  • Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) is a chemical wood preservative that has been intensively used to protect wood from decay during the last few decades. CCA is widely used to build structures such as decks, fences, playgrounds and boardwalks. However, structures constructed of CCA-treated wood have caused adverse environmental effects due to leaching of Cr, Cu and As into surrounding soils. This research was conducted to monitor the vertical and horizontal distribution of Cr, Cu and As in soils adjacent to CCA-treated wood structures in Korea. Two structures constructed with CCA-treated wood were selected at Hongcheon and Chuncheon in Gangwon Province, South Korea. Eleven soil profile samples were collected at depths of 0 to 80 cm at each site, while 12 surface soil samples were collected at distances of 0 to 200 cm from each structure. The soil chemical properties, soil particle size distribution and total metal concentrations were then determined. The results revealed that soils near CCA-treated wood structures were generally contaminated with Cr, Cu and As when compared to the background concentration of each metal. In addition, the concentrations of Cr, Cu and As in soils decreased as the vertical and horizontal distance from the structure increased. Further studies should be conducted to evaluate the mobility and distribution of these metals in the environment as well as to develop novel technologies for remediation of CCA contaminated soils.

  • 피복공법은 해저 퇴적오염물질을 차단하고 안정화시켜 처리하는 방안이다. 국내에서는 피복공법에 대한 연구가 부족하나, 오염물질이 방출되지 않기 위한 공학적 접근법이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 피복설계 시 중요 인자인 피복재 침식을 확인하기 위해 조파장치를 이용한 수리모형실험을 실시하였다. 1:10의 실험축척을 적용하여 0.07~2 mm 크기의 모래를 피복 재료로 사용하였고, 모형 수조 내 강사한 후 파랑을 발생시켜 피복재의 형상변화를 관측하였다. 실험결과, 피복재의 표면은 파랑의 파형과 유사하게 변형이 발생하였으며, 파랑의 파고가 증가할수록 대체적으로 침식되는 피복재의 깊이가 증가하였다.

  • Traditionally, so-called "industrial waste gases", such ad exhaust from boilers at industrial installations and a large quantity of soot discharged from power station, before their release into the atmosphere, have been on occasion subjected to an air cleaning process to remove fine particles that may pollute the atmosphere (such as mist and dust containing various powdery or oily substances and moisture from industrial waste gases). The release of industrial waste gases containing these particles directly into the atmosphere poses a serious threat to the earth environment; and recovery of these noxious substances is required by law in some countries and local governments. in urban areas, air pollution from automobile exhaust and others creates a serious condition. Some homes are equipped with and use indoor air purifiers. In many of the kitchens of restaurants, smoke generated during cooking and otherwise contaminated air are cleansed by air purifiers before being released outside or recycled inside. For the dust collecting devices to recover the fine particles contained in contaminated air, the cause for air pollution and how to purify air, many types based on various principles are known. Specifically, classified based on theories of particle collection, filtration, gravity, inertia, centrifugation, electricity, and cleaning types are cited as available processes. Among them, an appropriate type is selected according to the size or type of fine particles to be collected and conditions for installation. For the efficiency of dust collection, a filtration system (by using bag filters and others) and electric system are particularly outstanding and are therefore used widely in various areas of industry. In this research, rotary type high performance oil mist and smoke collecting system with self auto cleaning device equipped with the cleaning fluid spraying section is investigated.

  • Outbreaks of food poisoning due to the consumption of norovirus-contaminated shellfish continue to occur. Male-specific (F+) coliphage has been suggested as an indicator of viral species due to the association with animal and human wastes. Here, we compared two methods, the double agar overlay and the quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR)-based method, for evaluating the applicability of F+ coliphage-based detection technique in microbial contamination tracking of shellfish samples. The RT-PCR-based method showed 1.6-39 times higher coliphage PFU values from spiked shellfish samples, in relation to the double agar overlay method. These differences indicated that the RT-PCR-based technique can detect both intact viruses and non-particle-protected viral DNA/RNA, suggesting that the RT-PCR based method could be a more efficient tool for tracking microbial contamination in shellfish. However, the virome information on F+ coliphage-contaminated oyster samples revealed that the high specificity of the RT-PCR- based method has a limitation in microbial contamination tracking due to the genomic diversity of F+ coliphages. Further research on the development of appropriate primer sets for microbial contamination tracking is therefore necessary. This study provides preliminary insight that should be examined in the search for suitable microbial contamination tracking methods to control the sanitation of shellfish and related seawater.

