남극 드레이크해협 극전선 남쪽 해산(수심 2710 m) 퇴적물코어(DP00-02, 코아길이 284 cm)의 화학조성과 점토광물분석을 실시하여 빙기-간빙기 순환과 관련된 고해양학적 분석을 실시하였다. 구성 점토광물은 전반적으로 스멕타이트가 우세하고 일라이트와 녹니석이 보다 적은 양으로 함유되어 있었다. 그러나 캐올리나이트는 거의 검출되지 않았다. 최하부에서 Marine Isotope Stage(MIS) 4와 5의 경계에 해당하는 170 cm 정도까지의 구간에서 상부로 갈수록 스멕타이트의 함량이 10% 정도 서서히 감소하는 경향을 보이고, 그 이상에서는 함량이 거의 일정하다. 점토광물 조성의 일정성에 비하여 SiO2, Zr, Cs, Th, REE, K2O, Al2O3는 CaCO3와 상호 대조적이면서 큰 변화를 보인다. 24, 136, 176 cm 깊이에서 SiO2의 급격한 증가와 CaCO3의 급격한 감소가 관찰되는데, 이 시기에 기원지로 생각되는 남극대륙 빙붕으로부터 ice-rafted debris (IRD)가 다량 공급된 것으로 판단된다. 기타 주원소들, 미량원소, REE의 변화경향은 SiO2와 유사하지만, Ni, Cu, Ba은 SiO2와 상관성이 상대적으로 매우 낮은데, 이는 쇄설성 외에 속성과정에서의 재동 또는 해양생산성이 높았던 시기의 규조와 같은 생물기원 쇄설물의 축적과 관련이 있는 것으로 추정된다. 특히 Ba의 경우, SiO2보다 10~20cm 정도 지연되어 증가하는 특이한 경향을 보이는데, 이는 빙하후퇴에 이은 생산성의 빠른 증가와 관련된 것으로 보인다.

Electrokinetic technique was considered in removing arsenic from the abandoned mining tails. In order to estimate the removal characteristics of arsenic, the sequential extraction analysis and desorption experiment were carried out prior to the application of electrokientic process. The result of sequential extraction analysis indicated that the water soluble and exchangeable fraction, easily leachable to ground water, were very low as much as about 2.5% and the fraction except residual (38.3%), possibly extractable under very acidic or alkalic environment, was about 59%. In the result of desorption test using four different kinds of electrolytes, the mixture of citric acid and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) showed the highest desorption efficiency as much as 77.3%. The removal efficiencies of arsenic from mining tailings by electrokinetic process under the different electrolyte environments were slightly low and resulted in the following order: citric acid + SDS (18.6%) > 0.1 NHNO3 (8.1%) > HAc (7.4%) > Distilled water(6.6%). Also, arsenic in soil matrix was moved favorably in the direction of anodic rather than cathodic region, which is opposite trend with cationic metal ions generally existing in soil, because anionic form of arsenic is dominated in acidic soil caused by the movement of acid front form anode.

Butyltin compounds (BTs), namely tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MBT), were measured in surface and core sediments collected in 2001 inside Seogwipo Harbor, in order to evaluate their distribution characteristics. Seogwipo Harbor is one of major harbors of Jeju Island where a lot of shipping occurs and is designated as a trade port by the Korea Maritime and Port Law. BTs were detected in surface and core sediments of all stations and their concentrations in surface sediments were low, compared with to those in other sites of domestic and foreign countries. The main species among BTs was MBT, although there was a little difference with a survey site in surface sediments and in core sediments with depth. No or low correlations were obtained between organic matter or particles size of surface and core sediments and total BTs, indicating that these factors did not affect the distribution of BTs. It was estimated that more complex factors including BTs loads and surrounding sedimentary environments, affect the distribution of BTs. The high correlations between BTs indicated that DBT and MBT were mainly degraded from TBT based on antifouling paints of vessel etc. and other sources, such as DBT and MBT, could be ignored. The butyltin degradation indices ([DBT] + [MBT]/[TBT]) in surface sediments were in the range of 2.0～3.8 (mean 3.0), indicating that the parent compound, TBT, were inflowed into the surface sediments a long years ago, degraded and deposited. The sedimentation age of BTs contaminated core sediments could not estimated because the content of 210Pb activity were nearly all the same and so the sedimentation rate could not obtained.

