The Effect of Organic Matter and Lime Treatment on Trichloroethylene Adsorption by Soil

유기물과 석회 처리 수준이 토양의 Trichloroethylene 흡착에 미치는 영향

Trichloroethylene(TCE) is the organic compound which is used variously at the industrial areas. It contaminates soils and groundwater by leaked storage tank, careless treatment in field and the effluent from waste landfills. This study was carried out to identify adsorptive behavior of TCE by soil. Batch experiments were conducted at different soil-organic matter content and lime treatment to determine Freundlich isothermal adsorption equation constant, k and n, for TCE. Sewage sludge cake was applied to make different soil-organic matter content with the level of Oton/ha(S1), 50ton/ha(S2), 100ton/ha(S3). Lime(calcium hydroxide) was treated with the level of 2ton/ha, 4ton/ha, 6ton/ha, 10ton/ha. Freundlich isothermal adsorption equations obtained from experiment with sewage sludge cake were as follows (on condition that the level of TCE applied to soil ranged from 0.5ng/g soil to 2.5 ng/g soil.) : S1 :x/m = 0.393 $C^2$, S2 : x/m = 0.436 $C^2$, S3 : x/m = 0.636 $C^2$Value of k was increased in higher order of 51, 52, 53 with increased level of sewage sludge cake application. From this results, soil which was applied higher level of sewage sludge cake had a good ability on TCE adsorption. With increased the level of lime application, pH of the soil was increased and the ability of the soil in TCE adsorption was decreased.

본 실험은 산업 현장에서 광범위하게 사용하고 있는 유기용제인 Trichloroethylene (TCE)이 저장탱크누출, 작업장에서의 취급 부주의, 매립지 침출수 유출 등을 통해 토양과 지하수를 오염시킬 우려가 있는 물질이므로 토양내에서의 TCE의 흡착성향을 파악하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 이를위해 토양의 유기물 함량과 석회 시용량을 달리하여 TCE에 대한 Freundlich 등온흡착식 상수 k와 n을 결정하였다. 유기물함량은 sewage sludge cake을 0ton/ha, 50ton/ha, 100ton/ha 수준으로 처리하고 S1, S2, S3라 명명하였다. 석회는 2ton/ha, 4ton/ha, 6ton/ha, 10ton/ha. 수준으로 처리하였다. sewage sludge cake을 수준별로 처리한 실험에서 구한 Freundlich 등온흡착식은 다음과 같다. (단, TCE 처리 농도범위가 0.5~2.5ng/g soil 일 경우임) S1 : x/m = 0.393 $C^2$, S2 : x/m = 0.436 $C^2$, S3 : x/m = 0.636 $C^2$위 식에서 보듯이 k값이 sewage sludge cake 처리수준이 증가할수록 0.393, 0.436, 0.636으로 증가하므로 TCE 처리농도가 같다면 sewage sludge cake 처리수준이 높은 토양일수록 TCE에 대한 흡착효율이 좋았다. 반면 석회시용 수준이 증가할수록 토양의 pH는 증가하였고 TCE 흡착능력은 감소하였다.
