Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for purifying oil contaminated soil,

And a method for purifying oil contaminated soil.

At present, pollution accidents due to oil pollutants such as BTEX, diesel and gasoline are frequently occurring in the surrounding areas such as gas stations, gas stations and oil pipelines. As the large-scale soil pollution purification project to treat these oil pollutants proceeds, technology and experience are accumulating. These oil contaminated soils can be treated through various treatment methods such as biological treatment, physical treatment and chemical treatment, and appropriate treatment methods are selected according to the polluted site conditions and the characteristics of pollutants.

The biological treatment method is a treatment technique using microbial metabolism, which is advantageous in cost, but requires a long treatment period, generates byproducts, and is difficult to apply to highly contaminated areas.

Physical treatment techniques, such as thermal desorption and soil vapor extraction (SVE), have the disadvantage that they are not removed from the soil and are not fundamentally treated. In addition, only the volatile organic compound can be removed by the soil vapor extraction method. That is, although the gasoline form is easy to remove, it is difficult to remove the diesel, the high molecular weight and the low volatility. Furthermore, since the air is removed by artificially flowing it, it is almost impossible to treat it in the case of clay, which is a soil in which air can not flow well.

In this case, a soil washing method of extracting oil components can be used by reducing the surface energy of the soil particles by using a solvent, an acid, and an alkaline surfactant. In this method, a surfactant, an organic solvent, an acidic or alkaline solution is mixed with a soil to be desorbed into a soil and brought into an aqueous solution by removing a contaminant which has been adsorbed on a solid phase by a cleaning agent. However, the soil washing method has a disadvantage in that the washing efficiency is lowered at a certain concentration or less and the complete treatment is impossible. In addition, since all of the input materials can not be recovered, secondary contamination due to residue of the input may be caused, or after-treatment may occur due to bubbles of groundwater caused by the surfactant. In addition, when a large amount of acidic or alkaline solution is injected all over the pH buffering capacity of the soil, the soil becomes excessively acidified and basicized, which inhibits the growth of local indigenous microorganisms, which may hinder long-term natural reduction.

The present invention provides a method for purifying oil contaminated soil, which does not cause the occurrence of a clogging phenomenon that may occur when eluting oil from contaminated soil using an alkaline substance, and which can maintain the purification action for a long period of time.

One embodiment of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a water-proofing material, comprising the steps of: providing a water-permeable wall containing steel byproducts containing an alkaline substance in the ground; Passing the groundwater through the permeable wall; Passing the ground water having passed through the water-permeable wall to the oil contaminated soil so as to elute the oil from the oil contaminated soil to the ground water; And extracting the ground water having passed through the oil contaminated soil on a ground surface.

The content of the alkaline substance contained in the steel by-product may be 20 wt% or more based on 100 wt% of the total amount of the steel by-products.

The alkali substance contained in the steel by-product may include MgO or CaO.

The content of the steel byproducts contained in the permeable wall is determined by passing the groundwater passing through the permeable wall through the oil contaminated soil so as to elute the oil from the oil contaminated soil to the ground water, May be 10 parts by weight or more.

The method for purifying oil contaminated soil comprises the steps of: providing a permeable wall containing iron byproducts containing an alkaline substance in the ground; The step of installing the water wall so as to be parallel with the ground water flow in advance.

Passing the groundwater through the water-permeable wall; and adjusting the pH of the groundwater to 9 or more and 12 or less.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a water treatment system, comprising the steps of: installing a water permeable wall containing steel byproducts containing an alkaline substance in the ground; Passing the groundwater through the permeable wall; Injecting an oxidant into groundwater passing through the water-permeable wall; And a step of purifying the oil contaminated soil by passing the ground water injected with the oxidizer through the oil contaminated soil.

The alkali substance contained in the steel by-product may include MgO or CaO.

The content of the iron-based by-products contained in the water-permeable wall may be adjusted by passing the groundwater through the oil contaminated soil to purify the oil contaminated soil, wherein the oil contaminated soil is at least 10 parts by weight Lt; / RTI >

The step of injecting the oxidizing agent into the groundwater having passed through the water-permeable wall may include injecting the oxidizing agent so that the concentration of the oxidizing agent in the groundwater is more than 2 g / L and less than 10 g / L.

In the step of injecting the oxidizing agent into the groundwater passing through the water-permeable wall, the oxidizing agent may be activated by the alkaline substance in the groundwater.

The activation of the oxidizing agent by the alkaline substance may include a radical generating reaction by a reaction between a base and an oxidizing agent.

The oxidizing agent in the step of injecting the oxidizing agent into the groundwater passing through the water-permeable wall may be peroxide.

Wherein the oxidizing agent in the step of injecting the oxidizing agent into the groundwater passing through the water permeable wall is selected from the group consisting of sodium persulfate (Na ₂ S ₂ O ₈ ) hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ), potassium permanganate KMnO ₄ ), ozone (O ₃ ), or a mixture thereof.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for purifying oil-contaminated soil, which is free from the occurrence of a clogging phenomenon that may occur in the elution of oil from oil-contaminated soil using an alkaline substance, and which can maintain the purification action for a long period of time do.

