In the present study, an efficient mercury-tolerant bacterial strain (RS-5) was isolated from heavy-metalcontaminated industrial effluent. Under shake flask conditions, 97% of the supplemented mercuric chloride was sequestered by the biomass of RS-5 grown in a tryptone soy broth. The sequestered mercuric ions were transformed inside the bacterial cells, as an XRD analysis of the biomass confirmed the formation of mercurous chloride, which is only feasible following the reaction of the elemental mercury and the residual mercuric chloride present within the cells. Besides the sequestration and intracellular transformation, a significant fraction of the mercury (63%) was also volatilized. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of RS-5 revealed its phylogenetic relationship with the family Bacillaceae, and a 98% homology with Lysinibacillus fusiformis, a Gram-positive bacterium with swollen sporangia. This is the first observation of the sequestration and volatilization of mercuric ions by Lysinibacillus sp.

Manholes and underground spaces are installed to manage the buried heat transport pipes of the district heating system, and the corrosion damage of the equipment placed in this space often occurs. The purpose of this work is to identify locations with a high risk of corrosion damage in the air vent and to establish preventive measures based on precise analysis via sampling of heat transport pipes and air vents that have been used for about 30 years. The residual thickness of the air vent decreased significantly by reaching ~1.1 mm in thickness, and locations of 60~70 mm away from a transport pipe were the most vulnerable to corrosion. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis was performed in the corroded oxides, and it was found that chloride ion was contained in the corrosion products. Anodic polarization tests were carried out on the air vent materials (SPPS250, SS304) with varying the amounts of chloride ions at two different temperatures (RT, 80℃). The higher concentration of chloride ions and temperature are, the lower corrosion resistances of both alloys are.

The ingress of chloride ions plays a crucial role for service life design of reinforced concrete structures. In view of durability design of concrete structures under marine environment, one of the most essential parameters is the surface chloride content of concrete. However, on the basis of the results of in-situ investigation, this value has been determining in the numerous studies on the durability design of concrete structures. Hence, it is necessary to confirm the range of the surface chloride content in order to establish a unified durability design system of concrete. This study suggests a rational and practical way to calculate the maximum surface chloride content of submerged concrete under marine environment. This approach starts with the calculation of the amount of chloride ingredients in normal sea water. The capillary pore structure is modeled by numerical simulation model HYMOSTRUC and it is assumed to be completely saturated by the salt ingredients of sea water. In order to validate this approach, the total chloride content of the mortar and concrete slim disc specimen was measured after the immersion into the artificial sea water solution. Additionally, the theoretical, the experimental and in-situ investigation results of other researchers are compiled and analyzed. Based on this approach, it will follow to calculate the maximum surface chloride content of concrete at tidal zone, where the environment can be considered as a condition of dry-wetting cycles.

In this paper, the increase in chloride resistance of footing concrete at coastal area was evaluated by replacement of Mineral Admixture. In KBC 2009, the footing concrete's minimum specific concrete strength at coastal area is determined to 35MPa. However, this is criteria only based on the strength aspect. Thus, it is not considered to increase the chloride resistance by replacement of Mineral Admixture. According to the test results of chloride ions penetration resistance, 35MPa class concrete with OPC 100% shown inaccessible state. Low-strength (24~30MPa class) concretes with Mineral Admixture, however, presented better performances. In addition, chloride diffusion coefficient tests showed identical appearance. Therefore, the current KBC's chloride resistance criteria based on only concrete strength has to review for the reason it can cause many problems (ex. cost increases by growing concrete strength and the environmental issues by a lot of cement use).

Over the past few decades, a considerable number of studies on the durability of concrete have been carried out extensively. A lot of improvements have been achieved especially in modeling of ionic flows. However, the majority of these researches have not dealt with the chloride binding isotherm based on the mechanism, although chloride binding capacity can significantly impact on the total service life of concrete under marine environment. The purpose of this study is to develop the model of chloride binding isotherm based on the individual mechanism. It is well known that chlorides ions in concrete can be present; free chlorides dissolved in the pore solution, chemical bound chlorides reacted with the hydration compounds of cement, and physical bound attracted to the surface of C-S-H grains. First, sub-model for water soluble chloride content is suggested as a function of pore solution and degree of saturation. Second, chemical model is suggested separately to estimate the response of binding capacity due to C-S-H and Friedel's salt. Finally, physical bound chloride content is estimated to consider a surface area of C-S-H nano-grains and the distance limited by the Van der Waals force. The new model of chloride binding isotherm suggested in this study is based on their intrinsic binding mechanisms and hydration reaction of concrete. Accordingly, it is possible to characterize chloride binding isotherm at the arbitrary stage of hydration time and arbitrary location from the surface of concrete. Comparative study with experimental data of published literature is accomplished to validity this model.

