In order to investigate the contamination level and seasonal variation of heavy metals and evaluate the bioavailability of toxic elements, environmental geochemical survey was undertaken at the Dogok Au-Ag-Cu mine area. The main pollution sources in the area were suggested as tailings, mine waste materials and mine water. Elevated levels of $140{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg{\;}As,{\;}107{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg{\;}Cd,{\;} 3017{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg{\;}Cu,{\;}12926{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg{\;}Pb,{\;}9094{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg$ Zn(before rainy season) were found in mine tailings. Concentrations of heavy metals in farmland soils exceeded normal level in nature soil (Bowen, 1979). The highest level of heavy metals was found in water samples near the mine tailing dumps regarded as a main pollution source of toxic elements in the area. These concentrations decreased to downstream due to the effect of dilution. From the results of sequential extraction analyses for tailings and soils, non-residual forms of heavy metals were found, which indicate the contamination to be progressing by continuing weathering and oxidation. Cadmium and Zn would be of the highest mobility in all samples. The bioavailability of Cd, Cu, Zn and As using SBET analysis from paddy soils was $53.3{\%},{\;}46.5{\%},{\;}41.0{\%}$ and $37.0\%$, respectively. The farmland soil sample(S3) showed the highest total concentration and bioavailability of heavy metals.

폐광석에 함유되어 있는 총중금속함량을 측정하기 위한 전함량분석과 중금속을 다량 함유한 폐광석이 산성환경에 노출되어 있을 경우 중금속의 지화학적 거동을 파악하기 위해 산도를 변화시키면서 용출실험을 실시하였다. 전함량분석과 용출실험을 종합한 결과, 중금속 및 미량원소의 용출거동 특성을 크게 As-Co-Fe 형태와 Cu-Mn-Cd-Zn형태와 Pb로 구분할 수 있었다. As-Co-Fe의 용출특성은 약산성의 환경에서는 용출이 미약하나, 최종 pH 1.5이하의 강산성환경에서는 용출량이 급격하게 증가하며, Cu-Mn-Cd-Zn형태에서는 최초로 용해되는 pH가 5.0-3.0으로 As-Co-Fe 보다 다소 높았다. Pb는 다른 형태에 비해 상당히 적게 용출되었다 최종 용출된 함량과 관계없이 초기 용출이 발생하는 pH값을 기준으로 한 각 원소의 상대적인 이동성은 Mn =Zn>Cd=Cu>>Fe=Co>As>Pb 순서이며, 산성비는 Zn, Mn 및 Cu를 쉽게 용출시켜 이동도를 증가시킬 것으로 판단된다.

퇴적물에 오염된 중금속의 지화학적 특성을 규명하고자, 연속추출방법을 이용하여 구성광물 과의 지구화학적 수반관계와 산성화에 따른 중금속 용출특성을 연구하였다. 용출실험과 연속추출 실험을 종합한 연구결과, 서울시 도로변의 하수퇴적물이 산성비와 같은 요인에 의해 pH 5.0정도의 약산성환경과 접촉하였을 때 중금속의 상대적인 용출특성은 Zn>>Cd$\geq$Co>Ni>Cu$\geq$Pb>Cr이며, 원소별 용출량은 Zn 40-90%, Cd 10-30%, Co 15-25%, Ni 5-25%, Cu 0-20%, Pb 0% 및 Cr 0% 이었다. 하수퇴적물에 오염된 Zn, Cd, Cu 및 Ni의 용출은 매우 우려할 만한 수준이며, 수계의 물리화학적 변화(pH 등)에 따라 이들 원소의 일부분이 용해되어 지표수 및 강물을 오염시킬 것으로 예상된다.

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.

산업이 발달하고 도시화가 진행됨에 따라 다양한 형태의 중금속들이 인위적으로 생성, 배출되며 이들은 대기, 물 등의 이동 매체를 통하여 대기권, 수권, 토양권을 포함하는 지구화학적 환경으로 광범위하게 분산된다 이러한 중금속은 토양 오염 및 수질오염을 유발시키며 특히 토양과 분진 중의 중금속오염은 심각한 환경 오염현상 중의 하나이다. 도시에서의 분진 및 토양에 산재된 중금속류의 성질은 산업활동량, 인구밀집도, 자동차, 폐기물 등에 따라 그 원인이 다양하다. (중략)

In order to examine the degree of heavy metal pollutions around Samcheonpo and Youngkwang power plants, marine sediment samples were analyzed to determine heavy metal contents. Some of these sediment samples were also analyzed by using of a sequential extraction technique to know geochemical forms of the metals. The results showed that the spatial distribution of heavy metals coincided very well with those of mean grain size, carbonates and organic matters. The chemical speciation data using sequential extraction analysis also showed that a considerable amount of heavy metals except for Mn were bounded in the residual fraction, which mode of occurrence of heavy metals was generally interpreted as being the result of the lithogenic origin.

