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.

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.

In this study, column tests using relatively uniform Jumunjin sand media were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of calcium polysulfide (CaS_x, CPS) in removing high concentration of Zn²⁺ in groundwater. The injected CPS solution reacted rapidly with Zn²⁺ in artificial groundwater and effectively reduced Zn²⁺ by more than 99% through metal sulfide precipitation. Since the density (d = 1.27 g/cm³ ) of CPS solution was greater than that of water, CPS solution settled down rapidly while capturing Zn²⁺ and formed stable CPS layer similar to dense nonaqueous phase liquid. Mass balance analysis on Zn²⁺ in CPS solution suggested that CPS solution effectively reacted with Zn²⁺ to form metal sulfide precipitates except for high groundwater seepage velocity of 400 cm/d. With greater groundwater seepage velocity, injected CPS did not completely dissolve at the CPS-water interface, but a partially-misible CPS layer continuously moved and reacted with Zn²⁺+ in the direction of groundwater flow. Since hydraulic conductivity (K_h) decreased slightly due to the generated metal precipitates in the inter-pores of media, injection of CPS solution should be optimized to prevent clogging. As evidenced by both XRF and SEM/EDS results, ZnS precipitates were clearly observed through the reaction between the CPS solution and Zn²⁺. Further study is warranted to evaluate the feasibility of CPS to remove high-concentration heavy metalcontaminated groundwater in complex and heterogeneous media.
