Abstract
Fractional compositions and leaching potentials of Cd, Cu and Zn were investigated in the soils which had been disposed with the metal processing wastes, tungsten mine tailings and low quality coal mine area. Total concentrations of metals in these soils were higher than in non-polluted paddy and upland soils. Fractions of Cd, Cu and Zn were mostly reducible, organic and residual forms, but varied with origins of wastes. Residual fraction was a predominant form in the nonpolluted soils. Leaching potentials of metals were higher in polluted soils than in non-polluted soils. Metals leached were higher at pH 4.0 than 7.0 and increased with the duration time. After 25 to 35 hrs, metals released from soils reached a pseudoequilibrium. Leaching potential of metals in non-polluted soils was low due to high percentage of residual fractions.

석탄저장소, 텅스텐 광산의 광미, 고철 제련장내의 오염된 토양을 대상으로 중금속의 존재형태와 용출 가능성에 대하여 조사하였다. 석탄저장소와 광미, 제련장 지역 내 토양의 중금속 농도는 논과 비 오염지역의 산 토양보다는 높게 나타났으며, 대부분의 중금속의 존재형태는 reducible, organic과 residual fraction이 높게 나타났다. 오염되지 않은 토양의 중금속의 존재형태는 residual 형태가 주를 이루었다. 용출 가능성에 대한 평가는 오염되지 않은 토양보다는 오염된 토양에서 높게 나타났으며, pH 7.0 보다는 pH 4.0에서 시간이 증가함에 따라 용출량이 증가하였다. 오염 된 토양으로부터 중금속의 용출은 Cu, Zn, Pb 등이 용출시간이 25시간 또는 35시간에 유사 평형에 도달했다. 오염되지 않은 토양의 낮은 용출은 중금속의 존재형태 중 높은 residual fraction의 비율에 의해 기인된 것으로 사료된다.
