Rn-222 was used as a natural radioactive isotope tracer to evaluate non-aqueous phase liquid(NAPL) contaminated soil and aquifer. In the case of soil sample, Rn-222 concentration was inversely decreased with diesel concentration in the granite soil sample and it was decreased about 30% at the 13% diesel contaminated soil. For evaluating trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated aquifer, the natural radioisotope Rn-222 was used as naturally occurring partitioning tracer for the approximate localization and semiquantitative assessment of the TCE source zone. Rn-222 was analyzed for the estimation of TCE contamination ranges of the acquifer in the contaminated site at Wonju in Korea.

Dispersion characteristics and envirounmental impactes of the stream sediments were investigated and geochemical disaster in the Namhae-Hwagye area was predicted. Stream sediments having no possibility of contamination effect and representing drainage basins were collected. Major and hazardous elements concentrations were determined by XRF, ICP-AES and NAA analysis methods. Acid decomposition for the ICP-AES have been used $HClO_4$ and HF with $200^{\circ}C$ heating at 1'st and after that $HClO_4$, HF and HCl with $200^{\circ}C$ heating at 2'nd stage. Hazardous elements concentrations for the stream sediments in the Namhae area were Cu $5.66{\sim}168\;ppm$, Pb $18.0{\sim}40.7\;ppm$, Cr $21.6{\sim}147\;ppm$, Co $4.86{\sim}25.3\;ppm$. Hazardous elements concentrations for the stream sediments in the Hwagye area were Cu $16.4{\sim}41.2\;ppm$, Pb $26.5{\sim}37.5\;ppm$ Cr $79.6{\sim}153\;ppm$, Co $15.7{\sim}29.5\;ppm$. Concentration of Cu and Co in the stream sediments show a negative correlation with $SiO_2$ in all study area. According to E.I.(Enrichment Index) of stream sediments was not enriched in study area. And average E.I. was 0.35 (Namhae) and 0.56 (Hwagye) respectively. The stream sediments were enriched as in order of Pb > Cr > Co > Cu. And the average of Enrichment Factor (E.F.) was 0.46 to 2.84, respectively. E.F. concentration of Cu and Co were nearly similar enrichment characteristic but E.F. concentration of Cr were higher enrichnent characteristic in Namhae than Hwagye area. Pb was highly enriched in all study area but the tolerable level that used to investigate the enrichment degree of hazardous elements, was not exposed to harmful hazardous elements.

Ninety-seven surface sediment samples, collected from the southeastern part of the Yellow Sea, were analyzed for their contents of five metallic elements, including Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu and Pb as well as their grain-size and calcium carbonate content. The result showed a contrasting behaviour among the five metallic elements. with respect to their relationship with the sediment grain0size. contents of nickel and copper demonstrated a fairly linear relationship with the pediment grain-size whereas those of manganese and lead did not. This different behaviour in these metals was interpreted as being the result of the anthropogenic inputs (for Pb) and modification during the early diagenesis (for Mn). The R0mode factor analysis result also confirmed the different behaviour of manganese and lead from that of copper and nickel. Based on this different behaviour in metals the (Mn+Pb)/(Cu+Ni) ratio was suggested as a possible criterion for distinguishing the fine sediments in the study area, which originated from two different source area.

The river sediments were collected from 4 points of Seoknam river, one point of Miho river and one point of the joining area of two rivers. For preparation of sample, three sediment samples were collected for the surface, middle and lower part of the sediment at each sampling point. The elemental concentrations were analyzed by neutron activation analysis using HANARO research reactor at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, and the concentrations of 30 elements were determined by the relative method using standard reference material of NIST. As a result of analysis, it was found that when the examination and prediction of contamination distribution about the site where the contamination site of river is connected to the lower river is done, the specific gravity of elements which is contained in the sediment and the speed of a current of river should be considered and also found that when the samples for concentration analysis in the river sediments are collected, for the establishment of regional representatives in samples, the range of sampling depth should be determined considering the specific gravity of elements and the speed of a current.

