  • 조절하천의 낙동강에서 겪고 있는 부영양화와 조류 대발생(유해남조의 녹조현상 및 담수적조)은 국내외적으로 가장 급속하게 확대되고 있는 수질문제이며, 다양한 집단에서 지대한 관심을 가지게 한 분야 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 2013년 1월부터 2017년 7월까지 낙동강의 8개 보 pools에서 주요 수질 환경요인을 주 간격으로 조사하였고, 우점조류와 상호 관련성을 비교 분석하였다. 연강수량은 2016년(보 평균 940.7 mm)에 많았고, 2015년(672.8 mm)에 적었다. 장마 폭염기 (6~9월) 강우는 총강수량의 48.1%이었고, 상 하류간에 차이가 컸다. 총방류량 중 소수력발전, 월류 및 어도가 차지하는 비율은 각각 37.4%, 60.1%, 2.5%로서 홍수기를 제외하고 발전방류에 의한 비중이 매우 컸다. 방류량은 대부분 유입량에 비례하였으나, 취수량이 집중되는 보에서 다른 양상도 관찰되었다. 이것은 수위강하, 물 교환율과 연관되었고, 유해남조와 담수적조의 대발생에 심각한 영향을 초래하였다. 수온과 DO 농도의 변화는 기상 수문학적 영향이 지배적이었는데, 온도변화 뿐만 아니라 강우의 특성에 따라 변화 양상이 포착되었다. Chl-a의 평균 농도 (최대값)는 SAJ~GAJ와 DAS~HAA구간에서 각각 $17.6mg\;m^{-3}$ ($98.2mg\;m^{-3}$), $29.6mg\;m^{-3}$ ($193.6mg\;m^{-3}$)이었고, 하수의 영향이 절대적인 하류부에서 증가하는 경향이 현저하였다. 우점조류의 분류군 조성은 총 48속으로 규조 14속, 남조 8속, 녹조 18속 및 편모조 8속으로 각각 구성되었다. 유해 녹조현상과 담수적조의 주요 원인조류는 각각 남조 Microcystis와 규조 Stephanodiscus 개체군이었다.

  • 마산-진해만에서 1996년 1월부터 1997년 8월까지 영양염류, 용존산소, 해수 투명도 등 수질의 부영양화 요인과 식물플랑크톤 생물량의 수직변동, 공간분포 및 계절변동 등을 조사하였다. 식물플랑크톤은 4월부터 10월까지 번무하였으며, 이 기간에는 편모조류가 단독으로 발생하거나 여러 종이 혼합 발생하는 등 매우 역동적인 양상을 보였다. 식물플랑크톤 대발생 시기에는 염분이 감소하였고, 편모조류의 번무로 수색이 변하거나 물의 투명도가 떨어졌다. 여름에 하층은 빈산소상태였으나 상층은 산소의 과포화상태로서 상 하층에 용존산소의 성층화가 형성되었고, 그 구배가 컸다. 반면 겨울에는 영양염류의 수직 분포가 균일하였고, 마산 내만에서 진해 외만에 걸쳐 영양염류의 수평적 구배가 발달하였다. 마산-진해만 수질은 여름에는 저질 퇴적층에서 용출되는 영양염류의 영향을 많이 받았으나, 겨울에는 마산시와 창원시 등 주변 집수역에서 유입되는 오 폐수의 영향을 주로 받는 것으로 추정되었다. 과거 마산-친해만 일원의 수질 분석 자료를 수집하여 마산만 돌섬과 부도 사이의 수질을 연 평균값으로 표준화시킨 결과, COD와 $PO_4$가 비교 가능하였다. 1970년부터 1990년까지 마산만에서 COD와 $PO_4$ 농도는 점진적으로 증가하였으나, 1991년 이후 다소 둔화되거나 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 1991년부터 1994년까지 마산 내만에서 행한 저질 퇴적층의 준설이 이 지역의 수질 악화를 다소 완화시킨 것으로 추정된다.

  • 본 연구노트는 우리나라의 원천기술로서 개발된 녹조제거용 특수선박을 소개하고자 하였다. 녹조제거용 특수선박은 +자형으로서 크게 선박 본체와 탈부착 가능한 보조체로 구성되어 있다. 선박의 특징은 초경량 및 저홀수이다. 주요 세부장치는 흡입장치, 집수장치, 여과장치 및 수집장치의 4가지로 구성되어 있다. 이 중에서 여과장치는 스크린 필터(망목크기 30${\mu}m$)를 사용하였고 압축에어 분사작용에 의해 물과 녹조를 순수 분리 및 제거할 수 있다. 농축된 녹조입자의 함수율은 85%이었다. 최종적으로 녹조와 분리된 물은 하천과 저수지의 공공수역으로 배출된다. Chlorophyll-$\alpha$ 농도로 비교한 제거효율은 약 57% (유입수 83.2 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, 배출수 35.8 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$)이었고, 향후 녹조제거장치의 효율성 제고와 기술적 향상을 위해 다양한 조건(조류 생물량, 유량 등)에서 효과분석을 수행할 필요가 있다. 다발성 녹조발생 우심지역을 효과적으로 관리하고, 저수지 하류수역으로 확산을 방지하는 녹조현상의 사전예방체제 구축에 기여하고자 하였다.

