지구온난화가 국제 문제로 언급되면서 온실가스 저감에 관한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 지구온난화의 가속화를 막기 위해 지구온난화의 주된 원인으로 언급되는 이산화탄소 저감에 관한 기술 개발의 중요성이 증가하게 되었고 이로 인해 이산화탄소 포집, 저장 및 재이용기술(CCUS, Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage)의 발전을 요구하고 있다. 다양한 이산화탄소 포집, 저장 및 재이용기술 중에서 광물탄산화 기술의 경우에는 적은 에너지를 통해 많은 이산화탄소를 고부가가치 물질로 전환할 수 있다. 기존 연구에서는 고형 폐기물에서 이온을 용출해 사용해왔으며 이는 처리 과정이 복잡하다. 하지만 해수를 사용하게 되면 고농도의 금속 양이온이 해수 속에 용해되어 있어 고형 폐기물을 이용할 때보다 공정이 단순하다. 이 연구는 해수담수화 농축수를 금속양이온공급원으로써 사용하기 위한 기초연구로, 3 M 모노에탄올아민(Monoethanolamine, MEA)을 흡수제로 사용하여 이산화탄소를 우선적으로 포집하였다. 또한 해수농축수를 모사하기 위해, 해수모사파우더를 사용하여 다양한 농도의 해수농축수를 제조하였다. 해수농축수와 포집된 이산화탄소 용액을 반응시켜 탄산염을 생성하였으며 이를 XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), TGA (Thermalgravimetric Analysis)를 통해 탄산염의 생성 경향 및 흡수제의 재이용 가능성을 파악하였다.

Causticizing calcium carbonate (CCC) is produced as a by-product in the causticization step of the kraft pulping process. It is often calcined in a rotary lime kiln after being dewatered and reused in the causticizing process. But for the China mill, the conventional recycled way is difficult because the CCC is mainly obtained from non-wood pulping materials, which higher silicon content led to serious silicon obstacle. So it is often discarded as solid waste or used in landfill after dewatering and secondary pollution is brought. In order to prevent its secondary pollution, recent years, the CCC is used as a filler in China papermaking industry. In mill trials, the CCC can be used to replace an amount of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Unfortunately, the application scope and dosage of CCC have been limited due to its lower sizing efficiency than PCC. In this study, the reason for the lower sizing efficiency of alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) when CCC was used as a filler was investigated. The results showed that the materials in green liquid, such as insoluble matter in green liquid, silicon and metal ions, were a little influence on the sizing efficiency of AKD. The higher BET and BJH pore volume of the CCC were the main reason for lower sizing efficiency of AKD when it was used as filler.

Remediation actions in uncontrolled landfill site should be conducted after the investigation of contamination status and potential health risk or damage. Based on the above, proper control measures should be established and operated. Also continuous monitoring should be followed. In this study, the status of ground water contamination around Nanji Landfill Site was investigated. Monitoring wells were installed around the landfill and ground water was sampled once a month and analyzed. Water quality of each monitoring well was different depending on the horizontal and vertical distance from the landfill, and the seasonal leachate characteristics were not significantly changed because percolating water stayed long time in the deep waste layer. It was predicted that major multivalent cations were mainly precipitated as metal carbonate form, and chemical mass balances (CMBs) could be applied for the apportionment of leachate contamination to ground water quality of surrounding areas of Nanji Landfill. Parameters required to estimate pollutant flux to the receptor near landfill were listed and discussion to get these parameters was made. Finally, based on the above data, control measures of ground water contamination were suggested and discussed.

