Abstract
A cold mix asphalt (CMA) treatment process was proposed as a tool to recycle soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. Experimental studies were conducted to characterize performances of the CMA process in treating soils contaminated with diesel or diesel compounds. From the screening experiments, it was found that performances of five types of asphalt emulsions that contained a cationic or an anionic or a nonionic surfactant were not substantially different. In consideration of higher affinity for soils and higher sorption coefficients obtained, an emulsion containing Lauryl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (LDBAC) was selected as a promising asphalt emulsion for treating diesel-contaminated soils. When the asphalt emulsion LDBAC was applied to treat three compounds that originated from diesel, the removal efficiencies obtained in the order of decreasing efficiencies were as follows: docosane > pentadecane > undecane. Leaching experiments on the specimen formulated by the emulsion LDBAC found that the selected treatment method could treat soils with diesel concentrations as high as 10,000 mg/kg. Leaching of the diesel from the specimen was controlled by diffusion for the first four days and then leaching rate diminished substantially. The latter behavior was characterized as depletion, which represents that the contaminant released amounts to more than $50\%$ of the total amount of the contaminant that can be leached. The amounts of three diesel compounds leached from the specimen in the order of decreasing amount were undecane, pentadecane, and docosane. The curing of the soil contaminated with pentadecane was relatively slow.

유류오염토양을 건설재료로 재활용할 수 있는 방안으로써 Cold Mix Asphalt(CMA) 처리를 제시하였고 디젤 및 디젤화합물로 오염된 토양의 CMA 처리특성을 고찰하였다. 양이온성 또는 음이온성 또는 비이온성 계면활성제를 함유하고 있는 5가지 아스팔트 이멀젼을 이용해서 디젤 오염토양의 처리능을 고찰한 결과 첨가된 계면활성제의 차이에 의한 성능의 차이는 확연하게 드러나지 않았으나, 토양과의 친밀성 및 흡착계수를 고려하여 Lauryl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride (LDBAC)를 포함한 이멀젼을 오염토양 처리에 적합한 아스팔트 이멀젼으로 선정하였다. 아스팔트 이멀젼 LDBAC에 의한 세가지 디젤화합물의 처리능은 docosane, pentadecane, undecane의 순으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 아스팔트 이멀젼 LDBAC를 이용하여 CMA처리된 토양에 대한 용출실험결과 비교적 고농도인 10,000 mg/kg 의 디젤로 오염된 토양도 CMA처리 가능함을 확인하였다. 공시체로부터 디젤의 용출은 초기 4일까지는 확산에 의한 거동을 보여 주었고 그 이후로는 용출속도가 감소하여 총 용출가능양의 $50\%$ 이상이 유출되었다고 판단되는 depletion의 거동을 보여 주었다. CMA처리된 오염토양으로부터 3가지 디젤화합물의 총용출량은 undecane > pentadecane > docosane의 순서로 높은 것으로 나타났으며, pentadecane의 경우 CMA 처리시 양생속도가 상대적으로 더딘 것으로 밝혀졌다.
