Chitosan is a dietary fiber because of a linear polysaccharide composed of $\beta-(1{\rightarrow}4)$-linked 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose. In this study, control release system of vitamin C has been estimated in chitosan molecular network as a vitamin C carrier of controlled release. The amount of released vitamin C were decreased in higher amount of chitosan concentration. Especially, vitamin C were slowly released from chitosan solution in dialysis membrane when compared with vitamin C solution alone in dialysis membrane. These result assumed that chitosan driving force is dependent on chitosan molecular weight and cationic property of amino group with anionic property of vitamin C.

In this research, effects of water circulation on phosphorus release from sediment into water body were studied. Sediments sampled at the Daechung Lake were used for the column experiments with circulation and non-circulation conditions. Deaeration coefficient, $K_1$ and reaeration coefficient, $K_2$ of non-circulation condition were 0.133 and 0, respectively, while $K_1$ and $K_2$ for circulation condition were 0.46 and 0.018, respectively. Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) showed a linear relationship with dissolved oxygen (DO) when DO is over 2 mg/L. Phosphorus concentration induced by phosphorus release from sediment was highly dependent upon DO, ORP, and pH. Under anaerobic condition, phosphorus release rate was higher for $Fe^{2+}$-bounded phosphorus compared to that of $Ca^{2+}$-bounded phosphorus.

A batch and a continuous type experiments were conducted to test the conditions for simultaneous phosphorus release and uptake, and denitrification, taking place in one process. The bacteria able to denitrify as well as to remove phosphorus were evaluated for the application to biological nutrient removal(BNR) process. In the batch-type experiment, simultaneous reactions of phosphorus release and uptake, and also denitrification were observed under anoxic condition with high organic and nitrate loading. However the rate and the degree of P release were lower than that occurred under anaerobic condition. BNR processes composed of anaerobic-anoxic-oxic(AXO), anoxic-anaerobic-oxic(XAO) and anoxic-oxic(XO) were operated in continuous condition. The anoxic reactors in each process received nitrate loading. In the AXO process, P release in anaerobic reactor and the luxury uptake in oxic reactor proceeded actively regardless to nitrate loading. However in XAO and XO processes, P release and luxury uptake occurred only with the nitrate loading less than $0.07\;kg{NO_3}^--N$/kgMLSS-d. With higher nitrate load, P release increased and the luxury uptake decreased. Therefore, it appeared that the application of denitrifying phosphorus-removing bacteria (DPB) to BNR process must first resolve the problem with decrease of luxury uptake of phosphorus in oxic reactor.

Peroxide is used frequently to provide electron acceptors to aerobes for the purpose of in situ bioremediation of contaminated soil/sediment. In this study, oxygen release rate of peroxides and factors affecting on dissolution and diffusion of oxygen into pore water were evaluated. Peroxides studied in this study were magnesium peroxide ($MgO_2$), calcium peroxide ($CaO_2$), and sodium percarbonate ($Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$). $Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$ showed the highest oxygen release rate per unit mass and the shortest release duration time among three peroxides. A simple first-order decay model for predicting the release rate of oxygen from peroxide into pore water was presented and used to fit the experimental data. The first order oxygen release rate constants k for $MgO_2$, $CaO_2$ and $Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$ were 0.45 /hr, 3.22 /hr and 134 /hr, respectively. If $MgO_2$ was mixed with clay, oxygen release rate was lowered significantly mainly due to limitation of contact area and diffusion, implying that oxygen can be provided to the indigenous aerobes for the extended period of time.

This study was performed to estimate interrelation between characteristics of sediment and nutrient releare from sediment in Dae-cheong lake. For the investigations, sediments were sampled in June and October 1997 at fish farms, embayment, and the main stream of Dae-cheong lake. Items for investigation are as follows; water content, weight loss on ignition(IG), porosity of sediment, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen(TKN), content of element(H, N, C), nutrient release rate. Water content and porosity were measured to conjecture the physical trait and grain size. And weight loss on ignition was measured to determine the contents of organic substance. For the determination of nutrient release rate, $PO_4-P$ and $NH_4-N$ concentration of interstitial water and overlying water were measured. Release rate of nutrients which has direct influenced upon the water quality were 0.05-8.63mg-$P/m^2{\cdot}day$ and 4.99-36.56mg-$N/m^2{\cdot}day$. And it was found that release rate was measured higher in the 1st sampling than in the 2nd sampling. And for determination of the humus level of sediment, carbon and nitrogen content were measured by using elemental analyzer. Generally, C/N ratio is used to determine humus level of lake sediment. As a result of elemental analysis, C/N ratio was determined in the range of 7.64~11.55, so humus level of Dae-cheong lake sediment was estimated from mesohumic state to oligohumic state.

