Abstract

In this study, the location conditions and optimal technologies required for creating urban municipalities that can utilize the space in an abandoned mine area, where there is no infrastructure related to recycling wastes and valuable metals, are investigated. The urban mining industry deals with mineral resources through the processing of high value-added industrial by-products and wastes, and it is a useful linkage industry for the development of mineral resources and prevention of mining hazards. Urban mining technologies targeted at the abandoned mine area constitute screening, extraction, and smelting for recycling waste products. By analyzing the technologies available, an industrial network can be developed for recycling waste batteries and catalysts, which are promising raw materials. It is also important to establish an appropriate location for related industries that can generate value-added resources, rather than the resource supply and demand conditions seen in general urban mines. In order to overcome the accessibility and infrastructure limitations, the economic foundation of the abandoned mine area should consider the linkage of raw material supply, key technologies for recycling useful mineral resources that are derived from urban mines, spatial and site conditions, and industrial characteristics.

본 연구에서는 폐기물 및 유가금속 재활용관련 인프라가 전무한 폐광지역의 공간을 활용한 도시광산 조성을 위한 최적기술과 입지조건을 설정하기 위한 조건과 기법을 제시하였다. 도시광산 산업은 부가가치가 높은 산업부산물 및 폐기물의 가공을 통해서 광물자원을 취급하는 산업으로, 광물자원의 개발과 광해방지의 연계산업으로 의미를 지닌다. 폐광지역 대상의 도시광산을 대상으로 폐기물 재활용 기술은 선별, 추출, 정제련의 핵심기술이 대상이 되며, 해당 기술수준 분석결과, 유망한 원료인 폐전지, 폐촉매의 재활용과 이를 기반으로 사업화를 수행하는 산업망이 필요하였다. 이를 통해서, 일반적인 도시광산의 자원수급 여건보다는 부가가치를 생성하는 자원이 발생하는 관련 산업과 연계된 입지분석의 항목 설정이 중요하였다. 접근성과 인프라 한계를 극복하기 위해서, 도시광산 조성에서, 공간 및 입지 여건, 산업 특성에 따른 폐광산 지역 진흥지구내 경제적 기반구축, 원료공급과 수급의 연계, 유용광물자원 재활용 핵심기술 확보인자를 도출하였다.
