A volumetric method of the determination of calcium carbonate and calcium fluoride in fluorspar concentrate is described. The carbonate is converted into solution by treatment of the sample in HNO$_3$-acetone (l% by volume) mixture, and the fluoride by treating the residue with H$_3BO_3$-HCl mixture. The calcium in the solution is determined volumetrically using EDTA standard solution. The selective dissolution of calcium carbonate by HNO$_3$-acetone mixture is superior to Bidtel's acetic method and little correction for the dissolution of calcium fluoride is needed. Triethanolamine is found to be superior to KCN in masking heavy metal ions.

슈베르트마나이트로부터 침철석으로의 전이 시 일어나는 광물학적 변화 및 이와 연관된 중금속의 거동을 알아보기 위하여 달성광산의 광산배수 정화시설 소택지에 침전된 침전물을 대상으로 광물학적 연구와 지구화학적 연구를 수행하였다. XRD 연구결과 초기에 광산배수로부터 침전된 슈베르트마나이트는 대부분 침철석으로 전이되어 상부 일부에서만 슈베르트마나이트가 관찰되었다. SEM으로 광물 전이에 따른 외부형태 변화를 관찰한 결과 눈에 띄는 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 광물전이는 용해-챔전의 과정보다는 고체상에서의 전이가 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 슈베르트마나이트와 침철석에 흡착 또는 공침된 중금속들 중 Pb와 Cu의 경우 광산배수의 중금속 농도에 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 농도를 보였으며 나머지 중금속들은 상대적인 양에 있어서 비슷한 값을 보였다. 상부 슈베르트마나이트에서 하부의 침철석으로 전이가 일어나면서 광물 내 함유된 중금속의 함량은 일부 시료를 제외하고 전체적으로 눈에 띄는 변화를 보이지 않았으며 이는 슈베르트마나이트에서 침철석으로 전이되는 과정에서 고체 상태에서 전이가 일어나면서 추가적인 중금속의 용출이나 흡착이 없었음을 지시한다.

This study estimated stabilization efficiency of As and heavy metal contaminated agricultural soil in abandoned mine through pot experiment. Also contaminants uptake of plant (lettuce) was compared as function of amendment (limestone, steelmaking slag and the mixture of these) addition. In soil solution analysis, concentration of contaminants in soil solutions which added limestone or steelmaking slag were lower than that of the mixture. Especially in As analysis, concentration with 5% (wt) addition of steelmaking slag showed the lowest value among those with other amendments. This seems that As stabilization happens through Fe adsorption during precipitation of Fe by pH increasing. Leachability of As in stabilized soil by TCLP was represented similar result with soil solution analysis. However leachability of heavy metals in stabilized soil was similar with that of non-stabilized soil due to dissolution of alkali precipitant by weak acid. Contaminants uptake rate by plant was also lower when limestone or steelmaking slag was used. However this study revealed that concentration of contaminants in soil solution didn't affect to the uptake rate of plant directly. Because lower $R^2$ (coefficient of determination) was represented in linear regression analysis between soil solution and plant.

A protective oxide layer forms on the material surfaces of a Nuclear Power Plant during operation due to high temperature. These oxides can host radionuclides, the activated corrosion products of fission products, resulting in decommissioning workers' exposure. These deposited oxides are iron oxides such as Fe₃O₄, Fe₂O₃ and mixed ferrites such as nickel ferrites, chromium ferrites, and cobalt ferrites. Developing a new chemical decontamination technology for domestic CANDU-type reactors is challenging due to variations in oxide compositions from different structural materials in a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) system. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has already developed a chemical decontamination process for PWRs called 'HyBRID' (Hydrazine-Based Reductive metal Ion Decontamination) that does not use organic acids or organic chelating agents at all. As the first step to developing a new chemical decontamination technology for the Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) system, we investigated magnetite dissolution behaviors in various HyBRID inorganic acidic solutions to assess their applicability to the PHWR reactor system, which forms a thicker oxide film.