1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a method for purifying oil contaminated soil according to an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a method for purifying oil contaminated soil according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention is only defined by the scope of the following claims.

Providing a permeable wall containing iron byproducts containing an alkaline substance in the ground; The step of installing the water wall so as to be parallel with the ground water flow in advance. This can prevent the oil from diffusing into other soils in oil contaminated soils.

When the alkaline is injected into the soil, the charge of the soil particles is changed and the oil is eluted into the groundwater. In addition, the saponification reaction occurs between a part of the oil and the alkali, and the surfactant is generated, so that the elution of the oil becomes easier and the oil eluted into the groundwater is prevented from re-adsorption to the soil. By using the CaO and MgO components of the iron by-product, oil components can be extracted from the oil contaminated soil, and an underground purification method using this can be constructed.

Specifically, steel byproducts such as dust and sludge contain a large amount of CaO and MgO, and when contacted with water, they become basic as shown in the following Formulas 1 to 3 according to their compositions.

[Equation _{1] Rakinaite Ca 3 Si 2 O} 7 + 7H 2 O → 3Ca 2+ + 2H 4 SiO 4 + 6OH -

[Formula 2] Larnite Ca ₂ SiO ₄ + 4H ₂ O → 2Ca ²⁺ + H ₄ SiO ₄ + 4OH ^-

[Formula 3] Akermanite Ca ₂ MgSi ₂ O ₇ + 7H ₂ O → 2Ca ²⁺ + Mg ²⁺ + 2H ₄ SiO ₄ + 6OH ^-

Therefore, when the permeable wall containing the steel byproducts is installed upstream of the groundwater flow, the groundwater reacts with the byproducts of the steel through the permeable wall to become basic.

Then, when the basic groundwater comes into contact with the soil contaminated with the oil, the charge of the soil particles changes and the oil elutes into the groundwater.

The soil can be purified by extracting the groundwater from which the oil is eluted through an extraction well installed in the groundwater flow downstream. Additionally, the oil in the extracted groundwater can be purified at the top of the ground by various purification methods and injected back into the ground.

In general, when alkaline is injected into the soil through a separate injection conduit for alkali extraction of oil in oil polluted soil, salts (Ca (OH) ₂ , Mg (OH) ₂ ) An increase in total suspended solids (TSS) may result in injection obstruction. Such a closure phenomenon may prevent the injection of the drug through the injection well.

However, if a water permeable wall containing steel byproducts including MgO or CaO is installed in the ground as in the embodiment of the present invention, the alkali can be supplied to the ground without injecting water.

In addition, it is advantageous in that the purification action can be maintained for a long period of time because the alkali is slowly released from the buried steel by-products rather than by injecting chemicals into the ground.

The content of the alkaline substance contained in the steel by-product may be 20 wt% or more based on 100 wt% of the total amount of the steel by-products. When the alkaline content in the steel by-product satisfies the above-described range, the pH of the groundwater passing through the permeable wall can be adjusted to a sufficient degree to elute the oil from the oil contaminated soil.

More specifically, not less than 20% by weight, and not more than 90% by weight; 20 wt% or more, and 80 wt% or less; 20% or more, and 70% or less by weight; 20 wt% or more, and 60 wt% or less. The alkali substance contained in the steel by-product may include MgO or CaO.

The content of the steel byproducts contained in the permeable wall is determined by passing the groundwater passing through the permeable wall through the oil contaminated soil so as to elute the oil from the oil contaminated soil to the ground water, May be 10 parts by weight or more. More specifically, not less than 10 parts by weight, and not more than 300 parts by weight; 10 parts by weight or more, and 250 parts by weight or less; 10 parts by weight or more, and 200 parts by weight or less; Lt; / RTI > If the content of the steel byproducts of the permeable wall is too large, hydroxide may precipitate in the pores of the permeable wall, resulting in a problem that the flow of groundwater is not smooth. If the content of the steel byproducts in the permeable wall is too small, there is a problem that the extraction efficiency of the oil is lowered because the pH is not sufficiently increased.

Passing the groundwater through the water-permeable wall; and adjusting the pH of the groundwater to 9 or more and 12 or less. MgO, CaO, etc. of the steel by-products meet groundwater and OH ^- ions are generated, and the groundwater becomes basic as described above. Thereafter, when the groundwater flows into the oil-contaminated soil, the oil in the oil-contaminated soil may be discharged into the groundwater to purify the soil.

Hereinafter, an exemplary method for purifying oil contaminated soil according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

If oil pollution (4) is present in the basement, the water wall (3) parallel to the groundwater flow (1) is installed to prevent the spread of oil, then tap water is applied to the ground water upstream of the contaminated area, (2). As the groundwater moves from upstream to the day, it passes through the permeable wall made of steel byproducts so that the pH in the groundwater rises to 9 or more and 12 or less. Thereafter, the groundwater containing the oil is extracted through the extraction pipe (6) installed at the downstream of the groundwater to purify the soil.

