뼈 결정과 같이 결정도가 낮은 탄산 인회석 결정의 화학조성 및 구조는 순수 수산화인회석 과 물리적 및 화학적 성질에 있어서 매우 다르다. 극미세 결정으로 결정도가 매우 낮은 불완전 결정이며, 결정 표면은 매우 반응성이 높은 이온으로 구성되어 있어 유기분자나 세포와 활발히 반응할 수 있다. 이와 같은 뼈 결정의 특성을 고형 기질 표면에 불완전 결정도 인회석 박막을 형성시켜 생체재료에 재현하였다. 이 박막에는 뼈세포들이 잘 부착하였는데 특히 골모세포의 부착, 증식, 분화를 촉진하여 장차 이와 같은 뼈 탄산 인회석의 특성을 갖는 인회석을 생체이식 재료로 이용하므로써 우리 몸의 생리에 좀 더 가까운 인공 매식체를 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a laboratory test on arsenic removal effciency for ARD(Acid Rock Drain-age) using limestone and apatite, and on heavy metals removal efficiencies for AMD(Acid Mine Drainage) using apatite and fish bone. As a result of the laboratory test, pH, arsenic removal rate of limestone & apatite are inversely proportional to flow rates and apatite removes 100% of arsenic while limestone removes 37% of arsenic at 0.6$m{ell}$/min/kg flow rate in case of ARD treatment. And the dissolution amount of apatite is twenty five times higher than that of limestone. In case of AMD treatment, fish bone shows higher dissolution rate than apatite, and pH of outlet water reacted with fish bone is higher than that reacted with apatite. The heavy metal removal rates of fish bone are also higher than that of apatite except arsenic removal rate. The precipitate resulted from fish bone reaction with AMD seems to be biological sludge type while that resulted from apatite with AMD is inorganic solid which can settle easily compared with the biological sludge and can be cemented by gypsum. As the results, apatite can be used as a precipitant for the polluted mine waters showing wide range of pH and fish bone can be used for highly contaminated AMD.

본 논문은 광산산성배수(AMD)에서 철 및 알루미늄 제거 효과가 입증된 인회석을 이용하여 ARD (Acid Rock Drainage)에서의 비소저감 능력을 알아보고 고품위 석회석과 정화효율을 비교하기 위하여 실내실험을 실시하고 그 결과를 이용 인회석 배수로를 설계하는 것을 연구목적으로 하고 있다. 실험결과, pH, 비소제거율 및 석회석/인회석의 용해량은 유속이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 유속이 0.6 ml/min/kg 정도에서 인회석은 침출수 중 비소를 100% 제거하는 것으로 확인되었다. 유속에 따른 용해율은 인회석이 석회석보다 10배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a laboratory test on arsenic reduction efficiency for ARD (Acid Rock Drainage) using limestone and apatite, and to design an apatite drain system. As a result of the laboratory test, results of this study show that pH, arsenic removal ratio, and dissolution amount of limestone ＆ apatite are inversely proportional to flow rates, and apatite removes 100％ of arsenic at 0.6 ml/min/kg flow rate. It is supposed that dissolution rate of apatite is ten times higher than that of limestone. The arsenic compounds are assumed to be Johnbaumnite, and/or Ca-arsenic hydrate. According to the results of the laboratory test, apatite drain system is designed as follow; Sixty two tons of apatite will be needed per one year and six months, and the precipitates will be removed from the precipitation pond per 3 months.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate laboratory experiments on arsenic and cadmium removal from tailings using apatite at the Ulsan Abandoned Iron Mine, and to develop a stabilization technique. The results of this study show that the permeability is decreased proportionally to the amount of apatite when it is added below 8%, while this is almost constant when the amount of apatite is added above 10%. The water extraction test from tailings using deionized water for several days shows that pH (7.4-8.4) is almost constant or slightly increased when apatite is added below 8%, while it is slightly decreased when apatite is added above 10%. According to TCLP test, reduction of concentrations of heavy metals in leachate is proportional to amount of apatite added. It seems that precipitates generated from leachate-apatite chemical reaction are not redissolved. As a result, cadmium and arsenic in leachate is mostly removed when apatite is added above 10%, and it is suggested that a proper technique should be selected for field application because either mixed or layered method shows almost same removal efficiencies of cadmium and arsenic in tailings.

