Seasonal variations in vertical distributions of metals were investigated in the contaminated paddy soils around Siheung Cu-Pb-Zn and Deokeum Au-Ag mines. Geochemical behavior of metals was also evaluated with respect to redox changes during the cultivation of rice. Two microcosms simulating the rice-growing paddy field were set up in the laboratory. The raw paddy soils from two sites showed differences in mineralogy, metal concentrations and gecochemical parameters, and it is suggested that high proportions of exchangeable fractions in metals may give high dissolution rates at Deokeum. In both microcosms of Siheung and Deokeum, redox differences between surface and subsurface of paddy soils were maintained during the flooded period of 18 weeks. Siheung soil had neutral to alkaline pH conditions, while strongly acidic conditions and high Eh values were found at the surface soil of Deokeum. The concentrations of dissolved Fe and Mn were higher in the subsurface pore waters than in interface and upper waters from both microcosms, indicating reductive dissolution under reducing conditions. On the contrary, dissolved Pb and Zn had high concentrations at the surface under oxidizing conditions. From the Siheung microcosm, release of dissolved metals into upper waters was decreased. presumably by the trap effect of Fe- and Mn-rich layers at the interface. However, in the Deokeum microcosm, significant amounts of Pb and Zn were released into upper water despite the relatively lower contents in raw paddy soil, and seasonal variations in the chemical fractionation of metals were observed between flooded and drained conditions. Under acidic conditions, rice may uptake high amounts of metals from the surface of paddy soils during the flooded periods, and increases of exchangeable phases may also increase the bioavailability of heavy metals in the drained conditions.

폐광석에 함유되어 있는 중금속 원소는 물리ㆍ화학적 환경의 변화에 따라서 안정화 되어 자연적으로 정화가 진행되거나 혹은 재 용출될 수 있어 중요한 오염원으로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 폐광석에 함유된 중금속이 흡착된 상태로 존재하는지, 광물형태(탄산염광물, 산화광물, 황산염광물 및 황화광물)로 존재하는지, 산화환경 혹은 환원환경에서 안정한 다른 광물의 결정 내에 치환된 형태로 존재하는 지를 규명하는 것은 물리화학적 환경변화에 따른 중금속의 거동(흡착반응, 탈착반응, 용해반응, 침전반응)을 예측할 수 있는 매우 유용한 평가 방법이라고 할 수 있다.

The effects and behaviors of heavy metals incoming from industrial by-products were investigated in cement clinker reaction. The raw meal containing 500 ppm of heavy metal ion such as Cu, Cd, Cr, and Pb was calcined at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Burnability index, fixation concentration of heavy metals in clinker, and apportionment ratio were analyzed. Pb had a minimum fixation concentration of under 5% and Cr had a maximum over 85%. The burnability of Cr containing clinker was lower than that of others as the result of higher value of 3.41% of free lime after calcination at $1450^{\circ}C$. Cu, Cd, and Pb had not any significant effects on the clinker reactitivity. The volatility of heavy metals produced lots of macropores and micropores in clinker and minerals. Cd and Cr were the major apportionments in alite and belite and Cu in interstitial phase. Pb was existed under the detection limit of EDAX analysis due to its higher volatility.

산업이 고도로 발달되고 공업화로 인한 자원 및 에너지의 무분별한 사용으로 산업전반에 걸쳐 배출되는 폐수 중에는 다양한 종류의 중금속 등이 포함되어 있어 사회적인 문제가 되고 있다. 특히, 환경을 고려하지 않은 화학물질의 남용은 폐수에 의한 수질의 중금속 오염을 가중시켜 왔으며, 이러한 중금속 중 크롬은 인간의 생리활성에 영향을 미치고 먹이사슬에 따라 축적되어 궁극적으로는 인간에게 질병을 유발시키는 중금속 중에 하나로서 국제사회로부터 커다란 관심을 불러 일으키고 있다[1]. (중략)

광미와 오염된 토양에 함유되어 있는 중금속은 물리ㆍ화학적 환경 변화에 따라 안정화되어 자연적으로 정화가 진행되거나, 혹은 재용출 될 수 있어 중요한 오염원으로 작용 할 수 있다. 따라서 중금속 원소의 존재형태를 규명하여 물리ㆍ화학적 환경 변화에 따른 중금속의 거동을 예측하고자 Tessier et al (1979)의 방법을 이용하여 연속추출을 수행하였다. 구룡광간의 광미와 오염된 토양에 함유된 중금속과 마량원소의 존재형태를 비교해 보면 Fe를 제외한 모든 원소의 존재형태가 안정상인 잔류형태로 존재하였다. Cd, Co, Cu 및 Pb의 경우 잔류형태 다음으로 비정질 산화광물형태로 수반된 형태도 중요한 존재 형태인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 Fe은 비정질 산화광물의 형태가 가장 우세한 것으로 나타났으며, 황화광물과의 결합형태가 상대적으로 우세한 경향을 보였다.

