Abstract

In this study, nano Fe°-impregnated biochar (INPBC) was prepared using pruning residues and one-pot synthetic method and evaluated its performance as an amendment agent for the stabilization of arsenic-contaminated soil. For the preparation of INPBC, the mixture of pruning residue and Fe (III) solution was heated to 220℃ for 3hr in a teflon-sealed autoclave followed by calcination at 600℃ under N2 atmosphere for 1hr. As-prepared INPBC was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, BET, SEM. For the stabilization test of as-prepared INPBC, As-contaminated soils (Soil-E and Soil-S) sampled from agricultural sites located respectively near E-abandoned mine and S-abandoned mine in South Korea were mixed with different of dosage of INPBC and cultivated for 4 weeks. After treatment, TCLP and SPLP tests were conducted to determine the stabilization efficiency of As in soil and showed that the stabilization efficiency was increased with increasing the INPBC dosage and the concentration of As in SPLP extractant of Soil-E was lower than the drinking water standard level of Ministry of Environment of South Korea. The sequential fractionation of As in the stabilized soils indicated that the fractions of As in the 1st and 2nd stages that correspond liable and known as bioavailable fraction were decreased and the fractions of As in 3rd and 4th stages that correspond relatively non-liable fraction were increased. Such a stabilization of As shows that the abundant nano Fe° on the surface of INPBC mixed with As-contaminated soils played the co-precipitation of As leaching from soil by surface complexation with iron. The results of this study may imply that INPBC as a promising amendments for the stabilization of As-contaminated soil play an important role.

본 연구에서는 전정가지 부산물과 one-pot 합성방법을 이용하여 철 나노입자가 담지된 바이오차인 INPBC(Iron Nano-Particles Impregnated BioChar)를 제조하고 비소 오염토양의 안정화제로써의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. INPBC는 전정가지 부산물과 Fe(III) 용액을 220℃에서 3시간 동안 수열반응하고 이후 N2 분위기에서 1시간 동안 소성하여 제조하였으며 FT-IR, XRD, BET, SEM을 이용하여 INPBC의 특성을 분석하였다. INPBC의 안정화 성능평가는 국내 E폐광산과 S폐광산의 인근 농경지에서 채취한 비소로 오염된 토양 Soil-E와 Soil-S를 채취하여 4주 동안의 배양실험을 실시하였다. 배양실험 후 토양중 비소의 안정화 정도를 알아보기 위해 TCLP와 SPLP 용출시험을 실시하였다. TCLP와 SPLP의 용출시험결과, INPBC의 적용 농도의 증가에 따라 토양 중 비소의 용출농도는 감소하여 안정화 효율이 높아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 Soil-E의 경우 SPLP 용출액 중 비소의 농도는 먹는물 수질기준치 이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 안정화 토양의 연속추출시험에서는 쉽게 용출되는 1단계 및 2단계의 분획비율이 감소되고 그 보다 용출이 어려운 3단계 및 4단계의 분획비율이 증가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 결과는 오염토양에 주입한 INPBC의 표면에 존재하는 철 나노입자로 인해 토양에서 용출된 비소가 sorption에 의해 안정화된 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 나타난 INPBC의 비소 오염토양의 안정화 효과는 대규모 비소 오염토양의 위해성 저감을 위한 안정화제로서 높은 적용 가능성을 보여 준다.
