This review investigated theoretical principals and practical application examples on recirculation system of soil washing-wastewater treatment-treated water recycling. As for technologies which have attempted to remediating metals-contaminated soil in and around country, there are reactive barriers, encapsulation, solidification/stabilization, soil washing, and phytoremediation. Among those, in particular, this review covers soil washing technology which physicochemically removes contaminants from soils. The major drawbacks of this technology are to generate a large amount of wastewater which contains contaminants complexed with ligands of washing solution and needs additional treatment process. To solve these problems, many chemical treatment methods have been developed as follows: precipitation/coprecipitation, membrane filtration, adsorption treatment, ion exchange, and electrokinetic treatment. In the last part of the review, recent research and field application cases on soil washing wastewater treatment and recycling were introduced. Based on these integrated technologies, it could be achieved to solve the problem of soil washing wastewater and to enhance cost effective process by reducing total water resources use in soil washing process.

In this study, microscopic observation was made on the surface of cement paste immersed in an aquatic environment for 100 days at electrochemical treatment to mitigate the leaching of alkali ions. To quantitatively rank the hydration products, unhydrated grains and porosity in the interfacial region, the backscattered electron(BSE) images were obtained by scanninng electron microscopy. As a result, it was found that the porosity on the surface was significantly reduced by the electrochemical treatment, while unhydrated grains were more or less increased presumably limited hydration reaction under electric charge. At electrochemical treatment, Ca²⁺ ions present in C-S-H gel could be precipitated with OH^- to form Ca(OH)₂ then to lower C-S-H gel and simultaneously to enhance Ca(OH)₂. Substantially, the risk of alkali leaching could be lowered by the limited ionized matrix under electrochemical treatment.

BACKGROUND: In this study, in order to verify the effects of supplemented organic amendment fertilizers recommended by the soil testing on cabbages, we used various amounts of organic amendment fertilizers. The amount of organic amendment fertilizers was decided by calculating each ratio of inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium based on the recommended fertilizer composition. METHODS AND RESULTS: The cabbages subjected to treatments 1 and 2 showed similar or greater leaf colors (SPAD values), head heights, head widths, head weight, soil organic matter content, nitrate-nitrogen level, and conductivity after harvest, when compared with cabbages treated with chemical fertilizers. The phosphorus and potassium fixation in the soil were higher in the plot where cabbages were treated with chemical fertilizers, and the nutrient use efficiency was greater in the plots with organic amendments and mineral addition. CONCLUSION: The treatments 1 and 2 that were supplemented with 180-200% of nitrogen, 100-130% of phosphorus, and 185-250% of potassium in comparison to chemical fertilizers, applied by the inorganic ratios of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be used as organic amendment fertilizers for cabbages.

The use of slurry with a mix of abrasives and coolant for making Wire Saw in the photovoltaic industry has sharply increased with the semiconductor wafer. In this paper, the slurry was isolated, purified and dried by microwave drying method with high-purity silicon carbide powder obtained through chemical processing. Dried slurry bulk was first pulverized and chemical treatment was applied to produce powder. The produced slurry powder was then analyzed by going through the following analysis; thermal analysis, particle size analyses: SEM shots, elemental analysis, XRF and XRD. The results of this study found the recovery rate of the power obtained though the chemical processing to be higher than the one obtained from mineral processing. The results anticipate infrastructure building and active responses to increasingly stronger domestic and international environmental regulations through the integration and recycling of large amounts of slurry in the photovoltaic industry.

‘Fuji’ apples were treated by gamma irradiation (0 - 3 kGy) or methyl bromide fumigation at commercial conditions (MeBr, 26 g/kg, 4 hr) for quarantine purposes at two different treatment timing after harvest and stored under air at 0$^{\circ}C$ for 4 months. Associated with the treatment timing of irradiation or fumigation, after 40 days of storage at 0$^{\circ}C$ following harvest was more adequate than immediately after harvest in keeping qualities of stored apples. However, more than 2 kGy irradiation and MeBr fumigation were detrimental to physiological and chemical qualities of the fruits. These results show that less than 1 kGy irradiation at the delayed timing has a possibility to be applied as a quarantine procedure without significant changes in the quality of apples.

For the study of possibility of practical use as an organic farm materials of the mixtures with lignite and amino acid solution, this experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of the mixtures on the growth and the yield of rice plant, chinese cabbage, and red pepper, and the effects of the mixtures on chemical properties of soil. Also, when the mixtures of the lignite plus amino acid solution and the chemical fertilizer were applied to these three crop cultivation area, authors want to know how can the loss in quantity of chemical fertilizer affects the growth and the yield of these crops. As the results, growth of rice plant applied with the mixtures of lignite and amino acid solution was better than that applied with the recommended rate of chemical fertilizer. Especially, the growth of rice plant appeared to be good at the treatment of 150 kg/ha of the mixed lignite with amino acid solution and at that of its mixtures and standard fertilization. Growth of chinese cabbage and red pepper was good at the application of 600 kg/ha of the mixed lignite with amino acid solution and at that of its mixtures and standard fertilization. Yield of rice and chinese cabbage was good at the treatment of 150 kg/ha of the mixed lignite with amino acid solution and at that of its mixtures and standard fertilization, and yield of red pepper was good at the application of 600 kg/ha of the mixed lignite with amino acid solution and at that of its mixtures and standard fertilization. The organic matter content increased and while the exchangeable cation decreased when the lignite mixed with amino acid solution and the loss in quantity of chemical fertilizer applied at paddy field. Incase of these treatments, pH and available phosphorus increase at upland field, but did not change at paddy field.

