수은함유폐기물의 효율적인 관리방안을 마련하고자 국내 및 선진국의 유해성이 있는 폐형광등 관리 및 처리현황을 검토하였다. 국내 폐기물 관리법에서는 수은함유폐기물이라도 생활계에서 배출되면 생활폐기물로 분류하고 있으며 생활계에서 배출되는 유해성이 있는 수은함유폐기물에 대해서는 관리가 되고 있지 않다. 다만 일부 수은함유폐기물에 대해 "자원의 절약과 재활용 촉진에 관한 법률"에 따라 폐기물 부담금제도와 재활용의무대상품목에 포함되어 관리되고 있다. 따라서 폐형광등의 관리현황으로부터 수은함유폐기물의 별도의 관리방안에 수집 방안 확대와 고도처리방법 등을 포함하였고, 이러한 수은함유폐기물의 수거에서 최종 처리되는 단계까지 주체별 역할에 대해 제시하여 더욱 효율적인 관리가 이루어지도록 하였다.

A Polythiophene-quinoline/glassy carbon (PTQ/GC) modified electrode was developed for the determination of trace mercury in industrial waste water, natural water, soil, and other media. The electrode was prepared by the cyclic voltammetric polymerization of thiophene and quinoline on glassy carbon (GC) electrode by the potential application from -0.6 V to +2.0 V (50 mV/sec) in a solution of 0.1 M thiophene, quinoline and tetrabutyl ammonium perchlorate (TBAP) in acetonitrile. Optimum thickness of the polymer membrane on the GC electrode was obtained with 20 repeated potential cyclings. The redox behavior of Cu(Ⅱ) and Hg(Ⅱ) were almost identical on this electrode. The addition of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) to the solution containing Cu(Ⅱ) and Hg(Ⅱ) allowed the separation of the components due to the formation of the Cu(Ⅱ)-PAR complex reduced at -0.8V, which was different from the Hg(Ⅱ) reduced at -0.5 V on a saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The calibration graph of Hg(Ⅱ) shows good linear relationship with the correlation factor of 0.9995 and the concentration gradient of 0.33 ㎂/㎠/ppb down to 0.4 ppb Hg. The method developed was successfully applied to the determination of mercury in samples such as river, waste water, and sea water.

The traditional gold mining in Kulon Progo district, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province produced tailings containing mercury (Hg) from the gold amalgamation process. Mercury accumulated in tailings has 164.19 mg/kg - 383.21 mg/kg in total concentration. Stabilization/solidification (S/S) is one of the remediation technologies to reduce waste pollution. Portland cement is one of the additive materials in S/S that effective encapsulates heavy metal waste. The aim of this research is to know the optimum composition of tailings mixture with Portland cement in S/S process. This research used variation of tailings composition. Variation of Portland cement composition with tailing are 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 20:80 and 10:90. The result of this study found that the optimum composition of Portland cement: tailings was 10:90, with compression test of $257ton/m^2$ and TCLP test was 0.0069 mg/L. The compression test results were in accordance to US EPA Standard quality of $35ton/m^2$. TCLP test results meet the standard of Indonesian Government Regulation No. 101 Year 2014 of 0.05 mg/L.

Paper packaging materials are essential in protection and transportation of commercial or industrial products. Raw materials for packaging paper production are mainly obtained from various grades of waste paper. For this reason, the recycled fibers from waste paper would probably have possibility of containing heavy metals. This study was focused on the development of optimum pre-treatment method for the quantitative analysis of mercury. The optimum pre-treatment for open digestion system were obtained at the treatment conditions of acid combination with $HNO_3/HCl/H_2O_2$ or $HNO_3/H_2SO_4$ at $80^{\circ}C$. The optimum pre-treatment conditions in closed digestion system were determinated by the acid combination with $HNO_3/HCl/H_2O_2/HF$ in microwave at 320 W for 20 min. The recovery rate in open digestion system was 85~94% and in closed digestion system was indicated as about 100%. Therefore, the closed system is superior than the open system in pre-treatment method for the quantitative analysis of mercury, and the detected mercury contents in the sample of KOCC, AOCC and kraft sack paper were measured below 1 ppm.

