In order to measure the vertical fluxes of particles and reactive radionuclides such as thorium and polonium isotopes, Dunbar-type sediment traps were freely deployed at the Ulleung Basin and in warm and cold water masses around the polar front of the East Sea. We estimated the ratios of the catched (F) to the predicted $^234$Th fluxes (P) using natural tracers pair $^234$Th-$^238$U. The F/P ratios are decreased with increasing water depth. Whereas the concentrations of suspended particles are homogeneous in water column, the mass fluxes are also decreased with increasing water depth like the F/P ratios. These facts indicate that organic matters of settling particles are destructed within the euphotic layer due to decomposition. Whereas regenerations of sinking particles are negligible in the cold water mass, about 80% of them are regenerated in the warm water mass during falling of large particles. These downward mass fluxes are closely correlated with their primary productions in euphotic zone. The activities of $^234$Th, $^228$Th and $^210$Po in the sinking material were increased with water depth. Because $^234$Th steadily produced in the water column are cumulatively adsorbed on the surface of sinking particles, vertical $^234$Th fluxes were observed to increase with water depth. Therefore, these sinking particles play important roles in transporting the particle reactive elements like thorium from surface to the deep sea. The scavenging processes including adsorption and settling reactions generate radio-disequilibrium between daughter and parent nuclides in water column. The activity ratios of $^234$Th/$^238$U and $^228$Th/$^228$Ra were observed to be < 1.0 in the surface water and approached to be equilibrium below the thermocline. The extent of the deficiency of daughter nuclides compared to the parents nuclide was highly correlated with the vertical particle flux. Because most of the $^210$Po in the surface water are scavenged on a labile phase and are recycled at sub-surface depths (< 200 m), the $^210$Po are always observed to be excess activities compared to $^226$Ra in surface water.

A time-series sediment trap was deployed at 1,034 m water depth in the eastern Bransfield Strait for a complete year from December 25, 1998 to December 24, 1999. About 99% of total mass flux was trapped during an austral summer, showing distinct seasonal variation. Biogenic particles (biogenic opal, particulate organic carbon, and calcium carbonate) account for about two thirds of annual total mass flux $(49.2\;g\;m^{-2})$, among which biogenic opal flux is the most dominant (42% of the total flux). A positive relationship (except January) between biogenic opal and total organic carbon fluxes suggests that these two variables were coupled, due to the surface-water production (mainly diatoms). The relatively low $\delta^{13}C$ values of settling particles result from effects on C-fixation processes at low temperature and the high $CO_2$ availability to phytoplankton. The correspondingly low $\delta^{l5}N$ values are due to intense and steady input of nitrates into surface waters, reflecting an unlikely nitrate isotope fractionation by degree of surface-water production. The $\delta^{l5}N$ and $\delta^{l3}C$ values of sinking particles increased from the beginning to the end of a presumed phytoplankton bloom, except for anomalous $\delta^{l5}N$ values. Krill and the zooplankton fecal pellets, the most important carriers of sinking particles, may have contributed gradually to the increasing $\delta^{l3}C$ values towards the unproductive period through the biomodification of the $\delta^{l3}C$ values in the food web, respiring preferentially and selectively $^{12}C$ atoms. Correspondingly, the increasing $\delta^{l5}N$ values in the intermediate-water trap are likely associated with a switch in source from diatom aggregates to some remains of zooplankton, because organic matter dominated by diatom may be more liable and prone to remineralization, leading to greater isotopic alteration. In particular, the tendency for abnormally high $\delta^{l5}N$ values in February seems to be enigmatic. A specific species dominancy during the production may be suggested as a possible and speculative reason.

To effectively cope with a complexity of kinematic metrology due to workspace enlargement of the planar stage, the linear induction motor is suggested as its new driving source. Especially, the linear induction motor under uniform plate type of secondary doesn't inherently have a periodical force ripple which is generally shown in the brushless DC motor. But, it presents a poor transient characteristic at zero or low speed zone owing to time delay of flux settling, resulting in slow response. To improve the servo property of linear induction motor and apply successfully it to the precision stage, this paper discusses a modified vector control methodology. The controller has a novel input form, fixed d-axis current, q-axis current and forward-fed DC current, to control thrust force and normal force of the linear induction motor independently. Influence of the newly introduced input and the feasibility of controller are validated experimentally.

Because of being produced a great deal of excess sludges from biological wastewater treatment process, the subject regarding treatment and disposal of them has been significantly handled in real plants. It should be considered the alternative treatment with easy operating and cost effective process in rural areas. For the thickening of wasted activated sludge from small scale wastewater treatment facilities, thus, the provisional sludge thickening system was developed by the application of mesh filter module. Three meshes with different pore size(100, 150, $200{\mu}m$) were prepared for filter modules that were used to withdraw effluent from thickening system. A filter module with $100{\mu}m$ mesh was chosen as the most effective thickening material in the viewpoint of volume reduction and effluent quality: the volume reductions of initially injected sludge with 3,600 mg/L and 9,100 mg/L were 95% and 85%, respectively, and the filtered effluents were enough good to be shown below 1.0 mg/L of SS and 1.0 NTU of turbidity. Since the filtration of thickening was influenced by the cake layer formed on mesh filter module and this system was operated in the combination of sludge thickening with gravity settling, the filter modules with smaller pore size and the larger floc size were required for long term operation safely.

