The adsorption features of fluoride ion on the oyster shell have been investigated for the purpose of the employment of waste oyster shell as an adsorbent for the treatment of fluoride ion-containing wastewater. The major component of oyster shell was examined to be Ca with minor components of Na, Si, Mg, Al, and Fe. As the initial concentration of fluoride ion was raised, its absorbed amount was enhanced at equilibrium, however, the adsorption ratio of fluoride ion compared with its initial concentration was shown to be decreased. Also, adsorption of fluoride ion onto the oyster shell resulted in the formation of $CaF_2$ in the morphological structure of adsorbent. Kinetic analysis showed that the adsorption reaction of fluoride ion generally followed a second order reaction with decreasing rate constant with the initial concentration of adsorbate. Freundlich model agreed well with the adsorption behavior of fluoride ion at equilibrium and the adsorption reaction of fluoride ion was examined to be endothermic. Several thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption reaction were calculated based on thermodynamic equations and the activation energy for the adsorption of fluoride ion onto oyster shell was estimated to be ca. 13.589 kJ/mole.

일반적으로 고농도의 암모니아성 질소, 인 및 불소가 동시에 고농도로 함유되어 있는 반도체 폐수를 처리하기 위하여 사전에 불소를 적절한 방법으로 제거하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이를 위하여 칼슘을 이용한 제거법이 널리 채택되고 있다. 그러나 불소제거를 위하여 주입하는 칼슘은 암모니아성 질소와 인의 제거를 위한 struvite 반응에 저해를 주기 때문에 최대로 제거할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 불소와 칼슘이 함유된 폐수를 대상으로 struvite 결정화반응을 수행할 때 미치는 영향 인자에 대하여 알아보았다. 불소 농도가 증가할수록 암모니아성 질소와 인의 제거율이 급격하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 인이 암모니아성 질소보다 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 폐수중의 칼슘 농도 증가에 따른 영향은 칼슘 농도가 500 mg/L까지 struvite의 결정구조와 일치하였으나 침전물의 순도는 떨어지는 것으로 확인되었고, struvite 반응시 칼슘에 대한 영향은 인보다 암모니아성 질소가 더 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다.

The hot spring water of the north Jeonla province such as Wanggung, Jookrim, Seokjung, and Hwasim, has fluoride concentration of 3.9 mg/L, 12.7 mg/L, 1.9 mg/L, and 6.3 mg/L, respectively. These figures fairly exceed the Korean and WHO standard for potable water, which is 1.5 mg/L. Therefore, in this study, research on elimination of fluoride in a hot spring water of Jookrim region, which has the highest level of fluoride concentration level in the north Jeonla province, was carried out. In analysis of Jookrim hot spring water according to the water quality standard for potable water, pH was very high at 9.25 and the concentration of fluoride was 10 times higher than the standard at 18.2 mg/L. Other measurements were within the standard or not detected. After injecting 10g of activated carbon for elimination of fluoride, the fluoride concentration was measured at 13.5 mg/L, and when 70mL or more of alum 10 g/L solution was injected, the concentration was measured at 2.8 mg/L, and injecting 3g of lime was measured at 9 mg/L. Alum showed the best elimination performance among all individual injections. Injection of 25 mL of activated carbon and 100 mL of alum solution together reduced the fluoride concentration down to 1.3 mg/L, which is under the potable standard. Injection of lime 1g and 75 mL of alum 10 g/L solution together reduced fluoride concentration to 4.1 mg/L. From the modifying HRT, by using ion exchange resin column, the pH was stabilized when HRT was Imin and showed range of $6.7{\sim}7.8$. The fluoride concentration reduced gradually as the HRT increased, and satisfied the potable standard when HRT passed 6 min, and after 30 min HRT, the concentration of fluoride was 0.05 mg/L: almost eliminated.

The effects of boronic acid on the fluoride-selective chemosignaling behavior of a merocyanine dye were investigated. In the presence of phenylboronic acid (PBA), N-methylquinolinium-based merocyanine dye displayed fluoride-selective chromogenic signaling behavior over other commonly coexisting anions in the micromolar concentration range. Signaling is produced by a fluoride-induced displacement of the dye from its complex with PBA, resulting in a significant chromogenic signal for the fluoride ion. This signaling was successfully analyzed using a ratiometric analysis of the UV-vis absorption in response to changes in fluoride ion concentration. A PBA substituted with an electron withdrawing group was found to exhibit a more pronounced signal. Polymer-bound PBA also exhibited useful fluoride-selective signaling behavior.

불소 오염이 심각한 곳으로 파악된 충북 보은 삼승면 일대 지역의 오염의 현황과 원인 규명을 위하여 수리지구화학적 연구와 물암석 반응 실험 연구가 수행되었다. 조사 지역 암반 지하수의 불소 함량은 최대 3.9 mg/L에 이르며, 먹는물 수질기준의 불소 항목(1.5 mg/L)을 초과율은 23%에 이른다. 불소 이온의 평균 함량은 1.0 mg/L이나, 낮은 값으로의 왜도(1.3)가 크기 때문에 중앙값은 평균에 비하여 크게 적은 0.5 mg/L으로 나타난다. 불소 농도는 화강암 분포 지역에서 심부 지하수에 해당하는 $NaHCO_3$ 유형 지하수에서 상대적으로 높게 나타나고 있다. 불소와 질산염 이온($NO_3$)은 뚜렷한 부의 상관관계를 나타내고 있어 불소는 지표 오염과 상관없는 지질기원이며, 상대적으로 심부 암반 지하수에 부화되었을 가능성을 지시한다. 이것은 조사 지역의 암석을 사용한 실내 실험에서 확인되었다. 순수흑운모 화강암 반응 실험 결과 불소 함량은 96시간 후에 최대 1.2 mg/L까지 증가하였다. 그러나 불소 농도와 지하수 관정 심도, 지구화학적으로 물암석 반응의 정도를 지시할 수 있는 인자($Na^+$, $HCO_3$, pH 등)들의 값과는 뚜렷한 상관관계를 나타내고 있지 않았다. 이는 불소 이온이 물암석 반응 정도와 상관없이 함불소 광물의 국지적인 분포에 영향을 받을 수 있다는 것을 암시한다. 고농도의 불소를 함유하는 지하수의 공간분포는 선구조 분포와 연관되어 있음을 보여주고 있어, 물암석 반응이 상당히 진행되어 불소 함량이 높은 심부 암반 지하수가 선구조 분포 지역의 파쇄대를 통하여 배출되었음을 지시한다. 하지만, 선구조 분포와 불소 농도는 전체적으로는 일치하지 않아, 파쇄대의 분포가 불규칙적이고, 심부 지하수와 천부 지하수의 혼합과 정도 불균질함을 지시하는 것으로 추정된다.

