The Kamkye Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Ag deposits occur as quartz veins that filled fault-related fractures of NW system developed in the Cretaceous Gyeongsang basin. Three major stages of mineral deposition are recognized: (1) the stage I associated with wall rock alteration, such as sericite, chlorite, epidote and pyrite, (2) the early stage II of base-metal mineralization such as pyrite, hematite, and small amounts of sphalerite and chalcopyrite. and the middle to late stage II of Cu-As-Sb-Au-Ag-S mineralization, such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena with tetrahedrite, tennantite, pearceite, Pb-Bi-Cu-S system, argentite and electrum. (3) the stage III of supergene mineralization, such as covellite, chalcocite and malachite. K-Ar dating of alteration sericite is a late Cretaceous ($74.0{\pm}1.6Ma$) and it may be associated with granitic activity of nearby biotite granite and quartz porphyry. Fluid inclusion data suggest a complex history of boiling, cooling and dilution of ore fluids. Stage II mineralization occurred at temperatures between 370 to $220^{\circ}C$ from fluids with salinities of 8.4 to 0.9 wt.% NaCl. Early stage II($320^{\circ}C$, 2.0 wt.% NaCl) may be boiled due to repeated fracturing which opened up the hydrothermal system to the land surface, and which resulted in a base-metal sulfide. Whilst the fractures were opened to the surface, mixing of middle-late stage II ore fluids with meteoric waters resulted in deposition of Cu-As-Sb-Au-Ag minerals from low temperature fluids(${\leq}290^{\circ}C$). Boiling of ore fluids may be occured at a pressure of 112 bar and a depth of 412 m. Equilibrium thermodynamic interpretation of sphalerite-tetraherite assemblages in middle stage II indicates that the ore-forming fluid had log fugacities of $S_2$ of -6.6~-9.4 atm.

Bioleaching is the process in which insoluble metal sulfide is oxidized by specialized iron- and/or sulfur-oxidizing lithotrophic bacteria in acidic, metal-rich environments. Most of these processes are carried out by the genus Thiobacillus. Three novel Thiobacillus strains (Thiobacillus thiooxidans AZ11, Thiobacillus thiooxidans MET, and thiobacillus thiooxidans TAS) associated with bioleaching have been isolated from soil and sludge (Korean patent No. 1999-0073060 for T. thiooxidans AZ11, Korean patent No. 1999-0005798 for T. thiooxidans MET, and Korean patent No. 1999-0073059 for T. thiooxidans TAS). A partial sequence of 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16S rDNA) and the entire sequence of 16S/23S intergenic spacer region (ISR) were determined in the three above novel strains and in Thiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC19859 as a reference strain. When phylogenetic analysis was performed based on G+C contents and sequence alignments, T. ferroxidans ATCC19859 was found to be closely related to previously registered T. ferrooxidans strains in a monophyletic manner, while the three novel T. thiooxidans strains were classified in a paraphyletic manner. Close examination on the base composition of 16S/23S ISR revealed that the 5\` part (nucleotide residues 21-200) was specific for the genus Thiobacillus. On the other end, the 3\` part (nucleotide residues 201-520) showed specificity in T. ferrooxidans strains, but not in T. thiooxidans strains. These results suggest that the proximal and distal halves of 16S/23S could be used as a genetic marker for the identification of the genus Thiobacillus and the species T. ferrooxidans, respectively.

육류 중에 닭은 가장 저렴한 생산비용으로 단백질을 섭취할 수 있는 장점으로 인하여 많은 양이 사육되며 우리나라 식생활의 육류 소비를 늘리는 중요한 가축이다. 생육조건에 악영향을 미치는 여러 요인 중에 축산업에서 가장 대표적인 것은 악취이다. 악취물질은 축분에서 발생되는 암모니아, 아민류, 황화수소 및 머캡탄을 들 수 있으며 악취는 없으나 악영향을 미치는 물질로는 메탄, 질소산화물 등이 있다. 이러한 악취물질에 의하여 가축은 생육에 저해를 받으며, 심한 경우 폐사까지 이르게 된다. 계사의 경우 겨울철에는 난방을 하고 있는 실정임에도 불구하고 나머지 계절과 같이 환기를 통하여 악취를 제어하고 있다. 겨울철의 경우 대부분의 계사가 등유를 사용하는 온풍기를 이용하여 난방을 하고 있으나 계사내의 유해한 암모니아의 농도가 높아지므로 인하여 환기를 시키고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구과제에서는 기존에 사용되고 있는 온풍기에 복합촉매시스템을 접합하여 계사 및 축사의 암모니아 등의 유해 가스를 제어할 수 있는 시스템에 사용될 촉매를 개발하였으며, Mn과 Pt-Rh을 최적의 조성으로 도출하였다.

We evaluated contamination with organic matter and trace metals by analyzing grain size, ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As) in surface sediments at 28 stations around the Geum River estuary in July 2008. The surface sediments in the estuary were mainly composed of coarse sediment (sand and muddy sand), with mean grain size (Mz) ranging between $2-4{\O}$. The high concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals were mainly found at stations in front of the Gusan outer port and industrial complex, and near the Seocheon coast with relatively fine sediments. In addition, the concentrations of IL and all trace metals, except Pb and As, showed good positive correlations with Mz, indicating that the concentrations of organic matter and trace metals were mainly dependent on sediment grain size. The concentrations of COD, AVS, and trace metals in most sediments did not exceed the sediment quality guideline (SQGs). Although the sediments in the study region are not polluted with organic matter and trace metals, there are many point sources of pollutants, such as Gusan port and industrial complex, Janghang refinery, and a thermoelectric power plant around the Geum River estuary. Thus, the management of coastal environments through periodic monitoring of organic matter and trace metals is required in the future.

