The Standards, Measurement and Testing Programme (SM&T-formerly BCR) extraction procedure was applied to fractionate Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in 23 top soil samples into: (i) exchangeable phase; (ii) reducible phase; (iii) oxidisable(sulfides and organics bound) phase; and (iv) residual phase. Fractions of Cr and Ni were in the order of residual > oxidisable > reducible > exchangeable phase. The oxidisable phase was identified as dominant for Cu and Pb. Zn had the highest ratio of exchangeable phase in comparision to the other metals. The bioavailability and mobility were assessed to be the greatest for Zn, followed by a decreasing order of Pb, Cu, Ni and Cr. All metal average concentrations in topsoil samples was higher in industrial sites than in agricultural sites. Our results revealed higher concentrations in topsoil samples (0~15 cm) than in sub soils (15~30 cm, 30~60 cm) for most metals at six sites (No. 5, 6, 17, 19, 20, 23). The fractions of exchangeable, reducible ad oxidisable phases showed relatively high correlation with soil pH, Fe/Mn oxide concentrations and organic matter contents, respectively.

Remediation of metal(loid)s-contaminated sites is crucial to protect human and ecosystem. Solidification and stabilization of metal(loid)s by the binder amendment is one of the cost-effective technologies. In this study, metal (loid)s in various field-contaminated soils obtained from steel-making, metal refinery and mining tillage were immobilized by the application of single binders such as diammonium phosphate (DAP), lime, and ladle slag. The efficiency of solidification and stabilization was evaluated by Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and the Standard, Measurements and Testing programme of European Union (SM&T) extraction processes. In terms of TCLP extraction, the binder was effective in order of lime > DAP > ladle slag. All binders were highly effective in the immobilization of Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cd. The increased immobilization efficiency is attributed to the increase in the Step III and IV fractions of the SM&T extraction. Lime and ladle slag were highly effective in the immobilization of the metal(loid)s, however, As release increased with DAP due to competition between the phosphate originated from DAP and arsenate. A further study is needed for the better immobilization of multi metal(loid)s using binary binders.

Amendment of multi-binders was employed for the immobilization of metal(loid)s in field-contaminated soils to reduce the leaching potential. The effect of different types of multi-binders (lime/diammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate/ladle slag and lime/ladle slag) on the solidification/stabilization of metal(loid)s (Pb, Zn, Cu and As) from the smelter soil and mine tailing soil were investigated. The amended soils were evaluated by measuring Toxicity Characterization Leaching Procedure (TCLP) leaching concentration of metal(loid)s. The results show that the leaching concentration of metal(loid)s decreased with the immobilization using multi-binders. In terms of TCLP extraction, the mixed binder was effective in the order of lime/ladle slag > diammonium phosphate/ladle slag > lime/diammonium phosphate. When the mixed binder amendment (0.15 g lime+0.15 g ladle slag for 1g smelter soil and 0.05 g lime+0.1 g ladle slag for 1 g mine tailing soil, respectively) was used, the leaching concentration of metal(loid)s decreased by 90%. However, As leaching concentration increased with diammonium phosphate/lime and diammonium phosphate/ladle slag amendment competitive anion exchange between arsenic ion and phosphate ion from diammonium phosphate. The Standard, Measurements and Testing programme (SM&T) analysis indicated that fraction 1 (F1, exchangeable fraction) decreased, while fraction 4 (F4, residual fraction) increased. The increased immobilization efficiency was attributed to the increase in the F4 of the SM&T extraction. From this work, it was possible to suggest that both arsenic and heavy metals can be simultaneously immobilized by the amendment of multi-binder such as lime/ladle slag.

본 연구에서는 하수슬러지를 매립지 복토재로 재활용하기 위해 래들슬래그, 시멘트, 인회석, 소석회를 첨가하여 하수 슬러지 내 중금속(Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn)의 용출을 평가하였다. 하수슬러지의 용출 평가는 EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) 추출법과 TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)를 통해 이루어졌으며, 중금속 결합 기작은 연속추출(sequential extraction)을 통해 평가하였다. EDTA 용출 결과 하수슬러지에 래들슬래그/시멘트/소석회의 투입량이 증가할수록 하수슬러지 내 중금속의 용출이 감소하였다. 그러나 인회석을 투입했을 때는 중금속 용출의 감소 효과가 거의 나타나지 않았으며, 이는 EDTA가 인회석에 의한 중금속 고정화를 방해하였기 때문이다. TCLP 용출 결과 하수슬러지 내 슬래그, 시멘트 또는 소석회의 투입량이 증가하여 용출액의 pH가 7 이상일 때는 Cu의 용출 농도가 원하수슬러지의 용출농도보다 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 인회석은 투입량이 증가할수록 중금속의 용출 농도가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 혼합 고화제를 투입한 하수슬러지의 중금속 용출 결과, 하수슬러지의 중량비 100%를 기준으로 래들슬래그 20%와 소석회 10%를 투입한 혼합물이 최적의 고화 혼합 비율이며, 이 때 EDTA 추출법과 TCLP로 용출한 중금속의 농도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 하수슬러지 내 중금속 결합이 약한 결합인 exchangeable fraction과 carbonate fraction에서 강한 결합인 organic fraction으로 이동하였음을 연속추출(SM&T, formaly BCR)을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 하수슬러지와 고화제를 최적의 비율로 혼합한 혼합물을 폐기물공정시험법으로 중금속 용출을 평가한 결과 Cu가 기준농도 이상으로 검출되었다. 그러나 TCLP에 따른 하수슬러지의 용출시험 결과 Ba, Cd, Cr, Pb의 항목에서 미국 환경보호청의 용출 기준을 만족하였다.
