Leakage detection system can possibly locate leak point without laboratory analysis. Several different types of sensors provide these benefits. But the use of these technologies is not widespread, mainly because of cost. Each of the leakage detection systems available has different advantages and disadvantages. The ideal system would be affordable, durable enough to last through the life of the landfill, automated, and applicable to all types of landfills. The laboratory tests were performed to investigate the relationship between electrical resistivity and the unsaturated subsurface condition and to evaluate the contamination due to leachate based on measuring electrical resistivity. The results of experiment show that the electrical resistivity of soil decreases as moisture density increases. The electrical resistivity of soil decreases as the concentration of leachate in pore fluid increases. These facts indicate that electrical resistivity method can be a promising tool in detecting of leachate. Also, the field model tests were conducted to verify that detection of leachate leak point on detection system using electrical characteristics is accurate. Field model test results of leakage detection system imply that the leakage detection system using electrical characteristics have the great potential of detecting exactly the leak point of leachate.

근래에 들어, 복합 라이너 시스템에서 점토차수재를 대신하여 GCL(Geosynthetic clay liner)의 사용이 급증하고 있다. 그러나, 과연 GCL의 수리학적 특성이 점토차수재와 대등하게 매립장 설계규준을 만족 시키는가의 여부는 오래동안 논란이 되어왔다. 실내시험 및 현장조사 결과 여러 가지 원인에 의해 GCL에 응력집중이나 비등방 분포 하중이 생길 때 국부적인 벤토나이트 유실로 팽윤된 GCL의 두께가 감소할 수 있음을 보여준다. 이 논문에서는 현장조사를 통하여 실내시험에서 얻어진 벤토나이트 유실을 확인하고 감소된 GCL 두께에 대한 수리학적 특성을 분석했다.

In this research, the photocatalytic degradation of benzothiophene in $TiO_2$ aqueous suspension has been studied. $TiO_2$ photocatalysts are prepared by a sol-gel method. The dominant anatase-structure on $TiO_2$ particles is observed after calcining the $TiO_2$ gel at $500^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. Photocatalysts with various transition metals (Nd, Pd and Pt) loading are tested to evaluate the effect of transition metal impurities on photodegradation. The photocatalytic degradation in most cases follows first-order kinetics. The maximum photodegradation efficiency is obtained with $TiO_2$ dosage of 0.4g/L. The photodegradation efficiency with Pt-$TiO_2$ is higher than pure $TiO_2$ powder. The optimal content value of Pt is 0.5wt.%. Also we investigate the applicability of $H_2O_2$ to increase the efficiency of the $TiO_2$ photocatalytic degradation of benzothiophene. The optimal concentration of $H_2O_2$ is 0.05. The effect of pH is investigated; we obtain the maximum photodegradation efficiency at pH 9. Hydroxy-benzothiophenes and dihydroxy-benzothiophenes are identified as reaction intermediates. It is proposed that benzothiophene is oxidized by OH radical to sequentially form hydroxyl-benzothiophenes, dihydroxybenzothiophenes, and benzothiophenedione.

In Korea, groundwater quality is monitored through National Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network (NGQMN) administered by Ministry of Environment. For a given contaminant, compliance to groundwater quality standards is assessed on a annual basis by monitoring the number of incidents that concentration exceeds the regulatory limit. However, this approach provides only a fractional information about groundwater quality degradation, and more crucial information such as location and severity of the contamination cannot be obtained. For better groundwater quality management on a watershed, a more spatially informative and intuitive method is required. This study presents two statistical methods to convert point-wise monitoring data into information on groundwater quality status of a watershed by using a proposed grading scale. The proposed grading system is based on readily available reference standards that classify the water quality into 4 grades. The methods were evaluated with NO₃^-, Cl^-, and total coliform data in Geum River basin. The analyses revealed that groundwater in most watersheds of Geum River basin is good for domestic or/and drinking with no treatment. But, there was notable quality degradation in Bunam seawall and So-oak downstream standard watersheds contaminated by NO₃^- and Cl^-, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to analyze water treatment characteristics, including the efficiency of removing algae from water purification plants, by installing a demonstration facility for decontamination of algae, including natural algae remover injection equipment, in the water purification plant. Jar-test showed that the optimum injection of natural decontaminant was 20 mg/L. Of the water contaminant treatment efficiency of the intake and water purification plants, Chl-a averaged 74.0% elimination efficiency from $5.0mg/m^3$ to $1.3mg/m^3$ and the maximum treatment efficiency was 91.5% removal efficiency when the inflow concentration of Chl-a was $11.8mg/m^3$. In addition, 51.2% and 47.1% of the taste and odor indicator items, geosmin and 2-MIB, resulted from the overgrowth and decaying of algae, respectively, to identify toxic substances and odor reduction effects. In addition, elimination efficiencies of SS and Turbidity materials were higher than 70.0%. In the injection of natural algae remover, no effects such as sudden changes in water quality due to secondary reactions were found, and appropriate levels were maintained under water treatment conditions.