The main purposes of the agricultural reservoir enlargement (ARE) project are to secure water supply reliability (WSR) for agriculture and to release environmental water during dry seasons. In this study, an operational rule that will simultaneously satisfy both the above issues was developed. Initial amount of water storage at the beginning of non-irrigation season (1st October) was divided into 3 stages, and the target level of water storage at the beginning of irrigation seasons (1st April) was set up. Required operational curves and release amounts were estimated based on the stages and target water levels. To evaluate the applicability of this rule, the amount of water released for environmental purposes and WSRs were analyzed for three reservoirs (Unam, Jangchi and Topjeong). The ratio between annual amount of release and additional amount of water storage were 1.6, 1.85, and 4.1 for the Unam, Jangchi, Tapjeong reservoirs, respectively. Also, the WSRs of all reservoirs were found to become higher than when the design standard was applied. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed rule is more suitable for the enlarged agricultural reservoirs operation as it satisfies the WSRs while securing the environmental water release.

The effects of environmental factors on the extracellular release of organic carbon by Scenedesmus qudricauda were studied. The PER (percentage extracellular release) was greater at high temperature and at high concentration of nitrogen and phosphate. The PER variation according to the change of M/P ratio showed high values at each extreme N/P ratio. This result suggested that the limitation of nitrogen or phosphorous resulted in the accumulation of carbohydrates as photosynthetic products, and the products in high concentration were excreted through algal cell membrane.

본 연구는 주암호 홍수조절용지내에 서식하는 침수식물체들의 영양염류 용출이 주암호 수질에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 침수상태의 수질, 토양 및 식물체를 자연상태 그대로 column으로 옮겨와 침수기간별 영양염류의 제거속도 및 용출속도를 조사하였고, 이들 결과를 토대로 각 홍수조절용지에서 침수식물체별 영양염류 용출량을 산출하였다. COD 제거속도 상수(K, $day^{-1}$)는 이삭사초의 경우 침수 0~4 day, 5~19 day 및 20~33 day 구간에서 0.07~0.18, -0.23~-0.17 및 -0.28~0.03 $day^{-1}$이었고, 물억새의 경우 침수 0~6 day, 7~19 day 및 20~33 day 구간에서 0.14~0.22, -0.19~-0.04 및 -0.05 $day^{-1}$이었다. T-N 제거속도 상수(K, $day^{-1}$)는 이삭사초의 경우 침수 0~4(8) day 및 5(9)~33 day 구간에서 0.02 및 -0.13~-0.10 $day^{-1}$이었고, 물억새의 경우 침수 0~2(4) day, 3(5)~19 day 및 20~33 day 구간에서 0.01~0.04, -0.03 및 -0.18~-0.17 $day^{-1}$이었다. T-P 제거속도 상수(K, $day^{-1}$)는 이삭사초의 경우 침수 0~4 day 및 5~33 day 구간에서 0.05~0.06 및 -0.14~-0.09 $day^{-1}$이었고, 물억새의 경우 침수 0~4 day 및 5~33 day 구간에서 0.05~0.06 및 -0.15~-0.12 $day^{-1}$이었다. 이상의 결과에서 침수초기에는 침수식물체가 생육하면서 영양염류를 분해 이용하여 수질을 정화하였으나, 침수식물체에 따라 다소 차이가 있었지만 침수 4~10일후부터 침수식물체가 미생물에 의해 서서히 분해되면서 영양염류가 수질내로 용출되는 경향이었다. 홍수조절용지에서 침수식물체별 영양염류용출량은 이삭사초가 물억새에 비해 약간 많았다. 특히 site 1에서 COD, T-N 및 T-P 용출량은 이삭사초의 경우 각각 6,719, 2,397 및 466 kg/month/area이었고, 물억새의 경우 각각 53.1, 14.8 및 3.30 kg/month/area이었다.

The aim of this paper is to correlate the release characteristics of marine and lake sediment with their vicinal oxic conditions. We performed lab-scale simulation experiments using field sediment and water in order to compare the release concentrations and the release rates one another. To provide a few different kinds of oxic environments we used natural air flow and some oxygen releasing compounds such as $CaO_2$ and $MgO_2$. In case of phosphates, in each oxic condition, removal of phosphorus via biological activity and that via salt precipitation with the metal ions lowered the release rates. The behavior of the nitrogen-origin salts seemed to greatly depend on the typical biological actions - growth of biomass, nitrification, and partial denitrification. Generally speaking, the control of releases of $NH_3$-N, $PO_4$-P, T-N and T-P was successful under the oxic conditions meanwhile COD, nitrates and nitrites were difficult to reduce the releases into the bulk water because of the considerable microbial oxidation. Based on typical diffusive mass transfer kinetics the changes of concentrations of the nutrients were computed for qualitative and quantitative comparisons.
