Due to economic impairment derived from metal corrosion of pumping station installed around coastal area, it was needed for related cause-effect to be investigated for understanding practical corrosion behavior and providing proper control. This research was thus carried out to determine whether the microbe can influence on metal corrosion along with its control in the laboratory. For this study, groundwater was sampled from the underground pump station(i.e. I Gas Station) where corrosion was observed. Microbial diversity on the samples were then obtained by 16S rDNA methods. From this, microbial populations showing corrosion behaviors against metals were reported as Leptothrix sp.(Iron oxidizing) and Desulfovibrio sp.(Sulfur reducing) Iron oxidizing bacteria were dominantly participating in the corrosion of iron, while sulfate reducing bacteria were more preferably producing precipitate of iron. In case of galvanized steel and stainless steel, iron oxidizing bacteria not only enhanced the corrosion, but also generated its scale of precipitate. Sulfate reducing bacteria had zinc steel corroded greater extent than that of iron oxidizing bacteria. In the inactivation test, chlorine or UV exposure could efficiently control bacterial growth. However as the inactivation intensity being increased beyond a threshold level, corrosion rate was unlikely escalated due to augmented chemical effect. It is decided that microbial corrosion could be differently taken place depending upon type of microbes or materials, although they were highly correlated. It could be efficiently retarded by given disinfection practices.

Iron oxide (hematite, $\alpha$-${Fe}_{2}{O}_{3}$) particles were prepared directly from aqueous solution using a crystal growth controller. Paticles properties and reaction mechanisum of products as a function of basicity, formation process and mechanism of needle-lkie hematite were investigated. hexagonal hermatite particles were formed in teh range below pH 9.0, ellipsoidal or rectangular hematite particles in the range of pH 10.75-11.75 respectively. In the range above pH 12.50, acicular $\alpha$-FeOOH was formed. Basicity of product solution produced in the range of pH 10.7511.75 was increased slightly as compared with basicity of reastants due to hydroxly ion(OH-) formed by dissociation crystal growth controller. Citric acid which is acted as a crystal growth controller was adsorbed in the form of itrate anion(R-COO-) on the ferric hydroxide and exerted important role on the formation to the needle-like $\alpha$-${Fe}_{2}{O}_{3}$ particles in this reaction system.

Iron oxide produced form the pickling process at the cold rolling mill in iron & steelmaking industry, use for raw material of electronic an colorant product. Recently, decreasing of the chlorine content in iron oxide is demanded at the market. In this study, under the field test of the spray roaster and the screw conveyer for dechlorination, the experiments of the chlorine content in iron oxide were investigated. From the results of experiment, the chlorine content in iron oxide can be reduced to 1,100 ppm from the spray roaster and, 383 ppm from the screw conveyer.

원전 운전 중 2차계통 구성재료가 부식되어 철 산화물이 증기발생기 내부로 유입된다. 유입된 철산화물은 고온고압의 환경에서 침적되어 슬러지가 된다. 침적된 슬러지는 증기발생기 전열관 재료에 응력부식균열(SCC)을 일으키는 주원인으로 원전에서는 철 산화물의 유입을 최소화하기 위해 기동전 2차계통을 순환 세정하고 있다. 해외 원전에서는 고분자 아크릴산(Polyacrylic Acid)을 순환세정시 주입함으로써 2차계통 철 산화물 제거 효율을 높인 사례가 있었다. 이에 우리 원전에서도 기동전 순환세정시 고분자 아크릴산을 주입 적용하였다. 고분자 아크릴산 주입 전 필수적으로 이뤄져야할 연구는 고분자 아크릴산이 재료에 미치는 영향평가이다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 아크릴산 농도(1, 10, 100 ppm)에 따라 2차계통 구성재료인 SA106 Gr.B와 Alloy 690의 건전성에 미치는 영향를 수행하였다. 평가방법으로는 전기화학 분극실험, 시편을 침지시켜 실험 전, 후 무게 감량을 이용한 부식률 측정, 표면 상태분석등을 이용하여 종합적으로 평가하였다. 전기화학 분극실험과 부식률 측정결과, 고분자 아크릴산 농도가 높을수록 부식은 증가하였고 고분자 아크릴산 농도 100 ppm일 때 최대 부식률이 0.037 mils로 계산되었다. 이는 부식허용 기준치(5.8 mils)보다는 100배이상 낮았으며 표면분석 결과 고분자 아크릴산으로 인한 pitting 부식은 발생하지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과로 기동시 환경에서 고분자 아크릴산 농도 100 ppm까지는 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 판단된다.

In situ permeable reactive barrier (PRB) technologies have been proposed to reductively remove organic contaminants from the subsurface environment. The major reactive material, zero valent iron ($Fe^0$), is oxidized to ferrous iron or ferric iron in the barriers, resulting in the decreased reactivity. Iron-reducing bacteria can reduce ferric iron to ferrous iron and iron reduced by these bacteria can be applied to dechlorinate chlorinated organic contaminants. Iron reduction by iron reducing bacteria, Shewanella algae BrY, was observed both in aqueous and solid phase and the enhancement of TCE removal by reduced iron was examined in this study. S. algae BrY preferentially reduced Fe(III) in ferric citrate medium and secondly used Fe(III) on the surface of iron oxides as an electron acceptor. Reduced iron formed reactive materials such as green rust ferrihydrite, and biochemical precipitation. These reactive materials formed by the bacteria can enhance TCE removal rate and removal capacity of the reactive barrier in the field.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of Fe and Mn oxides coated granular activated carbons (FMOCGs) for the removal of arsenite and arsenate by oxidation and adsorption mechanisms using surface characterization and batch adsorption experiments. Within four manufactured adsorbents, Fe and Mn contents of FMOCG-1 was the highest (178.12 mg Fe/g and 11.25 mg Mn/g). In kinetic results, As(III) was removed by oxidation and adsorption with FMOCGs. Removal of arsenic by FMOCGs increased as pH value of the solution decreased. The adsorption isotherm results were well fitted with Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption amount of As(V) onto FMOCGs was higher than that of As(III) and the maximum adsorption capacities of FMOCGs for As(III) and As(V) were 1.38~8.44 mg/g and 2.91~9.63 mg/g, respectively.

코발트 보호막 코팅이 적용된 페라이트계 스테인리스 스틸인 STS 430과 STS 444 소재에 대해 고체산화물 연료전지용 금속연결재로서의 고온 산화 특성에 대해 살펴보았다. 코발트 코팅층은 $800^{\circ}C$ 고온 산화 후 코발트 산화물 및 $Co_2CrO_4$, $CoCr_2O_4$, $CoCrFeO_4$ 등과 같은 코발트가 함유된 스피넬 상을 형성하였다. 또한 페라이트계 스테인리스 스틸과 코발트 코팅의 계면에서 크롬과 철이 함유된 치밀한 산화층을 형성하여 금속연결재 표면의 스케일 성장속도를 감소시키고 금속연결재 내에 함유된 크롬의 외부 확산을 효과적으로 억제하였다. 한편 STS 430은 고온 산화 후 표면에 형성된 스케일 하부에 $SiO_2$와 같은 내부 산화물이 형성된 반면 STS 444는 표면 스케일 이외에 다른 내부 산화물은 확인되지 않았으며 고온에서의 면저항 측정 결과, 코발트가 코팅된 STS 444의 전기 전도성이 STS 430 보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
