폐광산 지역에서 발생하는 광산배수의 오염원소중 하나인 구리(Cu)는 낮은 농도에서도 독성을 지니고 있어 수계환경에 노출되기 전에 처리되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 경남 고성군 S광산의 갱내수 정화시설의 Cu 제거효율을 개선하기 위해 석회석과 폐상퇴비를 혼합한 자연정화 기반의 반응조를 이용하여 약 9개월 동안 현장 파일럿실험을 수행하였다. 반응조별 유입수 대비 pH 증가량과 Cu 제거효율은 Successive Alkalinity Producing System (SAPS) > Reducing and Alkalinity Producing System (RAPS) > 석회석반응조 순으로 나타났다. SAPS조와 RAPS조에서는 석회석의 영향과 동시에 유기물의 분해로 인한 알칼리도의 부과로 석회석반응조보다 높은 pH 환경을 조성하였다. pH가 증가할수록 Cu 제거효율이 높아지는 결과를 통해 pH 상승이 Cu를 처리하는 주된 기작임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 황산염환원박테리아(Sulfate Reduction Bacteria, SRB)가 SAPS조에서 가장 많이 활성화 된 것을 확인 할 수 있어, 황산염환원반응도 Cu를 제거시키는 기작에 관여함을 판단할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 S광산에서 발생하는 광산배수의 특성에 알맞은 맞춤형 정화공정을 도출하기 위해 현장 그대로의 조건에서 실험을 수행한 것에 의의가 있으며, 향후 정화시설의 개선에 있어 공법 선정에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

Future Combat System(FCS), such as unmanned systems that reduce the danger faced by soldiers in the field, are likely to be studied and developed. Soldiers when finding and disposing of mines risk injury and death. Several methods of safe mine retrieval are investigated. In this paper, a mine removal method, which uses a remote controlled robot to get rid of mines using a 4 channel architecture teleoperation method is used. The robot, when in contact with soil and mines, is controlled by a remote control. The feasibility of using teleoperation controlled system to remove mines is demonstrated in this paper. The Matlab-Simulink was used as a tool to simulate mine removal with robots. The force and position of the robot{slave system of 4 channel architecture) and controller(master system of 4 channel architecture) are analyzed when users handle the controller with sinusoidal force.

In the mine exploration sites, sustainable treatment system of mine water with energy saving and minimized chemical additives is required. Since most of the mine water contains highly-concentrated ferrous ion, it is necessary to study on the removal method of iron ions. We propose the system consisting of two processes; precipitation process by air oxidation using solid catalyst-modified magnetite and separation process combining gravitational sedimentation and magnetic separation using a permanent magnet. Firstly, in the precipitation process (a former process of the system), we succeeded to prepare solid catalyst-modified magnetite. Air oxidation using solid catalyst-modified magnetite using $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ as a starting material showed high iron removal capability. Secondly, in the separation process (latter process of the system), solid catalyst-modified magnetite using $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ as a starting material can be separated by a superconducting bulk magnet and a permanent magnet.

본 연구에서는 비소와 중금속으로 동시에 오염된 광미로부터 토양세척에 의해 비소를 제거하는 실험을 하였다. 중금속 일부도 함께 제거되었다. 최적의 세척효율을 나타내는 세척제의 종류 및 농도, 광미와 세척제의 혼합비, 세척시간 등의 조건을 도출해내었다. 비소를 제거하는데 가장 효과적인 세척제는 옥살산(72% 제거효율)과 인산(65%)이었고, 옥살산(89%)은 Cu를 포함한 중금속을 제거하는데도 매우 효과적이었다. 최적의 세척제 농도는 0.25 M이고, 세척시간은 30분이었다. 토양세척 후 발생하는 폐수를 최소화하고 비소를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 광미와 세척제의 적정비율은 1 : 20(질량 : 부피)이었다. 혼합세척제는 단일 세척제와 비교해서 비소제거효율에 차이가 없었으나 Cu와 Zn을 제거하는데 효과가 좋았다.

The study is to propose the optimal separation technique of heavy metals (Pb and Zn) contaminated in soil for improving the removal efficiency by various applicable techniques. The heavy metal contaminated soil samples near abandoned mine X-1 and X-2 were used for the study. Firstly, the wet classification process was shown more than 80% of removal efficiency for lead and zinc. Meanwhile, the magnetic separation process was shown low removal efficiency for lead and zincs because those heavy metals were non-magnetic materials. For the next step, the flotation separation process was shown approximately 24.4% of removal efficiency for zinc, while the gravity concentration process was shown approximately 57% of removal efficiency for lead, and 19.9% of removal efficiency for zinc, respectively. Therefore, zinc contaminated in soil would be effectively treated by the combination technique of the wet classification and the flotation technique. Meanwhile, lead contaminated in soil would be effectively treated by the combination technique of the wet classification process and the flotation process. Furthermore, the extraction of organic matter was shown more effective with aeration, 3% of hydrogen peroxide and 3% of lime such as calcium hydroxide.

