본 연구는 불산 누출사고로 인한 토양 내 불소의 잔류여부 및 용출특성을 파악하여 장·단기적 환경위해성을 조사하고자 하였다. pH 유지 용출시험, 연속 회분식 용출시험, 주상용출시험 등을 적용하였다. 이는 다양한 환경과 시간범위에서 불소의 용출정도를 조사하여 이동도 및 용출특성을 포괄적으로 이해하고자 함이다. 대부분의 토양시료에 대하여 pH가 알칼리성으로 증가할수록 수산화이온과의 경쟁 및 치환으로 인하여 불소의 용출농도 역시 증가하였다. 연속 회분식 용출시험에서는 인공오염 토양시료에서 초기 불소의 용출농도가 매우 높게 나타났으나 2차 용출 이후 현장토양시료와 유사한 낮은 용출농도를 보였다. 또한, 주상용출시험의 경우도 인공오염 토양시료에서의 초기 용출단계에서 다량의 불소가 용출되는 경향을 나타냈다. 다양한 용출시험 결과 초기 토양입자표면에 잔류한 불소는 비교적 초기에 쉽게 제거되는 것을 확인하였으며, 사고로 인한 잔류불소의 영향은 2년이 지난 현재 시점에서 매우 적다고 판단된다. 따라서 실제 화학물질 사고와 같은 외부적인 영향을 받은 환경피해지역 토양에 대하여 즉각적인 오염확산관리가 선행되어야 할 것이다. Various leaching tests were applied to the soil affected by accidental leakage of HF in an industrial area in Korea. Three different leaching methods including pH-stat, continuous batch leaching, and column tests were adopted to assess leaching characteristics and mobility of fluorine(F) in soil and the potential risks to ecosystem. Both natural and spiked samples were used for the leaching tests. F concentrations in the batch tests increased by leaching rapidly in the early stage of leaching and then maintained rather constant levels. Column leaching test also show similar result to that of the batch test. pH also controlled the leaching behavior of the soil. With increasing pH, more F was released in the pH-stat test. This is mainly due to the competition and exchange with hydroxyl ions, as pH increase to the alkaline range. Most of the F released by the accident seem to have removed in the very early stage of leaching, whereas some natural proportion from soil minerals are thought to have been released very slowly. Therefore, little F released during the accident remained, based on the results of this study on the samples after two years of the accident. We could conclude that soil contaminated by external effects such as chemical accidents should be managed immediately, especially with F.

Effect of Leaching on the Compressibility of Busan Clay

김윤태,Thanh-Hai Do 대한토목학회 2010 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.14 No.3

Settlement in a soft clay deposit usually increases at leaching process due to weakening of the bonds in the soil skeleton. This paper investigates the effect of leaching on the compressibility of Busan clay. The treated clay samples were prepared by a leaching procedure in the laboratory with distilled water in the oedometer cell chamber. The initial salinity of about 17 g/L in the clay, which was taken from Hwajeon industrial complex area, was decreased to about 3 g/L in 25 days. A series of Constant Rate of Strain tests (CRS tests) were performed to compare the compression characteristics of natural clay specimens and leached clay specimens with the same soil conditions except for salinity. The experimental results showed that the compressibility of Busan clay increased as its salinity decreased. The compression index and the swelling index had increased but the preconsolidation pressure had decreased after leaching. This may be explained by a weakening of the bonds in the soil skeleton due to the leaching.

The stone-dust is an unavoidable by-product of aggregate production, which is produced about 0.8~1.0 million $m^3$ annually. The stone-dust is currently regarded as a hazard material on environment because it is classified as an industrial waste in the Waste Management Law of Korea. At present, the stone-dust is considered as a environmentally hazardous material, and is classified as an industrial waste according to the Waste Management Law of Korea. In this study, we assessed the heavy-metal contamination of the stone-dust on surrounding environments by various leaching tests. Leaching experiments (such as Korea Standard Leaching Procedure (KSLP), Soil Environment Preservation Act of Korea (SEPAK), Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), and Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP)) show that very low heavy metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg) and CN are leached out, or much less than each regulatory thresholds. The resuts of the leaching test with time in acidic solution (initial pH 5 and 3) indicate that pH-buffering minerals are present in the stone-dust. These results suggest that the stone-dust can not potentially affect adverse impact on surrounding environments such as surface water, groundwater and soil etc..