연안 준설퇴석물을 열처리, 생물침출공정을 이용한 중금속처리, 중화처리 등의 다양한 방법으로 전처리한 재료를 이용하여 연안해수에 함유된 질산염의 흡착특성에 대한 실험실적 연구를 수행하였다. 전처리된 퇴적물의 흡착평형시간은 생물침출-열처리 퇴적물이 17분으로 가장 빨랐으며 생물침출-중화-열처리 퇴적물과 생물침출퇴적물이 각각 25분. 27분으로 황토와 열처리 황토에서의 3,3분, 32분 보다 빠르게 흡착되는 것으로 평가되었다. 시험된 재료들에 대한 흡착공정은 Freundlich 등온흡착식으로 해석할 수 있었으며, 전처리한 퇴적물의 흡착속도가 황토에 비해 빠름을 알 수 있었다. 질산염의 흡착량은 퇴적물과 열처리 퇴적물에서 각각 2.l2, 2.19 mg NO3-N/g 으로 가장 많았으며 열처리 등으로 전처리된 퇴적물은 연안해수의 수질개선을 위한 흡착재로서 활용 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

미세하게 부유된 입자(alumina(AlO), quartz(SiO))의 침전 농도를 물리-화학적(초기농도, pH, NaCl)인 영향을 고려하면서 연구하였다. 침강실험은 입자사이의 끌어당기는 힘 때문에 Flocculation(플록 형성)이 일으키는 초기농도와 NaCl의 증가가 중요한 영향을 미치며, 더욱이 미립자(alumina(AlO))의 농도-시간 곡선에 pH의 영향이 매우 큼을 보였다. 또한 정지수면 조건하에서 미립자의 침전 거동예측을 위한 수치 모델

포항지역 제3기 해성퇴적층에서 산출되는 탄산염광물의 특성을 밝히기 위하여 음극선 발광현미경 관찰과 화학분석을 실시하였다. 발광현미경은 보통의 편광 현미경으로는 관찰할 수 없는 정보를 제공해 준다. 사암의 탄산염 교질물 내에서, 편광현미경하에서는 나타나지 않는 유공충의 형태와 마름모꼴로 자란 돌로마이트 형태들이 음금선 발광현미경하에서는 명확히 나타난다. 화학분석 결과, 발광은 탄산염 광물 내의 망간 성분과 칠 성분에 의해서 나타난다. 그러나 돌로마이트 내의 철성분이 10,000 ppm을 넘게 되면 발광은 사라진다. 산출되는 돌로마이트는 칼슘 성분이 많은 것이 특징이며, 60～70℃의 초기 속성작용 단계에서 생성된 것으로 생각된다.

울산시 사연댐 상류에 위치하여 주기적으로 침수되는 퇴적암의 풍화특징을 연구하였다. 현장조사, 전자현미분석기, Χ-선 회절분석기 및 Χ-선 형광분석기를 이용하여 암석의 풍화조직 및 광물의 조성변화 조사를 통해 주기적으로 침수되는 암석의 기계적 및 화학적 풍화양상을 연구하였다. 수장암석의 풍화작용은 퇴적층리와 수직방향으로 발달한 파쇄대 및 균열과 박리현상과 같은 기계적 풍화작용이 현저하다. 이러한 물리적인 풍화현상은 물과 암석과의 접촉면적을 넓혀 화학적 풍화작용을 가속화시킨 결과 풍화대와 약풍화대에서 석영을 제외한 거의 모든 광물이 용해작용 또는 변질작용을 받았으며, 특히, 탄산염광물의 용해작용이 현저하여 약풍화대에서 조차 방해석이 완전히 용해되어 빈 공간으로 남아있다. 그러나 점토광물과 같은 이차광물의 형성은 미약한 특징을 보인다. 이 지역의 암석은 일정기간 동안 물에 잠긴 상태로 유지되고, 동결과 해빙이 반복됨으로써 물리적 풍화작용이 상대적으로 빠르게 진행되어 물의 침투가 용이한 투수성 구조를 형성하였고, 그 결과 탄산염광물의 용해작용이 급속하게 일어났다. 자유로운 물의 순환으로 인하여 용해된 원소들이 점토광물과 같은 풍화광물로 침전되지 않고 용탈됨으로써 암석조직이 이완되어 풍화작용이 가속되었다. 퇴적암중 풍화에 극히 약한 탄산염광물의 높은 함량이 강한 화학적 풍화작용의 주 요인으로 보인다.