국내·외 유해화학물질 유출로 인한 하천오염사례가 많이 일어나고 있다. 이때 수질의 농도측정은 직접 도섭으로 하천의 정보 대한 정보를 취득하기 어렵기 때문에 간접적인 방법으로의 정보취득이 중요시 되어야 한다. 그에 따른 방법으로 주입식의 표면부자를 활용한 방법 이용한 수질농도 측정방법 등이 있다. 하지만 이런 농도추정은 이동확산으로 인한 변위가 커지게 되어 시간간격 설정에 대한 어려움 등이 있고, 수질오염에 대한 추적이 가능할 수 있을지에 대한 분석연구가 필요하다. 따라서 이러한 수질농도의 대한 분석을 실시하여 고성능 GPS전자부자를 이용한 추적이 필요하다. Lab-Scale에서 GPS 전자부자를 이용하여 수질정보취득에 일반항목인 수온, PH, EC, DO을 측정함으로써 일반항목에 대한 상관관계와 그에 따른 관계곡선을 제시하고, 고성능 GPS 전자부자를 이용한 측정결과와 YSI를 이용한 측정결과를 비교분석하여 농도경향에 대한 추적으로 오염물질이나 유해화학물질의 정보전달을 통해 원인분석 및 예상경로를 파악할 수 있다. 또한 간접적인 측정을 통해 진행되고 실시간으로 정보를 취득할 수 있기 때문에 수질측정에 접근성 및 안정성 까지 확보할 수 있다. 더 나아가 홍수시 사용뿐만 아니라 기본에 사용되는 수질측정 방법의 한계점까지 보완할 수 있다. GPS 전자부자의 지속적인 연구는 향후 하천 측정 시스템에 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

To obtain site-specific values of the Derived Concentration Guideline Levels (DCGLs) for decommissioning of KRR-1&2, the soil density and distribution coefficient values for Cs-137, a major contaminant radionuclide, were determined. The soil density was evaluated according to the test method established by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards of the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (KATS). The distribution coefficient was evaluated using a batch test. The validity of using the evaluated soil density and distribution coefficient as site-specific values was assessed through radiation dose assessment reflecting these values. Average soil density value obtained was 1.738 g/cm³, which was within the typical range of normal soil density, 1.0-1.8 g/cm³. The average distribution coefficient value was 7,754 mL/g. Applying the maximum, average, and minimum values of the evaluated soil density and distribution coefficient showed similar radiation dose results, thus suggesting that it is reasonable to use the average values of each parameter as site-specific values. Findings of this study can help determine DCGLs that reflect the characteristics of the research reactor site.

The ventilation system is a key device to ensure both healthful indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort in buildings. The ventilation system should make the IAQ meet the standards such as ASHRAE 62. This study deals with a new approach to modeling the ventilation and IAQ requirement in residential buildings. In that approach, Elite software is used to calculate the air supply volume, and CONTAM model as a multi-zone and contaminant dispersal model is employed to estimate the contaminants' concentrations. Amongst various contaminants existing in the residential buildings, two main contaminates of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and carbon monoxide (CO) were considered. CO and $CO_2$ are generated mainly from combustion sources such as gas cooking and heating oven. In addition to the mentioned sources, $CO_2$ is generated from occupants' respirations. To show how that approach works, a sample house with the area of $80m^2$ located in Tehran was considered as an illustrative case study. The results showed that $CO_2$ concentration in the winter was higher than the acceptable level. Therefore, the air change rate (ACH) of 4.2 was required to lower the $CO_2$ concentration below the air quality threshold in the living room, and in the bedrooms, the rate of ventilation volume should be 11.2 ACH.

채취된 퇴적 점토시료의 화학적 특성을 규명하기 위하여 주사전자현미경(SEM) 관찰과 에너지분산분광(EDX) 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 생활하수 및 산업폐수의 유입으로 오염된 퇴적점토의 강도 및 변형특성 변화를 파악하기 위하여 NaCl 수용액과 매립장 침출수를 시료의 간극수 또는 포화수로 교체하여 삼축압축시험과 압밀시험을 실시하였다. 점토시료에 대한 화학성분 분석결과 구성비 크기는O, C, Si, Al, Fe순서를 보이고 있으며, 이 중에서 C의 비율이 높게 나타난 것은 방조제 축조로 인한 식물 플랑크톤의 증식에 기인된 것으로 추정된다. 삼축압축시험 및 압밀시험결과, NaCl의 농도가 증가할수록 전단강도는 증가하고 압축성이 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 전해질의 농도가 증가할수록 확산이중층(DDL)의 두께가 감소되어 흙의 구조가 면모화되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
