Abstract

Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) has been extensively used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the vadoze zone. In order to investigate the removal mechanism during SVE operation, laboratory modeling experiments were carried out and tailing effect could be observed in later stage of the experiment. Tailing effect means that removal rate of contaminants gets significantly to decrease in later stage of SVE operation. Also, mathematical model simulating the tailing effect was used, which considers rate-limited diffusion in a water film during mass transfer among gas, liquid, and solid phases. Measurement data obtained through the experiment was used as input data of the numerical analyses. Sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the effect of each parameter on required time to reach final target concentration. Finally, it was found that the concentration in the soil phase decreased significantly with a liquid and gas diffusion coefficient larger, actual path length shorter, and water saturation smaller.

SVE 공법은 휘발성 유기물로 오염된 불포화대의 정화 공법으로 널리 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 SVE 적용시 오염물 제거 기작을 관찰하기 위해 모형조 시험을 수행하였으며, 이로부터 SVE의 주요 특징인 tailing 현상, 즉 후반부로 갈수록 제거 속도가 급격히 느려지는 꼬리 효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 액상 막에서의 확산 제약 현상을 고려할 수 있는 수치 모델을 적용하였으며, 모형조 시험 결과와 구축된 수치 모델링을 통해 SVE의 전형적인 특징이 꼬리 현상을 적절하게 모사할 수 있었다. 또한 4가지 변수에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하여, 총토양농도의 백분율은 액상확산계수가 클수록, 가스상 확산계수가 클수록, 실제확산경로가 짧을수록, 물포화도가 작을수록 빠르게 감소함을 확인하였다.
