본 연구에서는 휴.폐광산 인근 납(Pb), 카드뮴(Cd), 비소(As)로 오염된 논토양에 대하여 $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $Na_2HPO_4{\cdot}12H_2O$, $Ca(H_2PO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$, $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O$, $H_3PO_4$를 안정화물질로 선정하여 $PO_4/Pb_{total}$의 몰비를 0.5, 1, 2, 4로 안정화 처리하였다. 안정화효율 평가를 위해 토양오염공정시험법과 TCLP(EPA Method 1311)를 수행한 결과, 납의 경우 $H_3PO_4$와 $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O$가 토양환경보전법상의 '가' 지역 기준을 만족하였으며, 특히 $H_3PO_4$의 경우 몰비가 증가할수록 안정화 효율이 급격히 증가하였다. 카드뮴은 납에 비하여 안정화효율이 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 비소의 경우 대부분의 안정화물질에서 안정화효율이 거의 나타나지 않거나 오히려 용출농도가 증가하였다. $H_3PO_4$가 다른 인산염 물질에 비해 납의 안정화에 높은 효율을 나타낸 것은 $H_3PO_4$에 의한 토양 pH의 저하로 인한 $Pb^{2+}$의 용출과 함께 $PO_4$가 반응하여 생성물인 hydroxypyromorphite(HP) 형성되었기 때문으로 판단된다. 연속추출법을 통한 안정화처리 전.후 토양내 중금속 결합형태의 변화는 $H_3PO_4$의 경우 5단계인 Residual fraction의 비율이 약 60% 정도 증가하였고 XRD 분석결과 $H_3PO_4$에서만 hydroxypyromorphite peak가 발견된 것과 일치하였다.

과거 납제련소 부지의 중금속으로 오염된 토양을 EDTA, citrate, HCl의 세가지 용매를 이용하여 토양세척법으로 처리한 경우 중금속의 추출특성에 대하여 중금속의 추출율과 화학적 결합형태별 변화를 중심으로 살펴보았다. EDTA를 이용한 토양세척실험에서 중금속의 추출은 Pb에 특히 효과적이었다. EDTA/HM의 물비가 증가할수록 Pb의 제거율도 증가하였고 EDTA/HM의 몰비 6.5에서 효율적인 제거가 가능하였다. Citrate를 이용한 토양세척실험에서 중금속의 추출은 다른 중금속들 보다 Zn의 추출에 효과적이었다. HCl은 모든 중금속에 대하여 전반적으로 높은 추출율을 나타내었으며 0.3N 농도에서 가장 효율적인 추출이 가능하였다. EDTA로 토양세척법 처리 전후 중금속의 결합형태별 변화는 교환성과 탄산염 형태와 같이 결합력이 약한 형태로 존재하는 중금속이 대부분 추출되었다. Citrate와 HCl 처리 후 중금속의 결합형태별 변화는 네가지 중금속 모두 유사한 경향을 보였으며 Pb은 처리 전보다 처리 후에 교환가능성 형태가 증가하는 현상이 관찰되었다. Citrate 처리시 중금속 추출효율은 비결정성 형태의 함량과 거의 일치하는 결과를 나타내었다. EDTA와 HCl을 이용한 경우는 중금속 추출효율과 중금속의 결합형태의 비교결과 Zn을 제외한 나머지 중금속의 경우 비잔류성 형태의 대부분을 제거할 수 있었다. 처리 후 토양의 TCLP 결과는 EDTA로 처리한 경우에 Pb의 USEPA 기준인 5 mg/L를 만족시켰다.

경상남도 고성군 삼산제일 동광산 주변 지역에 방치되어 있는 약 28만 톤의 광미를 포함한 광산폐기물에 의한 주변 환경의 오염정도를 평가하기 위하여 광미, 폐광석, 주변토양을 대상으로 화학분석(전함량분석, 토양오염공정시험법, 연속추출)을 통하여 유해 미량원소의 함량 및 이동도를 알아보았다. 광미 내 유해 미량원소의 전함량을 배경토양과 비교 했을 때, 부화도가 높은 순서는 Cu(14.0배)$\gg$As(3.6배)>Co(3.1배)>Zn(2.1배)=Pb(2.1배)>Cd(1.6배) 순이다. 광미 내 유해 미량원소의 존재형태(fraction I+fraction II)를 알아본 견과, 이동이 기능한 존재형태가 많은 순서는 $Zn(29.0\%)>Cu(12.3\%)>Pb(9.6\%)>Cd(3.0\%)>As=Co(0.0\%)$ 순으로 나타난다. 광미, 폐광석, 주변토양 내 유해 미량원소의 함량 및 존재형태를 고려해 볼 때, 주변 환경을 오염시킬 가능성이 있는 유해 미량원소는 구리(Cu)와 아연(Zn)인 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 광미 내 유해 미량원소의 함량을 네덜란드의 기준과 비교한 결과, Cu를 제외한 나머지 원소가 환경에 미치는 영향은 없을 것으로 추정되었다.

