측결과, 물의 유량이 빠른 경우 역시 TCE blob 수가 급격히 감소함을 확인하였다. 물의 흐름이 용이한 우선흐름경로에 존재하고 있는 TCE는 물과의 용이한 접촉으로 용해가 빠르게 진행되었다. 반면 정체구역에 존재하는 TCE의 용해속도는 매우 느리게 나타났다. 현장 토양에서도 동일한 현상이 일어날 것이므로 지하수 조사결과 TCE의 검출이 계속된다면, 토양 공극사이에 여전히 TCE가 존재하고 있음을 암시하므로 이에 대한 대책이 강구되어야 한다.

In this study, the solubilization of dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) using oil-based emulsion was investigated for aquifer remediation. The micro-sized oil emulsion has large surface areas and buoyancy force, therefore it can be effective in treating DNAPL pool of the aquifer without downward migration of DNAPLs. The emulsion was prepared using silicone oil and mechanical homogenization. And the prepared emulsion had micro-sized similar distribution: 99 % in number and 80 % in volume were less than 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. As target pollutants, trichloroethylene and 1, 2 dichlorobenzene were selected. All of used DNAPLs were solubilized successfully in oil-based emulsion. Even at low oil percentage, emulsion showed good solubility against pollutants. Therefore, the remediation using oil-based emulsion was considered as an effective alternative in dealing with DNAPLs of the aquifer.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the hypothesis that a good technique for supplying oxygen to the saturated zone in the presence of light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) pool contamination at the water table is to pass air through the unsaturated zone above the pool. This hypothesis was evaluated in experimental studies performed using a bench-scale, sand-tank reactor, Steady-state abiotic experiments in the sand-tank reactor with air flowing through the reactor headspace demonstrated that oxygen supply through the water table interface into the saturated zone was enhanced when an LNAPL (dodecane) pool was present at the water table. These experimental results confirmed the hypothesis that an LNAPL pool can serve as a high concentration oxygen source to the oxygen-limited area beneath the pool and, as a result, enhance the in situ biodegradation rate.

토양공극에 위치한 벤젠-NAPL(Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid)에 대한 cosolvent 세정기술을 연구하였다. 토양칼럼을 이용하여 cosolvent 내 알코올 특성 및 농도 변화에 따른 NAPL 제거 변화를 실험하였다. NAPL에 흡수되어 부피를 증가시키는 NAPL swelling 알코올(1-프로판올, TBA)과 Non-swelling 알코올(에탄올) 특성에 따른 NAPL 제거 효과를 평가한 결과, 에탄올 cosolvent의 NAPL 제거 메커니즘은 용해이며, swelling 알코올의 주요 NAPL 제거 메커니즘은 이동임이 확인되었다. 토양 내 NAPL 제거에 있어 용해보다는 NAPL 이동에 의한 제거가 훨씬 효과적이었다. 알코올 농도 변화 실험에서, cosolvent 내 알코올 함유량이 40% 이상 되어야 토양 내 NAPL의 이동이 현저히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
