Abstract

The study was carried out to analyze the pollutant Fe, Cu, Cr, Zn, Cd for sediments collected from lake in K river basin. Three analytical methods currently used in Korea, Japan, U.S.A, were compared. Pretreatment using microwave digestion showed higher analytical results for Fe, Cu, Cr, Zn, Cd than Korean Official Method(KOM) and American Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure(TCLP) Method. Also, analytical results using microwave digestion, TCLP and KOM were as follows: 38.1-48.0 mgFe/kg, 10.2-15.9 mgFe/kg AND 3.5-12.6 mgFe/kg, 37.0-50.1 mgCu/kg, 0.06-0.24 mgCu/kg and 0.01-0.03 mgCu/kg, 137.0-152.0 mgZn/kg, 0.67-0.82 mgZn/kg and 0.3-0.5 mgZn/kg, respectively. From this result, a new analytical method for the determination of heavy metal in sediment should be developed for the accurate estimation of pollution degree in sediment.