The cariostatic effect of fluoride had been established by many epidemiologic and experimental studies. But, there are still different views on the mechnism of cariostasis and remineralization, especially about the proper fluoride concentration. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the remineralization of caries lesion and influence of fluoride concentration which affect remineralization by a study based on dynamic mechanism. The subjects, sound permanent teeth without demineralization or crack, were immersed in lactic acid buffered demineralization solution for 4 days. Dental caries with surface zone and subsurface lesion were artificially produced. All specimens were immersed in lactic acid buffered remineralization solution which had fluoride concentrations of 1 ppm, 2 ppm, 3 ppm for 10days. Final conclusions were obtained by observing the specimens for every 10 days under polarized microscopy. 1. Remineralization of caries lesion as well as demineralization of enamel were produced by changing the degree of saturation of lactic acid buffer solution. 2. Remineralization of caries lesion was facillitated by fluoride ion in lactic acid buffer solution. but, remineralization of the entire caries lesion was not increased as fluoride ion concentration increased.

Objectives: The goal of this study is to identify the distribution of the foliar fluorine content of vegetation surrounding the area where hydrofluoric acid was accidently released in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do on September 27, 2012. In addition, it also aims to estimate the concentration of hydrogen fluoride in the air on the day of the accident. Methods: Samples of plant leaves were collected on October 7, 2012 within 1 km from the site where the accident occurred. These samples were analyzed for soluble fluorine ion with an ion selective electrode. The ambient concentration of hydrogen fluoride was calculated using the fluoride content in the plant via the dose-rate equation (${\Delta}F$=KCT). Results: The arithmetic and geometric means of the concentrations were 2158.2 and 1183.7mg F $kg^{-1}$ for leaves and, 2.4 and 1.1 ppm HF for the air, respectively. The highest concentration of hydrogen fluoride in the air was 14.7 ppm, which is higher than the maximum concentration reported by the government (1 ppm) and the exposure limit (ceiling, 3 ppm). The concentrations of both fluorine and hydrogen fluoride decreased with increasing distance from the accident site and showed a significant decrease outside of a 500m radius from the site (p <0.05). Conclusions: The area around the accident site was highly polluted with hydrogen fluoride according to the results of this study. Considering the persistency of hydrogen fluoride in the environment, long-term monitoring and environmental impact assessment should be pursued.

The amount of fluoride removed from Antarctic krill via organic acid extraction depends on the extraction time, concentration, extraction volume, and the nature of the acid itself. The fluoride content in Euphausia superba was determined by measuring the concentration of fluoride ion in acidic extracts using an ion-selective electrode. The best results were obtained by adding 50 mL of 0.01 M citric acid to 0.3-0.5 g of krill and extracting for 5 min. Under these conditions, recoveries of fluoride from frozen whole krill and krill meat were 95.6-99.5% and 97.5-101.3%, respectively. The dry basis fluoride contents of krill by-product, krill meat and the boiled krill were 705, 298, and 575 ppm, respectively. These levels were significantly reduced by citric acid extraction.

Along with recent economic prosperity, the consumption of commercially available beverages has increased dramatically. Beverages on the market are replacing tap water and constituting an increasing large proportion of the total daily fluoride intake. If such changes in the source of fluid intake are not taken into consideration, effective fluoride intake would become difficult in the fluoridated area while there would be confusion as to the basis for proper fluoride supplement prescription in the nonfluoridated area. So, dietary consultation is recommended for every pediatric patient. This study was conducted to provide the reference for dietary consultations on the subject of fluoride supplement using 72 beverages on the market. The fluoride content was measured and the fluoride intake from each age groups was calculated using fluoride ion specific electrode and HMDS-microdiffusion technique. 1. The average fluoride concentration of the 72 beverages was $0.23{\pm}0.10ppm$, from 0.0106ppm to 2.2050ppm. 2. Natural fruit juices, diluted fruit juices, carbonated beverages and mixed beverages showed average fluoride concentration of $0.15{\pm}0.66ppm$, $0.09{\pm}0.11ppm$, $0.15{\pm}0.23ppm$, $0.50{\pm}0.66ppm$, respectively. There were significant differrence between diluted friut juice drinks and mixed beverage, and between the carbonated beverages and mixed beverges(p<0.05). 3. Using available data on the daily total consumption of beverages and the relative consumption of beverages on the market according to age, daily fluoride intake for various age groups was calculated. According to the results, 2 to 3 year-old children need 0.13mgF/day, those between 4 and 6 year-old need 0.15mgF/day, and those between 7 and 10 year-old need 0.17mgF/day.
