Coal-fired power plants supply roughly 50 percent of the nation's electricity but produce a disproportionate share of electric utility-related air pollution. Coal combustion technology can facilitate volume reduction of up to 90%, with the inorganic contaminants being captured in furnace bottom ash and fly ash residues. These disposal coal ash residues are however governed by the potential release of constituent contaminants into the environment. Accelerated carbonation process has been shown to have a potential for improving the chemical stability and leaching behavior of bottom ash residues. The aim of this work was to quantify the volume of $CO_2$ that could be sequestrated with a view to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and stabilize the contaminated heavy metals from bottom ash samples. In this study, we used PC boiler bottom ash, Kanvera reactor (KR) slag and calcined waste lime for measuring chemical analysis and heavy metals leaching tests were performed and also the formation of calcite resulting from accelerated carbonation process was investigated by thermo gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA).

The Study mainly focused on bioremediation of 16 types PAHs and heavy metals in contaminated marine sediments at filed scale study using slow release biostimulant ball (BSB) was investigated. In our experiment, filed scale study ($1m{\times}1m$) was performed and the effect of BSB on PAHs and heavy metals were analysed. BSB size and distance were determined and optimum size and distance were 3cm and 5.5cm respectively. BSB containing nutrients of acetate, nitrate and sulphate which can enhance the activity of microorganism to increase degrading capacity of PAHs and enhance the heavy metals stabilization also to decrease bioavailability. PAHs containing 16 types of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 rings compound PAHs were found and to degrade upto 100% in 2, 3 rings, upto 90 to 94% in 4 and 5 rings and 6 ring compound was degrade up to 70%. For heavy metals stabilization percentage was increased using BSB sediment and exchangeable portion was decreased and residual portion was increased in all analysed heavy metals. BSB enhance the PAHs degradation and stabilization of heavy metals percentages. BSB is a promising method for remediation of PAHs and heavy metals in contaminated marine sediments.

민간 및 군용사격장은 납, 구리 등의 중금속으로 오염되어 있어 복원이 필요한 경우가 많다. 산세척 또는 용출제를 이용한 용출이 흔히 사용되는 복원공법이다. 사격장 오염토양을 채취하여 오염특성 및 고비중 입자의 기여율을 조사하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 사격장 오염토양은 중금속, 특히 납으로 오염되어 있었으며, Ethylenediamine Tetra Acetic Acid(EDTA)를 이용한 5회 반복추출에도 환경기준치 이상의 오염이 토양시료에 남아 있었다. 이는 토양시료에 계속적으로 오염을 유출하는 입자가 존재하거나 오염제거가 매우 어려운 상태로 오염이 존재한다는 것을 의미한다. 토양시료에 포함된 색을 띠는 특이입자를 분리하여 분석한 결과 이들 입자는 비중이 2.5-6.6이고, 납과 EDTA의 결합율이 4.9-32%로 탄두 및 탄피가 잘게 부서진 입자로 판단되었다. 이들 입자를 제거한 토양은 오염도가 제거하기 전 토양에 비하여 낮으며, 용출 등의 기술로 쉽게 오염이 제거될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 연속추출 및 TCLP 등의 연구에서 증명되었다.

본 연구에서는 안동댐 퇴적물의 일반항목과 중금속의 용출 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 용출 실험은 카드뮴, 구리, 납, 크롬, 아연, 수은, 비소, 철, 망간 등 중금속 9개 및 pH, 총인, 총질소등 일반 3개 항목에 대해 혐기성과 호기성 조건에서 60일간 실험을 수행하였다. 총질소와 총인은 호기성 조건에 비해 혐기성 조건의 용출이 높게 나타났으며, 일부 시료에서 높은 농도가 검출되었다. 대부분의 중금속의 용출율은 아주 낮았으며, 퇴적물에서 함유량이 높은 비소와 카드뮴도 최대 용출량이 각각 0.028 mg/L, 0.003 mg/L로 낮은 값을 나타낸다. 5단계 연속추출연구에서는 쉽게 용출될 수 있는 이온교환형태나 흡착한 형태의 분율이 전체 함유량의 10% 미만으로 낮게 나타났다. 대부분의 중금속은 왕수에 용해되는 잔류(residual)형태로 존재하고 있으며, 특히 독성이 높고 오염도가 높은 비소와 카드뮴의 경우 잔류형태로 존재하는 비율이 각각 80%와 95%로 오염도에 비해 짧은 시간에 용출되어 유해성을 일으킬 가능성은 낮은 것으로 판단된다.

