Polycarbonate(PC) membranes for oxygen enrichment from air were prepared by the wet phase inversion method. In order to improve oxygen separation performances of the PC membrane, the effect of the added ethanol(nonsolvent) and $CuCl_2$(metal salt) concentration in the casting solution on morphology, oxygen permeability ami $O_2/N_2$ separation factor of the membrane was studied. In addition, tensile strength and elongation at break of the membrane were investigated. An asymmetric membrane with a dense top layer and a porous sublayer was obtained. The thickness of the dense top layer decreased with increasing amount of nonsolvent additive. Compared with pure PC membrane without additive(metal salt), the oxygen permeability and $O_2/N_2$ separation factor of the $PC/CuCl_2$ membrane are significantly improved. The oxygen permeability and $O_2/N_2$ separation factor is $5.25{\times}10^{-9}cm^3(STP){\cdot}cm/cm^2{\cdot}sec{\cdot}cmHg$ and 4.5, respectively. This improvement might be due to good interaction between metal salt and oxygen.

Surface oxides and intergranular (IG) oxidation phenomena in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration were characterized to obtain clear insight into the primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) behavior upon exposure to pressurized water reactor primary water. When hydrogen concentration was between 5 and 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O, NiFe₂O₄ and NiO type oxides were found on the surface. NiO type oxides were found inside the oxidized grain boundary when hydrogen concentration was 5 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. However, only NiFe₂O₄ spinel on the surface and Ni enrichment were observed when hydrogen concentration was 30 cm³ H₂/kg H₂O. These results indicate that the oxidation/reduction reaction of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can considerably affect surface oxidation behavior. It appears that the formation of NiO type oxides in a Ni oxidation state and Ni enrichment in a Ni reduction (or metallic) state are common in primary water. It is believed that the above different oxidation/reduction reactions of Ni in Alloy 600 depending on hydrogen concentration can also significantly affect the resistance to PWSCC of Alloy 600.

Detailed structures of the counterflow flames formed for different inlet fluid temperatures and different amount of additives are studied numerically. The detailed chemical reactions are modeled by using the CHEMKIN-II code. The discrete ordinates method and the narrow band based WSGGM with a gray gas regrouping technique (WSGGM-RG) are applied for modeling the radiative transfer through non-homogeneous and non-isothermal combustion gas mixtures generated by the counterflow flames. The results compared with those obtained by using the SNB model show that the WSGGM-RG is very successful in modeling the counterflow flames with non-gray gas mixture. The numerical results also show that the addition of $CO_2\;or\;H_2O$ to the oxidant lowers the peak temperature and the NO concentration in flame. But preheat of fuel or oxidant raises the flame temperature and the NO production rates. $O_2$ enrichment also causes to raise the temperature distribution and the NO production in flame. And it is found that the $O_2$ enrichment and the fuel preheat were the major parameters in affecting the flame width.

염화에틸렌 화합물에 오염된 토양으로부터 고농도 (150mg/L)의 PCE를 cis-DCE까지 탈염소화하는 혼합미생물 농화 배양계 LYF-1을 구축하였다. LYF-1은 효모추출물, 펩톤, 포름산, 아세트산, 락트산, 피루브산, 시트르산, 석신산, 글루코오스, 수크로오스, 에탄올 등을 전자공여체로 이용하여 PCE를 탈염소화할 수 있었다. 한편, PCE를 대신할 수 있는 전자 수용체에 의한 PCE 탈염소화에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, NO$_3$$^{-}$와 NO$_2$$^{-}$는 PCE의 탈염소화반응을 완전히 저해하였으나, S$_2$O$_3$$^{-2}$ , SO$_3$$^{-2}$ 및 SO$_4$$^{-2}$ 는 PCE의 탈염소화반응에 그다지 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. LYF-1 혼합미생물을 혐기성 고정생물막 반응기내의 세라믹 메디아에 부착하고, PCE의 유입부하율 변화에 따른 처리 효율을 조사한 결과, PCE의 부하율 0.13-0.78 $\mu$moles/L/hr의 범위 내에서 99% 이상의 PCE 탈염소화 효율을 보였으며, PCE 탈염소화 반응의 최종산물은 cis-DCE이었다.

