오염된 토양이나 지하수에 존재하는 중금속을 고정화시키기 위한 소스로 세 가지 종류의 뼈를 검토해보았다. 뼈 속에 있는 여러 종류의 calcium phosphate를 XPS로 분석한 결과, $Ca_8H_2(PO_4)_6.5H_2O$(octa-Calcium Phosphate)가 공통적으로 들어 있었고, 참치 뼈에는 유일하게 유기물 형태의 인이 들어 있었다. 증류수를 이용한 실험에서 뼈 속의 인산염은 액상에 쉽게 용출되기 때문에 중금속 고정화에 중요한 소스가 될 수 있다는 것을 알았다.

The total global emission of $CO_2$ from soils is recognized as one of the largest fluxes in the global carbon cycle. Especially it is necessary to quantify the amount of $CO_2$ emitted by the organic material decomposition processes of microorganisms in the soil, because it becomes one of a factor for determining the carbon stocks in the soil. This study was conducted to estimate the impact of the Korean water deer(Hydropotes inermis)' feces to the soil organic matter. Also, effects of Korean water deer' feces on $CO_2$ emissions of soil and land use pattern dependent $CO_2$ flux quantification are studied. The organic materials in the Korean water deer' feces significantly changed organic matter content of soil and influenced the activity of soil microorganisms, both changing of respiration of the soil and physical chemical components in soil. In particular, C/N ratio and the $CO_2$ flux of soil of four regions (Rice paddy, Fallow ground, Salix koreensis community, Phragmites australis community) showed a statistically highly significant correlation (P<0.01) with the presence or absence of feces. $CO_2$ flux of soil affected by the feces was 2-20 times higher than the soil unaffected by the feces. This study has great significance to quantify the extent of the material circulation and its impact to the terrestrial ecosystem and soil zone throughout Korean water deer' feces. Feces of wildlife can affect soil and soil material circulation.

Field investigations for subsurface soil and groundwater at a gas station showed that the site was severely contaminated and even petroleum compounds as free liquid state were observed. Pilot-scale soil flushing and soil vapor extraction process(SVE) were applied to evaluate the effectiveness of pollutants removal. Surfactant solution, Tween 80, was used to enhance the solubility of petroleum compounds and resulted in about 10 times increase on TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) concentration. As for SVE method, maximum concentration of TPH and BTEX reached within 24 hours of extraction and then continuously decreased. Considerations on the groundwater level and the kinetic limitation for volatilization of contaminants have to be taken into account for the effective application of SVE process.

This paper has been made for the soil micro-morphological study of Sirye series. The results are summarized as follows: 1. By high biological activity, soil materials are mixed. Pedotubules and Fecal pellets pedological features are formed by this activity. 2. There are no strong illuviation cutans. The formation of dirty cutans (new cutans) are due to sedimentation in furrow. 3. The relatively thick crystallization of goethite in plane voids are formed. 4. The lower parts of this soils are influenced by hydromorphology. 5. B3 horizon may be buried A horizon, containing the fragments of upper horizons.

The consumption of atmospheric carbon monoxide by soil was measured under laboratory conditions in different types of soils. Laboratory experiments were performed with humus containing high proportion of organic matter, roadside soils, and humus and roadside soils previously exposed to high concentration of CO by reusing in the experiment. CO concentrations in the 18.2 l-reaction vessel were varied from 2,000 ppm to 24,000ppm to estimate the effectiveness of CO consumption at high level of CO. The uptake of CO by soil was measured by gas chromatography using a TCD detector. The control experiments conducted along with the soil experiments evidently indicated that the potting soil is responsible for CO consumption. Humus showed much higher CO uptake rates compared with the soil taken from roadside. The humus reused in the experiment showed somewhat higher rates(15%) of uptake than the fresh one. The soil's ability to remove CO from the test atmosphere reached a maximum near the CO concentration of 13,000 ppm in the range of $9,000~24,000ppm$. The addition of streptomycin did not influence the removal capacity of soil significantly, whereas 10% saline solution remarkably prevented CO uptake of the humus sample.

For the purpose of development of bioremediation technology for soil contaminated by chlorinated phenols, this study was focused on the isolation and characterization of bacteria capable of degrading chlorinated phenols, the establishment of analytical methods for chlorinated phenols, and the investigation of the contaminated sites. One site near the Incheon Industrial Complex was identified as a pentachlorophenol (PCP)-contaminated spot. The soil brought from the PCP-contaminated site contained 10-100$mu\textrm{g}$/g wet soil of PCP. Many bacterial strains capable of growing on a minimal medium containing PCP were isolated from 15 soil samples collected throughout the land, and among them, 10 active isolates were finally selected for the further studies on the biodegradability and for the use in in situ bioremediation of contaminated soil. These isolates showed species-specific pattern in PCP-decrease and cell growth in a minimal medium containing 500-1,000mg/ιPCP. Strain Bul degraded 90% of PCP at 216 hrs after incubation. Expecially, strain Bu34 was capable of degrading 4,000mg/ι PCP and was identified as Pseudomonas putida Bu34. It is seemed that the isolated active bacteria could be effectively used for the bioremediation of PCP-contaminated sites.

This study was performed to evaluate the long-term teachability of the stabilized hexavalent chromium contaminated soils treated with chromium reducing agent and soluble phosphate. The study shows that $Cr^{6+}$ in the leachate was little detected and the remaining $PO_4-P$ concentration kept below 0.1 mg/L due to the formation of geochemically stable hexavalent chromium phosphate minerals from the reactions of labile soil $Cr^{6+}$ forms with the added soluble phosphate salt and chromium reducing agent. The results provide evidence for the potential use of the immobilization technique for the hexavalent chromium contaminated soil remediation in the near future.

In 2017, Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) has excavated a trench at Yongjang-li in the city of Gyeongju to examine the evidence of fault movement related with the 2016 earthquake in unconsolidated sediments. In the trench profile, the author has observed the features of ongoing soil-forming processes and groundwater movement overlapped on the sedimentary layers. The soil formation was in its initial stage, and most of the original sedimentary layers could be observed. The color changes depending on the redox conditions and by the Mn/Fe oxide precipitation, however, were the most significant features obscuring sedimentary records. The dark Mn oxide precipitates formed at the groundwater levels often concealed the sedimentary unit boundaries. The groundwater levels varied depending on the particle sizes of the sedimentary layers contacting the groundwater, and the Mn oxide precipitates have formed at varying depths. The groundwater could move upward along the narrow pores in the fine-textured sedimentary layer more than a few meters showing the gray color indicating a reducing condition for iron.
