Paleosol layers lying on top of the terrace in Jeongdongjin area appear to have been deposited under generally well-drained condition with periodic waterlogging. From a 4.5m-long profile observed, a total of 6 stratigraphic units were identified. Grain-size analysis indicates the dominance of silty and clay materials with some portions with high sand content. Major mineralogical elements are quartz, feldspar, mica and chlorite. Geo-chemical composition shows little change throughout the stratigraphy with some fluctuation in chemical weathering index. Marked increase in magnetic susceptibility is recognizable where stratigraphic unit changes. Soil- wedge layer is developed around 50cm below the surface with concentration of grains of AT tephra (c. 25,000 BP). An OSL date of c. 110,000 BP was obtained from a sand layer lying below the paleosol.

Detail downward variation records for paleomagnetic, XRD, photospectrogram, TOC results were obtained from the soil developed along the Hantan River, Gungpyeong-ri, Cheongsan-myeon, Yeoncheon-gun Gyeonggi-do. The unconsoildated sediments underlain by the Jeongok Quaternary Basalt indicates that the paleosol formed twice with different ages, as apparently indicated by sedimentological, paleomagnatic, and soil chemical properties. The paleosols recorded paleoclimate and paleoenvironments of about 271.21$\pm$89.8 ka before eruption of the Quaternary Jeongok Basalt.

This study aims to investigate the formation and sedimentary environment including formative period, grain composition and climate change from loess-paleosol sequence deposited on a gravel bed of river terrace in the Jincheon Basin, Chungbuk Province. The Jincheon section consists downward of a surface layer, loess-paleosol sequence, transitional layer I, transitional layer II and gravel bed. It can be suggested from the OSL age dating that the sequence was deposited during MIS 6 to 4. The sequence can be divided into four horizons based on the variation in the magnetic susceptibility values. Grain size analysis reveals that the sequence indicates similar properties of grain size to loess deposits in Korea and especially, the Y values in the sequence are lower than those in the loess and paleosol horizons in the Chinese Loess Plateau and similar to those in the Red Clay in the Chinese Loess Plateau and Xiashu loess in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. These Y values in the sequence can be attributed to the remote source and/or experience of intensive weathering process after deposition in the Korean Peninsula.

The physical and chemical characteristics of loess-paleosol sequence in Jeongjang-ri, Geochang basin are examined using the magnetic susceptibility measurement, grain size analysis, OSL age dating, major, rare earth and trace elements analysis. The grain size characteristics of the loess-palesol sequence are obviously different from those of river sediment forming river terrace deposits and the Chinese Loess Plateau. The loess-paleosol sequence consisting of L1, L1LL1, L1S1, L1L2, S1 and L2 from top to bottom is estimated to MIS 2~MIS 6 and the river terrace to MIS 7. The compositions of major, rare earth and trace elements indicate that the sequence show more weathered characteristics than the Chinese Loess Plateau and originated from the Chinese Loess Plateau. These features are in harmony with the previous studies in Korea.

토양수분량과 증발산량은 물의 순환과정에서 중요한 비중을 차지하고 있지만, 현재 우리나라에서는 토양수분량과 증발산량 관측소가 많이 설치되어 있지 않아 자료를 활용하는데 있어 어려움이 있으며, 유출특성 분석시에도 토양수분량과 증발산량 자료를 분석에 활용하지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 청미천 유역에 위치한 여주시(원부교) 수위관측소와 청미천 토양수분-증발산 관측소 자료를 활용하여 최근 3개년 유출특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 여주시(원부교) 수위관측소는 청미천 유역의 대표 지점으로 2010년 이후 매년 수위-유량관계곡선식이 개발 되었고 청미천에 위치한 토양수분-증발산 관측소는 2007년 관측이 개시되어 현재까지 자료가 확보되어 있다. 유출특성 분석시에는 상류에 위치한 장호원환경사업소의 방류량 자료를 확보하여 유출률을 산정하였다. 또한, 강수량 자료는 자료의 정확성을 높이기 위해 면적평균강수량 자료를 산정하여 분석 활용하였다. 2017년은 강수량 1,183.3mm에 유출고는 495.4mm이며 손실고는 692.9mm로 산정되었고, 2018년은 강수량 1,433.8mm에 유출고는 647.5mm이며 손실고는 786.3mm로 산정되었다. 2019년은 강수량 962.3mm에 유출고는 265.2mm에 손실고는 697.1mm로 산정되었고 토양수분량과 증발산량에서 연평균 관측값으로는 토양수분량 2017년 23.0%, 2018년 24.5%, 2019년 23.8%이며 증발산량은 2017년 591.5mm, 2018년 415.8mm, 2019년 500.6mm로 관측되었다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 해당지점에 대한 장기간 모니터링과 흐름 특성의 변화를 분석하고 토양수분량 및 증발산량을 활용하여 수위-유량관계곡선의 적절성 검토를 하였으며, 이에 따른 유출특성을 검토하여 수위-유량관계곡선식과 유출특성 자료는 정확도가 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

