Chromium as a constituent of rocks occurs naturally in the environment in varying concentrations. However, the human activity has changed the geochemical cycle of chromium in the environment and has caused the chromium accumulation in soils. Korean soils revealed a wide range of chromium contents depending on parent material and land use. The total chromium contents of volcanic ash soils in Jeju, which were determined using $HNO_3$ + $HClO_4$ + HF, ranged from 434 to 1,164 mg $kg^{-1}$. The 'ecological' total chromium contents extracted using conc. HCl + conc. $HNO_3$ (aqua regia) in the same soils varied in a lower range of 50-189 mg $kg^{-1}$ (averaged percentage of aqua regia contents in $HNO_3$ + $HClO_4$ + HF contents: 14.9%). Serpentine soils in Andong showed a 'ecological' total chromium content of 309 mg $kg^{-1}$ and against it granitic soils in Andong only 20 mg $kg^{-1}$. In uncontaminated forest soils of Korea, the 'ecological' total chromium contents varied from 4.89 to 106 mg $kg^{-1}$ and the soluble chromium contents determined using 0.1 M HCl ranged from 0.01 to 0.64 mg $kg^{-1}$ (averaged percentage of 0.1 M HCl contents in aqua regia contents: 0.4%). Arable lands contained more soluble chromium than reported in forest soils (averaged soluble chromium: 0.36 and 0.09 mg $kg^{-1}$, respectively). In particular, the soluble chromium contents in greenhouse, orchard and upland soils were higher than in contaminated soils near mine and industrial site (maximum contents: greenhouse 15.3 mg $kg^{-1}$; upland 12.1 mg $kg^{-1}$; orchard 8.29 mg $kg^{-1}$; mine site 4.76 mg $kg^{-1}$; industrial site 2.80 mg $kg^{-1}$). On the basis of these results a accumulation of chromium in some specific arable lands can be assumed, probably by long-continued applications of fertilizers or soil amendments containing chromium. In Korean Enforcement Decree of the Soil Environment Conservation Act soil standards for total chromium do not exist yet.

This study was initiated to investigate the physical and chemical properties of the clay mineral illite and its effect on the growth of cherry tomato (Hongjak) as affected by the forms and concentrations of illite using the bed soil in the glass house. The composition of illite was analyzed by SEM(scanning electron microscope). The cherry tomato was cultivated in the bed soil in the glass house at Chungbuk National University for 10 weeks of total duration. The application rates of illite used as particulate and powder forms were standard 1:20 (w/w), two times 1:10 (w/w), four times 1:5 (w/w) of standard application, respectively. The surface of illite used in the study appeared to be hexagonal sheet and it included K and the variety of other elements. The growth lengths of cherry tomato were 11-23% greater in the pots treated than in the untreated pots. Based on the analyses of the major cations, K, Ca, and Mg from the cherry tomato the amounts of K taken in the leaf and stem of the cherry tomato were 8-45% and 3-30% greater than untreated pots, respectively. The amount of Ca in the leaf and stem taken up by the cherry tomato were 6-39% and 11-40% greater than untreated pots, respectively. The amounts of Mg in the leaf and stem taken up by the cherry tomato were 17-62% and 19-54% greater than untreated pots, respectively. Based on the analysis for the amount of cations, such as K, Ca, and Mg taken up by cherry tomato in treated and untreated bed soil, it appears that the illite treatment enhanced the early growth of cherry tomato.

난분해성 폐수인 사진현상폐수의 $UV/H_2O_2$ 및 $H_2O_2$의 고급산화에 의한 오염물질의 제거 실험을 실시하였다. $UV/H_2O_2$ 산화에서 $H_2O_2$의 분해로 $OH^-$ 라디칼이 발생되는데 파장 190~300 nm의 UV가 반응의 촉매 역할을 한다. $OH^-$ 라디칼은 수명은 짧으나 강력한 산화력을 갖고 있는데, 이 산화력은 폐수처리에서 폐수나 액상 폐기물의 유기물질을 제거하는데 이용된다. 본 연구에서 기존의 tube형 반응조의 단점을 보완한 UV-자유반사 반응조를 제작하여 사용하였으며 UV원으로는 수은 고압램프가 이용되었다. 본 실험에서는 반응시간과 $H_2O_2$ 주입량 및 pH 변화에 따른 오염물의 처리효율의 변화를 조사하였는데 $H_2O_2$의 주입량이 증가할수록 처리효율이 높았으나 그 차이는 미미하였으며, pH 8에서 보다는 3에서 처리효율이 약간 높았으나 그 차이 역시 크지 않았다. 본 연구에서 사진현상폐수 처리의 적정 운전조건은 pH 8, $H_2O_2$ 주입량은 유입수의 COD를 기준으로 한 1.3배 화학량론적 주입으로 나타났는데, 5시간의 처리에서 $COD_{Cr}$, TOC 및 색도의 제거효율은 각각 약 47.5%, 75.0% 및 91.5%로 나타났다. 반응 후 생분해성의 지표인 BOD/COD 비는 초기 0.04에서 0.21로 약 5.3배 증가하였다.

