The Dalsung copper-tungsten mine in the Taegu area, Korea was closed in 1975 and may be the sources of the heavy metal contamination in the tributary system and soil-plant system due to the mine drainage derived from the mine wastes and tailings. To examine the degree and extent of heavy metal contamination in the vicinity of Dalsung mine area, stream water and soil samples were taken and analyzed for heavy metals by ICP-AES and AAS. Highly contaminated soils are found near the Lower Tunnel No.0 ranging up to $1760{\mu}g/g$ As, $2060{\mu}g/g$ Cu, $1120{\mu}g/g$ Pb and 346 ${\mu}g/g$ Zn. From the results of the sequential extraction methods for the metal speciation, the heavy metals in soils may be derived from soil parent materials and acid mine drainage. With the processes for the heavy metal removal, most of the heavy metal ions in the acid mine drainage are removed by being exchanged with Ca ions held by the bentonite, hydroxyapatite and calcium hydoxide.

Understanding the distribution of heavy metals in sediment is necessary because labile heavy metals can partition into the water column and bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Here we investigated six heavy metals (Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in sediment cores using a five-step sequential leaching method to examine the occurrence of heavy metals in the sediment. The results showed that all elements, except Mn, are depleted in the exchangeable and carbonate fractions. However, heavy metal concentrations are much higher in the Fe-Mn oxide and organic matter fractions, especially for Cu, indicating enrichment in the organic matter fraction. Furthermore, contamination parameters (contamination factor and geoaccumulation index) indicate that Mn contamination is high, primarily derived from anthropogenic sources, presenting a potential risk to ecosystems in the Nakdong River.

This study is aimed to prepare the effective detail survey methods(Phase II) of abandoned metal mines through the contamination assessment for mine types and facilities in the abandoned metal mine areas. The study sites of 12 abandoned mines are located in Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do and those were chosen among 310 sites that the Phase II survey was conducted from 2007 to 2009 after considering the results of Phase I for abandoned mines scattered all over the country. 12 study sites were classified into four types; Type I sites only have pit mouth. Type II sites have pit mouth and mine-waste field. Type III sites have pit mouth and tailing sorting field. Type IV sites have pit mouth, tailing sorting field and concentrator(s). In forest land, paddy soil and farm land of Type I, As and Cd were showed average concentration, and Cu and Pb were high on the pit mouth area in one mines where the pit mouth was developed within 500 m. In the mines of Type II, Cu and Pb were showed average concentration too, but As and Cd were slightly high in pit mouth and mine-waste field. The mines of Type III which had grinding particle process through physical separation milling or hitting showed similar tendency with Type II. However, mines of Type IV pit mouth, mine-waste field and showed various results depending on defining the contamination sources. For example, if contamination source was pit mouth, the mixed results of Type I, II, II were showed. In tailing sorting field which was regarded as the most important source and having high mobility, however, if there were no facilities or it was difficult to access directly, field sampling was missed occasionally during phase I and phase II survey. For that reason, the assessment for tailing sorting field is missed and it leads to completely different results. In the areas of Type I mines, the concentration of heavy metals exceeded precautionary standards of soil contamination or not within 1,000 meters of pit mouth. Nickel(Ni) was the largest factor of the heavy metal contamination in this type. The heavy metals except Arsenic(As) were shown high levels of concentration in Type II areas, where pit mouth and mine-waste field were operated for making powder in upriver region; therefore, to the areas in the vicinity of midstream and downstream, the high content of heavy metals were shown. The tendency of high level of heavy metals and toxic materials contained in flotation agent used during sorting process were found in soil around sorting and tailing field. In the abandoned-pit-mouth area, drygrinding area and tailing sorting field area, the content of Cupper(Cu) and Zinc(Zn) were higher than other areas. Also, the contaminated area were larger than mine reclamation area(2,000 m) and the location of tailing sorting field was one of the important factors to estimate contaminated area.

도곡광산 주변지역 중금속 원소들의 오염 특성을 알아보고, 이들 원소들의 생체흡수도를 평가하기 위해서 본 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 대상 지역의 주오염원은 광미 및 폐석더미 그리고 갱내수 등으로 추정된다. 광미 내에는 As이 $140{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg$, Cd이 $107{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg$, Cu가 $3017{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg$, Pb가 $12926{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg$, Zn는 $9094{\cal}mg/{\cal}kg$(우기 전 시료)로 높은 함량을 나타내고 있다. 밭토양 내의 중금속 원소들 함량은 자연토양 내의 평균함량(Bowen, 1979)보다 높게 나타났으나, 광미적치장의 광미에 비해서 낮은 함량을 나타낸다. 수계내 중금속 함량은 독성 원소들의 주오염원으로 생각되는 본 갱의 광미적치장 주변 하천수 시료에서 가장 높은 수준을 나타내었고, 하류로 가면서 희석 효과에 의해서 그 함량이 점차 감소하는 경향을 나타내고 있다. 광미와 토양을 대상으로 연속추출분석을 한 결과, 비잔류상 형태의 존재비율이 높게 나타났는데 이는 계속적인 풍화와 산화에 의한 오염을 지시한다. 그리고 Cd과 Zn는 대상 지역 대부분에서 높은 이동도를 나타내고 있다. 밭토양을 대상으로 SBET분석에 의한 중금속 원소들의 생체흡수도 평가 결과, $Cd(55.3\%),\;Cu(46.5\%),\;Zn(41.0\%),\;As(37.0\%)$로 나타났다. 밭토양(S3) 시료는 중금속 원소들의 총 함량과 생체흡수도 모두 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다.

