The various pretreatment processes were evaluated for removal of oil pollutants with weathered oil contaminated seawater in a reverse osmosis desalination process. Weathered oil contaminated seawater was made by biodegradation and photooxidation with oil containing seawater. Coagulation, ultrafiltration, advanced oxidation processes and granular activated carbon filtration was used with pretreatment for dissolved organic carbon. Crude oil was removed but. weathered oil contaminated seawater was not removed by biodegradation and coagulation. DOC and E260 was removed with about 20 % and 40 % by membrane filter of cut off molecular weight 500. So, the most of dissolved organic carbon in weathered oil contaminated seawater was revealed that molecular weight was lower than 500. It is difficult to remove DOC in weathered oil contaminated seawater by advanced oxidation processes treatment, but, E260 was removed more high. However, DOC in weathered oil contaminated seawater was easily adsorbed to GAC. It is revealed that DOC was removed by adsorption.

본 연구는 MHD(Magnetohydrodynamics)방식의 전자기력을 이용하여 선박사고 등으로 인하여 해상에 유출된 기름을 분리하는 새로운 방법에 대한 설계 및 정식화를 이끌어 내었다. MHD분리방식은 최근에 연구되고 있는 자기파우더를 이용한 분리방식보다도 더욱 친환경적이고 분리가 용이하다는 강점을 가지고 있다. 여기서는 기름을 대신하여 고분자 입자를 넣은 해수를 가정하여 유체내의 전류, 자기장, 유속에 대한 분리율(분리측 입장의 질량/전 입자의 질량)을 수치시뮬레이션을 이용하여 그 특성을 검토하였다.

This study investigated the hydrocarbonoclastic microbial community present on weathered crude oil and their ability to degrade weathered oil in seawater obtained from the Gulf St. Vincent (SA, Australia). Examination of the native seawater communities capable of utilizing hydrocarbon as the sole carbon source identified a maximum recovery of just $6.6{\times}10^1\;CFU/ml$, with these values dramatically increased in the weathered oil, reaching $4.1{\times}10^4\;CFU/ml$. The weathered oil (dominated by > $C_{30}$ fractions; $750,000{\pm}150,000mg/l$) was subject to an 8 week laboratory-based degradation microcosm study. By day 56, the natural inoculums degraded the soluble hydrocarbons (initial concentrations $3,400{\pm}700mg/l$ and $1,700{\pm}340mg/l$ for the control and seawater, respectively) to below detectable levels, and biodegradation of the residual oil reached 62% ($254,000{\pm}40,000mg/l$) and 66% ($285,000{\pm}45,000mg/l$) in the control and seawater sources, respectively. In addition, the residual oil gas chromatogram profiles changed with the presence of short and intermediate hydrocarbon chains. 16S rDNA DGGE sequence analysis revealed species affiliated with the genera Roseobacter, Alteromonas, Yeosuana aromativorans, and Pseudomonas, renowned oil-degrading organisms previously thought to be associated with the environment where the oil contaminated rather than also being present in the contaminating oil. This study highlights the importance of microbiological techniques for isolation and characterisation, coupled with molecular techniques for identification, in understanding the role and function of native oil communities.

A series of short (8 hours) and long term (96 hours) exposure studies was conducted on a laboratory scale to evaluation (1) the threshold concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon in seawater which can lead to tainting problems in yellow tail (Seriola quinqueradiata) and (2) the time to recover (depuration period) once the tainting has occurred. The water-soluble fraction (WSF) of crude oil was prepared by stirring the oil with cold seawater. The main component of the WSF were low-boiling aromatics, although these were only al small proportion of the starting oil. From the sencory evaluation it was concluded that the threshold hydrocarbon levels in seawater which will impart a taint in yellow tail fillets within a 8-hour exposure period (short exposure period) are in the range of 0.4 to 1.0 ppm and within a 96-hour exposure period (long exposure period) are in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 ppm. Depuration trials were carried out with WSF from crude oil. The fish were exposed for 48 hours to concentration of 2.5 ppm hydrocarbons. After 48-hour exposure period, the fish were allowed to depurate in fresh, uncontaminated seawater. Depuration time for these fish was 10 days. The taste panelists were able to detect the contaminated fillets very easily while the depurated fish could not be distiguished from the control.

