Experimental studies were performed to investigate speciation and leaching potential of heavy metals(Cu, Cd, Pb Zn, Ni) in ten sediment samples collected from Nakdong River. Acid Volatile Sulfide (AVS) and Simultaneously Extractable Metals (SEM) measurements were used to estimate heavy metals that can be leached under anaerobic conditions. Sequential Extraction Procedure (SEP) and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) were used to characterize speciation and leaching potential of heavy metals under aerobic conditions. The results show that total concentrations of Cu, Zn and Ni were relatively high in the sediments from points Seongseo industrial complex stream (upper stream) (D), Seongseo industrial complex stream (midstream) (E), Dalseo stream (F), and Nakdong river estuary (J), and that Cd concentrations were higher in all sampling points except for Goriung Bridge (G) and Soosan Bridge (H). SEM and AVS analyses reveal that samples from points Ilsun Bridge (A), Namgumi Bridge (C), and Soosan Bridge (H) have potential of heavy metals leaching, although leachable concentrations are relatively low. The leaching potential of heavy metals in other points was low because of higher concentrations of AVS than SEM. SEP results show that more than 50% of Cu, Zn and Ni were present in residual fraction, which means these metals are less amenable to leaching in anaerobic conditions. On the other hand, more than 50% of Pb and Cd were extracted during the first through third step of the SEP, which means substantial fraction of these metals can be leached upon changing of redox conditions. TCLP tests predict that leaching potential of heavy metals was generally low, which is consistent with the results obtained by AVS and SEM measurements.

In this study, a risk-based cleanup approach using the leaching potential was suggested for the soil vapor extraction (SVE) process. A multi-component model was adopted with local equilibrium assumption (LEA), and Raoult's law was applied to estimate the leaching potential for BTEX. Finally, a risk analysis was conducted based on the leaching pontential calculated. To complete the feasibility of this approach, more investigations and discussions will be required in future.

This study was objected to evaluate the potential impact on the groundwater environment of the coal bottom ash used as fill materials on the land surface. From four coal-fired power plants, bottom-ashes were collected and analyzed through sequential extraction and column leaching tests following the meteoric water mobility procedure. The column tests shown leaching heavy metals including Pb, As, B, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, Ba, Sr, Sb, V, Cr, Mo, and Hg. The relatively high concentrations of B, Sr, Ba, and V in leachate were attributed to both the higher concentrations in the bottom ash and the relatively higher portion of leachable state, sorbed state, of metals. Bottom-ash samples from the D-plant only show high leaching potential of sulfate ($SO_4$), probably originated from the coal-combustion process, called the Fluidized Bed Combustion. Consequently, to manage recycling bottom ashes as fill materials, an evaluation system should be implemented to test the leaching potentials of metals from the ashes considering the absolute amount of metals and their state of existence in ashes, and the coal-combustion process.

The proper management of discarded electronic devices (often called electronic-waste) is an emerging issue for solid waste professionals throughout the world because of the large growth of the waste stream, and the content of toxic metals in them, most notably heavy metals such as lead. Notebook computers are becoming one of the major components of discarded computer devices and will continue to increase in the waste stream in the future. While the computers hold great promise for recycling, a substantial amount of this waste is often disposed in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is commonly used to simulate worse case leaching conditions where a potentially hazardous waste is assumed to be disposed along with municipal solid waste in a landfill with actively decomposing materials overlying an aquifer. The objective of this study was to examine leaching potential of lead from discarded notebook computers using the scale-up TCLP, other standard leaching tests such as California waste extraction test (Cal WET), and the synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) and actual landfill leachates as leaching solution. The scale-up TCLP is a modified TCLP (where the device was disassembled and leached in or near entirety) to meet the intent of the TCLP. The results showed that the scale-up TCLP resulted in relatively high lead found in the leachate with an average of 23.3 mg/L. The average level was less than those by the standard TCLP and WET (37.0 mg/L and 86.0 mg/L, respectively), but much greater than those by the SPLP and the extractions with the landfill leachates (0.55 mg/L and 1.47 mg/L, respectively). The pH of the leaching solution and the ability of the organic acids in the TCLP and WET to complex with the lead were identified as major factors that controlled the amount of lead leached from notebook computers. Based on the results obtained by a number of leaching tests in this study, notebook computers may present a potential leaching risk to the environment and human health upon land disposal. However, further investigation is still needed to assess the true risk posed by the land disposal of discarded notebook computers.