The field feasibility tests for a phytoextraction process were performed to identify the effect of citric acid as a chelate on the uranium (U) transfer into the plant for the naturally U contaminated soil in Duckpyeongri, Korea. For the feasibility tests, lettuce and Chinese cabbage were cultivated for 49 days on four testing grounds ($1m{\times}1m{\times}0.5m$ in each) in 2016. The citric acid solution was added to two testing grounds (one for lettuce and the other for Chinese cabbage) increasing the U transfer in two crop plants and their results were compared to those without the citric acid solution. When without the citric acid solution, the U concentration of plant after the cultivation was low (< $45{\mu}g/kg$ for leaves and < $450{\mu}g/kg$ for roots). However, with the addition of 50 mM citric acid solution, the U concentration of lettuce leaves and roots increased by 24 times and 1.8 times, and the U concentration of Chinese cabbage leaves and roots increased by 86.7 times and 5.4 times. The absolute accumulated U amount (${\mu}g$) in lettuce and Chinese cabbage also increased by 8.7 times and 50 times, compared to those without citric acid solution. Less than 8% of the U amount of exchangeable/carbonate phases was removed by using the lettuce and Chinese cabbage when the citric acid solution was not applied. However 52% and 66% of the U amount in exchangeable/carbonate phases were removed by the lettuce and the Chinese cabbage when the citric acid solution was added. The effect of the citric acid on the U transfer capability into the plants was quantitatively investigated by the field feasibility test, suggesting that U existing as exchangeable/carbonate phase in soil can be successfully removed by the phytoextraction process using Chinese cabbage with citric acid.

This study investigates effects of an aging period on arsenic (As) chemical forms in soils and phytotoxicity using artificially As-contaminated soils with a range of As concentrations (0-300 mg/kg) and aging periods (0 and 3 months). A sequential extraction procedure showed that the increasing As concentration in soils increased the ratio of non-specifically and specifically bound As, which are known to be bioavailable. This resulted in increasing As uptake by tomatoes with increasing As concentration (R²=0.87 for exponential fitting); however, the seed germination was not sensitive to the As concentrations of the soil samples. The seed germination was also statistically similar in the soils with 75 and 150 mg-As/kg regardless of the aging period. The time taken until the seed germination (i.e., lag phase), on the other hand, decreased from 10 d to 3 d with aging for 3 months. This can be attributed to the decreased amount of bioavailable As with aging. Overall, this study shows that when the toxic effects of the As-contaminated soils are assessed using tomato plants, it is better to use more sensitive methods than seed germination such as the As accumulation or the lag phase for seed germination.

This paper is aimed at source tracking of soil heavy metal contamination at a site established by reusing construction wastes. The soil heavy metal concentration at the study site peaked at a depth range of 5-10 m. Column studies were conducted to investigate the possibility of the contamination scenario of infiltration of stormwater carrying heavy metals of ground origin followed by selective heavy metal accumulation at the 5-10 m depth range. Almost all amount of lead, zinc, cadmium, and nickel introduced to the columns each packed with 0-5 m or 5-10 m field soil were accumulated in the column. The very poor heavy metal mobility in spite of the weak association of the heavy metals with the soil (characterized by a sequential extraction procedure) can be attributed to the high pH (10-11) of the construction wastes. From the results, the heavy metal contamination of the subsurface soil by an external heavy metal source was determined to be very unlikely at the study site. The column study applied in the current study is expected to be a useful methodology to present direct evidence of the contaminant source tracking at soil contamination sites.

