The quantitative determination of trace cyanide ion in the presence of sulfide ion has been studied by addition of cupric ion using differential pulse Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry. The detection limit of cyanide ion in the presence of $5.0*10^{-5}M$ sulfide ion and $1.0*10^{-3}M$ cupric ion was $2.0*10^{-7}M$ in KCI-Phosphate buffer(pH=7.0) at accumulation potential -0.30V and accumulation time 3.0 min.

In this study, we analyzed the causes of major faults in the biogas plant through the case of gas engine failure when cogenerating electricity and heat using biogas as a fuel in the actual sewage treatment plant and suggested countermeasures. Hydrogen sulfide in the biogas entering the biogas engine and water caused by intermittent malfunction of the water removal system caused intercooler corrosion in the biogas engine. In addition, the siloxane in the biogas forms a silicate compound with silicon dioxide, which causes scratches and wear of the piston surface and the inner wall of the cylinder liner. The substances attached to the combustion chamber and the exhaust system were analyzed to be combined with hydrogen sulfide and other impurities. It is believed that hydrogen sulfide was supplied to the desulfurization plant for a long period of time because of the high content of hydrogen sulfide (more than 50ppm) in the biogas and the hydrogen sulfide was introduced into the engine due to the decrease of the removal efficiency due to the breakthrough point of the activated carbon in the desulfurization plant. In addition, the hydrogen sulfide degrades the function of the activated carbon for siloxane removal of the adsorption column, which is considered to be caused by the introduction of unremoved siloxane waste into the engine, resulting in various types of engine failure. Therefore, hydrogen sulfide, siloxane, and water can be regarded as the main causes of the failure of the biogas engine. Among them, hydrogen sulfide reacts with other materials causing failure and can be regarded as a substance having a great influence on the pretreatment process. As a result, optimization of $H_2S$ removal method seems to be an essential measure for stable operation of the biogas engine.

To understand characteristics of biogeochemical corrosion for the metal canisters that usually contain the radioactive wastes for a long-term period below the ground, some metal materials consisting of cast iron and copper were reacted for 3 months with D. desulfuricans, a sulfate-reducing bacterium, under a reducing condition. During the experiment, concentrations of dissolved metal ions were periodically measured, and then metal specimen and surface secondary products were examined using the electron microscopy to know the chemical and mineralogical changes of the original metal samples. The metal corrosion was not noticeable at the absence of D. desulfuricans, but it was relatively greater at the presence of the bacterium. In our experiment, darkish metal sulfides such as mackinawite and copper sulfide were the final products of biogeochemical metal corrosion, and they were easily scaled off the original specimen and suspended as colloids. For the copper specimen, in particular, there appeared an accelerated corrosion of copper in the presence of dissolved iron and bacteria in solution, probably due to a weakening of copper-copper binding caused by a growth of other phase, iron sulfide, on the copper surface.

산화환경에 노출된 폐광석에 포함되어 있는 황화광물은 산소와 물과의 화학반응을 통해 산화작용을 받게 되고, 이로 인하여 Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu 및 As등의 원소의 용해반응이 발생할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 이와 같이 용해된 금속이온은 pH등 환경의 변화에 따라 2차광물(산화광물 및 황산염광물)로 침전되거나 흡착되어 수용액으로부터 제거되어 자연적으로 고정화 될 수 있다. 이처럼 황화광물의 산화작용에 의해 형성된 2차광물에 대한 광물학적 연구는 광산복원을 결정하는데 직접적인 지구화학적 자료로 활용될 수 있다. 삼산제일광산에 방치된 폐광석을 대상으로 XRD, SEM/EDS을 이용하여 광물학적 연구를 수행한 결과 침전과 공침, 흡착 등의 화학반응을 통하여 현재 고정화되고 있는 것이 확인되었다.

In order to identify if bacteria surviving in soils and groundwater can change the oxidation/reduction potential of groundwater, Eh values of solution that contained bacteria were measured for 2 weeks. The Eh values of the solution reacted with sulfate-reducing bacteria decreased from -120 mV to -500 mV in 5 days, and $Desulfuricans$ was superior to $Vulgaris$ in reducing the solution. The Eh value was relatively higher for the solution containing $Shewanella$, iron-reducing bacteria, showing -400 mV. During the Eh decrease by the metal-reducing bacteria, a sulfide mineral such as mackinawite (FeS) started precipitating through the microbial reducing process for sulfate and ferric iron. These results show that the ORP of natrual groundwater may be sensitive to the geomicrobial respiration. In addition, a subsurface environment where groundwater is highly reduced and sulfide minerals are largely biogenerated may be a good place to retard the migration of oxidized radionu-clides by making them precipitated as reduced forms.

This paper aims to explain the safety assessment and remediation mechanism of Granulated Coal Ash (GCA) as a material for the remediation of coastal sediments and to evaluate the improvement of the sediment in Kaita Bay, where GCA was applied. The concentrations of heavy metal contained in GCA and the dissolved amounts of heavy metal from GCA satisfied the criteria for soil and water pollution in Japan. The mechanisms on the remediation of coastal sediments using GCA is summarized as follows; (1) removal of phosphate and hydrogen sulfide (2) neutralization of acidic sediment (3) oxidation of reductive sediment (4) increase of water permeability (5) increase of soil strength (6) material for a base of seagrass. From the results obtained from the field experiment carried out in Kaita Bay, it was clarified that GCA is a promizing material for remediation of coastal sediment. This remediation technology can contribute to promote waste reduction in society and to decrease cost of coastal sediment remediation by applying GCA in other polluted coastal areas.

최근 급속한 산업발달로 인하여 환경오염이 날로 심화되고 있으며, 특히 재배적인 측면에서 토양이나 수질의 중금속오염 문제가 크게 우려되고 있다. 이 중 Cu와 Zn은 식물체의 탄수화물이나 단백질 합성 및 여러 가지 효소 작용에 필수적인 원소이지만 그 양이 과다하면 철 결핍 증상과 비슷한 잎의 황화(chlorosis)현상을 일으킨다. 한편, humus내에 함유되어 있는 humic acid는 양액에 첨가하면 다가의 양이온과 결합하여 난용성 염을 형성하고 (중략)

중금속의 용해도에 미치는 지배요인 중에서 금속의 지화학적 phases, 용액의 pH 및 반응 시간 등이 중금속 원소의 용해에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 실험결과, 청양광산의 과거 광산사무실에 있었던 장소의 광미들은 탄산염광물을 함유하는 것으로 보이고 하천 둑에 땋여있는 광미들보다 산화작용이 더 많이 진행되어 있는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 반폐쇄형 오염 수역을 포함해 특히 양식장내 퇴적층과 같이 오염이 상당히 진행된 해저 퇴적물을 효율적, 경제적으로 정화하기 위해 제철 공정에서 나오는 부산물인 제강 슬래그를 복토재로 활용하는 데에 있다. 오염된 퇴적물로부터 대량으로 용출되는 황화수소와 인산염 둥은 양식 생물에 직ㆍ간접적으로 악영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 해역내 부영양화의 주요한 원인이 되는 것으로 알려져 있다. (중략)