The recycling of coal bottom ash generated from coal power plants in Korea has been limited due to heterogenous characteristics of the materials. The most common management option for the ash is disposal in landfills (i.e. ash pond) near ocean. The presence of large coarse and fine materials in the ash has prompted the desire to beneficially use it in an application such as fill materials. Prior to reuse application as fill materials, the potential risks to the environment must be assessed with regard to the impacts. In this study, a total of nine test cells with bottom ash samples collected from pretreated bottom ash piles and coal ash pond in a coal-fired power plant were constructed and operated under the field conditions to evaluate the leachability over a period of 210 days. Leachate samples from the test cells were analyzed for a number of chemical parameters (e.g., pH, salinity, electrical conductance, anions, and metals). The concentrations of chemicals detected in the leachate were compared to appropriate standards (drinking water standard) with dilution attenuation factor, if possible, to assess potential leaching risks to the surrounding area. Based on the leachate analysis, most of the samples showed slightly high pH values for the coal ash contained test cells, and contained several ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulfate, and nitrate in relatively large quantities. Three elements (aluminum, boron, and barium) were commonly detected above their respective detection limits in a number of leachate samples, especially in the early leaching period of time. The results of the test cell study indicate that the pollutants in the leachate from the coal ash test cells were not of a major concern in terms of leaching risk to surface water and groundwater under field conditions as fill materials. However, care must be taken in extending these results to actual applications because the results presented in this study are based on the limited field test settings and time frame. Structural characteristics and analysis for coal bottom ash may be warranted to apply the materials to actual field conditions.

In this study, we report the water quality characteristics of pollutants for 4 major tributaries in the Yeongsan and Sumjin river basins using statistical analysis, such as regression equation and factor analysis. The flow rate and water qualtiy data collected from 4 sampling sites(Hwangryoung A, Jiseok A, Chooryeong A, Osu A) in the Yeonsan and Sumjin river basin during the past 3 years were analyzed for 11 parameters(flow rate, dissolved oxgen, pH, water temperature, electric conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen deman, total organic carbon, total nitorgen, total phosphorus, suspended solid). The results showed that the concentrations of BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P in Hwangryoung A(HW) and Jiseok A(JS) of the Yeongsan river basin were decreased as the flow rate was increased. This means that rather than nonpoint soources, point sources affect water quality. In the cases of Chooryeong A(CR) and Osu A(OS) in the Sumjin river basin, howerever, nonpoint sources than point sources are an important factor that affects the water quality. Also, the factor analysis technique was employed to analyze principal component influencing on water quality. The results revealed that the first principal component in HW was correlated with EC, DO, T-N, water temperature. This "nitrogen influx according to seasonal pattern" factor may be interpreted. In JS, the first principal component was correlated with BOD, COD, TOC and is likely to represent "organic matter" processes. In CR and OS, BOD, COD, TOC, SS and T-P were significantly correlated and is considered as representing "Organic matter and adsorption of phosphorus on sediments influx". This study is expected to contribute to the effective pollution control/management of the surfac waters in the study sites.

