This study was carried out to plan the prevention of the generation and discharge of acid mine drainage (AMD). Hydraulic characteristics were tested with the disk tension infiltrometer around the waste rock dump of the Imgi abandoned pyrophyllite mine in Busan, Korea. Because the waste rock dump of the Imgi mine have very low infiltration rate, most of rain was expected flowing into adjoined stream through the slope or plane as surface flow rather then throughflow or ground water. But slopes of the waste rock dump have many 'V' type erosion gullies and consist multi-layers. These gullies and multi-layers have coarse clastic particle layer which have very large hydraulic conductivity. So through these coarse clastic particle layers a large part of rain flow into ground. And also these layers could be played a function of aeration path, which induced oxidation of sulfide minerals and generation of AMD continuously.tinuously.

This study is conducted to evaluate the leaching of contaminants from mine tailing by natural water and finally to estimate the leaching and transportation of heavy metal contaminants by rainfall. In order to identify contaminated heavy metal of soil, 17 soil, 2 tailing and 2 waste dump and 2 control samples were taken at mine area and analyzed total metal contents. The leaching experiments were conducted using distilled water. Cu, Pb, Zn was extracted from the reddish mine tailing in a short period time, especially the extraction rate of Cu (45.0%) was highest. The contaminants were leached from the yellowish mine tailing within an hour and the leaching rate of Cd (42.0%) and Zn (17.2%) were relatively high. The reddish soil from the waste dump showed leaching of Cu (5.1%), Pb (4.0%) and Zn (3.3%), however the leaching rate was low except Mi (14.2%). From the yellowish soil sampled from the dumping site, the leaching of Cu (8.2%) and Ni (9.7%) was high while the leaching of Zn (0.2%) were relatively low.

The phytoextraction of some toxic heavy metals from municipal waste dump soil by castor plant (Ricinus communis) was tested under natural and single or mixed chelant-assisted scenarios in pot microcosms. A sandy loam with total metal contents (mg/kg): Cd (84.5), Cu (114.5), Ni (70.3), Pb (57.8), and Zn (117.5), was sampled from an active dumpsite in Calabar, Nigeria and used for the study. Castor (small seed variety) was grown under natural phytoextraction or single/binary chelant (citric acid, oxalic acid, and EDTA) applications (5-20 mmol/kg soil) for 63 days. Castor exhibited no visual phytotoxic symptoms with typically sigmoid growth profiles at the applied chelant doses. Growth rates, however, decelerated with increase in chelant dose. Post-harvest biomass yields were higher under chelant application than for natural phytoextraction. Both root and shoot metal concentrations (mg/kg) increased quasilinearly and significantly ($p{\leq}0.05$) with increase in chelant dose, furnishing maximum levels as: Cd (55.6 and 20.9), Cu (89.5 and 58.4), Ni (49.8 and 19.6), Pb (32.1 and 12.1), and Zn (99.5 and 46.6). Ranges of translocation factors, root and shoot bioaccumulation factors were 0.21-3.49, 0.01-0.89 and 0.01-0.51, respectively. Overall, the binary chelant treatments were less toxic for R. communis growth and enhanced metal accumulation in shoots to a greater extent than the single chelant scenarios, but more so when EDTA was present in the binary combination. This suggests that the mixed chelants could be considered as alternative treatments for enhanced phytoextraction and revegetation of degraded waste dump soils.

해양 투기 매립장은 바다를 메워서 만들었으므로 그 속에서의 지하수 수리 특성은 대수층이나 일반 육상 매립지안의 지하수 수리 특성과 크게 다르다. 포항 지역의 해양 투기 매립지에서 양수 시험이나 순간수위 변화 시험으로 수리 특성을 파악하기 어려워서 조석 현상과 지하수위 변화로 부터 수리 특성을 추정하였다. 투기 매립지의 지하수위는 인근 해수면보다 약 40 cm 높게 관측되었고, 그 이유를 추정하였다 매립지내 지하수와 해수와의 상관 관계는 매립지내 지하수 수질의 수직적 분포로도 설명된다.

