Abstract

Supply deficit of lead commodities and environmental pollution can be simultaneously resolved through the recovery and recycling of waste lead. The recent recovery of lead through recycling of the lead battery waste is a positive development. To maximize the effect of lead recovery and recycling in the future, the updated status of the lead material flow should be recognized. However, such an analysis at the preliminary stages may be cumbersome owing to the complexity and diversity of emission sources and material streams. At this stage, a preliminary screening by domestic lead flow using public information should be feasible. Therefore, in this study, using the data from the UN Comtrade and domestic PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) databases, the amounts of lead import, emission, and transfer were identified and cross-checked with the domestic lead flow described in the National Material Flow Analysis database. The lead flow for major categories such as waste lead-acid batteries showed a rough consistency between the databases.

폐기물에서의 납 회수 및 재활용을 통해 원료공급 안정화와 환경오염 예방을 동시에 도모할 수 있고 실제로도 최근 폐납축전지 위주의 재활용을 통해 납 원자재 공급 측면에서 긍정적인 효과를 보고 있다. 다만 향후 납 회수 및 재활용의 효과를 극대화하기 위해서 납의 물질흐름의 현황을 효과적으로 파악할 필요가 있는데, 배출원 등의 복잡성과 다양성으로 인해 관련 조사가 번거로울 수 있다. 이 경우 편의상 인터넷 공개자료를 통한 예비 조사의 선수행이 효과적일 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 공공기관 공개자료를 통해 국내 납의 흐름을 파악하여 향후 납 회수/재활용에 효율성을 기여하고자 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 UN Comtrade와 국내 화학물질배출×이동량 사이트 자료를 이용하여 납의 수입량 및 배출×이동량을 파악하고 이를 국가통합자원관리시스템에서 제시된 납의 흐름과 비교하였다. 그 결과 폐납축전지 등 주요 항목별 관련 납의 흐름이 각 사이트 간에 대략적인 일치를 보였다.
