As the target area of this study, the coal mine site of Dongwon Sabuk mine.,ltd. is located in the remote mountainous region. To purify the acid mine water contaminated with heavy metals, a pilot-scale plant was built at the surrounded area of a mine shaft and operated to simulate active treatment system that could not only possibly setup the facility in a small available area, but also has a high efficiency. According to the various conditions of basin sequence, existence of sludge return, and lime injection position, six different types of treatment series were investigated in terms of treatment efficiency. As a result, the aluminum concentrations of the most effluents were in the range of 0.005~0.030 mg/L, which was too low to compare. The manganese concentration in the treated water were in the range of 3~9 mg/L, not following any regular trend. As found in the results of iron concentration, the case of addition of oxidation and sludge return steps showed higher efficiency than the others. As a standpoint of the installation of full-scale physicochemical treatment facility, the experimental results showed that the batch of oxidation and high density sludge return processes are existed and neutralization was followed by oxidation, had a stable treatment efficiency.

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.

폐금속 광산에서 유출되는 광산배수로 인한 하류 수계의 환경오염 영향을 검토하기 위하여 삼보광산 하류 수계 내 하천수질, 퇴적토양 및 인근 논토양에 대한 중금속 오염도를 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 삼보광산 주변 광미댐 침출수의 Cd 평균 농도(0.018~0.035 mg/L)는 우리나라 농업용수 수질기준(0.01 mg/L)을 초과하였고, 미량성분 중 Zn, Fe 및 Mn 함량도 FAO의 관개용수 최대 권고치(Zn 2.0, Fe 5.0, Mn 0.2 mg/L)를 초과 하였다. 광산 하류 논토양의 Pb, Zn 평균함량은 우리나라 농경지의 토양오염 우려기준(Pb 200, Zn 300 mg/kg)을 초과 하였고, 중금속 오염지수 평균치는 상리가 1.2로 내리지역0.45보다 높게 나타났다. 광산 하류 수계 내 퇴적토의 Cd, Pb 및 Zn 함량은 우리나라 하천용지의 토양오염 우려기준(Cd 10, Pb 400, Zn 600 mg/kg)을 초과하였다. 또한 퇴적토의 중금속 오염지수(PI)는 상리지역 0.98~7.32, 내리지역 0.34~5.27로 지점별 편차가 컸으며, 하류 1km 지점 합류지점(SN-1, SN-2)까지 오염된 것으로 나타났다. 퇴적토의 부화계수(EFc) 평균치는 Cd>Pb>Zn>As>Cu>Cr>Ni 순으로 지점간의 편차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 퇴적토의 중금속별 지화학적농축계수(Igeo)는 지점별로 약간의 차이는 있으나 Zn>Cd>Pb>Cu>As>Cr>Ni 순으로 높았으며, 특히 Zn의 경우 광산 침출수 영향을 받은 퇴적토에서 경보오염에서 위험오염(Igeo 3.1~6.2) 상태로 심하게 오염된 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 삼보광산 하류 하천수질 및 퇴적토의 오염도 평가를 종합해 볼 때 광산 침출수의 영향이 하류 수계 1 km 이상(SN-1, SN-2)까지 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Development of a three-dimensional mine visualization model for a section of the mine is addressed first. Discontinuity orientation and location information was taken from this visualization model for use in slope stability analyses. Estimated shear strength properties of discontinuities and mechanical properties of intact rock from the rock mass samples obtained from the mine are discussed next. The third part of the paper is focused on the results obtained for maximum safe slope angles for the section considered of the mine based on block theory analysis conducted under only the gravitational forces using the mapped discontinuities at the mine. Finally, the effects of water that exist in the rock mass, a tension crack, slope face inclination, overall wedge height and double benching on factor of safety of wedge stability are illustrated through limit equilibrium slope stability analyses conducted on a single tetrahedral wedge belonging to potential key block category that exist in the investigated area of the mine.