We report the distributions of Sb and As in the surface sediment of the Yellow Sea and the coastal areas of Korea. The mean concentrations of Sb and As range from 0.68 ppm to 1.01 ppm and from 7.4 ppm to 15.8 ppm, respectively, and show relatively the high concentrations at the coast of Weolseong in the East Sea for Sb and at the coast of Gadeok Island in the South Sea for As. This may be due to the anthropogenic input of these elements via river and atmosphere from industry complex and agriculture regions around the study areas. Because of the difference of clay to silt proportion, the correlation between silt plus clay contents and Sb, As in the coastal surface sediment of Korea is not shown, the concentrations of Sb and As vary widely for the sample in which the silt plus clay contents are the same. Therefore, we suggest that the distribution patterns of Sb and As in surface sediment of the Yellow Sea and the coastal areas of Korea are mainly controlled by the anthropogenic inputs and the sediment characteristics. On the other hand, the Sb concentrations are lower than those of the lowest effect level which is the standard of judgment for contamination, while the As concentrations are higher than those of the lowest effect level. This implies that the surface sediments of the Yellow Sea and the coastal areas of Korea are considerably contaminated for As.

새만금 미세점착성 퇴적물의 침강특성을 퇴적물 자체의 물리ㆍ화학적 기본특성과 연계 해석하기 위하여, 퇴적물의 입경분포, 광물질 구성 및 유기물 함량 조사로 구성되는 새만금 퇴적물에 대한 물리ㆍ화학적 특성 조사가 수행되었다. 새만금 퇴적물의 물리ㆍ화학적 특성에 대한 분석 결과, 새만금 퇴적물은 평균입경(52)이 비교적 크고 유기물 함량(2%)이 매우 작으며, 점착력이 비교적 자은 석영이 주된 광물질 구성성분으로 점착력에 의한 침강효과 보다는 중력에 의한 침

Sediments and river waters from the channel of Hwasun-cheon were studied in sedimentological size and geochemical analyses of metallic elements for the purposes of identification of depositional environments and geochemical characteristics. The sizes of sediments are assigned to pebble to coarse sand in mean size and polymodal in distribution. And the sediments are poorly to very poorly sorted and positively skewed. According to the grain size distributions of the sediments, the Hwasun-cheon belongs to gravel-bed river on the basis of the grain size distribution of the sediments. The behaviors of metallic elements in the sediments mainly depend on not grain size distribution but the geology connected with geomorphological reliefs near the stream. Contamination indices(CI) of Zn, Cu and Pb are 2.83 to 6.96 with average 4.31 in the sediments. Hwasun-cheon is assigned to general stream type in accordance with water quality of physical factors and chemical characteristics by Piper's diagram. Though meaningful values of BOD, T-N, T-P were locally depicted near Masan-ri, Hwasun-eup and Jiseok-cheon areas, artificial metal concentration do not represent in the most area of the stream. Sediments and river water are considered that the relatively more or less high metallic contents in the stream are originated from coal mine and urban area.

In order to evaluate the relationship between geochemical characteristics and benthic facies of the sediments from the Oenaro Island where red tide proliferation is first observed every year including this year, surface and short multiple core sediment samples were analyzed in terms of geochemical and benthic facies variation. The contents of organic carbon, carbonate, and sulfide gas were relatively low. The variation in C/N ratios, which indicate nature of organic carbon, suggested that the organic carbon recorded in the study area is composed of mixtures of marine and terrigenous organic matters. The concentration of minor elements found at the surface and multiple core sediment samples were also low as well as the enrichment factors(Ef) for the seven heavy metals indicated that the sediment of this area is not polluted significantly. The macrobenthic faunal community comprised 61 species, and their mean density was 708 ind./m2. Polychaete worms were major taxa of this benthic community. A crustacean amphipod, Melita sp. was the most abundant species accounted for 20.7% of total abundance, and the small polychaetes such as Heteromastus filiformis, Paralacydonia poradoxa, Magelona japonica, and Sigambra tentaculata were the next dominant species. The macrobenthos around the Oenaro Island were more diverse and abundant than that in Gamak Bay. The benthic communities in the study area sustained somewhat different species composition based on the cluster analysis and the MDS ordination. The benthic community health condition at three stations seemed to be unbalanced, and slightly polluted based on the biological index such as BPI and BC. There was no clear relationship between the geochemistry characteristic and the benthic faunal facies attributed by the micro-algal blooms in this coastal area.

