산성폐수에 함유된 오염물질의 물리적 화학적 특성이 배우 복잡하기 때문에 산성폐수에 의해 오염된 지표수나 지하수등의 오염정도를 지역적, 시간적 변화에 따라 비교하는 일은 쉽지가 않다. 본 논문에서는 산성폐수에 의해 오염된 지표수나 지하수의 오염도를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 수학적 지표를 제시하였으며, 오염지표를 이용하여 국내 폐탄광의 갱내 유출수에 대한 오염도를 검토하였다. 사용된 오염지표(Acid Mine Drainage Index)는 수질의 오염정도를 가장 잘 나타낼수 있는 7개의 변수 즉, pH값, 황산염(Sulfate), 철, 망간, 알루미늄, 구리 및 아연 함량을 이용하여 계산하였다. 사용된 변수는 오염도에 미치는 상대적인 중요도를 감안하여 가중치를 사용하였으며 , pH값 및 황산염함량에 가장 높은 가중치를 부여하였다. 국내 폐광산에서 유출되는 산성폐수의 오염도 평가결과 경북 문경에 소재한 석봉탄광이 조사탄광중 상대적으로 오염도가 높았으며, 지역적으로 영동지역에 위치한 폐탄광의 갱내 유출수가 영서, 중부, 서부 및 남부에 위치한 폐탄광에 비해 오염도가 높게 나타났다.

산성광산배수(Acid mine drainage; AMD)를 처리하기 위한 자연정화시설의 반응조는 긴 체류시간을 위해 넓은 면적이 요구되며, 집중호우로 인해 유량이 급격히 늘어나는 여름에는 체류시간 부족으로 반응이 충분히 일어나지 못하고 많은 오염물질이 유출수로 빠져나가는 현상이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 부지 및 환경 특성으로 인해 넓은 면적이 요구되는 자연정화시설을 설치하기에 어려움이 있는 폐광산의 AMD에 응집제를 사용하여 빠른 시간 내에 오염물질을 침전시키고 탁도를 개선하는 연구를 진행하였다. W광산에서 배출되는 AMD에 무기응집제 PAC (Poly Aluminium Chloride)와 유기응집제인 PAM (Polyacrylamide) 성분이 포함된 고분자응집제를 사용하여 AMD의 상등수 및 여액의 중금속 농도와 침전된 슬러지의 형태를 파악하기 위해 입도분석, ICP-OES, SEM-EDS 분석을 실시하였다.

This study was carried out to understand the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) by pyrophyllite (so-called Napseok)-rainwater interaction (weathering), dispersion patterns of heavy metals, and patterns of mixing with non-polluted water in the Tongnae pyrophyllite mine. Based on the mass balance and reaction path modeling, using both the geochemistry of water and occurrence of the secondary minerals (weathering products), the geochemical evolution of AMD was simulated by computer code of SOLVEQ and CHILLER. It shows that the pH of stream water is from 6.2 to 7.3 upstream of the Tongnae mine. Close to the mine, the pH decreases to 2. Despite being diluted with non-polluted tributaries, the acidity of mine drainage water maintains as far as downstream. The results of modeling of water-rock interaction show that the activity of hydrogen ion increases (pH decreases), the goncentration of ${HCO_3}^-$ decreases associated with increasing $H^+$ activity, as the reaction is processing. The concentration of ${SO_4}^{2-}$first increases minutely, but later increases rapidly as pH drops below 4.3. The concentrations of cations and heavy metals are controlled by the dissolution of reactants and re-dissolution of derived species (weathering products) according to the pH. The continuous adding of reactive minerals, namely the progressively larger degrees of water-rock interaction, causes the formation of secondary minerals in the following sequence; goethite, then Mn-oxides, then boehmite, then kaolinite, then Ca-nontronite, then Mgnontronite, and finally chalcedony. The results of reaction path modeling agree well with the field data, and offer useful information on the geochemical evolution of AMD. The results of reaction path modeling on the formation of AMD offer useful information for the estimation and the appraisal of pollution caused by water-rock interaction as geological environments. And also, the ones can be used as data for the choice of appropriate remediation technique for AMD.

Mine wastes such as acid mine drainage (AMD) can cause the detrimental effects on surrounding environment, thereby eventually threatening human health. Main objective of this study was to evaluate the neutralizing effect of fly ash (FA) as a stabilizing material AMD. Field plot was constructed in a coal waste depot which has caused aluminium-whitening adjacent to the stream. Different mixing ratios of FA were applied on a top of the soil, and then the physicochemical properties of runoff and soil were monitored. Constructed plots were as following: control (mine waste only (W)), mine waste + 20% ($w\;w^{-1}$)of FA (WC20M), mine waste + 40% ($w\;w^{-1}$)of FA (WC40M), and WC40M dressed with a fresh soil at the top (WC40MD). Result showed that initial pH of runoff in control was 5.09 while that in WC40M (7.81) was significantly increased. For a plot treated with WC40M, the concentration of Al in runoff was decreased to $0.22mg\;L^{-1}$ compared to the W as the control ($4.85mg\;L^{-1}$). Moreover, the concentration of Fe was also decreased to less than half at the WC40M compared to the control. Application of FA can be useful for neutralizing AMD and possibly minimizing adverse effect of AMD in mining area.

In this study, generic characteristics of the acid mine drainage (AMD), removal efficiency of iron, aluminium and manganese by chemical treatment, electrolysis and hybrid process using electrolysis after neutralization were evaluated. The pH of AMD was inversely proportional to the rainfall. In dry-season, the average pH of AMD was ranged from 4.5 to 5.5, showing slight variation. However, the pH of AMD was gradually decreased along with rainfall and dropped to 3.02 in September showing the greatest rainfall. Removal efficiency of heavy metals by chemical treatments using three different neutralizing agents or by electrolysis was low. However, a hybrid process performed with electrolysis after addition of neutralization shows higher removal capacity for heavy metal ions than neutralization-alone and electrolysisalone process.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) resulting from pyrite oxidation in mining areas, subsequently leads to soil acidification accompanied by lowering pH and high concentration of metals and metalloids in its surrounding environment. Regarding to this, the microbial amelioration has been considered as a promising option for a more cost-effective and eco-friendlier countermeasure, compared to the use of alkaline chemicals. This study was aimed to evaluate influencing factors in microbially-mediated amelioration of acidic soil spiked by simulated AMD. For this, microcosm experiments were conducted by acid-neutralizing bacterial consortium (dominated by Klebsiella sp. and Raoultella sp.) under the various conditions of AMD spikes (0-2,500 mg SO42-/L), together with acidic mine soil (0-100 g) or sphagnum peat (0-5 g) in the 200 mL of nutrient medium. The employed bacterial consortium, capable of resisting to high level of sulfate concentration (up to 1,500 mg SO42-/L) in low pH, generated the ammonium while concomitantly reduced the sulfate, subsequently contributing to the effective soil stabilization with an evolution of soil pH up to neutral. Furthermore, it demonstrates that suitable condition has to be tuned for successful microbial metabolism to facilitate with neutralization during practical application.
