Hydroxyl radicals were detected and their qualitative yields were estimated by using chemiluminescence method and $\gamma$-irradiation technique in oxygen or chlorine dioxide radicals bleaching conditions. The correlation of hydroxyl radical formation and lignin model(Apocynol) or carbohydrate model($\alpha$-D-glucopyranose and methyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside) degradation was studied in the presence of metal ion or without metal ion. The results showed that the presence of metal ions efficiently affected the formation of hydroxyl radicals in oxygen bleaching process, in the order of $Cu^{2+}$ > $Mn^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $Fe^{2+}$, and these metal gave also rise to the degradation of carbohydrate. But it was found that the addition of $100{\mu}m\;Mg^{2+}$ gave an efficient protection against carbohydrate degradation and suppressed the hydroxyl radical formation under oxygen bleaching conditions. And the presence of $Cu^{2+}$ had a detrimental effect on the stability of carbohydrates, whereas the addition of $3{\mu}m\;Mn^{2+}$ surprisingly had a small protective effect on methyl--$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside. In the $ClO_2$ radical bleaching conditions the hydroxyl radical expected to generate from water or substrates was not detected in the presence of metals.

The size-segregated atmospheric aerosols have been collected at 1100 m site of Mt. Halla in Jeju, a background area in Korea, using 8-stage cascade impact air sampler during Asian dust and non-Asian dust storm periods. Their ionic and elemental species were analyzed, in order to examine the pollution characteristics and composition change between Asian dust and non-Asian dust periods. The major ionic species such as nss-$SO_4{^{2-}}$, $NH_4{^+}$, and $K^+$ were predominantly distributed in the fine particles (below $2.1{\mu}m$ diameter), and besides the $NO_3{^-}$ was distributed more in coarse particle fraction than fine particle. On the other hand, the typical soil and marine species i.e., nss-$Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, and $Mg^{2+}$, were mostly existed in the coarse particles (over $2.1{\mu}m$ diameter). As well in the elemental analysis of aerosols, the major soil-originated Al, Fe, Ca, and others showed prominently high concentrations in the coarse particle fraction, whereas the anthropogenic S and Pb were relatively high in the fine particle fraction. From the comparison of aerosol compositions between Asian dust and non-Asian dust periods, the concentrations of the soil-originated species such as nss-$Ca^{2+}$, Al, Ca, Fe, Ti, Mn, Ba, Sr have increased as 2.7-4.2 times during the Asian dust periods. Meanwhile the concentrations of nss-$SO_4{^{2-}}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ have increased as 1.4 and 2.0 times, and on the contrary $NH_4{^+}$ concentrations have a little bit decreased during the Asian dust periods. Especially the concentrations of both soil-originated ionic and elemental species increased noticeably in the coarse particle mode during the dust storm periods.

S. chibaensis J-59 produced an extracellular xylanase in a CSL medium composed of 1.5% com steep liquor, 0.1% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.012% $CoCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, and 0.15% glucose containing xylan. but it did not produce in the culture medium containing xylose. The production of enzyme reached to a maximum level (0.83 uints/ml) when bacteria were cultured in 2.5 l jar fermentor for 48hrs at $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0. Furthermore, S. chibaensis J-59 produced an intracellular glucose isomerase in a medium containing xylan and/or xylose. Xylanase was purified 29-fold over the culture supernatants of S. chibaensis J-59 by ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The purified enzyme is a monomeric enzyme with a native molecular mass of 25 kDa and a subunit molecular mass of 25 kDa. The purified enzyme requires $Mg^{2+}$ for activity, $Ca^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ is not an inhibitor but inhibit by $Fe^{3+}$, $Hg^{2+}$, and $Cu^{2+}$, sodium dodecyl sulfate, N-bromosuccinide. Pattern of hydrolysis demonstrated that the xylanase was an endo-splitting enzyme able to break down birchwood xylan at random giving xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetrose as the main end products.