서울시 암반 지하수의 수리지구화학 및 오염 특성을 토지 이용 특성과 관련하여 시.공간적 측면에서 체계적으로 고찰하고자 3년간에 걸친 모니터링을 수행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 1차년도 취득 자료에 대한 예비 고찰 결과를 소개한다. 서울시 암반 지하수의수질 유형은 Ca-HCO$_3$ 유형으로부터 Ca-Cl(-NO$_3$) 유형에 걸쳐 폭넓게 분포한다. 서울시 동부 지역 지하수의 경우, 중랑천을 중심으로 상류에서 하류 지역으로 가면서 용존고체함량(TDS)이 높아지는 경향이 있다. K, Ca, Mg 등 주요 양이온과 Ba, Fe, Sr 등 미량원소도 유사한 공간적 분포 특성을 보여준다. 이러한 수질 항목은 대체적으로 지하수 유동에 수반된 수/암 반응의 증가를 잘 반영하는 것으로 해석된다. 반면, NO$_3$, Cl 등 음이온의 변화는 다소 불규칙하여 지역적인 토지이용 특성과 관련한 오염 요인의 기여를 반영한다. 한편, 도시 특성에 따라 서울시 암반 지하수의 수질특성을 전반적으로 고찰한 결과, 외곽의 비오염 지역에 비하여 중심부의 교통혼잡 지역, 남서부의 공단 지역, 서부와 남부의 농업 지역에서 뚜렷한 수질 저하를 보여주었다. 이러한 경향은 특히 Na, Cl, NO$_3$, SO$_4$, Ni, Pb, Se 등의 수질 항목에서 뚜렷하게 나타난다.

리모트 수소 플라즈마를 이용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면 위에 있는 금속불순물의 제거 및 제거기구에 관하여 조사하였다. 실리콘의 표면과 내부분석을 위하여 TXRF(total reflection x-ray fluorescence)와 SPV(surface photovoltage), AFM(atomic force microscope)을 사용하였다. TXRF 분석결과 리모트 수소 플라즈마가 금속오염물질 제거에 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. TXRF분석결과 리모트 수소 플라즈마가 금속오염물질 제거에 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 리모트 수소플라트마 처리 후 금속오염은 금속원소의 종류에 따라 1010atoms/$\textrm{cm}^2$-1011atoms/$\textrm{cm}^2$수준이었다. SPV분석결과를 보면 수소 플라즈마 처리에 의해 minority carrier 수명이 전반적으로 증가하였다. AFM 분석을 통하여 수소 플라즈마 처리가 표면 손상을 일으키지 않으며 표면의 거칠기에 나쁜 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 실험에서 나타난 결과들을 종합해 볼 때 금속오염물의 제거기구는 자연산화막 혹은 수소로 passivate된 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면을 수소 플라즈마에서 발생된 수소원자가 실리콘표면을 약하게 에칭할 때 떨어져 나가는 'lift-off'가 유력한 것으로 판단된다.

Daeyoung mine (also called "Daema mine") produced gold and silver from mainly gold- and silver-bearing quartz veins. The mine tailings are a waste hazard, but most of the tailings were swept away or dispersed throughout the area around the mine long before the tailing dump areas were transformed into agricultural land. Soil liner and protection facilities, such as retaining walls, were constructed in the mine area to prevent the loss of tailings. The content of the tailings is 3,424.41~3,803.61 mg/kg, which exceeds the safety standard by a factor of 45. In addition, contamination was detected near agricultural areas and in the sediments in downstream drainage channels. A high level of As contamination was concentrated near the waste tailings yard; comparaable levels were detected in agricultural areas close to streams that ran through the waste dump yard, whereas the levels were much lower in areas far from the streams. The contamination in stream sediments showed a gradual decrease with distance from the mine waste yard. Based on these contamination patterns, we concluded that there are two main paths that affect the spread of contaminants: (1) loss of mine waste, and (2) the introduction of mine waste into agricultural areas by floods after transportation by streams. The agricultural areas contaminated by mass inflow of mine waste can act as contamination sources themselves, affecting other agricultural areas through the diffusion of contaminants. At present, although the measured effect in minimal, sediments in streams are contaminated by exposed mine waste and surface liners. It is possible for contaminants to diffuse or spread into nearby areas if heavy elements trapped in soil grains in contaminated agricultural areas leach out as soil solution or contaminant particles during diffusion into the water supply.

