In the present study analysed the physico chemical properties and distribution of heavy metal and also analysed the changes of heavy metal distribution by resuspension and properties of heavy metal release into sea water. From the experimental result showed sediment resuspension plays an important role in the release of heavy metals in coastal environment. Heavy metal release percentage was high in different mixing time of resuspension and different amounts of sediment due to resuspension of particulate matter.

Heavy metals which are present as trace elements in human body have been known to modify various enzymatic reaction. These metals can be essential or non-essential. Zinc, copper and calcium are essential in maintaining some biological processes, whereas non-essential metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury produce accumulatve toxic effect. Cadmium accumulated in pancreas can cause toxicity and damage of pancreatic cells, thereby influencing CHO metabolism. Lead compounds are known to produce toxic effects on the kidney, digestive system and brain fellowed by inhibition of activity of ${\rho}-aminolevulinic$ acid and biosynthesis of hemoproteins and cytochrome. Evidence has been accumulated that zinc not only acts as a cofactor in enzyme reaction but also prevents toxic effect induced by heavy metal such as copper and cadmium. To demonstrate the effect of heavy metals on pancreatic secretion, part of uncinate pancreas was taken and incubated in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer with heavy metals used. Additional treatment with CCK-OP was performed when needed. After incubation during different period of time, medium was analyzed for amylase activity using Bernfeld's method. The present study was attempted in order to elucidate the effect of several kinds of heavy metal on exocrine pancreatic secretion in vitro. The results obtained are as follows: 1) CCK-OP stimulated significantly amylase release from pancreatic fragments in vitro. 2) CCK-OP response of amylase release from pancreatic fragments was inhibited by treatmant with cadmium, especially high doses of cadmium. 3) CCK-OP response of amylase release from pancreatic fragments was inhibited when pretreated with $10^{-4}M$ copper chloride. 4) Lead chloride at the concentration of $10^{-3}M\;and\;10^{4}M$ stimulated the basal amylase release in vitro but CCK-OP response did not augment by lead chloride. 5) Zine chloride did not affect amylase release from pancreatic fragment in vitro. From the results mentioned above, it is suggested that CCK-OP response was inhibited it the amylase release from pancreatic fragments pretreated with cadmium and copper chloride.

오염물질을 제거하기 위한 방법 중 하나인 석회 처리를 통하여 청초호 표층 퇴적물에 함유된 중금속의 존재 형태 변화와 환경변화시 수층으로의 용출가능성을 알아보았다. 연속추출 방법을 사용하여 중금속의 화학적 형태를 분석하였고 수층으로의 용출 가능성은 흡착된 형태와 공침된 형태의 합으로 하였다. 석회 처리 전의 청초호 퇴적물에 함유된 Cd과 Cu 및 Zn의 존재형태는 호수 바닥과 같은 혐기성 상태에서 안정된 산화성 형태가 많았으나 석회 처리 시료에서는 이 부분의 비율이 줄어든 반면 용출되기 쉬운 부분인 흡착된 형태와 공침된 형태의 비율이 증가하였다. 이는 석회 첨가로 인한 공극수의 pH상승과 대기중에 노출로 인한 산화에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 수층으로 이동 가능한 부분의 비율은 Cd의 경우 석회함량 15%, Pb은 10%, Cu와 Zn은 20%에서 높게 나타나 중금속으로 오염된 퇴적물의 석회 처리는 퇴적물에 함유된 중금속의 용출을 증가시킬 가능성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 B광역시 북항을 대상으로 해양 퇴적물의 물리화학적 특성과 오염도를 평가하고, 해양 퇴적물의 재부상 시중금속의 용출특성 및 생태적 위험성을 평가하였다. 북항 퇴적물의 주요 구성성분은 미세 실트질 및 점토질이었으며, 유기물질과 산휘발성 황화물이 높게 포함되어 퇴적물 내 함유된 중금속으로 인한 생태적 위험도가 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 회분식 실험결과, 퇴적물의 재부상으로 인한 중금속 용출속도는 납>>구리>크롬>>아연>카드뮴 순이었으며, 중금속 용출은 금속 황화물의 산화반응에 기인하는 것으로 평가되었다. 중금속은 퇴적물의 재부상 약 1시간 내에 급격히 용출되었으며, 재부상에 의한 황화물의 산화는 퇴적물에 존재하는 중금속의 광물내 잔류분율을 증가시키고, 유기물과 결합된 중금속의 분율을 감소시킬 뿐만 아니라 퇴적물에 함유된 중금속의 다른 결합분율의 변화에 영향을 미쳤다. 퇴적물의 재부상에 의하여 해수로 용출되는 중금속의 용출량은 재부상 시간, 금속 황화물의 산화속도와 재부상하는 퇴적물의 농도에 영향을 받았다.