Arsenic is one of the most abundant contaminant found in waste mine tailings and soil around refinery, Because of its carcinogenic property, the countries like United States of America and Europe have made stringent regulations which govern the concentration of arsenic in soil. The study focuses on solidification/stabilization for removal of arsenic from soil. Cement was used to solidify/stabilize the abandoned soil primarily contaminated with arsenic (up to 68.92 mg/kg) in and around refinery. Solidified/stabilized (s/s) forms in the range of cement contents 5–30 wt % were evaluated to determine the optimal binder content. Revised Korean standard leaching tests (KSLT), toxicity characteristic leaching procedures (TCLP), Old Korea standard leaching test and revised Korea standard leaching test were used for chemical characterization of the S/S forms. The addition of 10 % cement remarkably reduced the leachability of arsenic in contaminated soil. The concentration of As in leachate of TCLP, KSLT, and old KSLT for soil are below the standard. However that in leachate of revised KSLT is above the standard. Because of extraction fluid used in revised KSLT is very strong acid. It is arsenic in s/s with binder should be exhaustingly leached. Therefore S/S process would not be available for As treatment in soil in Korea.

저방사성폐수지, 제올라이트, 가연성잡고체 혼합폐기물을 유리화하기 위해서 AG8W1 후보 유리와 가연성잡고체 단독으로 유리화하기 위하여 DG-2 후보유리가 개발되었다. 두 후보유리의 화학적 내구성을 평가하기 위하여 PCT와 VHT 침출시험이 수행되었다. 7일 PCT 침출시험 수행결과 AG8W1과 DG-2의 주요 원소별 침출률은 기준유리(benchmark glass SRL-EA) 보다 낮게 나타남을 알 수 있었고 미국 Hanford 유리고화체 규제치 보다 낮은 결과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 120일 동안의 시험에서도 주요 원소인 B, Na, Si, Li가 SRL-EA 보다 낮게 나타남을 볼 수 있었다. VHT 침출시험 수행결과 AG8W1, DG-2의 침출률(leach rate)은 각각 , 로써 미국 Hanford 규제치 보다 낮은 결과를 나타냈다. 결과적으로 유리화 시설 상용운전 시 사용예정인 이들 후보유리들의 침출은 안정화되어 있었으며 화학적 내구성이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. Two candidate glasses, AG8W1 and DG-2, have been developed for vitrifying the mixture of low activity resin, zeolite and Dry Active Waste(DAW), and DAW solely, respectively. In order to evaluate the chemical durability of the glasses, two different leaching tests, Product Consistency Test(PCT) and Vapor Hydration Test(VHT), have been performed. As the results of PCT performed from 7 to 120 days, the leach rates of B, Na, Si and Li in the glasses were much lower than those of the benchmark glass(SRL-EA). As the result of VHT peformed for 7 days, the leach rates were 2 and for AG8W1 and DG-2, respectively, The results of VHT met the regulatory guideline( $<50g/m^2/day$) for the low activity glasses of Hanford in the USA. Consequently, two candidate glasses to be used at a commercial operation in the future showed that their chemical durability is satisfactory according to the results of two leaching tests.

