Sulfur isotope composition was used to identify the sources of groundwater contamination near abandonded coal mines. From the analysis of mine adit drainages, tailing seepages, and spring waters near the abandonded Hambaek and Hanchang coal mines in Kangwon Province, it was inferred that it the highly possible source of the contamination of spring water is acid mine drainage(AMD). Sulfur isotope composition showed that seepage from tailings seemed to have more effect on the groundwater contamination than mine adit drainage, which suggests the remediation and anti-contamination methods of tailing seepages not only mine adit drainage are required.

Fine suspended solids from coal mine drainage were treated in the treating plant, using two different pilot-scale inclined clarifiers: radial and lamella types. Suspended solids in the mine drainage were monitored along with other geochemical factors, and metal contents. Fe and Mn are the main chemical components in the drainage, which exist predominantly as total metal forms, whereas dissolved portion is negligible. The raw mine drainage is subject to physical and chemical treatment using $CaCO_3$ and NaOH, therefore the suspended solids are thought to be composed of Fe and Mn precipitates, possibly $Fe(OH)_3$, along with carbonate precipitates. The elemental composition of precipitates are confirmed by SEM-EDS analysis. As nearly all the dissolved ions were precipitated in the primary process by $CaCO_3$, no further aeration or prolonged oxygenation are of necessity in this plant. Adoption of inclined clarifier proved to be effective in treating fine suspended solids in the current plant. Successful application of the inclined clarifier will also be beneficial to improve the current treating process by excluding the current application of chemical agent in the first stage. The final effluents from the pilot plant meet the national standards and the low dissolved Fe and Mn contents are expected not to cause secondary precipitation after discharge.

Coalfields in Korea have been grouped into thirteen based on mainly geographycal and geological structure, ten out of which have been developed. To classify the phisico-chemical characteristics of mine drainage from each coalfield and, if possible, to clarify the intrinsic reasons of them. Sampling of waters from 59 mines in eight coalfields has been carried out. Higher pH of drainage water from the mines of the Cungchung coalfield belong to the Beading system, Mesozoic era than those belong to the Pyungan system, Proterozoic era is due to the low content of sulfides of neighboring strata. The drainage from coal beds overlying limestone bed mostly show high pH. Waters from the Gangrung and Samchuck coalfields coal beds are located within black shale formation which contains a lot of sulfides showed mostly very high metal and S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ concentrations.

Fine suspended solids from mine drainage draw attentions due to their potential adverse influences on the water quality, such as increasing turbidity and degrading aesthetic landscape. Currently, sand filter beds are adapted in some mine drainage treating systems. However, more efficient system is in demand, as the existing sand beds reveal some problems, such as frequent maintenance intervals. Various filtering mediums including fly ash, mine tailing aggregates and the sand were tested for improving the current system, using column experimental set-up. Mine drainage samples were collected from the current treating systems in the abandoned H coal mine. The experiment was run for 7 days. Suspended solids recorded as 100.9 mg/L and the value exceeds the current standard, 30 mg/L. Sand was proved to still be the optimum medium for the fine suspended solids, compared to fly ash and fly ash + sand. Mine tailing aggregates were placed at the exit of the columns, substituting gravels. The tailing aggregates is made by mine tailings and clay. Sand bed filters can also be improved by mixing granular activated carbon, which was found to be economical and efficient in the batch experiment, conducted at the same time.

Power plants that produce electricity through thermal power plants mainly store coal in outdoor storage yards. In particular, coal is directly exposed to rainwater during rainfall, including torrential rain. There is no separate drainage facility in the outdoor coal yard, and coal is simply stored on the ground. Accordingly, during rainfall, coal dust flows down by rainwater, and a large amount of rainwater that is not drained overflows the outdoor coal yard, overflowing the surrounding facilities and causing environmental pollution. Therefore, in this study, a drainage system was developed for the rapid drainage of an outdoor coal mine, and the quality of the water was evaluated when rainwater mixed with drainage characteristics and coal dust was discharged through the drainage system.