In order to investigate the fate of nitrogen in the paddy soil, Suchang, Hwasoon and Susan soil which have different properties, were treated with several nitrogen fertilizers such as ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, urea and SCU (sulfur-coated urea), and incubated under water-logged condition in $30^{\circ}C$ incubator. $NH_4-N$, $NO_3-N$, $Fe^{++}$ and pH in soil and stagnant water, were determined at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 days after incubation. The obtained results were summarized as follows: 1. The effect of rising temperature was increased in order of Hwasoon>Suchang>Susan and the effect of air drying soil was risen in order of Susan>Hwasoon>Suchang, while the rate of ammonication was in order of Susan>Suchang>Hwasoon. 2. The changes of $NH_4-N$ in stagnant water was dependent upon the nitrogen concentration of $NH_4Cl$ and $(NH_4)SO_4$ plat was high and decreased after 30 days incubation, but increased after 40 days and then decreased again. In contrast with the above, $NH_4-N$ concentration of urea and SCU plot was low but the change showed slightly through the incubation period. 3. Accumulation of $NH_4-N$ in the oxidative layer of the $NH_4Cl$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ plot was higher than that of urea and SCU plot and $NH_4-N$ content was decreased with the incubation period. The change of $NH_4-N$ in the reductive layer showed the same pattern. 4. The changes of $NO_3-N$ in the stagnant water were different according to soil properties and nitrogen fertilizer. $NO_3-N$ concentration in stagnant water of urea and SCU plot was higher than in the $NH_4-Cl$ $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ plot and nearly disappeared after 30 to 40 days incubation. 5. The $NO_3-N$ concentration in the oxidative layer of soil was higher than reductive layer. The pattern of change was different in accordance with soil properties and nitrogen fertilizers. In general, nitrification in urea and SCU plot was more increased than $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ plot. In reductive layer, the concentration of $NO_3-N$ was very low until 30 days incubation and thereafter increased slightly. 6. Upon the concentration of $NH_4-N$ and $NO_3-N$ in stagnant water and soil, it was assumed that denitification of urea and SCU plot was higher than $NH_4Cl$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ plot and denitrified nitrogen in incubation period was above 50%.

As a part of basic investigation for utilizing cultured eel and by-products as a food source, a mineral contents and fatty acid composition of bone and flesh were investigated. Flesh of cultured eel was higher in moisture and crude protein content, and lower in crude ash and lipid content than those of the bone. Mineral of bone were measured 220.72 mg/100 g of Ca, 169.87 mg/100 g of P, 117.05 mg/100 g of Na,92.75 mg/100g of K, 6.18 mg/100g of Cu,5.02 mg/100 g of Zn,2.56 mg/100 g of Fe, and flesh were measured 120.23 mg/100g of CL 150.36 mg/100 g of P, 136.36 mg/100 g of Na, 89.36 mg/100 g of K, 4.02 mg/100 g of Cu, 1.71 mg/100 g of Zn,2.03 mg/100 g of Fe. The major fatty acid in bone and flesh of cultured eel were generally oleic acid $(44.40\%, 43.76\%)$, palmitic acid $(24.19\%,\;21.30\%)$, palmitoleic acid $(8.18\%,\;7.72\%)$, eicosapentaenoic acid $(5.72\%,\;6.65\%)$, myristic acid $(3.96\%,4.34\%)$ in order. The fstty acid composition of total lipid was no significant difference among bone and flesh of cultured eel, However, bone of cultured eel revealed higher content in saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid, while lower in polyunsaturated fatty acid than those of the flesh. It is shown that cultured eel contains various nutrients such as protein, minerals, unsaturated fatty acid, so cultured eel can be regarded as a highly nutritious food.

