in order to develop a new technique for the removal of arsenic compoundsfrom acidified water, the removal of arsenic compounds by an acidophilic moss, Jungermannia vulcanicola Steph. was investigated in this study. The result of vial tests for arsenic removal is dependent on the biological activity of moss. The presence of phosphate inhibited the arsenic removal. And the acclimatization of moss by the media containing arsenic increased the its capability of arsenic remova.

The potential of electrokinetic (EK) technology has been successfully demonstrated for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated fine-grained soils through laboratory scale and field application studies. Arsenic contamination in soil is a serious problem affecting both site use and groundwater quality. The EK technology was evaluated for the removal of arsenic from two soil samples: kaolinite clay artificially contaminated with arsenic and arsenic-bearing tailing soil taken from the Myungbong (MB) mining area. The effect of cathodic electrolyte on the process was investigated using three different types of electrolyte: deionized water (DIW), potassium phosphate (KH$_2$PO$_4$) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The result of experiments on the kaolinite clay shows that the potassium phosphate was most effective in extracting arsenic, probably resulting from anion exchange of arsenic species by phosphate. On the contrary, the sodium hydroxide seemed to be most efficient in removing arsenic from the tailing soil, and it is explained by the fact that sodium hydroxide increased the soil pH and accelerated ionic migration of arsenic species through increase in desorption and dissolution of arsenic species into pore water.

본 연구는 함안지역 고농도 비소 오염 지하수의 미생물 군집 특성 분석을 통해 지하수 내 비소 산출 특성을 평가하고자 수행되었다. 함안지역 지하수는 0~757.2 ㎍/L 농도 범위의 비소로 오염되어 있으며, 이는 국내에서 보고된 가장 높은 자연기원 지하수 비소 오염 농도를 나타낸다. 전체 200개 시료 중 29개(14.5%)에서 먹는물 수질 기준인 10 ㎍/L 이상의 비소 농도가 관측되었으며, 암반 지하수 관정(80~100 m 심도)에서는 50 ㎍/L 이상인 시료가 8개(4%) 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 함안군 북측 지역에는 비소 함량이 100 ㎍/L 이상인 관정이 7개 존재하는 특징을 보였다. 고농도 비소 오염지역 지하수의 미생물 군집 분석 결과, 8개 시료에서 서로 상이한 군집 특성을 보였으며 Proteobacteria가 평균 61.5%로 가장 우점하였다. 속(genus) 수준에서는 혐기성 균인 Gallionella속과 Methermicoccus 속, 호기성 비소 환원균인 Acinetobacter속이 각각 12.8%, 7.3%, 7.8%의 높은 비율로 존재하고 있었다. 결과적으로 연구 지역의 지화학적 특성과 지하수 내 미생물의 생지화학적 기작의 복합적 반응에 의해 고농도 비소 오염 특성을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 구축된 지화학적 특성과 미생물 군집에 대한 정보는 지하수 내 고농도 비소의 생성 기원과 이들의 제어 기술 개발에 활용이 가능할 것으로 여겨진다.

This research examines the feasibility of using laboratory-synthesized nano scale zero-valent iron particles to remove arsenic from aqueous phase. Batch experiments were performed to determine arsenic sorption rates as a function of the nano scale zero-valent iron solution concentration. Rapid adsorption of arsenic was achieved with the nano scale zero-valent iron. Typically 1 mg $L^{-1}$ arsenic (III) was adsorbed by 5 g $L^{-1}$ nano scale zero-valent iron below the 0.01 g $L^{-1}$ concentration within 7min. The kinetics of the arsenic sorption followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. Observed reaction rate constants ( $K_{obs}$) varied between 11.4 to 129.0 $h^{-1}$ with respect to different concentrations of nano scale zero-valent iron. A variety of analytical techniques were used to study the reaction products including HGAAS (hydride generator atomic adsorption spectrophotometer), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Our experimental results suggest novel method for efficient removal of arsenic Iron groundwater.r.

Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is a promising water management strategy for securing stable water resources to overcome water shortage and water quality deterioration caused by global environmental changes. A MAR demonstration site was selected at Imgok-ri, Sangju-si, Korea, based on screening for the frequency of drought events and local water supply situations. The abundant groundwater discharging from a nearby abandoned coal mine is one of the potential recharge water sources for the MAR implementation. However, it has elevated levels of arsenic (~12 ㎍/L). In this study, the potential of the natural attenuation of arsenic by the field geological media was investigated using batch and column experiments. The adsorption and desorption parameters were obtained for two drill core samples (GM1; 21.8~22.8 m and GM2; 26.0~27.8 m depth) recovered from the potentially water-conducting fracture-zones in the injection well. The effluent arsenic concentrations were monitored during the continuous flow of the mine drainage water through the columns packed with the core samples. GM2 removed about 60% of arsenic in the influent (0.1 mg-As/L) while GM1 removed about 20%. The results suggest that natural attenuation is an acitive process occurring during the MAR operation, potentially lowering the arsenic level in the mine drainage water below the regulatory standard for drinking water. This study hence demonstrates that using the mine drainage water as the recharge water source is a viable option at the MAR demonstration site.

전 세계적으로 수많은 나라의 지하수에 용존 되어있는 비소는 매우 독성이 강한 오염물질이다. 이로 인해서 지하수에 있는 비소를 제거하기 위한 수많은 처리기술들이 개발되고 있다. 미국 환경청에서는 비소를 처리하기 위한 가장 적합한 기술로써 여러 가지의 기술들을 추천하고 있다. 미국 환경청의 분류를 기준으로 비소처리기술은 침전, 멤브레인, 이온교환 및 흡착의 네 가지 처리기술로 나눌 수 있다. 미국에서 최근 $50{\mu}g/L$에서 $10{\mu}g/L$로의 비소 음용수 기준의 개정은 비소오염지하수에 있는 비소를 제거하기 위한 기술의 선택과 적용에 많은 영향을 주고 있다. 침전기술은 비소처리를 위해서 가장 많이 이용되는 기술로 대규모 수처리 설비로 비소를 처리하는데 적용할 수 있는 있지만, 멤브레인, 이온교환 및 흡착기술은 소규모 수처리 시설에 사용된다 최근에 미국과 유럽에서는 설치비와 유지비가 적고 운전이 간편한 흡착기술을 이용한 소규모 비소처리 시설에 많은 관심을 가지고 있는 추세이다 비소로 오염된 지하수를 처리하기 위한 처리기술들의 원리와 비소제거에 영향을 미치는 인자 및 실제 처리시설들의 비소처리효율을 본 논문에서 소개하고자 한다.

Four crop plant species were tested to assess an ecotoxicity in arsenic-amended soils. Test plants were Sorghum bicolor, Cucumis sativus, Triticum aestivum, and Phaseolus radiatus. The presence of arsenic decreased the root and shoot growths. Arsenite was more toxic than arsenate to all test plants. Root growths of Phaseolus radiatus and Cucumis sativus seem to be a good protocol to assess ecotoxicity of soils contaminted by arsenic.

In this study, we evaluated effect of particle size on arsenic solid-state speciation and bioaccessibility in soils highly contaminated with arsenic from smelting and mining. Soils were partitioned into six particle size fractions ($2000-500{\mu}m$, $500-250{\mu}m$, $250-150{\mu}m$, $150-75{\mu}m$, $75-38{\mu}m$, <$38{\mu}m$), and arsenic solid-state speciation and bioaccessibility were characterized in each particle size fraction. Arsenic solid-state speciation was characterized via sequential extraction and XRD analysis, and arsenic bioaccessibility was evaluated by SBRC (Solubility Bioaccessibility Research Consortium) method. In smelter site soil, arsenic was mainly present as arsenic bound to amorphous iron oxides. Fine particle size fractions showed higher arsenic concentration, but lower arsenic bioaccessibility. On the other hand, arsenic in mine site soil showed highest concentration in largest particle size fraction ($2000-500{\mu}m$), while higher bioaccessibility was observed in smaller particle size fractions. Arsenic in mine site soil was mainly present as arsenolite ($As_2O_3$) phase, which seemed to affect the distribution of arsenic and arsenic bioaccessibility in different particle size fractions of the mine soil.

Recently, the contamination with heavy metals in closed mines has been seriously considered since it can disturb human health through the polluted drinking-water and crops. Therefore, the concerns about the remediation of polluted land and treatment technology for hazardous matters have been accelerated. However, any of practical methods for treatment and/or remediation have not been yet suggested. In this research, a novel technology was studied to immobilize arsenic in tailings and soils disturbed by mining. In this technology, Fenton-like reaction were applied to immobilize arsenic in tailings. In the examination of Fenton-like reaction using pure pyrite, $H_2O$$_2$ and arsenic, the concentrations of extracted arsenic and iron were reduced up to 90 and 75%, respectively From the result of SEM-EDS, the Immobilization of arsenic was observed on the surface of pyrite. Thus, it can be said that the coating and/or adsorption prevents the extraction of arsenic.