  • 본 연구에서는 중금속 오염지반을 정화하기 위한 향상제로 친환경 재료인 나노버블수를 적용하기 위한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 수소 나노버블을 제조하여 입도분석과 제타 포텐셜 측정을 통해 장기 생존성을 평가하였다. 제조된 나노버블수를 회분식 탈착실험에 적용하여 구리 오염토양에 대한 나노버블수의 정화 효과를 증류수와 비교하여 분석하였다. 가압용해식 나노버블 제조 장치를 통해 제조한 나노버블은 최소 14일간 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 구리 오염 토양에 대한 회분식 탈착실험을 수행한 결과, 토양 종류에 관계없이 나노버블수의 제거효율은 전반적으로 증류수보다 높았으며 고액비와 반응시간에 비례하여 증가하였다. pH 변화에 따라 사질토는 산성 측에서 제거 효율이 높게 나타났으나 점성토는 그 차이가 다소 낮았다. 실험 결과를 통해 나노버블의 구리 탈착 효과는 나노버블의 큰 비표면적과 제타 포텐셜에 기인하여 전반적으로 우수하게 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구를 바탕으로 나노버블수의 중금속 제거 효과를 확인하였으며 이를 토양정화의 향상제로 적용하여 친환경적인 정화공법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 기존 바이오차의 제한점인 비소 오염 토양 안정화에 대한 낮은 효율과 비산에 의한 유실 가능성을 개선할 수 있는 철 나노입자가 담지된 바이오차 기반 비드 형태 안정화제인 INPBC/bead (Iron Nano-Particles Impregnated BioChar/bead)를 제조하였다. 폐목재 바이오매스를 Fe(III) 용액과 함께 수열 반응을 진행하고 이후 소성을 거쳐 INPBC를 제조하였다. INPBC/bead는 알지네이트의 cross-linking 반응을 통해 제조 하였다. 제조한 INPBC/bead의 특성을 평가하기 위해 FT-IR, XRD, BET 비표 면적, SEM-EDS 분석을 실시하였다. 특성 평가 결과 입자 크기가 1-4 mm인 INPBC/bead는 여러 산소 함유 관능기를 보유하며 표면의 철 결정성은 Fe3O4인 것으로 확인되었다. INPBC/bead의 성능을 평가하기 위해 폐광산 주변 지역에서 채취한 비소 및 중금속 오염 토양을 이용하여 배양 실험을 실시하였다. 4주 동안의 배양이 종료된 후 처리된 토양을 대상으로 TCLP, SPLP 시험을 실시한 결과 안정화제 적용 비율이 증가함에 따라 안정화 효율은 높아지는 것으로 확인되었다. SPLP 시험 결과, INPBC/bead 5%의 비소 안정화 효율은 81.56%이며 납의 경우에는 농도가 검출한계 미만으로 저감되었다. 상기의 결과를 종합하였을 때 INPBC/bead는 토양 중 비소와 납에 대한 안정화 효과를 동시에 보유하고 토양의 pH 변화를 일으키지 않으며 비드 형태로써 적용 과정에서 비산되는 것이 방지할 수 있는 안정화제이기 때문에 비소 및 중금속 복합 오염 토양 안정화에 적용 가능성이 높은 안정화제 인 것으로 판단된다.

