초록

황화철은 자연 퇴적토와 공극수에서 생물학적 과정이나 무생물학적 과정에 의해서 상당량 생성된다. 본 연구에서는 6가 크롬과 황화철로부터 용해되어 나온 이가 철과 6가 크롬의 반응에 관하여 알아보기 위해 6가 크롬의 초기농도를 다르게 하여 pH 4와 8에서 수용액상과 고체상으로 나누어 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 철산화물인 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, ${\alpha}-FeOOH$, $Fe_3O_4$와 0가 철을 이용하여 황화철에 의한 6가 크롬의 제거효율을 비교하였다. 6가 크롬의 제거율은 pH 4일 때가 pH 8일 때 높았으며 이는 낮은 pH에서 황화철로부터 용해되어 나온 이가 철의 양의 pH 4에서 더 많기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 투과전자 현미경(Transmission Electric Microscopy)을 이용한 황화철의 표면 분석을 통하여 고체 표면에 형성된 침전물을 확인하였다. 이는 황화철에 의한 6가 크롬의 환원 작용에 의하여 iron(oxyhyoxide) 침전이 형성된 것으로 판단된다. 황화철은 철 산화물 및 영가 철에 비하여 그 제거능이 월등하며 이는 이가 철과 함께 황화물의 상호작용인 것으로 사료된다.

Iron sulfide(FeS) is significantly produced through both abiotic and biotic processes in natural sediments and pore waters. In this study, chromium(VI) reaction with iron sulfide at various initial concentrations and at pH values of 4 and 8 was conducted to better understand the interactions between Cr(VI) and Fe(II) species dissolved from iron sulfide in both the aqueous and solid phases. Also, the removal efficiency of iron sulfide was compared with zero valent iron and other iron bearing oxides such as ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, ${\alpha}-FeOOH$ and $Fe_3O_4$. The Cr(VI) removal rate by iron sulfide was higher at pH 4 than at pH 8 because more dissolved Fe(II) existed at pH 4 than at pH 8. Chromium and iron(oxyhydroxide) could be identified on the iron sulfide surface with transmission microscopy imaging and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The removal capacity of iron sulfide was much higher than zero valent iron and other iron oxide minerals due to the synergic effect of hydrogen sulfide and ferrous iron.