안료 페인트 생산 업체 7개를 방문하여 제품 21개(안료 17개, 페인트 4개)를 시료채취 하였으며, 대형 온라인 판매상을 통하여 50개 제품을 구매하였다. 총 71개 제품에 대하여 EPA 7473 방법으로 수은 함량분석을 하였고, 물질흐름 분석을 위한 폐기물 내 수은함량은 타 연구(2010)의 안료 페인트 제조 업체에서 발생되는 분진 슬러지 폐페인트 38건의 수은 함량 자료를 사용하였다. 물질흐름분석은 제품 또는 특정 화학물질을 대상으로 하는 Micro 수준의 물질흐름 추적방식을 이용하여 흐름도를 작성하였다. 수은분석 결과, 71개 제품에서 0~0.25 mg-Hg/kg, 38개 폐기물에서 0.23~0.69 mg-Hg/kg으로 나타났다. 물질흐름을 살펴보면 유통단계의 수은흐름량이 연간 10.06 kg인데 반해 폐기되는 수은의 양은 25.27 kg으로 유통량 보다 폐기량이 더 높게 나타났다. 이는 제품과 폐기물의 시료채취 시기가 달라 발생된 현상으로 제품은 2014년도 제품, 폐기물은 2010년 분석된 자료를 사용하여 RoHS 등과 같은 규제의 영향으로 수은 함유 페인트 제품이 감소됨에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 현재 생산되는 제품 중 수은의 농도는 매우 낮고 페인트에 의한 수은의 유출은 미미한 것으로 판단된다.

We have closely examined the concentration change characteristics, emission amounts, and the material balance of hazardous air pollutants at both early and later stages of the prevention facilities. These results will be uses as the basic data when preparing for the regulatory and management plans for hazardous air pollutants. The results of the study on heavy metals illustrated that the content of heavy metals in sludge across five facilities were as follows: copper> zinc> chrome> nickel> cadmium> mercury. In terms of heavy metal content in swage sludge, the sludge in incinerating facilities other than the sludge in the D incinerating facility containing industrial water waste, was examined in order to satisfy the ocean contamination standard and fertilizer specifications. Most of the items were shown to have satisfied the emission tolerance standards in the latter part of the prevention facilities(The average elimination rate was over 90%). Therefore, it is concluded that swage sludge containing high-concentrate heavy metals needs to be incinerated rather than recycled as fertilizer.

Global climate change, followed by an increase in anthropogenic activities in aquatic ecosystems, and species invasions, has resulted in a decline in aquatic organism biodiversity. The Batanghari River, Sumatra's longest river, is polluted by mercury-containing illegal gold mining waste (PETI), industrial pollution, and domestic waste. Several studies have provided evidence suggesting a decline in fish biodiversity within the Batanghari River. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the present status of biodiversity in this river is currently lacking. The species under investigation were identified through various molecular-based identification methods, as well as morphological identification, which involved the use of neighbor-joining (NJ) trees. All collected specimens were initially identified using morphological techniques and subsequently confirmed with molecular barcoding analysis. Morphological and DNA barcoding identification categorized all specimens (1,692) into 36 species, 30 genera and 16 families, representing five orders. A total of 36 DNA barcodes were generated from 30 genera using a 650-bp-long fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Based on the Kimura two-parameter model (K2P), The minimum and maximum genetic divergences based on K2P distance were 0.003 and 0.331, respectively, and the average genetic divergence within genera, families, and orders was 0.05, 0.12, 0.16 respectively. In addition, the average interspecific distance was approximately 2.17 times higher than the mean intraspecific distance. Our results showed that the COI barcode enabled accurate fish species identification in the Batanghari River. Furthermore, the present work will establish a comprehensive DNA barcode library for freshwater fishes along Batanghari River and be significantly useful in future efforts to monitor, conserve, and manage fisheries in Indonesia.