오스테나이트계 스테인리스강의 기계적 특성 향상을 위해 열화학적 표면처리 방법으로 공정 후 재료의 변형이 없고 친환경적인 플라즈마 이온질화 기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 대략 $450^{\circ}C$이하에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 시 S상이라 불리는 expanded austenite 생성에 기인하여 내식성이 향상시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이전의 연구 결과 증류수, HCl, $H_2SO_4$ 등의 실험 용액에 따라 동일한 공정 온도에 대하여 다른 부식 특성을 나타냈으며, 내식성이 확보되는 온도 또한 다른 결과를 얻었다. 이처럼 적용 환경에 따라 다른 부식 경향을 보이고 있으나, 해양 환경에 사용될 해수에서의 부식 저항성에 대한 명확한 규명은 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 해양환경에 보편화되어 있는 오스테나이크계 스테인리스강을 선정하여 다양한 온도에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 후 전기화학실험을 통해 온도 변화에 따른 부식 특성을 분석하였다. 플라즈마 이온질화는 25% 질소와 75% 수소의 비율로 $350{\sim}500^{\circ}C$의 온도 조건에서 10시간 동안 처리하였다. 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 후 마이크로 경도 계측과 X-선 회절(X-ray diffraction, XRD) 분석을 통해 온도 변화에 따른 금속 표면에 형성된 질화물의 기계적 조직학적 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 모재 및 다양한 온도에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리된 재료에 대하여 $2{\times}2cm$(노출면적 $1cm^2$) 시편을 제작하여 전기화학적 부식 실험을 수행하여 부식 특성을 상호 비교 분석하였다. 전기화학적 부식 실험은 침적실험, 동전위 양극 음극 분극 실험을 실시하여 전위 변화에 따른 전류밀도 추이를 분석하여 부식 경향을 파악하였다. 그리고 전기화학 실험 후 손상부의 SEM 관찰과 손상 깊이 분석 및 무게 감소량 계측을 통한 종합적인 분석을 통해 온도-부식 경향의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 또한 분극 실험 후 타펠 외삽법으로 부식전위와 부식전류밀도를 구하여 미처리된 재료 및 플라즈마 이온질화 온도 변화에 따른 상대적 부식 속도를 예측하였다.

The cell of Kluyveromyces fragilis yeast, which is worthy of an algal substitute, was disrupted by a chemical treatment to increase the digestion of filter-feeders that yeasts are fed to. The optimum conditions of the chemical treatment were obtained by incubating yeasts at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for one hour after treated by 1 M of Na$_{2}$-EDTA that was dissolved in 0.2 M of Tris-buffer and by 0.3 m of 2-mercaptoethanol. The percentage of protop[last production was about 30%. The percentage could be doubled by the pretreatment of three times of 30 seconds sonication.

금속 나노구조체에서의 localized surface plasmon resonance와 surface-enhanced Raman scattering 현상은 센서를 비롯한 다양한 응용분야를 가지고 있다. 나노구조체 array 형성을 위한 대표적인 top-down 방식인 e-beam lithography 공정은 제조비용이 매우 높고 대량생산 및 대면적화에도 한계가 있기에 polystyrene(PS) bead의 self-assembly를 이용한 nanosphere lithography와 같은 bottom-up 방식이 폭넓게 연구되고 있다. Closed-packing된 PS bead의 monolayer를 얻기 위해서는 기판의 친수성 처리가 필요한데, 기존의 많은 연구에서는 기판의 표면개질에 화학적 공정을 이용하고 있다. 하지만 이는 기판 선택의 자유도를 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 금속이나 실리콘 기판에서는 산성 용액을 이용한 화학적 처리방법을 적용할 수 있지만 SU-8과 같은 감광액 및 폴리머 기판에서는 산에 대한 내구성이 떨어져 화학적 공정의 도입이 불가능 하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위해 $UV-O_3$ 공정으로 친수성 처리된 다양한 기판에서 spin coating을 통한 PS monolayer를 제조하였는데, UV 램프의 에너지 조절을 통해 기판에 붙어있는 유기물들을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었고 $O_3$ 생성 및 분해 과정에서 기판 표면에 친수성 화학 작용기를 생성시킬 수 있었다. 제조된 PS layer를 mask로 사용하여 Ag, Al, Au 등 다양한 나노구조체 array를 형성하여 array 주기에 따른 플라즈몬 공명 특성을 분석하였다. 레이저 조사로 나노구조체의 형상을 변화시킴으로써 동일한 물질과 주기를 가진 array에서도 플라즈몬 특성의 변조가 가능함을 확인하였는데, 이는 금속 나노구조체의 응용측면에서 매우 고무적인 발견이다.
