The impacts of membrane degradation due to chlorine attack on the rejection of inorganic salts and trace organic contaminants by nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were investigated in this study. The rejection of trace contaminants was examined at environmentally relevant concentrations. Changes in the membrane surface morphology were observed as a result of chlorine exposure. A small increase in rejection was consistently observed with all four membranes selected in this study after being exposed to a low concentration of hypochlorite (100 ppm). In contrast, a higher concentration of hypochlorite (i.e., 2000 ppm) could be detrimental to the membrane separation capacity. Membranes with severe chlorine impact showed a considerable decrease in rejection over filtration time, possibly due to rearrangement of the polyamide chains under the influence of chlorine degradation and filtration pressure. The reported results indicate that loose NF membranes are more sensitive to chlorine exposure than RO membranes. The impact of hypochlorite exposure (both positive and negative) on rejection is dependent on the strength of the hypochlorite solution and is more significant for the neutral carbamazepine compound than the negatively charged sulfamethoxazole.

In typical remediation practices, separate washing systems have to be applied to clean up the soils contaminated with both oil and heavy metals. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of successive two-stage soil washing in removal of mixed-contaminants from soil matrix. Two-stage soil washing experiments were conducted using different combinations of chemical agent: 1) persulfate oxidation, followed by organic acid washing, and 2) Fenton oxidation, followed by inorganic acid washing. Persulfate oxidation-organic acid washing efficiently removed both organic and inorganic contaminants to meet the regulatory soil quality standard. The average removal rates of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), Cu, Pb, and Zn were 88.9%, 82.2%, 77.5%, and 66.3% respectively, (S/L 1:10, reaction time 1 h, persulfate 0.5 M, persulfate:activator 3:1, citric acid 2 M). Fenton oxidation-inorganic acid washing also gave satisfactory performances to give 89%, 80.9%, 87.1%, and 67.7% removal of TPH, Cu, Pb, and Zn, respectively (S/L 1:10, reaction time 1 hr, hydrogen peroxide 0.3 M, hydrogen peroxide:activator 5:1, inorganic acid 1 M).

본 연구는 level I fugacity model을 이용하여 유류오염 토양에서 많이 존재하며 생태적 위해성이 큰 다섯가지 유기성오염물질 (anthracene, benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, 1-methylphenanthrene, phenanthrene) 이 기상, 액상, 고상 및 비수용성액체(NAPL)의 네 가지 상(phase)으로 구성된 biopile 내에서 어떻게 분포 하는가를 예측하기 위하여 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 영국 내에서 장기간 유류로 오염된 세 지역으로부터 토양 시료를 채취, 분석하였고 토양 분석 결과와 관련 인자를 level I fugacity model에 입력하여 fugacity 및 오염물질의 토양 중 분포를 구하였다. 다섯 오염물질의 fugacity 간에는 큰 차이가 있었으나 동일 오염물 질은 시료 간 fugacity에서 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 모든 오염물질은 NAPL과 고상에 주로 존재하였으며 토양시료간의 유기탄소함량 차이가 오염물질 의 분배 동태에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. benzene은 기상과 액상에 높은 농도로 존재함으로써 위해성에 근거한 기상과 액상 중 benzene 관리의 중요성을 나타내었다. 반면 다른 오염물질은 기상과 액상에 거의 존재하지않음을 보임으로써 지하수 오염 가능성을 현저하게 감소시켰다. 본 연구의 결과는 위해성이 큰 오염물질과 복원 처리를 토양 내 오염물질 잔류 농도 간에 관련이있음을 보였으며 또한 유류오염 토양의 위해성 평가과정에서 NAPL과 고상을 고려하는 일의 중요성도 나타내었다.

Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of pore water contamination on the treatment effect of sandy soil which was solidified by Portland cement. In the experiments, setting time of hydraulic cement that was mixed with contaminated mixing water was measured using Vicat equipment and observed the tendency of setting process with the kind of contaminants, organic or inorganic components. It was shown that organic contaminants of the mixing water affect largely on the initial setting process of hydraulic cement and inorganics, expecially heavy metals, did not affect on the initial setting process, otherwise it was appeared that setting time of the sandy soil that was contaminated with inorganic components was apparently faster than the sandy soil that did not include inorganic components even though organic concentrations was relatively low level (COD=200∼300) in the mixing water. The results of unconfined compression strength test (UCST) were well consistent with the results of Vicat equipment test.