As described above, it is possible to perform the in-situ purification of the oil contaminated soil by injecting the oxidizing agent into the ground water passing through the permeable wall and having alkali. Specifically, when the groundwater comes into contact with the oil contaminated soil, the oil is eluted into the groundwater as described above by the alkali in the groundwater, and the eluted oil can be oxidized by the oxidant.

The oxidizing agent is a peroxide such as sodium persulfate (Na ₂ S ₂ O ₈ ), hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ), potassium permanganate (KMnO ₄ ), ozone (O ₃ ) .

The injection of the oxidizing agent may be such that the oxidizing agent is injected such that the concentration of the oxidizing agent in the groundwater is more than 2 g / L and less than 10 g / L. More concretely, 3 g / L or more and 10 g / L or less; 3 g / L or more, and 7 g / L or less; Or 3 g / L or more, and 5 g / L or less; If too much oxidant is added, the pH of the groundwater will be lowered and the elution of oil components into the groundwater may be insignificant. When the oxidizing agent is injected too little, the decomposition effect of the oil component may be insignificant.

These peroxides can be activated by alkaline components in the groundwater to form radicals. As a specific example, the persulfate oxidation technique is a technique for treating various organic and inorganic materials by generating persulfate anion (2S ₂ O ₈ ² ^- ). The persulfate anion has a high solubility in water and can be applied to a wide pH range. And the value of the sulfate anion half-cell redox potential (half-cell oxidation reduction potential, E 0) of the to 2.01 V, the ozone (E ⁰ = 2.07 V) and hydrogen peroxide (E ⁰ = 1.78 V), and permanganate (E ⁰ = 1.70 V), and it produces sulfate radicals (SO ₄ ^- , E ⁰ ~2.6 V) which are stronger oxidants through the activation process. Generally, the following methods can be used to generate sulfate radicals by activating persulfate anions.

(1) Photochemical activation: S ₂ O ₈ ^2- + e ^- → SO ₄ ^- + SO ₄ ^2-

(2) Thermally activation: S ₂ O ₈ ^2- + heat → 2SO ₄ ^-

(3) Metal ion activation: S ₂ O ₈ ^2- + Fe ²⁺ ? SO 4 ^- + Fe ³⁺ + SO ₄ ^2-

(4) Alkali activation: 2S ₂ O ₈ ^2- + 2H ₂ O + Alkali 3SO ₄ ^2- + SO ₄ ^- + O ₂ ^- + 4H ⁺

The sulfuric acid can be activated by an already introduced alkali substance as shown in the formula (4) to generate a radical to cause an oxidation reaction. Finally, the oil can be decomposed into carbon dioxide, water, or a harmless substance to the human body.

Thereafter, groundwater containing additional contaminants eluted by the alkali can be extracted to the top of the ground via the extraction wells and purified by various purification methods. The groundwater can then be injected back into the basement.

More specifically, not less than 20% by weight, and not more than 90% by weight; 20 wt% or more, and 80 wt% or less; 20% or more, and 70% or less by weight; 20 wt% or more, and 60 wt% or less.

The alkali substance contained in the steel by-product may include MgO or CaO.

Passing the groundwater through the water-permeable wall; and adjusting the pH of the groundwater to 9 or more and 12 or less. MgO, CaO, etc. of the steel by-products meet groundwater and OH ^- ions are generated, and the groundwater becomes basic as described above. Thereafter, when the groundwater flows into contact with the oil contaminated soil, the oil in the oil contaminated soil can be released into the groundwater as described above.

Hereinafter, an exemplary method of purifying oil contaminated soil according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

If oil pollution (4) is present in the basement, the water wall (3) parallel to the groundwater flow (1) is installed to prevent the spread of oil, then tap water is applied to the ground water upstream of the contaminated area, (2). As the groundwater moves from upstream to the day, it passes through the permeable wall made of steel byproducts, so that the pH in the groundwater rises to 10 ~ 12, and the groundwater and the contaminated soil with the increased pH come in contact with the oil. After that, the groundwater containing the oil is extracted through the extraction pipe (6) installed at the downstream of the groundwater to purify the soil. In addition, an injection conduit (5) is installed between the permeable wall and the contaminated area, and an oxidizing agent activated by alkali is input to remove the remaining oil contaminants through the chemical oxidation in the ground.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments and comparative examples of the present invention will be described. However, the following examples are only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

Contaminated soil and groundwater were collected from contaminated soil remediation sites in Gangneung. The soil was subjected to TPH analysis by soil pollution process test method and found to be about 19,800 mg / kg. The pollutants were mainly alkyl compounds and aromatic compounds. Blast furnace slag powder was used for steel by-products, and the composition is shown in Table 1.

Table 2 shows changes in pH and TPH elution of groundwater according to the amount of slag added. The weight of the slag was mixed with 100 g of contaminated soil, and the mixture was added to 100 mL of ground water. After stirring for 1 day, the pH and TPH of the supernatant were analyzed. As a result, the pH rapidly increased from 10% or more by weight of the soil, and the elution of TPH occurred. (Examples 1 to 4)