Soil samples collected in an area of Gahak Mine were investigated for the characterization of mineralogical and physicochemical properties of contaminants in soils. It is found that soils in the study area are contaminated by lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), in which their concentrations are 595.3 mg/kg, 184.9 mg/kg, 712.8 mg/kg, and 10.64 mg/kg, respectively. All the concentrations exceed the concern criteria of Korean standard. Upon distribution patterns of metals identified by the sequential extraction procedure, our results show that more than 50% of metals are found as a residual type, and 30% are accounted for the association of Fe/Mn oxides. Interestingly, XRD results show that minium (Pb₃O₄) and cuprite (Cu₂O) are identified in the soil samples, suggesting that the sources of the contaminants for Pb and Cu are these minerals. In SEM images, tens of µm of Pb oxides and Pb silicate-minerals are observed. We, therefore, note that the contamination of metals in the study area results from the direct influx and disturbance of tailings. Our findings indicate that the characterization of physicochemical and mineralogical properties of contaminated soils is a critical factor and plays an important role in optimizing recovery treatments of soils contaminated in mine development areas.

This study was conducted to investigate the performance of four commercial chemical agents in stabilizing arsenic (As) in soil at the forest area near the former Janghang smelter site. After amending the stabilizing agents (A, B, C, and D) into As-contaminated soil samples, synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) and solubility bioavailability research consortium (SBRC)-extractable As concentrations significantly decreased except for agent D, which is mainly composed of fly ash and calcium carbonate. Increase of SPLP and SBRC-extractable As concentrations in four soil samples (S1, S2, S3, and J2) was attributed to desorption of As adsorbed on iron oxides due to high pH generated by agent D. It is therefore necessary to consider application conditions according to soil characteristics such as pH and buffering capacity. Results of sequential extraction showed that readily extractable fractions of As in soil (i.e., sum of $SO_4-$ and $PO_4-extractable$ As in soil) were converted into non-readily extractable fractions by amending agents A, B, and C. Such changes in the As distribution in soil resulted in the decrease of SPLP and SBRC-extractable As concentration. A series of follow-up monitoring and management plan has been suggested to assess the longevity of the stabilization treatments in the site.

To assess the bioavailability of As in soils and to provide a basic information for adequate management of As contaminated fields, paddy soils and rice grains near 5 closed mines were collected and analyzed for As using sequential extraction procedure. The As contents extracted with 1M HCl against total As content in soils were ranged from 5.4 to 41.9% ($r=0.90^{**}$). However, these two contents of As in soils were not positively correlated with As concentration in rice grains. Major As fractionation of paddy soils was residual form ranging 38.1 to 84.1% except NS mine. Also, specially adsorbed fraction and fraction associated with amorphous Fe and Al oxyhydroxides, which are partially bioavailable As fractionation to the rice plant, were positively correlated with As in rice grains while fraction associated with crystalline Fe and Al oxyhydroxides and residual form were not correlated.

Predicting carbon distribution of soil aggregates is difficult due to complexity in organo-mineral formation. This limits global warming mitigation through soil carbon sequestration. Therefore, knowledge of land use effect on carbon stabilization requires quantification of soil mineral cations. The study was conducted to quantify carbon and base cations on soil mineral fractions in Natural Forest, Plantation Forest and Farm Land. Five 0.09 ha were demarcated alternately along 500 m long transect with an interval of 50 m in Natural Forest (NF), Plantation Forest (PF) and Farm Land (FL). Soil samples were collected with soil cores at 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm depths in each plot. Soil core samples were oven-dried at 105℃ and soil bulk densities were computed. Sample (100 g) of each soil core was separated into >2.0, 2.0-1.0, 1.0-0.5, 0.5-0.05 and <0.05 mm aggregates using dry sieve procedure and proportion determined. Carbon concentration of soil aggregates was determined using Loss-on-ignition method. Mineral fractions of soil depths were obtained using dispersion, sequential extraction and sedimentation methods of composite soil samples and sieved into <0.05 and >0.05 mm fractions. Cation exchange capacity of two mineral fractions was measured using spectrophotometry method. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and ANOVA at α_0.05. Silt and sand particle size decreased while clay increased with increase in soil depth in NF and PF. Subsoil depth contained highest carbon stock in the PF. Carbon concentration increased with decrease in aggregate size in soil depths of NF and FL. Micro- (1-0.5, 0.5-0.05 and <0.05 mm) and macro-aggregates (>2.0 and 2-1.0 mm) were saturated with soil carbon in NF and FL, respectively. Cation exchange capacity of <0.05 mm was higher than >0.05 mm in soil depths of PF and FL. Fine silt (<0.05 mm) determine the cation exchange capacity in soil depths. Land use and mineral size influence the carbon and cation exchange capacity of Gambari Forest Reserve.
