This paper is focused on the comprehensive and detailed interpretation for the chemical transformation of individual Asian dust (hereafter called "AD") particles during long-range transport from source regions to receptor area. A multi-stage particle sampler was operated at a ground-based site in Taean, Korea directly exposed to the outflow of air masses from China during AD period in April 2003. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses for size-classified individual particles were carried out by a microbeam X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method and a microbeam Particle Induced X-ray Emission (micro-PIXE), respectively. Among major characteristic elements, the elemental masses of soil derived components, sulfur, and chloride varied as a function of particle size showing the monomodal maximum with a steeply increasing at 3.3-4.7 ${\mu}m$ particle size. Although the details on chemical composition of AD particle collected on a straight line from source area to our ground-based site are needed, a large amount of Cl coexisted in and/or on AD particles suggests that AD particles collected in the present study might be actively engaged in chemical transformation by sea-salt and other Cl containing pollutants emitted from the China's domestic sources. Through the statistical analyses it was possible to classify individual AD particles into six distinct groups. The internally mixed AD particles with Cl, which has various sources (e.g., sea-salt, coal combustion origin HCl, gaseous HCl derived from the adsorption of acids to sea-salt, and Cl containing man-made particles) were thoroughly fractionated by the elemental spectra drivened by the double detector system of micro-PIXE.

LDHs(layered double hydroxides) are of use adsorbent to remove heavy metals, micro-organic pollutants as well as high concentration of phosphorus from wastewater to low concentration of surface water without pH adjustments. This study examined the generation condition of LDHs saturated with phosphorus. Less than 20% regeneration rate was obtained in the absence of alkali and regeneration solution. After the desorption of LDHs with several conditions of acid and alkali solution, more than 60% of regeneration rate could be expected in the case of using $MgCl_2$ as regeneration solution.

It is necessary to implement the management plan for the production of safe and high quality drinking water from lake Paldang. To set up the plan, the water quality items such as BOD, T-P, SS and coliform were monitored for ten years, 1997~2006, and the influence of raw water quality on the drinking water treatment process and the treated water quality was also evaluated from 2004 to 2006. In conclusion, water quality items such as turbidity(SS), T-P(eutrophication), pathogens(fecal coliforms, enterovirus, reovirus, giardia, cryptosporidium), DOC(precursor of disinfection by-products), and micro-pollutants(phthalates, VOCs, heavy metals) are should be managed to get safe and high quality drinking water from lake Paldang.

The importance of air quality monitoring is rapidly increasing. Even though state-of-the-art air quality monitoring technologies such as mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and optical measurement enable high-fidelity measurement of air pollutants, they cannot be widely used for portable or personalized platforms because of their high cost and complexity. Recently, personalized and localized environmental monitoring, rather than global and averaged environmental monitoring, has drawn greater attention with the advancement of mobile telecommunication technologies. Here, micro- and nano-technologies enable highly integrated and ultra-compact sensors to meet the needs of personalized environmental monitoring. In this paper, several examples of MEMS-based gas sensors for compact and personalized air quality monitoring are explained. Additionally, the principles and usage of functional nanomaterials are discussed for highly sensitive and selective gas sensors.

Road runoff, one of non-point source pollutants, contains various heavy metals, most of which flow into discharge waters without being treated. The mechanism of removing the heavy metals in water is similar to that of removing micro-particles. Therefore, it is considered that it is possible to remove a lot of the heavy metals contained in the road runoff by filtering or absorbing them. In this paper, performed has been a basic study on the characteristics of UNFS (Up Flow Non-Point Source Filtering System) using carbide pellet and zeolite pellet as double-layer filtering mediums to treat the road runoff. The removal rate with filtering and absorption time has been shown as follows: 29.0% for Cr; 27.8% for Cd; 25.7% for Fe; 25.4% for Co; 21.2% for Pb; ]9.6% for Zn; 18.2% for Al; 17.0% for Mn; 11.3% for Ni; 7.5% for Cu. The overall removal rate according to influx change has been shown to be approximately 30%, and the load of heavy metals flowing out in initial precipitation could be reduced by using carbide as a recycling filtering medium. When the removal as coarse particles settle is added up, it is expected that UNFS will result in a higher removal rate.

