The metals present in atmospheric particulate come from various sources; natural or anthropogenic. Among various metals Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, and Mn are of particular concern in as much as they are not only present in large quantity, but toxic to human body. A simple, fast, and non-destructive analytical method for these metals in atmospheric particulate was developed and the analytical details were described herein. The method involves the measurements of X-ray fluorescence of sample contained in filters and comparing it with those for standards. The standard filters were prepared by applicating premeasured standard solution to the filters and then drying. The accuracy of the method was tested by analyzing standard reference materials and by independently analyzing samples using a different, previously accuracy-proven method, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, and comparing the results obtained. Analytical sensitivities and detection limits of the present method were 62.9, 178.2, 82.9, 146.1, 37.2, 120.3 cps/$\mug/cm^2$ and 39.0 35.6, 137.5, 125.9, 182.6, 72.8 $ng/cm^2$ for Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, Mn, and Ni respectively. The method was applied to Seoul atmospheric particulate and some results were reported.

Tannery wastewater is known to contain high concentrations of organic compounds, pathogens, and other toxic inorganic elements such as heavy metals, nitrogen, sulfur, etc. Biological methods such as aerobic and anaerobic processes are unsuitable for tannery wastewater treatment due to its high salinity, and electrochemical oxidation offers a promising method to solve this problem. In this study, raw tannery wastewater treatment using DSA® Ti/RuO₂, Ti/IrO₂ and Ti/BDD electrodes with continuous flow systems was examined. Effects of current densities and electrolysis times were investigated, to evaluate the process performance and energy consumption. The results showed that a Ti/BDD electrode is able to reach higher treatment efficiency than Ti/IrO₂, and Ti/RuO₂ electrodes across all parameters, excluding Total Nitrogen. The main mechanism of tannery wastewater oxidation at a Ti/BDD electrode is based on direct oxidation on the electrode surface combined with the generation of oxidants such as °OH and Cl₂, while at DSA® Ti/RuO₂ and Ti/IrO₂ electrodes, the oxidation mechanisms are based on the generation of chlorine. After treatment, the effluents can be discharged to the environment after 6-12 h of electrolysis. Electrooxidation thus offers a promising method for removing the nutrients and non-biodegradable organic compounds in tannery wastewater.

Chitosan is a biodegradable and non-toxic material with a molecular weight of 800-1,500Kd which can be obtained in various forms with extraordinary chemical structures and biological characteristics of which enables it to be used in many fields as a biomaterial. Ion irradiation is a useful tool to modify chemical structures and physical properties of high molecular weight polymers. The basic hypothesis of this study is that when surface properties of chitosan in a sponge form are modified with ion beam-irradiation and cell adhesion properties of chitosan would improve and thereby increase the regenerative ability of the damaged bone. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the changes in the cytocompatibility of chitosan sponges after ion beam-irradiation as a preliminary research. Argon($Ar^+$) ions were irradiated at doses of $5{\times}10^{13}$, $5{\times}10^{15}$ at 35 keV on surfaces of each sponges. Cell adhesion and activity of alkaline phosphatases were studied using rat fetal osteoblasts. The results of this study show hat ion beam-irradiation at optimal doses($5{\times}10^^{13}\;Ar^+\;ion/cm^2$) is a useful method to improve cytocompatibility without sacrificing cell viability and any changing cell phenotypes. These results show that ion beam-irradiated chitosan sponges can be further applied as carriers in tissue engineering and as bone filling materials.

$Zn_{(1-x)}Ni_xAl_2O_4$ (x = 0.0-1.0) spinels were prepared at $800^{\circ}C$ by co-precipitation method and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The specific surface area was determined by BET. SEM image showed nano sized spherical particles. XPS confirmed the valence states of the metals, showing moderate Lewis character for the surface of materials. The powders were successfully used as new heterogeneous catalysts of Biginelli's reaction, a one-pot three-component reaction, leading to some dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs). These new catalysts that produced good yields of DHPMs, were easily recovered by simple filtration and subsequently reused with persistent activity, and they are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The optimum amount of catalyst is 20% by weight of benzaldehyde derivatives, while the doping amount has been found optimal for x = 0.1.

In general, metallic bio-materials is more widely used in solid tissue like bone or tooth than flexible tissue such as skin or muscle. Especially, Cobalt Chrome Molybdenum(Co-Cr-Mo), which is used in tooth surgery, has a great corrosion resistance. Because this bio-material is non-toxic in human body, and has a bio-compatibility that the vital reaction is not occurred with tissue in body. However the chemical reaction is occurred by fatal matter that deteriorate the property of material surface in conventional polishing, and it can affect to fatal disease in human body or decrease the material properties such as hardness, yield strength or bio-compatibility. This surface in poor condition can cause development of corrosion or bacteria. In this study, MR fluid polishing is used to minimize the scratch, pit or surface flaws generated in conventional polishing. Surface roughness is measured according to the polishing condition to obtain fine surface condition.

