Studies on the distribution of nitrogenous compounds, and respiratory oxygen consumption rate were carried out in Masan Bay, Korea where large amount of industrial and domestic wastewaters are discharged. In August 1986 the surface layer was significantly influenced by freshwater input. Below the seasonal pycnocline, an oxygen-deficient condition developed in a large area of Masan Bay. Concentrations of DIN, DON and PN were 735.6, 1261.8 and 48.5 umol/l at the head, and 79.1, 73.0 and 39.5 umol/l at the mouth of the inner Masan Bay, respectively. Phytoplankton carbon production was 2,695 mgC/m$^2$/day at the mouth of inner Masan Bay. Dissolved oxygen contents were lower than 1 ml/l from 3 m depth in inner Masan Bay and from 10 m depth in the outer Masan Bay. The high concentration of ammonium and phosphate in the lower layer suggests the active degradation of organic materials in the bottom waters and leaching from sediments. The ERS activity was 232.1 ul O$_2$/l/h in the surface waters of the innermost part of Masan Bay and respiratory oxygen consumption is likely to proceed at a rate of 442 ml O$_2$/m$^2$/day in the bottom waters of this bay. Nitrate removal rate was estimated to be 0.25 umol/l/day via denitrification in the bottom waters of the Masan Waterway. It is estimated from the ETS activity that, at the mouth of inner Masan Bay, 9.3-10.5% of carbon fixed in the upper layer was decomposed below the themocline.

We investigated the patterns of soil horizon evolution and its water distribution on three different forest stands covered with Larix leptolepis, Pinus koraiensis, and Qercus mongolica on the Experimental Forest of Kyunghee University, located in Kwangju, Kyunggi-Do. Compared to the properties of depths of O and A horizons evolved on the Pinus koraiensis stand, the depths of O and A horizons on the forest stands of Larix leptolepis and Qercus mongolica were shallower, indicating that the soil horizon were deeply influenced by geographical characteristics, its erosive and sedimentary distinction, vegetation cover and its population density. And the bulk densities of the sites selected were lower in the high slope gradient than that in the lower slope gradient at the same depth of soil profile. Therefore, the changes of the soil bulk densities were closely related to the soil organic matter and the vertical transport of soil particle throughout soil depths. On the other hand, the bulk density and organic matter content in soil can influence the water transport phenomena, resulting in decrease of the hydraulic conductivity as the increase in the bulk density, while the organic matter can not affect the hydraulic conductivity on the soil surface layer. For a rainfall infiltration characteristics from a lysimeter experiment established on the stand of Larix leptolepis, the bulk density and slope gradient strongly influenced the vertical transport of water, as well as the lateral movement of rainfall. Conclusively, the characteristics of water movement and distribution in the forest stand can be determined not by the geographical factor such as slope gradient but also by the bulk density and organic matter content remained in soils.

This study was conducted around the southwest sea areas of Jeju and coastal sea areas of China in August 2003 and September 2004 to research distribution patterns of dissolved inorganic nutrients, dissolved and particulate organic carbon. Distribution patterns of nutrients in the East China Sea in summer were shown to be influenced by water masses and phytoplankton. Water masses in the East China Sea in summer, except for coastal sea areas of china, showed less vertical mixing process, causing decline in the inflow of nutrients to surface water. Bottom water, however, showed high concentration, since nutrients made by dissolved organic matters from surface water were accumulated at the bottom. Sea areas with high concentration of chlorophyll a showed low concentration of nutrients and vice versa, indicating biological activities control dissolved inorganic nutrients. The distribution of dissolved organic carbon didn't show any correlation with salinity, temperatures, and water masses. Areas around the river mouth of the Changjiang showed high concentration of dissolved organic carbon more than $100{\mu}M$, but relatively low concentration in the southwest sea areas of Jeju, indicating that the river mouth of the Changjiang coastal water has a great influence on dissolved organic carbon in the East China Sea. Distribution patterns of particulate organic carbon in the research areas showed the highest concentration of average $9.23{\mu}M$ in coastal areas of China influenced by the river mouth of the Changjiang coastal water. By comparison, the concentration was relatively low at $3.04{\mu}M$ in the southeast sea areas of Jeju on which the Taiwan warm current has influence, and was $7.23{\mu}M$ in the central sea areas of Jeju. Thus, there is much indication that the river mouth of the Changjiang coastal water serves as a supplier of particulate organic carbon along with autogenous source. In general, if particulate organic carbon has a high correlation with the concentration of Chlorophyll a, it is thought that it is originated from autogenous source. However, the southeast sea areas of Jeju shows low salinity below 30, therefore it is proper to think that its origin is terrestrial source rather than that of autogenesis.

