산성광산배수처리를 위한 국내 대부분의 처리시설은 자연정화법을 사용하고 있으며 이들 중 일부 처리장에서는 고농도의 망간이 유출되고 있는데 이는 망간산화를 위해 높은 pH (>9)가 요구되기 때문이다. 본 연구는 망간처리 공정 중 경제성을 높일 수 있는 생물학적 망간처리의 가능성을 타진하는데 그 목적이 있으며 망간산화미생물은 Pseudomonas sp. MN5를 이용하였다. 회분식 실험을 통해 수질조건에 따른 영향을 분석한 결과 pH 7에서 최고산화속도는 $10.4mg/L{\cdot}h$로 나타났다. 망간산화미생물을 담지한 연속류 실험결과 운전 초기 망간 농도는 42 mg/L에서 6 mg/L 이하로 크게 감소하였지만 망간산화미생물의 산소소비에 의한 혐기조건 형성으로 망간의 재용출 현상이 나타났다.

산성광산배수에서 흰색 알루미늄 침전물은 pH가 상대적으로 높은 하천수와 만나 섞일 때 주로 발생한다. 이 침전물을 구성하는 광물은 산성광산배수 내 중금속 등을 흡착 공침하여 이들 중금속의 거동을 조절하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 이러한 흰색 침전물을 구성하고 있는 광물들은 추후 상변화를 거치며 그러한 과정 중에 중금속의 용해 재흡착 등이 일어날 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 흰색 침전물의 상전이 과정에 대한 기본적인 정보를 얻기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 도계광업소 주변의 하천에서 채취한 흰색 침전물을 대상으로 서로 다른 pH와 온도의 조건에서 시간이 지남에 따라 일어나는 광물상의 변화를 살펴보았다. 흰색 침전물은 주로 basaluminite와 비정질 $Al(OH)_3$ 및 미량의 $Al_{13}$-tridecamer의 혼합물로 구성되며, basaluminite의 부조화용해가 먼저 일어나 비정질 $Al(OH)_3$의 함량이 증가한 이후, pseudoboehmite의 전구물질 단계를 거쳐서 pseudoboehmite가 최종 침전되는 상전이 과정을 거친다. $80^{\circ}C$의 온도에서는 이러한 일련의 과정이 잘 나타났지만, 비교적 낮은 온도에서는 basaluminite와 비정질 $Al(OH)_3$가 공존하는 초기 침전물 상태로 남아있었다. 그리고 높은 pH는 basaluminite의 $SO{_4}^{2-}$기의 탈착을 유도하여 pseudoboehmite 전구물질로의 상전이를 촉진하였다. 시간이 지남에 따라 광물의 용해 및 상전이에 의하여 용액의 pH는 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, 최종산물인 pseudoboehmite가 형성되어도 약간의 입자의 크기 증가만 관찰되고 완전한 결정질의 형태는 보이지 않았다.

Synthetic mineral microparticles (SMM) is a patented system which has been developed to promote drainage of water and retention of fine particles during papermaking. It is shown in patents that the SMM system can have advantages in both of drainage and retention, compared with montmorillonite (bentonite), which is one of the most popular materials presently used in this kind of application. Turbidity and gravity drainage time were measured using a Britt-Jar test with representative SMM formulations, in order to confirm the efficacy of SMM covering a wide range of compositions and discover effects of some key variables that have the potential to lead to unexpected advantages in terms of the effectiveness of the microparticles, when used in combination with a cationic polyacrylamide treatment of papermaking furnish. An iron silicate showed highest retention performance, as well as suitably fast drainage time relative to other metal silicate and bentonite. Zinc silicate improved retention and drainage. SMM synthesized from aluminum sulfate ($Al_2(SO_4){_3}$) did not show a benefit in retention and drainage, relative to bentonite. SMM synthesized from aluminum chloride ($AlCl_3$) performed better in drainage and retention than bentonite when the Al/Si ratios were 0.76 and 1.00. It was found that when the Al/Si ratio and neutralization are considered, pH variation due to the change of Al/Si ratio can be a key factor to control the size of primary metal silicate particles and the degree of coagulation of the primary particles.

In Korea, hundreds of abandoned and closed coal and metallic mines are present in the steep mountain valleys due to the depression of the mining industry since the late 1980s. From these mines, enormous amounts of coal waste were dumped on the slopes, which causes sedimentation and acid mine drainage (AMD) to be discharged directly into streams causing detrimental effects on soil and water environments. A limestone slurry by-product (lime cake) is produced from the Solvay process in manufacturing soda ash. It has very fine particles, low hydraulic conductivities ($10^{-8}{\sim}10^{-9}cm/sec$), high pH, high EC due to the presence of CaO, MgO and $CaCl_2$ as major components, and traces of heavy metals. Due to these properties, it has potential to be used as a neutralizer for acid-producing materials. A field plot experiment was used to test the application of lime cake for reclaiming coal wastes. Each plot was 20 x 5 m (L x W) in size on a 56% slope. Treatments included a control (waste only), calcite ($CaCO_3$), and lime cake. The lime requirement (LR) for the coal waste to pH 7.0 was determined and treatments consisted of adding 100%, 50%, and 25% of the LR. The lime cake and calcite were also applied in either a layer between the coal waste and topsoil or mixed into the topsoil and coal waste. Each plot was hydroseeded with grasses and planted with trees. In each plot, surface runoff and subsurface water were collected. The lime cake treatments increased the pH of coal waste from 3.5 to 6, and neutralized the pH of the runoff and leachate of the coal waste from 4.3 to 6.7.