최근 산림지 및 조림지역에의 축산 분뇨 액비 처리가 자연순환농업의 일환으로써 하나의 대안으로 대두되고 있는데 액비처리에 의한 환경영향, 특히 수분 및 영양성분 수지의 불균형을 초래하여 수질 오염 및 토양에 과잉 영양분을 축적할 우려가 있어 이에 수질에 미치는 영향에 대한 모니터링과 분석 시행함으로써 적용의 문제점 및 대책 방안 도출이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산림 유역에서 SCB액비 처리에 따른 지하수에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 지하수의 수질 모니터링을 실시하였다. 질산태 질소 중심으로 SCB액비 처리에 의한 지하수의 수질 영향을 분석하고, 질소 동위원소비를 이용하여 지하수의 질산태 질소 오염원을 판별하였다. 그 결과 바이오순환림이 액비처리에 의해 지하수 하류부에서 질산태 질소가 증가하는 경향을 나타내었는데, 이는 질소 동위원소비 분석 결과, 액비로부터 침출된 것으로 분석되었다. 반면에 유휴지의 경우, 액비 시용으로 인한 지하수 수질 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 추후 SCB액비 시용에 따른 산림유역에 대해서 지속적인 모니터링과 샘플링을 실시하여 다양한 항목에 대한 조사 및 분석을 이루어진다면 조림지와 같은 산림지역에서의 SCB액비 시용에 따른 수질 영향 모델링 및 모형 구축의 기초 자료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

$TiO_2$는 의료기기, 광촉매, 태양전지 등의 여러 분야에 응용이 가능하여 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그 중 양극산화를 통하여 수직으로 잘 정렬된 나노튜브는 넓은 반응면적, 높은 전자 전도성 등의 장점으로 그 성능을 더욱 향상 시킬 수 있어 많은 연구자들이 이용하고 있다. 양극산화의 특성상 Ti 기판 위에 형성된 나노튜브의 효용성을 높이기 위하여 기판에서 분리하여 membrane의 형태로 이용하기도 한다. 이런 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 멤브레인의 이용은 주로 오염물의 분해를 위한 광촉매, 염료감응 태양전지의 전극으로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 멤브레인에 기체 동위 원소 분리에 이용되는 HKUST-1, ZIF-8 등과 같은 Metal Organic Frame Work (MOF)을 충진 시켜 극저온에서 수소 동위 원소를 분리 하고 자 하는데 있다. 하지만 MOF를 충진하기 위해서는 기존의 $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브 멤브레인보다 더 넓은 내경과 안정성이 요구되는 바이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 내경을 수백 나노미터 이상으로 확장하기 위한 전해질, 전류(전압) 조건 등에 대하여 연구 하였다. 또한 멤브레인의 안정적인 제조를 위하여 2-step 양극산화 조건, 열처리 조건 등의 변화를 통하여 그 목적을 달성 하고자 하였다.

The geochemical evolution of mine drainage and leachate from waste rock dumps and stream water in Pb-As-rich abandoned Sechang mine area was investigated to elucidate mechanisms of trace metals. Total and sequential extractions were applied to estimate the distribution of trace metals in constituent phases of the waste rocks and to assess the mobility of trace metals according to physicochemical conditions. These discharged waters varied largely in chemical composition both spatially and temporally, and included cases with significant]y low pH (in the range 2.1-3.3), and extremely sulphate (up to 661 mg/l and metal contents (e.g. up to 169 mg/l for Zn, 27 mg/l for As, 3.97 mg/l for Pb, 2.99 mg/l for Cu, and 1.88 mg/l for Cd). Arsenic and heavy metal concentrations at the down-stream of Sechang mine have been decreased nearly to the background level in downstream sites (sites 8 and 16) without any artificial treatments. The oxidation of Fe-sulfides and the subsequent hydrolysis, of Fe(II), with precipitation of poorly crystallized minerals, constituted an efficient mechanism of natural attenuation which reduces considerably the transference of trace metals (i.e. Fe and As) to rivers. The dilution of drainage by mixing with pristine waters provoked an additional decrease of trace metal concentrations and a progressive pH increase. On the other hand, the most soluble cations (i.e. Zn) remained significantly as dissolved solutes until the pH was raised to approximately neutral values. With respect to ecotoxicity, it is likely that the Zn pollution is of particular concern in Sechang mine area. This was confirmed by the sequential extraction experiment, where Zn in wet waste-rock samples occurred predominantly in the exchangeable fraction (65-89% of total), while Pb was the highest in the reducible and carbonate fractions, and Cd, Cu and As in the residual fraction. Pb concentration in the readily available exchangeable fraction (34-48% of total) was dominated for dried waste rock samples. Considering the proportion of metals bound to the exchangeable and carbonate fractions, the comparative mobility of metals probably decreased in the order of Zn>Pb>Cd>As=Cu.
