The Site investigation of the Pyrophyllite mine in Southwestern part of Island in Korea

抄録

Environmental problems caused by certain geologic conditions include contaminated soil by acid mine drainage (AMD) are recently serious problem. This investigation has performed three times at site during 8 months. It was collected that 15 surface water samples, 2 groundwater samples, and 20 soil samples in sampling of each time. The AMD of pyrophyllite ores caused by the oxidation of weathering. The AMD contains Mn, Fe, Ni, Cd, Pb, As that enriched in the mine water with low pH. The pH value various in water sample was 3.1~7.9, and concentration of Mn, Fe, Ni, Cd, Pb, As and sulfate (SO₄^2- in the samples measured 0.016~2 383 mg/l.
