Melting is one of the most effective treatments for stabilizing heavy metals and also creates high value by-products. In this study, authors evaluated the leaching characteristics of heavy metals in melting slag obtained by incinerator ashes. In order to evaluate the environmental compatibility of the recycled melting slag, the samples were analysed various leaching tests of heavy metals with raw incinerator ashes, melting slag and the construction materials recycled from melting slag. As the results : (1) The leaching concentrations of the melting slag were lower than those of the raw incinerator ashes in the experiment performed in accordance with Korea Standard Leaching Test (KSLT). (2) The heavy metal concentration of long term leaching test, which was conducted in various pH conditions, were under the standard level of regulation in KSLT. (3) The leaching concentration of mortar samples used for evaluating the feasibility of recycling the melting slag as construction materials also shows the suitable range for recycling. (4) The result of leaching test with the method of RG Min-StB 93, FGSV (Forschungsgesellschaft fur Stra$\beta$en- und Verkehrswesen) met the requirements in German.

Dissolution properties for the 6 inorganic pollutants (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr) in soils have been studied. These 6 inorganic pollutants were spiked to 3 kinds of fresh soils which were sand, clay, and loam. The dissolution properties of the prepared samples were investigated under the various extracting conditions such as extracting time, acid concentration, particle size, etc. in order to obtain basic information about the process of extraction test and improvement of related analytical methods. As the results, dissolution properties were affected mainly by acid concentration in extracting procedure and mineral composition of soils. On the other hand, extracting time, sort of acids and particle size of soils had a little influence on the dissolution properties. Cd revealed very high dissolving efficiency and As was very low in whole extracting test.

담수와 해수가 혼합되는 환경에서 퇴적 저니로부터의 오염 물질 용출률을 조사하였다. 축산폐수와 산업폐수의 영향을 받은 두 지점의 퇴적저니 시료에 대해 해수와 담수로 장기(약4주) 용출 시험을 행한 결과, 해수보다는 담수에서의 오염물질(영양염류 및 중금속) 용출률이 높은 것으로 조사되었는데, 이는 담수에서의 이온강도(ionic strength)가 상대적으로 낮아 오염성분의 포화농도가 높기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 용존산소의 농도를 달리하여 시험한 결과 무산소 상태에서의 용출률이 호기성 상태에서 보다 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 그 원인이 생물학적인 것인지 화학적인 것인지는 밝혀지지 않았다. 시험결과를 종합해 볼 때 무산소 상태의 담수에서 오염물질의 용출이 극대화되며, 따라서 강어귀 등과 같이 유속이 작아져 오염물질의 침강은 잘되는 반면 오염물질의 해수에 의한 희석 효과는 적은 경우가 저니로 인한 수질 환경영향이 가장 클 것으로 예측된다.

국내 신규댐 건설에 있어, 침수토양의 용출에 의한 호내 수질영향에 대해서는 현재까지 정량화된 사례는 찾기 어려우며, 댐 담수 초기에 증가되는 오염원에 대한 정확한 조사자료의 부족으로 담수이후의 수질변화에 대한 정확한 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 외부 오염부하의 강우시 유입과 퇴적물로부터의 영양염용출 등의 내부 오염부하가 함께 고려된 수질예측기법의 적용이 필요하다. 수몰지 토양 및 호내로부터의 내부부하에 있어서는 퇴적물 내의 다량 존재하는 오염물이 재용출 되거나 퇴적물 내의 화학적 생물학적 반응이 하천 수질에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 대부분 수몰지토양에서 수층으로 용출되는 유기물의 양은 수층에서 퇴적물로 흡수 또는 침강 되는 것보다 많은 경우도 있으며, 오염된 수계에서는 내부 부하량이 과다할 경우 수질 개선을 어렵게 하는 요인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2016년 시험담수 예정지인 신규댐 수몰지를 대상으로 토양에 포함된 유기물이 자연상태에서 수체로 용출되는 특성을 분석하여 수질에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 한다. 댐 수몰지의 토양 시료는 시험담수전 2016년 7월, 토지이용 유형별로 5개지점(논, 밭, 대지, 임야, 하천)에서 시료를 채집하여 총 36일간 용출실험을 실시하였으며, 수층내 용존산소 조건을 호기성 조건과 혐기성 조건으로 나누어 실험하였다. 수질분석은 COD, T-N, T-P, $PO_4-P$등 9개 항목에 대해 실험기간 중 13회 실시하였다. 토양별 점유면적 대비 일 용출량은(kg/day) COD 63 kg/day, T-N 93.6 kg/day, T-P 5.8 kg/day, $PO_4-P$ 4.6 kg/day 였으며, 수몰지 내 토지이용현황별 오염원 기여율은 임야, 밭, 하천, 논, 대지 순 이었다. 본 실험은 수몰지토양의 순수용출량만을 담수개시~36일간 측정한 결과로서 실제 저수지환경에서는 실험값보다 낮을 것으로 판단되며, 수중 수질환경 변화 및 퇴적물의 퇴적 등으로 인하여 원토양으로부터의 용출로 인한 수질에의 영향은 시간의 경과와 함께 변화 또는 감소될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 실험결과는 담수초기의 영향으로 국한하여 해석하는 것이 바람직하며, 보다 장기적인 영향파악을 위해서는 담수 후의 퇴적물의 거동(퇴적현황) 파악 및 담수 후 퇴적물의 장기용출실험을 통한 용출량 검토가 필요하다.