This research has been performed to clarify the relationship between hydrogeochemistry and bacterial community structure in groundwater contaminated with landfill leachate. We collected and analyzed samples from 5 sites such as leachate (KSG1-12), treated leachate (KSG1-16), two contaminated groundwaters (KSG1-07 and KSG1-08) and non-contaminated groundwater (KSG1-13). pH was 8.83, 8.04, 6.87, 6.87 and 6.53 in order; redox potential (Eh) 108, 202, 47, 200 and 154 mV; electric conductivity (EC) 3710, 894, 1223, 559 and 169.9 $\mu$S/cm; suspended solids (SS) 86.45, 13.74, 4.18, 0.24 and 11.91 mg/L. In KSG01-12, the ion concentrations were higher especially in $Cl^-$ and $HCO_3^-$ than other sites. The concentrations of Fe, Mn and $SO_4^{2-}$ were higher In KSG1-07 than in KSG1-08, and vise versa in $NO_3^{2-}$. In the comparison of DGGE fingerprint patterns, the similarity was highest between KSG1-13 and KSG1-16 (57.2%), probably due to common properties like low or none contaminant concentrations. Otherwise KSG1-08 showed lowest similarities with KSG1-13 (25.8%) and KSG1-12 (27.6%), maybe because of the degree of contamination. The most dominant bacterial species in each site were involved in $\alpha$-Proteobacteria (55.6%) in KSG1-12, $\gamma$-Proteobacteria (50.0%) in KSG1-16, $\beta$-Proteobacteria (66.7%) in KSG1-07, $\gamma$-Proteobacteria (54.5%) in KSG1-08 and $\beta$-Proteobacteria (36.4%) in KSG1-13. These results indicate that the microbial community structure might be changed according to the flow of leachate in grounderwater, implying changes in concentrations of pollutants, available electron accepters and/or other environmental conditions.

Lead-zinc-copper deposits of the Jeonheung and the Oksan mines around Euiseong area occur as hydrothermal quartz and calcite veins that crosscut Cretaceous sedimentary rocks of the Gyeongsang Basin. The mineralization occurred in three distinct stages (I, II, and III): (I) quartz-sulfides-sulfosalts-hematite mineralization stage; (II) barren quartz-fluorite stage; and (III) barren calcite stage. Stage I ore minerals comprise pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and Pb-Ag-Bi-Sb sulfosalts. Mineralogies of the two mines are different, and arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, tetrahedrite and iron-rich (up to 21 mole % FeS) sphalerite are restricted to the Oksan mine. A K-Ar radiometric dating for sericite indicates that the Pb-Zn-Cu deposits of the Euiseong area were formed during late Cretaceous age ($62.3{\pm}2.8Ma$), likely associated with a subvolcanic activity related to the volcanic complex in the nearby Geumseongsan Caldera and the ubiquitous felsite dykes. Stage I mineralization occurred at temperatures between > $380^{\circ}C$ and $240^{\circ}C$ from fluids with salinities between 6.3 and 0.7 equiv. wt. % NaCl. The chalcopyrite deposition occurred mostly at higher temperatures of > $300^{\circ}C$. Fluid inclusion data indicate that the Pb-Zn-Cu ore mineralization resulted from a complex history of boiling, cooling and dilution of ore fluids. The mineralization at Jeonheung resulted mainly from cooling and dilution by an influx of cooler meteoric waters, whereas the mineralization at Oksan was largely due to fluid boiling. Evidence of fluid boiling suggests that pressures decreased from about 210 bars to 80 bars. This corresponds to a depth of about 900 m in a hydrothermal system that changed from lithostatic (closed) toward hydrostatic (open) conditions. Sulfur isotope compositions of sulfide minerals (${\delta}^{34}S=2.9{\sim}9.6$ per mil) indicate that the ${\delta}^{34}S_{{\Sigma}S}$ value of ore fluids was ${\approx}8.6$ per mil. This ${\delta}^{34}S_{{\Sigma}S}$ value is likely consistent with an igneous sulfur mixed with sulfates (?) in surrounding sedimentary rocks. Measured and calculated hydrogen and oxygen isotope values of ore-forming fluids suggest meteoric water dominance, approaching unexchanged meteoric water values. Equilibrium thermodynamic interpretation indicates that the temperature versus $fs_2$ variation of stage I ore fluids differed between the two mines as follows: the $fs_2$ of ore fluids at Jeonheung changed with decreasing temperature constantly near the pyrite-hematite-magnetite sulfidation curve, whereas those at Oksan changed from the pyrite-pyrrhotite sulfidation state towards the pyrite-hematite-magnetite state. The shift in minerals precipitated during stage I also reflects a concomitant $fo_2$ increase, probably due to mixing of ore fluids with cooler, more oxidizing meteoric waters. Thermodynamic consideration of copper solubility suggests that the ore-forming fluids cooled through boiling at Oksan and mixing with less-evolved meteoric waters at Jeonheung, and that this cooling was the main cause of copper deposition through destabilization of copper chloride complexes.

