Abstract

This study describes the results of model experiments to evaluate the oil diffusion barrier performance of a reactive liner containing 100% polynorbornene, depending on the location of the oil spill. Model experiments showed that the reactive liner became impermeable after 8 hours in standard sand soil and achieved full barrier performance after approximately 48 hours, when TPH leaked from the reactive liner at a distance of 0.85D. However, in fine-grained soil, impermeability and barrier performance were achieved after approximately 6 hours and 24 hours, respectively. the reactive liner became impermeable and achieved barrier performance before approximately 7 hours and 10 hours in standard sand soil, and before approximately 4 hours and 10 hours in fine-grained soil, when TPH leaked from the reactive liner at a distance of 0.50D. Therefore, it was analyzed that the evaluation of groundwater flow rate needs to be reflected in the design of underground installation of reactive liners, as the influence of groundwater flow on the blocking performance of reactive liners due to oil diffusion differs depending on the ground conditions.

본 연구에서는 100%의 폴리노보넨이 적용된 반응성 라이너에 대하여 유류 오염물의 누출이 발생한 위치에 따라 반응성 라이너의 유류 확산 차단 성능을 평가하기 위한 모형실험을 실시하였다. 모형실험 결과, 반응성 라이너로부터 0.85D 위치에서 TPH가 누출된 경우, 표준사 지반에서는 8H 경과 시에 반응성 라이너가 불투수성으로 변화되고, 약 48H가 경과되어야 완전한 차단 성능을 발휘하였다. 그러나 세립토 함유 지반에서는 약 6H 및 24H 경과 시에 각각 불투수성 변화 및 차단성능이 확보되었다. 반응성 라이너로부터 0.50D 위치에서 TPH가 누출된 경우, 표준사 지반에서는 약 7H 및 10H, 세립토 함유 지반에서는 약 4H 및 10H 이전에 반응성 라이너가 각각 불투수성 변화 및 차단 성능을 발휘하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 지반 조건에 따른 지하수 유동이 유류 확산에 기인한 반응성 라이너의 차단 성능에 미치는 영향이 다르기 때문에, 반응성 라이너의 지중 설치에 관한 설계 시 지하수 유속에 관한 평가가 반영될 필요가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
