광물찌꺼기의 효율적인 활용을 위하여 부유선별공정에서 배출되어 1차 분급된 시료를 대상으로 정밀분급을 실시하였다. 0.1 MPa - 0.3 MPa의 주입압력(공급유량)과 5% - 15%의 광액농도 조건에서 2인치 습식사이클론을 이용하여 분급시험을 진행한 결과, 주입압력 (공급유량)이 감소할수록 광액농도가 증가할수록 분리입도는 증가하였다. 광액농도 5%와 주입압력 0.3 MPa의 조건에서 overflow와 underflow의 평균입도는 각각 $6.56{\mu}m$와 $55.45{\mu}m$를 나타내었다. 분급효율은 광액농도를 증가시키거나 주입압력을 감소시킬수록 이상적인 분급효과에 근접하였다. 광액농도가 증가할수록 탈수효과는 증가하며, 주입압력에 따른 변화는 크지 않았다. 광액농도 15 %와 주입압력 0.3 MPa의 조건에서 underflow의 함수율은 27.9%로 나타났다.

충청북도 단양 월악산국립공원 상류지역의 봉양폐탄광으로부터 발생하는 산성광산배수의 오염 특징과 침전물의 특성을 수질화학분석, XRD, 주사전자현미경(SEM), 적외선분광분석(IR), 핵자기공명분석($^{27}Al$ NMR)을 이용하여 연구하였다. 수질은 pH와 용존이온의 침전에 따라서 변화하며, 포화지수 계산 결과 철, 알루미늄 광물종이 다수 과포화되어 있다. 오렌지색 침전물은 슈베르트마나이트와 침철석으로 구성되며, Leptothrix orchracea 박테리아가 생장한다. 백색 내지 회백색의 침전물은 대부분 독성이 강한 알루미늄 계열이 주를 이루는데, 배스알루미나이트는 결정도가 매우 낮다. 이 백색질 알루미늄광물에서는 소량의 Al-중합체 $Al_{13}$-Tridecamer가 확인된다. 봉양폐탄광의 산성광산배수를 저감, 제어하기 위해서는 무엇보다 함알루미늄 광물의 침전과 용해도를 조절하는 것이 중요하다.

The purpose of this study was that manage effectively the excavation process of the transport tunnel in DONGHAE mine area by investigating the variationof the surface and groundwater flow system around the tunnel and neighbouring villages. Thus, the effect of excavation and water-prrofing process on the water system has been studied through the naked eye survey of the tunnel and the surface outcrop, joint survey, core drilling, the measurement of the surface water quantity, evapotranspiration and precipitation analysis, rock hydraulics approach, the pressure test of boreholes, the variation of the water level, and finally the numerical analysis. From above approachs, we derived the conclusion that the exhaustion of the surface water was not caused by the tunnel excavation on the groundwater system was minimized by effective water proofing process.

Ecosystems in the Keweenaw Peninsula region of Lake Superior, USA, were disturbed by over 500 million tons of copper-rich mine tailings during the period 1850-1968. Metals leaching from these mine residues have had dramatic effects on the ecosystems. Vast acreages of exposed tailings that are over 100 years old remain unvegetated because of the combination of metal toxicity, absence of nutrients, and temperature and water stress. Therefore, it is important to characterize and fractionate solid copper phases for assessing labile forms of copper in soils and sediments contaminated by the mining wastes. X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that calcite, quartz, hematite, orthoclase, and sanidine minerals are present as major minerals, whereas cuprite,tenorite, malachite, and chalcopyrite might be present as copper minerals in the mining wastes. Sequential extraction technique revealed that carbonate and oxide fractions were the largest pools of copper (ca. 50-80%) in lakeshore and wetland stamp sands whereas the organic matter fraction was the largest reservoir (ca. 32%) in the lake sediments. The concentrations of iron and copper were inversely correlated in the oxide fraction suggesting that copper may occur as a surface coating on iron oxides. As particle size and water contents decrease, the percent of the copper bound to the labile carbonate fraction increases.

This study is to study accumulation of the heavy metals by riparian vegetation throughout analysis of the heavy metal concentration in riparian vegetation, water, and sediment near mine drainage. According to analyzing concentration of the heavy metals in riparian vegetation, water, and sediment, the heavy metal was indicated at the leaf significantly. Compared with the concentration of sediment soil, the maximum concentration of the As, Cd, CN, Pb, Zn was higher 2.6, 2.6, 2.5, non-detect, and 1.5 times in leaf, Also those concentration have 9.6, 16.6, 2.5, 1.6, and 2.5 times in root. As the results, the author can know the sediment has a very relative to vegetation in mine drainage, because the increasing of concentration of heavy metal in sediment gives the more accumulative concentration of heavy metal in vegetation. Compared with the concentration of contaminated site and non-contaminated site. As, Cd, CN, Pb, Zn the maximum concentration in sediment soil was higher 5.7, 258.1, 10.9, 370.0, and 298.3 times respectively. In case of vegetation, the maximum concentration of the As, Cd, CN, Pb, Zn was higher 5.6, 62.3, 5.0, non-detect, and 30.6 times in leaf. Also those concentration have 8.5, 63.3, 2.6, 60.7, and 62.1 times in root. In this study, the author can surmise that there indicated a lot of adsorption with the heavy metal concentration in contaminated mine drainage.

