The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of soil neutralizing treatments on soil characteristics and growth of Aster koraiensis in the acid soil of abandoned metal mine for selection of proper neutralizer. The most effective neutralizers were acid mine drainage sludge, waste lime + oyster and compost. Those neutralizing treatments showed promoting growth of Aster koraiensis. According to this study, it is applicable of acid mine drainage sludge, waste lime + oyster and compost to neutralize acid soil for rehabilitation in abandoned metal mine. However, follow-up study is necessary to calculate proper ratio of each neutralizer.

Acid mine drainage(AMD) is one of the most serious environmental concerns associated with the mining industry around the world. The objective of this study is to assess the potential of sewage sludge as a carbon source for sulfate reducing bacteria and waste lime and steel slag as a neutralize agent for acid mine drainage bioremediation for use in permeable reactive materials. The study was performed using synthetic AMD in six column experiments. The effluent solution was systematically analysed throughout the experiments. The results of the study indicated that sewage sludge, waste lime and steel slag were the most effective for the AMD treatment as a permeable reactive materials.

This study assessed the feasibility of coal mine drainage sludge (CMDS) as a stabilizing agent for mercury contaminated soil through pot experiments and batch tests. In the pot experiments with 43 days of lettuce growth, the bioavailability of mercury in the amended soil and mercury content of the lettuce were decreased by 46% and 50%, respectively. These results were similar to those of the soil amended with the sulfide compound (FeS) generally used for mercury stabilization. Thus, CMDS could be an attractive mercury stabilizer in terms of industrial by-product recycling. Batch tests were conducted to examine mercury fractionation including reactions between the soil and acetic acid. The result showed that some elemental fraction changed to strongly bounded fraction rather than residual (HgS) fraction. This made it possible to conclude that mercury adsorption on oxides in CMDS was the major mechanism of stabilization.

Lime has been used for the neutralization of acidic waste because it is cheap and available in large quantities. The resulting sludge often contains a considerable amount of unreacted lime due to alkali overdosing, even during automatic neutralization processes, which mainly arises from the poor solubility of lime. The sludge cake from lime neutralization of Ilkwang Mine also contained high percentages of calcium and magnesium. The elemental content of the sludge cake was compared with those obtained from a simulation of the lime neutralization facility installed at Ilkwang Mine. A Goldsim^® model estimated the degree of lime overdosing to be 19.1% based on the fractions of ferrous oxide. The analysis suggests that resolubilization of aluminum hydroxide could occur in the settling basin, in which pH exceeded 10 due to the continued dissolution of the overdosed lime. The present study demonstrated that chemical analysis of sludge combined with process simulation could provide a reasonable estimate of mass balance and chemistry in a neutralization facility for acid mine drainage.

산성광산배수(Acid mine drainage; AMD)를 처리하기 위한 자연정화시설의 반응조는 긴 체류시간을 위해 넓은 면적이 요구되며, 집중호우로 인해 유량이 급격히 늘어나는 여름에는 체류시간 부족으로 반응이 충분히 일어나지 못하고 많은 오염물질이 유출수로 빠져나가는 현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 부지 및 환경 특성으로 인해 넓은 면적이 요구되는 자연정화시설을 설치하기에 어려움이 있는 폐광산의 AMD에 응집제를 사용하여 빠른 시간 내에 오염물질을 침전시키고 탁도를 개선하는 연구를 진행하였다. W광산에서 배출되는 AMD에 무기응집제 PAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride)와 유기응집제인 PAM (Polyacrylamide) 성분이 포함된 고분자응집제를 사용하여 AMD의 상등수 및 여액의 중금속 농도와 침전된 슬러지의 형태를 파악하기 위해 입도분석, ICP-OES, SEM-EDS 분석을 실시하였다.