This study examined the capacity of immobilized bacteria to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons. A mixture of hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial strains was immobilized in alginate and incubated in crude oil-contaminated artificial seawater (ASW). Analysis of hydrocarbon residues following a 30-day incubation period demonstrated that the biodegradation capacity of the microorganisms was not compromised by the immobilization. Removal of n-alkanes was similar in immobilized cells and control cells. To test reusability, the immobilized bacteria were incubated for sequential increments of 30 days. No decline in biodegradation capacity of the immobilized consortium of bacterial cells was noted over its repeated use. We conclude that immobilized hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria represent a promising application in the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated areas.

Bioremediation technologies were applied to experimental microcosms, simulating an oil spill in a lower intertidal area. Three treatments (oil only, oil plus nutrients, and oil plus nutrients and microbial inocula) were applied, and each microcosm was repeatedly filled and eluted with seawater every 12 h to simulate tidal cycles. To minimize washing-out of the inoculum by the tidal cycles, microbial cells were primarily immobilized on diatomaceous earth before they were applied to the oiled sand. Oil degradation was monitored by gravimetric measurements, thin layer chromatography/flame ionization detector (TLC/FID) analysis, and gas chromatography (GC) analysis, and the loss of oil content was normalized to sand mass or nor-hopane. When the data were normalized to sand mass, no consistent differences were detected between nutrient-amended and nutrient/inoculum-amended microcosms, although both differed from the oil-only microcosm in respect of oil removal rate by a factor of 4 to 14. However, the data relative to nor-hopane showed a significant treatment difference between the nutrient-amended and nutrient/inoculum-treated microcosms, especially in the early phase of the treatment. The accelerating effect of inoculum treatment has hardly been reported in studies of oil bioremediation in the Tower intertidal area. The inoculum immobilized on diatomaceous earth seemed to be a very effective formulation for retaining microbial cells in association with the sand. Results of this study also suggest that interpretation of the effectiveness of bioremediation could be dependent on the selection of monitoring methods, and consequently the application of various analytical methods in combination could be a solution to overcome the limitations of oil bioremediation monitoring.

본 연구의 목표는 압축공기분사시스템을 이용하여 원유로 유출이 된 해안을 정화함에 있어서 그 정화효율성과 정화 전후의 총석유탄화수소(total petroleum hydrocarbon; TPH) 농도 및 미생물군집변화를 관찰함으로써 그 최적 정화과정을 이해하기 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 하는 것이다. 압축공기제트시스템을 2-5회 연속적용 시 오염지의 TPH가 약 66%까지 저감이 된 반면에 대조구인 해수를 펌핑한 경우에는 40% 정도의 저감효과가 관찰이 되었다. 압축공기의 분사 후 PCR-DGGE에 의한 미생물군집분석 결과에서는 유류분해미생물의 군집은 확인이 되지 않았다. 이는 정화에 의한 낮은 TPH 농도(약 100 mg/kg 수준, 탄소원), 처리환경에 내재적인 제한적인 질소 및 인의 농도에 기이한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 잔여분의 유류는 에어제트시스템을 적용시 제한적 영양염류(질소 및 인 등)를 적절한 방식과 농도로 투여할 경우 거의 완전하게 제거가 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 향후 본 기술은 고농도의 유류 및 유기물로 오염된 다양한 수질환경 및 토양환경의 효율적이고 환경친화적인 정화에 활용이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The various pretreatment processes were evaluated to remove organic pollutants of weathered oil contaminated seawater(WOCS) for reverse osmosis desalination process, Biodegradation, coagulation, ultrafiltration, advanced oxidation processes and granular activated carbon filtration were used to evaluate the potential of organic pollutants removal in WOCS. Dissolved Organic Carbon(DOC) was almost not removed by biodegradation in WOCS. DOC was removed by 25% and 10% with the addition of $FeCl_3$ and PAC in WOCS, respectively. The removal efficiency using ultrafiltration(WOCS 500) was about 20% of DOC and 40% of $E_{260}$, respectively. In AOP application of WOCS, the removal of organic materials was improved up to 60% by the combination of $UV/O_3$ compared to UV process. However, 98% of DOC in woes could be removed by granular activated carbon filtration. It is revealed that activated carbon filtration is the best process for the pretratment of DOC removal.