QAMDI(Quantified Acid Mine Drainage Index) was developed for more synthesised, qualified and quantified assessment index which can be applied to both coal and metal mine drainage. QAMDI is calculated using three parameter groups i.e. acidity, sulfate contents and toxic metal contents. Since QAMDI expressed in terms of concentration. It reveals the different status of each mine drainage more clearly. QAMDI can be converted to the quantity of pollutant loading by being multiplied by the water flux.

일월탄광에는 산화조, SAPS, 소택지의 3단계 자연정화시설이 설치되어 있으며 갱내수를 모아 정화한 후 주변 하천으로 유출시키고 있다. 일월탄광 갱내수의 pH 값은 계절에 관계없이 2.28-2.42로 낮은값을 나타내지만 산화조를 거치는 동안 pH 값은 6.17-6.53 급격하게 증가한다. 정화시설에 의한 정화효율은 $SO_4$, Mg, Al, Ca, Mn은 각각 약 50%, 40%, 100%, 24%, 59%이다. 갱내수의 Fe는 아주 낮은 값($1.06-1.09mg/{\ell}$)이지만 정화시설을 거치는 동안 100%의 제거효율을 나타낸다. 이와 같이 일월탄광에 설치한 정화시설은 pH 상승과 Fe와 Al의 제거 효율은 높지만 $SO_4$, Mg, Ca, Mn 등은 60% 이하로 상대적으로 낮다. 따라서 이러한 이온을 제거하기 위해서는 다른 정화기술을 적용해야 할 것으로 판단된다. pH 2.28-2.42 범위인 갱내수가 유입되는 정화시설 바닥에 침전되는 침전물은 슈워트마나이트이며 ($Fe_8O_8(OH)_6SO_4$), pH 5.83-5.96인 침출수에서는 2-line 페리하이드라이트(2-line $Fe_2O_3{cdot}0.5H_2O$H2O)가 침전된다.

A survey was carried out to investigate the contamination of streams by the acid mine drainage originated from the abandoned coal mines and coal refuse piles. The physico-KDICical characteristics such as pH, sulfate and elements concentrations in the water and sediment in streams were analyzed. Microbial activity in the sediment was evaluated by measuring dehydrogenase activities. At sites contaminated by acid mine drainage, the pH of the water and sediment declined to acidic range from neutral due to the accumulation of sulfate. The dehydrogenase activity ranged from 12 to $170{\mu}g-TPF{\cdot}g-dry\;soil^{-1}{\cdot}24h^{-1}$ at the contaminated sites, whereas uncontaminated sites had activities of 1,176~4,259 ${\mu}g-TPF{\cdot}g-dry\;soil^{-1}{\cdot}24h^{-1}$. The dehydrogenase activity was significantly affected by low pH of the sediment, indicating that high concentration of sulfate inhibited microbial activity. The concentrations of heavy metals such as Pb and Fe in contaminated sdeiment (37~46 ppm Pb; 46,000~464,000 ppm Fe) were much higher than those in the uncontaminated sediment. The concentration of Al in the contaminated water acidfied by coal mine drainage was in the range of 11 to 42 ppm. Compared with those in the uncontaminated sediment, the concentrations of Mn, Mg and Ca in contaminated sediment were low because of the leaching from soil to water by the acidfied stream water.

This study examined evaluation on stabilization of major and trace elements in tailings by various surface water-preventing materials. Six columns were filled with tailings of the Sinlim mine, then covered with tailings only, compacted soils, clay, soil-bentonite mixture, pozzolan and bentonite mat. After injection of artificial rain water, the leachate was sampled with times (3, 6, 9 and 12 pore volume) and analysed for major (Ca, Na, Mg, K) and trace elements (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) by ICP-AES. With exception to pozzolan type, the pH values of leachate from the other types became stabilized from 5.5 to 7.5, and EC (electric conductivity) of leachate from them decreased with times. For the pozzolan type, however, the pH and EC of leachate increased with time due to its alkalinity producing system. Concentrations of most major and trace elements in leachate decreased and stabilized with time. Consequently, soil-bentonite mixed cover shows the best ability of water-preventing and reducing mobility of elements in tailings site.