In this study, to investigate the effect of stabilization of Pb-contaminated soil near a smelter site for the reduction of environmental risk of Pb leaching, commercial stabilizers were amended with the Pb-contaminated soil and evaluated leaching characteristics of Pb in soil by TCLP and SPLP leaching test. Also, performing sequential extraction procedure speciation of Pb in the amended soil was investigated. Limestone, AC-2 (Amron), Metafix (Peroxychem) that possess stabilization performance towards heavy metal in soil and mass production is available were selected as candidates. AC-2 contained a CaCO₃ and MgO crystalline phase, while Metafix had a Fe₇S₈ crystalline phase, according to XRD studies. Pb content in SPLP extract was lower than the South Korean drinking water standard for Pb in groundwater at 4% AC-2 and Metafix treatment soil, and TCLP-based stabilization effectiveness was more than 90%. The findings of the sequential extraction method of soil treated with Metafix revealed that fractions 1 and 2 of Pb, which correspond to relatively high mobility and bioavailable fractions, were lowered, while the residual fraction (fraction 5) was raised. As a consequence, the order of performance for Pb stabilization in polluted soil was Metafix>AC-2>limestone.

본 논문에서는 폐타이어를 지반보강재로 재활용하는 경우 배수조건에 따른 용출특성을 알아보기 위하여 실내실험을 실시하였다 배수조건과 비배수조건으로 연속식 용출시험을 수행하여. 유출수의 pH, 탁도, TOC, Zn 농도를 분석하였다. 실험결과 배수조건인 경우 시간이 경과할수록 용출 농도가 감소하여 주변 환경에 큰 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 판단되나, 비배수 조건인 경우 용출 농도가 증가하는 현상을 발견할 수 있었다. 배수조건은 폐타이어가 지하수위 위에 존재하는 경우이며, 비배수조건은 폐타이어가 지하수위 아래에 존재하는 경우에 해당한다. 특히, 폐타이어가 지하수위 아래에 위치하는 경우 지오텍스타일의 클로깅 등으로 인하여 배수가 원활히 되지 않을 경우에는 주변환경에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되며 이에 대한 각별한 주의가 필요할 것이다.

본 연구는 군부대 사격장의 중금속 오염토양에 대하여 생물학적 용출기술(BT)과 전기동력학적 기술(ET)의 통합공정의 적용성 평가 연구에 대한 것이다. 사격장 오염 토양의 경우 사격에 의해 탄두가 피탄지에 박히면서 오염토양 내에 잔존하여 탄두를 구성하는 주성분인 납과 구리 등에 의해 지속적인 오염원으로 작용하는 특징을 가진다. 따라서 사격장 토양오염정화를 위해서는 이 탄두를 물리적으로 선별하는 물리적 선별공정을 전처리공정으로 수행한 후 인공적으로 조성된 셀에 통합공정 적용성 평가를 위한 현장실증시험을 수행하였다. 생물학적 용출을 통해 토양내 잔류하는 중금속을 이온화시켜 이동성을 크게 한후 전기동력학적 기술을 통해 토양내에서 전해질로 이동시켜 최종적으로 전해질을 처리하는 시스템으로써 공정 모니터링결과 납과 구리 모두 주목할 만한 제거효율을 얻을수 있었다. 오염물질별 공정 적용성 평가결과 납의 경우 황산화박테리아에 의해 이온화가 되지만 황산화박테리아의 생장 부산물인 황산염이온(${SO_4}^{2-}$)과 반응하여 안정성이 큰 Anglesite($PbSO_4 $)를 형성하므로 전체적인 제거효율이 저하되는 것을 확인하였고 기타 미생물을 이용한 생물학적 용출기술 연구의 필요성을 확인하였다. 구리의 경우 황산염박테리아를 이용한 생물학적 용출공정 및 전기동력학적 처리공정의 통합공정을 통해 주목할 만한 제거효율을 얻을수 있었으며 통합공정의 효율성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 미생물학적 용출기술과 전기동력학적 기술의 통합공정은 현장특이성(Site-specific) 확인후 적용가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