Radioactive cesium is a heat generated and semi-volitile nuclide in spent nuclear fuel (SNF). It is released gasous phase by head-end treatment which is a pretreatment of pyroprocessing. One of the capturing methods of gasous radioactive cesium is using zeolite. After ion-exchanged zeolite, it is transformed to ceramic waste form which is durable ceramic structure by heat treatment. Various ceramic wasteforms for Cs immobilization have been researched such as cesium aluminosilicate (CsAlSi2O6), cesium zirconium phosphate (CsZr2(PO4)3), cesium titanate (CsxAlxTi8-xO16, Cs2TiNb6O18) and CsZr0.5W1.5O6. The cesium pollucite is composed to aluminosilicate framework and cesium ion incorporated in matrix materials lattices. Many researchers are reported that the pollucite have high chemical durability. In this study, the Cesium pollucite was fabricated using mixtures of aluminosilicate denoted Absorbent product (AP) and Cs2CO3 by calcination and pelletized by cold pressing. The characterization of fabricated pollucite powder and pellets was analyzed by XRD, TGA, SEM, SEMEDS and XRF. The chemical durability of pollucite powder was evaulated by PCT-A and ICP-MS and OES. Thus, the optimal pressure condition without breaking the pellets which is low Cs2O/AP ratio and pelletizing pressure was selected. The long-term leaching test was performed using MCC-1 method for 28 days with the fabricated pollucite pellets. The leachate of leaching test was allard groundwaster and Deionized water and replaced 5 contact periods which is 3 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 28 days and analyzed by ICPMS. The leaching rate was shown two stages. The first stage was rapid and relatively large amount of nuclides were leached. The leaching rate was decreased in the second stage. The fractional release rate of this study was shown same trend. These results were similar to previous studies.

천병식(Chun Byungsik),박덕흠(Park Dukhyum),강형남(Kang Hyoungnam),도종남(Do Jongnam) 한국지반환경공학회 2008 한국지반환경공학회논문집 Vol.9 No.5

무기질계 주입재는 지반개량 재료로서 기존의 물유리계 재료를 사용할 경우 발생하는 용출현상 및 강도저하를 보완한 시멘트계 급결재와 무기질계 초미립자를 주원료로 하는 순수 무기질 재료를 사용한 것으로서, 시공 후 내구성 및 강도가 우수하고 주입재의 용출 현상이 발생하지 않아 환경오염 문제가 거의없는 영구적인 차수 및 보강에 적합한 친환경적인 재료이다. 본 연구는 지반개량 재료로서 급결성 시멘트계 재료와 순수 무기질 주입재를 주원료로 배합된 MIS(Micro Injection-process System)와 기존에 많이 쓰여지고 있는 물유리계 주입재인 SGR의 내구성 및 친환경적특성을 일축압축강도시험, 내화학성시험, 어독성시험, 화학성분 분석 등의 실험으로 비교ㆍ분석 하였다. 일축압축 시험결과 재령 28일 강도는 MIS가 SGR재료에 비해 1.7배 크게 발현 되었고, 재령 40일 이후 SGR재료는 강도가 저하하는 반면 MIS는 지속적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 내화학성시험 결과 MIS의 길이변화율이 물유리계주입재에 비해 10배~25배 작게 나타났다. 그리고, 어독성시험 결과 MIS가 물유리계주입재에 비해 친환경적임이 증명되었고, 화학성분 분석 결과 MIS 용출액이 물유리계주입재의 용출액에 비해 Cr??, Pb, Si 성분이 적게 검출됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, MIS 주입재는 기존의 SGR 주입재에 비해 고강도로 공기단축 및 기초지반의 구조적 안정성이 우수하며 친환경적이라 지하수 오염 등의 문제도 적을 것으로 판단된다. Inorganic injection material, which is one of the ground improvement materials, consists of cement accelerator and inorganic micro particle. The inorganic injection material is known to overcome the major limitations of water glass type improvement materials, which are leaching and accompanying strength loss. The inorganic injection material is superior in durability and strength, and environmentally friendly since leaching is prevented. In this study, the effectiveness and environment-friendliness of the MIS(Micro Injection-process System) using the inorganic injection material is compared to SGR, which uses the water glass. The performed tests were unconfined compression test, chemical resistance test, and fish poison test. The unconfined compression tests showed that the MIS results in 1.7 times higher 28 day strength compared to the SGR. In addition, the strength continually increased with time for the MIS, while it decreased for the SGR. The chemical resistance tests indicated that the rate of change in length using the MIS is 10~25 times smaller than when using the SGR. The fish poison test proved that MIS was more environmentally friendly. The analysis of chemical ingredients of leached showed that the amount of Cr6+, Pb and Si leached from the MIS is less compared to the SGR. Accordingly, the MIS grout is more high-strength than existing SGR grout. It is excellent in shortening of construction period, structural stability of foundation and environmentally friendly. So, it is considered that it has not little the problem about groundwater pollution.