고성군에 위치한 폐구리광산의 중금속 오염범위와 정도 및 환경위해성을 평가하기 위하여 광산지역으로부터 토양과 벼를 채취하여 중금속 함량을 분석하였다. 중금속 함량은 논토양에 비해 산토양에서 훨씬 높았다. 중금속 전함량은 산토양에서 Cu>Zn>Pb>As>Cr>Cd, 논토양에서 Zn>Pb>Cu>Cr>As>Cd 순으로 감소하였으며, 0.1/1N HCl에 의한 중금속 용출량은 산토양에서 Cu>Pb>Zn>As>Cd>Cr, 논토양에서 Pb>Cu>Zn>As>Cd>Cr 순으로 나타났다. 중금속 용출비는 시료채취지점에 따라 매우 다양하였지만 평균적으로는 Cd(16%)>Pb(10%)>Cu(9%)>As(4.5%)>Zn-Cr(${\le}2.5%$)의 순이었다. 조사대상 토양들은 지각평균값에 비해 중금속이 부화되어 있으며 그 순서는 $As{\ge}Cd>Pb>Zn>Cu>Cr$이었다. 토양의 중금속 전함량 또는 용출량으로부터 계산한 오염지수는 중금속 오염이 폐구리광산 특히 삼산제일광산 주변의 산토양에 국한되어 있음을 나타내었다. 현미 중의 중금속함량은 As $nd{\sim}0.87mg/kg,\;Cd\;0.02{\sim}0.34mg/kg,\;Cu\;1.01{\sim}6.25mg/kg,\;Mn\;13.4{\sim}43.2mg/kg,\;Pb\;0.09{\sim}2.83mg/kg$ 및 $Zn\;16.5{\sim}79.1mg/kg$으로 심각하게 오염된 수준은 아니었다. 토양 pH와 함께 중금속의 용출 및 분포특성들은 이 지역 중금속 오염의 대부분이 중금속의 용해 순환보다는 폐광석과 맥석광물의 쇄설성 이동에 의해 진행되고 있음을 시사하였다.

In this study, an accelerated carbonation process was applied to stabilize hazardous heavy metals of industrial solid waste incineration (ISWI) bottom ash and fly ash, and to reduce $CO_2$ emissions. The most commonly used method to stabilize heavy metals is accelerated carbonation using a high water-to-solid ratio including oxidation and carbonation reactions as well as neutralization of the pH, dissolution, and precipitation and sorption. This process has been recognized as having a significant effect on the leaching of heavy metals in alkaline materials such as ISWI ash. The accelerated carbonation process with $CO_2$ absorption was investigated to confirm the leaching behavior of heavy metals contained in ISWI ash including fly and bottom ash. Only the temperature of the chamber at atmospheric pressure was varied and the $CO_2$ concentration was kept constant at 99% while the water-to-solid ratio (L/S) was set at 0.3 and $3.0dm^3/kg$. In the result, the concentration of leached heavy metals and pH value decreased with increasing carbonation reaction time whereas the bottom ash showed no effect. The mechanism of heavy metal-stabilization is supported by two findings during the carbonation reaction. First, the carbonation reaction is sufficient to decrease the pH and to form an insoluble heavy metal-material that contributes to a reduction of the leaching. Second, the adsorbent compound in the bottom ash controls the leaching of heavy metals; the calcite formed by the carbonation reaction has high affinity of heavy metals. In addition, approximately 5 kg/ton and 27 kg/ton $CO_2$ were sequestrated in ISWI bottom ash and fly ash after the carbonation reaction, respectively.

There have been only a few studies focused on the stabilization of metal (loid)s in anaerobic soils such as paddy soils. In this study, laboratory-scale column tests were conducted to artificially manipulate anoxic conditions in submerged paddy fields and we observed the release behavior of As, Cd, Pb, and Zn, as well as to examine the stabilization effect of steel refining slag (SRS) on the metal(loid)s. The leachate samples were collected and chemical parameters were monitored during the test period. Results suggest that anoxic conditions were developed during submersion, and that As or heavy metals (particularly Cd) fractions bound to ferrous (Fe) /manganese (Mn) oxides were easily dissociated. Moreover, As is also reduced by itself to a trivalent form with higher mobility in the reducing environment of rice paddy soil. However, it was also shown that SRS significantly decreased the dissolution of Zn, Pb, Cd, and As in the the leachates; their removal rates in the SRS-treated soil were 66 %, 45 %, 24 %, and 84 %, respectively, of those in the control soil.

