According to the policy of coal industry promotion, a lot of mines were abandoned. As the abandoned mines were neglected, environmental pollution such as settlement of ground, ground-water run-off, landscape damage etc were accompanied around abandoned mines. The government was promoting countermeasures of environmental contamination but most of the Countermeasures were aimed at protecting the ecological system not infrastructure. For this reason, abandoned mines impact on infrastructure has been relatively neglected. Most mines are located in mountainous so there is a tunnel among typical infrastructure around abandoned mines. In this paper, the effect of Mine drainage, Typical pollution source of abandoned mine, was introduced into the using tunnel focusing on the types and examples.

Geophysical surveys(self-potential, electromagnetic, electrical resistivity, and seismic refraction methods) were performed to delineate the flow channel of leachate from a AMD (acid mine drainage) by correlating the anomalies to geochemical characteristics at an abandoned mine (Jangpoong mine). The geophysical responses attempted to be correlated with water sample analysis data(pH, EC, heavy metals, ${SO_4}^{-2}$). Electrical dipole-dipole resistivity sections represent the low-resistivity zone trending northwest, which indicates the leachate flow by AMD along the contact of the mine waste rock dump and the bedrock. From the overall points of geophysical and geochemical anomalies, it is summarized that the flow channel of leachate by AMD can be successfully imaged with composite interpretations on the geophysical and geochemical studies.

This study was carried out to investigate some mineralogical characteristics of Artificial Granular Zeolite (AGZ) and effect of AGZ on purification and alleviation of rice seedling damages of mine wastewater containing heavy metals. AGZ had mainly representative Na-P1 peaks and some $C_3S$ peaks of Portland cement in X-ray diffractogram. Differential thermal analysis represented that AGZ had weak endothermic peak around $130^{\circ}C$ and new deep endothermic peak around $750^{\circ}C$ as compared to powdery artificial zeolite. The ranking of heavy metals removals by AGZ, was lead> copper> cadmium> zinc in the synthetic wastewater. Root growth of rice seedling was greatly inhibited in the mine wastewater, and died after all. As AGZ treated into the mine wastewater with the ratio 1 : 50 (W : V) for one day or 1 : 100 for 4 days, the concentrations of heavy metals in the mine wastewater were decreased to below the critical concentration for agricultural use. And rice seedlings were grew with little damages in the purified water by AGZ.

$TiO_2$의 흡착에 의한 폐수처리는 거의 없으며, 본 실험의 T 산업 폐수에 평균 65mg/L 포함된 다량의 Cl￣ 이온은 광산화 반응의 억제제(inhibitor)로서 작용하는 것으로 사료되었다. 암모니아성 질소가 초기 40 mg/L에서 운전시간 24 시간 후에는 60 mg/L까지 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 질산성 질소의 농도는 15 mg/L 까지 증가하였다. ${PO_4}^{3-}$ 의 농도 변화는 거의 없었으며 1 mg/L 이하의 낮은 농도로 존재하였으며, 무기탄소 양은 매우 소량으로 거의 변화가 없었다. 운전기간 동안 pH 2.4 ～ 2.6으로 수렴하였고 반응속도의 변화는 거의 없었으며, CODcr에 대한 $BOD_{5}$의 분율은 반응이 진행될수록 증가하는 것으로 보아 난분해성의 폐수가 광촉매 반응 후 생물학적 처리가 가능한 폐수로 변화되었음을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 광산산성배수(AMD)에서 철 및 알루미늄 제거 효과가 입증되고 ARD(Acid Rock Drainage)에서의 비소제거 효과가 확인된 인회석을 침전제로 사용하여 철, 알루미늄 및 비소가 아닌 다른 중긍속의 제거효율을 알아보기 위해 도금폐수를 이용하여 실내실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 도금폐수의 수질분석결과에 의하면 '수질환경보존법 오염물질 배출허용기준' <가>지역 방출수 기준을 초과하는 것은 pH, Zn, Fe, Cu, Cr 및 P였다. 실험 결과 인회석 40번체 통과분-100번체 잔류분을 사용하는 것이 가장 적절할 것으로 생각되며 유속은 1kg의 인회석에 11의 도금폐수를 3시간 동안 반응시키면 경제적, 시간적 측면에서 가장 적절한 것으로 사료된다. 이 경우 pH는 1.98에서 5.30으로 증가하고 Cr, Fe, Cu 및 Zn은 각각 77.10%, 99.58%, 99.39% 및 40.77% 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 용해율은 0.3619 g/min/kg으로 계산되었다. 그러나 3시간의 반응시간으로는 크롬 및 아연을 기준치 이하로 제거하지 못하므로 인회석 반응조를 다단계로 하는 실험을 수행해 그 결과를 평가해야 할 것이다.

This research was carried out to investigate chemical pretreatment using limestone in treating abandoned metallic mine drainage with anaerobic biological treatment, and to estimate application of papermill and livestock sludge as carbon sources for SRB (Sulfate Reducing Bacterial. Capacity of anaerobic limestone bed was steeply decreased. But if limestone was utilized as pretreatment process in treating them with anaerobic biological treatment. it could look forward to stabilize system because it did initally neutralize them. Effluent SCOD in R-4 was lower than R-l~R-3 in inital HRT 5day but its concentration was high in HRT 1day after passed time. Therefore in point of durability and supply of organic matter. it seemed that R-4 was useful became organic matter in R-4 was not consumed by excessive degradation within short period. In all reactors, pH was suitable for SRB growth in whole HRT, but on the evidence of ORP, SRB was active after HRT 2day. Fixation trend of heavy meta s showed high as $SO_4{^{2-}}$ reduction efficiency increased, and $SO_4{^{2-}}$ reduction and fixation of heavy metals were relatively high in HET 2day.

우리나라에서 지하수 수질오염은 갈수록 심해지고 있다 지하수 오염원은 공장폐수, 생활하수, 정화조, 주유소, 농약(살충제, 제초제, 살균제), 비료, 축산폐수, 광산배수, 폐기물 처분장 침출수 등 이다. 특히, 농업지역에서는 농약에서 유래하는 지하수 오염이 점점 증대할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나, 우리나라 먹는물 수질기준에 규정되어 있는 농약 성분은 다이아지 논, 파라티온, 말라티온, 페니트로티온, 카바릴이다. 국내에서 시판되는 농약의 품목 수는 1981년 이전까지는 226종이던 것이 1990년에는 467종, 2001년에는 961종으로 증가하였다(제주도, 2001).

As a basic research on applying the microbial strains which had been isolated and proved to remove heavy metals, such as Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu in This laboratory to actual wastewater treatment, optimum condition of the treatment system with addition of single or multiple species of pollutants and microorganisms were investigated at small scale. Concentration of the bacterial inoculum was 3000mg/L and 1500mg/L of MLSS for treatment with single and multiple species, respectively. Removal rates of heavy metals were expressed at HRT’s (Hydraulic Retention Time) of 12, 24, and 48 hr. Removal rates of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu after 12 days at HRT of 24hr with addition of single and multiple species were 93%, 90%, 80%, and 39%, and 75%, 90%, 74%, and 48%, respectively. Judging from these results, treatment capability of the isolated strains is excellent. Hence, the microorganisms are expected to be applicable to actual wastewater treatment.