Nitrogen releasing characteristics of polymer-coated urea(PCU) that made acrylic synthetic resins were studied in incubated soil, water and paddy soil. Also, their correlations and degradation patterns of coating material were tested. Releasing rate of nitrogen from PCU decreased with increasing coating rate. N001(coating rate 8.5%) and N003(coasting rater 6.3%) were low releasing amount at the early stage, whereas N005(coating rate 4.8%) was released over 80% within 20 days. Relationship of the releasing rate between incubated soil($25^{\circ}C$) and paddy soil could be described as follows : $Y=-0.0011X^2+2.2931X-50.264(R^2=0.9884)$ for N001, $Y=-0.0016X^2+1.1587X+5.5064(R^2=0.9805)$ for N003 and $Y=-0.03X^2+6.499X-243.22(R^2=0.9422)$ for N005, respectively (Y: release rate at field condition, X: experiment period). Relationship of the releasing rate between incubated water($30^{\circ}C$) and paddy soil can be described as follows : $Y=0.0011X^2+2.2601X-25.329(R^2=0.9884)$ for N001, $Y=-0.0306X^2+4.4994X-76.307(R^2=0.955)$ for N003 and $Y=-0.0164X^2+3.7764X-108.22(R^2=0.9422)$ for N005. After 150 days, coating materials of N001, N003, and N005 in incubated soil were degraded approximately 23%, 22% and 15%, respectively. Also The scanning electron microscope examination of coating material revealed that particle surface became gradually shattered with the time after the soil treatment.

The aim of research is the evaluation of the $Cr^{6+}$ emission features of the liquid injection through emission experiments in varying conditions, based on a field-mixing ratio. The results showed that the content of $Cr^{6+}$ content in cement measured had an Ordinary Potland Cement (OPC) of 25.3 mg/kg, which constitute the largest portion among the other materials. Likewise, the emission experiment of homo-gel and sand-gel generally satisfied the standard of KSLT (Korea Standard Leaching Test) in waste of 1.5 mg/L, but in case of the standard of KSLT in soil the emission of OPC $Cr^{6+}$ of 4.85 mg/kg. These conditions is a little exceeded the criteria in the ‘Ga’ area in terms of Korea Soil Environmental Preservation Law. In addition, results generated by the mock-up injection facilities revealed that $Cr^{6+}$ emission increased as Water/Cement and injection pressure increased. At injection pressure higher than 4 kg/㎤, $Cr^{6+}$ emission exceeded the water preservation standard of 0.5 mg/L. Similarly, a pattern experiment of C $r^{6+}$ emission according to pH was conducted, in order to evaluate the $Cr^{6+}$ emission features of grout materials in leachate below pH 5 such as pH 4 acid rain or landfill. Results show that $Cr^{6+}$ emission dramatically increased in high acidic or basic state. It indicates that $Cr^{6+}$ emission will probably increase in an environment where grout materials are injected. On the other hand, concentration of leachate was determined in areas where grout materials are used. The results show that the concentration of emission in an ultra purity condition does not manifest intensity, and is affected in the OPC>MC>SC order. It means that the pollutants or $Cr^{6+}$ emission increases with decreasing concentration. As such, $Cr^{6+}$ emission will probably exceed the countermeasure criteria according to the types of gout materials. Similarly, high pressure or injection will cause increased $Cr^{6+}$ emission. Therefore, the selection of materials or mixing ratio should be considered in general as well as according to specific industries, based on the strength and pH of $Cr^{6+}$ emission.

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.