최근 Zn-Mg 합금 박막은 고내식성의 합금상 형성, 치밀한 부식생성물의 부식억제 등으로 인해 순수한 Zn 박막 및 기타 Zn 계 합금 박막 대비 우수한 내식성을 나타난다고 보고되고 있다. 그러나 여러 문헌에서 보고된 Zn-Mg 박막 각기 다른 결정구조, 미세조직을 나타내며, 이는 Zn-Mg 박막이 낮은 융점을 나타내기 때문에 박막 합성 공정 중에 발생하는 열량에 따라 Zn-Mg 박막의 결정구조, 미세조직 등이 변화한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 Zn-Mg 박막의 결정구조에 따른 내식특성을 평가하기 위하여 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정 중 합성온도를 제어하며 Zn-Mg 박막을 합성하였으며 그에 따른 박막의 결정구조, 내식성에 관해 연구하였다. Zn-Mg 박막은 10wt.% Mg 합금 타겟을 사용하였으며, 합성 온도는 상온에서 최고 $150^{\circ}C$로 제어하였다. Zn-Mg 박막의 결정구조, 미세조직은 X선 회절 분석기 (XRD)와 전계방출형 주사전자현미경 (FE-SEM)을 사용하여 분석하였으며, 동전위 분극시험을 통해 결정구조에 따른 Zn-Mg 박막의 내식성을 분석하였다. 상온에서 합성한 Zn-Mg 박막은 비정질의 결정구조가 형성되었으며, 상온이상 $50^{\circ}C$이하에서는 결정질의 Zn 상과 비정질상이 공존하는 Zn-Mg 박막이 합성되었다. 또한 $100^{\circ}C$이상에서는 Zn, $Mg_2Zn_{11}$, $MgZn_2$ 상이 공존하는 결정질의 Zn-Mg 박막이 합성되었다. 상온에서 합성된 Zn-Mg 박막의 경우 급냉이 이루어지는 스퍼터링 공정의 특성상 비정질의 결정구조가 형성되었으나, Zn는 융점이 낮아 상온부근에서도 재결정이 이루어지기 때문에 $50^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서 합성하여도 결정질의 Zn 상이 형성되었다. $Mg_2Zn_{11}$, $MgZn_2$ 과 같은 Zn와 Mg의 합금상의 경우 형성과정에서 일정 수준의 열이 요구되기 때문에 낮은 온도에서는 형성이 억제되고 일정 이상의 온도에서 형성되었다. FE-SEM 분석 결과를 통하여 $50^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서 합성한 Zn-Mg 박막은 치밀한 미세구조를 나타내었으며, $100^{\circ}C$이상에서 합성한 Zn-Mg 박막의 미세구조는 밀도가 비교적 낮은 구조임을 확인하였다. 3.5% NaCl 수용액에서의 동전위 분극시험 결과 낮은 온도에서 합성한 Zn-Mg 박막이 고온에서 합성한 Zn-Mg 박막 대비 치밀한 구조가 형성되었기 때문에 우수한 내식성을 나타내었다.

Three PEA (Pulverised Fuel Ash) samples, which were fresh, 17 and some 40 years weathered, were collected from two major British power plants. Batch leaching tests with these samples using distilled water and simulated industrial leachate showed higher amounts of element liberation from fresh ash, including Ca, Na, K, S (as $SO^{2-}_4$, $Cr_{total}$, Cu, Li Ni, Mo and CI and this seems to indicate their surface association and easier dissolution when contact with water. On the contrary Mg, Al, Ba, Si, V, As and Se do not show such readily leachable concentrations and these elements might be more associated with glass fraction in PFA particle rather than surface. Although element concentrations in the weathered ash are much lower than those in the initial leachate from the fresh ash, elements are still detected as resonable concentrations, with rather constant levels and this seems to demonstrate the element release from unstable glass phase of PFA particle. Fe, Ca, $Cr_{total}$, Cu, Ni, Zn and Hg were removed from the synthetic leachate by PFA and this is also confirmed by gain in solid PFA. The order of element retention is Meaford weathered ash > Drax weathered ash > Drax fresh ash in decreasing order and this conforms with the degree of weathering. Namely, the more wethered, the more wethered, the more effective in metal retention from the synthetic leachate.