In this study, the effects of reclaimed wastewater irrigation on the concentration of heavy metals such as lead, zinc, cadmium, and copper in soil and vegetables were investigated by monitoring an experimental area irrigated with reclaimed wastewater. Three treatments and three replications on $10{\times}2$-m plots were installed and heavy metal concentrations in soil and vegetables were monitored from 2005 to 2007. The treatments applied in this study were groundwater irrigation (control treatment), wastewater irrigation, and irrigation with filtered reclaimed wastewater treated with ultraviolet light. The monitored results showed that the concentrations of Cu, Cd, and Pb in soil during the experimental period were lower than initial soil levels before irrigation, whereas Zn increased in all treatment plots. However, the ranges of Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb in soil were below the soil pollution standards in the Republic of Korea. Heavy metal concentrations in vegetables showed insignificant variations for all treatments.

In performing in situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for materials characterizations, arising concerns such as specimen drifts and unintentional Cu contamination are discussed. In particular, we analysed the thermal and mechanical characteristics of in situ heating holders to estimate thermal drift phenomena. From the experimental results, we suggest an empirical model to describe the thermal drift behavior so that we can design an effective plan for in situ heating experiment. Practical approaches to minimize several hindrances arisen from the experiment are proposed. We believe that our experimental recommendations will be useful for a microscopist fascinated with the powerful potential of in situ heating TEM.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect on the Cd accumulation in long-term Cd poisoned rats. 40 male weaning Sprague Dawley rats weighting 80-90g were divided into 4 groups (LCuLFeCd : low Cu, Fe and Cd group, ACuLFeCd : adequate Cu, low Fe and Cd group, ACuAFeCd : adequate Cu, adequate Fe and Cd group) according to Cu and Fe levels (Cu 0.5ppm, 8.5ppm : Fe 6ppm, 40ppm) for 12 weeks. There were no significant difference in water intake, feed intake, and body weight gain according to dietary Cu and Fe consumption. But the mean food intake and body weight gain of adequate Fe groups(LCuAFeCd, ACuAFeCd) were higher than those of deficient Fe groups (ACuLFeCd, LCuFeCd)in long-term Cd poisoned rats. The mean Cd levels of serum, liver, kidney, and urine in ACuAFeCd group were lower than those of Cu and /or Fe deficient groups. But the mean fecal Cd excretion of ACuAFeCd group was higher than that of Cu and/or Fe deficient groups. And the mean Cd retention amount of ACuAFeCd group was lower than those of Cu and/or Fe deficinet groups. In conclusion, these results provide an evidence that adequate Cu and Fe intakes can decrease Cd accumulation in rats. Therefore, in the point of increasing environmental Cd contamination, adequate Cu and Fe intakes must be suggested to prevent Cd accumulations.

차세대 전자소자는 입출력(I/O) 핀 수의 증가, 전력소모의 감소, 소형화 등으로 인해 fine-pitch 배선 시스템이 요구되고 있다. Fine-pitch 특히 10 um 이하의 fine-pitch에서는 기존의 무연솔더나 Cu pillar/solder cap 구조를 사용할 수 없기 때문에 Cu-to-Cu bumpless 배선 시스템은 2D/3D 소자 구조에서 매우 필요한 기술이라 하겠다. Bumpless 배선 기술로는 BBUL 기술, 접착제를 이용한 WOW의 본딩 기술, SAB 기술, SAM 기술, 그리고 Cu-to-Cu 열압착 본딩 기술 등이 연구되고 있다. Fine-pitch Cu-to-Cu interconnect 기술은 연결 방법에 상관없이 Cu 층의 불순물을 제거하는 표면 처리 공정, 표면 활성화, 표면 평탄도 및 거칠기가 매우 중요한 요소라 하겠다.

Considering risks and artificial enrichments of metals in the soils of the study area, the study aims to analyze geology, grain size and geochemistry. Geology is mainly composed of gneisses and phyllites of metamorphic rocks, sandstones, siltstones, shales, tuffs of sedimentary ones and granites and andesites of igneous ones in the area. In the area, mean contents of metals are not meaningful in accordance with petrogenesis. The soil textures of the area are of S, lS and sL of sandy soil, L, scL, cL of loam and C, zC and sC of clayey soil. Mean contents of Ni, Cr, Co and Cu are meaningfully high in loam and clayey soil relative to sandy soil, whereas Ni, Zn, Cd contents are higher in clayey soil than in loam. Those differences imply the metallic contents are dependent to grain size. Based on the metal contents in the soils of the study area, Cu and Zn in loams and Pb in sandy soils are corresponded to soil contamination warning standards, and As showing 75mg/kg of maximum content in loams is assigned to soil contamination countermeasure standards, respectively. Artificial enrichment factor minimized wall rock and grain size relations is over 1 in Cr, Ni and Cu, but the factor is below 1 in average of other metals.
