Abstract

We investigated the effectiveness of natural zeolite (NZ) and sand (SD) as a capping material to block the release of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn) from heavily contaminated marine sediments and stabilize these heavy metals in the sediments. The efficiency of NZ and SD for blocking trace metals was evaluated in a flat flow tank attached with an impeller to generate wave. 0, 10, 30, and 50 mm depth of NZ or SD were capped on the contaminated marine sediments and the metal concentration in seawater was monitored. After completion of flow tank experiments, sequential extractions of the metals in the sediment below the capping material were performed. The difference of pH, EC, and DO concentration between uncapped and capped condition was not significant. The release of cations including Cd, Cu, and Zn were effectively blocked by NZ and SD capping but the interruption of Cr release was observed only in 50 mm depth of SD capped condition. However, the stabilization of Cr in 50 mm depth of SD capped condition was not achieved when compared to uncapped condition. NZ and SD capping were effective for stabilizing Cd, Cu, and Zn in marine sediments. It is concluded that the use of NZ with SD as a capping material is recommended for blocking Cd, Cr, Cu, and Zn release and stabilizing them in contaminated marine sediments.

본 연구에서는 오염된 해양 퇴적물로부터 중금속(Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn) 용출 차단과 퇴적물 내에서 안정화를 위한 천연 제올라이트(natural zeolite, NZ)와 모래(sand, SD)의 피복 재료로서 적용성을 평가하였다. NZ와 SD의 중금속 차단 효율성 평가를 위해서 파랑을 발생시키는 임펠러가 부착된 수조에서 실험을 수행하였다. NZ 및 SD의 피복 두께를 0, 10, 30, 그리고 50mm로 달리하면서 실험을 수행하였으며, NZ 및 SD의 성능 평가를 위하여 해수 내 중금속 농도를 모니터링 하였다. 실험 종료 후에는 피복재료 바로 아래에 있는 퇴적물을 대상으로 중금속의 연속 추출 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 미피복 수조와 피복 수조의 pH, EC, 그리고 용존 산소 농도는 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Cd, Cu 및 Zn과 같은 양이온의 용출은 NZ 및 SD 피복에 의해서 효과적으로 차단되었지만, Cr의 용출 차단은 50 mm 두께의 SD 피복에서만 나타났다. 그러나, 미피복 조건과 비교하여 50 mm의 SD 피복 시 Cr의 안정화는 이루어지지 않았다. NZ와 SD 피복은 Cd, Cu 및 Zn의 안정화에 효과적이었다. 본 연구를 통해 SD와 함께 NZ를 피복 재료로 사용은 Cd, Cr, Cu 및 Zn의 용출 차단 및 안정화에 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
