A Chromate tolerant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the effluent of a tannery showed significant enzymatic activity of chromate reduction. Cells grown in chromate-supplemented medium reduced 8 $\mu\textrm{g}$ chromate/mg protein/h in the presence of NADH/NADPH. The chromate reducing activity was inducible as cells pregrown in chromate showed higher chromate reduction. In contrast, the periplasmic fraction of cells gown in chromate reduce $75\%$ chromate in 4 h and the spheroplast fraction failed to do so, indicating that chromate reductase may be located in the periplasm. The presence of a 30 kDa protein in the periplasmic extracts of cells grown in the presence of chromate, but its absence of the protein in cells grown without chromate, points out a possible role of this protein in chromate reduction.

This research was conducted to assess the performance of the mixed reactive materials with sand, iron filings, and HDTMA-bentonite for trichloroethylene (TCE) and chromate removal under controlled groundwater flow conditions. TCE and chromate removal rates with the mixtures of iron filing/HDTMA-bentonite were highest among four columns due to reduction by iron filings and sorption by HDTMA-bentonite. The greater capacity of the mixed iron filing/HDTMA-bentonite compared HDTMA-bentonite was due to an enhanced chromate reduction in addition to chromate sorption. The presence of chromate caused greater inhibition of TCE removal in the column with iron filings, while the presence of TCE caused less inhibition of TCE. Also, nitrate caused the decrease in TCE removal relative to chloride. Nitrate ions may also significantly affect TCE reduction rates by competing for electrons with the chlorinated compounds. The anion and co-existed contaminants competing effects should be considered when designed permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) composed of zero valent iron for field applications to remediate TCE and chromate.

Effects of surfactants and natural organic matter (NOM) on the sorption and reduction of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and chromate with iron were examined in this study. PCE and chromate reduction by iron depended on the ionic type of the surfactants in this study. The apparent reaction rate constants of PCE with Triton X-100 and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium (HDTMA) at one half and two times of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) were relatively higher than without surfactants because of the enhanced PCE partitioning and surface concentration. In the presence of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDDBS) at 2000 mg/L and NOM at 50 mg/L, the apparent reaction rate constants of PCE increased, but TCE production decreased. The enhanced removal rate of PCE was not due to the dechlorination, and the sorption was dominant iron with SDDBS and NOM. The apparent reaction rate constants of chromate by iron with Triton X-100 and NOM were 1.4-3.1 times lower than without surfactants while that with HDTMA was two times higher than without HDTMA, When the sorbed HDTMA molecules form admicelles, negatively-charged chromate has an affinity for the positively-charged HDTMA head group.

본 연구에서는 황철석과 흑운모를 이용한 회분식반응조실험(batch reactor experiment)을 통하여 수용성 Cr(Ⅵ)의 제거 및 반응속도를 살펴보았으며 이에 따른 산화환원 반응기작을 고찰하였다. 황철석 실험군이 흑운모실험 군에 비해 산화환원반응속도가 100배정도 빨랐으며, pH 3의 실험군이 pH 4 실험군에 비해 Cr(III)으로의 환원반응속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 황철석 실험군에서 Cr(Ⅵ) 초기농도치 90%이상이 제거되는데 걸리는 시간은 pH가 4일때 4시간, pH가 3일 때 40분 이내였다. 반면에, 흑운모 실험군의 경우 pH가 3인 조건에서도 Cr(Ⅵ) 초기농도의 90%이상이 제거되는데 400시간 이상이 걸렸다. 모든 조건에서 Cr(III)치 농도는 초기에 증가하는 경향을 보이다가 일정시간이 지나면 안정한 농도로 고정되었다. 산성의 반응용액에서 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원반응속도는 이 두 광물이 포함하고 있는 2가 철의 해리속도와 관련이 있음을 의미한다. pH 4의 조건인 실험군에서는 용액 내 Cr(Ⅵ)이 Cr(III)으로 환원되고 Fe(II)가 Fe(III)로 산화된 후, (Cr, Fe)(OH)$_3$$_{ (s)}$와 같은 침전물을 생성하여 상대적으로 용액내 Cr(III)과 Fe(III)농도가 낮은 것으로 여겨진다. pH 3의 실험군을 화학양론적 고찰하였으며, 흑운모의 실험에서는 수용성 Fe(II)의 감소된 양과 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원된 양의 이론적인 몰비가 [3Fe(II) : 1Cr(Ⅵ)]임에도 그 몰 비가 약 1:1로서 1 mole의 Cr(Ⅵ)을 환원시키는데 Fe(II)이 적게 소비되었으며, 이는 광물에서 해리되는 Fe(II)에 의한 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원뿐만 아니라 흑운모 구조 내 Fe(II)이 용액 내 Fe(III) 이온을 Fe(II) 이온으로 환원시키는 불균질산화환원반응이 발생하고 이 반응으로 생성된 Fe(II) 이온이 다시 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원반응에 기여하였기 때문이다. 그러나 황철석 실험의 경우, 그 몰비가 약 2.90:1 로서 3에 가까우며, 이는 황철석의 빠른 산화를 통하여 급속한 Fe(II) 이온이 공급됨으로서 Cr(Ⅵ)의 환원반응이 이론적 화학양론의 반응 몰비에 부합한 결과를 보인 것으로 판단된다.

