광미와 오염된 토양에 함유되어 있는 중금속 원소는 존재형태에 따라서 환경에 미치는 영향의 차이가 있다. 그러므로 중금속 원소의 존재형태를 규명하여 물리화학적 환경변화에 따른 중금속의 거동을 예측하고자 Tessier et al. (1979)의 방법을 이용하여 연속추출을 수행하였다. 청양광산과 서보광산의 광미를 비교하면, As와 Co는 두 광산 모두 잔류형태로 안정화되었다. Cd과 Zn은 서보광산의 광미가 청양광산의 광미보다 잔류형태가 더 우세하였다. Pb는 서보광산의 광미가 양이온교환형태로 존재하는 함량이 높고 청양광산의 광미도 양이온교환과 탄산염광물의 형태로 존재하는 함량이 높아 오염 확산의 우려가 있다. 서보광산의 오염된 토양의 경우, As, Co, Cd, Cu및 Zn는 대체로 안정한 형태였으나, Pb는 산화환경에서 불안정한 형태로 존재하였다.

광미와 오염된 토양에 함유되어 있는 중금속은 물리ㆍ화학적 환경 변화에 따라 안정화되어 자연적으로 정화가 진행되거나, 혹은 재용출 될 수 있어 중요한 오염원으로 작용 할 수 있다. 따라서 중금속 원소의 존재형태를 규명하여 물리ㆍ화학적 환경 변화에 따른 중금속의 거동을 예측하고자 Tessier et al (1979)의 방법을 이용하여 연속추출을 수행하였다. 구룡광간의 광미와 오염된 토양에 함유된 중금속과 마량원소의 존재형태를 비교해 보면 Fe를 제외한 모든 원소의 존재형태가 안정상인 잔류형태로 존재하였다. Cd, Co, Cu 및 Pb의 경우 잔류형태 다음으로 비정질 산화광물형태로 수반된 형태도 중요한 존재 형태인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 Fe은 비정질 산화광물의 형태가 가장 우세한 것으로 나타났으며, 황화광물과의 결합형태가 상대적으로 우세한 경향을 보였다.

오염 토양 개선사업이 완료된 밀양시 구운동 광산의 이.화학적 성분을 기초로 하여 비경작지의 일부 야생식물 중 축적된 중금속 함량을 분석한 결과, 토양의 각 지점별 평균 함량은 유기물 13.18g/kg, 유효인산 40.65mg/kg, 석회 5.06, 칼슘 6.85, 고토 1.94cmol/kg으로서 우리나라 밭 토양의 평균보다 낮았고 중금속 함량은 아연(Zn)이 평균 383.1mg/kg, 구리(Cu) 135.2mg/kg, 납(Pb) 105.4mg/kg로 조사되었다. 조사 지점 중 광미의 퇴적으로 인한 오염이 있는 광산 위 st. 3에서 아연(945mg/kg)과 구리(535mg/kg)의 함량이 가장 높았고 다음이 광미가 많이 잔재하고 있는 광구 앞인 st. 4였으며 이곳은 납(289.5mg/kg)의 함량이 가장 높은 지점이었다. 식물체 내의 중금속 함량은 차즈기>쑥>억새>싸리 순이었고 특히 차즈기의 경우는 다량의 중금속이 축적되어 있어 중금속 오염 지역에 대한 내성이 있는 지표종으로 추측되어 이에 대한 중금속 축적 능력 확인 실험이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, to select the best stabilizer for the heavy metals-contaminated soil from a smelter area during phytoremediation, a plant uptake experiment and a soil stabilization were simultaneously applied using Pteris multifida Poir. and five pre-screened stabilizers(zeolite, Mn dioxide, slag, Ca oxide, and magnetite). The extracted heavy metal was measured and compared using a 3 step sequential extraction for the soil samples. The growth rate of the plant was also evaluated. The stabilizers stabilized heavy metals in soil and reduced the extraction rate. Magnetite and calcium oxide showed better results than other stabilizers. The stabilizers enhanced the growth of the plant. All the heavy metals except for arsenic were concentrated in roots while arsenic was concentrated in leaves of the plant. It is concluded that the stabilizers can minimize the heavy metal release from the contaminated soil during phytoremediation and stimulated the growth of plant. These effects of stabilizers could compensate for some weak points of phytoremediation such as reaching of heavy metals by rainwater.

This study was performed to analyze the possibility of using Korean native Aster koraiensis Nakai for phytoremediation at various fields. A. koraiensis was cultivated at paddy, upland and forest soils contaminated with heavy metals. After 8 weeks of cultivation, and growth and its absorbing capacity of heavy metals were analyzed. The results showed that A. koraiensis was grown well even at the soil highly contaminated with heavy metals, which means it has a tolerance to heavy metals. As analysis results of arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead and zinc contents absorbed from various soils contaminated with heavy metals, heavy metal absorbing capacity of A. koraiensis was depending on the heavy metal contents in the soils and soil property. In case of arsenic, cadmium and copper, heavy metal accumulation capacities of Aster koraiensis were much influenced by contents of heavy metals in the soils. Absorbing capacity of plants was increased when heavy metal contents in the soils were high. Lead absorbing capacity was depending more on soil property than lead contents in the soil, and was great at sandy soil of forest. Zinc absorbing capacity was influenced by both soil properties and Zn contents in the soil, was increased at paddy soil contaminated with high concentrations of heavy metals and upland soils. In general, A. koraiensis had a tolerance to heavy metals and showed great absorbing capability of heavy metals. So A. koraiensis can be used as a good landscape material for phytoremediation at various soils contaminated with heavy metals.

