Abstract

Solidification/Stabilization(S/S) is one of the remediation technologies that have been applied for treating inorganic hazardous wastes. This study investigated the reduction of arsenic concentration of arsenic-contaminated soil using by S/S. The binder plays a role in controlling the mobility and solubility of the contaminants in S/S process, so it is important to determine the optimum binder content. Therefore, this study evaluated the effectiveness of S/S using four different binders(cement, zero valent iron, and monosulfate and ettringite(cement-based synthesized materials) at the binder content ranged between 5%(wt.) and 20%(wt.). The leachability of arsenic in 1 N HCl was different depending on the types of binders: cement(71.41%) > monosulfate(47.45%) > ettringite(46.36%) > ZVI(33.08%) at the binder content of 20%. Additionally, three kinds of a mixture binder were prepared using cement and additives(monosulfate, ettringite, calcium sulfoaluminate(CSA)) and tested for arsenic reduction. The highest arsenic removal capacity was found at the mass ratio of cement to the additive, 4:1 in all experiments using a mixture binder, regardless of the additives types. A mixture binder(cement and additives) resulted in higher arsenic removal relative to the arsenic removal when cement was used alone.

본 연구에서는 비소 오염 토양의 비소 처리를 위해 고형화/안정화 공법을 적용하였으며, 4가지 종류의 바인더(시멘트, 영가철(Zero Valent iron, ZVI), monosulfate와 ettringite(시멘트계 합성물질))를 이용하였다. 1 N HCl 용출법을 통해 비교한 결과 바인더 함유량 20%에서, 시멘트(71.41%) > monosulfate(47.45%) > ettringite(46.36%) > 영가철(33.08%)의 비소가 용출되었다. 또한, 시멘트에 첨가제(monosulfate, ettringite, calcium sulfoaluminate, CSA)를 혼합하여 바인더를 제작하여 비소 저감 능력을 평가하였다. 1N HCl 용출법을 통해 비교한 결과 3가지 혼합바인더 모두 혼합비 4:1에서 최대의 비소농도 저감효과를 나타냈으며, CSA(86.27%) > monosulfate(84.78%) > ettringite(84.71%) > 시멘트(71.41%)의 비소를 안정화하여 기존의 시멘트만 단독으로 사용했을 경우보다 더 높은 비소(As(V)) 저감 능력을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가된다.
