산업체에서 사용하고 있는 칠러 냉각 장치에는 침전물이나 부유물이 많이 발생한다. 칠러 냉각장치에 마그네슘을 적용시켰을 때 나타나는 냉각수와 침전물 및 부유물의 변화를 연구하기 위하여 ICP-AES, IC, XRD, SEM 분석을 실시하였다. 칠러 냉각장치에 Mg를 적용할 경우 대부분의 용해 성분이 감소하는 경향을 보여주고 있어 냉각수의 수질이 상당히 개선되었다. 또한 유기물 형태로 존재하던 부유물이나 침전물이 거의 생성되지 않아 유기물 생성을 억제시키는 효과도 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The objectives for this study were to evaluate spatial and temporal characteristics of water quality, based on long-term water quality monitoring data during 1993~2008. We found that physico-chemical and ecological conditions in the Daecheong Reservoir (DR) were modified by the construction of upper dam (i.e., Yongdam Reservoir). total phosphorus (TP), Secchi depth (SD), and chlorophyll-a (CHL) in the DR showed significant longitudinal decreases along the headwater-to-the downlake, indicating a large spatial variation, and this gradient was more intensified during the high-flow season (monsoon). Nutrient-rich water containing high nitrogen and phosphorus in the monsoon season (July~August) passed through the reservoir as a density current in the metalimnetic depth, and also high suspended solids increased in the metalimnetic depth, especially during the monsoon. According to the deviation analysis of Trophic State Index (TSI), >50% of TSI (CHL)-TSI (SD) and TSI (CHL)-TSI (TP) values were negatives, so that inorganic suspended solids (non-votatile solids) influenced the underwater light regime against phytoplankton growth. Also, ratios of CHL:TP after the dam construction evidently increased, compared to the values before the upper dam constructions, indicating a greater yield of phytoplankton in the unit phosphorus. Overall data showed that ecological and functional changes in Daecheong Reservoir occurred after the construction of upper dam (Yongdam Reservoir).

Produced water is the largest wastestream of oil and gas exploration. It consists of various organic and inorganic compounds that hinder its beneficial use. This study compared the treatment of produced water in a batch suspended and biofilm activated sludge process. The biofilm carrier material was made from Gardenia Carinata shell. COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $NO_3-N$ removal was monitored in both the suspended (control) and floating carrier bioreactors. The results show a rapid reduction of produced water constituents in the floating carrier bioreactor. COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $NO_3-N$ removal was in the range of 99%, 98% and 97% for the floating carrier bioreactor whereas it was 88%, 84% and 83% for the control bioreactor. The rapid reduction of COD, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $NO_3-N$ clearly indicate that the floating carrier materials served as an attached growth medium for microorganisms, improved the breakdown of produced water constituents and reduced inhibition of microbial metabolic activities.

Globalization, industrialization, mining, and uncontrolled population growth have fostered a shortage of potable water. Therefore, it has become imperative to understand an effective and reasonable water purification technique. A renewed interest in electrocoagulation (EC) has been spurred by the search for reliable, cost-effective, water-treatment processes. This paper has elucidated a technical approach for getting rid of heavy metals and total suspended solids (TSS) from synthetic water using an aluminum electrode. The effect of operational parameters, such as current density, inter-electrode distance, operating time, and pH, were studied and evaluated for maximum efficiency. This study corroborates the correlation between current density and removal efficiency. Neutral pH and a low electrode gap have been found to aid the efficacy of the EC setup. The outcome indicates that a maximum TSS removal efficiency of 76.6% occurred at a current density of $5.3mA/cm^2$ during a contact time of 30 min. In the case of heavy metals remediation, 40 min of process time exhibited extremely reduced rates of 99%, 59.2%, and 82.1%, for Cu, Cr, and Zn, respectively. Moreover, kinetic study has also demonstrated that pollutants removal follows first-and second-order model with current density and EC time being dependent.

A comparison was made of population of the economically important cockle Anadara (=Scapharca) broughtoni (Bivalvia, Arcidae) inhabiting different areas of the Razdolnaya River estuary at the head of Amurskii Bay (Peter the Great Gulf, East Sea). Also, changes in cockle population density and structure, as well as in cockle growth rates during the last 20 years were studied. In all years of investigation, the morphometrical parameters and growth rates of cockles were smaller at the sites located close to the River mouth than farther down-estuary. The differences can be attributed to higher concentration of suspended particulate matter, decreased salinity and water temperature, as well as a longer exposure to these unfavorable environmental factors at sites located close to the River mouth, compared to farther sites. For two decades, cockle population density had decreased by almost 30 times at some sites in the River estuary. The main reason for this population decline is commercial over-fishing of the cockle. Besides, for the last 20 years, linear parameters of the cockles in the population decreased approximately by 30% and weight parameters, almost two times. Cockle growth rates also decreased for this period. Evidently, these facts are due to the damaging effect of dredging.