In the South Korea, 47% of abandoned mines are suffering from the mining hazards such as the mine drainage (MD), the mine tailings and the waste rocks. Among them the mine drainage which has a low pH and the high concentration of heavy metals can directly contaminate rivers or soil and cause serious damages to human health. The natural/artificial treatment facilities by using neutralizers and coagulants for the mine drainage have been operated in domestic and most of heavy metals in mind drainage are precipitated and removed in the form of metal hydroxide, alumino-silicate or carbonate, generating a large amount of mine drainage treated sludge ('MDS' hereafter) by-product. The MDS has a large surface area and many functional groups, showing high efficiency on the fixation of heavy metals. The purpose of this study is to develop a ingenious heavy metal stabilizer that can effectively stabilize arsenic (As) and heavy metals in soil by recycling the MDS (two types of MDS: the acid mine drainage treated sludge (MMDS) and the coal mine drainage treated sludge (CMDS)). Various analyses, toxicity evaluations, and leaching reduction batch experiments were performed to identify the characteristics of MDS as the stabilizer for soils contaminated with As and heavy metals. As a result of batch experiments, the Pb stabilization efficiency of both of MDSs for soil A was higher than 90% and their Zn stabilization efficiencies were higher than 70%. In the case of soil B and C, which were contaminated with As, their As stabilization efficiencies were higher than 80%. Experimental results suggested that both of MDSs could be successfully applied for the As and heavy metal contaminated soil as the soil stabilizer, because of their low unit price and high stabilization efficiency for As and hevry metals.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies using various industrial wastes for heavy metal stabilization in soil were conducted in order to find out new alternative amendments. The acid mine drainage sludge(AMDS) contains lots of metal oxides(hydroxides) that may be useful for heavy metal stabilization not only waste water treatment but also soil remediation. The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of acid mine drainage sludge for heavy metals stabilization in soils METHODS AND RESULTS: Alkali soil contaminated with heavy metals was collected from the agricultural soils affected by the abandoned mine sites nearby. Three different amounts(1%, 3%, 5%) of AMDS were applied into control soil and contaminated soil. For determining the changes in the extractable heavy metals, $CaCl_2$ and Mehlich-3 were applied as chemical assessments for metal stabilization. For biological assessments, lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.) and chinese cabbage(Brassica rapa var. glabra) were cultivated and accumulation of heavy metals on each plant were determined. It was revealed that AMDS reduced heavy metal mobility and bioavailability in soil, which resulted in the decreases in the accumulation of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in each plant. CONCLUSION: Though the high level of heavy metal concentrations in AMDS, any considerable increase in the heavy metal availability was not observed with control and contaminated soil. In conclusion, these results indicated that AMDS could be applied to heavy metal contaminated soil as an alternative amendments for reducing heavy metal mobility and bioavailability.

산성광산배수 처리방법은 적극적 처리방식과 소극적 처리방식이 일반적으로 사용되고 있으며, 이때 발생되는 부산물인 슬러지는 국내에서 약 5천 톤/년으로 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 적극적 처리방식 중 물리·화학적 처리방식으로 정화 후 발생되는 슬러지의 특성을 조사하여 재활용 가능여부를 검토하기 위함이다. 5개소(D, H, S, T, Y) 수질정화시설의 슬러지의 특성을 물리·화학적 분석을 통해 검토하였다. 그 결과 pH는 pH 5.86 ~ pH 7.89로 측정되었고, 수분함량은 51 % ~ 82 %로 분석되었으며, 입자크기는 대부분 25 ㎛보다 작은 미립자로 구성되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. ICP-OES를 이용한 슬러지 내 무기물질 분석결과, Al, Fe, Mn의 농도범위는 각각 1,189 mg/kg ~ 129,344 mg/kg, 106,132 mg/kg ~ 338,011 mg/kg, 3,472 mg/kg ~ 11,743 mg/kg로 조사되어 고농도로 존재함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그 외 무기물질 중 중금속류에 대해서는 T-슬러지는 As와 Zn, D-슬러지는 Cd, H-슬러지는 Ni, S-슬러지는 Zn, Y-슬러지는 Cd의 농도가 토양오염우려기준을 초과하였다. 또한 슬러지의 용출 특성을 알기위해 폐기물 용출시험(KSLT) 및 TCLP 시험을 진행하였다. 슬러지 재활용시 용출되어 지하수에 미치는 영향 확인을 위해 지하수 수질기준(생활용수) 20개 항목에 대하여 수행하였다. 용출시험결과 특정유해물질 16개 항목에서 모두 불검출로 확인되었으며, 일반항목 4개 항목에 대해서는 모두 생활용수 기준치 이내로 만족하였다. XRD, SEM-EDS의 분석결과, 슬러지는 주로 방해석, 석영의 패턴을 보였으며, 높은 Fe, O의구성비율로철수산화물이높은비중을차지하는것으로보였다. 이를 통해서 비매체접촉형 방식의 재활용의 가능성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 석탄광산 배수(CMD)를 전기정화법으로 처리 시 발생되는 슬러지를 흡착제로 금속광산 산성배수(AMD)중 중금속 처리 시 pH와 온도변화에 따른 중금속 흡착 거동을 연구하고자 하였다. 실험결과 CMDS의 pH$_{zero\;point\; charge}$:(pH$_{zpc}$)는 5로 나타났다. pH영향의 경우 구리, 아연, 카드뮴, 철은 pH 증가에 따라 제거율은 증가하였고, 구리의 경우 흡착량은 pH와 상관없이 0.64 mg g$^{-1}$ sludge로 나타났다. pH 5 이상일 때 기타 중금속 흡착량은 pH3일 때의 1.1 배로 나타났고 크롬의 경우 pH 7 이상에서 다소 증가하였는데 이는 크롬이 $Cr(OH)_{6}^{3-}$형태로 미량 용출되었기 때문이다. 온도의 영향에서 pH3일때 온도증가에 따라 중금속 흡착량은 증가하였고, 선택도Cd>Fe>Zn>Cu순으로 나타났다. pH 5이상에서 최대 흡착량(q$_{max}$)은 Cu와 Zn의 경우 각각 2.747mg g$^{-1}$와 2.525mg g$^{-1}$로 더 이상의 흡착이 일어나지 않아 온도의 영향을 받지 않은 것으로 판단된다.
