The purpose of this study is to find out the source(s) and distribution of boron in Nak-dong River. In the year of 2002, the boron has been adopted as a toxic constituent for Korean drinking water standard. In this study, the analytical samples were collected at 11 stations in March, June, September and December 2002. These samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass (ICP-MS) method. The recovery, relative standard deviation and method detection limit of the ICP-MS method for boron was $89{\sim}111.3%$, $2.21{\sim}3.81%$ and $5{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The distribution of boron was ranged $65{\sim}155{\mu}g/L$ in March, $26{\sim}125{\mu}g/L$ in June, $22{\sim}140{\mu}g/L$ in September and $50{\sim}162{\mu}g/L$ in December. The higher levels of boron were found at Kum-ho river nearby the industrial complex, which seemed to be greatly affected by domestic sewages and wastewater from the upper streams. Thus, the concentration of boron and that of other components showed strong statistical correlation in this area. In the Nak-dong River, industrial wastewater and domestic sewages is thought to be the sources of boron.

빈산소 수괴는 산소 부족뿐만 아니라, 용존산소의 결핍에 따른 혐기 상태에서 생성된 황화수소와 암모니아 등 유독가스가 어 패류를 직접 폐사시키거나, 저서생물 군집의 출현종과 개체 수에도 심각한 영향을 마친다. 본 연구에서는 빈산소 수괴가 발생한 해역의 저층 해수를 펌핑하여, 액체산소를 용해시켜 용존산소 농도를 20 mg/L 이상으로 상승시킨 해수를 다시 저층으로 주입하는 장치를 개발하여 그 효능을 검토하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 해수를 $3.6\;m^2$/min 용량으로 저층에 주입하면서 액체산소를 분당 4.8~26.3 L 범위로 공급할 때, 단시간에 해수 중 용존산소 농도는 7~25 mg/L로 상승하였다. 이때 공급한 액체산소는 해수 중에 90% 이상 용해되는 것으로 나타났다 본 장치는 산소를 용해시키기 위한 별도의 탱크가 필요 없고, 해수를 수면위로 퍼 올리는 높이가 낮아도 되므로 적은 동력을 이용하여 높은 효율로 고농도의 산소를 저층에 공급할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 장치는 연안 및 호소의 저층 빈산소 수괴 발생을 저감시킬 수 있어 빈산소 수괴 발생으로 인한 양식피해를 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Since the temperature of waste heat source is relatively low, it is difficult to maintain high level of efficiency in power generation when the waste heat recovery is employed in the system. In an effort to improve the thermal efficiency and power output, use of ammonia-water mixture as a working fluid in the power cycle becomes a viable option. In this work, the performance of ammonia-water mixture based Rankine cycle is thoroughly investigated in order to maximize the power generation from the low temperature waste heat. In analyzing the power cycle, several key system parameters such as mass fraction of ammonia in the mixture and turbine inlet pressure are studied to examine their effects on the system performance. The results of the cycle analysis find a substantial increase both in power output and thermal efficiency if the fraction of ammonia increases in the working fluid.

Membrane distillation (MD), which can utilize low-grade thermal energy, has been extensively studied for desalination. By incorporating solar thermal energy, the solar membrane distillation desalination system (SMDDS) is a potential technology for resolving the energy and water resource problems. Small-scale SMDDS (s-SMDDS) is an attractive and viable option for the production of fresh water for small communities in remote arid areas. The minimum-cost design and operation of s-SMDDS are determined by a systematic method, which involves a pseudo steady state approach for equipment sizing and the dynamic optimization using overall system mathematical models. The s-SMDDS employing three MD configurations, including the air gap (AGMD), direct contact (DCMD) and vacuum (VMD) types, are optimized. The membrane area of each system is $11.5m^2$. The AGMD system operated for 500 kg/day water production rate gives the lowest unit cost of $5.92/m^3$. The performance ratio and recovery ratio are 0.85 and 4.07%, respectively. For the commercial membrane employed in this study, the increase of membrane mass transfer coefficient up to two times is beneficial for cost reduction and the reduction of membrane heat transfer coefficient only affects the cost of the DCMD system.

