Abstract

This study was on leaching test(KSLT) of the aggregate for the products to evaluate the characteristics of contaminants and the possibility of contamination arising from the aggregate. On the basis pH, conductivity, turbidity, TN, TP, COD and heavy metal contents in the aggregate increased as the particle size of the aggregate was smaller. The pH appeared to be 9.9~11.4 which is relatively higher than soil, however, heavy metal has investigated within the 1 region's standard value of soil pollution standards. From the leaching test, there is strong indication that the risk of pollution due to elution of pollutants gets higher with the smaller grain size. Especially conductivity and turbidity are the potential water pollution source and recycled aggregates of 10mm or less could be a potential pollution source since it could elute soluble matters and suspended solid, but there is no proper management standard for them. As a result of evaluating water pollution possibility of the aggregate, the pH displayed in items with a very high possibility of contamination, TN and TP did in item with a low possibility of contamination and on the other hand the heavy metals did in item with a very low possibility of contamination.

본 연구는 순환골재에서 발생하는 오염물질의 특성과 오염가능성을 평가하기 위해 생산제품 순환골재의 용출시험을 실시하였다. 순환골재에 포함된 pH, 전기전도도, 탁도, TN, TP, COD 그리고 중금속 농도는 입경이 작을수록 높은 농도를 나타냈다. pH 농도는 9.9~11.4 범위로 토양보다는 높았으나 중금속 농도는 토양오염우려기준의 1지역 기준치 이내로 조사되었다. 용출시험 결과, 오염가능성은 입자크기가 작을수록 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 전기전도도와 탁도는 잠재적인 수질오염원이며, 10mm 이하의 순환골재는 용존성과 입자성 오염물질을 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 잠재적인 오염원으로 평가되었지만, 현재 적절한 관리기준은 없다. 순환골재로 부터 수질오염 가능성을 평가한 결과, 오염가능성이 가장 높은 항목으로는 pH, 오염가능성이 낮은 항목으로는 TN, TP, 오염가능성이 가장 낮은 항목으로는 중금속으로 나타났다.