최근 들어 이상 강우 현상으로 인한 기록적인 집중 강우와 더불어 토지 이용 변화로 인해 탁수의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 강우 유출로 유입한 탁수는 저수지 내 장기간 체류하면서 하류 하천의 수질 및 수생태계 뿐만 아니라 저수지 내부의 영양단계에도 많은 영향을 준다. 특히, 성층화된 저수지의 경우 높은 영양염류 농도를 포함한 탁수는 밀도류 거동 특성을 보이면서 수평 및 수직 혼합 과정을 거치면서 국부적인 부영양화 현상과 조류의 수화 현상의 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서 대형 저수지의 수질관리에 있어 하천 유입 탁수의 밀도류 해석, 저수지의 수온 성층 구조 변화, 부유입자의 동력학적 해석이 중요한 요소로 부각되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 소양호를 연구 대상 지역으로 선정하여 2005년과 2007년 수문 사상을 바탕으로 2차원 횡방향 수치 모형을 구축하였다. 수치모형을 통해 수온 성층 구조의 재현성을 확인하였으며, 다양한 탁수 거동 모형을 구축하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 유입수의 SS(Suspended Solid)를 단일 입경으로 가정한 TM-1 모형, SS의 입경분포에 따라 3개의 그룹(SSi)으로 구분한 TM-2 모형, 3개 그룹을 포함하면서 저수지내 탁수 장기화로 인한 탁수 저감 효과를 1차 반응상수로 매개 변수화(유기물 함량($a_0$) ${\times}$ 분해속도(${\lambda}_a$))하여 수정된 지배방정식을 적용한 TM-3 모형을 사용하였다. 각각의 탁수 거동 모형은 2005년과 2007년 수문 조건에서 수온 성층 구조를 잘 재현하였다. TM-1 모형과 TM-2 모형을 비교해보면, 탁수 중심축의 최고 탁도에 대한 예측 성능은 TM-2 모형이 우수한 결과를 나타냈었다. 하지만, 장기 탁수 모의 시 저수지 수중 잔류 SS가 지속적으로 높게 나타나 중층 탁도를 과대평가하는 경향을 보였다. TM-3 모형이 TM-2 모형에 비해 수심별 탁도 분포에 대한 중심축 탁도가 저평가되는 경향을 보였지만 저수지 내 잔류 탁도에 대한 영향 부분에서는 개선된 결과를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과는 저수지 탁수 밀도류 해석 및 운영 시스템에 활용 될 수 있으며, 선택 취수 설비 등의 수리 구조물의 영향 평가에 활용할 수 있다.

In presence of a polymer, the crystallization of low MW organic materials can be stopped at an intermediary step, where mesocrystals can be identified. A mesocrystal is defined as a superstructure of nanoparticles having polymer-adsorbed crystal faces on the scale of several hundred nanometers to micrometers. This study examined the effects of water soluble polymers and relevant parameters on the formation of guanosine-5'-monophosphate mesocrystals. It was observed in OM and SEM that GMP obtained in a polymer solution had a unique particle morphology different from the typical one of GMP. XRD analysis indicated that the polymer-directed crystallized GMP had a different polymorph of GMP. This result shows that the crystal structure of GMP can be changed by polymers. It was observed in TGA analysis that the polymer-directed crystallized GMP had a different water content, indicating a different type of hydrate.

