Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the sulfate removal capacity of the enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) technique through the chemical precipitation of sulfate with calcium ions. The optimal EICP recipe was obtained to retain the excess calcium cations in the solution for the generation of a sufficient amount of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) mineral. The effect of gypsum precipitation on the EICP-treated sand specimen was investigated by measuring the shear wave velocity and by visual inspection via scanning electron microscopy. The EICP solution using soybean crude urease, as an alternative to laboratory-grade purified urease, exhibited a lower sulfate removal efficiency at a similar CaCO3 production rate compared with the optimal EICP recipe because of soybean impurities.

본 연구는 매립지 침출수 내 황산염 농도를 저감하기 위해 친환경 지반개량 공법인 Enzyme Induced Carbonate Precipitation(EICP) 공법을 활용하였다. 황산염의 화학적 침전을 유도하기 위해 충분한 탄산칼슘을 생성함과 동시에 여분의 칼슘 이온을 남길 수 있는 최적의 EICP 혼합비가 계산되었다. 최적 혼합비로 처리된 사질토 시편에서 황산염 침전이 전단 강성도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 전단파 속도를 측정하였고 전단파 속도 측정은 EICP 반응 및 황산염 반응 시간동안 수행되었다. 실험 결과, 생성된 침전물에 따른 전단 강성도의 발달을 확인하였고 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 침전물의 유형 및 패턴을 시각적으로 관찰하였다. 고순도 우레아제의 대체제로서 백태가루를 효소로 사용한 EICP 용액의 경우 고순도 EICP 용액과 동일한 탄산칼슘 생성 효율에서 보다 낮은 황산염 제거 효율을 보였는데 이는 백태가루에 포함된 불순물이 석고의 침전을 방해하기 때문이다.