충남 예산군 및 청양군 일대에 분포하는 시대미상의 초염기성암의 기원을 규명하기 위하여 주성분, 미량성분 및 희토류원소(REE)의 전암분석의 결과를 이용하여 연구하였다. 전암분석결과에 의하면 주성분원소 중 $K_{2}O$와 $Na_{2}O$를 제외한 대부분의 원소들은 후기변질작용에 관계없이 일정한 상관관계를 보여주며, primitive 맨틀의 화학조성과 비교할 때 매우 낮은 $Al_{2}O_{3}$ (<1.5%), CaO (<1%), $TiO_{2}$의 값을 나타내며, 비슷한 Ni의 함량을 가진다. 이점으로 미루어 본역의 암석은 상당한 양의 부분용융 (large degree of partial melting)을 받은 맨틀의 잔여물(residues)로 사료된다. REE의 chondrite normalize value는 (La/Yb)c= 1.1-5.2, (Sm/Eu)c=0.6-1.5 및 (Sm/Yb)c= 1.2-1.6 (dunites=0.53-0.77)의 값을 나타낸다. 대부분의 초염기성암이 LREE가 빈화(depleted)된 $(LREE/HREE)_{c}$ < 1) 특징을 보이는데 반해 이 지역의 초염기성암들은 LREE가 약간 부화(enriched)된 ($(LREE/HREE)_{c}$ <1) REE pattern을 나타낸다. 또한, La-Sm-Yb의 ternary diagram을 살펴보면 이들은 chondrite 의 값과 유사한 primitive한 맨틀의 부분용융 후의 잔여물보다 상당히 La가 부화된 양상을 보이며, alkali basalt의 source가 되는 부화된 맨틀의 부분용융 후의 잔여물과 비슷한 화학조성을 나타내고 있다. 이와같은 현상은 사문암화와 같은 후기변질작용 (late stage alteration), pre-melting composition 이 LREE가 부화된 경우, 혹은 빈화된 mantle의 잔여물과 LREE가 부화되어 있는 어떤 component의 mixing에 의한 부화의 가능성 등을 생각해 보았다. 그 결과, 1) 본역의 암석들은 가장 덜 변질받은 암석들만 분석하였고, MgO와 FeO를 다른 oxides로 나눈값을 도시해본 결과 대부분의 oxide들이 매우 좋은 trend를 보여주므로 후기 변질작용에 의한 LREE의 부화가능성은 희박하다고 생각되며, 2) 본역의 암석을 alkali basalt의 source와 같은 LREE가 부화된 deep mantle source에서 부분용융 후의 잔여맨틀로 생각하기에는 이들이 지표 위로 나타날 수 있는 emplacement mechamism을 설명하기가 불가능하다. 따라서 이러한 점으로 마루어볼 때, 이 지역의 초염기성암의 LREE 부화는 두 가지 component의 mixing에 의한 가능성이 가장 높은것으로 사료된다. 상당한량의 부분용융을 받은, 즉 빈화된 맨틀과 LREE가 부화된 component의 mixing에 의하여 이와같이 LREE가 부화된 특성을 보여주고 있다고 사료된다. Component의 성분으로서는 고압에서 LREE를 많이 함유하는 $H_{2}O$나 $CO_{2}$-rich fluid, 혹은 부화된 맨틀의 low degree of partial melting에 의하여 LREE가 부화된 partial melt일 가능성이 높으며 이들이 올라오면서 빈화된 잔여맨틀과 mixing되면서 본역의 암석과 같이 LREE를 부화시켰다고 사료된다.