The seasonal changes in pH, Fe, Al and SO$_4$$\^$2-/ contents of acid drainage released from coal mine dumps play a major role in precipitation of metal hydroxides in the Taebaek coal field area, southeastern Korea. Precipitates in the creeks underwent a cycle of the color change showing white, reddish brown and brownish yellow, which depends on geochemical factors of the creek waters. White precipitates consist of Al-sulfate (basaluminite and hydrobasaluminite) and reddish brown ones are composed of ferrihydrite and brownish yellow ones are of schwertmannite. Goethite coprecipitates with ferrihydrite and schwertmannite. Ferrihydrite formed at higher values than pH 5.3 and schwertmannite precipitated below pH 4.3, and goethite formed at the intermediate pH range between the two minerals. With the pH being increased from acid to intermediate regions, Fe is present both as schwertmannite and goethite. From the present observation, the most favorable pH that basauluminte can precipitate is in the range of pH 4.45-5.95. SEM examination of precipitates at stream bottom shows that they basically consist of agglomerates of spheroid and rod-shape bacteria. Bacteria species are remarkably different among bottom precipitates and, to a less extent, there are slightly different chemical compositions even within the same bacteria. The speciation and calculation of the mineral saturation index were made using MINTEQA2. In waters associated with yellowish brown precipitates mainly composed of schwertmannite, So$_4$ species is mostly free So$_4$$\^$2-/ ion with less AlSo$_4$$\^$+/, CaSo$\sub$(aq)/, and MgSo$\sub$4(aq)/. Ferrous iron is present mostly as free Fe$\^$2+/, and FeSo$\sub$4(aq)/ and ferric iron exists predominantly as Fe(OH)$_2$$\^$+/, with less FeSo$\sub$4(aq)/, Fe(OH)$_2$$\^$-/, FeSo$_4$$\^$-/ and Fe$\^$3+/, respectively Al exists as free Al$\^$3+/, AlOH$_2$$\^$-/, (AlSo$_4$)$\^$+/, and Al(So$_4$)$\^$2-/. Fe is generally saturated with respect to hematite, magnetite, and goethite, with nearly saturation with lepidocrocite. Aluminum and sulfate are supersaturated with respect to predominant alunite and less jubanite, and they approach a saturation state with respect to diaspore, gibbsite, boehmite and gypsum. In the case of waters associated with whitish precipitates mainly composed of basaluminite, Al is present as predominant Al$\^$3+/ and Al(SO$_4$)$\^$+/, with less Al(OH)$\^$2+/, Al(OH)$_2$$\^$+/ and Al(SO$_4$)$\^$2-/. According to calculation for the mineral saturation, aluminum and sulfate are greatly supersaturated with respect to basaluminite and alunite. Diaspore is flirty well supersaturated while jubanite, gibbsite, and boehmite are already supersaturated, and gypsum approaches its saturation state. The observation that the only mineral phase we can easily detect in the whitish precipitate is basaluminite suggests that growth rate of alunite is much slower than that of basaluminite. Neutralization of acid mine drainage due to the dilution caused by the dilution effect due to mixing of unpolluted waters prevails over the buffering effect by the dissolution of carbonate or aluminosilicates. The main factors to affect color change are variations in aqueous geochemistry, which are controlled by dilution effect due to rainfall, water mixng from adjacent creeks, and the extent to which water-rock interaction takes place with seasons. pH, Fe, Al and SO$_4$ contents of the creek water are the most important factors leading to color changes in the precipitates. A geochemical cycle showing color variations in the precipitates provides the potential control on acid mine drainage and can be applied as a reclamation tool in a temperate region with four seasons.

