Urease 활성이 중금속 이온에 의하여 저해되는 현상을 알아보기 위하여 발색시약을 사용하는 광학적인 방법으로 효소반응에 의한 암모니아 발생량을 측정하였다. 암모니아 농도에 따른 cuvette assay 시의 흡광도 중가는 암모니아 농도 3.0 mg/l 까지 직선성을 보였으며 이 때의 상관계수는 0.998(r)이었다. 중금속 이온에 의한 urease의 저해활성을 알아보기 위하여 기질에 단일 중금속 이온의 농도별 용액을 가하여 흡광도를 측정한 결과 효소의 저해도는 Hg(II)>Pb(II)>Cu(II)>Cd(II)>Zn(II) 이온의 순으로 나타났다. 한 가지의 중금속 이온 농도를 고정하고 다른 중금속 이온을 각기 다른 농도로 가하면서 urease활성을 측정하였을 때 효소의 저해도는 대체로 개별 중금속 이온에 의한 저해의 총합으로 나타났다. 상기의 결과는 본 연구의 방법이 Hg(II) 이온에 대한 선택적 검출법으로서 뿐만 아니라 여러 형태의 시료 중에 존재가능한 중금속 이온들을 정성적으로 판별하는 방법으로 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

In this research, to analyze the concentration of heavy metal ions in water, we tried to find the measuring time at which the faradaic electric currents flowing by the pure oxidation-reduction reaction from the pushing up mercury electrode of the stripping scan square wave voltammetry(SV+SWV) methods system becomes larger than the capacitance electric current. In order to do this, a method for analyzing signals using FPGA has been designed and we conducted 120 experiments using it. As a result, when the frequency of the square wave is 40Hz, The valid potential-current signal was measured from 96.6667% to 96.7155% of the end of the pulse of the forward and reverse, and the optimal signal was measured at 96.6667%. In addition, the experiment was carried out 40 times by changing the pulse height of the square wave from 10Mv to 40Mv. As a result, at a size smaller than 40Mv, there is little change in the magnitude of the potential-current, and an invalid signal was generated when it is out of this size.

EAF 더스트-점토계 소지에서 혼합비와 열처리 온도에 따른 소지 내의 중금속 총량을 측정하여 높은 증기압을 갖는 Cd, Pb, Zn 등의 중금속 성분의 휘발량을 분석하였으며 TCLP 분석을 통해 소지 내 중금속 성분의 안정화에 대해 평가하였다. 중금속 성분의 휘발은 EAF 더스트-점토의 혼합비와 열처리 온도에 크게 영향을 받으며 점토의 혼합비가 증가할수록 휘발이 효과적으로 억제되었다. 중금속 성분의 용출은 점토의 혼합비와 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 감소하였으며 안정화 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. EAF 더스트 20wt%-점토 800 wt%의 혼합비를 갖는 소지의 경우 중금속의 휘발과 용출이 거의 없었으며 XRD 분석 결과에 의하면 점토의 혼합비와 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 EAF 더스트-점토계 소지의 주결정상인 $(Zn{\cdot}Fe)Fe_2O_4$상과 quartz상의 회절강도가 감소하였으며, 이는 중금속의 휘발 억제 및 안정화 기구가 점토의 $SiO_2$ 성분에 의한 유리화 과정에 의한 것임을 나타내는 것으로 보여진다.

The flow-field of a liquid-metal system is very important for the safety analysis and the design of the steam generator of liquid-metal fast breeder reactor. Dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) is suitable for a visualization and measurement of a liquid metal flow and a two-phase flow in a metallic duct. However, the three dimensional DNR techniques is not enough to obtain the velocity information in the wide channel up to now. In this research, a high speed DNR technique was applied to visualize the heavy liquid-metal flow field in the narrow channel with the HANARO-beam facility. The images were taken with a high frame-rate neutron radiography at 250 fps and analyzed with a Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) method. The images were compared with the results of the commercial CFX code to study the feasibility of DNR technique for the measuring the heavy liquid-metal flow field. The PIV images could discern the turbulent vortex flow in the two-dimensional narrow channel.

The behavior and characteristics of heavy metals at different streams in a MSWI(Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator) with a capacity of 100tonnes/day were investigated by measuring the concentration of heavy metals and gases and analyzing their leaching data from ashes. Metal components of Cr, Cu, Cd and Pb were in higher concentrations in the fly ashes collected after the water spray tower than in the bottom ashes. It was due to condensation by a lower temperature with water spray cooling. Metal contents in the bottom ash became higher for finer particles as expected. The mass balance of heavy metals in different stream was estimated from the analyzed data in bottom ash and collected dusts at different locations. For the lower volatility of metals such as Pb, Cu, Cr, 88-97% of them remained in the bottom ash, while Cd and Hg escaped from the combustor with remaining in bottom ash of 18.4 and 0.8%, respectively. In most cases the leaching rate of fly ash showed higher values than that of bottom ash, with the their average acidities of 9.8 and 11.9 respectively.

