The aim of this paper is to correlate the release characteristics of marine and lake sediment with their vicinal oxic conditions. We performed lab-scale simulation experiments using field sediment and water in order to compare the release concentrations and the release rates one another. To provide a few different kinds of oxic environments we used natural air flow and some oxygen releasing compounds such as $CaO_2$ and $MgO_2$. In case of phosphates, in each oxic condition, removal of phosphorus via biological activity and that via salt precipitation with the metal ions lowered the release rates. The behavior of the nitrogen-origin salts seemed to greatly depend on the typical biological actions - growth of biomass, nitrification, and partial denitrification. Generally speaking, the control of releases of $NH_3$-N, $PO_4$-P, T-N and T-P was successful under the oxic conditions meanwhile COD, nitrates and nitrites were difficult to reduce the releases into the bulk water because of the considerable microbial oxidation. Based on typical diffusive mass transfer kinetics the changes of concentrations of the nutrients were computed for qualitative and quantitative comparisons.

본 연구는 호수바닥에 있는 인의 용출 메카니즘을 규명하고자 유기물이 없는 시료(흙)에 호기성과 혐기성 실험하여 인 용출을 연구하였다. T-P의 증가 대부분은 $PO_4-P$ 증가에서 기인됐고, 약 pH 4-7 정도에서 $PO_4-P$는 호기, 혐기 그리고 pH 변화에도 점진적인 증가를 나타낸 원인은 한번 용출된 $PO_4-P$는 탁도에 흡착되지 않고 용존 하면서 계속해 탁도물질에서 $PO_4-P$를 용출하기 때문이다. T-P, 탁도, pH 그리고 DO의 유사한 변화 양상은 시료의 포도당 분해 시 DO 감소로 혐기화되면 유기산이 생성되어 pH가 감소하고, 탁도물질은 pH 감소로 침전이 촉진되며, 침전된 탁도물질은 미생물의 분해작용이 없어도 인이 용출된다. 이 메카니즘은 호수 바닥으로부터 물로 공급되는 인을 이해할 때 대단히 중요하다.

밀집된 축사의 영향으로 충적층 지하수가 질산성 질소로 심하게 오염되어 있는 소유역을 흐르는 화봉천 수질의 계절 변화를 연구하였다. 이 하천에서 축산폐수의 직접 유입이 확인되었으며, 오염된 지하수 유입으로 인한 수질 변화가 나타났다. 건기에는 축산폐수의 직접 유입이 하천수질에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 우기에는 강수에 의한 희석효과에도 불구하고 지표수의 질산성 질소 농도가 오히려 증가하였으며, 질산성 질소로 오염된 지하수 유입량 증가가 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 지하수의 하천 유출은 산소, 수소 동위원소 조성을 이용하여 증명하였다. 질산성 질소 농도는 화봉천이 청미천보다 상대적으로 높으므로, 화봉천 유업에 의해 청미천의 질산성 질소 농도가 증가되고 있으며, 하천수의 질산성 질소 농도가 높아지는 우기에 이러한 수질 영향이 더욱 커졌다.

Methane is partially oxidized to produce the syngas by the lattice oxygen of metal oxides in the absence of gaseous oxygen. The present work deals with ferrite including copper component, which does not chemisorb methane, to investigate the suppression of the carbon deposition during the reduction of metal oxides by methane. Iron-based oxides of $Cu_xFe_{3-x}O_4$(X=0.25, 0.5, 1.0) was synthesized by the co-precipitation method. Thermogravimetric Analysis(TGA) was used to observe the isothermal reduction behavior of $Cu_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ and $Fe_3O_4$ at $600-900^{\circ}C$ under methane atmosphere. The crystal structures of reduced specimens were characterized by X-rays powder diffraction(XRD) technique. From the analyses of TGA, it is concluded that the reduction kinetics of $CuFe_2O_4$ was the fastest among $Fe_3O_4$ and $Cu_xFe_{3-x}O_4$(X=0.25, 0.5, 1.0). The X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that $Cu_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ was decomposed to Cu and $Fe_3O_4$ phase at $600^{\circ}C$ and was reduced to Cu and Fe phase at $800^{\circ}C$. $Fe_3O_4$, which was reduced at $900^{\circ}C$, showed Fe, graphite and $Fe_3C$ phases. On the contrary, $Cu_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ does not show the graphite or $Fe_3C$ phases. This results infer that Cu component suppress the carbon deposition on Cu-ferrite.

B시 S하수처리장에서 화학침전 공정에서 MLE 공정으로 공법을 변경하였으며, 생물학적으로 탈질시 부족한 탄소원을 보충하기 위해 외부탄소원이 요구되었다. 본 연구에서는 약 4.7%의 아세트산을 포함하는 TPA(Terephthalic Acid) 생산부산물의 대체탄소원으로 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 NUR(Nitrate Uptake Rate) 및 OUR(Oxygen Uptake Rate) 실험과 현장 적용실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 TPA 생산 부산물은 일반 상용 외부탄소원으로 널리 쓰이는 메탄올보다 빠른 순응특성을 나타내었고 비탈질율이 $8.24mg{NO_3}^--N/gVSS/hr$, 단위 질산성 질소 제거당 COD 소모비는 $3.70COD_{Cr}/g\;NO_3$, RBDCOD 함량 99.4%로 나타났다. S하수처리장에 대한 TPA 생산부산물 현장 적용 실험을 통해 안정적인 영양염류 제거효율을 나타내었으며 방류수 T-N 농도가 8.2 mg/L로 생물학적 탈질에 요구되는 탄소원을 보충할 수 있는 대체탄소원으로 적합하다고 판단되었다.