In order to evaluate the environmental impact of U anormaly in the drainage system around the Shinbo talc mine area, U contents, their distribution patterns, bioaccumulation and a-radioactivity in stream water, stream sediments and aquatic organisms were investigated. The U contents of stream water attenuated with increasing distance from the mine area. The same attenuation pattern is shown in stream sediments from mine to 0.75 km downstream, although these contain highly enriched U contents (24~83 mg/kg) comparing with the international average concentration of surface soils (0.79~11 mg/kg). However, U content increases abruptly in sediment at 1.5 km downstream, probably due to detrital migration and rediposition of U enriched sediments. Futhermore, enriched U in downstream sediments occur in high proportions of carbonate and Fe-Mn oxide bounded forms, which show high potential of a secondary pollution source. For aquatic organisms, bio accumulation degree of U are in the order: aquatic larvae>black snail>mountain frog>crawfish. Cultured trout by the U enrich groundwater (387 ${\mu}g$/l) shows U accumulation in the part of branchia (CRs 5.25) and bones (CRs 11.2) but not in flesh (CRs 0.03). Total a-radioactivity have been measured in the level as 0.47 nCi/l for groundwater, 2.94~18 nCi/kg${\cdot}$DW for organisms and 93~328 nCi/kg${\cdot}$DW for sediments.

폐광산 주변의 광미장, 폐석더미로 인해 주변 지역의 토양 및 농작물들은 중금속으로 오염 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 주변토양 용도별, 농작물 재배품목별, 광산과의 이격거리별로 분류하여 광산 주변 중금속 오염실태조사를 수행하였다. 갱구인근 지역에서 Zn와 Pb이 토양오염기준치를 초과하였으며 다른 지역에 비해 광미장 지역과 논 경작지 토양의 중금속농도가 비교적 높은 것으로 나타났다. 광산과의 이격거리에 따른 중금속 농도는 갱구에서 거리가 멀어질수록 점차 감소하였다. 토양과 쌀 시료의 중금속 상관관계는 As와 Cd이 상관관계성이 있는 것으로 나타났으나 다른 중금속들은 관계성이 없는 것으로 조사되었다.

The heavy metal contents and their dispersion patterns in stream water, stream sediments, land plants and aquatic larvae collected from the hydrologic system flowing via the wasted ore dump of the Moak Au-Ag mine were investigated systematically in order to evaluate the environmental impacts of the abandoned metal mine. The heavy metal content increases abruptly in the vicinity of the wasted ore dump, then attenuated with increasing distance from the mine area. Attenuating rates were stream water > stream sediments > land plants > aquatic larvae. On the other hand, the cumulative content of heavy metals was stream sediments >aquatic larvae > land plants > stream water. Each element tends to be enriched selectively according to media; Zn > Cu > Cd > Pb in stream water, Zn > Pb > Cu > Cd in stream sediments and land plants, and Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd in aquatic larvae. These results show that the degree of enrichment and dispersion of pollutant extruded from the wasted ore dump are different according to elements and media, and that the circulation system of materials of each medium is different. The heavy metals, especially Cu, Pb and Zn, of polluted downstream sediments occur in high proportions of Fe-Mn oxides and organic bounded forms, which show high potential of a secondary pollution source. The content of heavy metals and their dispersion patterns in stream sediments are different from those of ten years ago; pollution levels of heavy metals were degraded in various ranges. The Zn and Cu-polluted areas were widened whereas Fe and Pb-polluted areas were reduced. In crops collected from the farm lands in downstream area, the pepper was more concentrated in all heavy metal than rice. The pepper showed some contaminated level in Cu(9.7ppm) and Zn(149ppm), and the rice in Zn(90ppm). However, both crops showed no significant level in Cd(<0.2ppm) and Pb(<0.5ppm).

A silica mine monitoring was conducted from March to December in 2008 to measure rainfall, runoff amounts and pollution loads. A total of 13 rainfall-runoff events were measured and analyzed with respect to runoff ratio, pollutant concentration and load, and initial flush. Over rainfall-runoff events, 95% confidence range of SS concentration was 942.5~2,056.2 mg/L. Other measured water quality indices also showed relatively large variation. This wide concentration variation was thought to be caused by the bare working ground of the mine that was used to store, process and transport the mined silica. Total pollution load of the 13 rainfall-runoff events was SS 17,901 kg/ha, $COD_{Cr}$ 160.9 kg/ha, $COD_{Mn}$ 111.24 kg/ha, BOD 79.6 kg/ha, T-N 13.8 kg/ha, T-P 3.5 kg/ha, and TOC 39.3 kg/ha. Initial flush was not well observed except SS. Very high SS concentration and load was occurred when rainfall was large. Therefore, it was recommended to manage the bare ground not to discharge excessive pollutants during wet days by covering the ground or constructing runoff treatment systems such as a sediment basin.

구봉광산은 과거 남한의 최대 금광중의 하나였다. 광산 주변 지역에서는 천부 지하수를 생활용과 농업용 수원으로 사용하여 왔다. 이 지역에서 Cd, Cu, Pb 및 Zn에 의한 토양오염이 보고되었으며, 이로부터 이 지역의 천부지하수의 수질과 광미로 인한 영향을 규명하고자 본 연구가 시작되었다. 인근의 하천수, 지하수 및 광미지역의 침출수 시료를 채취하여 Na, K Ca, Mg 등의 주양이온과 F, Cl, NO$_3$, SO$_4$, HCO$_3$, 등의 음이온 및 Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Se, As, Hg 등의 미량 오염원소등을 분석하였다. 분석결과로부터 4가지 유형의 수질특성을 구분하였으며, 이 지역의 지하수는 알칼리니티와 염도에 의한 농업용수로서의 위해성은 없는 것으로 판명되었다. 지하수 중의 주요염물질은 비소였으며, 유비철석(arsenopyrite)의 산화로부터 기인되는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 기매립된 광미와 퇴적물을 파내는 것은 비소성분의 지하수로의 이동을 유발할 수 있다.
