Electrokinetic remediation was studied for the removal of toxic heavy metals from tailing soils. This study emphasized the dependency of removal efficiency upon heavy metal speciation, as demonstrated by different extraction methods (sequential extraction, total digestion, and 0.1 N HC1 extraction). The tailing soils examined showed different physicochemical characteristics, in view of initial pH, particle size distribution, and major mineral constituents, and contained high concentrations of target metal contaminants in various forms. The electrokinetic removal efficiency of heavy metals was significantly influenced by their partitioning prior to treatment, and by the pHs of the tailing soils. The mobile and weakly bound fractions of heavy metals, such as exchangeable fraction, were easily removed by electrokinetic treatment (more than 90% in removal efficiency), whereas immobile and strongly bound fractions, such as organically bound and residual fractions, were not effectively removed (less than 20% in removal efficiency).

Heavy metal contamination and biological toxicity of mine drainages and sediments in abandoned mines were studied. Mine drainages had pH at a range of 2.94~7.86, and contained heavy metals at a toxic level. For coal mines, toxicity of mine drainage to Daphnia magna was attributable to acidic pH. In addition to the low pH, suspended heavy metals such as Zn and Cu contributed to toxicity of mine drainages at abandoned metalliferous mines. All mine sediments studied in this work showed biological toxicity to Chironomus riparius, having mortality at a range of 15~60%. However, its relationship with physicochemical properties including heavy metal content of the sediments was not statistically explained. Exceptionally clay ($< 2{\mu}m$ particle) content was negatively correlated with the biological toxicity for sediment samples collected at the same abandoned mines.

In order to systematically and scientifically manage the organic and heavy metals against sediment at Daecheon Port, this study conducted particle composition, organic materials and heavy metals irradiation studies of sediments. Analysis of the grain size composition of sediments in the target study area showed the distribution characteristics of the mix of sand, silt and clay. That is, Station C (Stn. C) showed superior by fine-grained sediment, Station A and B (Stn. A and B) showed superior by coarse-grained sediment. The organic matter(COD, TOC, and IL) of Stn. C was appeared to be heavily polluted more than Stn. A and B. These data for the spatial properties in sediment showed that organic matter was related positively to the sediment silt-clay content. Also, in the case of heavy metals contamination in surface sediments, Stn. C was higher than Stn. A and B. Particularly, at the Stn. C, high organic matter concentration and C/N ratio value( >10) indicated that the sediment was composed highly of land-derived organic matter. From these results, it considered that the correlation analysis among to silt-clay, organic matter and heavy metal was found to have a good interrelationship.

A heavy particle accelerator is a device that accelerates particles using high energy and is used in various fields such as medical and industrial fields as well as research. However, secondary neutrons and particle fragments are generated by the high-energy particle beam, and among them, the neutrons do not have an electric charge and directly interact with the nucleus to cause radiation of the material. Quantitative evaluation of the radioactive material produced in this way is necessary, but there are many difficulties in actual measurement during or after operation. Therefore, this study compared and evaluated the generated radioactive material in the concrete shield for protons and carbon ions of specific energy by using the simulation code FLUKA. For the evaluation of each energy of proton beam and carbon ion, the reliability of the source term was secured within 2% of the relative error with the data of the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory(NSRL), which is an internationally standardized data. In the evaluation, carbon ions exhibited higher neutron flux than protons. Afterwards, in the evaluation of radioactive materials under actual operating conditions for disposal, a large amount of short-lived beta-decay nuclides occurred immediately after the operation was terminated, and in the case of protons with a high beam speed, more radioactive products were generated than carbon ions. At this time, radionuclides of ⁴⁴Sc, ³H and ²²Na were observed at a high rate. In addition, as the cooling time elapsed, the ratio of long-lived nuclides increased. For nonparticulate radionuclides, ³H, ²²Na, and for particulate radionuclides, ⁴⁴Ti, ⁵⁵Fe, ⁶⁰Co, ¹⁵²Eu, and ¹⁵⁴Eu nuclides showed a high ratio. In this study, it is judged that it is possible to use the particle accelerator as basic data for facility maintenance, repair and dismantling through the prediction of radioactive materials in concrete according to the cooling time after operation and termination of operation.

The emission characteristics of particulate matter (PMs) and heavy metals from hazardous industrial wast incinerators were investigated. The particle size distribution (PSD) of PM-10 showed different patterns for two tripes of incinerators; stoker and rotary kiln. However both types showed bimodal form at inlet of air pollution control devices (APCD) and each peak (mode) is located at smaller than 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and near 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. It could explain the growth of fine PM by nucleation/coagulation/condensation of metal vapors for fine mode. The PSD of PM-10 after APCD was also influenced by APCD types that had different collection mechanism, and both electrostatic precipitator and bag filter showed less collection efficiency for particles ranged from 0.2 to 0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and led to a mode in the range of 0.2 to 0.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. However the hag filter showed two modes of PSD, while the electrostatic precipitator had one peak. The PMs and heavy metals emission factors, the representative value of emission quantity for sources, for tested facilities were developed. The emission factor of uncontrolled total PM and PM-10 were 14.7 and 7.05 kg/ton waste, respectively. The emission factors from this study were a little bit different with those from US EPA AP-42. It may thus be appropriate to use these results in the course of developing national emission factors.

