This research was carried out to investigate the germination and seedling growth characteristics of the halophyte Suaeda asparagoides under various salt concentrations, temperatures, and the presence or absence of light S. asparagoides has a non-endospermic dicotyledonous seed structure that is go stone-shaped with a dark brown color and covered by a star-shaped perianth. Germination within the temperature range $5{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ varied from 8% to 65%. The highest germination occurred at $15^{\circ}C$. In seeds exposed to salt concentrations in the range 0~400 mM, the highest germination occurred at 0 mM, and the germination progressively decreased as the salt concentration increased. When the perianth of the seed was removed, the germination increased significantly. In the presence or absence of light, germination under white light was 5~20% higher than that under darkness, which varied according to salt concentrations in the range 0~300 mM. The plant growth of S. asparagoides, evaluated by plant height, branch number, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight, was higher in the concentration range 50~100 mM, and it decreased in the other concentrations. In conclusion, the seeds of S. asparagoides showed higher germination in fresh water at low temperature of approximately $15^{\circ}C$ under light when the perianth was removed, and the plant growth was higher at salt concentrations of 50~100 mM.

금속 재료 중 철강은 기계적 특성이 우수하고 대량생산이 가능하여 선박, 건축, 자동차 등 다양한 분야에 기초재료로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 스테인리스강 등과 같은 일부 특수한 용도의 강을 제외하고는 부식환경에 취약한 특성을 가지기 때문에 내식성을 향상을 위한 표면처리에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가장 일반적으로 습식법(wet process)을 통해 표면상에 아연(Zn)을 도금해 사용하며, 아연이 자체적으로 포함한 희생양극(sacrificial anode) 및 차폐(barrier) 효과가 철강의 부식을 방지하게 된다. 하지만 산업의 고도화에 따라 더욱 가혹해진 노출환경으로 인해 고내식 강재에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있으며, 아연코팅 층의 두께를 증가하여 내식성을 확보하는 방안은 미래 환경 및 자원적인 측면에서 근본적인 해결책으로 제시하기 어려움이 있다. 한편, 건식 프로세스(wet process)로 대별되는 PVD(physical vacuum deposition)에 의해 내식성을 향상시키고자 하는 연구들이 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 이것은 표면에 고순도 양질의 금속 막을 형성시킴으로써 외부환경과의 반응을 효과적으로 제어가 가능하며, 형성된 막은 그 물질의 고유 특성뿐만 아니라 제작 조건에 따른 표면의 기하학적 혹은 결정학적 구조에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 실용금속 중 이온화 경향이 가장 크고 산소와 반응하여 투과성이 작은 산화 피막 형성이 유리한 마그네슘(Mg)을 활용해 표면의 전기화학적 특성을 향상시켰다. 또한 금속 증착 중 진공도조절을 위해 도입되는 불활성 가스로 아르곤(Ar) 및 질소($N_2$)를 사용하여 표면에 형성한 막의 모폴로지 및 결정배향성이 내식성에 미치는 상관관계를 해석하고자 하였다. 실험방법으로 PVD법 중 비교적 간편하고 기초적인 지침을 제시하기 적합할 것으로 고려된 진공증착(vacuum evaporation)법을 이용해 아르곤 및 질소 분위기에서 진공도를 조절하며 용융아연도금상 Mg막을 형성하였다. 제작조건별 막의 기초 특성을 분석하기위해 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하였고, 결정배향성(crystal orientation) 분석을 위해 면간격(d-value)과 상대강도(relative intensity)를 확인하였다. 또한 내식성 평가로 염수분무(salt sprat test) 및 양극분극(anode polarization)을 각각 실시하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, Ar 및 $N_2$ 모두에서 가스압이 증가할수록 코팅층의 증착량은 적어지고 입상정(granular structure)의 모폴로지 형성 및 면간격과 상대강도가 증가하는 것이 확인되었다. 또한 쳄버 내 동일 진공도에서, $N_2$ 도입 시 Mg막은 더욱 치밀하고 미세한 입상정의 모폴로지로 형성되며 면간격과 상대강도는 더욱 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 내식성 평가에서 저진공 $N_2$ 조건에서 형성시킨 막이 가장 우수한 내식성이 나타났는데, 이는 상대적으로 불안정하고 반응하기 유리한 입계면적을 많이 포함한 입상정 모폴로지 및 표면에너지가 높은면의 면점유율 증가로 인해 외부환경과의 신속한 반응은 물론 안정적인 피막형성이 용이하였기 때문일 것으로 사료된다. 이상으로 Ar 및 $N_2$ 가스압 조건에 따른 고내식 Mg 막의 유효성을 확인하였고 향후 내식성을 향상시키는 방법으로 응용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Due to the increasing demand for clean energy, the consumption of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is expected to grow steadily. Therefore, stable supply of lithium is becoming an important issue globally. Commercially, most of lithium is produced from the brine and minerals viz., spodumene, although various processes/technologies have been developed to recover lithium from other resources such as low grade ores, clays, seawaters and waste lithium ion batteries. In particular, commercialization of such recycling technologies for end-of-life LIBs being generated from various sources including mobile phones and electric vehicles(EVs), has a great potential. This review presents the commercial processes and also the emerging technologies for exploiting minerals and brines, besides that of newly developed lithium-recovery-processes for the waste LIBs. In addition, the future lithium-supply is discussed from the technical point of view. Amongst the emerging processes being developed for lithium recovery from low-grade ores, focus is mostly on the pyro-cum-hydrometallurgical based approaches, though only a few of such approaches have matured. Because of low recycling rate (<1%) of lithium globally compared to the consumption of lithium ion batteries (56% of lithium produced currently), processing of secondary resources could be foresighted as the grand opportunity. Considering the carbon economy, environment, and energy concerns, the hydrometallurgical process may potentially resolve the issue.

