  • The effects of selected co-surfactants on diesel removal from sandy soil were studied to increase diesel recovery from the soil by the surfactant-enhanced remediation of diesel-contaminated soil. The capability of co-surfactant for enhancing removal efficiency can be related with the interaction between its structural character and the structural peculiarity of nonionic surfactant. In the case of Tween 80, hexanol showed the great improvement in diesel recovery. Efficiency of diesel recovery decreased as hydrocarbon chain length of cosurfactant decreased. Higher content of hexanol further increased diesel recovery, but there was no significant improvement in the case of butanol and pentanol.

  • There are serious issues with the application of surfactant flooding as a third recovery method, such as surfactant slug losses. In this study,the impact of the salinity gradient on the remobilization of oiltrapped in Berea sandstone was investigated by emphasizing the surfactant adsorption gradient and phase behavior to determine the optimal salinity of the chosen surfactant concentration for investigating the salinity gradient. Three salinity-gradient schemes were applied to six cores saturated with light and heavy oils. The positive salinity gradient provided the best recovery results with an in situ microemulsion formation that could be observed in the fluid collector.

  • 석유회수증진법은 저류층 내의 잔존 석유의 회수율을 높이는 기술로 그 종류가 다양하다. 이 중 화학적 공법에 사용되는 폴리머, 계면활성제는 온도, 염도 등에 영향을 받으므로 적용할 수 있는 저류층이나 생산조건에 제약이 있다. 이 연구에서는 최근 연구 자료를 기반으로 화학적 공법의 문제해결과 효율 향상을 위한 기술 개발에 대해 분석하였다. 고온 및 고염 조건에서 분해가 쉽게 발생하는 기존의 폴리머를 개선하기 위해 새로운 폴리머 및 주입법 기술이 개발되었고 석유회수증진이 비전통저류층으로 활용 범위를 확대함에 따라 셰일과 탄산염암 저류층에 적용 가능한 계면활성제 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 화학물질은 비용이 높아 아직까지 현장에서는 널리 활용되어지지 않고 있으며 추가적인 연구를 통해 비용을 절감할 수 있다면 석유회수증진을 위해 효과적으로 적용될 것이다.

  • The removal of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) from groundwater using pure water, via pump and treat, is quite ineffective due to their low solubility and hydrophobicity. Therefore, the objectives of pilot tests were to select potentially suitable surfactants that solubilize tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) present as contaminants and to evaluate the optimal range of process parameters that can increase the removal efficiency in surfactant-enhanced soil flushing (SESF). Used experimental method for surfactant selection was batch experiments. The surfactant solution parameters for SESF pilot tests were surfactant solution concentration, surfactant solution pH, and the flow rate of surfactant solution in the SESF pilot system. Based on the batch experiments for surfactant selection, DOSL (an anionic surfactant) was selected as a suitable surfactant that solubilizes PCE and TCE present as contaminants. The highest recovery (95%) of the contaminants was obtained using a DOSL surfactant in the batch experiments. The pilot test results revealed that the optimum conditions were achieved with a surfactant solution concentration of 4% (v/v), a surfactant solution pH of 7.5, and a flow rate of 30 L/min of surfactant solution (Lee and Woo, 2015). The maximum removal of contaminants (89%) was obtained when optimum conditions were simultaneously met in pilot-scale SESF operations. These results confirm the viability of SESF for treating PCE and TCE-contaminated groundwater.

  • 오염 토양 세척 공정에서의 계면활성제 비용을 줄이기 위해 활성탄을 이용한 선택적 흡착을 통해 계면활성제의 회수와 재이용 공정을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 토양 세척 공정, 계면활성제 회수 공정, 계면활성제 재이용에 의한 토양 재세척 공정으로 구성된 전체 공정에 대한 전산모사를 수행하여 운전변수에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 계면활성제 첨가량은 미셀 생성 농도의 6-10배 정도가 최적이었으며, 활성탄 첨가량이 너무 많을 경우 계면활성제 재이용 효율이 감소하는 결과를 얻었다. 토양 흡착 효율 인자는 세척 공정에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 반면, 활성탄 흡착 효율 인자는 회수 공정에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있었다. 계면활성제 회수 및 재이용 공정을 적용할 경우 기존 세척 공정에 비해 계면활성제 요구량을 20-30% 수준으로 줄일 수 있을 것으로 보이며 발생하는 폐수에서의 오염도도 크게 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모델을 통해 실제 복잡한 실험 이전 단계에서 전체 공정의 성능을 예측할 수 있으며 다양한 운전조건을 모사하여 최적의 운전조건을 도출하기 위한 기본적인 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) is a surfactant-based separation process and it can remove heavy metal ions from aqueous stream effectively. However, it is necessary to recover and reuse surfactants for economic feasibility because surfactant is expensive. Foam fractionation was investigated for both anionic and cationic surfactant recovery. Chelating agent such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was studied for the separation of heavy metals from surfactant solution. Anionic surfactants bound with heavy metals can be recovered by lowering pH (acidification). In this study, citric acid and imminodiacetic acid (IDA) were applied to release copper from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solution and compared with EDTA. Precipitation of copper by ferricynide and sodium sulfide were also investigated. As a result, ca. 100 % of copper was released from SDS micellar solution by 5 mM of EDTA and citric acid. And 3.3 mM of ferricyanide formed precipitate with 82.7 % of copper. 5 mM of IDA and sodium sulfide released or formed precipitate 82.5 % and 58.9 % of copper, respectively. Citric acid is harmless to environments and ferricyanide precipitates with Cu easily. Therefore, it is considered that citric acid and ferricyanide have competiveness over a famous chelating agent, EDTA, for the separation of Cu from SDS solution.

