투수성이 높은 토양에 대한 동전기세정 제염의 영향을 평가했다. 실험토양은 많은 모래를 함유하여 수리전도도가 높은 연구 원자로 주변부지로부터 채취했다. 세정용액의 방출속도는 제염시간 경과와 함께 감소했다. 시트릭산을 사용했을 때, 세정용액의 방출속도는 78.7 ml/day로 가장 빨랐다. 세정용액으로 초산을 사용하였을 때, 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘의 제거효율은 가장 높은 값인 95.2%와 84.2%를 나타냈다. 동전기제염 시 발생된 토양 폐액부피는 토양세척제염시보다 1/20으로 감소했다. 반면에 동전기세정방법은 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘 제거효율을 동전기방법 보다 각각 6%와 2%로 향상시켰다. 그러므로 동전기세정방법은 투수성이 높은 토양제염 시 좀 더 효과적이다.
This study examined the effect of an electrokinetic-flushing remediation for a soil of a high permeability. The soil was sampled from the site around a research atomic reactor which had high hydro-conductivities due to a high content of sand in the soil. The flow rate of the washing reagent was fast at the beginning but it was reduced as time lapsed. In the case of using citric acid as a washing reagent, the flow rate was fastest, 78.7 ml/day. The removal efficiencies of $Co^{2+}$ and $Cs^+$ from a soil cell with acetic acid were the highest, which were 95.2% and 84.2% respectively. The soil waste-solution volume generated from the electrokinetic remediation was reduced to about 1/20 of that from the soil washing remediation. Meanwhile, the electrokinetic-flushing method enhanced the removal efficiencies of $Co^{2+}$ and $Cs^+$ from the soil by about 6% and 2% respectively, compared to those by the electrokinetic method. Consequently, it was found that the electrokinetic-flushing method was more effective for the remediation of a soil with a high permeability.