Suspended Solid (SS) is one of the main pollutants and discharges with attached other pollutants such as heavy metal and toxic substance. It is very important to estimate and forecast the release characteristics of SS for water quality improvement. The current studies assumed that SS release rate is proportional to the rain intensity and suggested exponential washoff models. These models related to the shear force of flow. In this study, a new washoff model is suggested based on relation with SS release rate and mean flow rate of the basin surface which is closely related to the shear force. The proposed model is applied to the Goonja drainage district in Seoul, Korea. The new washoff model simulates the SS discharge more accurately in the various rainfall types. The model can be widely applied to the real problems such as the management of non-point source pollutant and the design of treatment facilities.

Phosphorus is a vital resource for sustaining agriculture and nutrition, but a limited non-renewable resource. Thus, the recovery of phosphorus from waste activated sludge(WAS) was attempted by microwave heating and magnesium ammonium phosphorus(MAP) crystallization. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms(PAOs) in WAS release phosphate from the cell when they are exposed to high temperature environments. Microwave heating caused phosphorus and ammonia to release from WAS. The amount was increased with increasing temperature, showing that 88.5% of polyphosphate present in the cells were released in the form of phosphate at $80^{\circ}C$. A similar result was also observed in the release of ammonia. On the other hand, both phosphorus and ammonia were crystallized with magnesium, and then was harvested as MAP. Phosphorus recovery rate reached almost 97.8%, but the ammonia was about 13.4%. These results cleary indicate that phosphorus could be recovered from WAS using a physiological trait of PAOs. Heavy metal analyses also show that the MAP crystal is useful and safe as a phosphorus fertilizer.

The adsorption characteristics of mixed heavy metals (Cr(III), As(VI)) in aqueous solution were investigated using a sediment amendment composite. Sediment amendment composite was composed of clean sediment (40%), zeolite (20%), recycled aggregate (10%), steel slag (10%), oyster shell (10%), and cement (10%). The experimental results showed that the adsorption equilibrium was attained after 180 mins. Heavy metal adsorption was characterized using Freundlich and Langmuir equations. The equilibrium adsorption data for the sediment amendment composite better fitted with the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) (36.07 mg/g) was higher than As(III) (25.54 mg/g); and the adsorption efficiency of the Cr(VI) and As(III) ions solution decreased with decreasing pH from 2 to 10. The collective results suggested that the sediment amendment composite is a promising material for a reactive cap that controls the release of Cr(VI) and As(III) from contaminated sediments.

The elimination of harmful heavy metals (Cd, Cr, and Pb) from sea lettuce Enteromorpha sp. was evaluated in filtered seawater over a pH range of 2.0-4.0 using citric, hydrochloric, and nitric acids. We also evaluated the quality of sea lettuce samples after release of their internal constituents into seawater solutions containing acids. The heavy metals that accumulated in raw sea lettuce after incubation for 3 days in seawater containing Cd, Cr, and Pb were, in descending order, Pb ($120.45{\mu}g/g$), Cr ($86.04{\mu}g/g$), and Cd ($18.35{\mu}g/g$). The rate of elimination of heavy metals from sea lettuce was higher at lower pH for all of the acids used. However, the color of the sea lettuce changed adversely at below pH 2.5. The heavy metals in sea lettuce samples after 10 min in seawater at pH 3.0 containing the three acids were eliminated in the order Pb (42.2-78.0%), Cd (51.8-55.3%), and Cr (14.0-32.8%). The quality of the sea lettuce was not affected when it was incubated for 30 min at pH above 3.0. The maximum elimination of heavy metals from sea lettuce occurred when it was soaked for 10 min in seawater at pH 3.0 containing citric acid.

생물활성촉진제를 이용하여 연안 오염저질의 정화 효율을 평가하기 위하여 해역에서 칼럼 실험을 수행하였다. 오염도가 낮은 해양저질에 황산염, 질산염 및 아세테이트 등의 생물활성물질을 첨가하여 작은 볼 형태로 만들었으며, 생물활성촉진물질의 용출율을 조절하기 위하여 볼 표면을 폴리머(Cellulose acetate, CA and Polysufone, PS)로 코팅한 생물활성촉진제를 제작하였다. 생물활성촉진제를 연안에서 채취한 오염저질과 혼합한 후 컬럼에 주입하여 연안의 수중에 침지시켰으며, 시간에 따른 오염물질의 변화특성을 평가하였다. pH는 실험 종료일 까지 큰 변화 없이 약 7.6~8로 유지되었으며, COD, TP, TN농도변화는 생물활성촉진제를 투여한 칼럼에서 더 낮게 평가되었다. 중금속(Fe, Zn, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu) 분포는 생물활성촉진제를 투여한 칼럼에서 매우 안정적인 형태로 변환되었으며, PS 코팅 생물활성촉진제를 투여한 칼럼이 유무기 오염물질 정화에 더 효과적인 것으로 평가되었다.