본 연구에서는 임기광산 폐석적치장을 형성하고 있는 광미의 불포화 특성을 조사하기 위하여 자동 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC) 측정장치를 이용하여 건조 및 습윤과정에 따른 모관흡수력과 체적함수비를 측정하였다. 측정결과를 토대로 van Genuchten 방법을 이용하여 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)을 산정하였다. 산정된 흙-함수특선곡선(SWCC)의 ${\alpha}$와 n을 이용하여 흙의 종류를 구분하면 폐석적치장 광미시료는 점토질 모래(clayey sand)에 해당한다. Lu and Likos 방법으로 광미시료의 흡입응력특성곡선(SSCC)을 산정한 결과 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)과 유사한 S자형 곡선을 나타낸다. 동일한 유효포화도에서 건조과정의 흡입응력이 습윤과정의 흡입응력보다 크게 발생되는 이력현상이 나타났다. 그리고 불포화토의 유효응력은 공기함입치 이내로 작용할 경우 포화시 유효응력과 동일하나, 공기함입치 이상의 모관흡수력이 작용할 경우 포화토의 유효응력보다 큰 값을 갖는다. 한편, van Genuchten 방법으로 산정된 광미시료의 불포화 투수계수는 모관흡수력이 증가함에 따라 감소하며, 건조과정의 투수계수가 습윤과정의 투수계수보가 크게 발생됨을 알 수 있다.

The rapid industrial development is facing problem due to energy depletion in Korea. So that, it can be necessary to develop alternative energy sources. Alternative energy like biofuels can be produced by using waste fuel, which is ecofriendly. As we know, the organic waste was banned to dump in landfill and ocean dumping. The most practicable method usually used to reduce organic waste is getting feedstuff or composting, considering the discharge characteristics of agricultural by-products waste treatment were selected. In this study, bio-coal was made using agriculture by product. Biocoal was prepared by adding 50 g of uniformly mixture into reactor and was carbonized at low temperatures 210, 220, and 230℃. The time of reaction was 1, 2 and 3 hours. Bio-coal approximately was similar to the standard of solid fuels. Other characteristics of fuel were also studied. The experiments which were analyzed were moisture content and calorific value, ash, chlorine, sulfur and heavy metals analysis as mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, and chromium. As a result, bio-coal 220℃, 2 hours was the optimal conditions while heating.

It has been more than ten years since Dukun mine was abandoned. Tailings of waste deposits and slime dumps in the abandoned Dukum mine have been left to be deserted for fifty years. The results of fifty years of neglecting are nothing short of major environmental problems. Slime dumps have been exposed to air and water in the mine over ten years and then soil profile has been formed well. Soil in the upper layer (A horizon) is the light gray color due to the leaching of cations. Soil in the lower layer (A2 horizon, 0.2∼0.3m)is tinted with reddish brown and yellowish brown color due to the development of iron oxides and iron hydroxides. Soil in the lower part of B horizon of (1.0∼3.0m) with the growth of copper and zinc oxides exposes to the bluish green, light blue, and dark gray. Ranging from 3m to 8m in depth, 85 samples were taken from 22 sampling sites with 50m intervals located on the slime dump area with hand auger and trench (open cut). As tailings was distributed, heavy metal elements extracted by the process of surface water and ground water move and disperse in to the hydrosphere. Waste dumps were distributed in and around the mine and water draining from those dumps be a potential source of contamination. Soils, thus, can be dispersed into downslope and downstream through wind and water by clastic movement. These materials may be deposited in another horizon if the water is withdrawn, or if the materials are precipitated as a result of differences in pH, or other conditions in deeper horizons. These were primarily associated with acid mine drainage. The characteristics and rate of release of acid mine drainage are influenced by various chemical and biological reactions at the source of acid generations. Prolonged extration of heavy metal elements has a detrimental effect on the agricultural land and residental area. Twenty soil samples were collected from the agricultural land in the area (0∼30 cm). Seventeen samples were also taken from the sediment in the stream running alongside the dumps. The dispersion patterns of heavy metal elements are as follows: The content of As ranged 2∼6 ppm in a horizon, 20∼125 ppm in B horizon with large amount of clay mineral is concentrated and the content of Cd ranged 1∼2 ppm in A horizon, 4∼22 ppm in B horizon. Like Cd, the content of As, Cu, Zn, Pb in B horizon is higher than that in A horizon (approximately 5∼100 times). When soil formation proceeds in stages, it is necessary to investicate the B horizon with the concentration of heavy metal and preventive measures will have to established.

