초록

인위적 중금속 오염 토양은 중금속용액과 토양 간 흡착평형, 여과 또는 원심분리, 건조과정을 거쳐 완성되어 토양세척 및 토양독성 실험에 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 많은 문헌에서 실험에 사용한 오염토양이 건조과정 이후 충분한 세척을 마친 후 사용되었는지 불분명하다. 본 연구는 중금속 오염 토양 제조 과정에서 최종 세척과정이 중금속 오염 농도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 3가지 대표적 중금속 오염 토양 제조방법(슬러리 건조법, 평형 후 건조법, 여과 후 건조법)에 의한 중금속(Cd, Pb) 오염 농도 차이를 파악하고 이후 최종 세척과정이 제조 중금속 오염 토양 농도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 중금속용액과 토양을 흡착평형 시킨 후 건조과정만을 거쳐 제조한 오염토양 내 중금속은 이후 단순 세척과정에서 50% 이상 용탈되는 것으로 나타났다. 중금속용액과 토양 간 흡착평형을 거쳐 중금속 오염 토양을 제조한 경우 실험 전 충분한 세척을 거치지 않는다면 이후 토양세척 및 토양독성 실험 결과에 지대한 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 그러므로 제조오염토양을 이용한 실험에서는 초기 중금속 농도 결정 시점을 중금속 흡착 완료 단계가 아닌, 흡착 후 충분한 세척이 완료된 이후 초기 토양중금속 농도로 결정하는 것이 바람직하다.

Artificially metal-contaminated soils have been widely used for lab-scale soil washing and soil toxicity experiments. The artificial soil contamination methods consist of 1) first equilibrating soils with heavy metal solution, 2) filtrating or centrifuging soils from the mixture and 3) finally drying the soils. However, some of those artificially contaminated soil experiments have not clearly shown that the soils were thoroughly rinsed with water prior to conducting experiments. This study investigated the amount of heavy metal release from the artificially metal-contaminated soil by pre-water-rinsing. Three different artificially metal-contaminated soil preparation methods were first evaluated with Cd and Pb concentrations of soil. Then, this study investigated the effect of pre-water-rinsing on the Cd and Pb concentration of the artificially contaminated soil. Heavy metal concentrations of the soil produced by equilibrating and drying the metal solution-soil were significantly reduced by pre-water-rinsing. The results of the study implied that experimental results would be significantly distorted when the artificially heavy metal-contaminated soils were not thoroughly water-rinsed prior to conducting experiments. Therefore, the initial heavy metal concentration of the artificially contaminated soil should be determined after thoroughly rinsing the soil that was previously obtained through the adsorption and dry stages.
