An Experimental study was carried out to develop a simple method of processing copper waste sludge which is produced by PBC manufacturing. The procedure is based on leaching of wet sludge in 2N H$_2$SO$_4$, and the solid / liquid ratio is controlled approximately at 1/10. The recovery of copper is 85.4%, and pH of the leachate is 3.20. Adding ammonia solution into leachate forms ammine, and hydroxide compounds derived from other impurities in leachate at pH 10. The hydroxide compound can be treated by ferrite process, and the product is a stable oxide compound. Then the ammine solution is heated to evaporate ammonia, and the copper hydroxide is formed. Heating at 8$0^{\circ}C$by aeration, copper hydroxide is transformed into copper oxide with a purity of 98.4%. This process can recover most copper from sludge and the residue can be stabilized by the formation of a stable oxide compound which is not hazardous to environment.

Heavy metals recovery from Printed Circuit Boards industrial wastewater is crucial because of its cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness. In this study, a copper recovery route combining the sequential processes of acid leaching and LIX 984N extracting with an electrowinning technique from Printed Circuit Boards production's sludge was performed. The used residual sludge was originated from Hanoi Urban Environment One Member Limited Company (URENCO). The extracted solution from the printed circuit boards waste sludge containing a high copper concentration of 19.2 g/L and a small amount of iron (0.575 ppm) was used as electrolyte for the subsequent electrolysis process. By using a simulation model for multi-step current electrolysis, the reasonable current densities for an electrolysis time interval of 30 minutes were determined, to optimize the specific consumption energy for the copper recovery. The mathematical simulation model was built to calculate the important parameters of this process.

본 연구에서는 동 함유 슬러지로부터 회수된 동 조금속을 황산구리 전해액에서 전해정련 공정 조건을 선택적으로 조절함에 따라 초미세 분말 형태의 동을 회수하고자 하였다. 황산구리 전해액 농도, 인가전류밀도, 첨가제 종류 및 농도에 따라 LSV(Linear Sweep Voltammetry)을 이용하여 초미세 분말 제조가 가능한 인가전류밀도 범위를 설정하여 전해정련 공정을 수행 하였다. 이 때 얻어진 분말에 대해 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) 및 PSA(Particle Size Analyzer)를 사용하여 동 분말 형상 및 크기를 분석하였다. 유기첨가제를 사용하지 않은 0.1 ~ 0.4 M 황산구리 전해액 조건에서 동 분말 크기는 인가전류밀도가 한계전류밀도에 가까울수록 감소하였고, 0.2 ~ 0.3 M 황산구리 전해액에서 동 분말 크기가 가장 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 위 실험을 통해 얻은 공정 조건을 바탕으로 유기 첨가제 종류 및 농도를 달리 첨가하여 동 분말 표면 형상 및 크기를 분석하였을 때, Cellulose계 첨가제 2,000 ppm 조건에서 가장 작은 크기(nm급)의 양호한 구형 형태 동 분말을 얻을 수 있었다.

인쇄회로기판(PCB) 제조 공정 중 발생된 슬러지로부터 구리성분을 건식제련방법으로 회수하기 위해서 슬러지를 원료로 한 펠렛화 연구를 진행하였다. 슬러지 펠렛화를 위해 건조, 해쇄, 입도분급의 전처리 실시하였고, 혼합 및 압축장치를 포함한 펠렛화 기기를 개발하였다. 제조된 펠렛의 물리적 특성평가는, 슬러지 입도, 펠렛화 압축 횟수를 변화시키면서 비파괴 낙하횟수, 압축강도를 측정하였다. #140 mesh over의 입자를 제거한 경우, 펠렛의 특성은 0.6 MPa, 9.3회로 향상되었으며, 여기에 #325 under 입자를 한번 더 제거한 경우 0.82 MPa, 19.0회로 더욱 더 향상되었다. 이는 조립자의 경우, 충진밀도를 감소시키고, 미립자의 경우 성형에 요구되는 점결제의 투입량을 증가시키기 때문에 나타난 결과로 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.

Monitoring and assessing aquatic ecosystems using the behavior of organisms is essential for sustainable ecosystem management. Oligochaetes, which inhabit various freshwater ecosystems, are frequently used to evaluate the environmental conditions of freshwater ecosystems. Tubifex tubifex (Müller, 1774) (Oligochaeta, Tubificidae) is tolerant to organic pollution and has been used to evaluate the toxicity of toxicants, including heavy metals. We studied the behavioral responses of T. tubifex to three different copper concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg L^-1). The specimens were exposed to copper in an observation cage containing 150 mL of dechlorinated water. Movement behavior (diameter, speed, acceleration, meander, and turning rate) was continuously observed for two hours before and after the copper treatments. After the treatments, the diameter shrank and showed rapid twisting movement under all the copper conditions. The turning rate had a positive correlation with meander and acceleration both before and after treatment at all three concentrations, whereas speed and meander had a negative correlation. Length and turning rate also showed a negative correlation. The correlation coefficient between speed and acceleration in the highest copper concentration changed from positive before treatment (r=0.64) to negative (r= -0.52) after treatment. Our results present the possibility of using behavioral parameters to detect copper contamination in freshwater ecosystems.

Processing and smelting of copper containing sulphide concentrates result in the accumulation of impurities into various process streams. All primary copper smelters and refineries around the world produce significant amounts of slag, dust, sludge, residues and others, which contain copper and precious metals. The recovery of these valuable metals is essential to the overall economics of the smelting process. Physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of particular slag and Cottrell dusts from primary smelters and $Dor\'{e}$ furnace (TBRC) slag and Pressure Leached Anode slimes from a copper refinery have been carried out to understand the basic behind the recovery processes. Various process options have been evaluated and adapted for the treatment of slag from different smelting furnaces and Cottrell dusts as well as the intermediate products from copper refineries. Besides the hydro- or pyro-metallurgical treatments, the above mentioned physical separation options such as magnetic, gravity separation, flotation and precipitation flotation processes have been successfully identified and adapted as the possible process options to produce a Cu-rich or precious metal-rich concentrates for in-house recycling and other valued by-product for further treatment. The results of laboratory, pilot plant and production operations are presented, and incorporation of several alternative flowsheet is discussed in this paper.

Microstructural analyses of synthetic arsenic-containing heavy metal sludges solidified with Portland cement were performed. Heavy metal sludges containing 0.04M of cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, and arsenic were prepared by sodium hydroxide precipitation and successive vacuum filtration. The sludges mixed with cement were cured for 14 days. The solidified sample was characterized by 1) leaching test, 2) scanning electron microscopy and 3) X-ray diffractometry. Of the metals tested, only Pb concentration in the leachate exceeded the Korean regulatory limit. The level of lead in the leachate was as high as 10 times the regulatory limit. X-ray analysis suggested that the metal hydroxides might be present in complex or impure crystalline phases.
