This study attempted to find a proper method applicable to simulating practical equifield lines of two-dimensional Accelerate Lithium Migration Technique (ALMT), and evaluate the feasibility of using the theoretical ion migration model of one-dimensional ALMT to predict the ion migration behavior of two-dimensional ALMT. The result showed that the electrolyte or carbon plate can be used as matrix to draw equifield line graph similar to that by using mortar as matrix. Using electrolyte electrode module for simulation has advantages of simple production, easy measurement, rapidness, and economy. The electrolyte module can be used to simulate the equifield line distribution diagram in practical two-dimensional electrode configuration firstly. Then, several equifield line zones were marked, and several subzones under one-dimensional ALMT were separated from various equifield line zones. The theoretical free content distribution of alkali in concrete under two-dimensional electric field effect could be obtained from duration analysis.

This study investigated four electric field configurations of two-dimensional accelerate lithium migration technique (ALMT), including line-to-line, plane-to-line, contour-to-line and plane-to-plane, and analyzed the ion migration behavior and efficiency. It was found that the free ion distribution diagram and voltage distribution diagram were similar, and ions migrated in the power line direction. The electrode modules were used for the mortar specimen with w/c ratio of 0.5. The effectively processed areas accounted for 14.1%, 39.0%, 49.4% and 51.4% of total area respectively on Day 28. Larger electrode area was more advantageous to ion migration. In addition, it was proved that the two-dimensional electric field could be divided into different equifield line active regions, and regarded as affected by one-dimensional electric field, and the ion migration results in various equifield line active regions were predicted by using the duration analysis method based on the theoretical model of ion migration obtained from one-dimensional test.

친환경 제방 건설 소재로 연구되고 있는 바이오폴리머는 토양의 강도 증진 효과가 알려져 있으나, 아직 식생에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 토양의 aluminum (Al) 스트레스 조건에서 잔탄검 (xanthan gum) 혼합에 따른 Camelina sativa L. (Camelina)의 뿌리 생장을 분석하였다. Al 스트레스 조건과 더불어 xanthan gum 0.05% 혼합구에서 생육한 Camelina가 비혼합구보다 뿌리 생장이 증가하였다. 같은 조건에서 aluminum activated malate transporter 1 (ALMT1) 유전자 발현이 xanthan gum 혼합구 및 비혼합구에서 모두 유도되었지만, xanthan gum 혼합구가 비혼합구보다 낮은 수준의 발현을 보여주었다. 추가적으로 용액에서 xanthan gum과 Al 이온의 결합을 확인하였으며, morin 염색과 ICP-OES 분석을 통해 Camelina 뿌리의 Al 함량을 측정한 결과 xanthan gum 혼합구에서 비혼합구 보다 뿌리의 Al 함량이 낮았다. 이러한 결과들은 xanthan gum과 Al 결합으로 인해 뿌리의 피해를 감소시키고 궁극적으로 식물의 생존 및 생육에 긍정적 효과를 미치는 것으로 보인다.