As shown during the 2009 pandemic H1N1 (A(H1N1)pdm09) outbreak, egg-based influenza vaccine production technology is insufficient to meet global demands during an influenza pandemic. Therefore, there is a need to adapt cell culture-derived vaccine technology using suspended cell lines for more rapid and larger-scale vaccine production. In this study, we attempted to generate a high-growth influenza vaccine strain in MDCK cells using an A/Puerto/8/1934 (H1N1) vaccine seed strain. Following 48 serial passages with four rounds of virus plaque purification in MDCK cells, we were able to select several MDCK-adapted plaques that could grow over $10^8PFU/ml$. Genetic characterization revealed that these viruses mainly had amino acid substitutions in internal genes and exhibited higher polymerase activities. By using a series of Rg viruses, we demonstrated the essential residues of each gene and identified a set of high-growth strains in MDCK cells ($PB1_{D153N}$, $M1_{A137T}$, and $NS1_{N176S}$). In addition, we confirmed that in the context of the high-growth A/PR/8/34 backbone, A/California/7/2009 (H1N1), A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2), and A/environment/Korea/deltaW150/2006 (H5N1) also showed significantly enhanced growth properties (more than $10^7PFU/ml$) in both attached- and suspended-MDCK cells compared with each representative virus and the original PR8 vaccine strain. Taken together, this study demonstrates the feasibility of a cell culture-derived approach to produce seed viruses for influenza vaccines that are cheap and can be grown promptly and vigorously as a substitute for egg-based vaccines. Thus, our results suggest that MDCK cell-based vaccine production is a feasible option for producing large-scale vaccines in case of pandemic outbreaks.

In this study, the microalga Neochloris oleoabundans was cultivated in a sustainable manner using diluted anaerobic digestate to produce biomass as a potential biofuel feedstock. Prior to microalgae cultivation, the anaerobic digestate was characterized and several pretreatment methods including hydrogen peroxide treatment, filtration, and supernatant extraction were investigated and their impact on the removal of suspended solids as well as other organic and inorganic matter was evaluated. It was found that the supernatant extraction was the most convenient pretreatment method and was used afterwards to prepare the nutrient media for microalgae cultivation. A bench-scale experiment was conducted using multiple dilutions of the supernatant and filtered anaerobic digestate in 16 mm round glass vials. The results indicated that the highest growth of the microalga N. oleoabundans was achieved with a total nitrogen concentration of 100 mg N/L in the 2.29% diluted supernatant in comparison to the filtered digestate and other dilutions.

This experiment was carried out to elucidate the effect of electrolytic water on the growth and infection of Phytophthora capsici. Zoospores of P. capsici did not grow on potato dextrose agar when the pathogen was cultured after suspended in electrolytifc water (pH 2.5, 3.0, 3,5) with HCI solution. When the 100 ml of electrolytic water (pH 2.5, 3.0, 3.5) was irrigated on the red pepper plants that had been inoculated by P. capsici (103 zoospores/ml), the red pepper plants were not infected but irrigated with sterilized water (pH 6.5) the red pepper plants were infected. With this result, it could be concluded that the good sterilization effect on P. capsici might be obtained by applying electrolytic water.

본 연구의 목적은 충주호 유역을 대상으로 2차원 횡방향 평균 수리 및 수질모형인 CE-QUAL-W2를 이용하여 호소내 수온분포, 부유물질 및 부영양화 과정의 변화특성을 모의하고 모형의 적용성을 평가하는 것이다. 지형 및 단면자료 구축을 위해 충주호를 남한강 본류(branch 1)와 유입 경계부(branch 2~7)로 구분하여 격자를 구성하였다. 호소 수질모델링을 위한 주요 입력 자료로 기상자료, 호소의 수온과 탁도 초기조건, 하천의 유량과 수온, 수질 경계조건 자료를 구축하였다. 이후 실측된 수온, 부유물질(SS), 총질소(TN), 총인(TP), 조류(Chl-a)에 대하여 모형의 보정(2010) 및 검증(2008)을 수행하여 모형의 적용가능성을 평가하였다. 충주호의 수온은 4월부터 표층수온이 증가하여 7월초에 성층현상이 발생되고 12월에는 연직수온분포가 일정하게 유지되었다. 집중호우 발생 후에는 성층구조가 교란되어 수온약층이 약 10 m가량 하강하였다. SS는 수온과 동일한 패턴으로 집중호우 발생 후에 증가하다가 12월에 안정화되었으며, 2008년 7월에 발생된 중층밀도류의 분포 현상을 잘 재현하였다. TN, TP의 경우 농도의 범위를 잘 재현하였지만, 모형 내에서 질소성분의 침강속도 및 인의 흡착-침전과정이 적절히 모의되지 않아 오차가 발생하였다. Chl-a의 경우 2010년과 2008년 여름의 조류의 성장패턴을 잘 반영하였지만, 모형이 횡방향 평균 유속과 농도를 사용함에 따른 모형의 한계점이 나타났다.