국내 폐석탄 광산은 334 개, 폐금속 광산은 약 900 여개로 알려져 있다. 이러한 폐광산에서는 환경오염과 지반침하 등 안전문제가 발생하고 있다. 폐광산에서 환경오염은 주로 폐갱도, 채굴적 그리고 광산폐기물 적치장에서 유출되는 산성광산배수 문제와 중금속이 함유된 광산폐기물의 침식 및 유실로 인한 주변 토양오염 등을 들 수 있다. 폐석탄 광산 및 폐금속 광산의 갱내수를 조사 분석한 결과, 일부 폐광산 갱내수들은 산성수이며 금속성분이 고농도로 함유된 폐수로 나타나고 폐탄광 배수의 수질은 지역적으로 차이가 있다. 폐광산배수의 정화는 물리화학적 처리시 막대한 운영비가 소요되므로 폐갱도 석회석 충전과 소택지 등 자연정화처리법으로 처리되고 있다. 현재 폐금속 광산 폐기물은 환경오염 방지를 위해 주로 매립법으로 복구되고 있다.

This study was conducted to describe the characteristics of Non-point source (NPS) Pollution discharge from a coal mining area in Korea. The study areas is located on the Dogye site, Samchuk, Kangwon Province Coal Corporation and the Jangsung site, Taebaek, Kangwon Province Coal Corporation. The monitoring system was installed at a drainage channel and water samples and rainfall events were collected during March 2008 to February 2009. The collected water samples were analyzed with respect to SS, BOD, $COD_{Cr}$, $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, T-P, and TOC, respectively. It was observed that the runoff and water quality were largely influenced by mine drainage. Also a significant relationship was observed from the correlation between flow and water quality, flow and NPS. And estimated Event Mean Concentration (EMC), NPS pollution loads were Dogey coal mine and Taeback coal mine respectively. As the study progresses in the future, runoff and pollution loads will be updated.

중금속과 황산이온의 농도가 높은 산성광산배수(AMD)를 배출하는 강원도 정선군에 위치한 삼척탄좌 정암광업소 유출수를 대상으로 제강 슬래그, 우분 및 석회석 등을 활용하여 처리실험을 수행하였다. Batch test와 적용성 시험 결과, 원수 1 L당 15 g의 제강 슬래그, 15 g의 우분 및 500 g의 석회석이 최적의 기질물질 양으로 조사되었다. 이를 기초로 제강 슬래그, 우분과 석회석으로 충진한 SAPS조, 침전조, 산화조 순서로 구성된 처리시스템을 구성하였다. 총 54일간 시행된 실험결과, 원수에 비해 pH의 상승(3.0에서 8.3)과 더불어 61%의 황산염이온 농도가 저감되었다 (1,042 mg/L에서 409 mg/L). 또한, 초기농도 대비 최종 방류수의 중금속 처리효율은 매우 높은 수준으로써 99.9% 이상의 Al, Fe, Zn과 92.6% Mn이 제거되었다. 즉, 제강 슬래그, 우분 및 석회석을 활용하면 산성광산수의 중화와 금속 침전효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 석탄 광산배수에 함유된 중금속을 부유선별로 제거하기에 앞서 부유선별 조건에 영향을 미치는 철, 망간, 알루미늄 이온의 침전특성을 알아보았다. Fe(III), Mn(II), Al(III) 이온을 NaOH와 반응시켜 1 h 동안 침전시키면 Fe(III)은 pH 5.0 이상에서, Mn(II)은 pH 10.0 이상에서 그리고 Al(III)은 pH $6.0{\sim}9.0$의 범위에서 대부분 침전되어 여액에 $1.0mgL^{-1}$ 이하로 잔류되었다. Fe(III), Mn(II), Al(III)의 혼합 용액에 포수제인 올레인산나트륨을 첨가하였을 경우, 각각의 중금속 이온은 올레인산나트륨과 반응하여 불용성 염을 거의 형성하지 않았기 때문에 침전 부선법으로 광산배수에 함유된 중금속을 제거해야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, to stabilize the heavy metal in the contaminated soils, the column leaching test based on rainfall and pH value was performed by using coal mine drainage sludge(CMDS): which was generated during electrical purification of abandoned coal mine wastewater. Four types of testing column were used in this study. That were the CMDS and the heavy metal contaminated soils well mixed in 0 wt%, 1 wt%, 3 wt% and 3 wt% layered column. According to the investigation, when the influent pH was $5.5{\sim}6.2$, there were no heavy metal elution at all conditions, and when the influent pH was $3{\sim}3.3$, the order of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cr elution concentration was 3 wt% M(mixed)<3 wt% S(separation)<1 wt% M<0 wt% and the average elution concentration was quite low, the value was 0.005 mg/L. Therefore, CMDS can used as new stabilizer of the heavy metal in the contaminated soils.