An active apatite drainage system has been developed at the Goro abandoned mine, comprising a grit cell, a reaction cell, and a precipitation pond. Leachate from an abandoned adit and tailing ponds is collected in a pipeline and is transported to the apatite drainage system under the influence of the hydraulic gradient. The results of a laboratory experiment performed in 2004 indicate that the reaction cell requires 38.8 ton/year of apatite and that precipitate will have to be removed from the precipitation pond every 3 months. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a laboratory test on the efficiency of limestone and apatite in removing arsenic from ARD (acid rock drainage), and to evaluate the suitability of materials for use as a precipitant for the leachate treatment disposal system. The laboratory tests show that the arsenic removal ratios of limestone and apatite are 67.4%-98.3%, and the arsenic removal ratio of apatite is inversely proportional to its grain size. The arsenic compounds are assumed to be Johnbaumnite and Ca-arsenic hydrate. Therefore, apatite and phosphorous limestone can be used as a precipitant for the removal of arsenic, although it is difficult to remove arsenic from ARD when it occurs in low concentrations.

The purposes of this study are to examine a field test on heavy metal removal efficiency for AMD(Acid Mine Drainage) using fish bone and apatite, and to compare those results of the laboratory & the field tests. The duration of the field test was about one month and flow rates of AMD varied from 2.53 l/min to 12.8 l/min. From the result of the field test, removal efficiencies of apatite and those of fish bone are high for As, Fe, and Pb while those of fish born is higher than those of apatite far Al, Cd, Cu and Zn which are similar to the result of the previous laboratory test. In particular, average arsenic removal efficiency of apatite is higher$(84\%)$ than that of fish bone$(75\%)$ like the result of the previous laboratory test. In case of precipitates of phosphate compounds which are generated from chemical reaction between apatite/fish bone and AMD, those generated from apatite/AMD reactionform powder-shape while those created from fish bone/AMD reaction seem to be sludge. Therefore, apatite will be used as a precipitant for mine drainages having wide range of pH based on previous studies while fish bone will be applied as a precipitantfor AMD having lower PH and high concentration of heavy metals.

The purpose of this work is to develope sodium-containing nonstoichiometric apatitic coatings on solid substrate. The apatitic coatings prepared at different concentrations of sodium salt indicated that the presence of sodium ions exerted significant effects on the physicochemical properties of the apatitic coating including surface morphology, chemical state, and Ca/P ratio. The variation of these properties was sustained up to 0.01 mM of sodium ion concentration. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus was varied from 2.18 to 2.03 which indicated the apatitic coating prepared in this study was calcium-rich nonstoichiometric apatite. The structure of all the samples appeared to be low crystalline. In the presence of sodium ion within the apaptitic coating, the adhesion of human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells was significantly promoted. On the other hand, the proliferation of the cells on the apatitic coatings was decreased with the increase of sodium ions. This reverse response of SaOS-2 cells indicates that the interaction between SaOS-2 and apatitic surface triggered considerable changes in intracellular mechanisms including cellular signal transductions.

치아인회석, 키토산, 시아노아크릴레이트 등의 생분해성 생체재료를 이용해 새로운 생체흡수성 골시멘트를 개발하고자 하였다. 이들 골시멘트들에 대해서 중합온도, 응고시간 등의 조작특성과 압축강도, 전단강도 등의 물성을 분석하였다. 특히, 치아인회석과 키토산의 미립가루와 부틸 시아노아크릴레이트의 강력접착제를 이용한 시멘트(B)에 대해서는 직접 접촉방법과 XTT 방법을 통해 세포독성을 분석하였고, 또한 쥐를 이용한 동물실험에서 시멘트(B)의 처리그룹에 따라 생체적합성을 분석하였다. 시아노아크릴레이트를 이용한 골시멘트의 최대중합온도는 약 33$^{\circ}C$, 조작(응고)시간은 3-6분, 압축강도는 약 15-25㎫, 전단강도는 약 0.4-l.7 ㎫를 나타내었다. 첨가제로 사용된 Lipiodol은 골시멘트의 주사성과 강력접착제의 초기 중합지연도를 높였고, 특히 송진가루는 시아노아크릴레이트의 초기중합을 지연시켰다. 시아노아크릴레이트를 이용한 시멘트(B)의 세포독성을 분석한 결과, 대부분의 처리 그룹에서 낮게 나타났고, 특히 키토산과 치아인회석을 사용한 경우 각각 세포 독성이 더 낮게 나타났다. 그리고 골시멘트(B)의 동물 생체적합성 실험의 방사선상 및 조직학적 분석에서도 뼈 형성 및 결합이 우수하게 나타났다.