Size distribution of particulate water-soluble ion components was measured at Gosan, Korea using a micro-orifice uniform deposit impactor (MOUDI). Sulfate, ammonium, and nitrate showed peaks in three size ranges; Sulfate and ammonium were of dominant species measured in the fine mode ($D_{p} < 1.8 {\mu}m$). One peak was observed in the condensation mode ($0.218\sim0.532{\mu}m$), and the other peak was obtained in the droplet mode ($0.532\sim1.8{\mu}m$). Considering the fact that the equivalent ratios of ammonium to sulfate ranged from 0.5 to 1.0 in these size ranges, it is inferred that they formed sufficiently neutralized compounds such as ($NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4} and (NH_{4})_{3}H(SO_{4})_{2}$ during the long-range transport of anthropogenic pollutants. On the other hand, nitrate was distributed mainly in the coarse mode ($3.1\sim6.2{\mu}m$) combined with soil and sea salt. Two sets of MOUDI samples were collected in each season. One sample was collected when the concentrations of criteria air pollutants were relatively high, but the other represented relatively clean air quality. The concentrations of sulfate and ammonium particles in droplet mode were the highest in winter and the lowest in summer. When the air quality was bad, the increase of nitrate was observed in the condensation mode ($0.218\sim0.282{\mu}m$). It thus suggests that the nitrate particles were produced through gas phase reaction of nitric acid with ammonia. Chloride depletion was remarkably high in summer due to the high temperature and relative humidity.

첨단 전자산업 폐수 처리시설에서 발생되는 유기 폐수는 고농도의 유기물질 및 20가지 이상의 유독 난분해성 물질을 포함하고 있으며, 이를 효율적으로 처리하는 것은 첨단 전자산업의 당면 과제이다. 따라서, 첨단 전자산업 유기폐수 처리시설을 CPS (Cyber physical system)상 Water digital twin으로 구축하여 COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), TN (Total Nitrogen), TP (Total Phosphorous) 및 TMAH (Tetramethylammonium hydroxide) 등 유기 오염물질의 제거 효율 평가가 가능한 전자산업 폐수 특화 모델 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 첨단전자산업 유기폐수 제거 메커니즘에 대한 분해 미생물의 성장과 사멸의 이론적인 반응속도식에 기반한 첨단 전자산업 폐수 특화 활성슬러지 모델(Electronics industrial wastewater activated sludge model, e-ASM)을 개발하였다. 개발한 e-ASM은 전자산업 폐수처리공정에서 발생하는 유기물 산화, 질산화, 및 탈질화 과정뿐만 아니라 TMAH 등 난분해성 유기물질의 분해과정 중 발생하는 질산화미생물의 저해(Inhibition) 작용 등 복잡한 생물학적 분해 메커니즘이 모사 가능하다. 이를 활용하여 실제 전자산업 유기폐수 처리시설을 Water Digital Twin으로 구현하여 CPS (Cyber physical system) 상에서 전자산업 폐수처리장에 폐수 유입 성상에 따라 공정 모델링, 유출수 예측, 공법 선정, 설계 효율 평가 등 다양한 목적으로 활용될 수 있다.

여러 오염물질 사이의 흡착 경쟁, 평형, 물질확산의 상호 연관성을 이해하는 것은 효율적인 활성탄 흡착탑 설계 및 운전을 위하여 중요하다. 흡착탑내에서의 오염물질의 확산 및 흡착 현상을 동역학적 및 수학적으로 예측하기 위하여 "Micro-Diameter-Depth Adsorption System" Technique을 개발하여 평형 및 물질확산 계수들을 측정하였다. 활성탄 입자의 외부 "Film Transfer"와 입자 내부에서의 "Surface Diffusion"을 고려한 오염 물질 사이의 흡착경쟁, 탈착, Chromatographic Displacement Effect 등을 Homogeneous Surface Diffusion Model(HSDM)을 이용하여 예측했다. p-Chlorophenol(PCP)/p-Nitrophenol(PNP)의 Breakthrough Curve에서 PCP는 PNP에 의해 Displace되는 현상을 볼 수 있었으며 HSDM은 이를 잘 예측하였다. Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS)는 흡착된 DBS의 일부분이 비가역적 흡착반응을 보인다는 가정하에서 HSDM에 의해 잘 예측될 수 있었다.

복류수와 천변여과지 그리고 점차 여과거리가 짧아지고 있는 우리나라의 강변/하상여과 등이 가지는 미량오염물에 대한 저항능력을 평가하기 위하여 5 m 길이의 모래칼럼을 이용한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 우리나라 하상의 토양은 유기물 함량이 상당하여 염소이온의 토양표면 흡착이 비교적 활발함 알 수 있었다. 페놀은 칼럼의 여과수에서 검출되지 않았고, 1,4-다이옥산과 다이아지논은 하상토양과 흡착반응을 일으키면서 이동하며, 2.5 m의 이동과정에서 1,4-다이옥산의 첨두농도는 유입농도의 약 40%로 그 농도가 감소하였고, 다이아지논의 첨두농도는 약 60%로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 실규모 설비에서는 여과거리가 5 m 보다 더 길기 때문에 첨두농도의 감소효과는 상당히 클 것으로 기대되었다.
