This study assessed the feasibility of iron oxide nanoparticles impregnated with biochar (INPBC), derived from woody biomass, as a stabilizing agent for the stabilization of farmland soil in the vicinity of an abandoned mine through pot experiments with 28 days of lettuce growth. The lettuce grown in the INPBC amended soils increased by more than 100% and the concentrations of inorganic elements (Cu, Ni, Zn) decreased by more than 40%. As, Cd and Pb were not transferred properly from the soils to the lettuce biomass. The bioavailability of arsenic and heavy metals in the INPBC amended soils were decreased by 26%~50%. It seems that the major mechanisms of stabilization were arsenic adsorption on iron oxides, heavy metal precipitation by soil pH increasing and heavy metal adsorption on organic matter. These results revealed that the lower bioavailability of the inorganic pollutants in the soils stabilized using INPBC induced lower transfer to the lettuce. Thus, INPBC could be used as an amendment material for the stabilization of farmland soils contaminated by arsenic and heavy metals. However, a pre-review of the chemical properties of the amended soil must be performed prior to applying INPBC in farmland soil because the concentration of the nutrients in the soil such as available phosphates and exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K) could be decreased due to adsorption on the surface of the iron oxides and organic matter.

광산배수에서 일어나는 철광물의 침전과 상전이는 배수 내 미량 원소의 거동에 매우 중요한 영향을 미친다. 그러나 주로 침전되는 철광물 중 하나인 페리하이드라이트의 침전과 이와 연관된 배수 내 미량원소의 거동은 거의 연구된 적이 없다. 본 연구는 문경 석탄광에서 발생하는 광산배수에서 pH 변화와 시간에 따른 광물침전 특성을 알아보고 이러한 광물의 침전과 연관된 미량원소의 거동 변화를 연구하였다. 침전되는 광물의 경우 pH 4에서는 침철석이 관찰되었고 pH 6 이상에서는 일부 6-line 페리하이드라이트가 혼재하는 2-line 페리하이드라이트가 주로 동정되었다. 또한 pH 6 이상의 시료에서는 pH가 증가할수록 방해석의 침전이 추가적으로 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 침철석의 경우 초기에 배수 내에서 페리하이드라이트로 침전된 후 낮은 pH의 영향으로 이 광물이 짧은 시간 내에 침철석으로 상전이 되었을 것으로 생각된다. 배수 내 미량 원소의 농도는 pH와 시간에 큰 영향을 받고 있음을 보여준다. 시간에 따라 배수 내의 Fe는 철광물의 침전에 의하여 급격한 농도의 감소를 보였는데 배수 내 산화음이온으로 존재하는 As의 경우도 pH 값에 상관없이 Fe와 같이 급격한 농도의 감소를 보였다. 이러한 As의 농도 감소는 주로 페리하이드라이트와의 공침에 의한 것으로 여겨지며 낮은 pH의 배수에서는 침철석의 표면 흡착에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 이와는 달리 Cd, Co, Zn, Ni 등의 미량원소의 농도는 광물의 종류에 상관없이 pH에 큰 영향을 받으며 pH 값이 낮을수록 배수 내 높은 농도로 존재하였고 pH가 증가할수록 그 농도는 낮아졌다. 이러한 결과는 양이온으로 존재하는 미량원소의 거동의 경우 광물의 종류보다 pH에 따른 광물 표면의 전하 값에 더 큰 영향을 받고 있음을 지시한다.

