The one of the most important concerns in the design of the final cover system is to restrict percolation of water into the waste body. To minimize entering the water, the final cover system has the barrier layer that consists of a single compacted clay liner(CCL) or a composite liner with high density polyethylene(HDPE) overlying CCL. The HDPE as well as CCL can be damaged by landfill settlements. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the effects of HDPE induced by settlements in the final cover system after closure. The results of the three test that is field test, lysimeter test in laboratory, and prediction of settlement represent that the HDPE in the final cover system is not pretty much affected by settlements and stable on settlements.

The chemical property analysis on the deposited clay using scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer were performed. Also, the triaxial compression tests and consolidation tests using NaCl aqueous solution and leachate as substitute pore (or saturated) water in samples were carried out to find out the behaviour characteristics of strength and deformation of contaminated deposited clay. from the chemical composition analysis results of clay samples, the magnitudes of composition ratio were revealed in the order of O, C, Si, Al, and Fe. Of these, why the ratio of carbon appeared to be large is estimated as due to the increase of the phyto-planktons after the construction of tide embankment. In the triaxial compression test and consolidation test results, the shear strength and compression properties have increased with the increase in concentration of contaminant (NaCl). This phenomenon is considered as to be caused by the changes of soil structure to flocculent structure owing to the decrease in the thickness of diffuse double layer in proportion to increase in the concentration of electrolyte.

한전 원자력 환경기술원에서는 중ㆍ저준위 방사성폐기물 유리화 기술의 상용화 가능성을 입증하기 위한 유리화 실증설비를 건설하여 시험 중에 있으며 이 유리화 기술은 유도 가열식 저온로(Cold Crucible Melter, CCM)에 폐기물을 투입하는 기술로서 폐기물의 부피 축소 효과와 더불어 최종 고화물로 생성되는 폐기물의 침출율이 매우 낮은 장점을 지닌다. 이와 같은 유리화 공정은 기존의 소각처리에서와 같이 폐기물의 열적 산화과정에 의해 유해오염가스와 입자성 물질이 발생된다. 따라서 이를 처리하기 위해배기체 처리공정(Off Gas Treatment System, OGTS)을 설치하여 환경 배출기준(SO$_2$300ppm, NO$_2$ 200ppm, CO 600ppm, HCI 50ppm, 분진 100mg/Nm$^3$ 등)을 만족하도록 하였고 특히 입자성 물질은 후단 OGTS나 배관내 침적으로 인한 방사성 오염을 막기 위해 CCM 후단에서 효율적으로 제거되어야만 한다.

Numerous abandoned or closed mines are present in the steep mountain valleys in Korea due to the depression of the mining industry since the late 1980s. From the mines, enormous amounts of wastes were dumped on the slopes causing sedimentation and acid mine drainage to be discharged directly into streams causing detrimental effects on surrounding environment. Objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of the lime cake by-product from the soda ash production (Solvay process) to neutralize the pyrophyllite mine wastes, which have discharged the acid drainage to soil and stream in the watershed. The pH of mine wastes was strongly acidic at pH 3.67 containing over 16% of $Al_2O_3$ and 11% of $Fe_2O_3$. Whereas the lime cake by-product was strongly basic at pH 9.97 due to high contents of CaO, MgO and $CaCl_2$ as major components. Column experiments were conducted to test the neutralizing capacity of the lime cake by-product for the acidic pyrophyllite mine wastes. The column packed with the wastes (control) was treated with the lime cake by-product, calcium carbonate, the dressing soil or combination. The distilled water was eluted statically through the column and the leachate was collected for the chemical analyses. Treatments of the mine wastes with the lime cake by-product (or calcium carbonate) as mixtures increased pH of the leachate from $3.5{\sim}4.0\;to\;7{\sim}8$. Concentrations of Fe and Al in the leachate were also decreased below 1.0 mg $L^{-1}$. A Similar result was observed at the combined treatments of the mine waste, the lime by-product (or calcium carbonate) and the dressing soil. The results indicated that the lime cake by-product could sufficiently neutralize the acid drainage from the pyrophyllite mine wastes without dressing soils.
