본 연구는 시멘트/Fe(II) 시스템에서 TCE의 환원성 탈염소화에 관여하는 유효반응성분을 규명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 먼저 시멘트 자체에 존재하거나 혹은 그 수화물에 존재하는 성분을 다량 함유하고 있는 hematite(${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$), lepidocrocite(${\gamma}$-FeOOH), akaganeite(${\beta}$-FeOOH), ettringite($Ca_6Al_2(SO_4)_3(OH)_{12}$)를 대상으로 TCE 분해실험을 수행하여 이러한 물질이 시멘트/Fe(II) 시스템에서 탈염소반응에 관여할 수 있는지 고찰한 결과, hematite가 잠재적 유효반응성분으로 선정되었다. 각 시스템의 반응속도상수를 비교해 본 결과 200 mM Fe(II)에 hematite와 CaO를 1 : 4(몰비)로 주입한 시스템($k\;=\;0.637\;day^{-1}$)이 기존의 cement와 Fe(II)을 이용한 경우($k\;=\;0.645\;day^{-1}$)와 가장 비슷한 동력학적 분해경향을 보인다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 처음에 pH 조절이 주목적으로 주입되었던 CaO 역시 분해반응에서 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 나타났는데, CaO 첨가량이 증가할수록 hematite/CaO/Fe(II) 시스템의 분해능은 증가하다가 CaO 양이 일정 수준에 다다르면 증가세가 둔화되는 경향을 보여 주었다. SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) 분석을 통해서는 hematite/CaO/Fe(II) 시스템 내에서 분해능이 커질수록 육각형 판상의 결정이 새롭게 형성된다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며 이 결정은 portlandite, green rust($SO_4$), Friedel's salt 등일 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 동일 시료의 XRD(X-Ray Diffraction) 분석을 통해서는 hematite, magnetite/maghemite, green rust($SO_4$)의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. SEM 및 XRD 분석에서 공통적으로 나타나는 green rust($SO_4$)가 유효반응성분일 가능성이 높다고 판단되었다.

The seasonal changes in pH, Fe, Al and SO$_4$$\^$2-/ contents of acid drainage released from coal mine dumps play a major role in precipitation of metal hydroxides in the Taebaek coal field area, southeastern Korea. Precipitates in the creeks underwent a cycle of the color change showing white, reddish brown and brownish yellow, which depends on geochemical factors of the creek waters. White precipitates consist of Al-sulfate (basaluminite and hydrobasaluminite) and reddish brown ones are composed of ferrihydrite and brownish yellow ones are of schwertmannite. Goethite coprecipitates with ferrihydrite and schwertmannite. Ferrihydrite formed at higher values than pH 5.3 and schwertmannite precipitated below pH 4.3, and goethite formed at the intermediate pH range between the two minerals. With the pH being increased from acid to intermediate regions, Fe is present both as schwertmannite and goethite. From the present observation, the most favorable pH that basauluminte can precipitate is in the range of pH 4.45-5.95. SEM examination of precipitates at stream bottom shows that they basically consist of agglomerates of spheroid and rod-shape bacteria. Bacteria species are remarkably different among bottom precipitates and, to a less extent, there are slightly different chemical compositions even within the same bacteria. The speciation and calculation of the mineral saturation index were made using MINTEQA2. In waters associated with yellowish brown precipitates mainly composed of schwertmannite, So$_4$ species is mostly free So$_4$$\^$2-/ ion with less AlSo$_4$$\^$+/, CaSo$\sub$(aq)/, and MgSo$\sub$4(aq)/. Ferrous iron is present mostly as free Fe$\^$2+/, and FeSo$\sub$4(aq)/ and ferric iron exists predominantly as Fe(OH)$_2$$\^$+/, with less FeSo$\sub$4(aq)/, Fe(OH)$_2$$\^$-/, FeSo$_4$$\^$-/ and Fe$\^$3+/, respectively Al exists as free Al$\^$3+/, AlOH$_2$$\^$-/, (AlSo$_4$)$\^$+/, and Al(So$_4$)$\^$2-/. Fe is generally saturated with respect to hematite, magnetite, and goethite, with nearly saturation with lepidocrocite. Aluminum and sulfate are supersaturated with respect to predominant alunite and less jubanite, and they approach a saturation state with respect to diaspore, gibbsite, boehmite and gypsum. In the case of waters associated with whitish precipitates mainly composed of basaluminite, Al is present as predominant Al$\^$3+/ and Al(SO$_4$)$\^$+/, with less Al(OH)$\^$2+/, Al(OH)$_2$$\^$+/ and Al(SO$_4$)$\^$2-/. According to calculation for the mineral saturation, aluminum and sulfate are greatly supersaturated with respect to basaluminite and alunite. Diaspore is flirty well supersaturated while jubanite, gibbsite, and boehmite are already supersaturated, and gypsum approaches its saturation state. The observation that the only mineral phase we can easily detect in the whitish precipitate is basaluminite suggests that growth rate of alunite is much slower than that of basaluminite. Neutralization of acid mine drainage due to the dilution caused by the dilution effect due to mixing of unpolluted waters prevails over the buffering effect by the dissolution of carbonate or aluminosilicates. The main factors to affect color change are variations in aqueous geochemistry, which are controlled by dilution effect due to rainfall, water mixng from adjacent creeks, and the extent to which water-rock interaction takes place with seasons. pH, Fe, Al and SO$_4$ contents of the creek water are the most important factors leading to color changes in the precipitates. A geochemical cycle showing color variations in the precipitates provides the potential control on acid mine drainage and can be applied as a reclamation tool in a temperate region with four seasons.