This study investigated the geochemical characteristics of mine drainage discharged from an abandoned coal mine in the Hwasoon area. Surface water samples were collected from 23 locations along the Hancheon creek. The concentration of Zn and Cu in stream waters was highest at low pH (3.53), whereas the content of TDS and TDI was highest at high pH (7.78) due to the concentration of Ca, $HCO_3$ and $SO_4$. At the upstream site, the Ba, Fe, Mn, Zn, and $SO_4$ contents were relatively high but decreased significantly with the distance from the coal mine. On the contrary, the Na and $NO_3$ contents were low at the upstream site but increased downstream. Yellow precipitate material collected in the Hancheon consisted mainly of iron and LOI. This yellow precipitate was heated from 100 to $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. With increasing temperature, the intensity of hematite peaks were sharply produced in X-ray pattern and the absorption band Fe-O of hematite increased in IR due to dehydration and melting. The yellow to brown precipitate and evaporite materials were collected by a air-dry from the acid mine water at the laboratory. After drying, the concentration of ions in the acid water samples increased progressively in oversaturation with respect to either gypsum, ferrohexahydrite or quenstedetite. The X-ray powder diffraction studies identified that the precipitated and evaporated materials after drying were well crystallized gypsum, ferrohexahydrite and quenstedetite. Diagnostic peaks used for identification of gypsum were the 7.65, 4.28, 3.03, 2.87 and 2.48$\AA$ peaks and those for ferrohexahydrite were the 5.46, 5.12, 4.89, 4.44, 4.05, 3.62, 3.46, 3.40, 3.20, 3.03, 2.94, 2.53, 2.28, 2.07, 1.88 and 1.86${\AA} peaks. The IR spectra with OH-stretching, deformation of $H_2O$and ${SO_4}^{2-}$stretching vibration include the existence of gypsum, ferrohexahydrite and quenstedetite in the precipitated and evaporite materials. In the SEM and EDS analysis for the evaporite material, gypsum with well-crystallized, acicular, and columnar form was distinctly observed.

광산배수가 지표에 노출되거나 주변 수계로 유입됨에 따라 나노크기의 철 교질물질이 형성되며, 이러한 철 교질물질은 심미적 오염을 발생시킬 뿐만 아니라 수생태계에도 악영향을 미친다. 이를 제어하기 위해 철 나노물질의 거동특성을 파악하는 것이 매우 중요한데, 아직까지 이에 대한 연구가 미흡하다. 본 연구는 영가철과 자철석을 이용하여 배경용액의 pH와 조성, 그리고 자연유기물에 따른 철 나노물질의 거동특성을 고찰하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 동적광산란분석기를 이용하여 철 나노물질의 입자크기와 표면 제타전위를 측정하였으며, DLVO (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek) 이론에 적용하여 응집 및 분산 등의 거동특성을 비교하였다. 철 나노물질은 영전하점 pH 근처에서는 입자간의 전기적 인력으로 인한 응집이 발생되며, 그보다 pH가 낮거나 높으면 전기적 반발력에 의해 분산이 잘되는 것을 확인하였다. 배경용액 내 양이온이 음이온보다 거동특성에 더 큰 영향을 끼치는 것을 확인하였으며, 특히 1가 양이온보다 2가 양이온이 입자표면간의 전기적인 인력 및 반발력에 더 큰 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수용상의 자연유기물은 철 나노물질을 코팅함으로써 표면을 음전하로 띠게 하여 분산이 잘 되게 하는 것을 확인하였다. 동일한 환경조건에서 자철석보다 영가철이 응집이 더 잘 되는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 영가철의 낮은 안정성과 빠른 반응성으로 인해 철 산화물로 변질되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

