Passive treatment systems are commonly used for remediation of mine drainage waters because they do not require continuous chemical inputs and operation. In this study, the selection and design criteria for such systems were evaluated, particularly the two most commonly used ones, i.e., permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) and vertical flow biological reactors (VFBRs). PRBs and VFBRs are operated on the same principles in terms of biochemical reaction mechanisms, whereas differences relate to configuration, engineering, and water management. In this study, each of these systems were described with respect to key design variables, such as metal removal mechanisms and removal rates, effectiveness and longevity, general design and construction, flow capacity, and cost. The information provided from this study could be used as a design guideline when a passive treatment option is considered for potential remediation of a mine site.

Geophysical surveys (electrical resistivity, self-potential, and magnetic methods) and streamwater sample analysis have been carried out at a site of tailings of waste deposits in an abandoned mine, Jangpoong, which is situated in Kowesan-Gun, Chungbuk-Do. The research was aimed at investigating the suitability of the various geophysical methods for detection of AMD (acid mine drainage) paths, and ultimately mapping of preferred AMD flow channels by incorporating the water sample analysis. Electrical resistivity section from the dipole-dipole line represents the low-resistivity zone trending northwest toward the stream nearby. The positions of the resistivity anomalies for AMD channels are well correlated to the ones from the various geophysical surveys. In addition they correspond to the sites of the higher peaks for the pH, EC, heavy metal content for the water sample data.

폐 석탄광산에서 가장 큰 환경문제는 산성광산배수가 유출되어 주변 하천수의 pH를 낮추고 철/알루미늄 수산화물을 하천바닥에 침전시키며 주변 토양을 오염시키는 것이다. 삼봉광산에서 물시료와 침전물 시료는 갱구 입구에서 채취하였다. 채취한 갱내수의 pH 값의 범위는 겨울에 7.24-7.94이며, 여름에 3.87-5.73이다. 전기전도도는 갱내수가 유입되는 하천에서 $432-897{\mu}S/cm$이다. 갱내수의 Mg, Al, Ca, Mn의 최고 농도값은 각각 15.50, 4.56, 85.30, 12.76 mg/L이다. 적갈색의 침전물은 겨울에는 Munsell color 10R-5YR 정도로 주구성광물은 2-line 페리하이드라이트이며, 여름에는 2.5YR-5Y의 범위로 주구성광물은 슈워트마나이트이다. 주사전자현미경 관찰 결과 침전물은 막대형 혹은 원통형이거나, $0.1-0.5{\mu}m$의 구균형이나 구형을 나타내고 있다.

Fine suspended solids generated effluence from treatment process of mine drainage could destroy environment as the aesthetic landscapes, and depreciate water quality. Therefore, the purpose of this research is focused on process development applied the actual field for controlling fine suspended solids and heavy metals, and so lab-scale test was performed for inducement of basic data. The mine drainage used in this research was sampled in H mine located Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do. Concentration of suspended solid, arsenic, iron and manganese was exceeded the standard of contaminant limitation for the clean water, and particle size of suspended solid was less than 10 m as fine particle. Although hydraulic retention time of mine drainage for effective settling was required more than 6 hours, hydraulic retention time would be increased in winter season when the settling efficiency could be reduced because of viscosity decreasing. Moreover, installed inclination plate helped to increase settling efficiency of suspended solid about 48 %. Filtering media that was the most effective removal of suspended solids and heavy metal was decided granular activated carbon of 1~2 mm was the optimal size.

Mine waters, surface waters and groundwaters were sampled around seven Au-Ag mine areas (Dongil, Okdong, Dongjung, Songcheon, Ssangjeon, Dogok and Gubong Au-Ag mines). The main contamination sources of As in these abandoned Au-Ag mines can be suggested as mine tailings and waste rocks including the sulfide gangue minerals (arsenopyrite). The relatively high concentration of As in mine waters was shown in the Dongil (524 ${\mu}g/L$) and the Dogok (56 ${\mu}g/L$) mine areas. Arsenic concentrations in stream waters from the Dongil ($0.9\~118{\mu}g/L$), the Songchon ($0.8\~63{\mu}g/L$), the Ssangjeon ($1.6\~109{\mu}g/L$) and the Gubong ($3.6\~63{\mu}g/L$) mine areas exceeded the permissible level for stream water in Korea. Groundwaters collected from the Dongil ($0.9\~64{\mu}g/L$ ), the Okdong ($0.2\~69{\mu}g/L$) and the Gubong ($0.5\~101{\mu}g/L$) mine areas contained high As concentration to cause the arsenicosis in these areas. In As speciation, the concentration ratios of As(III) to As(total) present up to $75\%$ and $100\%$ in stream waters from the Okdong and the Songcheon mines, and $70\%$ in groundwaters from the Okdong and the Dongjung mines. Arsenic concentration decreases downstream from the tailing dump correlatively with pH and Fe concentration. Highly elevated As concentrations are found in the dry season (such as April and March) than in the wet season (September) due to the dilution effect by heavy rain during summer in stream waters from the Dongil and the Songcheon mine areas.