소석회$(Ca(OH)_2)$사 탄산칼슘$(CaCO_3)$을 응집제로 이용한 화학적 응집/침전법으로 지하수로부터 중금속을 제거하는 실내실험을 실시하였다. 비소(As), 카드뮴(Cd), 망간(Mn), 납(Pb), 아연(Zn)으로 오염시킨 인공오염수로부터 중금속을 제거하는 배치 실험 결과, 소석회를 이용한 경우, As과 Mn의 제거 효율은 $0.3\;wt.\%$소석회 첨가만으로 $90\%$ 이상을 나타내었으며, Cd와 Zn의 경우 $0.5\;wt.\%$ 첨가 시 약 $75-85\%$온의 제거 효율을 나타내었다. 탄산칼슘을 첨가한 경우 소석회 첨가에서 제거율이 비교적 낮았던 Pb의 제거율이 매우 높게 나타나 $0.1\;wt.\%$의 첨가만으로 거의 $100\%$를 제거할 수 있었으며, Cd의 제거율도 소석회보다 높게 나타나 $1.0\;wt.\%$ 첨가시 $93\%$이상의 제거율을 나타내었다. 그러나 As, U, Zn의 제거율은 약 30- $50\%$정도로 낮게 나타났다. 대형 칼럼 반응조를 이용한 중금속 제거 실험에서는, 응집제를 오염지하수에 첨가한 후 응집제의 확산 유도와 응집제와 응집할 입자간의 접촉을 위해 급속 교반하였으며, 교반으로 인해 성장된 플럭(floc)의 침전을 유도하여 상등액과 침전입자를 분리함으로써 오염지하수로부터 중금속을 제거하였다. 소석회를 첨가한 칼럼실험의 경우, 앞서의 배치실험 결과와 같이 As는 $1wt.\%$의 소석회 첨가에 의해서 침전 30분 이후에 $99\%$이상의 제거 효율을 나타내었다. Cd, Mn, Zn도 $80-85\%$의 제거효과를 나타내어 높은 제거 효율을 나타내었으나, Pb의 제거 효율은 배치 실험의 결과와 같이 낮아 약 $40\%$내외를 유지하였다. 소석회 침전 슬러지를 재활용하여 중금속 제거 실험을 반복 실시한 결과도 As, Mn, Cd에 대해서는 침전 슬러지 재활용 2회까지 평균 $90\%$이상의 높은 제거율을 나타내었으며, Zn에 대해서는 $70\%$내외의 제거율을 나타내었다. 탄산칼슘을 이용한 칼럼실험에서는 Cd와 Pb의 경우 제거 효율이 높아, 침전 후 30분 이내 에 $95\%$이상이 제거되었다. Zn은 $57\%$의 제거율을 나타내었으며, As와 Mn은 제거율이 낮아 약 $40\%$정도가 제거되었다. Fe와 Mn의 농도가 매우 높은 울산지역의 실제 매립장의 오염지하수를 대상으로 $1wt.\%$의 소석회를 이용한 칼럼실험 결과, 두 원소 모두 $96\%$이상의 제거율을 나타내어 소석회를 이용한 응집/침전법의 중금속 오염지하수 정화 효율이 매우 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다

Fine suspended solids from coal mine drainage were treated in the treating plant, using two different pilot-scale inclined clarifiers: radial and lamella types. Suspended solids in the mine drainage were monitored along with other geochemical factors, and metal contents. Fe and Mn are the main chemical components in the drainage, which exist predominantly as total metal forms, whereas dissolved portion is negligible. The raw mine drainage is subject to physical and chemical treatment using $CaCO_3$ and NaOH, therefore the suspended solids are thought to be composed of Fe and Mn precipitates, possibly $Fe(OH)_3$, along with carbonate precipitates. The elemental composition of precipitates are confirmed by SEM-EDS analysis. As nearly all the dissolved ions were precipitated in the primary process by $CaCO_3$, no further aeration or prolonged oxygenation are of necessity in this plant. Adoption of inclined clarifier proved to be effective in treating fine suspended solids in the current plant. Successful application of the inclined clarifier will also be beneficial to improve the current treating process by excluding the current application of chemical agent in the first stage. The final effluents from the pilot plant meet the national standards and the low dissolved Fe and Mn contents are expected not to cause secondary precipitation after discharge.

The geology of the Bupyeong mine area is consisted of Precambrian Gyeonggi gneiss complex and Mesozoic igneous rocks; i.e., pyroclastic rocks, intrusive breccia, granite and felsic porphyries which were formed during a Jurassic to early Cretaceous resurgent caldera evolution. Granites are not observed on the surface and in the underground of the mine. Bupyeong silver deposits occur as stockworks of base metal sulfides- minor silver minerals-quartz - carbonate veinlets, hosted by pyroclastic rocks and intrusive breccia at the southwestern margin of the caldera. Silver occurs mainly as native silver, and other silver minerals, minor in quantity, are argentite, tetrahedrite-freibergite, pyrargyrite, polybasite, canfieldite and dyscrasite. The average grade of silver ore is about 180g/t Ag. Discrimination of silver ore from the country rocks depends largely on the chemical analyses of rock samples taken every two meters from tunnels, diamond-drilling cores and mining stopes, because silver minerals are hardly observed in the ore by crude eye, and silver orebodies do not properly coincide with the concentrated zone of base metal sulfides which were precipitated at the earlier stage than the stage of precipitation of native silver. General characteristics of the loci of the silver orebodies are as follows; (1) The host rocks of orebodies are pyroclastic rocks and intrusive breccia. (2) Many of the orebodies are distributed around Gyeonggi gneiss complex. Especially where the paleotopography of gneiss complex shows a gradual slope, the basal stratigraphic horizon of the pyroclastic rocks unconformably overlying the gneiss complex offered a favorable loci of high grade ore. (3) $N5^{\circ}W$ to $N15^{\circ}$ E-striking faults played an important role in the localization of the orebodies. (4) Conduits of intrusive breccia within the gneiss complex, through which the intrusive breccia intruded into the upper pyroclastic rocks, exist beneath most of the main orebodies. This suggests that the conduits of intrusive breccia served as channelways for the migration of ore fluids.