The weathering properties and provenance of loess-paleosol sequence deposited on gravel layer of river terrace in Bongdong-eup, Wangju-gun, Jeonbuk Province are examined using soil analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurement, grain size and element analysis. The Bongdong section consists of, from top to bottom, Layer 1(paleosol), Layer 2(loess), Layer 3(paleosol) and the gravel layer of river terrace. The magnetic susceptibility values show the systematic variations in the sequence and the results of grain size analysis reveal that the sequence was deposited by not fluvial or slope process, but eolian process, and that contains finer materials than the Daecheon loess and Chinese Loess Plateau. Among the results of soil analysis, organic contents indicate systematic variations similar to the magnetic susceptibility. The wet soil colors further reflect the characteristics of the sequence rather than the dry soil colors. Based on the analytical results of major and rare earth elements, the eolian materials contained in the sequence were deposited by the materials originated from the areas where the Chinese Loess Plateau has been originated or the reworked materials from the Chinese Loess Plateau, and after the depositions, the materials experienced the intensive chemical weathering under the humid-warm climatic conditions in the Korean Peninsula.

The loess on the Chinese loess plateau is not only the accumulation of Asian dust but also the source materials of Hwangsa. The eolian carbonates of the loess were dissolved and reprecipitated to form secondary pedogenic carbonates by the post-depositional weathering during the interglacial time. Mineralogical analysis shows that the secondary calcites are composed mostly of a nanosized fibrous calcite with rather constant width ($30{\sim}50nm$) and highly variable length. The nano calcite is the major authigenic mineral, which occurs as the fine-grained matrix of the loess and paleosol. The nano calcite was recently reported in the Hwangsa, where it was originated from the source regions of Chinese loess plateau.

폐수처리분야에 널리 사용되어 온 펜톤산화반응을 응용한 Fe$^{\circ}$/$H_2O$$_2$시스템을 이용하여 고농도 유류오염 미세호양(100$\mu\textrm{m}$이하)의 화학적 산화처리 실험을 수행하였다. 반응은 100$m\ell$, 삼각프라스크에 오염토양(5g)과 반응시약을 주입한 후 자석교반기를 이용하여 회분 식으로 진행하였으며 일정 시간(0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24hr)별로 TPH를 측정하였다. 그리고 각 조건별 시간에 따른 반응특성을 살펴보았다. 일반적으로 알려진 펜톤산화반응의 수요 반응조건인 초기 pH /$H_2O$$_2$ 및 Fe$^{\circ}$의 주입농도, 그리고 초기 디젤오염농도의 조건을 변화하며 각 조건별 처리효과를 알아보았다. 본 연구결과에서 최적 pH조건은 3인 것으로 나타났으며, 분말철(Fe$^{\circ}$)과 $H_2O$$_2$의 주입농도를 증가함에 따라 오염토양의 TPH 제거효율도 비례적으로 향상되었다. 초기오염농도에 따른 최종 처리효율은 큰 차이가 없었으나. 고농도 오염일수록 제거된 디젤의 총량은 크게 나타나. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법이 고농도 오염토양일수록 더 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 보여주었다. 대부분의 반응이 반응개시 후 약 8시간 이내에 이루어졌는데, 반응에 수반되는 pH 상승과 그에 따른 반응성의 저감효과를 일정 pH 조절에 의해 감소시킴으로써 반응성의 향상을 좀 더 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로, Fe$^{\circ}$/$H_2O$$_2$시스템을 이용한 화학적 산화처리방법은 경제성과 처리성능에서 고농도 유류오염 미세토양의 효율적인 처리방안으로서 향후 적용 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

We examined soil properties and provenance of loess-paleosol sequences at the Daebo Granite area of Buan, Jeonbuk Province, South Korea. The section consists of the surface layer, Layer 1(paleosol), Layer 2(loess), Layer 3(paleosol), Layer 4(loess), and Layer 5(paleosol), from top to bottom and thickness of the exposed section is approximately 280cm. The magnetic susceptibility values show the distinct variations between the loess- and the paleosol layer. Even though pH, ORP, water content, and soil hardness do not display the obvious differences in the section, the organic content indicates the variation similar to those of the magnetic susceptibility. In the respect of the soil colors measured under 3 conditions, although the variations of the wet soil color exceedingly reflect the difference of the layers, these variations are obscure in some points in the section due to the characteristics of the Munsell color system. Based on the geomorphological properties, sedimentary structure, the difference of the major element composition and the condrite-normalized rare earth element(REE) patterns showing the clear difference from the adjacent bedrocks and stream sediments and the similarity to those of the Chinese Loess Plateau, it is suggested that the section was formed by the material originated from the Chinese Loess Plateau and peripheral areas. However, because the material experienced the alteration after sedimentation under the environment of the sediment area, it has the properties different from the material in the provenance areas. This phenomenon may result in the climatic condition of Korea, especially in precipitation.