Soil microbial functions are considered to be effective in assessing the severity of heavy metal pollution. Therefore, this study was carried out to examine the effect of heavy metals on nitrogen mineralization by measuring the releasing pattern of inorganic nitrogen ($NH_4^+$-N and $NO_3^-$-N) in a soil treated with heavy metals. A factorial combination of two heavy metals (Zn and Cd) treated with three concentrations (50, 100 and $150{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ soils) was used in a laboratory incubation. Nitrogen mineralization was determined at 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42 and 56 days after the treatments replicated four times. Soil sample free from heavy metals was served as the control. The amount of nitrogen mineralization from heavy metal treated soils was found to be decreased at an increasing rate during the first 21 days of incubation. However, as the incubation progressed, nitrogen mineralization was found to be decreased at decreasing rates. Furthermore, during this period, nitrogen mineralization in Cd treated soils was significantly lower ($P{\leq}0.05$) than that of the control. Soils treated with Cd at the concentration of $150{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ showed the lowest N mineralization throughout the incubation. Nitrogen mineralization in Zn treated soils ($50{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$) was found to be higher than the other heavy metal treated soils. On the base of present findings, nitrogen mineralization of soil could be considered as a viable assessment of the degree of heavy metal pollution.

In the stripping scan square wave voltammetry (SV+SWV) polarography that is often used to analyze the concentration of heavy metals in water, we must measure the point where the faradic current that flows by the pure oxidation-reduction reaction at the electrode is greater than the capacitive current, the frequency cannot be too high. Therefore we wanted to find the frequency range that can be measured. In order to do this, we came up with a method to analyze the signal using FPGA Soc. With this method, the frequency of the square wave was increased from 10Hz to 400Hz by 10Hz, and the measuring time of the square wave was changed from 96.695% to 96.765% by 0.005% while 1600 experiments were conducted. As a result, the frequency of the square wave maintained a stable area of potential-current within 320Hz and it was possible to measure the potential-current signal when calculating the measuring time within the frequency range of 96.7155%.

Polarography is a subclass of voltammetry where the working electrode is a dropping mercury electrode. More, I developed the experiment for raising up mercury electrode. In Voltammetry, information about an analyte is obtained by measuring the current as the potential is varied at oxidation-reduction reaction. A plot of current vs. potential in a polarography experiment shows the current oscillations correspoding to the drops of Hg falling from the capillary. The drops growth causes capacitive and faradic current. These changing current effects combined with experiments where the potential is continuously changed can result in noisy traces. The raising up type improved upon the method of dropping in hardware. In reduction of the noise, moving average smoothing method have been used. But the other procedure is introduced based on Fourier transformation. So FFT and IFFT engine was implemented and installed in my experiment. However, after experimentation, peak height as the measuring parameter gave a good linear relationship to concentration. The resolution of potential peaks of various kinds, using Zn and Cu as the example, was improved using the smoothing method.

Heavy metals, widely present in the environment, have become significant pollutants due to their excessive use in industries and technology. Their non-degradable nature poses a persistent environmental problem, leading to potential acute or chronic poisoning from prolonged exposure. Recent research has focused on separating heavy metals, particularly from industrial and mining sources. Industries such as metal plating, mining operations, tanning, wood and chipboard production, industrial paint and textile manufacturing, as well as oil refining, are major contributors of heavy metals in water sources. Therefore, removing heavy metals from water is crucial, especially for safe water supply in swimming and water sports. Iron oxide nanoparticles have proven to be highly effective adsorbents for water contaminants, and efforts have been made to enhance their efficiency and absorption capabilities through surface modifications. Nanoparticles synthesized using plant extracts can effectively bind with heavy metal ions by modifying the nanoparticle surface with plant components, thereby increasing the efficiency of heavy metal removal. This study focuses on removing lead from industrial wastewater using environmentally friendly, cost-effective iron nanoparticles synthesized with Genovese basil extract. The synthesis of nanoparticles is confirmed through analysis using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction, validating their spherical shape and nanometer-scale dimensions. The method used in this study has a low detection limit of 0.031 ppm for measuring lead concentration, making it suitable for ensuring water safety in swimming and water sports.

유해한 중금속을 다량 함유하는 EAF(electric arc furnace) 더스트를 세라믹 원료로 재활용하기 위해서 EAF 더스트, EAF 더스트-점토에 대해서 pH와 혼합비에 따른 중금속 용출농도의 변화를 분석하였다. 소성과정 중에서 발생하는 중금속의 휘발량을 소지 내의 중금속 이온의 총량을 측정하여 평가하였으며 TCLP(toxicity characteristic leaching procedure)분석을 통해 중금속 이온의 안정화 정도를 평가하였다. EAF 더스트-점토 슬러리의 pH를 10으로 조절하였을 경우에 습식혼합 여액중의 중금속 이온의 농도가 가장 낮은 값을 가졌다. pH 10의 슬러리에 대해서 혼합비와 소성온도에 따른 소지내 중금속 이온의 총량을 측정한 결과 소성온도와 EAF 더스트의 함량이 증가할수록 중금속의 휘발이 증가하였으며, 점토의 혼합비가 증가할수록 중금속 이온의 휘발이 억제되었다. TCLP 분석결과 점토의 혼합비와 소성온도가 증가할수록 중금속의 용출은 감소하였으며 중금속의 용출농도는 기준치 이하로 안정화되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.
