Abstract

This study was conducted to comparatively assess quantitative indicating factor for biomineralization characterizing $CO_2$ mineralization on three type of minerals (i.e., $CaCl_2$, $MgCl_2$, $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$) in an aqueous solution amended with Bacillus pasteurii or indigenous microorganisms for a S landfill cover soil. For given three types of minerals, $NH_4{^+}$ (urease activity) was released at the highest of 88 mg/L for $MgCl_2$, then 85 mg/L for $CaCl_2$, and the lowest of 42 mg/L for $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$. $CO_2$ gas in the head space was completely removed after 12, 12, and 24 hr for $CaCl_2$, $MgCl_2$ and $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$, respectively. $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in $CaCl_2$ solution was the quickest and the greatest decreased 92% for 12 hr whereas that in $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$ solution was lower at 85% for 36 hr. $Mg^{2+}$ concentration in $MgCl_2$ was more efficiently decreased at 46% for 48 hr than that of $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$ solution of 38.5% for 72 hr. Regardless of types of minerals or their concentration, pH was changed from 5.5 to 9 by biomineralization being progressed. Microbial activity ($OD_{600}$) was also changed from 0 to 0.6. SEM images indicated that spheroidal and trapezoid shape crystal were formed, which were identified as of $CaCO_3$ (Calcite) and $MgCO_3$ (Magnesite) by X-ray diffraction. In the long run, $NH_4{^+}$ (urease activity), $CO_2$ gas, $OD_{600}$, pH, $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ would be suitable for reasonable indicating factor in order to assess the degree of biomineralization efficiency.

본 연구에서는 생광물화에 미치는 주요한 영향 인자의 파악 및 광물별 생광물화 특성을 알아보기 위하여 $CaCl_2$, $MgCl_2$, $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$ 수용액을 이용하여 bottle test를 진행하였으며, 대상 미생물은 생광물화 관련 미생물 중 Bacillus pasteurii와 S 매립지 복토재 내 토착 미생물을 이용하였다. 광물 종류별 실험을 진행한 결과, $CaCl_2$, $MgCl_2$, $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$에 대해 각각 85, 88, 42 mg/L의 암모늄($NH_4{^+}$)이온이 생성되었고 이산화탄소 가스가 각각 12, 12, 24시간 후에 검출되지 않았다. 수용액 내 $Ca^{2+}$이 $CaCl_2$의 경우 12시간 후 92% 감소하였고 $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$의 경우 36시간 후 85% 감소하였다. 반면에 $Mg^{2+}$은 $MgCl_2$의 경우 48시간 후 46% 감소하였고 $CaCl_2-MgCl_2$의 경우 72시간 후 38.5% 감소하였다. 이온 농도 또는 광물의 종류에 관계없이, pH의 경우 생광물화가 일어난 실험군에서만 pH 5.5에서 pH 9로 변하는 것을 볼 수 있었고 미생물 활성도($OD_{600}$) 또한 0에서 0.6으로 증가했다. 실험 종료 후, 주사전자현미경(SEM) 사진을 촬영한 결과, 회전 타원체 모양의 결정체와 사다리꼴 모양의 결정체가 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 X-선 회절분석으로 확인된 $CaCO_3$ (Calcite)와 $MgCO_3$ (Magnesite)이었다. 본 연구 결과 urea를 이용한 생광물화능을 판단할 수 있는 영향인자로서 효소의 활성도, $CO_2$ gas 농도변화, $OD_{600}$, pH, 용액 내 칼슘(또는 마그네슘) 이온농도가 적합함을 확인하였다.
