Abstract

To remove $Zn^{2+}$(422 ppm) and $Mn^{2+}$(53.1 ppm) from Sambo mine runoff(the total amount of heavy metals : 107 ppm) in Whasung, packed bed column tests were run in two stages plastic columns. The non-treated bark(Pinus densiflora, Quercus accutisima) of each 6 kg were placed into columns. The height and diameter of column were 60 cm and 45 cm, respectively. Flow rate ranged to 1 ${\ell}$/min for 15 days. The concentration of heavy metal ions in filtrate was determinded periodically. By the treatment of oak bark the initial concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ was maintained under 10 ppm(the adsorption rate: 64%) for 24 hr, while pine bark kept the initial concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ under 20 ppm(the adsorption rate: 53%) for 15 hr. However the initial concentration of $Mn^{2+}$ was reduced only to 10.6~18.6 ppm (the adsorption rate: 20~35%) until 10 hr. Thereafter, the adsorption of $Mn^{2+}$ by bark decreased rapidly. There was little difference in the adsorption ratio of $Mn^{2+}$ between oak and pine bark. The use of bark to remove $Zn^{2+}$ in Samba mine runoff was effective, but it wasn't proper to remove $Mn^{2+}$.

삼보광산 폐수(총 중금속 농도 : 107 ppm) 에 함유되어 있는 중금속 $Zn^{2+}$(42.1 ppm) 과 $Mn^{2+}$(53.1 ppm)을 미처리 상수리나무와 소나무 수피로 정수하기 위하여 현장에서 칼럼 시험을 수행하였다. 수피 각각 6kg을 2단 칼럼(직경 45 cm, 높이 60 cm) 에 나누어 넣고 1 ${\ell}$/min의 유속으로 폐수를 칼럼에 통과시키며 15일간 일정 시간마다 여액의 중금속 농도를 분석하였다. $Zn^{2+}$은 상수리나무 수피로 처리함에 따라 24 hr 동안 10 ppm 이하로 유지되었다. 즉 64%의 흡착율을 보였다. 한편 소나무 수피는 15 hr 동안 20 ppm 정도로 약 53%의 흡착율을 나타내었다. $Mn^{2+}$은 수피에 흡착이 저조하여 10 hr 이내 까지만 20-35%의 흡착율을 나타내었다. 수종 간에 Mn2 + 의 흡착율의 차이는 거의 없었다. 수피를 삼보광산의 폐수에 함유된 중금속 흡착제로 사용할 경우 $Zn^{2+}$에는 효과적이었으나. $Mn^{2+}$의 흡착용으로는 적당하지 않았다.