A lab-scale apparatus for turbid water transport control was tested and examined. The channel had a dimension of $100cm{\times}30cm{\times}15cm$ (length${\times}$hight${\times}$width). And the turbidity water was prepared using two types of particles, bentonite and loess. The channel equipped with filamentous mat was operated under various shock load conditions. In the control channel, instantly, turbid water mixed with the clean water inside the channel and turbidity prevails the entire channel. While in the mat-equipped channel, it increases only at the bottom. Overall, the filamentous mat gave capture efficiency of 70~90% compared with the control group. The capture efficiency of turbid particles decreased with increased input turbidity flux. The result of experimental run on how turbid particles are separated in the mat channel shows that settling, filtration and attachment are the main processes. Meanwhile, turbidity was diffused from the channel bottom due to turbidity gradient before and after mat zone. The particle size before mat zone was lightly coarser than that after mat zone.

Nonylphenol is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that is the degradation product of the nonionic surfactants nonylphenol ethoxylates. To understand the contamination and behavioral characteristics of nonylphenol, we measured the nonylphenol concentrations in surface water in the lower reaches of the Suyeong River, Korea. The results were used to estimate the material balance. The target area was divided into three regions to estimate the material balance of nonylphenol. In region 1, in flux of the dissolved nonylphenol was 282.3 g/day and the nonylphenol influx in particulate suspended solids was 1,582.8 g/day. The dissolved nonylphenol outflow discharged toward region 2 was 192.5 g/day, while the adsorption to particulate suspended solids was 89.8 g/day. Within the particulate suspended solids, the outflow to region 2 was 1,250.0 g/day, while the estimated amount settling in the sediments was 422.7 g/day. The adsorption of dissolved nonylphenol to the particulate suspended solids in regions 1 and 2 was 31.8% and 54.9%, respectively. In region 3, the desorption rate was 8.8%.

마산만에 대하여 stella 프로그램을 이용한 Tributyltin모델을 구축하였으며, 민감도 분석 및 물질수지를 산정하여 수질관리의 기초자료로 제공하였다. 민감도 분석결과 수층과 유기 입자내 Tributyltin의 경우는 침강속도와 분배계수에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 식물플랑크톤 체내의 Tributyltin의 경우는 식물플랑크톤의 생물농축계수가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자로 나타났다. 따라서 추후의 Tributyltin에 대한 모델 적용 시에는 이들 계수에 대한 정밀한 고찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 대상해역의 Tributyltin 현존량은 수층의 Tributyltin량이 3.29×10⁴g, 플랑크톤 체내의 Tributyltin량이 1.16×10²g, 입자상 유기물내의 Tributyltin량이 3.17×10³g로 나타났다 상간의 전환경로는 입자상 유기물로 분배되는 경로가 1.64×10³g/day로 가장 크게 나타났으며, 다음이 저질로의 침전으로 1.52×10³/g/4ay이었으며 외해로의 유출이 1.32×10³g/4ay로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 조력발전소 가동 이후 퇴적물 내 공간적 중금속 오염변화 특성을 알아보기 위하여, 2015년 표층퇴적물, 퇴적물 코어, 입자성 침강물질 내 중금속 농도를 분석하고 가동 이전인 2009년과의 비교를 실시하였다. 2015년에 채취한 표층퇴적물 내 중금속의 평균 농도는 조력발전소 가동 이전인 2009년에 비해 8% (Cd)~31% (Zn, Hg) 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 분석된 8개 원소를 모두 포함한 오염부하지수(PLI)를 계산한 결과, 2015년 자료가 2009년에 비해 중금속 오염도가 18% 감소하였다. 하지만 2015년에도 산업단지에 인접한 상류지역에서는 여전히 Cu, Zn, Pb가 주의기준(TEL)을 초과하였다. 조력발전소 가동 이전에 비해 2015년 중금속에 오염된 퇴적 깊이는 S6 정점에서는 15 cm, S7 정점에서는 12 cm 증가하였으나 중금속의 평균농도는 감소하였다. 입자물질의 총 침강속의 평균은 2009년에 32.5 g/㎡/d에서 2015년 103.5 g/㎡/d로 입자의 침강량이 3.2배 높아졌다. 수층의 입자물질 증가는 조력발전소 가동에 따라 저층 퇴적물이 재부유된 것으로 판단된다. 코어 시료에서 오염 퇴적 깊이와 입자물질의 침강속 증가는 조력발전소 가동으로 인해 발생한 해류의 영향으로 저층 퇴적물이 재부유되어 다른 지역으로 이동/퇴적된 사실을 나타내고 있다. 표층퇴적물과 마찬가지로 상류지역 코어에서는 여전히 Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd이 주의기준을 초과하고 있었으며, 중금속 오염 퇴적물이 40 cm 이상 축적되어 있어 여전히 산업단지를 통한 중금속 오염이 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 조력발전소 가동에 의한 해수 유통량의 증가로 시화호 중금속 오염은 다소 감소하였으나, 산업활동을 통한 중금속의 오염은 여전히 존재하고 있으며 퇴적물 재이동을 통해 오염된 퇴적물이 시화호 외측으로 방류되어 환경 혹은 생태계에 악영향을 미칠 가능성이 있다. 따라서 금속 안정동위원소를 활용한 오염원 추적과 같은 과학적 조사와 오염원을 줄이기 위한 정책적인 결단이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
