  • Chronic exposure to atrazine (ATR) raises concerns about adverse effects on reproductive functions. We tested our previously validated filtering device, the OBP-based filter, onto a biological model constituted of cultured swine granulosa cells treated for 48 h with media conditioned with 0.1 or $10{\mu}M$ ATR evaluating cell viability and steroidogenesis. The tested atrazine concentrations did not change granulosa cell viability and no filtering effects was observed following treatments with media prepared with differently filtered water. As for steroidogenesis, treatment of water with OBP-based filter containing $10{\mu}M$ atrazine completely suppressed the stimulatory effect of $10{\mu}M$ atrazine on progesterone production as well as the inhibitory effect of $0.1{\mu}M$ ATR on estradiol-$17{\beta}$ production by granulosa cells. Our data demonstrate that the impairment of steroidogenesis induced by ATR is effectively removed after water filtration in the experimental device thus suggesting potential use in biotechnological applications on living cells and/or organisms.

  • A spiral wound nanofiltration (NF) membrane (GE Osmonics, DK 4040F) was used to remove pesticides from water. Several solutions of single pesticides and their mixtures were prepared. The pesticides initial concentration ranged from ca. 50 ng/L (single pesticide) to ca. 700 ng/L (as sum of 14 pesticides) and progressively increased with time since the NF experiments were carried out in a concentration mode up to a Volume Concentration Ratio, VCR = 10. Permeate flux and pesticides retention were evaluated as a function of the Volume Concentration Ratio. The permeate flux did not practically change by varying VCR. Pesticide retention was found to be around 97-98% both in the cases of single pesticide solutions and different mixtures of pollutants, and was not affected by the VCR. Pesticides concentration in permeate samples was found to be lower than the maximum concentration level fixed in European directive.

  • Artemisia annua L. (Compositae) is an annual herb, which has been traditionally used as an antipyretic and hemostatic agent with the herbal medicine name of Cheong Ho (菁蒿) in Korea and China. In this study, five di-caffeoylquinic acid derivatives and a coumarin were determined from the hot-water extract of aerial parts of A. annua. The structures of isolates were elucidated to be 1,3-di-O-caffeoylqunic acid (1), 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (2), 3,5-di-O-caffeoylqiunic acid (3), 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4) and 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5) and scopoletin (6). The presence of 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4) is firstly reported from A. annua in the current study.

  • 영가철(ZVI)를 사용하는 투수성 반응벽체(PRB, Permeable reactive barrier)는 TCE(Trichloroethylene)와 같은 난분해성 유기물질이 포함된 지하수를 처리하는데 사용될 수 있다. 여기서 ZVI(Zero-valent iron)가 Ferric iron으로 산화되면서 TCE를 ethene으로 환원시킨다. Ferric iron으로 변화된 iron은 환원과정을 통해 Ferrous iron으로 다시 재생을 시켜야 PRB의 처리수명을 연장시킬 수 있다. Ferric iron을 Ferrous iron으로 환원시키기 위해서 철환원 박테리아(IRB, Iron-reducing bacteria)를 이용한다. 이번 연구에서는 IRB가 Ferric iron을 환원시키기 위해서 Ferric iron을 용해를 한다는 concept으로 실험을 해보았다. 실험은 증류수(DI water, De-ionized water), DI-water에 배지를 포함한 용액, 그리고 DI-water에 배지 및 IRB가 포함된 용액, 이 3가지 조건으로 수행했다. 실험결과 $Fe^{3+}$의 용해가 IRB가 포함된 용액, 배지가 포함된 용액, 증류수 순으로 잘 되는 것으로 나타났다.

  • In this work, to detect of hydrogen in DI water in the generator area of nuclear power plants was fabricated Pd/Pt gate MISFET sensor using Pd membrane. $H_2$ permeation through Pd accounts for external mass transfer, surface adsorption and desorption, transitions to and from the bulk metal, and diffusion within the metal. The identification of pinholes in the generator area of plant is an important safety consideration, as hydrogen build-up gives rise to explosion. For this type of application the sensor needs to be isolated in DI water, accordingly, a Pd membrane was used to separate the DI water. The hydrogen in the DI water was then absorbed on the Pd thin film and diffused into the oil through the thin film. The Pd/Pt gate MISFET sensor, encapsulated by oil, will thereby detect permeated hydrogen.