Fractional compositions and leaching potentials of Cd, Cu and Zn were investigated in the soils which had been disposed with the metal processing wastes, tungsten mine tailings and low quality coal mine area. Total concentrations of metals in these soils were higher than in non-polluted paddy and upland soils. Fractions of Cd, Cu and Zn were mostly reducible, organic and residual forms, but varied with origins of wastes. Residual fraction was a predominant form in the nonpolluted soils. Leaching potentials of metals were higher in polluted soils than in non-polluted soils. Metals leached were higher at pH 4.0 than 7.0 and increased with the duration time. After 25 to 35 hrs, metals released from soils reached a pseudoequilibrium. Leaching potential of metals in non-polluted soils was low due to high percentage of residual fractions.

Objectives of this research were to fractionate heavy metals in soil samples in the upper Okdong River basin and to assess the potential pollution index of each metal fraction. Soil samples were collected from the cultivated land soils and analyzed for physical and chemical properties. pH of cultivated soils ranged from 5.2 to 7.6. Contents of total kelhaldal nitrogen and loss on ignition were in the ranges of 0.6∼2.5%, and 1.9∼12.9%, respectively. Heavy metals in the cultivated land soils were higher in the abandoned closed coal mine near field soils than those in the paddy soils. Total concentrations of metals in the cultivated land soils were in the orders of Zn > Pb > Ni > Cu > Cd, exceed the corrective action level of the Soil Environment Conservation Law and higher than the naturals were abundance levels reported from uncontaminated cultivated land soils. Mobile fractions of metals were relatively small compared to the total concentrations. Soil Pollution Assesment Index (SPAI) values of each fraction of metals were leveled from Non polluted to Moderately polluted based on total concentrations. SPAI values of mobil fractions were lower than those of immobile fractions. Results on metal fractions and SPAI values of the cultivated land soils indicate that field soils samples were contaminated with heavy metals and had potential to cause a detrimental effects on plants. A prompt countermeasure to prevent field soils in the abandoned closed coal mine near fields are urgently needed.

일반적으로 폐광산 지역에 방치되어 있는 광미와 오염토양에 함유된 중금속원소는 자연 상태에서 물리ㆍ화학적 환경의 변화에 따라 자연정화 되거나, 또는 재용출되어 점 또는 비점오염원으로의 역할을 하기 때문에 광미와 오염된 토양에 존재하는 중금속의 존재형태를 규명 또는 예측하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 따른 중금속의 오염평가와 존재형태를 규명하기 위해 서성 연ㆍ아연 폐광산 주변 경작토를 대상으로 Tessier et at. (1979)가 제시한 연속추출을 실시하였다. 그 결과는 As와 Cr이 잔류형태가 우세하여 안정한 상태로 존재하는 것으로 평가되었으며, 이에 반하여 Zn, Pb, Cu, Cd, Ni 및 Mn 등은 상대적으로 존재형태가 불안정한 것으로 평가되었다. 특히, As는 모두가 잔류형태로만 존재하는 것이 확인되어 As의 오염이 야기되지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

본 연구에서는 전기화학적 정화방법인 electrokinetic 정화기술을 이용하여 오염된 토양내에서 중금속을 제거하는 방안을 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 납을 혼합하여 오염시킨 점토시료에 대하여 정화가동시간, 공급전류, 오염농도를 다르게 하고 3가지의 향상기법을 적용시켜 정화실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과를 토대로 유입수 및 유출수의 PH, 오염토의 PH, 전기포텐셜, 유출수량, 전기 전도도 등 오염토의 물리화학적 성질변화를 구명하고 정화가동조건 및 향상기법적용에 따른 오염토내의 납 제거효과를 파악하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 electrokinetic 정화기술은 투수성이 낫은 점성토 토양내의 중금속을 제거하는데 매우 효과적인 것으로 판명되었다.

With the increase of metal usage in various industries, metal pollution and ecological toxicity in the environmental system have become a significant concern. A geo-statistical index has been widely used to determine contamination level with normalization through a background value. In this study, geo-statistical indexes such as an enrichment factor, accumulation index, and potential ecological risk index were used to assess metal pollution in soil at locations associated with shipbuilding manufacturing industries. Metal contamination, especially of Cu and Pb, was observed in some samples located closer to manufacturing sites. Enrichment factor and accumulation (IGEO) values were indicative of concerning levels of soil contamination in specific samples, and the soil contamination could be induced by anthropogenic sources. In further study, after more detailed sampling for soil and potential pollution sources, high interpretation techniques such as Pb isotope analysis and X-ray analysis will be needed to investigate source identification.