충주 광산은 한반도의 대표적인 층상 규제형 (strata-bound type) 철광상의 하나이다. 광산 부근의 지질은 규암 및 편암류로 구성되는 변성 퇴적암 (계명산층)과 후기의 관입 화성암으로 이루어져 있다. 철광층은 주로 변성암의 편리와 조화적 관계를 가지며 층상 또는 렌즈상으로 산출되고 부분적으로 불규칙한 괴상으로 발달되기도 한다. 광상은 산출상태, 구조 및 조직, 구성 광물의 공생특성 등에 의해 호상광석과 괴상광석으로 구분된다. 호상광석 (banded ore)은 적철석, 적철석+자철석, 자철석 및 석영이 우세한 분대 (meso- bands)의 반복에 의한 대상구조가 특정적이다. 괴상광석 (massive ore)은 화강암질 암석의 접촉부를 따라 불규칙한 형태로 산출되며, 대부분이 자철석으로 구성된다. 철산화광물 및 규산염 광물의 입자 크기는 호상광석에서 보다 괴상광석에서 더 조립질을 나타낸다. 호상 및 괴상광석을 구성하는 자철석의 조성은 거의 순수한 $Fe_3O_4$로 구성되지만, Mn의 함량에서 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다 (호상광석; 0.14~0.27 MnO wt.%, 괴상광석; 0.10~0.15 MnO wt.%). 적철석은 Ti 성분이 호상 (0.87~1.27 $TiO_2$ wt.%) 및 괴상 (3.51~6.96 $TiO_2$ wt.%) 광석에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보인다. 광석에 수반되는 흑운모의 화학조성은 호상광석이 괴상광석에서보다 FeO, $TiO_2$ 및 $Al_2O_3$ 값은 낮고, MgO와 $SiO_2$는 높다. 충주 철광상은 퇴적작용 내지 변성작용의 특성을 나타내는 대상 (층상)구조와 괴상조직 및 교대조직등의 다양한 변화과정을 반영하고 있으며, 산출상태, 광석광물의 조성 및 조직적 특성은 괴상광석 형성이 호상 광석보다 더 환원적인 환경 또는 고온의 온도 조건에서 야기되었음을 지시한다. 철광상은 초기 철의 퇴적(공급)작용과 후기의 변성작용에 의해 2차 부화작용에 의해 복합적으로 형성된 것으로 추정된다. 호상광석은 광역변성작용에 의해, 괴상광석은 화강암 관업에 의한 영향으로 사료된다.

The Bupyeong Silver mine which is located approximately 35km west of Seoul is currently the leading silver producer in Korea. The deposits occur as stockwork deposits hosted in Jurassic pyroclastic rocks. Occurrences of ore deposits and mineral paragenesis suggest a division of mineralization into four stages: Stage I, deposition of iron oxide and base metal sulfides; Stage II, deposition of tin oxide and silverm inerals; stage III, deposition of native silver and other silver minerals; Stage IV, formation of pyrite bearing siderite veinlets, Silver minerals in ore are native silver, argentite, freibergite, pyrargyrite, canfieldite, polybasite, dyscrasite and Ag-Fe-S mineral. The most important silver mineral is native silver among them. Chemical composition of important silver minerals were determined by electron probe microanalyser. Assay, size and modal analyses for floatation products were carried out. In floatation products, relative proportion of native silver for total important silver minerals have following ranges: feed, 64.7 to 74.74 wt.%; A-cleaner concentrate, 80.58 to 98.79 wt.%; and final tailing, 28.12 to 72. 57 wt. %. Average degree of liberation for native silver in feed and A-cleaner concentrate are 60.49% and 77.57% respectively. Negative relationship can be recognized between native silver and argentite in their abundance and behavior in floatation precesses.

The Ulsan mine is one of the largest contact metasomatic magnetite and scheelite deposits in the southeastern part of Korea. Mineralization at the Ulsan mine is localized along the contact between upper Cretaceous volcanic rocks and age unknown limestone which were intruded by 58 m.y. -old biotite-horndlende granite. General zonal sequence of skarn toward crystalline limestone from limestone-volcanics contact is grandite, grandite-salite and salite zones. On the otherhand volcanics origin skarns exhibits zonal sequences toward hornfels from boundary with limestone is garnet, garnet-epidote, and epidote zone. Compositions of garnets and clinopyro xenes are determined by the X-ray diffraction and reflective indecies. Local brecciation of these early skarns were followed by formation of the later skarn as zoned patches, breccia fillings and cross-cutting veins. Paragenetic sequence of late skarn minerals which is exhibited in the zoned patches and veins is an overlapping progression with time from andradite through hedenbergite or actinolite, quartz to calcite deposition. Magnetite metallization followed early formed skarns and pyrite pyrrhoite, sphalerite, galena, tennantite, scheelite and arsenopyrite deposition were simultaneously with hedenbergite, quartz and calcite of late skarn. Filling temperatures of fluid inclusions in calcites range from $160^{\circ}$ to $280^{\circ}C$.