국내 하천에는 하천을 가로지르는 보나 낙차공과 같은 횡단구조물이 약 5만여개에 달하고 있다. 이러한 보/낙차공과 같은 하천횡단구조물에는 구조물을 월류하여 떨어지는 부분의 세굴을 막기 위하여 apron(물받이공)을 조성하도록 되어있고, 물받이공 하류부 세굴을 막기 위하여 사석을 깔거나, 돌망태를 설치하여 이 부분에서의 세굴을 막아 하상을 보호하도록 하고 있다. 그러나 사석이나 돌망태공, 블록을 이용한 보호공은 한 번 설치되면 이들 공법이 제자리에 남아 있는 한 세굴 방지에 좋은 효과를 발휘한다는 장점이 있지만 포설된 공법은 시간이 지남에 따라 혹은 홍수로 인해 이동되거나 소실되는 문제가 발생되며, 최종적으로 하천횡단구조물의 안전성에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 이와 더불어 강우량의 증대 및 집중호우 등 돌변하는 기후변화로 하천환경변화에 대한 적용 가능한 기술이 미비하다. 따라서 하천에 유해한 물질을 방출시키지 않고 하천환경 및 하천 생물의 생활사에 영향을 주지 않는 무 저독성 소재를 활용하여 치수적으로 수리적 안정성을 강화시키고, 생태적으로도 건강한 생태하천 복원 기술개발이 요구되는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 무독성 소재를 활용하여 보 하류부에 자연친화적인 하상보호공으로 다층다공성 하상보호기술을 개발하였으며, 개발된 하상보호기술을 CFD 3차원 수치해석과 실내실험을 통하여 수리적 안전성을 검토하였다. 또한 개발된 기술은 김해시 대청천 하류 일부구간에 시범적으로 적용하였고, 시범사업 시공 전 중 후 각 단계에서 물리, 화학, 생물 모니터링을 통하여 개발기술의 현장 적용성을 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 CyanoHABs를 제어하기 위해 주요 우점종인 Microcystis aeruginosa에 대한 항균 펩타이드의 살조 활성을 조사하고, 구조적 특이성을 바탕으로 새로운 M. aeruginosa 제어 펩타이드를 제작하였다. 본 실험에서 CA-MA 유래 펩타이드 CMA1, CMA2와 Helicobacter pylori 유래 펩타이드 HPA3P, HPA3NT3는 처리 48시간 후 각각 67.3, 73.1, 76.7, 69.8%의 최대 살조 효율을 보였다. 또한, 신규 펩타이드 K160242~5는 처리 48시간 후 각각 64.0, 64.1, 66.4, 70.1%의 최대 살조 효율을 보였다. CA-MA 유래 펩타이드는 처리 24시간 이후 세포의 재성장이 관찰되었으므로 세포 표면과의 정전기 인력을 통해 세포를 응집하고 간접적으로 제어하는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면에, 양친매성 펩타이드는 세포의 재성장이 관찰되지 않았으므로 세포 응집과 더불어 세포 내 침투를 통해 직 간접적으로 세포를 제어하는 것으로 추정되었다. 또한, 펩타이드의 살조 기작 및 효율에는 구성 아미노산의 종류, 수, 구조 및 펩타이드의 분자량, 처리 농도 등이 복합적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 펩타이드를 이용한 CyanoHABs의 제어 가능성을 제고하기 위해서는 정확한 기작과 관련 인자들의 확인 및 증명이 요구된다.

Cellulose fibers is one of the most abundant in nature. It has many distinctive features: abundant in nature, biodegradable, non-toxic, eco-friendly, sustainable, easy to fabricate, hydrophilic, and cost-effective. Cellulose fibers, known as pulp, is produced from cellulose-containing materials by the pulping process. As the raw material, wood has been most commonly used while recycled pulp has been also used to some degree. Thus, pulp usually refers to wood pulp. Generally, the pulp and paper industry is regarded as the commodity market where the cost should be much more important than the quality. It also belongs to a mature market where the growth is slow, or even in decline. Accordingly, technological development has been rather stagnant for the industry. Recently, however, the pulp and paper industry has faced very serious challenges. First, due to digital technology, there has been a steady decline in the need for pulp and paper products. The digital industry has continuously replaced printed products such as books, newspapers, and magazines. Second, there has been a trend initiated by developed countries to limit the use of wood as the raw material for the sake of environmental protection. This forces the industry to find a more efficient use of wood pulp as well as finding alternative, non-wood sources. Third, as an individual becomes wealthier and more conscious of health-care, the quality of a product becomes more important than the cost. Thus, a paradigm shift is needed from the cost-conscientious to the quality conscientious. The objective of this article is to review the technologies aimed at engineering cellulose fibers for producing high-value added paper products.
