Abstract

Mine and leachate waters were collected from the Okdong mine for study on reaction with oxidizing agents such as NaOCl and $H_2O_2$. The pH and EC of the mine and leachate waters are 5.77, 831 uS/cm, and 6.38, 1920 uS/cm, respectively. The concentrations of Mg, Mn, and Zn are 23.25 mg/l, 14.90 mg/l, and 22.99 mg/l for the mine water and 98.75 mg/l, 3.38 mg/l, and 6.16 mg/l for the leachate water. The concentrations of Mg, Mn and Zn decreased after the reaction with the oxidizing agents and mine water. The concentrations of Mg, Mn and Zn rapidly decreased when oxidizing agents increased. The saturation indices that were computed by visual MINTEQ for initial mine and leachate water were undersaturated with Mg, Zn and Mn compounds. The precipitates after the reaction with the oxidizing agents are composed mainly of mangano-calcite[(Mn, Ca)$CO_3$] with small amount of calcite-magnesian and calcite.

산화제를 이용한 광산배수 정화에 관한 연구를 위하여 옥동광산으로부터 채수한 갱내수와 침출수를 산화제인 NaOCl와 $H_2O_2$를 이용하여 반응 실험을 실시하였다. 초기 갱내수의 pH와 EC는 각각 5.77, 831 uS/cm 이며, Mg(23.25 mg/l), Mn(14.90 mg/l), Zn(22.99 mg/l)이다. 광미적치장으로부터 유출되는 침출수의 pH와 EC는 6.38, 1920 uS/cm이며, Mg(98.75 mg/l), Mn(3.38 mg/l), Zn(6.16 mg/l)로 갱내수와 다른 양이온 농도 특성을 갖는다. 산화제의 종류와 양에 따라 양이온이 제거 되는 데 소요되는 시간적 차이가 있지만, 갱내수와 침출수에 포함된 Mg, Zn, Mn은 99%이상 제거되었다. Visual MINTEQ 계산결과 포화지수가 0보다 큰 값을 나타내는 화합물이 존재하지 않기때문에 초기 갱내수와 침출수로부터 침전 가능한 광물은 존재하지 않는다. 갱내수와 광미적치장 침출수를 NaOCl과 반응시킬 때 생성되는 침전물은 적갈색의 Mangano-calcite이며, 그 외 Calcite magnesian, Calcite 등의 광물을 포함하고 있다.
