Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $Na_2HPO_4{\cdot}12H_2O$, $CaHPO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$, $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O$ and $H_3PO_4$ for the stabilization of soils contaminated with multi-metals containing Pb, Cd and As. The application rate of stabilizers to soils was determined based on $PO_4/Pb_{total}$ molar ratio of 0.5, 1, 2, 4. The results of Korea Standard Test and TCLP (EPA Method 1311) showed the reduction of metal leachabilities below the regulatory limits for Pb and Cd when $H_3PO_4$ and $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O$ were applied. However, stabilization efficiency for Cd was low and in case of As leaching concentration increased rather. It is considered that $PO_4$ reacted effectively $Pb^{2+}$ due to leaching Pb under low pH condition created by adding $H_3PO_4$. Accordingly Pb was stabilized by dissolution and precipitation of hydroxypyromorphite. From the change of metals fraction using sequential extraction procedure when $H_3PO_4$ applied as a stabilizer, we confirmed that residual fraction increased more than 60% and this result was accorded with XRD analysis that detected only hydroxypyromorphite peak in $H_3PO_4$.

본 연구에서는 휴.폐광산 인근 납(Pb), 카드뮴(Cd), 비소(As)로 오염된 논토양에 대하여 $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $Na_2HPO_4{\cdot}12H_2O$, $Ca(H_2PO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$, $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O$, $H_3PO_4$를 안정화물질로 선정하여 $PO_4/Pb_{total}$의 몰비를 0.5, 1, 2, 4로 안정화 처리하였다. 안정화효율 평가를 위해 토양오염공정시험법과 TCLP(EPA Method 1311)를 수행한 결과, 납의 경우 $H_3PO_4$$Ca(H_2PO_4)_2{\cdot}H_2O$가 토양환경보전법상의 '가' 지역 기준을 만족하였으며, 특히 $H_3PO_4$의 경우 몰비가 증가할수록 안정화 효율이 급격히 증가하였다. 카드뮴은 납에 비하여 안정화효율이 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 비소의 경우 대부분의 안정화물질에서 안정화효율이 거의 나타나지 않거나 오히려 용출농도가 증가하였다. $H_3PO_4$가 다른 인산염 물질에 비해 납의 안정화에 높은 효율을 나타낸 것은 $H_3PO_4$에 의한 토양 pH의 저하로 인한 $Pb^{2+}$의 용출과 함께 $PO_4$가 반응하여 생성물인 hydroxypyromorphite(HP) 형성되었기 때문으로 판단된다. 연속추출법을 통한 안정화처리 전.후 토양내 중금속 결합형태의 변화는 $H_3PO_4$의 경우 5단계인 Residual fraction의 비율이 약 60% 정도 증가하였고 XRD 분석결과 $H_3PO_4$에서만 hydroxypyromorphite peak가 발견된 것과 일치하였다.