The fate of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) in ground water is highly affected by the distribution and property of the carbonaceous materials (CMs) in subsurface sediments. CMs in soils consist of organic matters (e.g., cellulose, fulvic acid, humic acid, humin, etc.) and black carbon such as char, soot, etc. The distribution and property of CMs are governed by source materials and geological evolution (e.g., diagenesis, catagenesis, etc.) of them. In this study, the distribution and property of CMs in subsurface sediments near the Imjin river in the Republic of Korea and HOC sorption property to the subsurface sediments were investigated. The organic carbon contents of sand and clay/silt layers were about 0.35% and 1.37%, respectively. The carbon contents of condensed form of CMs were about 0.13% and 0.45%, respectively. The existence of black carbon was observed using scanning electron microscopes with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The specific surface areas (SSA) of CMs in heavy fraction(HFrCM) measured with N2 were $35-46m^2/g$. However, SSAs of those HFrCM mineral fraction was only $1.6-4.3m^2/g$. The results of thermogravimetric analysis show that the mass loss of HFrCM was significant at $50-200^{\circ}C$ and $350-600^{\circ}C$ due to the degradation of soft form and condensed form of CMs, respectively. The trichloroethylene (TCE) sorption capacities of sand and clay/silt layers were similar to each other, and these values were also similar to oxidzed layer of glacially deposited subsurface sediments of the Chanute Air Force Base (AFB) in Rantoul, Illinois. However, these were 7-8 times lower than TCE sorption capacity of reduced layer of the Chanute AFB sediments. For accurate prediction of the fate of hydrophobic organic contaminants in subsurface sediments, continuous studies on the development of characterization methods for CMs are required.

토양이나 지하환경에서 소수성 유기오염물질은 자연적으로 존재하는 휴믹물질과 오염된 토양을 세척하는데 사용되는 계면활성제에 의해 거동이 결정되어진다. 거대분자인 휴믹물질은 pseudomicelle을 형성하여 소수성 유기오염물질의 용해도를 증가시키고, 계면활성제 역시 CMC 이상의 농도에서 마이셀을 이루어 오염물질을 흡수하게 된다. 이 논문의 연구 목적은 소수성 유기오염물질로서 네 가지 PAHs와 p,p'-DDT를 사용하여 휴믹산과 세 가지 음이온성 계면활성제에 의한 용해도 증가를 비교해보고, 나아가서는 오염물질의 종류에 따라 어떠한 양상을 보이는지를 알아보는 것이다. 휴믹산에 의한 용해도 증가는 PAHs의 경우에서는 나프탈렌에서 퍼릴렌으로 갈수록 증가하지만 p,p'-DDT는 소수성이 가장 큼에도 불구하고 파이렌보다도 용해도 증가 정도가 낮았다. 음이온성 계면활성제의 경우, SDS 와 SDDBS에 의한 다섯 가지 소수성 유기오염물질의 용해도가 선형적으로 증가한 반면, 쌍둥이 머리(twin-head)를 가진 MADS-12에 의한 용해도 증가는 나프탈렌에서 퍼릴렌으로 갈수록 증가하였지만, p,p'-DDT의 용해도 증가 정도는 퍼릴렌 보다 약간 감소하였다.

In order to assess the level of contamination and identify the priority contaminants in the Busan coast, intensive sediment sampling was conducted and persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals were analyzed. The Sediment Quality Index (SQI) was derived based on the contaminant data by comparing with Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs) established in Korea, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand. Toxic contaminants were found to be widely distributed across the coast. Among organic contaminants, PAHs showed the highest concentration, followed by butyltins, nonylphenols, PBDEs, DDTs, PCBs, HCHs and CHLs. Heavy metals were also abundantly detected with the highest concentration of Zn followed by Cu > Cr > Pb > Ni > As > Cd > Hg. Compared to organic contaminants, most heavy metals, except for Cu and Hg, were homogeneously distributed along the coast in a good relationship with total organic carbon of sediment particles. In general, the concentrations of organic compounds and heavy metals were highest at the inner part of harbor areas with a tendency to decline from inside areas to the outside, indicating the high loading of pollutants from harbors. A high exceedance for low-SQGs and high-SQGs was found for TBT, p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD, Cu and Zn. The SQI scores calculated from low-SQGs and high-SQGs were in the range of 18-100 and 54-100, respectively. The inner part of Busan Harbor, Dadaepo Harbor, and Gamcheon Harbor were observed as being regions of concern. Overall, TBT, Cu, and p,p'-DDT were the chemicals most frequently exceeding SQGs and influencing SQI scores.