  • Algal chlorophyll-$\alpha$ is commonly determined by spectro-photometric method using 90% acetone as solvents. However, acetone has low extraction efficiency without grinding filters, and DMF (dimethyl formamide) was tested for the compatibility with acetone. Chlorophyll-$\alpha$ concentration was determined for samples from 5 reservoirs of different trophic states and phytoplankton composition, using acetone extraction with grinding and DMF without grinding. Chlorophyll-$\alpha$ measured by DMF and Acetone did not show a significant difference when using trichromatic method of UNESCO and Lorenzen, and therefore, DMF can substitute acetone. But when acidification method was applied, they showed significant difference of 8%. It can be concluded that DMF can extract chlorophylls more effectively without grinding and it can be a better alternative for the standard extraction solvent.

  • In situ extraction by organic solvent was studied in order to improve the recovery yield of hydrocarbon from the culture of Botryococcus braunii, a green colonial microalga. When the solvent mixture of octanol as an extractive solvent and n-octane as a biocompatible solvent was added to a two-phase column, the algal growth was seriously inhibited, even at a low concentration of polar octanol. Therefore, a two-stage cell-recycle extraction process was proposed to improve the contact area between the organic phase and the aqueous phase. The hydrocarbon recovery with in situ cell-recycle extraction showed a three-fold increase (57% of cell) in yield over that with two-phase extraction. In addition, over 60% of the hydrocarbon could be recovered without serious cell damage by downstream separation when this process was applied to the culture broth after batch fermentation.

  • The green alga, Dunaliella salina under fed-batch cultivation produced 51.12 mg of hydrocarbon per liter with maintaining 0.313 (g dry wt/l). About 20% of hydrocarbon production yield based on dry biomass was obtained from both batch and fed-batch processes. Optimum culture conditions of light intensity, pH and salt concentration were obtained as 0.0080 (kJ/$cm^2$/h), 8.0 and 1.4 (g of NaCl/l), respectively by response surface analysis. The production of hydrocarbons in D. salina was closely correlated to cell growth. Fed-batch cultivation produced more hydrocarbons and maintained better cell growth than a batch process.

  • This paper describes and assesses the parameterisation of MP, the microplankton compartment of the carbon­nitrogen microplankton­detritus model. The compartment is 'the microbial loop in a box' and includes pelagic bacteria and protozoa as well as phytoplankton. The paper presents equations and parameter values for the autotroph and microheterotroph components of the microplankton. Equations and parameter values for the microplankton as a whole are derived on the assumption of a constant 'heterotroph fraction'. The autotroph equations of MP allow variation in the ratios of nutrient elements to carbon, and are largely those of the 'cell­quota, threshold­limitation' algal growth model, which can deal with potential control of growth by several nutrients and light. The heterotroph equations, in contrast, assume a constant elemental composition. Nitrogen is used as the limiting nutrient in most of the model description, and is special in that MP links chlorophyll concentration to the autotroph nitrogen quota.

  • We have conducted the study of distribution and inhabitation of the aerial algae from five stone cultural properties located in Gyeonggi-do. A total of 21 taxa were identified, among which 8 taxa of cyanophytes, 12 taxa of cholorophytes and one diatom species. Protococcus viridis, Ulothrix zonata, Synechocystis aquatilis and Chroococcus varius occurred in 15, 9, 8 and 7 study sites, respectively. These coccoid types appeared more frequently than filamentous types. In this study, Chlorococcum infusionum, Cylindrocystis gracilis, Klebsormidium crenulatum, Klebsormidium dissectum and Klebsormidium flaccidium newly recorded from Korea. We found that 80% of stone cultural properties had aerial algae and their 58-84% were grouped into Class 5 based on chlorophyll-a concentration.

  • The accumulation (internal and superficial distribution) of magnesium ions (Mg2+) by the green freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) was investigated under autotrophic culture in a stirred photobioreactor. The concentrations of the three forms of Mg2+ (dissolved, extracellular, and intracellular) were determined with atomic absorption spectroscopy during the course of C. vulgaris growth. The proportions of adsorbed (extracellular) and absorbed (intracellular) Mg2+ were quantified. The concentration of the most important pigment in algal cells, chlorophyll a, increased over time in proportion to the increase in the biomass concentration, indicating a constant chlorophyll/biomass ratio during the linear growth phase. The mean-average rate of Mg2+ uptake by C. vulgaris grown in a culture medium starting with 16 mg/l of Mg2+ concentration was measured. A clear relationship between the biomass concentration and the proportion of the Mg2+ removal from the medium was observed. Of the total Mg2+ present in the culture medium, 18% was adsorbed on the cell wall and 51% was absorbed by the biomass by the end of the experiment (765 h). Overall, 69% of the initial Mg2+ were found to be removed from the medium. This study supported the kinetic model based on a reversible first-order reaction for Mg2+ bioaccumulation in C. vulgaris, which was consistent with the experimental data.

  • The effective removal of microcystins by chlorination was investigated on a laboratory scale. With an initial chl.a concentration of more than 1,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ℓ, the required chlorine dose for the effective removal of microcystins from the raw water was more than 8.0 mg/ℓ. Whereas, a chlorine dose of 3.0 mg/ℓcould effectively remove microcystins from raw water containing a chl.a concentration of less than 1,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ℓ. The microcystin removal was more effective below pH 8.0, plus the optimum pH range was unrelated to the concentration of toxic algal material. Although chlorination is one of the most effective methods for reducing the toxin from blue-green algae, it causes cell lysis and toxin release. However, it was demonstrated that the released cell lysates and toxins could be effectively removed by a higher dose of the oxidant. The highest removal efficiency of dissolved microcystins(initial concentration: 280 $\mu\textrm{g}$ L$\^$-1/) was with a chlorine dose of 5.0 mg/ℓ.