본 연구는 반변천 상류에 위치한 현동, 산성, 금촌 그리고 금학 지역의 토양을 이용하여 물속에 존재하는 Cu(II), Zn(II) 및 Cd(II)과 같은 중금속 이온의 제거능을 조사하였다. 조사 지역에서 채취한 토양의 pH는 8.8~9.2로서 약알칼리성을 나타냈으며, 토양의 화학적 구성 성분 중 $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ 및 $K_2O$는 양적으로 비슷한 분포를 보였으나, $Na_2O$, $TiO_2$ $Fe_2O_3$ CaO 및 MgO는 토양마다 약간의 차이를 나타냈다. 이 지역의 토양을 XRD로 측정 결과, 석영과 장석은 공통된 광물질로 확인되었으나, 카올린, 일라이트, 몬모릴로나이트, 버뮤큘라이트 및 칼사이트는 토양에 따라 다소의 정성적 차이를 나타냈다. 또한 이들 지역의 토양을 사용하여 중금속 제거 실험을 한 결과 Cu(II), Zn(II) 및 Cd(II)의 제거 효율은 98% 이상으로 나타났으며, 특히 다른 중금속에 비하여 Cu(II)의 제거율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 보아 본 조사지역의 토양을 폐광과 같은 중금속 상시 유출 지역의 제방 및 복토재로 활용할 경우 폐광 유출수내 중금속을 보다 효율적으로 제거할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of a high-energy diet on the level of serum metabolites and on carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers. High energy diets have been used for enhancing intramuscular adipose tissue in high quality beef cattle. However, there is not much information about the physiological reactions to this diet. We hypothesized that a high energy diet would increase blood metabolites and the meat quality of Hanwoo steers during the early and final fattening periods. A $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement (High, Control, and Early, Final) in a completely randomized design was used to feed 24 Hanwoo steers. Two steers were kept in the same pen and 12 pens were used for the experiment. Blood was drawn from each steer on the first week of every other month from 11 to 28 months. Overall Average Daily Gain (ADG) and feed efficiency were not different between high energy and control diets (p > 0.05). However, Dry Matter Intake (DMI greater with the control diet than DMI with the high energy diet during the final fattening period (p < 0.05). Serum non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations were greater in the control diet group than in the high energy diet group during the final fattening period (p < 0.05). However, serum albumin, glucose, total protein, triglyceride, and phosphorus were greater in the high energy group than those of the control group (p < 0.05). Carcass traits or physico-chemical characteristics were not different between high energy diet treatment and the control. These data indicated that a high energy diet (+ 3% TDN) increased serum triglyceride during early fattening periods and decreased non-esterified fatty acids during final fattening periods in Hanwoo steers.

국내에서 재배되는 옥수수의 수확 후 버려지는 잎을 수거하여 음건하고 분쇄 한 후 실험에 사용하였다. 두 가지 용매로 추출 후 DPPH, ABTS, 총 플라보노이드 함량, 총 폴리페놀 함량을 측정하여 항산화 활성을 분석하고, Paper disc diffusion method 로 clear zone의 직경을 측정 하였다. 그 결과 에탄올 추출물이 모든 항산화활성과 항균활성에서 다소 높은 결과를 나타내었다. Gallic acid를 표준물질로 하여 총 polyphenol 함량을 측정한 결과 CE는 $31.2{\pm}5.2mg\;GAE/g$로 높은 활성을 보였고, DPPH radical 소거능 측정 결과 CE는 1, 10, 100, 1,000 (${\mu}g/mL$) 농도에서 각각 $4.6{\pm}0.9%$, $6.4{\pm}0.5%$, $22.9{\pm}0.6%$, $83.2{\pm}0.2%$로 나타나 농도 의존적 경향을 보였으며 1,000 (${\mu}g/mL$)에서는 매우 높은 활성을 보였다. 지금까지 옥수수와 옥수수 수염에 대한 연구는 많지만 페기 되는 잎에 대한 연구는 없어 본 연구가 새로운 천연 항산화, 항균 효능을 가진 원료개발의 기초 자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 고방사성해수폐액에 함유되어 있는 주요 고방사성 핵종인 Cs을 제거하기 위하여 IE911 (crystalline silicotitanate)에 의한 흡착 제거를 수행하였다. Cs의 효율적 흡착제거 및 2차 고체폐기물의 발생량을 최소화하기 위하여 IE911-Cs 흡착은 m/V (흡착제 질량/용액 부피) 비=2.5 g/L, 흡착시간은 1 시간 정도가 효과적이었다. 이때 Cs은 약 99%, Sr은 5% 이하가 각각 흡착되었다. 또한 IE911-Cs 흡착은 Langmuir 등온식 및 유사 (pseudo) 2차 속도 식으로 표현할 수 있으며, 흡착속도상수(k₂)는 Cs의 초기농도 및 입자크기 증가에 따라 감소하는데 반하여, m/V 비, 온도 및 교반속도 증가에 따라서는 증가하고 있다. IE911-Cs 흡착의 활성화에너지는 약 79.9 kJ/mol 로, IE911-Cs 흡착이 보다 강력한 결합 형태를 이룬 화학적 흡착임을 보여주고 있다. 그리고 음수 값의 Gibbs 자유에너지 및 엔탈피는 IE911-Cs의 흡착반응이 정반응의 발열반응이고, 저온에서 반응이 상대적으로 활발함을 의미하며, 음수 값의 엔트로피는 흡착된 Cs이 IE911에 균일하게 정렬되어 있음을 나타낸다.
