초록

이 연구는 토현광산 수계의 환경오염에 관하여 지질, 광물 및 지구화학적으로 고찰한 것이다. 과안부근에 분포하는 토양과 퇴적물의 ${Al_2}{O_3}/{Na_2O}$${K_2}O/{Na_2}O$의 비는 ${SiO_2}/{Al_2}{O_3}$에 대하여 부분적인 부의 상관관계를 갖는다. 또한 일부 미량 및 희토류 원소의 지구화학적 특성(V/Ni, Ni/Co, La/Ce, Th/Yb, Th/U, La/Th, ${La_N}/{Yb_N}$, Co/Th, La/Sc 및 Sc/Th)들은 비교적 좁은 범위를 보이며 균질한 조성을 갖는다. 이는 광산의 모암인 셰일의 근원암이 중성 또는 염기성 화성암에서 기원한 퇴적물이 우세하였던 것임을 지시하는 것이다. 토양과 퇴적물의 대표적인 광물종은 석영, 운모, 장석, 각섬석, 녹니석 및 점토광물 등이나, 함량비는 시료에 따라 다소 차이가 있다. 독성원소의 함량이 높은 토양과 퇴적물에서는 황철석, 유비철석, 섬아연석, 황동석, 방연석, 침철석 등의 중광물과 다양한 종류의 수산화물이 많이 산출된다. 기반암의 조성으로 표준화한 주원소의 부화지수는 퇴적물 = 1.0, 침전물 = 1.7, 밭 토양 =0.9, 논 토양 = 0.8이다. 이 광산 수계에서 검출된 중금속의 최대함량은 Ag = 186 ppm, As = 17,100 ppm, Bi = 127 ppm, Cd = 77 ppm, Cu = 12,299 ppm, Pb = 8,897 ppm, Sb = 1,350 ppm, W = 599 및 Zn = 12,250 ppm 이다. 이 독성원소들은 광폐석 야적장 주변의 퇴적물과 침전물에서 특히 높고, total FeO의 함량과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 기반암의 조성을 기준으로 이 독성원소(As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, W, Zn)들의 부화지수를 구하면, 퇴적물 = 106.0, 침전물 = 279.6, 밭토양 = 3.5, 논 토양 = 1.6 이나, EPA의 기준치로 표준화된 부화지수는 각각 40.7, 121.4, 1.3 및 0.6 이다.

Environmental pollution of the Tohyun mine creek area was investigated on the basis of geology, mineralogy and geochemistry. In soils and sediments of the mine area, ${Al_2}{O_3}/{Na_2O}$ and ${K_2}O/{Na_2}O$ ratios are partly negative correlation against ${SiO_2}/{Al_2}{O_3}$, respectively. Geochemical characteristics of some trace and rare earth elements such as V/Ni, Ni/Co, La/Ce, Th/Yb, Th/U, La/Th, ${La_N}/{Yb_N}$, La/Sc and Sc/Th are revealed a narrow range and homogeneous compositions may be explained by simple source lithology. These results suggest that sediments source of the host shale around the mine area could be originated by basic to intermediate igneous rocks. Mineral compositions of soil and sediment near the mine area were partly variable mineralogy, which are composed of quartz, mica, feldspar, chlorite, clay minerals and some pyrite. Soils and sediments with highly concentrated heavy minerals, gravity separated mineralogy, are composed of some pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, goethite and various kinds of hydroxide minerals on the polished sections. As normalized by bed rock composition, average enrichment indices of major elements in sediments, precipitates, farmland soils and paddy soils are 1.0, 1.7, 0.9 and 0.8, respectively. Maximum concentration of environmental toxic elements in the mine creek are detected with Ag = 186 ppm, As = 17,100 ppm, Bi = ]27 ppm, Cd = 77 ppm, Cu = 12,299 ppm, Pb = 8,897 ppm, Sb = 1,350 ppm, W = 599 ppm and Zn = 12,250 ppm, which are increasing with total FeO increasing, and extremely high concentrations of surface sediments and precipitates near the waste rock dump. These toxic elements (As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb, W and Zn) of the samples, normalizing by host rock concentration, revealed that average enrichment index is 106.0 for sediments, 279.6 for precipitates, 3.5 for farmland soils and 1.6 for paddy soils. However, on the basis of EPA values, enrichment indices of all the samples are 40.7, 121.4, 1.3 and 0.6, respectively.