  • The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of surfactant on the rate of NAPLs(non-aqueous phase liquids) solubilization. The experimental variables were surfactant type, NAPLs type and water type. The main experimental designs were consists of two phases. The solubilization rate is sensitive to surfactant type based on this test. Used aqueous surfactants were solubilized and removed 72.77 to 89.90% of toluene, PCE(tetrachloroethylene) from the contaminated water during the test, respectively. T60 has higher and stable recovery ratio than SDS in surfactant type but, the micelle of the T60 is more weaker than that of SDS based on this study's results. And the solubilization rate in used water type was almost same.(deionized water, surface water).

  • Sericin is usually abandoned after the degumming process. However, it could be a valuable bioresource if an economically efficient recovery process could be set up. In this study, sericin was recovered directly from the degummed waste solution by adding calcium chloride, which induced the precipitation of the surfactant, sodium oleate, by charge interaction. The recovery yield was maximum when 10% of calcium chloride was added. Further increase in the calcium chloride concentration induced the precipitation of sericin. The recovered sericin had a molecular weight distribution similar to that of the hot-water-extracted sericin; but some highmolecular- weight sericin could not be recovered. The secondary structure and amino acid composition of the recovered sericin were similar to those of conventional hot-water-extracted sericin. We expect that sericin recovered from the degummed waste solution could be an alternative to the hot-water-extracted sericin, which is widely used in various applications.

  • 계면활성제는 소수성 화합물로 오염된 토양과 대수층을 복원하는데 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 톨루엔으로 오염된 사질토양을 복원하는데 사용될 수 있는 적당한 계면활성제들의 선택과 선택된 계면활성제들이 얼마나 효과적으로 톨루엔을 제거하는가를 연구하는데 있다. 사용된 토양은 Ottawa 사질 토양이며, 이용된 유기오염물질은 톨루엔이었다. 6종의 계면활성제의 선택은 독성도, 용해도 등에 따라 이루어졌으며, 이들을 이용한 계면활성제들의 선택실험 방법은 separatory funnel 실험과 shaker table agitation and centrifugation 실험이다. HLB 및 표면장력과 본 연구의 실험 결과에 의하여 6종의 계면활성제 중 가장 효율적인 종으로 Sandopan JA36(an anionic surfactant)과 Pluronic L44(a nonionic surfactant)가 선택되었다. 최고의 톨루엔 회수율 96%는 Sandopan JA36를 사용한 shaker table agitation and centrifugation 실험에서 얻었다.

  • 국내산 계면활성제를 이용하여 오일회수증진용 알칼리-계면활성제-폴리머(alkali-surfactant-polymer, ASP)용액을 제조하였다. 계면활성제는 현재 애경에서 사용되고 판매되어지는 리니어알킬벤젠술폰산(linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, LAS)과 디옥틸설포석신나트륨(dioctyl sulfosiuccinate, DOSS)을 사용하였으며 LAS와 DOSS를 1:1, 2:1의 비율로 섞어 합성계면활성제를 제조하였다. 염도는 0.8 wt.%에서 3.6 wt.%까지 변화시킨 뒤 계면활성제 용액과 오일모사로 쓰인 데칸(decane)을 섞어서 마이크로에멀젼 형성을 알아보았다. 염도가 변하면서 마이크로에멀젼 층은 증류수에서 오일로 이동하였으며 최적의 염도일 때 가용화 값을 측정하였다. 또한 표면장력 측정기를 이용하여 표면장력을 측정하였으며 Huh 방정식을 이용하여 계면장력을 측정하였다. 이후에 각각의 계면활성제 비율에 대한 마이크로에멀젼의 특성을 비교하였다.