Characteristics of sedimentary rocks and enrichment of toxic elements in shale and coal from the Chungnam coal field were investigated based upon geochemistry of major, trace and rare earth elements. Shale and coal of the area are interbedded along the Traissic to the Jurassic Daedong Supergroup, which can be subdivided into grey shale, black shale and coal. The coal had been mined, however all the mines are abandonded due to the economic problems. The shale and coal are characterized by relatively low contents of $SiO_2$, and $Al_2O_3$ and high levels of loss-on-ignition (LOI), CaO and $Na_2O$ in comparison with the North American Shale Composite (NASC). Light rare earth elements (La, Ce, Yb and Lu) are highly enriched with the coal. Ratios of $Al_2O_3/Na_2O$ and $K_2O/Na_2O$ in shale and coal range from 30.0 to 351.8 and from 4.2 to 106.8, which have partly negative correlations against $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ (1.24 to 6.06), respectively. Those are suggested that controls of mineral compositions in shale and coal can be due to substitution and migration of those elements by diagenesis and metamorphism. Shale and coal of the area may be deposited in terrestrial basin deduced from high C/S (39 to 895) and variable composition of organic carbon (0.39 to 18.40 wt.%) and low contents of reduced sulfur (0.01 to 0.05 wt.%). These shale and coal were originated from the high grade metamorphic and/or igneous rocks, and the rare earth elements of those rocks are slightly influenced with diagenesis and metamorphism on the basis of $Al_2O_3$ versus La, La against Ce, Zr versus Yb, the ratios of La/Ce (0.38 to 0.85) and Th/U (3.6 to 14.6). Characteristics of trace and rare earth elements as Co/Th (0.07 to 0.86), La/Sc (0.31 to 11.05), Se/Th (0.28 to 1.06), V/Ni (1.14 to 3.97), Cr/V (1.4 to 28.3), Ni/Co (2.12 to 8.00) and Zr/Hf (22.6~45.1) in the shale and coal argue for inefficient mixing of the simple source lithologies during sedimentation. These rocks also show much variation in $La_N/Yb_N$ (1.36 to 21.68), Th/Yb (3.5 to 20.0) and La/Th (0.31 to 7.89), and their origin is explained by derivation from a mixture of mainly acidic igneous and metamorphic rocks. Average concentrations in the shale and coal are As=7.2 and 7.5, Ba=913 and 974, Cr=500 and 145, Cu=20 and 26, Ni=38 and 35, Pb=30 and 36, and Zn=77 and 92 ppm, respectively, which are similar to those in the NASC. Average enrichment indices for major elements in the shale (0.79) and coal (0.77) are lower than those in the NASC. In addition, average enrichment index for rare earth elements in coal (2.39) is enriched rather than the shale (1.55). On the basis of the NASC, concentrations of minor and/or environmental toxic elements in the shale and coal were depleted of all the elements examined, excepting Cr, Pb, Rb and Th. Average enrichment indices of trace and/or potentially toxic elements (As, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, U and Zn) are 1.23 to 1.24 for shale and 1.06 to 1.22 for coal, respectively.

Unlike most Escherichia coli strains, E coli O157 : H7 didn't ferment sorbitol within 24h of incubation and showed a negative reaction for $\beta$-glucuronidase. We developed a new medium for the rapid isolation of E coli O157 : H7 using sorbitol MacConkey agar with cefixime, potassium tellurite and 4-methylumbelliferyl-${\beta}$-D-glucuronide (MUG) as a primary plating medium. The addition of $20{\mu}g/ml$ of vancomycin in enrichment broth for E coli O157 : H7 inhibited lots of Gram positive bacteria. Three strains (10.3%) of 29 non-O157 E coli strains and 3 strains (8.3%) of 36 Salmonella spp were inhibited at the $0.05{\mu}g/ml$ of cefixime and 23 strains (79.3%) of 29 non-O157 E coli strains and 12 strains (33.3%) of 36 Salmonella spp were inhibited at the $2.0{\mu}g/ml$ of potassium tellurite. But none of the E coli O157 : H7 was affected at these concentration. The addition of MUG at $100{\mu}g/ml$ level to sorbitol MacConkey agar with cefixime and potassium tellurite (CTM-SMAC) aided in the rapid isolation of E coli O157 : H7 from samples by checking sorbitol-negative and $\beta$-glucuronidase negative phenotypes simultaneously. In conclusion, inoculation of a positive in the O157 screening test from enrichment broth on CTM-SMAC appeared to be a rapid, cost-effective and sensitive method for the isolation of E coli O157 : H7.