폐광산에서 유출되는 광산배수 내 중금속을 처리하기 위해 자연정화법 및 물리화학처리 등 다양한 방법이 사용되고 있다. 특히 광산배수 내 중금속 중 망간은 처리되기 위해 pH 9 이상의 조건이 필요하기 때문에 처리하기 어려운 원소 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 광산배수 내 망간의 효율적인 제거방법을 연구하기 위해 다양한 제강슬래그 복합매질체 반응조(제강슬래그(S), 제강슬래그+석회석(S+L), 제강슬래그+망간코팅자갈(S+G))를 사용하여 경쟁원소인 철 유입에 따른 망간의 제거효율을 평가하였다. 철 유입이 없는 358일간의 실험에서는 평균 pH 6.7의 고농도 망간(30~50 mg/L)이 포함된 원수를 사용했으며 제강슬래그 반응조 유출수는 pH 8.9~11.4에서 평균 99.9%의 지속적으로 높은 망간제거효율을 보였다. 철 유입 없이 망간제거실험을 진행한 반응조를 이용하여 망간농도 40~60 mg/L의 원수에 철을 추가로 유입하여 237일간의 실험을 진행하였다. 망간 제거 이후 pH는 6.1~10.0 범위로 증가하였으며 철 유입 전에 비해 낮은 범위를 보였다. S반응조가 pH 7.1~9.9로 가장 높았으며 S+L 반응조, S+G 반응조가 그 뒤를 이었다. 하지만 망간제거효율은 비교적 낮은 pH 범위임에도 불구하고 S+L 반응조가 94~100%로 가장 높았으며 S반응조와 S+G 반응조는 약 68~100%의 범위의 효율을 보였다. S+L반응조가 철 유입에 가장 높은 저항성을 나타냈으며 이는 pH 이외에도 석회석에 의해 공급된 탄산염에 의한 $MnCO_3$의 형성 또는 자가촉매반응이 망간제거에 기여했다고 판단할 수 있다. X선 회절 분석을 통해 S+L 반응조 침전물에서 로도크로사이트(rhodochrosite, $MnCO_3$)를 확인할 수 있었다. 광산배수 내 망간을 처리하는데 가장 효율적인 반응조는 제강슬래그+석회석 반응조로 나타났으며, 본 연구결과는 철의 유입에 따른 비교적 낮은 pH(9 이하) 범위에서도 망간이 효율적으로 제거될 수 있는 공법을 선정하는데 기여 할 수 있다.

The Dalsung copper-tungsten mine in the Taegu area, Korea was closed in 1975 and may be the sources of the heavy metal contamination in the tributary system and soil-plant system due to the mine drainage derived from the mine wastes and tailings. To examine the degree and extent of heavy metal contamination in the vicinity of Dalsung mine area, stream water and soil samples were taken and analyzed for heavy metals by ICP-AES and AAS. Highly contaminated soils are found near the Lower Tunnel No.0 ranging up to $1760{\mu}g/g$ As, $2060{\mu}g/g$ Cu, $1120{\mu}g/g$ Pb and 346 ${\mu}g/g$ Zn. From the results of the sequential extraction methods for the metal speciation, the heavy metals in soils may be derived from soil parent materials and acid mine drainage. With the processes for the heavy metal removal, most of the heavy metal ions in the acid mine drainage are removed by being exchanged with Ca ions held by the bentonite, hydroxyapatite and calcium hydoxide.

This study was conducted to investigate the removal characteristics of heavy metals and sulfate ion from acid mine drainage by porous zeolite-slag ceramics (ZS ceramics) that was prepared by adding wood flour as pore-foaming agent while calcining the mixtures of natural zeolite and converter slag. The batch test showed that the removal efficiency of heavy metals by pellet-type porous ZS ceramics increased as the particle size of wood flour was decreased and as the weight mixing ratio of wood flour to ZS ceramics was increased. The optimal particle size and weight mixing ratio of wood flour were measured to be $75{\mu}m$ and 7~10%, respectively. The removal test with the porous ZS ceramics prepared in these optimal condition showed very high removal efficiencies: more than 98.4% for all heavy metals and 73.9% for sulfate ion. Relative to nonporous ZS ceramics, the increment of removal efficiency of heavy metals by porous ZS ceramics with $75{\mu}m$ and 10% wood flour was 5.8%, 60.5%, 36.9%, 87.7%, 10.3%, and 57.4% for Al, Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn, respectively. The mechanism analysis of removal by the porous ZS ceramics suggested that the heavy metals and sulfate ion from acid mine drainage are eliminated by multiple reactions such as adsorption and/or ion exchange as well as precipitation and/or co-precipitation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the heavy metal removal and biomass productivity in the Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) using eggshell and microalgae. The experiment was operated 6 days in the eggshell and microalgae hybrid system, and using eggshell powder and microalgae as Chlorella vulgaris. The obtained result indicated that the biomass productivity of 2.82 g/L/d from 1.12 g/L initial concentration in 6 days was reached with light transmittance of 97% at a 305 mm depth in the optical panel photobioreactor (OPPBR). The total removal efficiency of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and Cd was found to be 98.92%, 99.91%, 98.78%, 88.99% and 98.00% in the AMD using eggshell and Chlorella vulgaris hybrid system, respectively. Additionally, there were significant relationships between biomass and concentration of each heavy metal ($R^2$ = 0.8771, 0.8643, 0.8669, 0.9134 and 0.6277 for Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and Cd). These results indicated that the eggshell and microalgae hybrid system was highly effective for heavy metal removal when compared to the conventional biological process in the AMD. Therefore, the eggshell and microalgae hybrid system was effective for heavy metal removal and biomass productivity and can be applied to treat AMD in treatment plant.

Passive treatment systems are commonly used for remediation of mine drainage waters because they do not require continuous chemical inputs and operation. In this study, the selection and design criteria for such systems were evaluated, particularly the two most commonly used ones, i.e., permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) and vertical flow biological reactors (VFBRs). PRBs and VFBRs are operated on the same principles in terms of biochemical reaction mechanisms, whereas differences relate to configuration, engineering, and water management. In this study, each of these systems were described with respect to key design variables, such as metal removal mechanisms and removal rates, effectiveness and longevity, general design and construction, flow capacity, and cost. The information provided from this study could be used as a design guideline when a passive treatment option is considered for potential remediation of a mine site.
