Abstract

Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRBs) using zero valent iron (ZVI, $Fe^0$) is a promising technology for in-situ remediation of trichloroethylene (TCE) forming dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL). The objective of this study is to develop an enhanced treatment method of trichloroethylene-contaminated groundwater using ZVI packed bed with direct current (D.C.). A column experiment was performed to investigate degradation efficiency of TCE that was performed in three different combination of control (only sand), ZVI column (ZVI:sand, packing ratio 1:2(v/v)) and bipolar column (ZVI:sand=1:2(v/v) with electric current) in the test columns. As the results of this study, the degradation efficiency of TCE was improved with simultaneous application of both bipolar column compared to that used ZVI column. Because ZVI particles are isolated and individual particles act like small electrodes. In this experiment, it was indicated a basic material for application of bipolar packed bed as electro-PRBs that was effective degradation of TCE.

영가철을 이용한 투수성 반응벽체는 지하수를 처리하는 원위치정화기술로 국내외적으로 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 영가철을 이용한 투수성 반응벽에 직류전원을 공급하여 효율이 향상된 TCE 처리기술 개발을 목적으로 하였다. 주문진규사로만 충진한 컨트롤컬럼, 영가철과 주문진규사로 충진한 영가철컬럼(영가철:주문진규사 = 1:2(v/v)) 그리고 영가철 컬럼에 직류전원을 공급한 복극전기분해컬럼, 이 세 컬럼의 운전을 통해 TCE 분해효율을 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 영가철를 충진하고 직류전원을 공급한 복극전기분해컬럼이 영가철만을 사용한 컬럼에 비해 높은 TCE의 환원효율을 나타내었다. 이는 영가철 입자가 미세전극으로 작용하여 전자의 이동을 촉진시킨 것에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 따라서 영가철이 반응매질로서의 역할만 할 때보다 반응매질의 역할과 동시에 전극으로서 작용했을 때, TCE 분해효율이 더 높게 나타났음을 알 수 있었다.
