초록

금정산 일대 지하수공으로부터 공막힘 물질(clogging material)의 형성원인과 특성을 연구하였다. 공막힘 원시료는 레이저입도측정기를 이용하여 입도분포 분석을 하였고, 광물분석, 미세구조특성분석을 위하여 X-선회절분석(XRD)과 전자현미경(SEM, TEM)분석을 실시하였다. 대부분의 시료들은 로그정규분포에 가까운 입도분포의 특성을 나타내나 일부 시료에서는 여러 구간에서 높은 빈도분포를 보인다. 이 같은 입도특징은 입자의 형성단계가 다양하여 입자의 크기가 다르거나, 물질의 종류 자체가 다름을 의미한다. XRD 분석결과에 의하면, 공막힘 물질들은 주로 침철석, 페리하이드라이트, 래피도크로사이트와 같이 결정도가 낮은 철수산화물이 우세하며, 일부는 철, 망간, 아연의 금속물질, 또는 석영, 장석, 운모 및 스멕타이트 등으로 구성된다. 적갈색 시료의 경우 철수산화물, 암적색 및 암흑색 시료는 철수산화물, 망간수산화물, 회백색 및 연갈색 시료는 스멕타이트, 석영, 장석, 철수산화물 등으로 이루어진다. SEM하에서 공막힘 물질은 주로 철수산화물과 미량의 암편으로 구성되는데, 철박테리아의 일종인 Gallionella와 Leptothrix가 철수산화물과 흔히 수반된다. TEM하에서 철박테리아는 협막과 내부에 철수산화물의 덩어리를 산점상의 형태로 보유하고 있어 대사과정에서 철의 침전작용과 밀접하게 관련됨을 보인다. 석영, 장석, 백운모와 같은 조암광물은 지하수공 분포지역인 금정산 일대의 화강암편으로부터 유래한 것으로 토양이나 대수층으로부터 유래되었다. 지하수공의 성능을 잘 유지하려면 공막힘물질의 형성원인 규명이 중요한 과제이다.

The physical, chemical, and biological properties of clogging materials formed within groundwater wells in the Mt. Geumjeong area, Busan, Korea, were characterized. The particle size distribution (PSD) of clogging materials was measured by a laser analyzer. XRD, SEM, and TEM analyses were performed to obtain mineralogical information on the clogging materials, with an emphasis on identifying and characterizing the mineral species. In most cases, PSD data exhibited an near log-normal distribution; however, variations in frequency distribution were found in some intervals (bi-or trimodal distributions), raising the possibility that particles originated from several sources or were formed at different times. XRD data revealed that the clogging materials were mainly amorphous ironhydroxides such as goethite, ferrihydrite, and lapidocrocite, with lesser amounts of Fe, Mn, and Zn metals and silicates such as quartz, feldspar, micas, and smectite. Reddish brown material was amorphous hydrous ferriciron (HFO), and dark red and dark black materials were Fe, Mn-hydroxides. Greyish white and pale brown materials consisted of silicates. SEM observations indicated that the clogging materials were mainly HFO associated with iron bacteria such as Gallionella and Leptothrix, with small amounts of rock fragments. In TEM analysis, disseminated iron particles were commonly observed in the cell and sheath of iron bacteria, indicating that iron was precipitated in close association with the metabolism of bacterial activity. Rock-forming minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and micas were primarily derived from soils or granite aquifers, which are widely distributed in the study area. The results indicate the importance of elucidating the formation mechanisms of clogging materials to ensure sustainable well capacity.
