The purpose of this study is to use organisms or micro-organism functions for eco-friendly water-purification of cement bricks, utilizing bioremediation. Many researches have been performed in the past to improve water quality by using effective micro-organisms in construction materials. In order to purify water using micro-organisms, this research used soybean paste bacteria, an effective micro-organism that was identified through 16S rDNA sequence analysis performed in Daegu S. Environment Protection Institute in addition to Natto bacteria that was studied in the previous research. With these effective micro-organisms with water-purification ability, this study examined their water-purification possibility on cement bricks. This study used Zeolite to immobilize micro-organisms to bricks, and confirmed that the micro-organisms were attached on Zeolite from SEM analysis. The experimental results showed that specific micro-organisms can be used to effectively remove contamination an used to develop eco-friendly construction materials. The study on micro-organisms for material purification shows great promises as a future research topic.

A pilot scale biostimulation experiment was performed under field conditions to degrade organic pollutants and PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds) in contaminated coastal sediment. During the experiment, the seawater temperature around the sediment varied from $16.5^{\circ}C$ to $21^{\circ}C$, while the sediment pH was stable at 8.4-8.5. The experiment was conducted over a one year period with a control group and a sample group with a applied biostimulant composed of acetate, sulfate, and nitrate. Chemical oxygen demand decreased 39% in the control group and 79% in the sample group. Volatile solids were reduced from 15 to 7 g/kg in the control group and 2.5 g/kg in the sample group. Out of the 2-, 3- ,4- ,5-, and 6-rings of the 16 vital PAHs, the compound including naphthalene (2-ring), took 2 months to degrade completely, while the degradation efficiency was 55.6% in the control group during the same period. In the case of the 3-ring and 4-ring PAHs, complete degradation in the sample and 46% - 100% degradation in control was observed after one year of the experiment. The 5-ring and 6-ring PAHs were degraded to about 77%-100% in the sample group and 26%-87% in the control group during the one year of the experiment. The study results show that biostimulation is a very effective method to improve the degradation rate of organic pollutants and PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds) in contaminated coastal sediment.

본 연구는 전자선을 이용하여 염색폐수에 함유되어 있는 난분해성 물질을 생물학적으로 분해가 용이한 물질로 전환시키는 한편 전환되어진 물질을 표준 활성슬러지법을 이용하여 생물학적 처리함으로 처리효율을 극대화 하는 전자선이용 염색폐수 정화기술을 개발하기위해 수행하였다. 종합 염색폐수에 1 kGy의 전자선 전처리를 한 후 생물학적 처리를 연계하였을 때 0.1 이상의 생분해도 증가를 나타냈으며 오염부하량 변화에 따른 미생물 활동도역시 안정적이었다. 또한 물벼룩을 이용한 생태독성 평가에서도 2.49의 원폐수 독성이 2.16이하로 감소함을 확인하였다. 난분해성 물질에 대한 전자선 전처리의 효과를 확인하기 위하여 대표적인 난분해성 물질인 TPA 인공폐수를 대상으로 전자선 가속기 전처리한 결과40 % 이상 처리효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 전자선 전처리와 생물학적 처리공정의 연계로 보다 효과적인 염색폐수의 처리가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

개불류는 연안의 사니질에서 쉽게 발견되며 그 종류의 수나 자원량이 풍부한 저서동물군이다. 이들은 번식력이 강하고 저질에 U자형의 굴을 뚫어 해수를 순환하게 함으로써 유기성분을 변화시켜 저질을 정화시키기도 하는 등, 연안생태계에서 매우 중요한 위치를 점하고 있다. 개불의 양식기술을 개발하기 위해서는 우선적으로 어미의 확보 및 산란유발, 난발생 및 유생사육 등에 관한 생물학적인 기초자료가 필요하게 된다. (중략)

이매패류는 내장 기관계와 외투강 기관계에 다양한 분비선을 가지는데, 이들 분비선은 대부분 단세포선의 형태이다. 선세포의 종류는 기관에 따라 다르며, 동일한 기관일지라도 생물종에 따라 현미경적 구조와 기능이 다양하게 보고되고 있다. 일반적으로 외투강 기관계 가운데 외투막 상피층에 존재하는 선세포들은 주로 외투강의 정화 및 패각형성에 관여한다. 아가미에 존재하는 선세포들은 발달된 섬모들과 함께 먹이 포획 기능을 하고, 발의 상피층을 구성하는 선세포들은 점액을 분비하여 내부 근육층을 보호하고 아울러 저질 잠입에 유리한조건을 제시하게 된다.

To know the seawater infiltration into tidal flat sediment in coastal area is very important, because it is significantly correlated with the infiltration and transportation of pollutants in soil, the supply of dissolved oxygen, nutrients and organic matter to benthic organisms for survival of benthic organisms and the seawater purification. So, we set up purpose to clarify the infiltration behavior of seawater by wave action in tidal flat, to clear the effects of slope of tidal flat and breaking wave height on seawater infiltration and to quantify the infiltration volume of seawater. For purpose, the seawater infiltration was studied with visualization method by using coloring tracer and transparent glass beads replaced as natural sediment in model tidal flat. Specific conclusions derived from this study are as follows. The semi-circular type infiltration of seawater by wave action into saturated sediment was a new infiltration behavior that was not considered in previous studies. The infiltration rate of seawater was increased with increasing of breaking wave height and slope of tidal flat. However, the effects of the slope was bigger than that of breaking wave height on seawater infiltration into tidal flat sediments. It was possible to calculate the infiltration volume of seawater by wave action in natural tidal flat sediment and in fields. Therefore, we can point out that wave action play an important role in the supply of dissolved oxygen, nutrients and organic matter to benthic organisms, transportation or diffusion of pollutants and seawater purification. So, we hope to be studied the supply of food to benthic organism, pollutant transport and seawater purification on the base of these results.

Domestic treatment facilities for acid mine drainage (AMD) mostly used a passive treatment process. But some passive treatment facility discharged high manganese concentrations because it is required high pH (>9) for abiotic oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn(IV). This study was focused on the feasibility of biological manganese treatment using the manganese-oxidizing bacteria (Pseudomonas sp. MN5) from AMD and economical application method of it. To investigate the various conditions of water quality the most part of the experiments were based on batch test. And result of it showed that maximum manganese oxidation rate were $10.4mg/L{\cdot}h$ at the pH7. We also performed small column tests in which MOB were attached to the functional polyurethane (FPU) media containing alkaline chemicals. Manganese concentration decreased 42 mg/L to below 6 mg/L. But anaerobic condition formed by excessive bacterial respiration in column resulted in increasing effluent manganese concentration.
