초록

Pb, Cu, As로 오염된 제련소 부근 토양을 대상으로 하여 황산화균인 Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans와 철산화균인 A. ferrooxidans를 이용한 미생물학적 용출법을 적용한 후 용출 특성을 비교하였다. 황산화균과 철산화균에 각각 에너지원인 S와 Fe&(2+)를 공급한 경우 초기 pH 2.3에서 pH 1.3~1.5까지 감소하였다. 황산화균을 적용한 경우 슬러리 내 Pb와 As의 용존 함량이 가장 높았으나 처리된 토양을 대상으로 한 제거효율은 철산화균을 적용한 경우 가장 높게 나타났다. 이는 철산화균에 의한 Fe^(2+) 산화에 의해 형성된 Fe(III) 콜로이드에 용출된 Pb와 As가 흡착되었기 때문이다. 미생물학적 용출 과정을 거친 토양 중 Cu와 As는 각각 우려기준과 대책기준 이하의 함량을 보였으나 Pb는 여전히 우려기준보다 높은 값을 보였다. 이는 Pb의 경우 황산화균 및 철산화균을 적용하였을 때 각각 불용성인 PbSO_(4(s))를 형성하거나 Fe(III) 침전물에 흡착되었기 때문이다. 반응이 종료된 토양 내의 Pb와 Cu는 쉽게 교환이 가능한 형태의 비율이 증가하였으므로 안전한 재사용을 위해서는 반응 기간을 연장하는 방안이 필요하다.

Abstract

Bioleaching of Pb, Cu, and As from contaminated soil near a refinery was investigated using a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, and an iron-oxidizing bacterium, A. ferrooxidans. Both bacteria supplied with their respective energy sources, S and Fe^(2+), resulted in decrease in slurry pH from 2.3 to 1.3~1.5. The sulfur oxidizer led to the highest concentrations of dissolved Pb and As in the slurry; however, the highest removal of the elements from the soil was observed in the presence of the iron oxidizer. The result was due to adsorption of Pb and As onto Fe(III) colloidal suspensions which formed after Fe^(2+) oxidation by the iron oxidizer. After 3-week microbial leaching process, Pb concentration was still higher than the soil pollution criteria regulated by Korean government, which was due to formation of insoluble PbSO_(4(s)) or adsorption onto Fe(III) precipitates. After the bioleaching process, the readily exchangeable fraction of Pb and Cu appeared to increase in the treated soil, thus bioleaching period was required to be extended for safe reuse of the soil.