This study was Performed to evaluate the effective solidification of Cd sludge using cement and power plant fly ash as cement admixture, to identify the leaching characteristics of the heavy metal Cd sludge solidified, and to develope proper KLT(Korean Leaching Test) of hazardous waste. KLT was compared with EPT(Extraction Procedure Toxicity) and TCLP(Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure). Fly ash contents ranged from 0% to 30% of cement weight. The experimental results showed that the optimum amount of fly ash replaced was 10% to 15% and KLT was less appropriate than EPA and TCLP. Also the purpose of the study was to suggest the modification factors on the leaching test currently used, based on the above mentioned aspects. The effects of pH, leaching time, leaching for agitating intensity, and leaching solvent were investigated. As the result of test, the leaching potential was relatively high when the pH and agitation intensity of leaching solution were 5 and 150rpm, respectively. Leaching time of six hours was found to be sufficient and the use of acetic acid as a leaching solvent is more useful in landfill site particularly.

본 연구는 불산 누출사고로 인한 토양 내 불소의 잔류여부 및 용출특성을 파악하여 장 단기적 환경위해성을 조사하고자 하였다. pH 유지 용출시험, 연속 회분식 용출시험, 주상용출시험 등을 적용하였다. 이는 다양한 환경과 시간범위에서 불소의 용출정도를 조사하여 이동도 및 용출특성을 포괄적으로 이해하고자 함이다. 대부분의 토양시료에 대하여 pH가 알칼리성으로 증가할수록 수산화이온과의 경쟁 및 치환으로 인하여 불소의 용출농도 역시 증가하였다. 연속 회분식 용출시험에서는 인공오염 토양시료에서 초기 불소의 용출농도가 매우 높게 나타났으나 2차 용출 이후 현장토양시료와 유사한 낮은 용출농도를 보였다. 또한, 주상용출시험의 경우도 인공오염 토양시료에서의 초기 용출단계에서 다량의 불소가 용출되는 경향을 나타냈다. 다양한 용출시험 결과 초기 토양입자표면에 잔류한 불소는 비교적 초기에 쉽게 제거되는 것을 확인하였으며, 사고로 인한 잔류불소의 영향은 2년이 지난 현재 시점에서 매우 적다고 판단된다. 따라서 실제 화학물질 사고와 같은 외부적인 영향을 받은 환경피해지역 토양에 대하여 즉각적인 오염확산관리가 선행되어야 할 것이다.

The characteristics of Lake Cheonhoji water and sediment were investigated in oder to utilize these as fundamental materials for the management of lake water quality. The hydrographic properties of Lake Cheonhoji which are relatively low chance of nutrients loading from the watershed and a long retention time of lake water, lead to the probability of high lake productivity. It was also observed that lake water showed stratification during summer and complete mixing during fall, even though water depth was relatively shallow. The trophic state was eutrophic to hypertrophic from summer to late fall. The overall properties of the sediment were oligohumic, high ignition loss and high composition of NAIP and Resid.-P, which might serve as potential pollution sources of lake water quality. In laboratory scale experiments, it was observed that leaching potential of nutrients in the sediment was greatly dependant upon water temperature and dissolved oxygen. Finally, water pollution in Lake Cheonhoji was considered to be largely due to the adverse cycle of uncontrollable eutrophication, which resulted in the subsequent occurrence of dead algae and animal plankton, organic sedimentation, reduction of dissolved oxygen and nutrients leaching, which again reinforced the cycle of eutrophication in the lake.
