폐광된 금속광산의 폐광석 적치장, 선광시설, 광미장 등에는 폐광석과 황화광물의 분말이 그대로 방치되어 있어, 풍화작용에 기인된 황화광물의 산화과정에서 용해된 유해 중금속의 이동과 확산이 심각한 중금속 오염문제를 발생시키고 있다 그러므로, 황화광물의 산화작용에 의해 형성된 2차 광물에 대한 광물학적 연구는 유해 중금속의 물리$\cdot$화학적인 거동, 오염물질의 확산 등을 규제하고 있는 지구화학적 메카니즘 규명에 매우 중요한 자료가 되며, 폐광석 및 광미에 대한 복원 결정을 내리는데 있어 결정적인 판단 자료가 될 수 있다 (강민주, 2003).

물리검층은 주로 석유탐사 분야에서 개발·이용되어왔으나 소구경 시추공을 이용하는 지반조사. 자원평가, 지하수조사 또는 환경오염조사 등에서 물리검층의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 국내에서 수행된 물리검층은 우라늄 탐사 목적으로 1980년 전후로 많이 수행되었으며 1990년 중반에는 지하수 조사에 일부 활용되어 왔다. 현재 물리검층의 활용도가 증가하고 있는 분야는 지반조사 분야로 원위치 물성측정, 시추공과 교차하는 암반의 균열파악 등 터널, 교량과 같은 각종 토목분야의 지반조사에 많이 활용되고 있다. 이외에도 지하수 유동특성 규명이나 환경오염조사, 자원평가(지열, 온천, 석·골재, 금속광상 등)에도 활용되고 있다.

근대에 들어 우리나라는 산업 발전과 인구 증가로 인해 과거보다 많은 수자원을 필요로 하고 있고, 오염도 많이 진행되어 있다. 특히 가장 많이 사용되는 지하수는 농경을 위한 농약의 사용과 산업 폐기물 및 광산 폐수의 유입 등으로 인해서 오염이 되고 있다. 특히 해안지역에서 일어나는 지하수의 염수화는 많은 문제점을 야기한다. 해수침투는 해안 지역에서 지하수의 매장량을 감소시키고, 염도 증가로 인한 수질의 저하를 발생시켜 계속적인 지하수의 개발을 어렵게 만들고 인근 지역의 발전을 저해하게 된다. (중략)

The treatment of acid rock drainage was reviewed and evaluated for the case of pyrite rocks distributed in a highway embankment. During the highway's construction, neutralization using alkaline water repellent was applied to the embankment section to prevent acid rock drainage. However, it still occurred long after the construction was completed owing to rain infiltration, and the acid rock drainage polluted the surrounding soils and streams. To solve this problem, treatment facilities such as SAPS (Successive Alkalinity Producing Systems) or ecological wetlands and sand filtration were installed. After the installation of the treatment facilities, the effluent and soils contaminated by acid rock drainage nearby the outlet of the facilities were analyzed and evaluated for a period of years. Measurements of the pH of the effluent and analysis of the heavy metal contamination of the soils confirmed that the neutralization treatment for acid rock drainage is being performed properly and that contamination of heavy metals in the acid rock drainage is also being stably controlled by the treatment facilities.

A site containing buried solid waste and treated water and oil storage containers from a leather manufacturing plant was studied through soil and groundwater pollution and electrical resistivity surveys with the aim of identifying areas polluted by leachate generated by landfilling with leather waste and leakage wastewater. It was found that TPH and Zn exceeded environmental standards for soil pollution and, for leachate and groundwater, Cr(VI) concentrations exceeded standard levels for groundwater quality. An electrical resistivity survey was used to elucidate soil and groundwater pollution characteristics and diffusion pathways. Ten survey lines were set up with an electrode spacing of 5 m in a dipole-dipole array. The hydraulic characteristics of soil determined by groundwater contamination surveys matched well the low-resistivity-anomaly zones. Electrical resistivity surveys of areas containing contaminated soil and groundwater that have irregular strata due to waste reclamation are thus useful in highlighting vertical and horizontal pollutant diffusion pathways and in monitoring contaminated and potentially contaminated areas.

국내의 토양오염 공정시험방법에서는 Zn, Ni 추출시 산분해법에 가까운 방법을 사용하는 반면, Cd, Cu, Pb, $Cr^{6+}$ 추출시 0.1N HCl용액으로 산처리하여 1시간을 진탕한 후 이를 필터로 여과하여 분석용액을 추출하는 용출법을 사용하고 있다(환경부, 2001). 시료내에는 완충 물질이 존재하기 때문에 용출법 사용시 초기 pH 인 1(0.1N HCl)이 유지되지 않아 완충능력이 높은 토양의 경우 현재 국내 공정법상의 용출법이 중금속 오염정도를 추정하는데 적절치 않을 수 있다. (중략)

In order to develop an air-stripping based remediation process to remove the TOC (Total Organic Carbon) in groundwater around the underground LPG storage cavern, the laboratory scale experiments at various conditions (change of air injection volume and temperature, the application of ultrasonic treatment, etc.) for two types of groundwater (initial TOC concentration of 608 mg/L and 153 mg/L, respectively). From results of experiment, as the air injection rate for stripping into groundwater increased from 2 L/min to 11 L/min and as the air-stripping time increased from 1 hour to 24 hour, the TOC removal efficiency of air-stripping increased. However, the TOC concentration of treated groundwater was higher than the discharge tolerance limit (100 mg/L) even after 24 hour stripping at the maximum air injection rate of 11 L/min. The main compounds of the TOC in groundwater were identified as methanol and propane and the long stripping time (more than 24 hour) was needed to separate the methanol from groundwater because of the affinity between water and methanol. At 20℃ and 4 L/min of air injection, the TOC removal efficiency increased to 59.1% after 24 hour air-stripping. When the temperature of groundwater increased to 30℃ and 40℃, the TOC removal efficiency increased up to 80.0% and 82.8%, suggesting that more than 24 hour air-stripping at 40℃ is needed to lower the TOC concentration to below 100 mg/L and the additional TOC removal process as well as the air-stripping is necessary. When the temperature increased to 60℃ and the ultrasonic treatment was conjugated with the air-stripping, the TOC removal efficiency increased to 87.8% within 5 hour stripping and the final TOC concentration (72.4 mg/L) was satisfied with the TOC discharge tolerance limit. The TOC removal efficiency for groundwater having low TOC concentration (153 mg/L) also showed similar removal efficiency of 89.7% (the final TOC concentration: 18.9 mg/L). Results in this study supported that the air-stripping conjugated with the ultrasonic treatment could remove successfully the TOC in groundwater around the underground LPG strorage cavern.

This study has tried to develop the modified DRASTIC Model by supplying the parameters, such as structural lineament density and land-use, into conventional DRASTIC model, and to predict the potential of groundwater contamination using GIS in Hwanam 2 District, Gyeonggi Province, Korea. Since the aquifers in Korea is generally through the joints of rock-mass in hydrogeological environment, lineament density affects to the behavior of groundwater and contaminated plumes directly, and land-use reflect the effect of point or non-point source of contamination indirectly. For the statistical analysis, lattice-layers of each parameter were generated, and then level of confidence was assessed by analyzing each correlation coefficient. Groundwater contamination potential map was achieved as a final result by comparing modified DRASTIC potential and the amount of pollutant load logically. The result suggest the predictability of contamination potential in a specified area in the respects of hydrogeological aspect and water quality.