To evaluate the organic matter and trace metal pollution in intertidal sediment of the coastal zone, various geochemical parameters (grain size, ignition loss [IL], chemical oxygen demand [COD], acid volatile sulfide [AVS], and metals [Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As]) were measured for the intertidal surface sediment of the mainland and islands between Mokpo and Haenam in the southwestern coast of Korea. The surface sediments consist mainly of finer sediments, such as mud and silt. The concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals in intertidal sediment were relatively high in the shoreline of the mainland than in that of islands and those in some stations exceeded the sediment quality guidelines (SQGs). Moreover, the concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals (except As) in sediment showed relatively good positive correlations with mean grain size, indicating that the concentrations of organic matter and trace metals in intertidal sediment of the study region are dependent on grain size of sediment. Pollution evaluation for trace metals using geochemical assessment techniques, such as enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, and SQGs, suggested that the intertidal sediments in the study region show light pollution with Cr and moderate pollution with As. More extensive interdisciplinary studies are required to determine the potential causes of As pollution in intertidal sediment.

산업구조의 변화와 더불어 많은 수의 휴ㆍ폐광산이 생김에 따라 그에 따른 환경오염 문제가 발생되고 있다. 특히 주로 황철광에서 생성된 폐수의 중금속 이온과 낮은 pH는 생태계를 파괴하는 피해를 입힌다. 따라서 산성광산폐수의 처리를 위한 많은 방법들이 연구되고 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산성광산 폐수의 생물학적 처리에서 사용되는 4가지 유기물원들의 중금속 처리 능력을 비교 분석하였다. 버섯퇴비, 참나무 퇴비, 슬러지 cake, 우분의 4가지 유기물원 중 산성 광산 폐수의 처리에 효과가 있는 것은 참나무 퇴비와 우분이었다. 참나무 퇴비는 주로 이온 교환이나 -OH와 -COO-등의 작용기에 의한 흡착에 의해서 중금속을 처리하였으며, 우분을 사용한 경우는 자체 내에 존재하고 있는 황산염환원균의 활성에 의해서 중금속을 처리하였다. 따라서 이 두 가지 유기물원을 혼합하여 사용한다면 상호 보완 작용에 의해 효과적인 처리 효율을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

We measured the grain size, ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and trace metals (Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As) of intertidal surface sediment collected from 11 islands (62 stations) in the southern region of Jeollanam Province. The objective of this research was to evaluate the organic matter and trace metals contaminations of sediments from coastal island tidal flats. Surface sediment texture was characterized as follows: mud, sandy silt, muddy sand, and slightly gravelly sand facies. The finer sediments are mainly dominated in the northern part of each island. The concentrations of IL, COD, AVS and some trace metals (Al, Fe, Zn, Cr, Cu, and Hg) were higher in the northwestern part of Wan Island and the area between Gogeum and Sinji Islands, and were associated with relatively finer sediment, as compared to other locations. The concentrations of Mn, Pb, Cd, and As were higher in the northwestern and southeastern parts of Geoguem and Pyungil Islands, but were not correlated with mean grain size. Based on sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), the concentrations of trace metals were lower than the values of effect range low (ERL), used in United States, and threshold effects level (TEL), used in Korea, with exception of As. Similarly, the intertidal sediments were moderately contaminated with As, based on the the enrichment factor (EF) and the geoaccumulation index ($I_{geo}$). The high concentration of As in intertidal sediments from this study region may be due to the input of naturally or artificially contaminated submarine groundwater, contaminated waste from seaweed aquaculture operations and/or land-based seaweed processing facilities. Further studies are needed to identify the sources of As in this study region, and to determine the effects of As contamination on coastal ecosystem.

In this study, we investigated the effect of a sulfur passivation (S-passivation) process step on the electrical properties of surface-channel In_0.7Ga_0.3As quantum-well (QW) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with S/D regrowth contacts. We fabricated long-channel In_0.7Ga_0.3As QW MOSFETs with and without (NH₄)₂S treatment and then deposited 1/4 nm of Al₂O₃/HfO₂ through atomic layer deposition. The devices with S-passivation exhibited lower values of subthreshold swing (74 mV/decade) and drain-induced barrier lowering (19 mV/V) than the devices without S-passivation. A conductance method was applied, and a low value of interface trap density D_it (2.83×10¹² cm^-2eV^-1) was obtained for the devices with S-passivation. Based on these results, interface traps between InGaAs and high-κ are other defect sources that need to be considered in future studies to improve III-V microsensor sensing platforms.

$Ag_2Se$ 전극을 제조하고 은이온에 대한 지시전극으로서의 성질을 조사하였다. Epoxy 수지를 Ag_2Se 전극의 binder로서, Silver paste를 감응막과 은판의 접착제로서 사용하였다. 감응막은 10ton/$cm^2$로 가압성형 한다음 질소분위기에서 200${\sim}$$500^{\circ}C$로 sintering한 후 전극을 제조한 결과sintering 하지않은 전극보다 감응성이 우수하고 견고하였다. 또한 $Ag_2Se$전극보다 감응성이 우수하였다. 은이온농도의 변화에 따르는 감응도는 10-6M까지 직선관계를 유지하였다. 대부분의 중금속 이온은 방해하지 않으나 수은(II) 이온이 크게 방해를 하였으며 음이온인 halide, cyanide, thiocyanate 이온의 방해는 더욱 심하였다. 반면 이전극은 halide 이온 정량시 전위차적정법으로 사용할 수 있음을 알았다.