The stress path characteristics of surrounding rock in the formation of gob were analysed and the unloading was solved. Taking Chengchao Iron Mine as the engineering background, the model for analysing the instability of deep gob was established based on the mechanism of stress relief in deep mining. The energy evolution law was investigated by introducing the local energy release rate index (LERR), and the energy criterion of instability of surrounding rock was established based on the cusp catastrophe theory. The results showed that the evolution equation of the local energy release energy of the surrounding rock was quartic function with one unknown and the release rate increased gradually during the mining. The calculation results showed that the gob was stable. The LERR per unit volume of the bottom structure was relatively smaller, which mean the stability was better. The LERR distribution showed that there was main energy release in the horizontal direction and energy concentration in the vertical direction which meet the characteristics of deep mining. In summary, this model could effectively calculate the stability of surrounding rock in the formation of gob. The LERR could reflect the dynamic process of energy release, transfer and dissipation which provided an important reference for the study of the stability of deep mined out area.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Zn and Pb concentration on seed germination and plant growth in water and soil culture, and the frequency of chlorosis invegetation and the relationship between plants and soil in the Sambo mine. The inhibition of germination were observed in 1000ppm of Zn, 10ppm of Pb and 5000ppm of Zn + Pb, but germination was more stimulated in 10ppm of Zn than control. The symptoms of chlorosis and abnormality were occurred in plant leaves grown to the soils treated with more than 1000ppm of Pb. Reasons of chlorosis were considered as an antagonistic effect of other metals towards uptake of iron by the plant in Zn treatment. The contents of Zn and Pb in fruits were lower than those of leaves, and that was remarked in case of Pb. With increasing rate of Zn and Pb treatment, chemical components of soils in pot culture were accompanied by slight decrease in pH, total nitorgen and exchangeable K. Chlorotic individuals of 10 species were shown in the areas of the Sambo mine. Chlorotic symptoms were especially extensive and severe in Sophora angustifolia, Populus alba, Spiraea prunifolia, Amorpha fruticota, Lespedeza bicolor and Salix dependens. Plants in the investigated areas grew in soils containing Zn of 311ppm and Pb of 151ppm on an average, and accumulated Zn of 2084ppm and Pb of 49ppm.

SRB(Sulfate Reducing Bacteria) converts sulfate into sulfide using an organic carbon source as the electron donor. The sulfide formed precipitates the various metals present in the AMD (Acid Mine Drainage). This study is the fundamental research on heavy metal removal from AMD using SRB. Two completely mixed anaerobic reactors were operated for cultivation of SRB at the temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and anaerobic batch reactors were used to evaluate the effects of carbon source, COD/sulfate($SO_4^=$) ratio and alkalinity on sulfate reduction rate and heavy metal removal efficiency. AMD used in this study was characterized by low pH 3.0 and 1000mg/l of sulfate and dissolved high concentration of heavy metals such as iron, cadmium, copper, zinc and lead. It was found that glucose was an organic carbon source better than acetate as the electron donor of SRB for sulfate reduction in AMD. Amount of sulfate reduction maximized at the COD(glucose)/sulfate ratio of 0.5 in the influent and then removal efficiencies of heavy metals were 97.5% of Cu, 100% of Pb, 100% of Cr, 49% of Mn, 98% of Zn, 100% Cd and 92.4% of Fe. Although sulfate reduction results in an increase in the alkalinity of the reactor, alkalinity of 1000mg/1 (as $CaCo_3$) should be should be added continuously to the anaerobic reactor in order to remove heavy metals from AMD.