Waste materials are being produced in huge quantities globally, and the usual practice is to dump them into legal or illegal landfills. Recycled tiles (RT) are being used in soil stabilisation which is considered as sustainable solution to reduce the amount of waste and solve the geotechnical problems. Although the stabilisation of soil using RT improved the soil properties, it could not achieve the standard values required for construction. Thus, this study uses 20% RT together with low cement content (2%) to stabilise soft soil. Series of consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests were conducted on untreated and RT-cement treated samples. Each test was performed at 7, 14, and 28 days curing period and 50, 100, and 200 kPa confining pressures. The results revealed an improvement in the undrained shear strength parameters (cohesion and internal frication angle) of treated specimens compared to the untreated ones. The cohesion and friction angle of the treated samples were increased with the increase in curing time and confining pressure. The peak deviator stress of treated samples increases with the increment of either the effective confining pressures or the curing period. Microstructural and chemical tests were performed on both untreated and RT-cement treated samples, which included field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). The results indicated the formation of cementation compounds such as calcium aluminium hydrate (C-A-H) within the treated samples. Consequently, the newly formed compounds were responsible for the improvement observed in the results of the triaxial tests. This research promotes the utilisation of RT to reduce the amount of cement used in soil stabilisation for cleaner planet and sustainable environment.

대영광산(일명 대마광산)은 함금은석영맥을 주 대상으로 채광한 금 은광산으로, 주 광해유발요인은 광물찌꺼기 적치장, 폐석장, 갱구 등 이다. 광물찌꺼기 적치장의 주 오염원소는 As와 Pb이다. 특히 As의 경우 3,424.41~3,803.61 mg/kg로 1지역 대책기준의 45배 이상으로 As에 의한 오염이 매우 심각한 것으로 파악되었다. 오염원소를 보면 오염원인 광물찌꺼기가 고농도의 As를 함유하고 있으며, 오염원의 영향을 받는 주변의 매체에서도 공통적으로 As 오염이 확인되고 있다. 이러한 As 오염은 광물찌꺼기 적치장과의 지형적 상관성이나 이격거리에 따라 오염정도가 달라지는 특성을 나타낸다. 즉 광물찌꺼기 적치장의 상류지역은 하류지역에 비해 오염정도가 낮으며, 광물찌꺼기 적치장의 하류지역에서는 광물찌꺼기 적치장과의 거리가 멀어질수록 오염도가 낮아지는 경향을 보인다. 특히 광물찌꺼기 적치장 주변에서 고농도 오염이 집중적으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 볼 때, 연구지역의 주 오염경로 중의 하나는 광물찌꺼기의 유실로 볼 수 있다. 광물찌꺼기 적치장 하류수계를 따라 As 오염이 확인되었으며, 이러한 현상은 현 하천보다는 구 하천에서 상대적으로 높게 나타나고 있다. 이는 광물찌꺼기 적치장에 대한 유실방지시설을 설치하기 전에 구 하천으로 다량의 광물찌꺼기가 유실되었음을 의미한다. 또한 광물찌꺼기 적치장의 하류수계 농경지에서 하천 범람 시에 영향을 상대적으로 더 받게 되는 하천변 50 m 이내의 농경지 오염도가 50 m 이상의 농경지에 비해 높게 나타났다. 이러한 특성으로 볼 때, 유실된 광물찌꺼기가 하천을 따라 이동하다가 범람에 의해 농경지로 유입되면서 오염이 발생하는 경로도 주 오염경로로 판단된다.
