유한자원의 순환활용과 환경보전 관점에서 도시광석으로부터 산업원료로 재사용될 수 있는 금, 은, 팔라듐 및 구리, 주석, 니켈, 코발트, 리튬 등 유용금속의 회수는 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 도시광석으로부터 유용금속을 회수하기 위한 많은 공정이 개발되었으며, 그 중 일부는 상업적으로 가동되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 문헌을 통하여 조사된 도시광석으로부터 산업원료로 사용되는 유용금속을 재생하기 위하여 개발된 중요한 건식공정들을 간략히 소개하고자 한다.

The Dongjung Au-Ag-Cu mine area was seriously contaminated with As and heavy metals-Cd, Cu, Hg, Mn, Pb and Zn etc. Those elements were highly accumulated in plants grown at farmland as well as farmland soil. Stream waters and groundwater which has been used as drinking water around the mine site contain high levels of heavy metals, especially As. As a result of human health risk assessment using EHS(Extraction of Heavy metals in Stomach and Small intestine) test for bioaccessible contents of heavy metals, there is a potential of cancer and adverse effects on human health for the residents of the mine area.

In order to assess the risk of adverse health effects on human exposure to arsenic and heavy metals influenced by past mining activities, environmental geochemical surveys were undertaken in the abandoned metal mine areas (Dongil Au-Ag-Cu-Zn, Okdong Cu-Pb-Zn, Songcheon Au-Ag, Dongjung Au-Ag-Pb-Zn, Dokok Au-Ag-Cu and Hwacheon Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mines). Arsenic and other heavy metals were highly elevated in the tailings from the Dongil, the Songcheon and the Dongjung mines. High concentrations of heavy metals except As were also found in tailings from the Okdong, the Dokok and the Hwacheon mines. These significant concentrations can impact on soils and waters around the tailing dumps. Risk compounds deriving from mine sites either constitute a toxic risk or a carcinogenic risk. The hazard index (H.I.) of As in the Dongil, the Okdong, the Songcheon and the Hwacheon mine areas was higher value more than 1.0. In the Okdong and the Songcheon mine areas, H.I. value of Cd exceeded 1.0. These values of As and Cd were the highest in the Songcheon mine area. Therefore, toxic risks for As and Cd exist via exposure (ingestion) of contaminated soil, groundwater and rice grain in these mine areas. The cancer risk for As in stream or ground water used for drinking water from the Songcheon, the Dongil, the Okdong, the Dongjung and the Hwacheon mine areas was 3E-3, 8E-4, 7E-4, 2E-4 and 1E-4, respectively.

GIS(Geographic Information System; 지리정보시스템)를 이용한 폐광지역의 지반침하 분석에 있어 효율적인 데이터베이스 구축 및 DBMS(Database Management System; 데이터베이스 관리시스템)의 이용이 요구된다. 이를 위해 폐광지역의 지반침하 분석에 있어 효율적인 분석이 가능하도록 그에 적합한 데이터 구조와 분석방법을 모색하였다. 지반침하 관리시 요구되는 갱도위치, 지하수위, 침하 실측치, 침하 균열 등과 같은 공간 정보에 대한 적합한 모델을 설정하고 데이터베이스를 구축하였다.

Mine waters, surface waters and groundwaters were sampled around seven Au-Ag mine areas (Dongil, Okdong, Dongjung, Songcheon, Ssangjeon, Dogok and Gubong Au-Ag mines). The main contamination sources of As in these abandoned Au-Ag mines can be suggested as mine tailings and waste rocks including the sulfide gangue minerals (arsenopyrite). The relatively high concentration of As in mine waters was shown in the Dongil (524 ${\mu}g/L$) and the Dogok (56 ${\mu}g/L$) mine areas. Arsenic concentrations in stream waters from the Dongil ($0.9\~118{\mu}g/L$), the Songchon ($0.8\~63{\mu}g/L$), the Ssangjeon ($1.6\~109{\mu}g/L$) and the Gubong ($3.6\~63{\mu}g/L$) mine areas exceeded the permissible level for stream water in Korea. Groundwaters collected from the Dongil ($0.9\~64{\mu}g/L$ ), the Okdong ($0.2\~69{\mu}g/L$) and the Gubong ($0.5\~101{\mu}g/L$) mine areas contained high As concentration to cause the arsenicosis in these areas. In As speciation, the concentration ratios of As(III) to As(total) present up to $75\%$ and $100\%$ in stream waters from the Okdong and the Songcheon mines, and $70\%$ in groundwaters from the Okdong and the Dongjung mines. Arsenic concentration decreases downstream from the tailing dump correlatively with pH and Fe concentration. Highly elevated As concentrations are found in the dry season (such as April and March) than in the wet season (September) due to the dilution effect by heavy rain during summer in stream waters from the Dongil and the Songcheon mine areas.

