초록

광석에서 순도 높은 금은을 추출하기 위해 사용된 청화법으로부터 시안이 유출되어 광석 내 존재하는 중금속들과 결합하여 다양한 형태의 시안화합물이 생성된다. 이러한 시안화합물은 난분해성 오염물질로서 인간을 포함한 생태계에 악영향을 끼친다. 결합력에 따라서 중금속과 결합한 시안화합물은 공유결합성 화합물(weak acid dissociable, WAD)과 착화합물(strong acid dissociable, SAD) 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시안화합물의 존재 형태별 광촉매 산화 효율을 비교 평가하였다. 특히 자외선 LED 광원의 파장과 광촉매 표면 개질이 시안화합물의 분해에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험 결과, 동일한 광촉매 산화 조건에서 자유 시안보다는 중금속과 결합한 시안화합물의 광산화 분해 효율이 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 자유 시안의 경우에는 짧은 파장에서 광촉매 산화가 효과적이었지만 중금속과 결합한 시안화합물의 경우에는 긴 파장에서 광산화 분해능이 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 광촉매 표면 개질에 의하여 광촉매 산화 공정의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Cyanide can be leached out from the cyanidation method which has been used to extract high-purity gold and silver from ores, and it becomes a variety of cyanide complexes associated with heavy metals contained in ores. Such cyanide complexes are considered as persistent and non-degradable pollutants which cause adverse effects on humans and surrounding environments. Based on binding force between heavy metals and cyanide, cyanide complexes can be categorized weak acid dissociable (WAD) and strong acid dissociable (SAD). This study comparatively evaluated the performance of photo-catalytic process with regard to forms of cyanide complexes. In particular, both effects of UV LED wavelength and surface modification of photo-catalyst on the removal efficiency of cyanide complexes were investigated in detail. The results indicate that the performance of photo-catalytic oxidation is significantly affected by the form of cyanide complexes. In addition, the effect of UV LED wavelength on the removal efficiency was quite different between free cyanide and cyanide complexes associated with heavy metals. The results support that the surface modification of photo-catalyst, such as doping can improve overall performance of photo-catalytic oxidation of cyanide complexes.
