Abstract

This review investigated theoretical principals and practical application examples on recirculation system of soil washing-wastewater treatment-treated water recycling. As for technologies which have attempted to remediating metals-contaminated soil in and around country, there are reactive barriers, encapsulation, solidification/stabilization, soil washing, and phytoremediation. Among those, in particular, this review covers soil washing technology which physicochemically removes contaminants from soils. The major drawbacks of this technology are to generate a large amount of wastewater which contains contaminants complexed with ligands of washing solution and needs additional treatment process. To solve these problems, many chemical treatment methods have been developed as follows: precipitation/coprecipitation, membrane filtration, adsorption treatment, ion exchange, and electrokinetic treatment. In the last part of the review, recent research and field application cases on soil washing wastewater treatment and recycling were introduced. Based on these integrated technologies, it could be achieved to solve the problem of soil washing wastewater and to enhance cost effective process by reducing total water resources use in soil washing process.

본 고는 토양세척-폐수처리-처리수재활용의 친환경공정순환시스템에 대한 이론적인 조사와 국내외 실제적용사례를 조사하였다. 광산폐기물에 함유된 이동성과 용해성이 큰 비소 및 독성 중금속들은 주변 토양 및 지하수를 오염시킬 수 있기 때문에 오염토양은 적절하게 처리되어야 한다. 국내외에서 비소와 중금속 오염토양에 시도되었거나 성공한 기술은 반응벽체(reactive barriers) 및 복토(encapsulation), 고형화(solidification)/안정화(stabilization), 토양세척(soil washing), 식물정화기법(phytoremediation) 등이 있는데, 이 중 본고는 용액을 사용하여 토양으로부터 오염물질들을 제거하는 물리화학적인 기술인 토양세척에 대해 다루었다. 토양세척의 한가지 큰 문제점은 처리 후에 폐수가 대량으로 발생한다는 것이고, 이 폐수에는 세척용액의 리간드와 결합한 오염물질들이 함유되어 있기 때문에 추가적인 처리공정이 필요하다. 그 처리기술에는 오염물질과 세척용액의 특성에 따라 다양한 물리, 화학, 생물학적 처리가 있는데, 그 중에서 화학적 처리기술인 침전/공동침전법, 멤브레인막여과법, 흡착처리법, 이온교환처리법, 동전기처리법에 대해서 본문에 자세히 언급하였다. 마지막으로 각각의 처리법에 따라 실제 토양세척폐수처리 및 재활용에 관한 최근 국내외 연구사례 대해 소개하였고, 이러한 기술들을 바탕으로 토양세척폐수발생문제를 해결하고 수자원절감을 통한 공정의 전반적인 비용효과를 높일 수 있을 것이다.