전세계적으로 시안화법은 일차 광물 혹은 정광으로부터 금을 회수하기 위해 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 이 공정에서 발생하는 다량의 유독한 잔사 및 시안 함유 폐액은 주변 환경 및 생태계에 심각한 문제를 야기할 수 있어 그 사용에 대해 문제가 제기되어 왔으므로 시안화법 이용 시 반드시 시안 함유 폐액의 적절한 처리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 금광으로부터 금을 회수하기 위한 습식제련공정인 시안화법과 연계하여 시안 처리 공정을 설계하기 위한 기초연구로서 금 제련에 사용되는 시안화합물의 사용, 규제 및 처리 기술의 국내외 현황을 분석하였다. 또한 무배출 금 회수 및 처리 공정을 설계하기 위한 생물학적 공정에 대하여 소개하였다.

In order to investigate the level of heavy metal contamination and the seasonal variation of metal concentrations in soils and sediments influenced by past mining activities, tailings, soil and sediment samples were collected from the Hwacheon mine in Korea. The main pollution sources in this mine site are suggested as tailings and mine waste rocks. Elevated levels of Cd, Pb and Zn were found in soils and sediments. In a study of seasonal variation on the heavy metals in soils and sediments, heavy metals were higher enriched collected from before rainy season ($2^{nd}$ sampling) than after rainy season ($1^{st}$ sampling). Also, in order to estimate the microbial effects on Cd speciation in sediments, bacteria which can adsorb Cd was isolated and Cd adsorption characteristics of isolated bacteria in Cd solution was evaluated. The Cd bioremoval efficiency in Cd solution (5 ppm) by bacteria was more than $90\%$. Bioremoval efficiency in single metal solution was higher than that in mixed metal solution of Pb and Zn.

The objective of this study is to investigate the contamination levels and dispersion patterns of arsenic and heavy metals and to estimate the bioaccessible fraction of the metals in soil and plant samples in the vicinity of the abandoned Songcheon Au-Ag mine. Tailings, soils, plants (Chinese cabbage, red pepper, soybean, radish, sesame leaves, green onion, lettuce, potato leaves, angelica and groundsel) and waters were collected around the mine site. After appropriate preparation, all samples were analyzed for As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn by ICP-AES and ICP-MS. Elevated levels of As and heavy metals were found in tailings. Mean concentrations of As in agricultural soils were higher than the permissible level. Especially, maximum level of As in farmland soil was 513 mg/kg. The highest concentrations of As and Zn were found in Chinese cabbage (6.7 mg/kg and 359 mg/kg, respectively). Concentrations of As, Cd, and Zn in most stream waters which are used for drinking water around this mine area were higher than the permissible levels regulated in Korea. Maximum levels of As, Cd and Zn in stream waters were 0.78 mg/L, 0.19 mg/L and 5.4 mg/L, respectively. These results indicate that mine tailings can be the main contamination sources of As and heavy metals in the soil-water system in the mine area. The average of estimated bioaccessible fraction of As in farmland soils were $3.7\%$ (in simulated stomach) and $10.8\%$ (in simulated small intestine). The highest value of bioaccessible fraction of metal in farmland soils was $46.5\%$ for Cd.

도시광산(사용후제품) 재자원화의 필요성과 배경을 설명하기 위하여, 자원고갈, 금속지원의 소비, 환경오염 그리고 금속재자원화 산업 등을 논하였다. 지속가능한 사회를 개발하기 위해서는 폐기물처리와 리싸이클링이 가장 중요한 과제이고, 특히 도시광산을 재자원화하는 것이 자원고갈을 지연시키고, 환경오염을 감소시키는 첩경임을 잘 알고 있다. 그러기 위해서는 도시광산지원의 재자원화 제도의 구축과 고도의 재자원화 기술개발이 시급한 과제라고 할 수 있다.

ELV 및 E-waste의 재자원화기술은 일본과 한국이 대동소이하나 일본과 비교해서 한국이 개선해야할 몇 가지 과제(개선책)를 지니고 있다. ELV에 있어서는 잠재성 오염물질(프레온가스, 에어백, ASR)의 처리가 불충분하다. ASR 70% 이상의 리싸이클링 없이는 ELV 재활용율 95% 달성은 불가능하다. E-waste에 있어서는 리싸이클링 산업체간의 심한 기술수준 격차를 평균화해야 한다. 또 투명한 유통경로와 리싸이클링 처리량의 향상을 위한 처리시스템이 구축되어야 한다. 일본의 정부 주도 리싸이클링 대형프로젝트는 좁은 분야로 집중되어 있고, 산업체의 참여비중이 높다.