본 연구에서는 각종 건축물의 해체 공사에서 발생하는 다량의 폐콘크리트를 이용한 재생골재의 활용방안으로 유해폐기물고형화 방법에 있어 요구되는 재생골재의 공학적 특성을 파악하고 그 적합성을 평가하기 위하여 실험하였다. 시멘트 모르타르에 재생골재를 기존 모래와 혼합하여 재생골재 5-15%일때 28일 양생 모르타르의 강도는 1급 콘크리트 벽돌 C종의 강도기준인 163kgf/㎠을 모두 상회하였다. 안정성 평가를 위한 용출실험 결과 Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr, As의 경우 법적기준치 보다 낮았으나, Hg의 경우 기준치보다 용출농도가 높게 나타내었는데 이는 Hg이 단순히 물리적으로 고정되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 시멘트의 모르타르의 결정구조를 파악하기 위한 XRD 분석결과 Ca(OH)₂, ettringite, CSH 피크가 나타났으며, 양생시간이 길어짐에 따라 나타나는 비교적 안정된 수화물인 CSH의 피크가 높게 나타났다 위의 실험 결과 재생골재 치환량 5-10%일 때 혼화재인 비산회, 하수슬러지 소각재를 첨가한 경우 유해폐기물고형화 재료로써 활용가능성이 충분하나 압축강도를 좀 더 증진시킬 수 있는 다른 혼화재 및 첨가제 등에 관한 연구가 진행된다면 효과적인 재활용 방안이 될 것으로 판단된다. In this study, It was carried out to evaluate the feasibility of recycled crushed concrete as aggregate used cement mortar replace sand and to investigate engineering properties of recycled aggregate for hazardous waste solidification. The compressive strength of cement mortar replaced 5-15% (wt.) recycled aggregate was over 163 kgf/㎠ which is the standard of first grade concrete block class C. And cement mortar was examined to evaluate the stability by leaching test. Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr, and As as the heavy metals were proved very stable but mercury (Hg) was leached high concentration because it was simply tied to the cement surface. We investigated the crystal structures of cement mortar and they had shown the peaks of Ca(OH)₂, ettringite, and CSH (calcium silicate hydrate). As the result, the longer curing time, the higher CSH peak that means to increase compressive strength and the cement mortar was more stable. Therefore it was shown that it may be possible to apply hazardous waste solidification using recycled aggregate, fly ash and sewage sludge ash.

Hazard Assessment of Waste Silicon Photovoltaic Modules

( Eun-young Jo ),( Youn-hang Cho ) 한국폐기물자원순환학회(구 한국폐기물학회) 2019 ISSE 초록집 Vol.2019 No.-

The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems increases in many countries and the PV market was grown exponentially. With a global forecast for the installation of 604 GW in the year 2020, the installed weight of modules will increase to 47 million tons. In Korea, Over 1,400 MW of PV capacity was installed by the middle of 2018, and it is forecasted over 1,800 MW in the end of 2018. By 2050, it’s expected solar panels will account for 60 million tons of waste. Recycling all the materials that go into making them is essential, because those 60 million tons of panels will represent nearly $16 billion in valuable resources, and some materials used are potentially toxic if discarded in a landfill. There are many studies about toxic leachate from end-of-life thin film PV modules. However, there is only a few study for leaching of hazardous materials from silicon PV modules. In this study, 6 hazardous heavy metals (Cu, As, Cr, Hg, Pb, and Cd) leached from the silicon PV modules were determined by leaching test. Three kinds of waste silicon PV modules were used for the test, and experiments were followed leaching test method of waste materials from Ministry of Environment, Korea.