The geochemical experiments were carried out to investigate a removal effect of heavy metals in abdndoned metallic mine wastes, and to conceive a treatment techniques of them. In order to prevent contamination, experiment appature was made of acrylic acid resin and polyethylene which resist to acid and alkali. Experiment models are devided into four groups based on the system environments, distribution patterns and a kind of filling materials. The first group is background model(model I ) which is filled with waste only and opened to air. The second one is four layer group which is subdivided into two models, opened and closed systems, and the third mix group which is subdivided into three models based on mixing ratio of filling materials and system environment like a layered group. The forth is composed of two layer model, lower one composed of waste and upper one limestone chips. Solution drained from Model Ishows a high contents of heavy metals on the all terms of experiments. Among the models, however, the closed mix model V and Ⅶ show the most effective removal of heavy metals liberated from wastes. Models having different mixing ratios of filling materials on closed systems does not affect in heavy metal removal effect. But, the distribution patterns of filling materials affect very much on removal effect of heavy metals. The closed models with same constitution ratios and distribution patterns of filling materials show more and less effective removal to the open models.

중금속을 함유하는 폐수는 일반적으로 단일성분의 원소로 되어 있지 않고 여러 종류의 금속성분이나 유기물이 혼합된 상태로 발생되기 때문에 화학적인 중화나 분해로서 처리하기 곤란하므로 흡착성이 풍부한 광물질의 무기화학성분을 추출하여 흡착, 침전, 분리하는 방법을 이용할 수 있다. Aqua # 219는 폐수 처리용 약품으로 현재 사용하고 있는 설비를 일부 개조하거나 또는 기존설비를 그대로 사용하여 저렴한 가격으로 처리할 수 있는 중금속 흡착제이다.

Adsorption behavior of metal elements onto soil minerals such as illite, halloysite. zeolite(clinoptilolite). and goethite was comparatively investigated at $25^{\circ}C$ using pollutant water collected from a gold-bearing metal mine. Speciation of solutions reacted was determined by WATEQ4F program, indicating that most of metal ions exist as free ions and that there is little difference in chemical species and their relative abundances between initial soultion and reacted solutions. The experimental data exhibit that the adsorption extent of elements varies depending on mineral types and reaction time. The adsorption process practically took place within one hour, with Fe and As significantly removed from solutions. On the whole, halloysite is regarded as the most effective adsorbent among minerals used in the experiment. Adsorption properties of alkali elements do not consistent with a manner predicted from hydrated ionic radii.

To investigate geochemical characteristics of soil and atmospheric environments by anthropogenic source, we have analyzed and determined heavy metal concentrations of the surface soils beneath roadside trees and leaves of Platanus occidentalis from 52 points in Seoul during autumn 2001. For comparison of the contents of heavy metal for the soil and leaf, we have analyzed heavy metal contents of the surface soils beneath roadside trees and leaves from 2 points in rural area of Yesan during the same time period. The composition of heavy metals of soils are relatively high for Cd, Co, Cr and Ni in industrial area (IA, Industrial Area) and high for Cu, Pb and Zn in heavy traffic area (HTA, Heavy Traffic Area). The heavy metal contents of rural area in Seoul are higher than those in Yesan. The differences of chemical compositions between the washed and unwashed leaves are high for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in the HTA. The element couples of Cd-Co, Cr-Ni and Pb-Zn for the soils had shown a good correlation and their contamination sources could be similar. The relationship for Pb-Cu and Cu-Zn showed good correlation in Platanus leaves. The relationship between soils and unwashed leaves show a good correlation for Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn but low correlation for Cd, Co, Fe, Mn and Ni. It is thought that the Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn were derived from contaminants of soils, whereas Cd, Co, Fe, Mn and Ni were originated from atmospheric source. From the spatial variations of elements for soils and leaves, Ni and Cr were dominant in the soils of IA and Cd, Cu and Zn were dominant in those of HTA. The Contamination by Cd-Pb and Cu-Zn in unwashed leaves were analyzed to show similar patterns. Using the enrichment factors (EF) of heavy metals in unwashed leaves, the EF sequences were to be Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn, Co, Ni, Cd and Cr. We identified that Cu, Zn, Pb and Mn were most problematic of environmental hazard in Seoul.