The UV/O$_{3}$ dry cleaning has been well known in removing organic molecules. The UV/O$_{3}$ dry cleaning method was performed to clean the Si wafer surfaces and contact holes contaminated by organic molecules such as residual PR. During the cleaning process, the Si surfaces were analyzed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscope (AFM) and ellipsometer. When the UV/O$_{3}$ dry cleaning at 200'C was performed for 3 minutes, the residual photoresist was almost removed on Si wafer surfaces, but Si surfaces were oxidized. For UV/O$_{3}$ application of contact hole cleaning, the contact string were formed using the equipment of ISRC (Inter-university Semiconductor Research Center). Before Al deposition, UV/O$_{3}$ (at 200.deg. C) dry cleaning was performed for 3 minutes. After metal annealing, the specific contact resistivity was measured. Because UV/O$_{3}$ dry cleaning removed organic contaminants in contact holes, the specific contact resistivity decreased. Each contact hole size was different, but the specific contact resistivities were all much the same. Thus, it is expected that the UV/O$_{3}$ dry cleaning method will be useful method of removal of the organic contaminants at smaller contact hole cleaning.

국보 제229호 창경궁 자격루 누기는 조선시대 과학기술의 정점을 보여주는 과학 문화재로서, 현재는 대·중·소 파수호(播水壺)와 수수호(受水壺)만 남아있다. 2018년부터 약 2년 여간 이루어진 자격루 누기의 전면적인 보존처리 과정에서, 표면에 발생한 오염물을 동정하고 이를 제거하기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 표면 오염물은 이전 보존처리와 조사 과정에서 사용된 스쿠알란(squalane)과 실리콘 오일(silicone oil)이 환경 요인에 노출되어 발생한 오염물로 확인되었다. 이에 따라 우선적으로 고려할 사항을 설정하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 이를 통해 오염물을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 방법을 알아보았다. 우선 유기용제와 습포제를 이용한 실험에서는 톨루엔과 벤토나이트를 적용했을 때 가장 큰 색차 변화폭(𝚫E)을 나타내는 등 뛰어난 반응성이 확인되었다. 그러나 이에 수반되는 유기용제의 유해성과 습포제로 인한 2차 오염 발생 가능성 또한 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 보존처리자의 안전과 작업 환경 및 작업 용이성을 우선적으로 고려한 실험에서는 유기용제에 비해 반응성이 미비하고 비교적 많은 시간과 인력이 요구되었으나, 회차가 거듭될수록 색차 변화폭(𝚫E)의 정도가 유기용제 실험 결과와 동일한 범주 내까지 도달하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 계면활성제를 활용한 방법이 오염물 제거에 가장 효과적인 것으로 확인되었다.

The complex combination of organic contaminants in the wastewater made water treatment challenging; hence, organic matter in water bodies is usually measured in terms of organic carbon. Since it is important to identify the types of compounds when deciding suitable treatment methods, this study implemented a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the organic matter content in an actual graywater sample from Ulsan, Republic of Korea using mass spectroscopy (MS). The graywater was treated using adsorption to remove the organic contaminants. Using orbitrap MS, the organic matter content between an untreated graywater and the treated effluent were compared which yielded a significant formula count difference for the samples. It was revealed that CHON formula has the highest removal count. Isotherm studies found that the Freundlich equation was the best fit with a coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of 0.9705 indicating a heterogenous GAC surface with a multilayer characteristic. Kinetics experiments fit the pseudo-second order equation with an $R^2$ of 0.9998 implying that chemisorption is the rate-determining step between the organic compounds and GAC at rate constant of $52.53g/mg{\cdot}h$. At low temperatures, the reaction between GAC and organic compounds were found to be spontaneous and exothermic. The conditions for optimization were set to achieve a maximum DOC and TN removal which yielded removal percentages of 94.59% and 80.75% for the DOC and TN, respectively. The optimum parameter values are the following: pH 6.3, 2.46 g of GAC for every 30 mL of graywater sample, 23.39 hrs contact time and $38.6^{\circ}C$.
