Quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) has long been considered to improve our understanding of soil productivity, soil carbon dynamics, and soil quality. And also SOC could contribute as a major soil management factor for prescribing fertilizers and controlling of soil erosion and runoff. Reducing tillage intensity has been recommended to sequester SOC into soil. On the other hand, determination of traditional SOC could barely identify the tillage practices effect. Physical soil fractionation has been reported to improve interpretation of soil tillage practices impact on SOC dynamics. However, most of these researches were focused onupland soils and few researches were conducted on paddy soils. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate paddy soil tillage impact on SOC by physical soil fractionation. Soils were sampled in conventional-tillage (CT), partial-tillage (PT), no-tillage (NT), and shallow-tillage (ST)plots at the National Institute of Crop Science research farm. Samples were obtained at the three sampling depth with 7.5-cm increment from the surface and were sieved with 0.25- and 0.053-mm screen. Soil organic carbon was determined by wet combustion method. Significant difference of SOC contentwas found among sampling soil depth and soil particle size. SOC content tended to increase at the ST plot with increasing size of soil particle fraction. We conclude that quantifying soil organic carbon by physical soil particle fractionation could improve understanding of SOC dynamics by soil tillage practices.

This study evaluated the feasibility of combined use of physical separation and soil washing to remediate heavy metals (Pb and Cu) contaminated soil in a military shooting range. The soils were classified into two types based on the level of heavy metal concentrations: a higher contaminated soil (HCS) with Pb and Cu concentrations of 6,243 mg/kg and 407 mg/kg, respectively, and a lower contaminated soil (LCS) with their concentrations of 1,658 mg/kg and 232 mg/kg. Pb level in both soils exceeded the regulatory limit (700 mg/kg), and its concentration generally increased with decreasing soil particle size. However, in some cases, Pb concentrations increased with increasing soil particle size, presumably due to the presence of residues of bullets in the soil matrix. As a pretreatment step, a shaking table was used for physical separation of soil to remove bullet residues while fractionating the contaminated soils into different sizes. The most effective separation and fractionation were achieved at vibration velocity of 296 rpm/min, the table slope of 7.0°, and the separating water flow rate of 23 L/min. The efficiency of ensuing soil washing process for LCS was maximized by using 0.5% HCl with the soil:washing solution mixing ratio of 1:3 for 1 hr treatment. On the contrary, HCS was most effectively remediated by using 1.0% HCl with the same soil:solution mixing ratio for 3 hr. This work demonstrated that the combined use of physical separation and soil washing could be a viable option to remediate soils highly contaminated with heavy metals.

흐름 장-흐름 분획법을 개선한 방식의 흐름 장-흐름 분획장치를 이용하여 아주 적은 농도의 입자를 포함하는 지하수의 실험이 가능하였다. 또한 침강 장-흐름 분획법을 조합하여 상대적으로 크기가 큰 입자들을 분리함으로써 보다 넓은 영역의 입자들을 분리 및 분석할 수 있었다. 이렇게 장-흐름 분획법을 이용한 환경적인 측면의 연구의 가능성을 확인하였다. 각 시료의 크기 별 분포를 비교하고 크기별 분리를 확인하고자 광학 현미경을 사용하였다. 실험의 결과들은 입자크기분포를 결정하기 위한 가능성을 보여주었다. 다양한 분석 기술들의 조합으로 인해 그 효율성이 매우 증대할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 본 연구를 통하여 입자 크기별 분리를 위한 장-흐름 분획법의 응용 가능성을 충분히 확인할 수 있었다. 앞으로 더욱 세밀한 실험과 시스템의 최적화에 노력을 기울인다면 흐름 장-흐름 분획법의 여러 부수 기술들을 조합하여 자연수 내의 입자들을 분리하고 분석할 수 있는 표준분석방법을 개발하고 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