In the South Korea, 47% of abandoned mines are suffering from the mining hazards such as the mine drainage (MD), the mine tailings and the waste rocks. Among them the mine drainage which has a low pH and the high concentration of heavy metals can directly contaminate rivers or soil and cause serious damages to human health. The natural/artificial treatment facilities by using neutralizers and coagulants for the mine drainage have been operated in domestic and most of heavy metals in mind drainage are precipitated and removed in the form of metal hydroxide, alumino-silicate or carbonate, generating a large amount of mine drainage treated sludge ('MDS' hereafter) by-product. The MDS has a large surface area and many functional groups, showing high efficiency on the fixation of heavy metals. The purpose of this study is to develop a ingenious heavy metal stabilizer that can effectively stabilize arsenic (As) and heavy metals in soil by recycling the MDS (two types of MDS: the acid mine drainage treated sludge (MMDS) and the coal mine drainage treated sludge (CMDS)). Various analyses, toxicity evaluations, and leaching reduction batch experiments were performed to identify the characteristics of MDS as the stabilizer for soils contaminated with As and heavy metals. As a result of batch experiments, the Pb stabilization efficiency of both of MDSs for soil A was higher than 90% and their Zn stabilization efficiencies were higher than 70%. In the case of soil B and C, which were contaminated with As, their As stabilization efficiencies were higher than 80%. Experimental results suggested that both of MDSs could be successfully applied for the As and heavy metal contaminated soil as the soil stabilizer, because of their low unit price and high stabilization efficiency for As and hevry metals.

본 연구는 해양구조물로 재활용되는 제강 슬래그의 납, 구리, 카드뮴과 수은의 용출특성을 평가하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 고형폐기물의 용출규제 시험, 액고비 변화시험, pH 고정시험과 같은 다양한 용출시험을 하였다. 용출용매로 증류수를 이용한 경우와 해수를 이용한 경우의 pH 고정시험 결과, 제강슬래그에서 용출된 납, 구리, 카드뮴은 뚜렷한 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 용출용매로 증류수 사용시, pH 7-8 구간과 pH 11-12 구간에서 낮은 용출을 보였지만, 해수를 용출용매로 사용한 경우는, 증류수를 용매로 사용한 것 보다 높게 용출되었다. 수은 용출의 경우는 증류수를 용출용매로 이용한 것보다 해수를 이용한 경우에서 더 낮게 용출되었다. 한편, 제강 슬래그에서 용출되는 납, 구리, 카드뮴의 용존 및 침전 상태의 파악과 중금속 화합물들의 파악을 위하여 지화학 평형 프로그램인 Visual minteq를 사용하였다. 해수와 반응한 제강 슬래그에서 용출된 납, 구리는 pH 11-12 구간에서 대부분 용존되지만 pH가 감소되는 pH 7-10에서는 90% 이상만이 침전하였고, 카드뮴의 경우는 100% 용존상태로 존재하였다. 증류수와 반응한 제강 슬래그에서 용출된 납은 해수의 경우도 유사하였고, 구리와 카드뮴은 100% 용존상태로 존재하였다. 해수 내의 $Cl^-,\;CO_3^{-2},\;SO_4^{-2}$와 결합한 납화합물은 $PbCl^+,\;PbSO_4$로 이루어졌으며, 구리화합물은 $CuSO_4,\;CuCO_3$, 카드뮴화합물은 $CdCl^+,\;CdSO_4$ 등이 형성되었다. 수은의 경우는 해수 및 증류수를 용출용매로 이용한 모든 경우에서 납, 구리, 카드뮴과는 달리 대부분 침전하였다. 더욱이 해수에 존재하는 고농도 염소($Cl^-$)와의 수착으로 인해 finite solid인 calomel($Hg_2Cl_2$)이 형성되어 대부분 침전(SI=0)되기 때문에 납, 구리, 카드뮴 보다 더 낮은 환경이동성을 갖을 것으로 사료된다. 상기 실험결과 용출용매로 증류수와 해수를 이용했을 때, 제강 슬래그에서 용출되는 납, 구리, 카드뮴, 수은의 용출 경향의 차이를 확인할 수 있었고 이에 따라서, 납, 구리, 카드뮴의 용출 유해성은 낮기 때문에 해양구조물로의 제강슬래그 유효이용은 적합할 것으로 판단되었다.