폐광된 금속광산의 폐광석 적치장, 선광시설, 광미장 등에는 폐광석과 황화광물의 분말이 그대로 방치되어 있어, 풍화작용에 기인된 황화광물의 산화과정에서 용해된 유해 중금속의 이동과 확산이 심각한 중금속 오염문제를 발생시키고 있다 그러므로, 황화광물의 산화작용에 의해 형성된 2차 광물에 대한 광물학적 연구는 유해 중금속의 물리$\cdot$화학적인 거동, 오염물질의 확산 등을 규제하고 있는 지구화학적 메카니즘 규명에 매우 중요한 자료가 되며, 폐광석 및 광미에 대한 복원 결정을 내리는데 있어 결정적인 판단 자료가 될 수 있다 (강민주, 2003).

Contaminated sediments more than 30 million/$m^3$ is generated from dredging work for harbours and coastal maintenance in Korea. Approximately 300 million/$m^3$ of sediments is dredged to deepen harbours and shipping lanes in US and of which $3{\sim}12million/m^3$ is highly contaminated. Although much is known about technologies for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil, much less is known about the treatment of contaminated sediment. In general, negatively charged fine particles will migrate towards positively charged system of electrodes under the influence of electrophoresis. However, the electrically induced migration of colloidal particles contaminated with heavy metals may be hindered by the positively charged heavy metal contaminants adsorbed onto the soil surfaces depending on the contamination level. This paper demonstrates settling behaviour of clayey soil by comparison with electrophoretic particle movement under the effects of heavy metal contamination, applied electric field strength, and its polarity changed by the electrode configuration.

We investigated the contamination and behavior of heavy metals in stream sediments within the watershed of Juam Reservoir. Many abandoned mines within the reservoir can act as a potential contaminant source for water quality. Heavy metal concentrations (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in stream sediments from watershed are very low, indicating that content of heavy metals in the sediments probably do not affect the water quality in Juam Reservoir. However Pb concentration in the stream sediments increases downward streams, suggesting the possible diffusion of Pb contamination. According to the leaching ratio for stream sediments at a strong acidic condition in the abandoned mine areas, the relative mobility for metals decreases in the order of Pb＞Zn=Cu＞Ni＞Cr, indicating that Pb can have a bad effect upon the water quality in Jum Reservoir. Moreover, if contaminated sediment is placed in the bottom of reservoir (i.e., reducing condition), the relative mobility of Pb is the highest, indicating that Pb in the bottom sediments can be leached to water at interface between water and sediment with changing in physicochemical conditions.

광미와 오염된 토양에 함유되어 있는 중금속 원소는 존재형태에 따라서 환경에 미치는 영향의 차이가 있다. 그러므로 중금속 원소의 존재형태를 규명하여 물리화학적 환경변화에 따른 중금속의 거동을 예측하고자 Tessier et al. (1979)의 방법을 이용하여 연속추출을 수행하였다. 청양광산과 서보광산의 광미를 비교하면, As와 Co는 두 광산 모두 잔류형태로 안정화되었다. Cd과 Zn은 서보광산의 광미가 청양광산의 광미보다 잔류형태가 더 우세하였다. Pb는 서보광산의 광미가 양이온교환형태로 존재하는 함량이 높고 청양광산의 광미도 양이온교환과 탄산염광물의 형태로 존재하는 함량이 높아 오염 확산의 우려가 있다. 서보광산의 오염된 토양의 경우, As, Co, Cd, Cu및 Zn는 대체로 안정한 형태였으나, Pb는 산화환경에서 불안정한 형태로 존재하였다.

The contents were investigated by the monitoring survey from the soils and tailings caused by numerous abandoned mines in Korea. Cause heavy metals due to abandoned metal mines are raising significant environmental problems. But it is an important key such as a leaching and a transfer mechanism to evaluate contamination levels caused by abandoned mines. In this study the column test was carried in order to calculate a leaching level from soils and tailings. It was demonstrated that the leaching of Pb, Cd and Mn was expressed with similar behaviors and that of As and Cu was expressed with similar behaviors. For Zn, the leaching behavior was shown a serious leaching level with 40 mg/kg during the 45days. This was explained by Zn high contents of soils Zn in a natural world and ORP conditions where the leaching of Zn was occurred easily. Hence it was necessary that the survey of ORP was a key as well as total contents for the management of abandoned metal mines. We could estimate the chemical forms of heavy metals using the physical index such as ORP and pH and reduce the risk from heavy metals caused by abandoned metal mines.