  • A venturi scrubber is an important element of Filtered Containment Venting System (FCVS) for the removal of aerosols in contaminated air. The present work involves computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of dust particle removal efficiency of a venturi scrubber operating in self-priming mode using ANSYS CFX. Titanium oxide ($TiO_2$) particles having sizes of 1 micron have been taken as dust particles. CFD methodology to simulate the venturi scrubber has been first developed. The cascade atomization and breakup (CAB) model has been used to predict deformation of water droplets, whereas the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach has been used to handle multiphase flow involving air, dust, and water. The developed methodology has been applied to simulate venturi scrubber geometry taken from the literature. Dust particle removal efficiency has been calculated for forced feed operation of venturi scrubber and found to be in good agreement with the results available in the literature. In the second part, venturi scrubber along with a tank has been modeled in CFX, and transient simulations have been performed to study self-priming phenomenon. Self-priming has been observed by plotting the velocity vector fields of water. Suction of water in the venturi scrubber occurred due to the difference between static pressure in the venturi scrubber and the hydrostatic pressure of water inside the tank. Dust particle removal efficiency has been calculated for inlet air velocities of 1 m/s and 3 m/s. It has been observed that removal efficiency is higher in case of higher inlet air velocity.

  • A present semiconductor cleaning technology is based upon RCA cleaning technology which consumes vast amounts of chemicals and ultra pure water(UPW) and is the high temperature process. Therefore, this technology gives rise to the many environmental issues, and some alternatives such as electrolyzed water(EW) are being studied. In this work, intentionally contaminated Si wafers were cleaned using the electrolyzed water. The electrolyzed water was generated by an electrolysis system which consists of three anode, cathode, and middle chambers. Oxidative water and reductive water were obtained in anode and cathode chambers, respectively. In case of NH4Cl electrolyte, the oxidation-reduction potential and pH for anode water(AW) and cathode water(CW) were measured to be +1050mV and 4.8, and -750mV and 10.0, respectively. AW and CW were deteriorated after electrolyzed, but maintained their characteristics for more than 40 minutes sufficiently enough for cleaning. Their deterioration was correlated with CO2 concentration changes dissolved from air. Contact angles of UPW, AW, and CW on DHF treated Si wafer surfaces were measured to be $65.9^{\circ}$, $66.5^{\circ}$ and $56.8^{\circ}$, respectively, which characterizes clearly the eletrolyzed water. To analyze the amount of metallic impurities on Si wafer surface, ICP-MS was introduced. It was known that AW was effective for Cu removal, while CW was more effective for Fe removal. To analyze the number of particles on Si wafer surfaces, Tencor 6220 were introduced. The particle distributions after various particle removal processes maintained the same pattern. In this work, RCA consumed about $9{\ell}$ chemicals, while EW did only $400m{\ell}$ HCl electrolyte or $600m{\ell}$ NH4Cl electrolyte. It was hence concluded that EW cleaning technology would be very effective for promoting environment, safety, and health(ESH) issues in the next generation semiconductor manufacturing.

  • 부유된 광물성 미립자는 강, 저수지 그리고 호수의 유속 및 운송력이 감소하는 곳에서 침전되며, 다른 중금속들에 의해 오염된다. 그 실예들이 퇴적물의 준설, 수질오염, 운하 및 수공구조물의 유지관리의 문제이다. 이런 침전 문제들을 다루기 위해선 물에 녹아있는 이온(NaOH, HCl, NaCl)의 첨가 및 밀도의 변화 아래 점착성 퇴적물의 물리-화학적인 특성의 이해가 필요하다. 왜냐하면 미립자인 점착성 퇴적물은 물리-화학적인 영향 때문에 쉽게 응집현상이 일어나며, 다른 특성을 갖게 되기 때문이다. 본 실험은 광물성 미립자(alumina 와 Quartz)를 가지고 담수 및 염분을 함유한 침강수주 안에서 실시되었다. 정수 중에 부유된 미립자의 침강속도는 압력센서(최대 10 mbar)로 측정되었다. 초기 농도 20,000 mg/l)까지 quartz의 침강 속도는 증가하였으며, 그 후 감소하였다. Quartz의 침강 속도는 산성에서 강한 응집현상 때문에 증가하였으며 알칼리성에서는 낮게 측정되었다. 그러나 alumina의 침강 속도는 그 정반대의 현상을 보였다.
