This study was carried out in order to determine the remediation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs), trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) compounds for non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) using in-situ air sparging (IAS) / vapor extraction (VE) with the marine sediments of Mandol, Hajeon, Sangam and Busan, South Korea. Surface sediment of Mandol area had sand characteristics (average particle size, 1.789 Φ), and sandy silt characteristics (average particle size, 5.503 Φ), respectively. Sangam surface sediment had silt characteristics (average particle size, 5.835 Φ). Sediment characteristics before experiment in the Busan area showed clay characteristics (average particle size, 8.528 Φ). TPHs level in the B1 column of Mandol, Hajeon, Sangam, and Busan sediments were 2,459, 6,712, 4,348, and 14,279 ppm. B2 (3 L/ min) to B5 (5 L/min) columns reduced 99.5% to 100.0% of TCE and 93.2% to 100.0% of PCE. Removal rates of TCE, PCE, and BTEX are closely correlated (0.90-0.99) with particle sizes and organic carbon concentrations. However, TPHs (0.76) and benzene (0.71) showed the poorer but moderate correlations with the same parameters.Key words : in-situ air sparging, non-aqueous phase liquids, remediation, particle size, vapor extraction 이 연구는 공기주입법(in-situ air sparging; IAS)이 결합된 증기추출법(vapor extraction; VE)을 이용한 실내 실험 연구로 비수용성액체 유기물(non-aqueous phase liquids; NAPLs)의 총유류계탄화수소(total petroleum hydrocarbons; TPHs), 트리클로에틸렌(trichloroethylene; TCE), 퍼클로로에틸렌(perchloroethylene; PCE), 벤젠(benzene), 톨루엔
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