In this study, Malachite Green (MG) dye removal from synthetic wastewaters by adsorption process using raw boron enrichment waste (BEW) and it's modifications (with acid and ultrasound) were aimed. 81% MG removal was obtained by BEW at optimum equilibrium conditions (time: 40 min., dosage: 500 mg/dm³, pH: 5-6, speed: 200 rpm, 298 K). MG removal from wastewaters using acid modified boron enrichment waste (HBEW) was determined as 82% at optimum conditions (time: 20 min., dosage: 200 mg/dm³, pH: 10, speed: 200 rpm, 298 K). For ultrasound modified BEW (UBEW), the highest MG removal percent was achieved as 84% at optimum conditions (time: 30 min, dosage: 375 mg/ dm³, pH: 8, speed: 200 rpm, 298 K). The equilibrium data of Malachite Green was evaluated for BEW, HBEW and UBEW adsorbents by using sorption isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin models, out of which Langmuir model (R² = 0.971, 0.987 and 0.984) gave better correlation and maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 147.05, 434.78 and 192.30 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation for sorption of MG onto wastes. A look at thermodynamic data reveals that natural sorption is spontaneous and endothermic because of free negative energy exchange and positive change in enthalpy, respectively. The results indicated that boron enrichment waste, and HCl and ultrasound-modified boron enrichment waste served as good alternative adsorbents in dye removal from wastewater.

Geochemical studies on gold-bearing quartz veins and wallrocks from the Okgye mine were carried out in order to investigate the primary dispersion patterns of gold and associated elements and to quantify the dispersion width of elements with distance from the gold-bearing quartz veins. Gold-bearing quartz veins occur in basaltic trachyandesite of unknown age. Enrichment of $k_2O$, MnO, Au, As, Rb, Sb, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag and Cd, and depletion of $Na_2O$ and Sr are found in altered wallrocks. The ratio of $k_2O(k_2O+Na_2O)$, alteration index for trace elements, and Rb/Sr in altered wallrocks are increased, whereas Sr/CaO ratio is decreased with approach to the gold-bearing quartz veins. The widths of primary dispersion range from 17 cm to 155 cm. The relative dispersion width increases in order Au=Cu=Zn=Ag=Cd$k_2O$=Rb and Ba< $Na_2O$ $Na_2O$, As, Sb, Sr, Pb, Au, Cu, Zn, Ag and Cd, and a quadratic function for $k_2O$, MnO, Rb and Ba.

The atmospheric aerosols collected at the 1100 site located in Mt. Halla have been analyzed to investigate their compositions and chemical characteristics . The average concentrations of water-soluble cations were in the order of N $H_{4}$$^{+}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > N $a^{+}$ > $K^{+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ during the spring, showing high increase of $Ca^{2+}$ concentration with the value of 0.60 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ $m^3$, and N $H_{4}$$^{+}$> N $a^{+}$> $K^{+}$> $Ca^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ during the other seasons. The average concentrations of anions have shown in the order of S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ > N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ >C $l^{[-10]}$ for all seasons, and S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ and N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ had higher concentrations in spring with the values of 4.84 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ $m^3$ and 1.08 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ $m^3$, respectively. From the analytical data of size-segregated particles by cascade impactor sampling, the components of N $H_{4}$$^{+}$, S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$, N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ and $K^{+}$ were distributed mainly in fine particles, but $Ca^{2+}$, N $a^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and C $l^{[-10]}$ were included mostly in coarse particles. The correlation coefficients of nss-S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$/N $H_{4}$$^{+}$, nss-S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$/ $K^{+}$ and N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ /nss-C $a^{2+}$ showed quite high values with 0.871, 0.857 and 0.654, respectively Based on the study of enrichment factors, it is considered that N $a^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, C $l^{[-10]}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ components were delivered from oceanic and soil sources, but S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$, N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ and N $H_{4}$$^{+}$ might have other source origins. The factor analysis study showed the aerosol at the 1100 site was influenced mainly by anthropogenic factors, followed by oceanic and soil factors. followed by oceanic and soil factors.