Chemical Mechanical Polishing of chemically stable sapphire substrates is dominantly affected by the mechanical processing of abrasives, in terms of the material removal rate. In this study, we investigated the effect of electrostatic force between the abrasives and substrate, on the polishing. If potassium chloride (KCl) is added to slurry, water molecules are decomposed into $H^+$ and $OH^-$ ions, and the amount of ions in the slurry changes. The zeta potential of the abrasives decreases with an increase in the amount of $H^+$ ions in the stern layer; consequently, the electrostatic force between the abrasives and substrate decreases. The change in zeta potential of abrasives in the slurry is affected by the slurry pH. In acidic zones, the amount of ions bound to the abrasives increases if the amount of $H^+$ ions is increased by adding KCl. However, in basic zones, there is no change in the corresponding amount. In acidic zones, zeta potential decreases as molar concentration of potassium increases; however, it does not change significantly in basic zones. The removal rate tends to decrease with increase in molar amount of potassium in acidic zones, where zeta potential changes significantly. However, in basic zones, the removal rate does not change with zeta potential. The tendencies of zeta potential and that of the frictional force generated during polishing show strong correlation. Through experiments, it is confirmed that the contact probability of abrasives changes according to the electrostatic force generated between the abrasives and substrate, and variation in removal rate.

본 연구에서는 칼슘알루미네이트 시멘트(CAC) 모르타르의 수화생성물, 강도, 흡수율, 표면전기 저항성 및 염소이온 침투저항성을 실험적으로 고찰하였다. CAC 모르타르의 성능은 보통포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC) 모르타르의 성능과 상호 비교되었다. 실험 결과에 따르면, CAC 모르타르의 주요 수화생성물은 $C_2AH_8$ 및 $CAH_{10}$으로 조사되었으며, 압축 및 부착강도는 OPC 모르타르에 비하여 우수하게 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라, 표면전기 저항성 및 염소이온 침투저항성도 대체적으로 좋은 결과를 나타냄으로서, CAC의 우수한 성능도 확인하였다. 그러나, CAC 모르타르의 흡수율은 초기재령부터 OPC 모르타르에 비하여 다소 크게 나타남으로써, CAC 경화체의 표면흡수 성능을 개선하기 위한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 반면, CAC 및 OPC 혼용배합 모르타르의 역학적 성능은 CAC 모르타르에 비하여 대체적으로 다소 떨어지는 것으로 조사됨으로써, CAC계 경화체 제조시 주의가 요구된다.

본 연구에서는 해사를 사용한 초기재령 콘크리트의 자기 및 건조 수축의 구속에 의한 균열발생을 재현하기 위해 유한요소 해석을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 미시역학적 관점에서 열역학적 평형관계를 토대로 해사를 사용한 초기재령 콘크리트의 수화발열 모델, 수분이동 모델 및 건조수축 예측 모델 등의 재료 모델을 정립하여 해석알고리즘을 제안하였고 초기재령에서 해사를 사용 한 콘크리트의 자기 및 건조수축의 구속에 의해서 발생하는 구속응력의 경시변화와 그에 따른 균열발생 및 시기에 관한 균열평가를 목적으로 염분 함유량을 변화시킨 콘크리트의 시편에 대하여 일축 방향 변형구속 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 초기재령 콘크리트내 염분 함유량의 증가가 강도발현에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하는 반면 건조수축량을 증가시키므로 일축 방향 변형 구속시 동일 재령에서 높은 구속인장력이 발생하고 그로 인해 균열발생시기를 앞당기는 것을 밝혔다. 또한 구속시험과 동일한 조건으로 해사를 사용한 콘크리트 시편에 대한 응력해석을 실시하여 부재내부에 도입된 건조수축 응력 및 균열 발생의 시간 의존적 변화를 재현하여 그 타당성을 실험결과와 비교를 통해 검증하였다.
