대부분의 폐광산 주변 농경지 토양은 비소 및 여러 중금속으로 오염되어 있으며, 이러한 중금속들의 지속적인 용출에 의해 주변 지하수 오염과 재배 농산물의 중금속 축적이 우려되고 있다. 오염토양에서의 중금속 용출에 의한 오염을 막기 위하여 본 연구에서는 개량제를 이용한 안정화 공법을 선택하여 하부로 배출되는 중금속의 용출율을 감소시키는 실험을 실시하였다. 생석회(CaO)를 개량제로 이용하여 실제 오염 농경지 현장과 비슷한 대형칼럼을 제작한 후 인공강우를 주입, 하부로 용출되는 중금속의 농도를 측정함으로써 생석회 첨가에 의한 용출율 감소를 규명하였다. 개량제를 비오염토와 혼합하여 오염토양 상부에 복토한 것과 오염토와 혼합하여 객토한 칼럼을 각각 제작하였으며 투입되는 생석회의 양도 $2{\sim}10%$로 다양하게 적용 하였고, 첨가된 개량제의 성상도 분말과 입상으로 나누어 실험하였다. 주입하는 인공강우는 연구지역 주변의 10년간의 연 평균 강수량을 토대로 산정하였으며, 복토와 객토를 하지 않은 오염토양도 같은 조건에서 용출을 실시하였다. 실험결과 생석회의 성상에 따른 중금속 용출율의 차이는 없었으며, 개량제 함량은 5%가 적당한 것으로 나타났다. 복토와 객토를 비교하였을 때 용출되는 중금속의 농도는 객토가 복토에 비해 낮아 중금속 용출율 감소효과가 매우 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 중금속의 종류에 따라 용출율 감소의 차이를 나타내었다. 복토법의 경우 As의 용출율은 분말 생석회를 5% 복토한 경우 용출율이 10배 감소하고 Cd의 경우 2%와 5% 복토한 경우 각각 25배와 161배 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. Pb의 경우 생석회로 5%로 복토한 경우 10배정도의 용출율 감소를 보였고 Zn의 용출율은 분말, 입상 생석회를 5% 복토한 경우 80배$\sim$155배 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 객토법의 경우 입상생석회를 5% 복토한 경우 Cd과 Zn 각각 200배에서 400배의 용출율 감소를 나타내었다.

국내에 산재해 있는 휴ㆍ폐광산은 주변의 하천이나 농경지에 지속적인 중금속 오염원을 제공하면서 많은 문제점을 발생시키고 있다. 여러 종류의 중금속으로 오염된 토양에 대하여 안정화 공법의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 오염토양에 적절한 복토첨가제로 생석회와 석회석을 사용하여 첨가제를 넣지 않은 dh염토양과 중금속 용출율을 비교 ㆍ분석하였다. 이 결과 안정화 첨가제들이 Cd, Pb, Zn등의 중금속 용출을 억제하는데 높은 효율을 보여줌을 확인할 수 있었으며, 첨가제를 넣지 않은 토양과 비교한 결과 약 40배 이상의 용출율 감소를 보였다. 또한 실험 시에 첨가제 각각의 함량을 1%, 2%, 5%로 설정하여 현장 적용시 복토에 첨가할 적절한 양을 산출해 낼 수 있도록 하였다. 첨가제 주입으로 인한 용출율 감소는 하나의 중금속에 국한되는 것이 아니라 여러 원소를 동시에 효과적으로 안정화시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 오염토양에 토양안정화공법을 적용 시에 중요한 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

To establish the method of integrated weed management in rice nurserybed, phytotoxic factors of herbicide and antidote efficacy were evaluated at the Yeongnam Crop Experiment Station in 1982 and 1984. Seven hundred eighty four research items were carried out as weed control research since 1961. While 65% of these were belonged to rice research, only 6% was attributed to nurserybed among rice research. More herbicidal phytotoxicity exhibited when seedbed was pressed just after seeding than sand covered or uncovered seedbed and also this phytotoxic symptom enhanced by using intact seed compared to pregerminated seed. Rinsing practice of seedbed reduced the phytotoxic effect of butachlor and this effect was more pronounced with the number of rinsing operation increase and at the pressed plot. However, herbicidal efficacy was not significantly decreased by rinsing operation. Growth of rice seedling hardly affected where the herbicide was absorbed through root only compared to absorption from both of root and shoot for pyrazolate, butachlor and thiobencarb. Herbicide antidote `CGA 123'407' completely protected from the phytotoxic effect of pretilachlor without arising any adversal effect in weed control. However, without antidote, pretilachlor showed the most severe phytotoxic symptom among used herbicides.

This study estimated the possibility of phosphate removal characteristics to utilize EAF(electric arc furnace) slag as submarine cover material. The major phosphate removal mechanism was a certain formation of HAP precipitation occurred by the ionization reaction between $Ca^{2+}$ and $OH^-$, which were leached from the EAF Slag. Another phosphate removal mechanism was the adsortion of EAF slag surface. As a result of $PO_4{^-}-P$ removal characteristics using continuous column reactor, $PO_4{^-}-P$ concentration decreased rapidly after 3 days and 10 days later, it show under 0.5 ppm. The result as applied in real sea water, shows that the phosphate removal effects were 93~98% by the subaqueous sediment removal using the EAF slag. In conclusion, EAF slag is useful in $PO_4{^-}-P$ removal and control and it is possible to use without additional process like crush and selection.