본 연구에서는 강원도 강릉에 위치한 광산배수 처리시설 침전지에서 채취한 철 수산화물 기반의 슬러지를 자연 건조해 제조한 흡착제를 사용하여 인공 불소 수용액 및 실제 광산배수에 적용하여 흡착제의 불소 흡착 특성을 확인하였다. 실험에 사용된 흡착제의 화학적 성분, 광물학적 특성 및 비표면적을 분석한 결과, 주구성광물로 산화 철(Fe₂O₃)이 79.2 wt.%를 차지하며, 결정구조 분석에서 방해석(CaCO₃)과 관련된 피크가 분석되었다. 또한 불규칙한 표면과 216.78 m²·g^-1의 비표면적을 가지고 있음이 확인되었다. 실내 회분식 실험에서는 반응시간, pH, 초기 불소 농도 및 온도 등의 변화가 흡착량 변화에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 동적 흡착실험 결과, 불소의 흡착은 반응 시작 16시간 후 3.85 mg·g^-1의 흡착량을 보이며 흡착량이 증가하다 점차 흡착량의 증가율이 감소하였으며, 등온 흡착실험에서 확인된 흡착제의 이론적 최대 흡착량은 81.01 mg·g^-1으로 분석되었다. 또한 pH가 증가할수록 불소의 흡착량이 감소하는 모습을 보였으며, 특히 흡착제의 영전하점인 pH 5.5 부근에서 급격한 감소량을 나타냈다. 한편 등온 흡착실험의 결과를 Langmuir 및 Freundlich 등온 흡착 모델에 적용하여 사용한 흡착제의 불소 흡착 메커니즘을 유추한 결과, Freundlich 등온 흡착 모델과 더 높은 상관관계(R²=0.9138)로 일치하는 모습을 보였다. Van't Hoff 식을 활용하여 흡착제의 열역학적 특성을 파악하기 위해 25℃에서 65℃까지 온도를 증가시키며 획득한 흡착량 정보로 열역학적 상수 𝚫H°와 𝚫G°을 계산하여 흡착제가 흡열의 흡착 특성을 보이며 반응이 비자발적임을 도출하였다. 마지막으로 약 12.8 mg·L^-1의 불소 농도를 가지는 광산배수에 흡착제를 적용하여 실제 환경에서 흡착제의 적용가능성을 확인한 결과, 약 50%의 불소 제거효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The objectives of this study were to analyze ecological effects on effluents from the Sagok Stream (Chonnam province) as an abandoned mine drainage through necropsy-based health assessments and fish exposure tests, and to conduct In situ field pilot tests for restoration of stream water. Also, we analyzed water quality including general parameters and heavy metals. The tests were performed three times on April 2005, April 2006, and April 2007. Also, we constructed a reactor facility in the outflowing point of the abandoned mine for the remediation of AMD wastewater. In lab test, death rates in all three treatments were ${\geq}50%$ in the experiments. Necropsybased fish tissue assessments using the Health Assessment Index (HAI), indicated that the most frequently damaged tissue was liver (average: 20.8). Values of Health Assessment Index were lower in the control than any other treatments of T1, T2, and T3 and three treatments showed a distinct toxicity impacts by the AMD. In situ lethal test, concentration of Fe, Al and Zn decreased particularly by 85%, 99% and 94%, respectively through the disposal facility. Values of pH, ranged from 3.1 to 7.0, increased by 2.3 fold (mean=5.1) along with the reduction of metal contents. All fishes in P1 cage died 100% on 3 days later after the experimental setting, while all fishes in the P6 died 100% on 9 days later. Overall, these results evidently provide a key methodology for pilot test using the disposal facility and also clarify the toxicity of AMD once again, so this approach used in the pilot facilities here may reduce the acidic and toxic effects in the abandoned mining drainage.

This study has researched the management status and the pollution level of water, soil, stream sediments of 11 abandoned coal mines out of a total of 12 within Obong-Dam area except Bukyung mine, which was submerged when constructing Obong-Dam, and selected areas which are in needs to have pollution control facilities in the first place. From the results of examination on the runoff at the waste rock pile and mineheads, the runoff from Sueun mine (pH, Fe, Al), Samwon mine (pH, Al), Wangdo mine (pH, Al), Mose mine (pH, Fe, Al) and Daeryeong mine (pH) exceeded the permissible discharge standards of the water quality, but the water at merging point with Obong-Dam after joined with Doma branch satisfied both Water Quality Standards and Drinking Water Quality Standards. In regard to groundwater contamination, it is found that areas where exceeded the Drinking Water Quality Standards are Wangdo mine (pH), Jangjae mine (pH, Zn), Daeryeong mine (pH) whereas all areas satisfied Soil Contamination Warning Standards of Soil Environmental Conservation Law. When comparing a research result on underwater sediments of branches of abandoned mines to the EPA Guidelines for classification of great lakes harbor sediments, Dongguk Gaerim (Fe), Jungwon mine (Fe), Daebo mine (Mn), Samwon mine (Mn) and Daeryeong mine (Mn) showed mid-level of contamination, whereas Sueun (Fe, Mn), Daebo mine (Fe), Woosung mine (Fe, Mn), Wangdo mine (Fe, Mn), Mose mine (Fe) and Daeryeong mine (Fe) showed high-level of contamination. In addition, contamination levels of underwater sediments in Wangsan and Doma branch where abandoned mine's branches merge together, Wangsan branch showed no contamination at all whereas Doma branch shows mid-level of contamination which reflect the Doma branch is affected by waste rock pile and minehead runoff of the abandoned mines in the Doma branch area. It is concluded that Mose mine and Sueun mine required treatment of acid mine drainage. and Wangdo, Jungwon, and Samwon mines were in need of mine tailing and erosion control work. The Samwon mine additionally required a control system for closed minehead runoff. Although the Samwon mine reached a high concentration of Al, Mn $Ca^{2+}$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$ in the runoff, the levels decreased after it was combined with a tributary. It has been concluded that after further monitoring of the cause of pollution, a preventive measure system may be needed to be built.