The seasonal changes in pH, Fe, Al and SO$_4$$\^$2-/ contents of acid drainage released from coal mine dumps play a major role in precipitation of metal hydroxides in the Taebaek coal field area, southeastern Korea. Precipitates in the creeks underwent a cycle of the color change showing white, reddish brown and brownish yellow, which depends on geochemical factors of the creek waters. White precipitates consist of Al-sulfate (basaluminite and hydrobasaluminite) and reddish brown ones are composed of ferrihydrite and brownish yellow ones are of schwertmannite. Goethite coprecipitates with ferrihydrite and schwertmannite. Ferrihydrite formed at higher values than pH 5.3 and schwertmannite precipitated below pH 4.3, and goethite formed at the intermediate pH range between the two minerals. With the pH being increased from acid to intermediate regions, Fe is present both as schwertmannite and goethite. From the present observation, the most favorable pH that basauluminte can precipitate is in the range of pH 4.45-5.95. SEM examination of precipitates at stream bottom shows that they basically consist of agglomerates of spheroid and rod-shape bacteria. Bacteria species are remarkably different among bottom precipitates and, to a less extent, there are slightly different chemical compositions even within the same bacteria. The speciation and calculation of the mineral saturation index were made using MINTEQA2. In waters associated with yellowish brown precipitates mainly composed of schwertmannite, So$_4$ species is mostly free So$_4$$\^$2-/ ion with less AlSo$_4$$\^$+/, CaSo$\sub$(aq)/, and MgSo$\sub$4(aq)/. Ferrous iron is present mostly as free Fe$\^$2+/, and FeSo$\sub$4(aq)/ and ferric iron exists predominantly as Fe(OH)$_2$$\^$+/, with less FeSo$\sub$4(aq)/, Fe(OH)$_2$$\^$-/, FeSo$_4$$\^$-/ and Fe$\^$3+/, respectively Al exists as free Al$\^$3+/, AlOH$_2$$\^$-/, (AlSo$_4$)$\^$+/, and Al(So$_4$)$\^$2-/. Fe is generally saturated with respect to hematite, magnetite, and goethite, with nearly saturation with lepidocrocite. Aluminum and sulfate are supersaturated with respect to predominant alunite and less jubanite, and they approach a saturation state with respect to diaspore, gibbsite, boehmite and gypsum. In the case of waters associated with whitish precipitates mainly composed of basaluminite, Al is present as predominant Al$\^$3+/ and Al(SO$_4$)$\^$+/, with less Al(OH)$\^$2+/, Al(OH)$_2$$\^$+/ and Al(SO$_4$)$\^$2-/. According to calculation for the mineral saturation, aluminum and sulfate are greatly supersaturated with respect to basaluminite and alunite. Diaspore is flirty well supersaturated while jubanite, gibbsite, and boehmite are already supersaturated, and gypsum approaches its saturation state. The observation that the only mineral phase we can easily detect in the whitish precipitate is basaluminite suggests that growth rate of alunite is much slower than that of basaluminite. Neutralization of acid mine drainage due to the dilution caused by the dilution effect due to mixing of unpolluted waters prevails over the buffering effect by the dissolution of carbonate or aluminosilicates. The main factors to affect color change are variations in aqueous geochemistry, which are controlled by dilution effect due to rainfall, water mixng from adjacent creeks, and the extent to which water-rock interaction takes place with seasons. pH, Fe, Al and SO$_4$ contents of the creek water are the most important factors leading to color changes in the precipitates. A geochemical cycle showing color variations in the precipitates provides the potential control on acid mine drainage and can be applied as a reclamation tool in a temperate region with four seasons.
