Abstract

We investigated the contamination and behavior of heavy metals in stream sediments within the watershed of Juam Reservoir. Many abandoned mines within the reservoir can act as a potential contaminant source for water quality. Heavy metal concentrations (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in stream sediments from watershed are very low, indicating that content of heavy metals in the sediments probably do not affect the water quality in Juam Reservoir. However Pb concentration in the stream sediments increases downward streams, suggesting the possible diffusion of Pb contamination. According to the leaching ratio for stream sediments at a strong acidic condition in the abandoned mine areas, the relative mobility for metals decreases in the order of Pb＞Zn=Cu＞Ni＞Cr, indicating that Pb can have a bad effect upon the water quality in Jum Reservoir. Moreover, if contaminated sediment is placed in the bottom of reservoir (i.e., reducing condition), the relative mobility of Pb is the highest, indicating that Pb in the bottom sediments can be leached to water at interface between water and sediment with changing in physicochemical conditions.

전라남도 보성강에 축조된 주암댐의 집수유역 내 하상퇴적물을 대상으로 중금속의 오염현황과 거동 특성을 알아보았다. 주암댐의 집수유역에는 많은 폐금속 및 탄광이 위치하고 있어 주암댐 호저퇴적물에 잠재적인 오염원으로 작용할 수 있다. 집수유역 내 하상퇴적물의 중금속 함량(Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn)은 매우 낮기 때문에 주암댐의 호저퇴적물에 영향을 줄 것으로 판단되지 않는다. 하지만 폐금속광산지역 내 하상퇴적물의 Pb 함량은 하류로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 보여, Pb의 오염 확산이 우려된다. 폐금속광산의 환경을 고려한 강산성 조건의 용출실험결과, 하상퇴적물의 용출비로부터 결정된 중금속의 상대적 이동도는 Pb＞Zn=Cu＞Ni＞Cr으로서, Pb이 주암댐 호저퇴적물에 영향을 미치는 원소가 될 수 있음을 지시해준다. 한편 댐으로 유입한 퇴적물이 호저에 놓이게 되면(즉, 환원환경), Pb의 이동도가 비교적 높게 나타나 물-퇴적물 경계에서 Pb의 수중으로 재용출될 수 있다.