우리나라는 생활용수의 대부분을 지표수에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 지표수는 가뭄과 같은 기상변화, 수질사고 등으로 물 공급의 안정성에 문제가 되기도 한다. 향후 기후변화는 가뭄의 빈도와 강도를 증대시킬 것으로 파악되므로 수질 및 수량의 문제를 더욱 악화시킬 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 지표수를 대수층 내에 인공적으로 함양한 뒤 대수층의 자연정화 기능에 의해 여과된 양질의 청정원수를 생산하는 기술을 본 연구에서 현장에 실증 적용하는 시설을 구축하였다. 이러한 기술은 기존의 지하 대수층을 이용하는 강변여과 등이 갖는 장점을 취하고 단점을 보완하였으며 친환경적이며 지속가능한 용수공급뿐만 아니라 청정 원수 확보를 통해 정수처리비용을 절감, 장기간의 가뭄이나 지표수 수질사고 시에 비상용수 공급 등 기존 취수원들과 달리 많은 장점을 갖고 있는 대규모 청정지하저수지 시험시설이다. 청정 지하저수지 기술이 주로 적용되는 지역은 해안지역 또는 하구 델타지역을 대상으로 한다. 해안 또는 델타지역은 해수침투로 인하여 염지하수가 부존되어 있기 때문에 지하수자원 활용에 매우 제한적이다. 따라서 지표수(담수)를 전처리하여 대수층에 인공적으로 함양을 하여 염지하수 대수층 안에 담지하수(담수체)를 형성할 수 있다. 이는 염수와 담수의 밀도차에 의해 희석되지 않는 특성을 이용한 기술이다. 청정 지하저수지 시험시설은 크게 지표수 취수시설, 전처리시설, 주입정, 양수정, 운영시스템으로 나눌 수 있다. 주입정 및 양수정은 원형의 형태로 지하저수지 조성범위 중심부에 9개의 주입정과 외각에 8개의 양수정을 설치하였다. 시험시설의 운영 과정은 하천수를 취수하여 전처리시설에서 탁도를 제거한 후, 피압대수층 염지하수에 동력으로 주입을 한다. 이때 기존에 부존되어 있던 염지하수를 밀어내고 담수체 지하수 형성을 유도한다. 일정기간 주입을 통해 목표 담수체를 만들어 내면 양수정에서 담수를 취수하되, 대수층의 모래자갈층을 일정거리 이동하여 취수하는 방식이다. 즉, 하천수를 대수층에 함양하고, 일정거리를 이동하여 취수하는 ASTR 방식의 대체수자원 확보 기술이다. 시험시설은 통합운영센터를 통해 원격감시 및 각종 제어/계측을 실시하며, 모니터링된 자료는 운영시스템에서 관리한다. 본 연구시설에서는 대수층 주입, 관정폐색, 미생물/지화학 수질반응, 지하수모니터링, 지반변형 등이 주요 핵심 연구를 진행하고 있도록 시설을 구성하였다. 본 시험시설은 2015년 8월 착공하여 2016년 4월에 완공 예정이며, 2016년 3월부터 주입을 시작하여 6개월간 피압대수층에 주입을 실시하고 이후부터 주입과 양수를 병행할 계획이다.

