Major pollution pathways

 

Collecting contaminated soil samples

 

■  Soil particle size Analysis

 

Pollutant leaching test (Aqua regia Extraction method)

Application Method Test – Electrokinetic

Application Method Test – Soil Washing

Application Method Test – Physical Soil Washing

 

Application Method Test – Solidification / Stabilization

  • Stabilization tests are carried out in combination of 20 kinds of stabilizers each, or 2 to 3 types
  • Confirmation of concentration reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr6 +) in 5 experimental groups
    Initial 2,200mg/kg ▶ 1~20mg/kg

 

 

■  Evaluating the stability of reducing agent over soil pH and reaction time (trivalent chromium ▶hexavalent chromium reoxidition)

  • Evaluation of stabilization of reducing agent

  • In each of the 4 experimental groups, each pH solution is reoxidized with hexavalent chromium ▶ Not applicable on site

About 15 ~ 25 mg / L hexavalent chromium in each pH solution, 200 ~ 500mg / kg hexavalent chromium in the soil sample is re-detected

It was confirmed that it was re-oxidized by the passage of time and the change of soil pH and was not stable.

  • In one experiment, stabilization is not the only reversion after stabilization.

→ Satisfaction with target concentration 0.5 to 2 mg / L in solution, 5 to 13 mg / kg in soil sample

Successful acquisition of stabilizer and design factor optimized for the target site contaminated soil