The species of four heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb) associated with sediments (viz exchangeable, carbonates, reducible, organic and residual fractions) were determined with respect to the particle sizes and depths at four locations of the lower Kumho river. In the exchangeable fraction, 3.7~19.52% of Ni and 2.8~14.81% of Pb were found, and in the carbonates fraction 2.12~19.43% of Ni and 1.39~15.42% of Pb were found. The reducible fraction retained about 8.66~44.93% of Cr, 0.41~9.79% of Cu, 17.38~35.74% of Ni and 9.5~44.89% of Pb. In the organic fraction about 0~21.06% of Cr, 2.95~35.74% of Cu, 0~14.66% of Ni and 0~10.65% of Pb were found. The residual fraction retained about 52.6~83.53% of Cr, 63.86~86.39% of Cu, 39.66~66.16% of Ni and 39.97~71.75% of Pb. The order of release or mobility of heavy metals was Ni > Pb > Cr > Cu. Mobile fraction of heavy metals by particle sizes (1.0~0.5 mm and 0.5~0.25 mm) was found to be higher in particle sizes 1.0~0.5 mm than that of 0.5~0.25 mm. The release or mobility of heavy metals by depths (0~5 cm, 5~10 cm and 10~15 cm) was found to be higher in the upper sediments than in the lower sediments, except Cu.

Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, was transplanted reciprocally between contaminated site (St. STP) and relatively less contaminated site (St. UB) in Onsan Bay, Korea in order to estimate heavy metal accumulation and release. Transplanted and indigenous mussels were collected 8 times over 108 days deployment at both sites and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn using ICP/MS. Cu and Zn concentration did not show any significant differences between transplanted and indigenous mussels throughout the experiment period, although dissolved Cu and Zn concentrations in seawater were significantly higher at contaminated site. Pb accumulated rapidly, while Cd did not show any accumulation in the mussels transplanted from St. UB to St. STP. These accumulation patterns might reflect the variation of dissolved metal concentration; dissolved Pb concentration was significantly higher in St. STP than St. UB, while dissolved Cd concentration was similar between both sites throughout this experiment. Release of Cd and Pb in the mussels transplanted from St. STP to St. UB was not significant during the transplantation period. The levels and variation of Pb and Cd concentrations in mussels transplanted from St. STP to St. UB were similar to those in the indigenous mussels at St. STP throughout the period. Therefore, Cd and Pb accumulated in indigenous mussels may indicate the integrated metals throughout their lives, not responding to the present status of seawater because the release of accumulated metals in mussels occurs very slowly when the seawater metal levels are lowered. On the other hand, since the transplanted mussels can respond immediately to the levels of metals in seawater, it may be suggested that the present status of heavy metals in seawater can be only acquired from the metal levels of mussels transplanted from clean environments.

To test the potential effects of extracellular electron shuttles (EES) on the rate and extent of heavy metal release from contaminated soils during microbial iron reduction, we created anaerobic batch systems with anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) as a surrogate of EES, and with contaminated soils as mixed iron (hydr)oxides and microbial sources. Two types of soils were tested: Zn-contaminated soil A and As/Pb-contaminated soil B. In soil A, the rate of iron reduction was fastest in the presence of AQDS and > 3500 mg/L of total Fe(II) was produced within 2 d. This suggests that indigenous microorganisms can utilize AQDS as EES to stimulate iron reduction. In the incubations with soil B, the rate and extent of iron reduction did not increase in the presence of AQDS likely because of the low pH (< 5.5). In addition, less than 2000 mg/L of total Fe(II) was produced in soil B within 52 d suggesting that iron reduction by subsurface microorganisms in soil B was not as effective as that in soil A. Relatively high amount of As (~500 mg/L) was released to the aqueous phase during microbial iron reduction in soil B. The release of As might be due to the reduction of As-associated iron (hydr)oxides and/or direct enzymatic reduction of As(V) to As(III) by As-reducing microorganisms. However, given that Pb in liquid phase was < 0.3 mg/L for the entire experiment, the microbial reduction As(V) to As(III) by As-reducing microorganisms has most likely occurred in this system. This study suggests that heavy metal release from contaminated soils can be strongly controlled by subsurface microorganisms, soil pH, presence of EES, and/or nature of heavy metals.

