망간단괴, 망간각, 해저열수광상 개발에서 필연적으로 발생하게되는 선광잔류물은 방대한 양과 잠재적인 독성으로 인해 관심이 증가하고 있지만, 아직까지 선광잔류물의 발생량, 물리·화학적 특성, 환경 유해성, 해양생태계에 미치는 영향 등에 관한 정보가 부족한 실정이다. 최근에는 선광잔류물의 친환경적인 처리 중요성이 인식되고, 그에 따른 저감/처리법이 강구되고 있다. 심해저 광물자원개발 시 선광잔류물이 선상에서 처리되지 못할 경우, 선광잔류물의 육상으로 운반 비용이 발생하고 육상 환경오염 문제를 해결해야하는 경우가 발생하게 된다. 따라서, 한국해양과학기술원에서는 1) 오염인자/환경영향, 2) 환경/생물 위해성 영향, 3) 입자 확산, 4) 선광, 5) 저감/처리(정화)를 친환경적인 선상에서의 선광잔류물 처리를 위한 주요 핵심 요소로 구분하여 선광잔류물의 유해성, 해양생태계에 미치는 영향, 오염 입자 확산 모델, 선광 및 정화처리 후보기술 등에 대한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 심해저광물자원 개발과정에서 발생할 수 있는 환경영향에 대한 과학적인 증거 확보를 통해 환경문제를 최소화 할 수 있는 연구 기반을 제시할 수 있고, 이는 다른 기원의 오염물 및 규제없이 방치되고 있는 육상 폐광산의 누출수 처리에도 적용할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

Geochemical study was carried out to find out the distribution of metals and cyanide in soil in the vicinity of the abandoned Keum-Jung mine. Chemical analysis showed that content of As in soil around tailings exceeded 15mg/kg, Korean standard of soil contamination in the farm land. That means the contamination of soil by As is due to input of tailings. According to total decomposition of tailings, As was highly concentrated in tailings. However the water in tailings impoundment was changed to acidic and contaminated by metal and sulfate because the tailings in the top of the tailings impoundment had been oxidized. Acid mine drainage contaminated the water course in the vicinity of the paddy soils. The proper measures are required to prevent contamination of the soil and water in the vicinity of the Keum-Jung mine.

The tailings piled in abandoned mines are well-known potential sources of soil contamination. Hydrated limes were applied as cementing materials to solidify heavy metal contaminated tailings for the purpose of reducing their toxicity and migration rates. The optimum mixing ratio of tailings, hydrated lime, and water was determined through a preliminary test. The mixtures of mine tailings and hydrated lime solidified through pozzolanic reaction were tested for their durability against repeated freezing and thawing processes. After repeated freezing and thawing, the uniaxial compressive strengths of all the solidified mixture specimens decreased in comparison with those before test but still higher than $3.5kgf/cm^2$, the standard recommended for land reclamation solids by EPA(Environmental Protection Agency), which suggested that hydrated lime be a potential material to treat the abandoned mine tailings for the environmental purpose.

This study is aimed to prepare the effective detail survey methods(Phase II) of abandoned metal mines through the contamination assessment for mine types and facilities in the abandoned metal mine areas. The study sites of 12 abandoned mines are located in Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do and those were chosen among 310 sites that the Phase II survey was conducted from 2007 to 2009 after considering the results of Phase I for abandoned mines scattered all over the country. 12 study sites were classified into four types; Type I sites only have pit mouth. Type II sites have pit mouth and mine-waste field. Type III sites have pit mouth and tailing sorting field. Type IV sites have pit mouth, tailing sorting field and concentrator(s). In forest land, paddy soil and farm land of Type I, As and Cd were showed average concentration, and Cu and Pb were high on the pit mouth area in one mines where the pit mouth was developed within 500 m. In the mines of Type II, Cu and Pb were showed average concentration too, but As and Cd were slightly high in pit mouth and mine-waste field. The mines of Type III which had grinding particle process through physical separation milling or hitting showed similar tendency with Type II. However, mines of Type IV pit mouth, mine-waste field and showed various results depending on defining the contamination sources. For example, if contamination source was pit mouth, the mixed results of Type I, II, II were showed. In tailing sorting field which was regarded as the most important source and having high mobility, however, if there were no facilities or it was difficult to access directly, field sampling was missed occasionally during phase I and phase II survey. For that reason, the assessment for tailing sorting field is missed and it leads to completely different results. In the areas of Type I mines, the concentration of heavy metals exceeded precautionary standards of soil contamination or not within 1,000 meters of pit mouth. Nickel(Ni) was the largest factor of the heavy metal contamination in this type. The heavy metals except Arsenic(As) were shown high levels of concentration in Type II areas, where pit mouth and mine-waste field were operated for making powder in upriver region; therefore, to the areas in the vicinity of midstream and downstream, the high content of heavy metals were shown. The tendency of high level of heavy metals and toxic materials contained in flotation agent used during sorting process were found in soil around sorting and tailing field. In the abandoned-pit-mouth area, drygrinding area and tailing sorting field area, the content of Cupper(Cu) and Zinc(Zn) were higher than other areas. Also, the contaminated area were larger than mine reclamation area(2,000 m) and the location of tailing sorting field was one of the important factors to estimate contaminated area.

