Surface sediments (0- 5 cm), mussels (Mytilus coruscus and M. edulis) and oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were sampled at 20 stations in Korean coast during a period of February to July 2000. Samples were analyzed for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer detector (GC/MSD). The sediment $\sum PAH$ concentration varied from 7 to 1,214 ng/g dry weight and the level of carcinogenic PAHs of six species ranged from 1 to 563 ng/g dry weight in surface sediments. In organisms, the levels of $\sum PAH$ were in the range of 63-876 ng/g dry weight and the concentrations of carcinogenic PAHs of six species were in the range of 4-582 ng/g dry weight. The highest PAH concentrations in sediments and organisms were in samples from Station 5 in Pohang coast and Station 8 in Jinhae coast, respectively. $\sum PAH$ concentrations in sediments and organisms collected from Korean coast were slightly low or comparable to those in other countries. The contribution of ring aromatic groups to sum of 16 PAHs in sediments and organisms showed a similar pattern for most stations. In sediments, the predominant contributions were four and five ring aromatics like fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene. In the organisms, four ring aromatics like fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene and chrysene were predominant PAH species. Several molecular indices such as phenanthrene/anthracene, fluoranthene/pyrene and LMW/HMW ratio were used to identify the origin of PAH contamination in sediments. The results indicate that PAHs of Korean coast were mainly of pyro1ytic contaminants with slight petrogenic input. A high correlation within individual PAH compound in marine sediments was observed, while correlation in organisms showed a highly significant relationship for heavier molecular weight PAHs.

미세조류는 광합성을 수행하는 독립영양생물로 배양 환경을 변화시켜 미세조류 유래 유용물질의 축적을 증대시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 미세조류 S. obliquus의 세포 성장에 주요 인자인 배지와 광원의 영향을 평가하기 위해 MBBM, Neo 배지와 7가지의 광원을 사용하여 39일 동안 배양하여 세포 성장을 측정하였다. 그 결과 MBBM과 Neo 배지에서 성장한 S. obliquus의 경우, Fluorescent light 광원과 Red2 LED (R660) 광원에서 세포 성장이 가장 높게 관찰되었고, Infra Red LED (R741) 광원에서는 세포 성장이 가장 낮게 관찰되었다. 평균 세포 성장률은 MBBM 배지에서 17.7 %, Neo 배지에서 15.4 %의 성장률을 확인하였다. MBBM과 수생식물 생산용 영양소를 포함한 Neo 배지의 건조세포무게(dry cell weight)를 비교하였을 때, Blue LED (B450)를 제외한 LED 광원에서 Neo보다 많은 세포 성장이 높은 것이 확인되었다. 이는, MBBM 배지가 Neo 배지보다 미세조류 세포량 증대에 보다 적합함이 증명되어 향후 미세조류 대량배양을 통한 유용물질 생산에 있어 광원 선정이 중요하다는 것이 확인되었다.

본 연구는 플럭 형성 비소 오염토양에 대한 토양세척기법 적용시 최적의 운전조건을 도출하고자 하였으며, 대상 시료는 D 폐철광산 토양을 선정하였다. 최적의 cut-off size는 전체 토양 중량에 대하여 약 $94\%$ 정도의 분포를 보이는 0.15 mm ($\#100$체)이었다. 수산화나트륨과 염산 모두 비소 제거에 효과적이었고, 진탕비 (토양[g]:세척용액[mL])는 2가지 세척제에 대하여 1:5가 최적 조건임을 알 수 있었다. 토양세척시 형성되는 플럭에 대하여 비소 농도를 파악한 결과, 여타 pH조건에서보다 pH $5\~6$에서 형성된 플럭의 건조 비소 농도가 $990\~1,086\;mg/kg$ dry solids로 높음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 세척효율의 향상 여부를 파악하기 위하여 토양세척시 형성되는 플럭의 제거 유무에 따른 연속 토양세척 실험을 수행하였다. 0.2 M염산을 사용하여 플럭을 제거한 토양을 염산 1 M로 세척한 다음 1 M 수산화나트륨으로 연속 세척한 결과, 비소 농도는 약 1.5 mg/kg dry soil을 보였다. 각 단계마다 발생된 세척유출수기 비소 농도는 약 $2\~3\;mg/L$이었으나, 각각의 세척유출수를 혼합하는 경우 비소 농도가 $50\;{\mu}g/L$ 이하로 감소되었는제 이는 비소가 응집${\cdot}$침전으로 제거되는데 유리한 pH조건으로 변환되기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

토양중 $^{99}Tc$의 배경준위를 측정할 수 있는 분석법을 수립하고 한국 토양중의 $^{99}Tc$ 농도를 비교 검토하였다. 토양중의 $^{99}Tc$을 분리 정제하기 위해서 선택성 TEVA수지를 사용하였다. 화학분리 회수율을 계산하기 위해 $^{99}Mo/^{99m}Tc$ 생성기에서 생산한 $^{99m}Tc$를 추적자로 사용하고 그 문제점을 검토하였다. $^{99m}Tc$추적자를 사용하여 계산한 화학분리 회수율은 70% 이상이 가능하였다. 순수 분리된 $^{99}Tc$의 측정을 위한 유도결합프라스마 질량분석기(ICP-MS)의 최적 조건을 수립하였다 이 분석법에 의한 토양의 최소검출하한치(MDA)는 15 mBq/kg-dry 이었다. 제주와 고리 주변 토양 시료의 $^{99}Tc$ 농도는 33.73-89.16 mBq/kg-dry 였다. 이러한 수치는 다른 보고치에 비하여 낮은 편이며 대기권 핵실험에서 기인한 낙진의 영향으로 추정된다.