중금속으로 오염된 부지는 다양한 공법으로 복원이 가능하나 오염부지가 비교적 넓은 경우 중금속을 부지로부터 제거하는 적극적 공법은 기술적 어려움과 비용의 문제로 쉽게 사용할 수 없다. 그러므로 토양에서 중금속의 용출을 차단 및 지연하는 안정화 공법이 보다 현실적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 비교적 큰 규모의 중금속 오염토양인 제련소 오염토양을 대상으로 magnetite, hematite, zeolite-A, zeolite-X, zeolite-Y, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide, manganese dioxide, fish bone, sodium phosphate 등의 다양한 안정화제의 적용성실험을 수행하였다. 비소, 납, 구리, 니켈, 아연 등의 다중 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 경우 1종의 안정화제로 안정화가 어려우며 기존 연구에서 보고된 특정 중금속의 안정화에 우수한 성능을 갖는 안정화제의 경우에도 다른 중금속의 안정화에 기여하지 못하거나 용출을 촉진하는 경향을 보였다. 시간이 경과함에 따라 안정화 효율이 증가하였다. 니켈과 납의 경우 calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide 등의 안정화제가 효과가 있으며 특히 연속추출에서 물에 의한 추출부분에서 안정화 효율이 높았다. 구리의 경우 manganese oxide, zeolite 등이 효과가 크며 연속추출에서 exchangeable 추출부분에서 안정화 효율이 높았다. 비소의 경우 magnetite에 의한 안정화 효과를 보이며 대부분의 metal oxide와 phosphate 에 의해 용출이 촉진되는 부작용을 보였다. 그러므로 다양한 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 경우 2종 이상의 안정화제를 사용하여야 하며 역효과를 일으키는 안정화제의 사용을 배제하고 중금속의 농도에 따라 사용량 및 안정화 기간을 달리하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Recycling of reclaimed concrete (RC) is very important in the management of construction and demolition wastes. Most of RC is utilized for land-filling after crushing in this country. In this study, a series of elution experiments were conducted to investigate the type and amount of pollutants released from the crushed RC. Most water quality parameters including heavy metals and some organic compounds were below standards for drinking water. Some of heavy metals such as As, Cd, Pb, Hg were detected in 0.5 N H2S04 solution after 24-hour immersing RC, which was conducted for evaluating a long term release effect. The concentration of the heavy metals were higher than the drinking water standards. The results also showed significant adsorption of heavy metals by crushed Re. Potential risks, based on the result of this study were not high in using crushed RC for land-filling. Appropriate management of RC would reduce the risk, for example the separation of hazardous materials from construction wastes. Long term evaluations for the sites of land filled with RC would be required to assess the environmental impacts.

Electrocoagulation (EC) technique is applied for the treatment of wastewater containing heavy metals ions such as nickle (Ni), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) by using sacrificial anodes corrode to release active coagulant flocs usually aluminium or iron cations into the solution. During electrolytic reactions hydrogen gas evolve at the cathode. All the experiments were carried out in Batch mode. The tank was filled with synthetic wastewater containing heavy metals and efficiency of electro-coagulation in combination with aluminum and iron electrodes were investigated for removal of such metals. Several parameters, such as contact time, pH, electro-coagulant concentration, and current density were optimized to achieve maximum removal efficiency (%). The concentrations of heavy metals were determined by using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). It is found that the electro-coagulation process has potential to be utilized for the cost-effective removal of heavy metals from wastewater specially using iron electrodes in terms of high removal efficiencies and operating cost.