This study investigated the degradation characteristics and biodegradability of phenol, refractory organic matters, by injecting MgO and CaO-known to be catalyst materials for the ozonation process-into a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma. MgO and CaO were injected at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2 g/L, and the pH was not adjusted separately to examine the optimal injection amounts of MgO and CaO. When MgO and CaO were injected, the phenol decomposition rate was increased, and the reaction time was found to decrease by 2.1 to 2.6 times. In addition, during CaO injection, intermediate products combined with Ca²⁺ to cause precipitation, which increased the COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal rate by approximately 2.4 times. The biodegradability of plasma treated water increased with increase in the phenol decomposition rate and increased as the amount of the generated intermediate products increased. The biodegradability was the highest in the plasma reaction with MgO injection as compared to when the DBD plasma pH was adjusted. Thus, it was found that a DBD plasma can degrade non-biodegradable phenols and increase biodegradability.

Polysaccharides of marine algae exhibit different structural characteristics and interesting biological functions. In this study, crude polysaccharides (CP) of eleven Sri Lankan marine algae obtained through hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation were investigated for DPPH, alkyl, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities using electron spin resonance spectrometry and for intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging activity in the Chang liver cell line. Characterization of CPs was done by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and by analysis of the monosaccharide composition. Time-dependent density functional theory quantum-chemical calculations at the RB3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level for constructed dimeric units of the corresponding polysaccharides were used to resolve the FTIR spectra. CPs from Chnoospora minima showed the highest DPPH and alkyl radical scavenging activities and higher intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging effects for both AAPH and $H_2O_2$ induced ROS production in "Chang" cells. The major polysaccharide constituent in C. minima CP was identified as fucoidan and it displayed a higher sulfate content. The degree of sulfation of these polysaccharides suggests a positive correlation with the observed antioxidant properties.

양파가공부산물인 양파껍질을 이용하여 산업체에서 활용 가능한 추출공정으로 다양한 항산화활성 변화를 확인 하였다. 양파껍질 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량은 OPME-1에서 233.90 mg/g으로 가장 높게 나타났으며, DPPH법에 의한 항산화활성의 $IC_{50}$값은 OPMPE-1에서 1.15 mg/mL로 가장 높은 radical 소거활성을 나타났다. ABTS에 의한 총 항산화력은 OPM에서 432.78 mg AA eq/g으로 높은 항산화활성을 나타냈으며, 환원력은 OPMPE-1에서 1.69 $A_{700}$으로 높게 나타났고, ORAC 지수는 OPMPE-1에서 $318,509{\mu}M\;TE/mL$로 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 연구결과 실제 산업체에서 양파껍질 추출물을 제조할 때 활용 가능한 추출공정은 여러 번 반복 추출을 하는 것보다 1회 추출만 하는 공정이 항산화 활성 결과 기능성 식품소재 원료로 활용이 더 유리할 것으로 사료된다.

Struvite (MgNH₄PO₄ ⋅ 6H₂O) and hydroxyapatite (HAP, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂) precipitation in urine-separating toilets (NoMix toilets) causes severe maintenance problems and also reduce the phosphate and calcium content. Application of urine separating technique and extraction of by-products from human urine is a cost effective technique in waste water treatment. In this study, we extract urine calcite from human urine by batch scale method, using urease producing microbes to trigger the precipitation and calcite formation process. Extracted urine calcite (calcining at 800℃) is a potential adsorbent for removal of heavy metal(loid)s like (Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺ and As³⁺) along with additional leaching analysis of total nitrogen (T-N), phosphate (T-P) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The transformations of calcite during synthesis were confirm by characterization using XRD, SEM-EDAX and FT-IR techniques. In additional, the phosphate leaching potential and adsorbate (nitrate) efficiency in aqueous solution was investigated using the calcinedurine calcite. The results indicate that the calcite was effectively remove heavy metal(loid)s lead up to 96.8%. In addition, the adsorption capacity (q_e) of calcite was calculated and it was found to be 203.64 Pb, 110.96 Cd, 96.02 Zn, 104.2 As, 149.54 Cu and 162.68 Ni mg/g, respectively. Hence, we suggest that the calcite obtain from the human urine will be a suitable absorbent for heavy metal(loid)s removal from aqueous solution.

The latest-Quaternary paleoceanographic history of the Ulleung Basin, the East Sea (the Sea of Japan) is reconstructed on the base of planktonic foraminifera, oxygen and carbon isotopes, and accelerator mass spectrometer radiocarbon (AMS-$^{14}$C) data from two cores. Sinistral populations of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma are dominant during the last glacial period while dextral forms of Neogloboquadrina pachydeyma are abundant in the Holocene. An abrupt increase in ${\delta}^{18}$O values in both cores that began about 11 ka B.P may indicate the Younger Dryas cooling episode. A low-salinity event, marked by light ${\delta}^{18}$O values (0-1 %), is observed before the Younger Dryas event. As previous works suggested, the low-salinity event is probably due to the freshening of surface water caused by fresh water input from Huang Ho river and/or the excess of precipitation over evaporation. The lowest salinity water in the Ulleung Basin was probably continued from approximately 18 ka B.P. to 15 ka B.P. The ${\delta}^{18}$O values have gradually decreased since the Younger Dryas as a result of the continuous inflow of the warm Tsushima Current into the East Sea.