경상북도 문경 부근에 위치하는 폐광산인 단붕탄광의 폐석장에서 유출되는 산성광산수의 조성변화를 보기 위하여 1995년 장마 전, 후 및 1997년 장마 전에 하천수와 퇴적물을 채취하여 금속원소의 함량을 분석하였다. 건기 동안에 폐석장 내에서 누적된 황철석의 산화산물이 강우량의 증가에 의해 유출됨으로써 장마 전보다 장마후에 하천수의 pH가 낮아지고 금속농도가 증가하였다. 2년의 시간이 경과한 후는 pH가 1이상 낮아졌으며 금속농도는 2배 이상 증가하여 산성광산수에 의한 오염의 진행이 심화되고 있음을 나타냈다. 적색과 백색으로 나타나는 Fe와 Al수산화물 및 황산염 등의 침전물의 공간적인 분포도 산성광산수의 조성변화를 반영하여 변화하였다. 1995년에 비해 1997년에는 적색침전물이 더 멀리까지 분포하고 백색침전물은 1995년도에는 발견되지 않던 하류까지 확장 분포하였으며 이들 침전물에 결합된 금속이온들의 함량도 수배 내지 수십 배 증가하였다.

경북 봉화군에 소재한 폐광산인 다덕광산 광미장 및 인근 농경지를 대상으로 금속성분 및 시안의 분포특성과 광미장을 통과하여 방류하는 산성침출수의 생성원인을 파악하였다. 토양오염 공정 시험법에 의한 분석자료에 의하면 광미장 주변의 논 및 밭에서 As이 농경지 토양오염대책 기준인 15mg/kg을 초과하여 광미의 유입에 의해 토양이 오염되는 것으로 나타났다. 광미중에는 As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn 및 5 등이 매우 높게 함유된 것으로 나타났고 특히 산화가 진행된 광미장 지표면 부근의 광미에는 이러한 성분들이 용탈되어 산성침출수가 농수로 방류되고 있다. 따라서 토양오염 및 농수로의 오염의 확산 방지를 위해서는 광산주변에 산재하고 있는 광미 및 광미장에 대한환경오염방지 대책이 필요하다고 판단된다.

This study has focused on investigation on As and heavy metal contamination derived from metalliferous mining activities in the Choongbuk Province in Korea. Soil, mine effluent, surface water and ground water samples were taken in and around 27 abandoned metal mines, and analyzed for As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn using AAS and anions in water samples using IC. In general, the heavy metal concentrations in soils decreased with Increasing distance from the each mine audit. Tailings and mine waste soils from several mines contained over the guideline of Soil Conservation Act in Korea. Soil samples from the Seobo, Honga, Daehwa, Jeungjadong, Youngbo and Munbaek mines contained over the action levels of the metals due to intensive mining activities. Therefore, a proper remediation work needs to control the metal dispersion around the mines.

이 연구에서는 삼척탄전 내에 위치하는 폐탄광인 동해탄광을 대상으로 산성 광산폐수의 중화 처리를 위한 각종 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 산성 광산폐수의 측정시기에 따른 변화양상을 관찰한 결과 갈 수기에는 각종 잠재적 유독성 원소들의 함량이 증가하며, pH가 하락하여 수질이 악화되는 경향을 보였다. 공업용 소석회는 처리효율 및 경제성을 고려할 경우 산성 광산폐수의 처리를 위한 최적의 중화제로 판단되며, 평형 모델링 결과 중화처리과정에서 Fe는 FeOOH의 형태로, Al은 Al(OH)$_3$, 의 형태로 침전되는 것으로 추정된다. GIS를 이용하여 동해탄광일대 산성 광산폐수 처리시설의 위치를 제시하였으며 수문학적 자료를 이용하여 최대강우량 및 첨두유량을 계산하였다.

The Imgok Creek is located in the Gangreung coal field, which has been known that sulfides are more abundant than other coal fields in Korea, and it has been severly contaminated by acid mine drainage (AMD) discharging from the abandoned coal mines, such as the Youngdong, the Dongduk and the Waryong coal mines. The purposes of this study are to synthetically assess the contamination of natural water, stream sediment and cultivated soils, and to provide the basic data for AMD treatment. Geochemical samples were collected in December, 1996 (dry season) and April, 1997 (after three day's rainfall). TDS of the Youngdong mine water was remarkably higher than those of other mine waters. In the Imgok Creek, concentrations of most elements, except Fe decreased with distance by dilution caused by the inflow of uncontaminated tributaries. From the results of NAMDI and $I_{geo}$ calculation, the Youngdong coal mine was the main contamination source of the study area. Groundwater pollution was not yet confirmed in this study and the paddy and farm land soils were also not yet contaminated by mining activity based on the pollution index ranging from 0.27 to 0.47.