In this study, the reverberation of a bistatic sonar operated in southeastern coast in the East Sea in July 2020 was analyzed. The reverberation sensor data were collected through an LFM sound source towed by a research vessel and a horizontal line array receiver 1 km to 5 km away from it. The reverberation sensor data was analyzed by various methods including geo-plot after signal processing. Through this, it was confirmed that the angle reflected from the sound source through the scatterer to the receiver has a dominant influence on the distribution of the reverberation sound, and the probability distribution characteristics of bistatic sonar reverberation varies for each beam. In addition, parametric factors of K distribution and Rayleigh distribution were estimated from the sample through moment method estimation. Using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test at the confidence level of 0.05, the distribution probability of the data was analyzed. As a result, it could be observed that the reverberation follows a Rayleigh probability distribution, and it could be estimated that this was the effect of a low reverberation to noise ratio.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of interruption layer for capillary rise on the sand based growing media when growing Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) on soil reclamation and saline water irrigation. Growing media profile consists of three layers as top soil of 30 cm, 20 cm of the interruption layer for capillary rise and 10 cm of reclaimed paddy soil. Growing media profile was packed in 30 cm diameter column pots. The top soil was a mixture of sand dredged up from Lake Bhunam Tae Ahn, Korea and peat at the ratio of 95:5 by volume. Bottom part of column was covered with plastic net and the pots were soaked into 5 cm depth saline water reservoir with salinity $3-5\;dS\;m^{-1}$. Kentucky bluegrass was established by sod and irrigated using $2\;dS\;m^{-1}$ saline water ($5.7\;mm\;day^{-1}$) in 3 days interval. The results showed that the largest accumulation of salt in the spring with electrical conductivity in saturated extract (ECe) of $5.4\;dS\;m^{-1}$ and sodium absorption ratio (SAR) 34.0 in growing media without the interruption layer for capillary rise and ECe of $4.6\;dS\;m^{-1}$ and SAR 8.24 at growing media using gravel as the interruption layer for capillary rise material. The interruption layer for capillary rise of gravel and coarse sand reduced the accumulation of Na by 16% and 25%, ECe by 7% and 13% in the growing media. Visual quality of Kentucky bluegrass was higher in growing media with the interruption layer for capillary rise of gravel than no interruption layer by 8.3 compared to 7.9 in rates. The interruption layer for capillary rise of gravel and coarse sand enhanced the visual quality by 4.1 and 4.0%, root length by 50 and 38%, and root dry weight by 35 and 17% of Kentucky bluegrass, and reduced the accumulation of Na by 16% and 25%, ECe by 7% and 13% in the growing media.

General procedures of seed preparation as conventional guide had been established in China before most of Korean literature documented them. ‘Chwijongbeob’ (method of seed select) was to select good quality of seeds and to discard the rest. In ‘Seonjongbeob’ (method of seed grading) although China employed only ‘Sooseonbeob’ (method of seed select with water), but seeds were selected in order of selection of seeds by winds, selection of seeds by sieve and selection of seed with water in Korea. As compared with the recent techniques, those methods were perfect techniques for selection of good quality seeds of rice, except for method of seed selection by salt water was developed. The method for measurement of seed moisture, and for measurement of melted snow, spoiled urine and extracted juice by boiling water with the bone of livestock were originated from ancient China. The farming books in Korea were more or less followed the above methods. However, these techniques were complicated and impractical interms of validity and rationality. Also, it is judged that these tchniques are more appropriate in dry areas and alkaline soil of China rather than in Korean conditions. The plowing is a work to begin farming, and is operated for air ventilation between atmosphere and earth. Also, this techniques was adopted in the farming books from the early to the late Chosun dynasty without changes. Fields were deep-plowed in the first, in fall (or in spring) and for cultivation, and were shallow -plowed in the second, in spring (or in summer) and in intertillage. The former was for water reserve and land preparation, and the later was for weed control with intertillage. However, plowing in fall which was different from fallowing in dry areas, was recommended in Korea (Jikseol). but was not practiced in Sejongsilrok. This was changed with time, and plowing for cultivation in Korea was interrelated with use of green manure crops, method of plowing of upseting plough, method of manure practice and sometimes dry plowing. In addition, until the 15th century method of using a kind of plowing-tool made of log as farm tools was created to support reclamation for enlargement of farm land in mountaineous and coastal areas. For desolate farm lands by many internal and external disturbances, one tried to recover yield ability by increasing labor productivity from the 17th or 18th century. To do this, ‘Banjongbeob’ (culture method by upset plowing weed control) and ‘Hwanubeob’(culture method by firing weed control) which were cultural methods of ancient China were readapoted but the results were not clearly informed. Also, the reality of those was reexamined in the end of the Chosun dynasty.
