Abstract

This paper aims to explain the safety assessment and remediation mechanism of Granulated Coal Ash (GCA) as a material for the remediation of coastal sediments and to evaluate the improvement of the sediment in Kaita Bay, where GCA was applied. The concentrations of heavy metal contained in GCA and the dissolved amounts of heavy metal from GCA satisfied the criteria for soil and water pollution in Japan. The mechanisms on the remediation of coastal sediments using GCA is summarized as follows; (1) removal of phosphate and hydrogen sulfide (2) neutralization of acidic sediment (3) oxidation of reductive sediment (4) increase of water permeability (5) increase of soil strength (6) material for a base of seagrass. From the results obtained from the field experiment carried out in Kaita Bay, it was clarified that GCA is a promizing material for remediation of coastal sediment. This remediation technology can contribute to promote waste reduction in society and to decrease cost of coastal sediment remediation by applying GCA in other polluted coastal areas.

본 논문에서는 석탄회 조립물을 이용한 저질개선 기술의 안전성 및 저질개선기구에 대해 논하고, 일본 카이타만 석탄회 조립물 피복구간에서의 저질개선효과에 대해 검토하였다. 석탄회 조립물의 중금속 농도 및 용출량은 일본의 환경기준을 만족하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 석탄회 조립물의 저질개선기능은 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. (1) 인산염 및 황화수소의 제거 (2) 산성 저질의 중화 (3) 투수성의 증가 및 이로 인한 환원상태 저질의 개선 (5) 지반강도의 증가 (6) 부착성 조류의 서식 기반. 일본 카이타만에서 실시한 현장실증실험 결과로부터 연안저질의 pH중화, 인산염 및 황화수소 농도 감소 등 석탄회 조립물의 저질개선효과가 검증되었으며, 이에 따른 저서생물의 증가가 확인되었다. 석탄회 조립물을 이용한 연안저질의 개선기술이 실용화 된다면 오염저질의 정화에 소요되는 비용의 절감은 물론 산업부산물인 석탄회의 재활용에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