Ceramic foams are prepared as positive images corresponding to a plastic foam structure which exhibits high porosities (85-90%). This structure makes the ceramic foams attractive as a catalyst in a dry reforming process, because it could reduce a high pressure drop problem. This problem causes low mass and heat transfers in the process. Furthermore, the reactants would shortly contact to catalyst surface, thus low conversion could occur. Therefore, this research addressed the preparation of dry reforming catalysts using a sol-gel catalyst preparation via a polymeric sponge method. The specific objectives of this work are to investigate the effects of polymer foam structure (such as porosity, pore sizes, and cell characteristics) on a catalyst performance and to observe the influences of catalyst preparation parameters to yield a replica of the original structure of polymeric foam. To accomplish these objectives industrial waste foams, polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foams, were used as a polymeric template. Results indicated that the porosity of the polyurethane and polyvinyl alcohol foams were about 99% and 97%. Their average cell sizes were approximate 200 and 50 micrometres, respectively. The cell characteristics of polymer foams exhibited the character of a high permeability material that can be able to dip with ceramic slurry, which was synthesized with various viscosities, during a catalyst preparation step. Next, morphology of ceramic foams was explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and catalyst properties, such as; temperature profile of catalyst reduction, metal dispersion, and surface area, were also characterized by $H_2-TPR$ and $H_2-TPD$ techniques, and BET, respectively. From the results, it was found that metal-particle dispersion was relatively high about 5.89%, whereas the surface area of ceramic foam catalysts was $64.52m^2/g$. Finally, the catalytic behaviour toward hydrogen production through the dry reforming of methane using a fixed-bed reactor was evaluated under certain operating conditions. The approaches from this research provide a direction for further improvement of marketable environmental friendly catalyst production.

Unicellular green algae of the genus Dunaliella thrive in extreme environmental conditions such as high salinity, low pH, high irradiance and subzero temperatures. Species of Dunaliella are well known in the alga biotechnological industry and are employed widely for the production of valuable biochemicals, such as carotenoids. Some strains of Dunaliella are cultivated commercially in large outdoor ponds and are harvested to produce dry algal meals, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids and oils for the health food industry, and coloring agents for the food and cosmetic industries. During the past decade, the advances in molecular biology and biochemistry of microalgae, along with the advances in biotechnology of microalgal mass cultivation, enabled this microalga to become a staple of commercial exploitation. In particular, the advent of molecular biology and mutagenesis in Dunaliella has permitted enhancements in the carotenoids content of this green alga, making it more attractive for biotechnological applications. Accordingly, the present review summarizes the recent developments and advances in biotechnology of carotenoid production in Dunaliella.

Composition of intramuscular lipids, phospholipid classes and phospholipid molecular species in traditional Chinese duck meat products was investigated. Free fatty acids and phospholipids were identified and quantified by gas and high performance liquid chromatography, and phospholipid molecular species were determined by mass spectrometry. The results showed that raw duck meat had high quantities of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. The percentages of phospholipid classes decreased during three kinds of processing of duck meat products. A selective degradation of phospholipid molecular species with polyunsaturated fatty acids was found in dry-cured duck, but was not found in roasted and water-boiled duck products.

We observed initial rusting process of steel containing Al under wet/dry cyclic condition with NaCl solution film using in situ X-ray diffraction spectroscopy at SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility. It was found that mass fraction of iron oxides such as ${\alpha}-FeOOH$, ${\beta}-FeOOH$ and ${\gamma}-FeOOH$ varied with Al content. Some kinds of Al oxides were also found at the initial stage of corrosion. Those corrosion products might affect the corrosion process and corrosion rate of the steel.

Biosorption process is an economic and potential process for metal sequestering from the water. The oxidized Undaria pinnatifida by nitric acid had high uptake capacity for heavy metals of 4 - 6 meq / g dry mass. For the application of oxidized Undaria pinnatifida, recovery of metal in plating wastewater was studied. The uptake capacity of the oxidized Undaria pinnatifida was high compared to the ion exchanger IR-120 plus. The treatment efficiency of chromium and copper in the wastewater was 85% In batch. Activated carbon was used to assist the recovery of water by removing organic matters of the wastewater.

Cricket (Gyilus bimacutus) is mass-bred in 6 time cycles per one year in insect farms. They are used as dry or live foods for animals, tropical fish, reptile and amphibians. Therefore, it is necessary to study the genotoxicity of whole bodies of G. bimaculatus. The aim of this present study was to evaluate the genotoxicity of the G bimaculatus extract with three methods, Ames test, chromosome aberration test in Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro and micronucleus (MN) test in vivo which involve the different test systems (bacteria, mammalian cells and mice nuclei).