본 연구는 소각 비산재의 물리 화학적 특성이 중금속의 용출 거동에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 영향인자로는 비산재의 pH, CEC, 입자크기, 연속추출방법에 의해 분류된 중금속의 존재형태 중에서 exchangeable fraction을 고려하였다. KSLT법에 의한 중금속의 용출율은 pH에 크게 의존적이고 원소에 따라 차이를 보였다. 카드뮴과 구리의 용출율은 pH가 증가함에 따라 감소한 반면, 납과 아연은 중성 또는 강알칼리성 조건에서 증가하는 것으로 나타났는데, 중금속의 용출 거동이 용해도에 의해 제한됨을 나타내 준다. CEC가 중금속의 용출율에 미치는 영향은 pH와 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 비산재의 입자크기 중에서 $D_{10}$은 KSLT법에 의한 중금속의 용출량과 음의 상관성을 나타내었다. Exchangeable fraction의 경우는 비산재의 CEC 값이 40 meq/100g 미만인 시료는 선형관계에 있지만, 그 외의 CEC 값에서는 비선형관계를 보여주었다.

삼척항 내 표층 퇴적물에 대한 지화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 입도, 유기물 및 중금속 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 삼척항 퇴적물은 sand, silt, clay가 혼재된 특성을 보였으며, 내항에는 세립질이 우세하였고, 외항에는 조립질이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 표층 퇴적물의 유기물(COD, TOC, IL) 오염정도는 내항이 외항보다 더 심한 것으로 나타났으며, 총질소 및 총인 농도도 내항이 더 높은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 중금속 농도도 외항보다 내항에서 더 높았다(As 제외). 내항 표층 퇴적물의 높은 유기물 농도 및 C/N비로 보아 육상 유래 유기물의 오염 기여가 큰 것으로 판단된다. 표층 퇴적물의 입도, 이화학적 성분, 중금속 간의 상관성 분석에서 silt-clay는 중금속과 높은 상관성을 보였고, 유기물 지표와 중금속간의 상관성도 대체적으로 높게 나타났다. 중금속 연속추출결과에 따르면 Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd 및 As는 이온교환, 탄산염, 산화물 형태를 합한 평균 존재비가 각각 14.8, 49.8, 39.1, 32.2, 51.8 및 26.6%이었다.

수환경으로 유입된 미세플라스틱(<5 mm)은 중금속을 흡착하여 생태계의 먹이사슬을 통해 인간에게 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 리뷰에서는 수환경에서 미세플라스틱과 중금속 간의 흡착에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사하고, 흡착과정과 메커니즘을 종합적으로 고찰하였다. 중금속 흡착특성은 미세플라스틱의 폴리머 유형과 결정도, 입자크기, 환경적 조건(pH, 온도, 풍화작용)에 따라 영향을 받았다. 특히 풍화도가 높고 폴리머의 입자크기가 작을수록 중금속 흡착량이 증가하였으나, 흡착이 발생하는 당시 환경의 온도 및 폴리머의 결정도와 중금속 흡착량에 대한 상관관계는 확인하기 어려웠다. 중금속 흡착거동은 흡착동역학과 등온식을 통해 평가한 물리·화학적 흡착과정에 의해 설명되었으며, 일반적으로 하나 이상의 메커니즘에 의해 복합적으로 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 리뷰를 통해 미세플라스틱에 의한 중금속의 흡착거동과 메커니즘을 이해함으로써 수환경에서 미세플라스틱의 잠재적 위험을 평가하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) are characterized by being relatively heavier and denser than that of ambient air due to the various reasons such as higher molecular weight, low temperature and other complicated chemical transformations (Witlox, 1994). In an effort to investigate transport and diffusion from instantaneous emission of heavy gas, Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model (LPDM) coupled with the RAMS output was employed. Both deposition process and buoyancy term were added on the atmospheric diffusion equations of LPDM, and the locations and concentrations of dense gas particle released from instantaneous single point source (emitting initially for 10 minutes only) were analyzed. The result overall shows that adding deposition process and buoyancy terms on the diffusion equation of LPDM has very small but detectable effect on the vertical and horizontal distribution of Lagrangian particles that especially transported for a fairly long traveling time. Also the slumping of dense gas can be found to be ignored horizontally compared to the advection by the horizontal wind suggesting that it was essential to couple the Lagrangian particle dispersion model coupled with the RAMS model in order to explain the dispersion of HAPs more accurately. However, during the initial time of instantaneous emission, buoyancy term play an important role on the vertical locations of dense particles for near surface atmosphere and around source area, indicating the importance of densities of HAPs in the beginning stage or short duration for the risk assessment of HAPs or management of heavy vapors during the explosive accidents.

등방성 난류에서 부유된 무거운 입자의 운동에서, 입자의 회전이 고려되었을 때 입자의 분산 특성에 나타난 변화를 살펴보았다. 입자의 회전을 고려함으로 인해 추가로 고려되는 양력은 그 크기가 작은 것으로 알려져 있고, 따라서 많은 연구에서 회전에 의한 효과는 무시되었다. 본 연구에서는 라그랑지안 기법으로 추적한 입자의 궤적에 미치는 양력의 크기를 속도와 가속도의 자기상관함수 및 확률밀도함수를 통해 정량적으로 살펴보았다. 속도 통계량에서는 양력에 의한 효과가 무시할 만 했으나, 가속도와 관련된 통계는 양력에 의한 영향이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 난류의 가속도는 간헐성을 띄며, 간헐적인 특성은 난류 구조와 관련이 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. 따라서 입자에 작용하는 양력과 난류구조에 연관성이 있다는 유추가 가능하다.
