Abstract
The feasibility of electrokinetic remediation was investigated in the laboratory to treat contaminated soil with Zn, Ni and F. Electro-migration and electro-osmosis are the major removal mechanisms because fluorines desorbed from soil exist as an anionic form in soil pores, and Zn and Ni exist as a cationic form. Desorption of fluorine was enhanced under the alkaline condition, but that of Zn and Ni increased under the acidic condition. Sequential pH control was effective to control the mixed wastes from contaminated soil. 2 V/cm was applied to reactor to evaluate the effect of constant voltage gradient, after two weeks, the removal efficiency of Zn, Ni and F was 20.5%, 2.5% and 57.4%, respectively. Even though the removal of Zn and Ni was very low, the pH control enhanced transport of Zn and Ni significantly. As a result, sequential pH control is a effective method to remediate mixed waste-contaminated soil.

Zn, Ni 및 불소로 복합 오염된 토양의 정화를 위해서 동전기 정화(Electrokinetic remediation)기술을 적용하였다. 토양에서 탈착된 불소는 음이온 형태이고, Zn, Ni은 양이온으로 존재하기 때문에 간극수가 이동하는 전기삼투(electro-osmosis)와 이온이 이동하는 전기이동(electro-migration)의 두 가지 기작에 의해 제거되는 경향이 달랐다. 불소는 알칼리 조건에서 토양으로부터의 탈착이 증가하고, Zn과 Ni은 산성조건에서 탈착이 증가된다. 두 가지 탈착 특성이 다른 오염물질을 순차적 pH조절을 통해 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었다. 정전압 하에서의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 2V/cm를 적용하여으며, 2주간의 실험을 통해 Zn은 20.5%, Ni은 2.5%, 불소는 57.4% 제거되었다. Zn과 Ni의 제거율은 낮았으나 토양 ph조절을 통해 이동 가능함을 확인하였다. 토양 pH조절을 통하여 특성이 다른 복합오염물질을 동전기 정화 기술로 제거할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
