Abstract

In this study, sorption coefficients (${\log}K_{OC}$, n) for the binding of phenanthrene (PHE) to soil humins, insoluble fraction of soil humc substances (HS), were determined and relationship between the sorption coefficients and structural characteristics of the soil humins were investigated. The soil humins used in the present study were isolated from 7 different soils including 5 domestic soils, an IHSS standard and a peat soil, and characterized by elemental analysis and CPMAS $^{13}C$ NMR method. $^{13}C$ NMR spectral features indicate that the soil humins are mainly made up of aliphatic carbons (57.1~72.3% in total carbon) with high alkyl-C moiety, and the alkyl-C contents ($C_{Al-H,C}$, %) was in order of granite soil Hu (26~42%) > volcanic ash soil, HL Hu (23.9%) > Peat Hu (14.0%). The results of correlation study show that a positive relationship ($r^2$ = 0.77, p < 0.05) between organic carbon normalized-sorption coefficients ($K_{OC}$, mL/g) and alkyl-C contents($C_{Al-H,C}$, %), while negative relationship ($r^2$ = (-)0.74, p < 0.05) between Freundlich sorption parameter (n) and H,C-substituted aromatic carbon contents ($C_{Ar-H,C}$, %). The magnitude of $K_{OC}$ values are also negatively well correlated with polarity index (e.g., PI, N + O)/C) ($r^2$ = (-)0.74, p < 0.1). These results suggest that the binding capacity (e.g., $K_{OC}$) for PHE is increased in soil humin molecules having high contents of alkyl-C or lower polarity, and nonlinear sorption for PHE increased as the H,C-substituted aromatic carbon contents ($C_{Ar-H,C}$, %) in the soil humins increased. The PHE sorption characteristics on soil humins are discussed based on the dual reactive mode of sorption model.

본 연구에서는 불용성 토양 휴믹물질(HS)인 토양 휴민(Hu)을 대상으로 페난트린(PHE)과의 흡착상수($K_{OC}$, n)를 조사하였고, 각 휴민 분자의 물질특성과 흡착상수와의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 토양 휴민은 한라산 토양을 포함한 국내 5개 지역의 토양과 국제휴믹학회(IHSS) 표준토양 및 이탄토(Peat)에서 분리한 7종을 사용하였으며, 원소성분비 및 고체 $^{13}C$ NMR을 이용한 탄소형태별 분포(%) 등을 조사하였다. 토양 휴민은 알킬탄소를 주요 성분으로 하는 높은 지방족 탄소함량(57.1~72.3%)을 가진 분자구조 특성을 보였으며, 추출원별 알킬탄소의 함량($C_{Al-H,C}$, %)은 화강암 기원의 토양 Hu (26~42) > 화산재토양 기원의 HL Hu (23.9) > Peat Hu (14.0)의 순으로 나타났다. 토양 휴민의 물질특성과 PHE 흡착상수의 상관성 해석결과, 유기탄소 표준화분배계수($K_{OC}$, mL/g) 값은 알킬탄소 함량(%)과 높은 상관성($r^2$ = 0.77, p < 0.05)을 보인 반면, Freundlich plot을 통해 얻은 비선형 흡착상수(n)는 H,C-치환 방향족탄소 함량($C_{Ar-H,C}$, %)과 높은 상관성($r^2$ = (-)0.74, p < 0.05)을 보였다. $K_{OC}$ 값은 분자 극성도(PI, N+O)/C)와도 높은 상관성($r^2$ = (-)0.74, p < 0.1)을 보여, 분자극성도 값도 소수성유기물의 흡착능 예측에 유용한 물질특성 인자임을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 부터 토양휴민 분자 내 알킬탄소의 함량이 높거나, 분자극성도가 낮을수록 PHE의 흡착능이 증가하며, 방향족탄소 함량이 높을수록 흡착의 비선형성(nonlinear sorption)이 증가하는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 토양 휴민의 PHE 흡착특성은 dual reactive mode 흡착모델에 적용하여 해석하였다.
