Transport of heavy metals such as Cd is affected by several rate-limiting processes including adsorption and desorption by exchange reactions in soils. In this study, column transport and batch kinetic experiments were performed to assess Cd mobility in a double-layered soil with a reclaimed saline and sodic soil (SSS) as top soil and macroporous granule (MPG) as a bottom layer. For individual soil layer having different physical and chemical properties, Cd was considered to be nonlinear reactivity with the soil matrix in layered soils. The dispersive equation for reactive solutes was solved with three types of boundary conditions for the interface between soil layers. The adsorption of Cd with respect to the saline-sodic sandy loam and the MPG indicated that the nature of the sites or the mechanisms involved in the sorption process of Cd was different and the amounts of Cd for both of samples increases with increasing amounts of equilibrium concentration whereas the amount of Cd adsorbed in saline-sodic sandy loam soil was higher than that in MPG. The results of breakthrough curve indicating relative Cd retardation accompanied by layer material and sequence during leaching showed that the number of pore volumes to reach the maximum relative concentration of 1 increased in the order of MPG, SSS, and double layer of SSS-MPG. Breakthrough curves (BTCs) from column experiments were well predicted with our double-layered model where independently derived solute physical and retention parameters were implemented.

It is important to understand the interrelationship between adsorption, equilibrium and mass transport in efficient design and operation of the granular activated carbon(GAC) adsorption systems. In this study, the micro-diameter-depth adsorption system(MIDDAS) technique was developed to estimate equilibrium and mass transport parameters, which were utilized to simulate adsorption and mass transport phenomena dynamically and mathematically. The homogeneous surface diffusion model(HSDM) utilizing the estimated equilibrium and mass transport parameters including the film transfer coefficients and surface diffusivities from the MIDDAS technique, successfully predicted competitive adsorption, desorption and chromatographic displacement effects. In the binary solute system of p-chlorophenol(PCP) and p-nitrophenol(PNP), PCP was displaced by PNP and the HSDM could predict successfully. While the HSDM described the desorption breakthrough curves for PCP, PNP and PTS well when complete reversible adsorption was assumed, the desorption breakthrough curves for DBS could be predicted after subsequent incorporation of the degree of irreversibility into the model simulations.

자연하천에서 오염물질의 혼합 거동은 비균일한 지형학적 요인으로 인해 매우 복잡한 특성을 나타낸다. 일반적으로 오염물질 거동 모델링에서는 수체에서의 혼합을 Fick의 법칙에 따라 유속에 의한 이송과 난류에 의한 확산으로 계산하고, 국부적인 정체현상 등에 의한 non-Fickian 혼합을 야기하는 하천의 특성을 기하학적 지형 형상으로 구현하여 실제 현상에 근접한 혼합 거동을 재현한다. 하지만 계산의 효율성을 위하여 모델링의 차원을 낮추는 경우, 하천의 지형을 경계조건으로 고려할 수 없게 된다. 특히, 1차원 모델링의 경우 하천의 비균일성을 무시하고 1개의 유선으로 간주하며, 이 경우 non-Fickian 물질이동 해석을 위한 추가적인 현상학적 해석이 필요하다. 지난 50년간, non-Fickian 물질이동 해석을 위한 다양한 현상학적 모형이 제시되어 왔다. 하천을 흐름영역과 정체영역으로 구분하고 두 개의 영역 사이의 물질교환 속도를 모델링하거나, Random walk 개념으로 물질이 이동하는 경우와 이동하지 않는 경우를 확률론적으로 모델링하거나, 물질이 정체되었을 때 다시 빠져나오는 시간을 모델링하는 경우가 그 예이다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 제시한 음함수 형태의 현상학적 모형을 기반으로, 수치적 반복계산 없이 상류 경계에서 임의의 형태의 농도곡선(shape-free breakthrough curve)을 갖는 오염물질운(cloud)이 일정 거리를 유하하며 발생하는 변화를 예측할 수 있는 해를 제시한다. 본 연구의 방법론은 추적법(routing procedure)을 활용한 Fickian 혼합 해석, 전달함수(transfer function) 형태의 정체시간분포 해석, 그리고 라플라스 도메인에서의 해석해 유도를 포함한다. 본 연구에서 제시된 해는 2020년 경상북도 김천시에 위치한 감천의 4.5 km 구간에서 수행한 추적자 실험의 현장 자료를 통해 정확도를 검증하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

Since the first introduction of one-dimensional transient storage modeling in the field of solute transport analysis in rivers, its application has notably expanded for various purposes, including for hydrology and geobiology over the past few decades. Despite strides in refining transient storage models, there remain unresolved challenges in simplifying complex river transport dynamics into concise formulas and a limited set of parameters. This review paper is dedicated to cataloging and assessing existing transient storage models, outlining the difficulties associated with model structures, parameters, and data, and suggesting directions for future research. We seek to enhance understanding of transient storage by highlighting the importance of continuously evaluating residence time distribution modeling, integrating hydrodynamic models, and using data with minimal assumptions. This paper would contribute to advance our comprehension of the transient storage process, offering insights into sophisticated modeling techniques, pinpointing uncertainty in parameters, and suggesting the necessary avenues for further study.
