Sludge produced from water treatment plants contains plenty of aluminum due to addition of coagulants, polyaluminum chloride(PACI) which has been widely used in most of water treatment plants. however. the whole of PACI is imported from other countries. In this research. the effective methods for recycling PACI from sludge of water treatment plants were developed and evaluated. Aluminum chloride hexahydrate($AlCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$) was obtained by sparging HCl gas aluminum extracted from sludge using hydrochloric acid (HCI). This aluminum chloride hexahydrate was solidified by decomposition at $180^{\circ}C$. and dissolved in water to produce PACI. The optimum extraction rate was obtained at the condition of 10 minutes of reaction time. $105^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature. 27.65%(W/W) of HCI concentration. The KS experiment proved that manufactured aluminum chloride hexahydrate was 98.7% degree and the recycled PACI coagulants agreed with the KS standard. The optimum temperature of decomposition was $180^{\circ}C$ and the basicity of the PACI was decided upon the extent of decomposition The compared experiments between purchased coagulant and manufactured coagulant presented that both coagulants had same performance for turbidity, DOC, $UV_{254}$ absorbance. and chlorophyll-a.

This study was carried out to investigate the degradation of six residual pesticides (${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-Endosulfan, Cypermethrin, Fenitrothion, Hexaconazole, EPN) in red pepper powder after ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The residual ratio of pesticides after 365 nm irradiation which distance is 20 cm and irradiation time is 5 minutes were 73.4, 69.6, 60.8, 92.7, 73.8 and 90.5% in ${\alpha}$-Endosulfan, ${\beta}$-Endosulfan, Cypermethrin, Fenitrothion, Hexaconazole and EPN, respectively. The residual ratio of pesticides after 254 nm irradiation which distance is 5 cm and irradiation time is 36 hours were 74.6, 64.5, 71.1, 79.1, 79.4 and 64.7% in ${\alpha}$-Endosulfan, ${\beta}$-Endosulfan, Cypermethrin, Fenitrothion, Hexaconazole and EPN, respectively.

Photocatalytic reaction using $TiO_2$ thin film was applied for the inactivation of coliform bacteria and the degradation of formic acid. UV processes coupled with and without $TiO_2$ were tested for the river water samples. It took 5 and 15 minutes, respectively, to obtain 99% destruction of coliform bacteria in the total coliform test, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the photocatalytic reaction. Complete degradation of formic acid determined by TOC analysis was observed in 20 minutes by ozone/photocatalysis, while formic acid was degraded as little as about 20% during the first 100 minutes by ozone treatment alone. When ozone was supplied to the $TiO_2/UV$ system, however, it provided a synergetic effect for the degradation of formic acid.

A mathematical model for the synergistic interaction of physical and chemical environmental agents was suggested for quantitative prediction of irreversibly damaged cells after combined exposures. The model took into account the synergistic interaction of agents and was based on the supposition that additional effective damages responsible for the synergy are irreversible and originated from an interaction of ineffective sublesions. The experimental results regarding the irreversible component of radiation damage of diploid yeast cells simultaneous exposed to heat with ionizing radiation ($^{60}Co$) or UV light (254 nm) are presented. It was shown that the cell ability of the liquid holding recovery decreased with an increase in the temperature, at which the exposure was occurred. A good correspondence between experimental results and model prediction was demonstrated. The importance of the results obtained for the interpretation of the mechanism of synergistic interaction of various environmental factors is discussed.

Zinc nitrate hexahydrate [$Zn(NO_3){\cdot}6H_2O$] and sodium hydroxide [NaOH] were used as source reagents in the preparation of ZnO nanoparticles in an aqueous solution containing deionized water and ethanol in a ratio of 2:5 (v/v). ZnO nanoparticles were heated in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under an atmosphere of inert argon gas. The morphological and structural properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD). UV-vis spectrophotometry was used to analyze the photocatalytic degradation of 3-nitrophenol with ZnO nanoparticles as photocatalyst under ultraviolet irradiation at 254 nm. Evaluation of the kinetic of the photo-catalytic degradation of 3-nitrophenol indicated that the degradation of 3-nitrophenol with ZnO nanoparticles obeyed the pseudo-first order reaction rate model.

