| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Minamata Convention on Mercury (2017) emphasized mercury (Hg) preventative management. Hg release from landfills poses serious health and environmental risks. We investigated Hg behavior of sulfurized/solidified Hg wastes using lysimeters simulated landfill to ensure the safety of landfilled Hg wastes. The five years lysimeter experiment showed sulfurized Hg (HgS) waste become unstable in landfill situations; dissolved Hg was detected in leachate. Cement solidification to HgS waste enhanced the stability in landfill situations; Hg emission from lysimeter with the solidified HgS waste was extremely law (less than 0.001%). And then, comparison of the lysimeter experiment for different landfill types and patterns indicated that semi-aerobic type landfill inhibited Hg emission and aquifer and alkaline components in landfill layer were related to Hg dissolution and diffusion.

水銀廃棄物の埋立処分に伴う水銀流出抑制に必要な最適な条件は、廃水銀を硫化物化した黒色硫化水銀の固化物が対象となる。また、最適な埋立条件は洗浄した固化物を準好気性埋立地の上層・中層域の非滞水部へ埋立処分することで、浸出水や大気拡散による水銀の流出が法規制を満足でき、長期亘って水銀流出の抑制が可能で、水銀廃棄物の処理処分時の環境対策として提言できた。
