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.

Sedimentation is one of the most common and important units in conventional water treatment plant. Structure such as various baffle walls and inclined plate settler may be obstacles to the horizontal flow when it is poorly designed. Therefore, the effects of these structures on characteristics of hydraulic flow must be evaluated to improve the settling efficiency of the floc. The hydraulic characteristic of the two sedimentations at Y water treatment plant (YWTP), which have different deflector baffles inside the settling basin, were investigated by tracer (fluoride) test. The inclined plate settler installed inside settling basin caused an undesirable impact on horizontal flow and produced dead zone. Solid baffle wall under the plate settler could help to minimize the formation of density currents and flow short circuiting. NaF used as a tracer was recovered more than 90% at investigated all basins. Morill index ($t_{90}/t_{10}$), Modal index ($t_p/T-HRT$) and short-circuiting index ($[M-HRT-t_p]/M-HRT$) were determined from tracer test results performed at YWTP. Those indices ranged 2.95~3.02, 0.40~0.53 and 0.32~0.46, respectively.

To demonstrate prevention of the leachate leakage out of the landfill with creating inward hydraulic gradient, a tracer test and continuous waterlevel monitoring at the Inside and outside of the barrier wall of a costal landfill were peformed. When the tracers were injected into the well outside of the vertical wall system with high water level, then they were detected at the well inside of the system with low water level. Furthermore the lowered water level at the inside of the landfill than that at the outside prevented leachate leakage out of the landfill. This study reports results of the tracer test and waterlevel monitoring.

Self diffusion coefficients of $^{67}$Co and impurity diffusion coefficients of $^{51}$Mn and $^{65}$Zn in single crystalline CoO have been measured by applying different radioactive isotopes simultaneously. To compare the residual activity method and the tracer sectioning method we analyzed our tracer diffusion experiments by using both methods simultaneously. According to our experimental results, the diffusion coefficients obtained from both methods are identical within experimental error, demonstrating the relibility of our experimental procedures. The diffusion coefficients of all the isotopes obtained during these test experiments for the methodology are similar in magnitude and show similar dependences on oxygen partial pressure. These first observations indicate that impurity diffusion of Mn and Zn occur via a vacancy mechanism as known for self diffusion of cobalt.

Estimations of porosity and bulk density, particle size analysis of soli samples, tracer test and slug test were performed in a petroleum contaminated area of Kangwon for understanding characteristics of the aquifer. Porosities of the samples were estimated 0.158~0.257, and bulk densities were estimated as $1.73\sim2.10\;g/cm^3$. Majority proportion of the soil samples was 0.5~1.0 mm size. In the soil texture triangle, all samples were distributed at sand area. Uniformity coefficients were estimated as 7.71~10.39, and thus all samples were poorly-sorted. In the tracer test, Darcy velocity was estimated to $4.8\times10^{-6}$ cm/day, effective porosity was 0.175, and longitudinal dispersivity was 0.1 m. According to the slug test, hydraulic conductivities of the test wells were estimated as $2.243\times10^{-2}\sim1.634\times10^{-2}$ cm/sec. These hydrogeologic parameters can be used for efficient remediation design of the petroleum contaminated area.

This paper aims for evaluating the wind-driven ventilation in basement parking lots of apartment. Wind tunnel tests coupled with tracer gas method were conducted, and classified by wind directions and opening types. The test results showed that, as for wind-driven ventilations, stack type openings were more successful than scuttle vent. Finally, according to Weibull distribution in Seoul, yearly averaged wind-driven ventilation rate was calculated.

본 연구에서는 포항시 양덕정수장에 tracer test를 이용한 pilot plant를 설치하여 기존 플록형성지에 대한 문제점을 도출하였다. 또한 플록형성지 각단 유출부의 단면을 여러 가지 형태로 변경시키면서 수리학적 평가를 실시하였고, 그 결과 플록형성지의 각단 유출부에 대한 최적 개량단면을 제시하였고, plant에 적용하여 현재 운전중에 있다. 또한 입자의 크기별 개수를 측정할 수 있는 particle counter를 이용하여 플록형성지 개량후의 효율을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 체류시간에 관계없이 전체적으로 비슷한 흐름과 index 수치를 나타내므로 체류시간을 가능한 짧게 잡는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다. 또한 양덕정수장의 플록형성지 개선공사후 기존의 플록이 깨어지는 문제가 개선되어 상당히 양호하게 운전되고있으며, tracer test를 이용한 수리학적 특성 실험방법은 플록지형성지 뿐만 아니라 기존 정수장의 단위공정에 대한 성능평가나 시설개선에 사용할 수 있으며, 신설정수정의 설계인자를 구하는데 유용하게 이용할 수 있다.

In the case of the remediation studies, push pull test is a more time and cost effective mettled than multi-well tracer test. It also gives Just as much or more information than the traditionally used methods. But the data analysis for the hydraulic parameters, there have been some defections such as underestimation of dispersivity, requirement for effective porosity, and calculation of recovery of center of mass to estimate linear velocity. In this research, Weibull distribution function is proposed to estimate the center of mass of breakthrough curve for Push pull test. The hydraulic parameter estimation using Weibull function showed more exact values of center of mass than those of exponential regression for field test data.

분배성 추적자 시험법은 LNAPLs(light nonaqueous phase liquids)로 오염된 지반을 조사하는데 아주 유용한 방법이다. 하지만 토양 내 유기물질로 흡착되는 분배성 추적자는 잠재적으로 분배성 추적자 시험법의 정확성에 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 연구 결과, 추적자의 액상-LNAPL 간 분배 계수는 선형 관계를 보였다. 토양의 흠착능력을 평가하기 위해 흡착 등은 실험을 수행한 결과, Freundlich 흡착 등은 양상과 거의 일치하였고, 추적자의 흡착 정도는 토양 내 유기물질 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 또한, 토양 유기물의 흡착능에 따른 잠재적 영향을 판단하고, 추적자 시험법에 의한 LNAPLs 예측의 오차를 수정하기 위해 서로 다른 유기물 함량을 가진 4개의 컬럼 실험을 수행하였다. 컬럼 실험 결과, 오염물질이 없더라도 주문진 표준사와 유기물질이 섞인 컬럼에서는 추적자의 분리 현상이 발생하였다. 오염물질로 케로진을 주입한 이후에 다시 추적자 시험법을 수행하여 파괴곡선을 구한 결과, 토양 유기물질에 대한 추적자의 흡착으로 인해 추적자의 지연계수(R)가 커졌고 LNAPLs의 오염도가 과대평가 되었다. 또한 컬럼 실험 결과를 바탕으로 유기물 함량과 LNAPLs의 예측도 사이의 관계식을 제안하였다.
