Abstract
Soil washing by surfactants is a technology to enhance mobilization and subsequent degradation of oil pollutants by reducing the surface tension of pollutants which is combined with soil. In this study, biosurfactant, rhamnolipid was produced from Pseudomonas aemginosa ATCC 9027 which had an excellent biodegradable activity in soil without causing secondary pollution. Effects of chemical surfactants on the removal of diesel from diesel-contaminated soil were compared to those of biosurfactants including rhamnolipid. Diesel removal efficiency by rhamnolipid extracted from P. aeruginosa culture broth was over 95% in both batch and column washing test in 5,000ppm diesel-contaminated soil with 1% surfactants after washing for 24 hours. On the contrary, the results of chemical surfactants were below 50∼80%, The chemical surfactants with HLB value(8∼15) showed more then 75% efficiency of diesel removal. But, when the HLB values were below 8 or over 15. their efficiency were observed as less then 60% of diesel removal. Rhamnolipid, biologically produced surfactants, may also be promising agent for enhancing diesel removal from contaminated soil.

본 연구에서는 토양에 오염된 디이젤 성분을 제거하기 위한 토양세척 기술 중에서 적절한 계면활성제를 사용하여 토양입자에 결합되어 있는 유해 유기물질의 표면장력을 약화시켜 제거하는 기술을 이용하기 위해 생분해성이 우수하고 2차 오염문제가 없는 생물계면활성제를 생산하였다. Peudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027를 이용하여 생산된 생물계면활성제인 rhamnolipid와 기존에 사용되고 있는 화학계면활성제와의 디이젤 세척효능을 비교분석하였다. 회분식, 연속식 세척실험 결과 디이젤 오염토양 초기농도 5,000ppm에서 계면활성제 1%, 세척시간 24시간 경과 후 본 연구에서 생산된 rhamnolipid의 세척효율이 모두 약 95%로 사용된 계면활성제 중에서 가장 우수한 세척효율을 보였다. 화학계면활성제들은 대부분 50∼80% 미만의 세척효율을 나타내었으며, HLB값이 8에서 15사이에서의 화학계면활성제의 경우 75%이상의 분해효율을 나타내었다. 그러나, HLB값이 8이하이거나 15이상에서는 60%이하의 낮은 디이젤 분해효율을 나타내었다.