The effects of sludge and fertilizer application on germination and seedling growth of woody plants on heavy metal mine tailings were evaluated by greenhouse experiment. Two different mine tailings (Lead-zinc mine tailings from Kwangmyong, Kyonggi-do and tungsten mine tailings from Sangdong. Kangwon-do). four fertilizer treatments (N +P +K: 20, 40, 60, and 80 kg/m$^3$), and four sewage sludge treatments (5.5, 11, 22.5, and 45 Mg/m$^3$) were used in the experiment. Tested plants were Pinus densiflora, Larix leptolepis, Amorpha fruticosa, and Alnus hirsuta. There were three replicates for each treatment. In addition, vermiculite was used instead of mine tailings to determine the effect of physical amendments. Fifty seeds of a species were sown in a pot (upper diameter 13.5 cm, depth 10 cm) and seedling emergence were recorded daily for 30 days. The highest germination rate was 53% for all treatments. Germination rate of Larix leptolepis was lowest among the four species studied. One month later after seeding, seedlings were thinned and only 5 seedling were left in each pot, and fertilizer and sewage sludge were applied once again. Growth of seedlings were determined for 10 weeks since then. Most plants grew very poorly or died within 5 weeks on lead/zinc mine tailings from Kwangmyong. The analysis of heavy metal contents by the total dissolution method showed that heavy metals generally increased in the order of tungsten mine tailings from Sangdong < sewage sludge from Puchon < lead/zinc mine tailings from Kwangmyong. Growth of woody plants was improved significantly by the fertilizer treatments on tungsten mine tailings. In contrast. survival and growth of woody plants were not affected significantly by the sewage sludge treatment on both tailings. This study shows that fertilizer applied to established seeded stands may provide some benefits in terms of increased ground cover in the field. It is suggested that reclamation should be proceeded by the study of the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of mine tailings.

본 연구에서는 철이 주성분 이면서 다양한 금속산화물의 조성을 갖는 채광물질인 철광사(Iron Sand)를 구리 혹은 납을 함유한 합성폐수 처리에 대한 적용성을 조사하였다. 먼저 철광사의 내산성을 조사하기 위해 pH $2{\sim}4.5$ 범위에서 철 및 알루미늄의 용출특성을 조사였을 때, 가장 많은 조성을 갖는 철의 용출량은 강산성인 pH 2에서도 수질오염 배출기준 이하로 나타났다. 알루미늄의 경우 pH 2에서는 상당량의 용출현상이 나타났지만 pH 3 이상에서는 용출농도가 급격히 감소하였다. 이러한 내산성 실험결과는 철광사를 pH 3 이상에서의 폐수처리에 적용하는 데는 큰 문제가 없는 것을 제시한다. 철광사의 중금속 흡착능력을 조사하기 위해 구리 및 납을 흡착질로 사용하고 실험실 규모의 회분식 흡착실험과 칼럼 여과실험을 실시하였다. pH 5에서 철광사에 의한 구리이온의 제거는 반응초기 시간대에 빠르게 이루어졌으며 2시간이 경과되었을 때 구리 주입량의 50%가 제거되었으며 24시간 경과 후에 거의 완전한 흡착평형에 도달하였다. 철광사에 대한 Cu(II) 및 Pb(II)의 흡착은 pH 2 이상에서 증가되기 시작하였으며 pH 6 이상에서는 거의 모든 흡착질들이 제거되는 전형적인 양이온형 흡착경향을 보였다. 철광사에 대한 구리 및 납 흡착질의 농도비 변화에 따른 흡착등은 실험결과, 구리 및 납의 최대 흡착량은 각각 2,170 mg/kg 및 3,450 mg/kg으로 나타났다.