This experiment was carried out to clarify the effect of herbicide chlormethoxynil 7G, CNP 9G and butachlor 3.5/pyrazolate 6G on weed control and seedling growth in rice seedbed. Different quantities of the herbicides were applied as soil incorporation or surface broadcasting. At earlier sowing annual grasses such as Echinochlva spp. and Alopecurus spp. were dominated, but Cyperus spp. were dominated at later sowing. Weed suppression by herbicides was greater in soil incorporation than in broadcasting and chlormethoxynil 7G and CNP 9G application (30kg/ha) showed about 70% weed control, while butachlor 3.5/pyrazolate 6G (10-20kg/ha) showed 90 to 100% weed control. At lower rate of butachlor 3.5/pyrazolate 6G (10kg/ha) emergence ratio, healthy seedling ratio and relative growth rate of rice were higher, and phytotoxicity was lower than in the others.

Artificial cultivation of Lyopyllun decastes is costly because the high expense is required for soil covering and bark. Therefore, most farmers of Lyopyllun decastes have recognized it is difficult to cultivate it. The purpose of this study is to reduce the cost of cultivation of Lyopyllun decastes by applying new cultivation method and introducing mutation of fungi. In this study, a new method of practical artificial cultivation was developed through many experiments using fermented pine sawdust and wheat bran. In conclusion, the method of practical artificial cultivation of Lyopyllun decaste is simple and cost efficient because neither soil covering nor bark is required.

Restoration of min-impacted arable land is often performed through stabilization of trace elements by amendment treatment combined with (clean) soil covering on the surface. Recently, soil loss problem from sloping remediated agricultural lands has risen as an emerging concern. In this study, efficacy of aggregation formation was assessed by single and binary treatments of four potential amendments (bentonite, lime, organic matter, and steel slag) applied on three cover soils having different clay contents (9.4, 14.7, and 21.2% for A, B, and C soils respectively). In results of single treatments, 5% organic matter for A soil and 5% lime for B and C soils were found most effective for the aggregation formation compared to the respective controls (without amendments). Among nine binary treatments, 3% organic matter + 1% lime for A soil and 1% organic matter + 3% lime for both B and C soils led to the highest formation of aggregation (30.4, 25.0, and 36.5% for A, B, and C soils). For a site-application, the soil erodibility difference between the cover soils (0.045, 0.051, and 0.054 for A, B, and C soils, respectively) and the national average of arable land (0.032) was assumed to be compensated by amendment addition, which is equivalent to 29.1% aggregation formation. To achieve the aggregation goal, 5% lime for A and B soils and 3% lime for C soil were best in the consideration of benefit/cost, thereby effectively and economically reducing soil loss from sloping remediation site. Soil alkalinity induced by lime treatment was not considered in this work.

The aims of this study is to improve physical properties of the sewage sludge and the process sludge generated in the leachate treatment by mixing the dry fuel, to develop the neutral solidifing agents that reduce oder, and to recycle the sewage and the process sludges as landfill cover materials. The mixing ratio (W/W) of sludges and dry fuel was appropriate at about 1:1, and the mixed materials were shown to be homogeneous at that ratio. We could know that when the sludges were mixed with dry fuel, moisture contents and viscosities are reduced, and air passages are formed between particles and particles. The various mixing tests and odor tests showed that the neutral solidifing agent was effective for the odor reduction. The main ingredient of the solidifing agent is the ash of sewage sludge, enabling it competitive in waste recycling and production costs. The landfill cover, using developed neutral solidification agent, improved physical properties to satisfy the quality standards and to increase the compressive strength. It also proved to reduce the value of complex oder and the usage of solidification agent to 1/3 (3,000 to 1,000) and to 1/8 (50% to 6%), respectively, from the comparative study with alkaline solidified landfill cover. Further research is under way to prove that this can be mixed with general soil to be used as a soil improvement agent for plant cultivation.

To promote the carbon emission trading scheme and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission as following 'Korean GHG & Energy Target Management System', GHG emissions should be accurately determined in each industrial sector. For the estimation method of GHG emission from waste landfill, there are several error parameters, therefore we reviewed the estimation method and proposed a revised method. Methane generation from landfill must be calculated by the selected method based on methane recovery rate, 0.75. However, this methodology is not considered about uncertainty factor. So it is desirable that $CH_4$ generation is estimated using first order decay model and methane recovery should use field monitoring data. If not, $CH_4$ recovery could be applied from other study results; 0.60 of operational landfill with gas vent and flaring system, 0.65 of operational site with landfill gas recovery system, 0.90 of closed landfill with final cover. Other parameters such as degradable organic carbon (DOC) and fraction of DOC decompose ($DOC_f$) need to derive the default value from studies to reflect a Korean waste status. Proper application of MCF that is selected by operation and management of landfill requires more precise criteria.

The objective of this research is to evaluate various reclamation methods of sewage sludge cake after treating with microwave under optimum conditions. In this study the sewage sludge cakes used from S and N wastewater treatment plants in the P city. Microwave with an induced electricity heating way was employed for dehydration of sewage sludge cake. Microwave operation conditions is 2,450 MHz of frequency and the power with 1 to 4 kW. This sewage sludge cake had a moisture content of 70%. The moisture content of the sludge decreased notable up to 2%(wt) resulted in breaking of cell wall. When the treated sewage sludge cake mixed with soils could be applied to use midterm and last cover material soils. Moreover, the adsorption ability of heavy metals such as copper, lead, chromium and cadmium was greatly enhanced by treated sewage sludge cake. Within 30 minutes, 1ppm of copper, chromium and cadmium and 10ppm of lead with 1g of the treated sewage sludge cake in $100m{\ell}$ were below detection. It was possible to use the treated sewage sludge cake as an absorbent for absorption of toxic heavy metals. Results from this research indicated that using of microwave radiation was an effective method for treating sewage sludge cake economically and environmental. A point of view of reclamation, the treated sewage sludge cake appeared to be feasible with an adsorption of heavy metals in steady of using expensive yellow earth.