When the fresh water from the artificial lakes (Ganwolho and Bunamho) were discharged to Cheonsu Bay in summer to prevent the flood over the reclaimed farmland near the lakes, the impact on water qualities (nutrients, organic matters, trace metals) within the bay was investigated through four surveys (June, July, August and October, 2011). Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) increased about as much as 3-4 times over the whole water column when the freshwater was discharged. And the main species composition of DIN changed from ammonia to nitrate. Dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) decreased as much as 2 times in surface waters, but increased as much as 1.5 times in deep waters, and also silicate concentrations increased as much as 3-4 times in deep waters of the inner bay. The N/P ratios in Chunsu bay seawaters were much higher (2 to 7 times) than the Redfield ratio when the freshwaters were discharged, which indicated the phosphorus limiting in the phytoplankton growth. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (DON) increased as much as about 2 times. In addition, particulate organic matters (POC, PON, POP, Bio-Si) increased as much as above 2 times in the surface waters of the inner bay. Trace metals (Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) increased in the surface waters of the inner bay, but dissolved Cd concentrations decreased as much as 2 times. Therefore, when the contaminated fresh waters from the artificial lakes were discharged into the bay, nutrients, organic matters and trace metals generally increased compared to normal period. Since the phytoplankton bloom occurred in the surface waters of the inner bay, dissolved oxygens at the surface waters were oversaturated and hence hypoxic in the deep waters. Highly enriched nutrients concentrations were found in deep waters of the inner bay, which was accompanied with the hypoxic condition. Finally, the water quality in the inner bay of the Chunsu bay was deteriorated from less than grade 3 in normal periods to grade 5 when the freshwaters from the artificial lakes were discharged in summer.

This study aims to identify the cause of the red-water occurrence (the phenomenon of water being red) that occurs at some points and sections of rivers in Yongin City. As a result of conducting a preliminary investigation, total three sites were selected as the investigation point as it was found that the red-water occurrence continued. As a result of the investigation, it is judged that the cause of the red-water in Yongin-city river is due to the soil color and iron content of the region. JPS, SBS, and JJS sites all showed that the color of soil is mainly consist of reddish brown and red-yellow. The average Fe concentration was 13.75 mg/L, 10.85 mg/L, and 1.31 mg/L, for each sites, and considering that the Fe concentration in general river water was less than 0.5 mg/L, it was confirmed that the concentration was quite high. At the JPS and JJS points, the red-water occurrence occurred mainly in stagnant places, which is believed to be strengthened by the reaction of organic and microorganisms. In the case of SBS, the wateris red, but as a result of observing the actual color, it is judged that the iron component deposited in the pipe causes an optical illusion with a deep red color. In addition, it is believed that the iron concentration can be reduced to the general river water concentration range by removing the particulate iron component through a decrease of more than 95% as a result of filtering with glass fiber filter with particulate iron. As a result of this study, it is necessary to manage the river to maintain the flow, and it is believed that the occurrence of red-water at the survey point can be alleviated through uptake action through planting and agglomeration precipitation and agglomeration filtration methods for particulate iron treatment.

Swine wastewater contains high amounts of organic matter and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus). The biological nitrogen removal can be achieved by nitrification and denitrification processes. Nitrification-denitrification can be performed via nitrite which is called as the short-cut process. This Short-cut process saves up to 25% of oxygen and 40% of external carbon during nitrification and denitrification. In this study, the batch tests were conducted to assess the different parameters for the nitrite sulfur utilizing denitrification, such as alkalinity, temperature, initial nitrite concentration, and dissolved oxygen. The experimental results showed that the nitrite removal efficiency of the reactor was found to be over 95% under the optimum condition ($30^{\circ}C$ and sufficient alkalinity). Autotrophic nitrate denitrification was inhibited at low alkalinity condition showing only 10% removal efficiency, while nitrite denitrification was achieved over 95%. The nitrite removal rates were found similar at both $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. In addition, nitrite removal efficiencies were inhibited by increasing oxygen concentration, but sulfate concentration increased due to sulfur oxidation under an aerobic condition. Sulfate production and alkalinity consumption were decreased with nitrite compared those with nitrate.