침출수 미생물에 의한 크롬 6가이온의 3가이온으로의 환원을 회분식 배양 및 실험실 규모의 연속배양체제에서 연구하였다. 회분식 배양에 있어서 다양한 범위는 침출수 (10~60%)와 glucose (50~200 mM)를 첨가한 최소배지에서 초기 농도 $20mg\;L^{-1}$의 크롬(VI)을 첨가한 경우 72시간내에 최대 90%의 크롬(VI)이 침출수 미생물에 의하여 환원되었다. 이때 glucose의 첨가는 크롬환원을 촉진시켰으나, 배지내 침출수 비율의 증가는 오히려 크롬환원을 저해하였다. 후자의 경우는 침출수에 존재하는 황산이온이 크롬이온과 경쟁적 저해를 일으키기 때문인 것으로 추정되었다. 연속배양 실험은 124일간 상온에서 크롬(VI)의 농도를 $5{\sim}65mg\;L^{-1}$로 증가시키면서 수행하였으며, 수리학적 체류시간이 36시간일 때 $5{\sim}50mg\;L^{-1}$의 크롬농도 범위에서의 환원은 거의 100%에 달하는 것으로 나타났다. 평균 81.2%의 환원효율을 보인 101~124일 구간에서 계산된 specific reduction rate는 $3.492mg\;g^{-1}\;protein\;h^{-1}$였다. 이상의 결과는 침출수에 존재하는 미생물이 크롬은 함유한 다양한 침출수 또는 피혁폐수의 크롬 무독화과정에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다는 가능성을 제시해 주는 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to achieve the reduction of the galvanic current between the dental amalgam alloy and gold alloy. In order to measure the galvanic current between these two metals a prep in the size of $4{\times}13mm$ which was filled with amalgam and another prep of $4{\times}2mm$ was filled with gold alloy was made in the acrylic resin. These two preps were then connected to a 2mm diameter copper wire. Using an ammeter to measure the galvanic current, six different kinds of amalgam and gold alloy were immersed in saline solution with approximately 10mm distance between the two alloys. Chemical agents that are thought to reduce the galvanic current such as hydrazine. silver nitrate, potassium chromate, and bonding agents such as Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2(Bisco) were applied to the alloy surface. Cathodic inhibitor such as hydrazine was applied to gold alloy where as anodic inhibitor such as silver nitrate and potassium chromate were applied to amalgam. Both bonding agents, Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2 (Bisco), were applied to amalgam. The following results were obtained when the currency on the coated alloy surface was compared to the uncoated surface. 1. The galvanic currency went down as the time elapsed and after 30 minutes no change was detected. 2. Initial currency was higher in low copper amalgam compared to high copper amalgam. Intitial currency was the highest in low copper lathe-cut amalgam. 3. Group of gold coated with hydrazine had the most reduction in galvanic currency. 4. Group of amalgam coated with silver nitrate or potassium chromate also showed significant reduction in galvanic currency. 5. The bonding agents also helped reduce galvanic currency. 6. Of all the agents used to reduce galvanic currency, silver nitrate showed the best result.

The ROS-producing potency of chromium compounds of several oxidation states were determined in the H4 cells. $K_2Cr_2O_7$ as Cr (VI), synthetic Cr (V) compounds and Cr (III) as TPP produced high level of ROS. However, ROS values of Cr-picolinate as Cr (III), CrCl$_2$, CrCI$_2$, were almost equal to the control. The effects of physiological antioxidants compounds which react with free radicals were examined for their effects on chromate-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in A549 cells after the addition of $K_2Cr_2O_7$. The compounds used were vitamin C (ascorbate), vitamin E ($\alpha$-tocopherol), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. The preincubation of ascorbate (200uM) with A549 cells for 20hr resulted in a significant reduction of hexavalent chromate(100uM) induced ROS. However, there is no effects of preincubation of the cells with vitamin E succinate (10 and 20uM, 20hr) on the ROS production. Also, the effects of Cr (VI) on the cell cycle of A549 cells was measured by adding the DNA intercalating agent, propidium iodide. S phase of the cell cycle was increased by the chromium (VI) compounds up to 20uM indicating toxicity or possible mitogenic action of the cell. The shoulder in Go/G1 phase at 20uM Cr (VI) with 24 hr treatment indicates apoptosis.

Hybrid barriers using reduction and immobilization were tested to remediate the groundwater contaminated with multi-pollutants in this study. Iron filings and HDTMA(hexadecyltrimethylammonium)-bentonite were simulated in columns to assess the performance of hybrid barriers for remediation of trichloroethylene(TCE)-contaminated water. TCE reduction rate for the mixture of iron filings and HDTMA-bentonite was about 7 times higher than that for iron filings, only suggesting the reduction of TCE was accelerated when HDTMA-bentonite was mixed with iron filings. TCE reduction rate for the two layers of iron and HDTMA-bentonite was nearly similar to that for iron filings alone, but the partition coefficient($K_d$) for the two layers was 4.5 times higher than for that iron filings only. TCE was immobilized in the first layer with HDTMA-bentonite, and then dechlorinated in the second layer with iron filings. HDTMA-bentonite may contribute to the increase in TCE concentration on iron surface so that more TCE can be reduced. Also, TCE removal in the hybrid barriers was not affected by chromate and naphthalene while the reduction rate of TCE with the co-existing contaminants by iron filings was significantly decreased. Significant TCE removal in this research indicates that the proposed hybrid barrier system has the potential to become the effective remediation alternative during the occurrence of oil shock. Also, if subsurface environments are contaminated with multi-pollutants that contain non-reducible compounds as well as reducible compounds such as TCE, the conventional reactive barriers cannot be applied to this subsurface environment, while the proposed hybrid system can be applied successfully.