Two methods, precipitation and ultrafiltration, were applied in order to recover platinum group metals(PGM) by complexing them with water-soluble polyelectrolytes, e.g., polyethyleneimine [PEl], poly(2-vinylpyridine) [2-PVP], poly (4-vinylpyridine) [4-PVP], and poly (styrene sulfonic acid) [PSSA]. In the precipitation method, the PGM-polyelectrolyte complex that was formed by mixing first with polybase, e.g.,4-PVP at pH 1 was precipitated by further mixing with polyacid, e.g., PSSA. However, the recovery of PGM obtained by this method was not quantitative(less than 70%). The "sandwiching" binding between the metal anions and two polyelectrolytes was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The XPS studies indicated that the PGM atom was bound with the acdic and basic polyelectrolyte via its oxygen and nitrogen atom, respectively. The recovery of PGM using polyelectrolyte was further studied by ultrafiltration methods as follows : The PGM ions, eomplexed at pH 1 with polyelectrolyte, allowed the applicntion of membrane filtration by virtue of the great differences in molecular weights between PGM and other low molecular weight species. By applying this method, Pd and Pt (ca. $10^{-4}M$) were selectively separated almost quantitatively from coexisting metal ions, e.g., $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$. The EPR spectra and viscosity measurements indicated that these polyelectrlytes were not bound to $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ ions at this pH, which provided the basis for selective separation of PGM(Pd, Pt and Rh) from these coexisting ions.

This study was aimed to develop a more rapid, simple and sensitive method to determine ceftiofur in bovine serum using LC/MS with electrospray interface. Separation was achieved on the Nova-Pak $C_{18}$ reverse phase column. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% acetic add in water (A) and acetonitrile (B) and gradiently flowed at the rate of 0.4 mL/min. As a result of analysis of blank muscle samples, matrix interference was not shown. Limit of detection and limit of quantitaion was 5 ng/g and 20 ng/g, respectively. The values of precision and recovery satisfied the guideline of NVRQS. The precision and recovery developed in this method are suitable and sensitive to determine the concentration of ceftiofur in the bovine serum. These results could be applied for the confirmation and quantification in the biofluid.

The currently operating NASA/GFZ Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission is designed to measure small mass changes over a large spatial scale, including the mapping of continental water storage changes and other geophysical signals in the form of monthly temporal gravity field. The European Space Agency's Gravity field and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) space gravity gradiometer (SGG) mission is anticipated to determine the mean Earth gravity field with an unprecedented geoid accuracy of several cm (rms) with wavelength of 130km or longer. In this paper, we present a summary of present GRACE studies for the recovery of hydrological signals in the Amazon basin using alternative processing and filtering techniques, and local inversion to enhance the temporal and spatial resolutions by two-folds or better. Simulation studies for the potential GRACE detection of slow deformations due to Nazca-South America plate convergence and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) signals show that these signals are at present difficult to detect without long-term data averaging and further improvement of GRACE measurement accuracy.

This study was performed to analyze the purity of technical grade ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine, to establish optimal analytical condition of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine and to determine the urine sample of workers exposed to ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine. The purity of technical grade ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine were $96.5{\pm}2.38%$, $94.1{\pm}0.97%$, $97.0{\pm}0.02%$ by gas chromatography-mass selective detector. To analyze ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine, high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector and gas chromatography-electron capture detector operating conditions have been optimized by preliminary expriment. In high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector, the mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile(35%) and water(65%), and the flow rate was maintained at 1.0ml per minute. Optimal detective condition was 9.0V(10nA/V) of electrochemical detector. The recovery of sep-pak treatment method was highly estimated as pretreatment of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine. The free amine was isolated by gas chromatography-electron capture detector after basic hydrosis, sep-pak treatment, toluene elution and HFBA(heptafluoro-butyric anhydride) derivatization of urine. The recovery of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine was $98.73{\pm}3.29%$ by gas chromatography-electron capture detector. The sensitivity was more higher than that of high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector. Urinary ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine was detected in only one worker among nine workers. The level of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine was 6.42 ng/ml.

본 연구는 electron impact-gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (EI-GC/MS)를 이용하여 N-nitrosamines 분석하는 방법의 분리성, 정성 및 정량적 유효성을 평가하였다. 극미량의 검출을 위해 시료전처리는 자동고상추출과 질소농축과정을 거쳐 수행하였다. 표준시료를 전처리 없이 EI-GC/MS (SIM)와 EI-GC/MS/MS (MRM)를 이용하여 직접 분석한 결과, 두 방법 모두 유사한 감응도를 보였다. 반면, 전처리한 표준시료를 EI-GC/MS로 분석한 경우 불순물 피크에 의한 간섭영향에 의해 낮은 ng/L 수준의 정량은 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 8종의 N-nitrosamines에 대한 EI-GC/MS/MS 분석결과, 방법검출한계 및 정량한계는 각각 0.76~2.09 ng/L, 2.41~6.65 ng/L 수준으로 기존 분석방법에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. 첨가농도 10, 20, 100 ng/L에 대한 실험에서 정밀도(1.2~13.6%)와 정확도(80.4~121.8%) 모두 만족하였으며, 검량선의 직선성에 대한 결정계수($R^2$)도 0.999 이상이었다. 환경시료에 대한 대체표준물질(NDPA-$d_{14}$)의 회수율도 86.2~122.3%을 나타내어, 본 연구에서 평가된 방법으로 N-nitrosamines의 정밀분석이 가능함을 검증하였다.