종래의 산업폐수 처리기술로는 중금속 함유 폐수에 수용성의 금속염을 첨가하여 가성소다 혹은 소석회를 이용하여 pH를 조정하고 고분자 응집제를 첨가하여 금속의 수산화물을 생성시켜 이를 부상 혹은 침전시켜 Sludge화하여 제거하는 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 그 외 질소, 인, 유기물이 함유된 폐수의 경우에는 Biological Oxidation Techniques, 활성탄 흡착방식이 주로 채택되고 있다.[1-3] 이러한 폐수처리기술은 화학약품 사용량이 과다하고 이는 Sludge 생성량을 증대하고 2차 폐수처리가 필요로 하는 경우가 많고, 처리장이 면적이 넓어야 하고 대용량의 Sludge 제거창치가 필요하여 고비용의 처리공정으로 문제점을 가지고 있다.[2-3] 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존 기술의 문제점을 보완할 수 있고 기존 기술로는 완벽하게 처리하기 곤란한 악성 폐수들에 대한 새로운 고도처리기술로 초전도 마그네트를 이용한 고구배 자기분리기술에 대한 기초연구를 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 고구배 자기분리 시스템은 무헬륨 전도냉각방식으로 자기분리를 위해 사용한 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 메쉬 형태로 제작하여 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리 처리를 위한 전처리 공정으로는 응집제를 첨가하여 자기분리 효율을 높이고자 하였다. 자기분리 처리대상수로는 포항제철에 압연 강판에 사용되는 냉각수를 대상으로 자기분리 처리에 대한 효과를 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리에 대한 특성을 평가하기 위해 강자성의 $Fe_3O_4$ 미세자성분말을 첨가하여 처리수내의 들어있는 유기물질에 대해 자기분리 자장 및 유속에 대한 처리효율을 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자기분리 처리는 1~6 Tesla에서 자기필터는 디스크 형태로 다층으로 연속적으로 적층하였으며, 처리유속은 1~4 l/min으로 하였다. 고농도인 처리폐수를 자가분리 인가 자장에 따라 처리하여 고농도에서는 70%, 저농도에서는 98 %까지 처리되었다. 또한, 자기분리용 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 mesh 망을 사용하였으며 인가자장 및 유속변화에 대한 실험 결과 탁도 및 농도는 필터 크기의 영향은 거의 차이가 없었으며 단지 인가자장 및 유속에 따라서 지수적으로 감소하였다. 자기분리된 용액 내 $Fe_3O_4$ 입도 분석 결과 자기분리 이전에 분포하던 $10\sim20\;{\mu}m$의 입자는 거의 제거되었으며 2 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 입자들은 실험 횟수에 따라 점점 직경이 작은 쪽으로 분포가 좁아졌으며, 마그네타이트의 자화율을 분석한 결과 약 0.8 Tesla에서 포화 되었으며 처리수의 탁도 및 농도가 자장에 따라 감소하는 것으 알 수 있었다.

In order to observe the lasting effect of NK-compound mineral fertilizer and organic compound fertilizer including Myweon organic liquid fertilizer, a pot experiment was conducted with rice (Oriza Sativa) variety: Nong Back. These fertilizers were applied as basal and the same amount of urea form of nitrogen was top dressed about a month after transplanting, July seventh, 1977. Results obtained are as follows; 1. The lasting effect of various fertilizers were laid in following decreasing order; Myweon liquid < Organic compound fertilizer (Myweon coop. made) > NK-compound fertilizer (Chosun coop. made) Single fertilizer. It was considered that organic matter served as microbial feed and lead a temporary fixation of available plant nutrients in the soil, and the reduced surface area of the compound fertilizers slowed down the availability of the fertilizers. 2. The fertilizer showing greater lasting effect produced more panicles per hill and less grains per panicle than the fertilizers showing less lasting effect, and brought low maturity, which resulted in low paddy yield the paddy producing efficiency of nitrogen absorbed by straw was also low in the former fertilizers. Such advanced effect of the former fertilizer was considered to be related with the variety of early maturity and unseasonable topdressing of fertilizer which made at the maximum tillering stage. 3. For the production of Japonica type paddy with heavy fertilization which may required to depress the early growth a little and promote the late growth, it might be necessary to develop slow releasing fertilizers such as single fertilizer formulated to a large grains or compound fertilizer containing organic matter. 4. If the nitrogen content of paddy, Nong Back, far excess 0.64 or 0.65% and reaches 0.68% or above, the yield of the variety seemed to be decreased remarkbly through the low maturity rate and thousand grain weight.