연구의 목적은 옥동천 유역 토양의 중금속의 존재형태와 존재형태에 따른 중금속의 오염지수를 산정하는데 있다. 토양채취는 경작지 토양을 대상으로 하였고 토양은 물리적 특성과 이화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 경작지 토양의 pH는 5.2에서 7.6을, 총질소 함량과 loss on ignition은 각각 0.6∼2.5%, 1.9∼12.9%를 나타냈다. 경작지 토양의 중금속 농도는 폐광된 탄광지역의 논토양에서 높게 나타났으며, 총 중금속의 농도는 Zn > Pb > Ni > Cu > Cd 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 토양환경기준치와 비오염 경작지 토양의 중금속 농도 보다 높게 나타나는 경향을 보였으며, 총 중금속 중 일부분이 이동 가능성이 있는 부분으로 나타났다. 토양오염 평가지수(SPAI)는 조사지 토양에서 Non polluted와 Moderately polluted를 나타냈으며, 이러한 결과는 비 이동성 형태보다는 이동성 형태의 값이 났게 나타났다. 경작지 토양에서 중금속 존재형태와 SPAI 값은 중금속에 의한 오염과 식물체에 미치는 잠재적인 유해한 결과를 얻을수 있다. 따라서 결과에서 보여진 폐탄광지역의 토양을 복원하기 위해서 신속한 대책이 필요하다.

The Imgok Creek is located in the Gangreung coal field, which has been known that sulfides are more abundant than other coal fields in Korea, and it has been severly contaminated by acid mine drainage (AMD) discharging from the abandoned coal mines, such as the Youngdong, the Dongduk and the Waryong coal mines. The purposes of this study are to synthetically assess the contamination of natural water, stream sediment and cultivated soils, and to provide the basic data for AMD treatment. Geochemical samples were collected in December, 1996 (dry season) and April, 1997 (after three day's rainfall). TDS of the Youngdong mine water was remarkably higher than those of other mine waters. In the Imgok Creek, concentrations of most elements, except Fe decreased with distance by dilution caused by the inflow of uncontaminated tributaries. From the results of NAMDI and $I_{geo}$ calculation, the Youngdong coal mine was the main contamination source of the study area. Groundwater pollution was not yet confirmed in this study and the paddy and farm land soils were also not yet contaminated by mining activity based on the pollution index ranging from 0.27 to 0.47.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of soil covering and vegetation base materials implementation on the growth of Lespedeza cyrtobotrya Miq. in abandoned coal mine land. We compared the biomass of L. cyrtobotrya at the study plots of four different soil covering depth (control, 10cm, 20cm, and 30cm) and four different compounds of vegetation base materials composed of soil conditioner (S), erosion control (E), and peat moss (P) (control, S+P, E+P, and S+E+P). The result showed that the biomass of L. cyrtobotrya was higher in the study plots implemented with soil covering than control plot, although the increase in biomass was not constant with soil covering depth. In case of the vegetation base materials treatments, the biomass was highest in S+E+P plot, and S+P and E+P plots showed higher biomass than control plot.

This paper proposes an IR camera system that performs the task of removing mines for humanitarian purposes. Because of the high risks involved, it is necessary to conduct mine detection from the most remote endeavoring. By mating use of infrared ray (IR) cameras, scattered mines can be detected from remote locations. In the case of mines buried in the ground, detection is possible if the peripheral temperature difference is large enough between the ground and mine weapon. As one of the world´s advanced nations in sensor technology, Japan should promote surveys and studies for detecting mines safely by using its advanced remote sensing technologies.