We report a new method of fabrication of polydiacetylene nanowire using liquid bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding (LB-nTM), a direct patterning method for the formation of two- or three-dimensional structures with feature sizes between tens of nanometers and tens of micron over large areas with various materials from a molder to a substrate via a liquid bridge between them. First, we fabricate assembled diacetylene monomer nanowire on the substrate then make it polymerize using 254nm UV-light irradiation. The Polydiacetylene nanowires have been investigated by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Nanosized palladium particles were synthesized using palladium(II) chloride, trisodium citrate dihydrate, and sodium borohydride under stirring condition. Nanosized palladium-graphene composites were prepared from palladium nanoparticles, and graphene was enclosed with polyallylamine under stirring condition for 1 h followed by ultrasonication for 3 h. Nanosized palladium-graphene composites were heated in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. UV-vis spectrophotometry was used to evaluate the nanosized palladium-graphene composites as a catalyst in the photocatalytic degradation of various organic dyes such as methylene blue, methyl orange, rhodamine B, and brilliant green under ultraviolet light at 254 nm.

ZnS:Mn-glycine (ZnS:Mn-Gly) nanocomposites were synthesized by capping ZnS:Mn nanocomposites with glycine. Zinc sulfate heptahydrate ($ZnSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$), glycine ($C_2H_5NO_2$), manganese sulfate monohydrate ($MnSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$), and sodium sulfide ($Na_2S$) were used as the source reagents. $ZnS:Mn-Gly-C_{60}$ nanocomposites were obtained by heating the ZnS:Mn-Gly nanocomposites and fullerene ($C_{60}$) at a 2:1 mass ratio in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the crystal structure of the synthesized nanocomposites. The photocatalytic activity of the $ZnS:Mn-Gly-C_{60}$ nanocomposites was evaluated, via the degradation of brilliant green (BG) dye under 254 nm irradiation, with a UV-vis spectrophotometer.

한국에서 사용하고 있는 carbamate계 살충제의 사용율(%)은 1968년경에는 2.1%인데 비해서 현재는 급증되고 있는 실정에 있다. 따라서 이로 인한 자타살 사건, 환경오염, 살포시 급만성 중독 등의 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있는 동시에 법화학적 분석에도 많은 문제점이 되두되고 있으므로 1차적으로 시판되고 있는 carbamate계 살충제를 thin layer chromatography에 의해서 성분의 분리 확인 시험을 실시한 결과 1) Silica Gel G-60 및 Silica Gel F-254에서 적합하였고 2) 전개용매는 chloroform: benzeneP: carbontetra chloride (60:30:25), cyclohexane: acetone (80:20), cyclohexane:acetone(70:30), ether:hexane(80:20)에서 9종의 살충제가 잘 분리되었으며 3) UV light (2537 ${\AA}$) 및 2.6-dibromoquinone-4-chlorimide는 전개는 Rf치를 육안으로 구분하는데 가장 양호하였고 4) Carbamate계 살충제 중 Bux-2와 Sevin은 Silica Gel G-60에서 UV light (2537 ${\AA}$)에서 특이한 청보라 및 청색형광을 관찰할 수 있었다. 5) 이상의 결과를 보아 법화학적 시료중에 함유된 카바메이트계 농약의 분석은 가능할 것이며 또한 이 방법의 적용이 현재의 실정으로서는 적합한 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

본 분석방법은 토양중에 방향성화합물을 함유한 유류 존재를 스크리닝하는 방법으로 ASTM(The American Society for Testing and Materials)에 등록되어 있으며, 수분 제거제를 이용하여 토양수분에 의한 정량 오차를 줄이고 UV-Spectrophotometer로 정량한다. 오염된 유류의 종류를 알고 있으나 동일한 유류를 구하지 못할 경우에는 일반적으로 동일종에서 얻어진 계수로 농도를 추정하며, 오염된 유류의 특성을 모를 경우에는 본 방법으로 오염여부 판단만이 가능하다. 그러나 토양에 오염된 것과 동일한 유류로 검량선을 작성할 경우에는 대략적인 정량도 가능하며, 분석방법을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 일정량의 토양시료에 CaO를 첨가하여 토양수분에 의한 영향을 제거한 뒤 이소프로필알콜(isopropyl alcohol)로 추출하여 여과한다. 여과액을 254nm의 UV파장에서 흡광도를 측정하여 오염된 것과 동일한 유류로 작성된 검량선을 이용하여 정량한다.
