Abstract

In this study, it was analyzed the soil components and elution characteristics of heavy metal ions in sediment samples to examine the effect of sediments embedded in Andong and Imha reservoirs on water quality. Major elements of sediments were shown to be Al, Si, K, and Fe by EDS analysis and major soil components of the collected 6 different sediments were illite (I), kaolinite (Ka), quartz (Q) and feldspar (F). And especially quartz took up a considerable part of sediments by XRD analysis. The total concentrations of Zn, As, Cr, Cu and Pb in sediments of Andong reservoir were relatively higher than those of Imha reservoir. The elution property of heavy metal from sediments had various aspects according to pH. Among the heavy metals in Andong reservoir sediments, As and Zn were significantly eluted at pH 6 compared with the other heavy metals. In the case of the adsorption tests using the sediments, the adsorptive capacities of Zn, Cd and Cu were very weak, on the while those of Pb and Cr were high.

본 연구는 안동지역에 소재하는 안동 임하호 저니토가 호소수에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 안동호와 임하호 6개 지역에서 채취한 저니토의 토양성분과 중금속 용출 특성을 분석하였다. 대부분의 저니토는 illite(I), kaolinite(Ka), quartz(Q) 및 feldspar(F)로 구성되어 있다. 저니토에 포함된 중금속 중 아연(Zn), 비소(As), 크롬(Cr), 구리(Cu), 납(Pb)의 농도는 임하호에 비하여 안동호에서 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 특히 안동호의 저니토에서는 다른 중금속들에 비해 비소(As)와 아연(Zn)의 용출이 크게 나타났다. 저니토를 이용한 흡착실험에서는 아연(Zn), 카드늄(Cd) 및 구리(Cu)의 흡착은 적게 일어난 반면 납(Pb)과 크롬(Cr)은 높은 흡착력을 보여주었다.