Mineral composition and chemistry of the clay minerals in the three cores from the continental shelves of South Shetland Islands (NCS09) and Anberse Island (GC98-2), and from the fjord of King George Island (A10-01) were determined by X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analysis in search of the distributions and origin of the clay minerals in the Antarctic marine sediments. Smectite content is relatively high in NCS09 regardless of core depths (av. 8.3%), but low in GC98-2 (1.1%). In Al0-01, smectite content is higher in the upper section than in the lower section. Kaolinite was not detected from all the cores in this study Yellow to yellowish green clay granules were commonly scattered in the sediments of NCS09 cores. The clays contain 16.97% and 2.53% Fe2O3와 K2O. Average structural formula of the clay indicates ferrian beidellite . The (Fe, K)-rich smectite of NSC09 must have been derived from relatively young basaltic volcanics altered by reaction with seawater near Shetland Islands by glacial erosion or eolian process related to volcanic eruption. GC98-2 nearer to Antarctic continent is very low in smectite content. In A10-01, the lower diamicton was deposited from the glacial erosion of smectite-free ancient volcanics in the interior of King George Island, while the upper section was derived from the smectite-bearing terrestrial debris and eolian materials after retreat of glaciers in Marian Cove

본 연구에서는 원심력을 이용한 하이드로싸이클론을 준설된 호소 퇴적물의 처리 공정에 적용하는 실험을 수행하였다. 준설된 퇴적물의 안정화 및 위생적 처리를 위해서는 경우에 따라 탈수 및 분급공정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 공정에 하이드로싸이클론을 적용하였으며, 실온에서 실제 호소 퇴적물과 폐 석탄회를 이용하여 분리효율을 실험하였다. 본 연구 결과 하부배출구의 크기는 한계분리입경(d(sub)50)에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었고, 비중이 큰 입

To investigate size distribution and metallic elements of surface sediments in Hampyong Bay, the southwestern coast of Korea, sedimentological and geochemical studies on surface sediments are carried out. The surface sediments of Hampyong Bay are classified into gravel, muddy sandy gravel, gravelly muddy sand, gravelly sandy mud, mud facies in accordance with areal characteristics. The coarse sediments are distributed on the subtidal zone along the main tidal channel and southeast intertidal flat of Hampyong Bay. On the other hand, the fine sediments are dominated in northeast and west intertidal flat of Hampyong Bay. Most metallic elements except for Ba in the sediments are closely interrelated with fine sediments and mutually with each element. Ba is maybe related with sandy sediments and inversely related with carbonate contents. Normalized by Al content, the sediment do not show any remarkable metal enrichments influenced by resonable artificial or environmental factors.

This study was performed to investigate the riverbed structure and the pollution type in Nakdong River, Western Nakdong River, and Suyoung Stream. Sediment and water samples were collected at 15 in Nakdong River, 7 in Western Nakdong River, and 8 sites in Suyoung Stream from February 20, 1997 to June 15, 1997. The depth distributions of sampling sites in the three streams were measured and heavy metals(Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu) and pesticides in sediments and COD, BOD, and total nitrogen(T-N) in water samples were analyzed. The deepest and the shallowest sites were site 11(11.58m) and 9(3.35m) in Nakdong River, site 7(6.25m) and 4(2.06m) in Western Nakdong River, and site 8(2.89m) and 1(0.61m) in Suyoung Stream, respectively. The mean concentration of Cd(45.79ppm) was higher in the sediment of Western Nakdong River than in other two streams and those of Pb(76.25ppm), Cr(48.13ppm), and Cu(77.50ppm) were higher in the sediment of Suyoung Stream than in other two streams. Pesticides(1 kind of organophosphonis and 3 kinds of organochlorine pesticide) were detected only in the sediment of Western Nakdong River. The mean concentrations of COD(20.26ppm), BOD(25.36ppm), and T-N(18.05ppm) were higher in the water sample of Suyoung Stream than in other two streams.

The temporal variations of the suspended material concentration (SMC) during spring-neap tidal cycle was investigated at more than 30 stations in Deukryang Bay, Korea, in 1 and 23 July, 1992. The averaged total SMC in spring tide was two times more than those in neap tide. It can be explained that the strong tidal current in spring tide disturbed bottom waters and induced higher SMC in the bay. The areal distributions of SMC for the surface and the bottom layers in the bay shows much different patterns during spring and neap tidal cycle. We concluded that the vertical stratification intensity of water mass is important factor of the horizonatal distribution of SMC in the bay.