해수 내 유류계 방향족탄화수소인 BTEX(benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene)와 다환방향족탄화수소(polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: PAHs)를 동시에 분석할 수 있는 기술 개발을 위해 GC/MS에서 고체상미량추출법(solid phase microextraction: SPME)을 이용하여 최적의 분석기법을 정립하였다. SPME 기법은 전통의 분석 방법과 비교할 때 조작이 간단하고, 파이버를 재사용할 수 있고, 휴대하기 쉽고, 시료의 운반이나 저장하는 동안 오염을 최소화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 최적의 SPME 조건을 정립하기 위해 여러 변수 즉, SPME 수착제, 흡착 시간, 흡착 온도, 교반 속도, GC 탈착 시간들을 확인하였다. 다양한 SPME 수착제($100{\mu}m$ PDMS, $75{\mu}m$ CAR/PDMS, $65{\mu}m$ PDMS/DVB)를 이용하여 BTEX와 PAHs(분자량 78부터 202까지)를 동시에 분석한 결과 $65{\mu}m$ PDMS/DVB를 최적의 수착제로 선정하였다. 최적의 수착제로 $65{\mu}m$ PDMS/DVB 선정한 다음 순차적으로 다른 변수들을 확인하였다. 그 결과 BTEX와 PAHs 동시 분석하기 위한 최적의 SPMD 조건은 흡착시간 60분, 흡착온도 $50^{\circ}C$, 교반속도 750 rpm, GC 탈착시간 3분으로 결정되었다. 최적화한 HS-SPME-GC/MS 분석법을 이용하여 인공오염해수 내 유류계 방향족탄화수소 분석 결과 이전 연구 방법과 유사하였다. HP-SPME-GC/MS 분석법은 기존에 유기용매를 사용한 방법이 가졌던 단점과 제한점을 보완할 수 있으며, 해수 내 유류에 의한 BTEX 및 PAHs 분석에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 유류로 오염된 환경을 생물학적으로 정화하는 방법의 확립을 위하여 생물계면활성제를 생산하는 세균을 유류오염지역으로부터 분리한 후, 생물계면활성제의 생산에 미치는 각종 환경요인과 분리세균의 hydrocarbon 이용능 등을 조사하였다. 유류로 오염된 해수 및 토양시료로부터 crude oil을 기질로 하여 생물계면활성제를 생산하는 172개의 균주를 순수분리하였다. 이들중에서 표면장력 감소능이 가장 우수한 SW1을 공시균주로 선정한 후, 형태학적, 배양적 및 생화학적 제반 특성을 조사하여 그 분류학적 위치를 검토한 결과 Pseudomonas속으로 판명되어, 편의상 Pseudomonas sp. SW1로 명명하였다. 각종 탄소원을 이용하여 유화활성 및 표면장력 감소능을 조사한 결과, crude oil과 n-hexadecane에서 비슷한 유화활성 및 표면장력 감소능을 나타내었다. 생물계면활성제 생산을 위한 배지 및 배양조건은 n-hexadecane 2.0%, yeast extract 0.04%, $K_{2}HPO_4$ 0.02%$KH_2PO_4$ 0.03%, $MgSO_4$ center dot $7H_2O$ 0.04%, 30^{\circ}C.$ 및 pH 7.0이었다. 상기실험에서 결정된 조건하에서 공시균을 배양한 결과, 배양 2일 후인 정지기 초기에 생물계면활성제가 가장 많이 생산되었으며, 이때 minimum surface tension은 32mN/m이었다. 또한 본 공시균은 Bunker oils, n-alkanes, branched alkanes등을 기질로 하여 생육할 수 있었다.
